After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince
Chapter 56 Confrontation
Helan Xuenuo was filled with anger. Gu Shicheng had been haunting her for the past few days and was even eavesdropping on her conversations, which made her very angry.
She glanced at Gu Shicheng and walked towards the big tent. Gu Shicheng reached out and held her. She wanted to leave, but her arm was held tightly by Gu Shicheng's hand.
She said impatiently, "What do you want to do? There are people around here. If you want to kill me, now is not a good time."
Gu Shicheng's eyes darkened as he sneered, "Kill you?"
"Does Your Majesty still remember the arrow shot from the west side of the autumn field?"
"What arrow?"
"That day, I was nearly killed by an arrow. When I pulled out the arrow, I saw the mark of the palace on it. Could it be that the prince shot the arrow astray while hunting?"
Gu Shicheng was stunned for a moment, then loosened his grip. "So you think this king wants to kill you?"
"Is not it?"
Helan Xuenuo didn't want to say so much, but Gu Shicheng repeatedly showed up in front of her, which made her feel uneasy. It would be better to say some things out loud. She admitted that she couldn't beat them in playing dirty tricks.
There was a hint of confusion in Gu Shicheng's eyes. The black uniform he was wearing made him look particularly handsome, making people afraid to approach him.
Gu Shicheng said, "If I say I didn't do this, would you believe me?"
"Do not believe."
"I didn't mean to kill you, but you've been plotting against me time and time again. Was today's military talisman incident your idea?"
Helan Xuenuo panicked, her mind racing, and she said guiltily, "Your Highness has overestimated me. My father is old and not as healthy as he used to be. He went through the Battle of Nanguan with you and has great admiration for you, so he recommended you without any selfish motives.
Countless people in Donglai have desired military power but never had the chance. Now this opportunity has been presented to you, Your Highness. You should be very happy. Actually, there is no need to express your gratitude. This matter has nothing to do with me, and my father is acting in a just manner. No need to thank me."
She bowed again and said, "They will be anxious if they can't find me. I will take my leave now."
She took anxious steps to leave. Just now, she glanced at Gu Shicheng and saw that he was very angry, with gloom in his eyes. She knew Gu Shicheng too well and was afraid that if she didn't leave, Gu Shicheng might really kill her.
Gu Shicheng chuckled slightly, and said from behind her, "Do you think you're so smart? You think you can stay out of trouble by dragging me into the dispute?"
Hearing this, Helan Xuenuo paused and walked forward without daring to stop. She was wondering what Gu Shicheng meant by saying this to her?
It seems that in this new life, Gu Shicheng should not be underestimated.
She needs to be careful.
Back to the banquet.
Madam Helan drank a glass of wine, her smile particularly relaxed. She asked, "Where is Nuonuo? I almost sent someone to look for you."
"It's okay, mother."
She drank a glass of wine and ate some food, but she was still feeling anxious.
At some point, Gu Shicheng also returned to his seat. He glanced at Helan Xuenuo with a thoughtful look that was impossible to read.
Only Helan Xuenuo saw a hint of black and dared not look anymore.
Qi Didi asked softly, "Your Highness, where did you go just now?"
"nothing."
Qi Didi was very unhappy. She had just seen Helan Xuenuo go out, and then she saw Gu Shicheng go out with her.
Once is a coincidence, twice is impossible.
She felt uncomfortable. Could it be that Helan Xuenuo wanted to steal his man?
Wouldn't you feel at ease even if she married into the palace?
She began to make some plans in her mind and drank a few glasses of wine unhappily.
Gu Shicheng took back her wine jug and said, "Don't drink anymore."
"My Lord, do you care about me?"
Gu Shicheng didn't say anything else.
At the banquet, she really wanted to go crazy, but she didn't know where to start. If she went crazy, she would really lose everything. A tear fell from her eye and fell into the wine glass along her face.
She picked up the last bit of wine and drank it, only to find it very bitter...
After the banquet.
At night, the princess quietly came to the outside of Helan Xuenuo's tent. Helan Xuenuo saw that the princess covered herself tightly with a hooded gauze cloak.
She followed Helan Xuenuo into the big tent, stuck her head out to look around, and then retracted her head.
The whole action was like stealing.
She took off the hooded cloak with confidence, and Xiaozhu took it and hung it aside for her.
She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Isn't it disturbing you?"
Helan Xuenuo smiled and replied, "No, I don't know why the princess came here."
The princess grumbled unhappily, "It seems you've forgotten what you said. Yesterday you said you'd chat with me all night, but today you've completely forgotten everything! Blame me, blame me for wasting my time. I thought everyone would be returning to the capital tomorrow, and our chances of getting together would be few and far between, so I snuck out to be with you. It seems I was being too sentimental."
Helan Xuenuo hurriedly explained, "My dear princess, don't be angry, blame me, blame me."
The princess immediately laughed. She had been pretending to be angry just now. She was a straightforward person. "I was just teasing you."
Helan Xuenuo also laughed. She signaled Xiaozhu with her eyes, "Go get some wine. I want to drink with the princess tonight and chat all night long."
The princess agreed, "I'm feeling a bit hot right now, how about we have some ice wine?"
Helan Xuenuo agreed.
Xiao Zhu followed the order and went to get the wine. When he came back, he brought a few pots of wine and a pot of ice cubes.
She put a pot of ice on the table, took out a pot of wine, and froze a few more pots in it.
Xiao Zhu just took out a pot of wine, and when her hand touched the pot, she shivered all over. She poured two glasses and placed them in front of them.
Helan Xuenuo and the princess picked up their glasses and started drinking. Drinking the cold wine at night made them shudder, but they also felt very refreshed.
Originally, Helan Xuenuo also felt hot and uncomfortable in her heart, but after being cooled by the wine, she temporarily forgot about the unhappiness.
They chatted about all sorts of things, from ancient times to the present, and then they talked about the princess.
The princess began to tell Helan Xuenuo how lovable she was. Her father loved her, her second brother loved her, and her third brother, who was not born of the same mother, also loved her. She was a little drunk and whispered secretly, "Let me tell you, my third brother is kind and honest. He is a very good person, unlike my second brother who has many tricks up his sleeve. Sometimes I really feel that he is my mother's child, not the Queen Mother's."
Helan Xuenuo remembered something and couldn't help asking curiously, "I met His Majesty that day. I saw the princess give His Majesty medicine, but what happened to her body?"
"A few years ago, my father suddenly developed a cough that wouldn't heal for a long time. Luckily, Ning An knew a little bit about pharmacology and developed some medicine that he could take. He stopped coughing after drinking it, but he's been taking medicine ever since. If he doesn't, he'll cough."
"Princess Ning'an knows pharmacology? She's so amazing." Helan Xuenuo felt something strange in her heart. Princess Ning'an was covered with a large veil all day long, which made it really hard to understand.
The princess said proudly, "Isn't it? Although Ning An's face is disfigured and she can't show it to others, she is proficient in everything, especially medicine. It's just that she doesn't like to talk. I've been with her a few times, and her silence made me feel at a loss. So... I don't like being with her."
