When the old princess learned that Gu Shicheng was in charge of two military tokens, she became even more proud. She was extremely excited and discussed with Aunt Cui about holding a banquet.

Aunt Cui said in embarrassment, "I think it's not possible. People are still talking about the last Spring Festival Banquet. I'm afraid that holding another banquet will only remind everyone of this scandal."

The old princess thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. "Forget it, I get angry when I talk about the Spring Banquet. It's all because of that bitch."

"Does the old princess want to vent her anger?"

"tell me the story."

A quarter of an hour after they finished their discussion, Aunt Cui asked someone to invite the concubine over, saying that the old princess wanted to teach her some etiquette.

Qi Didi came to the old princess's room reluctantly.

The old princess looked her up and down with a look of disdain in her eyes. "You haven't learned the rules yet, have you?"

Qi Didi replied, "A tutor in the mansion had taught me before."

Aunt Cui said, "What can a maid from the General's Mansion know? If you marry into a prince's mansion, you must learn the rules of the palace. You must sit and stand properly. You can't be like before."

Qi Didi suppressed her unhappiness. She didn't dare to offend the old princess. Gu Shicheng's attitude towards her was sometimes hot and sometimes cold. If she offended the old princess, her life would be difficult, so she could only keep a low profile.

Qi Didi said softly, "It all depends on Aunt Cui's teachings."

Aunt Cui has a cunning look on her face, with too much white in her eyes, and she looks like a villain who has gained power.

She walked to the table proudly, picked up a white porcelain cup, put it in Qi Didi's hand, picked up the teapot, and added tea into the cup.

The tea had just boiled, and Qi Didi was caught off guard and was scalded so much that she let go of her hand, causing the cup to fall and spill all over the floor.

The fingers of both hands were so hot that they felt like they were being burned.

The old princess roared, "How dare you! You can't even hold a cup of tea steadily. Do you have any manners at all like a lady from a noble family? If you can't hold this cup of tea steadily, you will have to come here every day to serve tea and kneel here every day. This is the rule of the palace."

Aunt Cui faked a smile and said, "Princess, do you want to continue?"

Could she not continue?

Qi Didi could only pick up the white porcelain cup, enduring the pain and holding the cup without letting go.

She didn't know how Helan Xuenuo had endured these pains thousands of times in her previous life.

She endured it until she heard familiar footsteps approaching. She dropped the cup, screamed, and fainted.

Gu Shicheng came in from outside and saw the scene in front of him.

Qi Didi was lying on the ground with her palms spread out and her fingers red. There was a puddle of water not far away.

He picked up Qi Didi's hand and took a look at it, then looked at the cup that had fallen to the side.

Aunt Cui panicked and tried to bend down to pick up the cup, but Gu Shicheng got there first. Gu Shicheng touched the cup and found it was burning hot. He was so angry that he smashed it aside and it broke into irregular pieces.

Suddenly I was stunned.

In her previous life, Helan Xuenuo had begged him for help many times with red hands, as she could not stand the abuse from the old princess.

After that, Helan Xuenuo never begged him again, but only asked him to give her a letter of divorce and let her go.

But he was never willing to listen, and even unwilling to believe that his mother would do such a thing.

Looking at Aunt Cui and the old princess, he felt bitter and angry, and it took a long time to calm down.

Aunt Cui quickly explained, "The side princess must be feeling a little weak. When the old princess was about to take the tea when she was offering it, she fainted."

Gu Shicheng asked, "Does serving tea require such scalding hot tea?"

He walked to the table, picked up the teapot, and poured the smoking-hot tea. The tea splashed on Aunt Cui's feet, and she endured the pain and dared not move.

She knelt on the ground and burst into tears again, "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I got the wrong tea. It's all my fault."

He looked at the old princess, who avoided his gaze and touched her head, saying, "Aunt Cui, I feel dizzy. Please bring me some medicine quickly."

Gu Shicheng withdrew his gaze, picked up Qi Didi from the ground and prepared to leave. As he was about to step out of the door, he turned back to look at Aunt Cui and said coldly, "Cui, if I find out about this again in the future, you can retire and return home."

Qi Didi buried herself in Gu Shicheng's arms, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

It was she who asked the maid in the room to tell Gu Shicheng. She bet that Gu Shicheng would come, and when she heard the footsteps, she pretended to faint, otherwise these two would torture her no matter how.

Gu Shicheng's mother was born into a noble family. She was pampered and spoiled since childhood. She was born bad, and with the instigation of Aunt Cui, she became even worse.

In her previous life, Helan Xuenuo was often abused by them. If Gu Shicheng was not around, they would send people to capture Helan Xuenuo and lock him up in a dark room for a few days.

She will be released only after Gu Shicheng comes back.

Helan Xuenuo cried and begged Gu Shicheng more than once, but Gu Shicheng thought she was being unreasonable.

Later, Gu Shicheng used Helan Xuenuo as a shield again and again, making the entire palace think that Gu Shicheng loved Helan Xuenuo too much, and the princess was unwilling to share a man with others, so the prince was unwilling to take a concubine.

After the child died, the old princess believed that Helan Xuenuo had aborted the child herself.

The imperial physician sent by Qi Didi diagnosed that Helan Xuenuo could not get pregnant again.

Since then, the old princess wished that Helan Xuenuo would die soon.

Unexpectedly, Helan Xuenuo survived every time, and she even didn't expect that Gu Shicheng would die first.

At that moment, all the hatred reached its peak.

Helan Xuenuo was always awakened by these nightmares.

In the dream, the old princess scalded her hands with boiling water. Aunt Cui and the old princess locked her in a dark room. The mice in the room were squeaking. She was scared and trembling, huddled in the corner, calling for her father and mother.

But there is no parent who can save her.

She couldn't die. If she died, Gu Shicheng would kill Xiao Zhu.

After Xiaozhu died, she no longer wanted to commit suicide. She was like a wandering corpse, and she had to be an eyesore to the old princess no matter what. That was the last revenge she could do to the best of her ability.

She thought about killing Gu Shicheng every day. She swung her knife to kill Gu Shicheng many times, but was stopped every time.

So after Gu Shicheng committed suicide by taking poison, they all thought it was her who did it.

Only she knew that Gu Shicheng committed suicide by taking poison for Qi Didi, so that Qi Didi would no longer be afraid and could control Donglai Kingdom with peace of mind.

But... Gu Shicheng died on his own, and she couldn't even kill her enemy in the end.

If she stayed alive, she would not be able to seek revenge on Qi Didi and would only be tortured to death by the old princess. It would be better for her to die.

When she took the poison, she was completely desperate. Even the pain of the poison entering her body and corroding her liver and intestines was not as painful as her heartache.

Fortunately, everything started over again.

When she woke up from a dream, she would always pinch her hands to confirm whether she was really reborn.

Every time she pinched the flesh, the real touch made her feel at ease.

She also thought about how the old princess would treat Qi Didi if she was so unbearable as to marry into the palace in this life?

Qi Didi is not a pushover, and the old princess is also very stupid and evil. I guess it will be a fight between two wolves, and both will suffer losses.

Thinking of the torturous old princess and Aunt Cui, she couldn't help but sneer.

Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?

She wanted Qi Didi to feel the humiliation and abuse she had suffered in her previous life, bit by bit.

"Miss, the servant is here to tell you that Xiao Yuanzhao is here and is waiting in the courtyard." Xiao Zhu's words brought Helan Xuenuo back to reality. She let go of the heavy past and decided not to think about it anymore.

"Little Yuan Zhao?"

"The old general and his wife are talking to him in the main hall. Little Yuanzhao said he came here to play with a girl."

Helan Xuenuo thought of the cute meat dumplings and felt happy.

Yuan Xu and his companions left in a hurry that day, so they didn't have time to take Yuan Zhao with them.

Little Yuanzhao was really bored staying in the mansion, and his grandfather always spanked him, so he could only find a reason to ask the servants in the mansion to take him to Helan Mansion to play.

Yuanzhao was so happy that he was delayed for a few days to take care of little Yuanzhao and did not properly develop his weapons and explosives.

He was happy to see the child off.

He really doesn't look like a real grandfather.
