After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Helan Xuenuo asked Xiaozhu and Xiao Yuanzhao to guard it just in case.

Xiao Yuanzhao also wanted to go down, but Helan Xuenuo thought about it again and again and decided not to let him go down. If there was anything in the cave, she couldn't afford to compensate Xiao Yuanzhao. Although she knew that there was nothing down there, she said, "Be good, sister will come up later and take you to buy some candy."

"Okay." Xiao Yuanzhao had to compromise after hearing about the sugar. After all, the temptation of sugar was greater. If he went down, Huang Jiuyuan might pinch him again. His face had been pinched by Huang Jiuyuan so many times today that it turned red.

The two of them watched Helan Xuenuo walking down the stone steps with concern.

It was a little dark down there, but it was daytime, and the light filtered into the secret room, making it much brighter.

Before she went down, she heard Huang Jiuyuan's exclamation. At this time, Huang Jiuyuan had already walked into the basement.

She looked over in the direction of Huang Jiuyuan's voice.

There were ten large boxes of things stacked in front of Huang Jiuyuan.

He opened a box, which was full of gold ingots. He picked one up and looked at it, his mouth opened wide, "There really are treasures."

This was within Helan Xuenuo's expectations.

Even though Qi's parents had committed such a big mistake, they still thought of asking her father to protect Qi Didi. Naturally, they knew her father's temper very well.

He also understood the emperor's temperament and never killed innocent people.

During all these years in power, he would kill anyone who committed a crime, without exterminating the entire family.

It was only because the corruption of the Qi family indirectly led to the death of the prince that made the emperor furious. However, as the old general pleaded for mercy, he felt compassion and let Qi Didi go.

Since he knew that his daughter was fine, he would definitely prepare some necessities of survival for her, that is, gold, silver and money.

But she didn't expect there would be so many.

Fortunately, Qi Didi was afraid of attracting attention, so she only took a little at a time. A lot of gold ingots from a box were taken away.

This money is probably enough for her to support a lot of private soldiers.

In the previous life, how much did these gold, silver and treasures help her and the second prince Gu Yanli?

The killer today couldn't have been hired by anyone other than Qi Didi.

Since she likes to spend gold bars to buy lives, she can only empty out all the gold, silver and jewelry.

Thinking of Qi Didi seeing the empty room, she felt relieved.

Huang Jiuyuan opened another box, which was filled with jewelry. After looking through them, he found that they were all very valuable.

He asked curiously, "How do you know there are so many treasures here?"

"I can tell you this... but I know it won't do you any good. Instead, it could lead to fatal consequences."

Huang Jiuyuan said in horror, "Is it so terrifying? Forget it, don't tell me. I still want to live a long life."

Helan Xuenuo smiled. She was just teasing Huang Jiuyuan, and Huang Jiuyuan didn't ask any more questions.

Huang Jiuyuan glanced at the room full of gold, silver, and jewelry and said, "Can we spend all this gold, silver, and treasure? What do you plan to use it for?"

Helan Xuenuo shook his head and replied, "It's ill-gotten gains, and I don't feel comfortable spending it. I plan to donate it or sink it into the river."

Huang Jiuyuan curled his lips and smiled, "There's really no need to sink Jiang. I have a good idea."

"You said."

"A few days ago, a sudden flood struck the Jiangnan region south of here, leaving many civilians homeless. Qingzhou Prefect Chen Shi'an was in charge of disaster relief. However, disaster relief is one thing, but it also requires money. The national treasury has been somewhat strained due to the numerous wars in recent years. So, when the Qingzhou Prefect went to the capital to meet the Emperor, he thought of asking the ministers to raise funds, and my father was the first person he would turn to. My stingy father felt bad about donating, but he couldn't help but donate, so he donated two boxes of gold ingots, claiming it was all his belongings. But Your Majesty doesn't know that these two boxes of gold ingots are of no use to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it doesn't hurt at all."

"You mean, donate it to the Qingzhou prefect and let him use it for disaster relief."

Huang Jiuyuan curled his lips and smiled, a hint of admiration flashing across his face, "Smart."

Helan Xuenuo recalled the corruption in the Qi Mansion's disaster relief efforts many years ago and felt somewhat uneasy. She asked, "How do you know Chen Shi'an is an honest official?"

Huang Jiuyuan's face was illuminated by the light coming in from above, his eyes were bright, making people unable to help but stare at his eyes, they were really handsome. Helan Xuenuo stared at him for a while, wondering why Huang Jiuyuan was so handsome, even more charming than her, a woman.

Huang Jiuyuan touched his face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Helan Xuenuo replied without hiding anything, "You are so handsome, it's a pity that you are a man."

Huang Jiuyuan started to act mean again, and said with a smile, "Even if she's pretty, don't look at her too much. Don't fall in love with me by accident."

Helan Xuebi was speechless. She shouldn't have praised him just now. She added, "Let's get down to business."

Huang Jiuyuan straightened his body and became more serious. "With the lessons learned from the past, Your Majesty is more cautious in selecting people. Originally, my father wanted to recommend someone, but Your Majesty specifically asked Prince Ding'an. Prince Ding'an recommended the Qingzhou prefect. Qingzhou Prefect Chen Shi'an's family is very poor, but he is a rare honest official. He lives frugally and spends all his money on helping the people. This is well known. His annual salary is only a small amount, and he is unwilling to accept bribes. Therefore, many people are afraid of him. His integrity is fearless."

"Prince Ding'an?"

"When I rescued you today, I saw that you were so resentful. Does Prince Ding'an have a grudge against you?"

"Have a grudge."

"What grudge?"

"The more you know, the faster you die."

Huang Jiuyuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Then don't tell me."

Thinking that it was Gu Shicheng who recommended the Qingzhou prefect, he must be an honest official. Gu Shicheng's personality is just like that, aloof and arrogant, self-righteous, never around in official circles, and even less willing to get close to anyone.

If it weren't for Qi Didi in his previous life, he probably wouldn't have been involved in the court disputes to help the second prince seize the throne.

But thinking about how Gu Shicheng has come forward and now has two military tokens, the more he has, the more danger he will face.

Considering the Second Prince Gu Yanli is so cunning and fearful, how could he keep a powerful prince by his side when he becomes the new emperor?

She gave the two military tokens to Gu Shicheng in order to kill someone with a borrowed knife. She wanted to make Gu Shicheng's wings fully grown before killing him.

Xiao Zhu's voice came from above, "Girl, why haven't you come out yet?"

"Come out right now."

Helan Xuenuo was in trouble. She couldn't move so many big boxes. What should she do?

Huang Jiuyuan understood her uneasiness and said with a smile, "You're stupid! The Qingzhou prefect is still at the post station in the capital, collecting disaster relief funds. He won't be heading south until tomorrow. Why don't we just send him a letter and ask him to come over himself? Why are we going through all this trouble?"

"Right."

They walked out of the basement one after another and felt it was very smooth.

Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yuanzhao looked at them curiously, waiting for Helan Xuenuo to tell them what treasures were inside.

Helan Xuenuo pretended to be mysterious and said, "Xiaozhu, guess what's inside?"

"Girl, what is it? Tell Xiaozhu quickly."

Helan Xuenuo gestured with her hands, "Ten whole boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry. I can't spend them all in this lifetime."

Xiao Zhu was very surprised and became rich.

Unexpectedly, before she could figure out how to spend the money, Helan Xuenuo told her that she was going to donate it.

Happy for nothing.
