After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

They boarded the carriage and headed back to the capital.

Huang Jiuyuan realized something was wrong and said, "Why don't we just find a restaurant in Shilipu ahead, borrow some paper and pen, write a letter, and have the driver deliver it? We'll have to come back later to open the secret room for him, and the whole car will be too tiring to go back and forth."

Helan Xuenuo replied, "That's true. You've become a lot smarter today."

"Of course. I'm smart in many other ways. You'll discover more of me in the future."

Xiao Yuanzhao complained, "Big stupid pig."

Huang Jiuyuan pinched his face and said, "Who are you talking about, you idiot?"

The two of them started arguing back and forth.

Helan Xuenuo remembered that there was indeed a restaurant at Shilipu, a little further ahead, that catered exclusively to passers-by.

I'm really tired from all the trouble.

They turned to the Shilipo Restaurant, which had only one room on the first floor with a few tables scattered around, and looked very deserted.

Helan Xuenuo borrowed paper and pen from the restaurant, wrote a letter, and signed her name with the words "female hero".

Huang Jiuyuan watched her finish writing and said unhappily, "Only female heroes? No male heroes like me?"

"Yes... yes..." Helan Xuenuo added two more words on the paper: blind man.

Huang Jiuyuan saw it and saw that Helan Xuenuo was secretly happy after she finished writing. He didn't want to argue with her anymore and just let her be happy.

After the driver finished eating a bowl of plain noodles, they asked him to deliver the letter to the post station in the capital. They also went back together and got off the carriage at the dilapidated temple. They asked the driver to go back to the city alone to deliver the letter and then come back to pick them up.

I specifically told the driver again and again to conceal the Helan Mansion when delivering the letter. The driver was also knowledgeable and had experienced countless such things.

When the driver returned to the city, he parked the carriage nearby, got off the carriage alone, and spent some money to ask a beggar to deliver the letter to the post station.

Chen Shi'an, the prefect of Qingzhou, was frowning anxiously in the post station. The national treasury was empty, and this time when collecting disaster relief funds, all the officials were shirking their responsibilities and crying poor, so the amount raised was too little.

When he was anxiously thinking about how to raise more funds, Helan Xuenuo's letter came to him like timely rain.

I saw in the letter that someone donated ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, which can alleviate our urgent needs.

He took a group of guards with him. If there were really ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry as mentioned, they would set off that day and go south to provide disaster relief.

Helan Xuenuo and the other three were guarding the dilapidated temple, feeding mosquitoes, and their faces and hands were swollen with red blood blisters.

Xiao Yuanzhao attracts mosquitoes the most. Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu are helping Xiao Yuanzhao swat the mosquitoes that are glaring at him.

Huang Jiuyuan scratched his face and said, "If I had known that I would be doing such a hard job today, I would never have come no matter what."

Helan Xuenuo was concentrating on swatting mosquitoes. "I didn't ask you to come. It wouldn't be so troublesome if you didn't come."

Huang Jiuyuan was dissatisfied, "You...how could you be like this? After all, I was the one who knocked out the empty bricks for the secret room, right? And...without my clever plan, you would have been struggling for days to transport all these jewels."

Helan Xuenuo said, "I know...I know..."

She was concentrating on catching mosquitoes. One flew in front of her and she was about to slap it to death. But before she could slap it, Huang Jiuyuan slapped it to death for her. The mosquito's blood flowed into his palm, and Huang Jiuyuan showed it to her.

I wonder whose blood this mosquito sucked? It's a pity that even after eating and drinking, it still died.

Huang Jiuyuan laughed shamelessly, "How are you going to thank me?"

Helan Xuenuo suddenly remembered what she had said to the Second Prince Gu Yanli in the autumn field that day about Shen Yinzhen. She said that day in order to make the Second Prince focus his attention on Shen Yinzhen. Shen Yinzhen's father, the Minister of Personnel, was no empty talk. He had supported so many of his own people over the years and had such a strong influence.

The Second Prince, judging the situation, should have understood that Shen Yinzhen was her first choice.

She took advantage of the situation and did a favor for the second prince.

Moreover, if Shen Yinzhen, such a simple-minded person, becomes the queen in the future, there is no need to worry about her causing any big trouble.

Another reason is that the position of the Second Prince's wife is occupied, so that when the Princess of Mengnan comes to choose a husband, she can avoid the Second Prince.

By then, the third prince and the second prince will both have wives, so the remaining Princess of Mengnan will definitely choose another young member of the royal family. Yes, it will be Gu Shicheng.

Everything was a chess game she carefully planned.

In her previous life, the princess of Mengnan Kingdom was rescued by the second prince Gu Yanli, and she fell in love with Gu Yanli and became his principal wife.

However, she died of severe hemorrhage during childbirth.

At that time, the whole country of Mengnan hung white banners to commemorate the princess.

She is a very favored princess.

It’s a pity that no matter how favored she was, her father was unwilling to let her come all the way to marry him.

This cannot be blamed on the Emperor of Mengnan. After all, Mengnan is located in a remote area and only produces cattle and sheep. It has relied on the protection of Donglai for generations. In order to strengthen the ties between the two countries, the emperor sent his princess to marry the princess to ensure peace and prosperity for the people of Mengnan for hundreds of years.

After Princess Mengnan died, Qi Didi was naturally crowned queen.

Now I think, everything seems not so simple, maybe the princess was killed by Qi Didi? Her methods are so vicious, I think it is probably her who did it.

Qi Didi is only a concubine now. If she sends Gu Shicheng a principal wife, how angry will Qi Didi be?

Moreover, she was the princess of Mengnan Kingdom. For a time, Gu Shicheng became extremely powerful, with Mengnan Kingdom behind him.

Gu Yanli is such a suspicious person.

I'm afraid that by then Gu Shicheng will be dead.

She laughed at the thought.

Huang Jiuyuan saw Helan Xuenuo smiling thoughtfully and tapped her forehead with his knuckles. "What are you thinking about? Have you thought about how to thank me?"

Helan Xuenuo curled her lips and smiled, "I did something for you. In a few days, when Shen Yinzhen marries the Second Prince, you really have to set up a few tables to thank me."

Huang Jiuyuan said in disbelief, "Really?"

His father had repeatedly mentioned the matter between him and Shen Yinzhen, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, and he did have the idea of proposing marriage, but he knew that he could not persuade his father, the Prime Minister.

Thinking of Shen Yinzhen's yelling and infatuated look, he was indeed a little scared.

For so many years, Shen Yinzhen was the only girl who knew that he was a playboy and created opportunities for him to meet her. Moreover, this girl had a bad temper and he didn't like her looks.

Now that such a good thing has happened, I have been longing for it.

Helan Xuenuo said, "It's more real than pearls."

"how did you do that?"

Helan Xuenuo was about to reply to her when they heard bursts of footsteps in the distance. The sound was rapid and the pace was steady. It was the sound of a large number of people.

"People are here, I won't say anymore."

She quickly ran into the dilapidated temple, pressed the switch and ran out again.

He pulled the three of them together and squatted in a weedy area.

The grass was taller than people, completely covering them.

Qingzhou prefect Chen Shi'an led a large number of guards, followed by dozens of carts full of things, with boxes on the carts. The team had no end in sight and they arrived in front of the ruined temple.

Chen Shi'an was standing in front of the dilapidated temple, hesitating. Looking at the desolate surroundings, he suspected that he had been tricked.

The staff member beside him said, "Sir, are you being fooled? How can such a shabby temple with three thin walls hold ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry? I'm afraid that raising funds for disaster relief has offended the officials of the court, so they are playing tricks on us."
