After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Chapter 118 Obsession

"Wait here, I'll arrange for someone to prepare the medicine and send it to you." Aunt Cui looked at the prescription with a smile on her face.

"Aunt Cui, please don't bother me. I'll leave the decoction to Cui'er."

Aunt Cui's eyes flashed with cruelty, "Why? Are you afraid that I'll poison you?"

"No...I wouldn't dare...Aunt Cui, you misunderstood. How dare Cui'er make such a presumptuous assumption about you?"

"Haha, I don't know what you're thinking. I have no grudge against the Concubine, so why would you poison her? Besides, the prince is here too. Even if I had a few dozen guts, I wouldn't dare. Just keep your heart in your stomach. The old princess heard that the Concubine was unwell, so she sent me here to check on her and help her. After all, the old princess still hopes that the Concubine will give birth to a child for the prince as soon as possible."

Cui'er agreed and bowed her head.

In the room.

Qi Didi said softly, "Just now, I saw the prince being bitten by my sister. I felt a little dizzy in a hurry. I thought I could hold on... It's my fault..."

Gu Shicheng said, "Get some rest." He stood up and walked out the door. Qi Didi hurriedly tugged at his sleeve, pleading with a look of grievance, "Prince, can you stay tonight?"

Gu Shicheng stopped and frowned slightly...

To this day, he still cannot sleep with Qi Didi. After knowing that it was she who drugged him and made him lie in the same bed with Helan Xuenuo in his previous life, he thought back on everything and realized that he was walking step by step into the trap she had set. It can even be said that he was the murderer of Helan Xuenuo's death, and he even killed his own child with his own hands.

A pain pierced his heart. He turned around and looked at Qi Didi, who was begging him with a sad face. In his previous life, he had loved the woman with all his life, the kind girl who gave him a piece of bread when he was homeless. He couldn't understand why she grew up to be so scheming.

After all, she was the girl he had loved with his life, and Qi Didi had indeed saved his life. He also wanted to hate her, but he could never bear to do it. However, his love for her was gone long ago, and the last bit of love he had left on the day he committed suicide also dissipated along with his life.

In his previous life, it was he who, without clarifying the truth, caused Helan Xuenuo's tragic death. He didn't want to talk about his previous life again. In this life, he wanted to start a new life. His obsession with Qi Didi also dissipated bit by bit when he found out that she was the one who drugged him...

He turned around and pushed Qi Didi's hand away. "Be good and have a good rest. I still have important things to do."

"Your Majesty? I've been in your house for so long, and you've never stayed overnight. But...but what have I done wrong?"

"Do not think too much."

Qi Didi panicked, "Did Helan Xuenuo tell you something? Your Highness, don't listen to her nonsense! I know, she must have wanted to drive a wedge between us, so she told you something, right? Did she tell you to risk your life and jump into the moat to save her? Or do you have feelings for her, Your Highness?"

"This king..." When Gu Shicheng heard that he had her in his heart, he was suddenly at a loss and his mind went blank for a while.

"I know, it must be her. She did it on purpose. I've lived a lonely and helpless life in the Helan Mansion since I was a child. If General Helan hadn't raided my entire Qi Mansion back then, how could I have ended up like this?"

Gu Shicheng looked at Qi Didi's dazed expression and said disappointedly, "Didi, what the Qi family did back then was a crime of extermination. You were only spared because General Helan begged the emperor to protect you, and it just so happened that the emperor was a kind-hearted man. If this had happened in any dynasty, would you have been executed? I still don't understand why you have become like this?"

"Your Highness, do I deserve to die? They clearly caused me to be like this. If Helan Xuenuo hadn't drugged me, would I have been seen as a drowned dog today?"

Gu Shicheng suddenly realized why Qi Didi had made things difficult for Helan Xuenuo in her previous life. It turned out that it was because Qi Didi had harbored unwarranted resentment against her, and she should have been grateful to the Helan Mansion. Later, because of Qi Didi, he treated Helan Xuenuo even more badly. In his heart, Helan Xuenuo was a vicious woman and a despicable person.

Looking at Qi Didi's stubborn look now, he finally understood that everything he did to Helan Xuenuo in the past was the real evil. Qi Didi's words today that wrongly accused Helan Xuenuo were repeated in the previous life, and every time it happened, Helan Xuenuo would be hated more by him, and even despised by him.

Later, the entire Helan family was wiped out.

He looked at Qi Didi in astonishment, his heart aching. It turned out that he had contributed to the annihilation of the entire Helan family in the previous life.

He turned around and walked towards the door in embarrassment.

Qi Didi's plaintive voice could be heard, "Prince, why do you treat me like this? Now even an outsider is more important than me? Helan Xuenuo is a bitch!"

He paused, and his ruthless, low voice reached Qi Didi's ears, "That's enough. The Helan Mansion has done you a favor. Don't be stubborn and keep trying to make things difficult for her. If I find out you're deliberately making things difficult for her again, I won't be able to protect you anymore."

Qi Didi was stunned after hearing this. Gu Shicheng didn't turn around and disappeared without a trace. She grabbed the clothes on her chest and said through gritted teeth, "I knew I shouldn't count on you. Since you like her so much, don't blame me for ruining her."

The drugstore stove was burning.

A maidservant in front of the medicine stove extinguished the fire and bent down to report to Aunt Cui, "Aunt Cui, the medicine is ready. Should we send it to Sister Cui'er now?"

"Wait... This is medicine for the Concubine. The old Concubine specifically instructed me to check it carefully before sending it to you to avoid any harm to her body and to prevent her from getting pregnant soon. Please go out first, I'll bring it out to you later."

The maid lowered her head and left.

Aunt Cui pulled out a medicine bag from her sleeve, added some more, stirred it, and then smiled grimly, "This is just the beginning. As long as you take this for seven days, you will never dream of having a child in this lifetime." After that, she took the medicine stove out and handed it to the maid, and specifically instructed, "You go with Cui'er and deliver it to the concubine. Make sure you see the concubine finish drinking the medicine before returning, otherwise..."

The maid nodded timidly.

When she arrived in front of Cui'er, Cui'er was waiting in the dark. When she handed the medicine stove to Cui'er, she found the scars under Cui'er's fingernails and cried out in shock, "Sister Cui'er, how come you are so seriously injured?"

Cui Er covered up and said, "I was hurt accidentally. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, if the Concubine or the Prince finds out, we will both be in trouble. We are servants in the palace, so we must understand our status and be careful in our conduct."

"I clearly...I clearly understand..." How could the maid dare to say anything else? She was stunned by the blood on her fingers. No one in this mansion was kind-hearted. Even Aunt Cui was a coward who relied on others for power. Now there was a concubine who was even more cruel. She trembled, not knowing when she could get through this, and even more not knowing when a reasonable person would come to the mansion to lead them out of this pit of hell.

But... this is the palace, I can only think about it.

The maid sighed again and said, "Aunt Cui ordered me to go with you and watch the Concubine drink the medicine to prevent it from affecting her health. She wants her to get pregnant as soon as possible."

Cui'er nodded, and the maid followed her into Qi Didi's room. Qi Didi looked a little disheveled at the moment. After realizing someone had come in, she put away her shambles and watched Cui'er approaching step by step with the medicine. She wanted to overturn the medicine bowl, but when she noticed there was another maid behind her, she withdrew her hand and asked, "Who sent you?"

After a change of mind, he asked in surprise, "Is it the prince?"

The maid bowed her head and replied, "The old princess ordered me to come and watch the side princess drink medicine because I heard that the side princess was ill and was worried that you would be hurt. The old princess also hopes that you will conceive a child soon."

There was no trace of joy on Qi Didi's face, only sadness.

"Hehehe... Now I need someone to watch me even when I take medicine?" Her hatred grew even stronger. She touched her belly. She wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible, but... this damn Gu Shicheng... She transferred all her hatred towards Gu Shicheng to Helan Xuenuo.

It’s all Helan Xuenuo’s fault. She was the one who sowed discord. If it weren’t for her, how could she and Gu Shicheng have come to this point?
