Children of Loulan

Chapter 492 Dragon Robe

In fact, when the regent first saw Maihemuti wearing the well-tailored dragon robe, he had a strong doubt in his heart. You know, as a king's dragon robe, its production specifications and complex craftsmanship are not comparable to ordinary clothes.

Even if all the embroiderers in the palace were mobilized to work day and night, it would probably take half a month to barely complete the production of a dragon robe. However, this is only the fastest speed in theory. In reality, since the production of dragon robes requires extremely high skills and patience, coupled with various tedious processes, it often takes longer to actually complete a dragon robe.

More importantly, not all embroiderers in the palace are qualified to touch the dragon robe. Only the top embroiderers with the most exquisite skills are the royal embroiderers who serve the king. The process of making a dragon robe requires a lot of time and energy.

Normally, it would take several imperial embroiderers about half a year to complete the production of a dragon robe. In addition to embroidering the exquisite golden five-claw dragon pattern on the dragon robe, the colorful robes needed to be dyed six times, and each dyeing process took three days. In addition, there were a series of complex processes such as weaving, cutting, and making, and every link could not be sloppy.

Therefore, when the regent saw the dragon robe on Maihemuti, he immediately realized that the production of this dragon robe must have taken more than half a month. It seems that the production of Maihemuti's dragon robe may have started as early as last year.

However, just as he was still immersed in his own thoughts and had not yet come to his senses, Xilin suddenly shouted angrily: "Keremu, stop talking nonsense! The dragon robe my son is wearing is obviously the king's! It's just that because of time constraints, the embroiderers in the palace worked day and night to modify the size. Since the coronation ceremony is going to be held, how can there be no dragon robe? Time is short and there is no time to make new clothes. We can only use the king's dragon robe first. What's wrong with this?"

Upon hearing this, Keremu's face darkened and he retorted, "My mother, do you think everyone is a fool? Is this dragon robe a new one tailored for me, or is it made from my father's old robe? Do you think everyone is blind?"

Seeing Xilin's anxious face and the guards under the altar all standing on edge, the regent couldn't help but sigh softly, "Brother, look at the situation in front of you. Is it still important whether the dragon robe is new or old? You are already surrounded. Let's talk it out!"

Keremu sneered and said sarcastically, "How can it not be important? This dragon robe is the key evidence! If it was specially tailored for my sixth brother, it means that the poison in my father was not caused by me, but was planned by the mother and son to frame me!"

Seeing Keremu's determination, Xilin's heart sank, but she still asked again unwillingly: "Are you really not willing to give up?"

Keremu's eyes were firm and cold. He answered without hesitation: "My dear mother, please stop wasting your energy. Since I came here today, I am ready to face death."

Seeing this, Xilin knew that persuasion was useless. Her face became even gloomier and she gritted her teeth and said, "Well, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being cruel! Someone, bring them all up to me!"

As she finished speaking, footsteps were heard, and several fully armed imperial guards quickly walked out of the crowd. They held ropes tightly in their hands, and at the other end of the ropes were several people who were tied up.

When everyone looked closely, they found that the people being escorted up were the queen, Hawul, Muzepal and Parti Khan!

Keremu's face was full of astonishment, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he shouted loudly: "Mother!" This shout was like thunder exploding in everyone's ears.

At this time, the tied-up people also noticed Keremu's arrival. They seemed to have grasped the last straw and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Father!"

When the queen saw Keremu, she was so excited that she trembled all over. Her lips were shaking and she wanted to say something, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Xilin.

"Shut up!" Xilin roared viciously. Her voice was full of hostility, which made people shudder.

The queen's words were forced back, her face turned pale as paper, and her eyes revealed despair and helplessness.

Seeing this, Xilin showed a smug smile on her face. She grabbed a knife from a guard beside her and put it on the queen's neck without hesitation.

The sharp blade pressed against the queen's skin, and with just a little force, it could easily cut her throat.

Xilin raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at Keremu provocatively, and sneered: "Keremu, think about it carefully, this is your biological mother, and your three children. So, do you plan to let them be buried with you today?"

Facing Xilin's crazy behavior, the regent couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He quickly walked to Xilin's side and whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, you must not do this! After all, she is the queen, and all the civil and military officials present are watching. If you hurt her, it will be very detrimental to my sixth brother's ascension to the throne!"

Xilin stared at him with eyes wide open, her face full of anger. She lowered her voice and shouted angrily: "Shut up! His life is in the hands of others now. If you don't rescue him first, how can you talk about ascending the throne!"

However, before she finished her words, a minister stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, even if His Royal Highness made a mistake, you should not treat the Queen like this! After all, no matter who ascends the throne, she is the Queen Mother! Besides, is what His Royal Highness said true? Was the dragon robe for the Sixth Prince really prepared a long time ago?"

These words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, causing everyone present to talk about it. Seeing this, Xilin became even more angry. She said sternly: "How dare you! How dare you question me! Come on, take him down for me!"

Following her order, two fierce imperial guards rushed over and grabbed the minister who was speaking like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food. The minister was frightened by the sudden change and turned pale. He trembled all over, but he still tried to remain calm and shouted: "Your Majesty, if you don't tell the truth, even if you arrest me, you can't stop the gossips!"

At this time, another minister saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, clasping his hands and saying, "What exactly is the purpose of your Majesty's action? Why are you detaining an official in public?"

Xilin snorted coldly, a cunning flashed in her eyes, and she said sternly: "Humph! He is an accomplice of the rebellious Nakremu. Can't you see that? Are you also in the same group with them?"

After hearing this, he suddenly felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction and anger in his heart. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he suddenly felt as if a hand gently pulled his sleeve. He turned his head suddenly and was surprised to find that the person standing behind him was Doctor Zhengyi!
