Children of Loulan

Chapter 425 Visiting the patient

However, Muzepal seemed not to hear it, and responded loudly without turning his head: "I just want to wake her up. Her second brother is back, but this guy is still sleeping in. It's really outrageous!"

Hanguli shook her head helplessly and was about to say something when Keremu, who had been standing by and watching the conversation between the mother and son, slowly came over. He smiled and comforted her softly, "Forget it, forget it, let him be. In my opinion, this boy must have brought back some new and interesting toys for his sister, and he is itching to tease her. We should not interfere in their brother-sister affairs!"

The next morning, the morning light shone through the window onto Hanguli's delicate face. She got up early, put on a simple and elegant dress, and took her lovely children to visit the Queen Mother's bedroom.

As soon as they stepped into the Queen Mother's bedroom, a strong and pungent smell of medicine instantly hit their noses. This smell permeated the air, as if the entire palace was shrouded in pain.

Hanguli led the children in carefully, and after they finished their greetings, she slowly moved to the bedside. At this time, the queen mother was lying quietly on the bed, her face was as pale as paper, and her originally round face became extremely thin due to the torture of illness. Seeing the queen mother so haggard and weak, Hanguli's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was unbearable.

"Grandma Wang, how are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Hanguli asked softly, her eyes full of concern and worry.

When the Queen Mother heard Hanguli's greeting, her eyes first fell on Hanguli, and then turned to her great-grandchildren who were standing by with anxious faces. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, trying to force a smile, but because of her weak body, the smile looked particularly bitter and weak.

"You all come to visit me... In the blink of an eye, you children are almost grown up!" The Queen Mother said slowly in a slightly hoarse voice, her words revealing her emotion about the passing of time and her satisfaction with the growth of the younger generations.

However, then, the Queen Mother sighed softly: "Alas... I am really old now! Even such a small illness cannot be cured for a long time. Maybe God wants me to leave this world as soon as possible..." At this point, a trace of loneliness and helplessness flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.

Hanguli quickly held the Queen Mother's hand and comforted her softly, "Grandmother, please don't say that! You will definitely live a long life! It's just that the weather hasn't warmed up yet. When the temperature rises in a few days, I believe your condition will gradually improve!"

At this moment, Muzepal, who was standing aside, hurriedly agreed: "That's right, Great-Grandma Wang, you will definitely recover soon! You know, I am your great-grandson and I have been looking forward to you personally granting me the honor of being the top martial arts champion in the future!" After saying that, his eyes were full of expectation and longing.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile and responded softly: "Haha, what a well-behaved, sensible and ambitious child! Then your great-grandmother will be waiting for the day when you become successful!" Her words revealed her love and admiration for this great-grandson.

At this time, Hawuer walked into the bedroom carefully carrying a bowl of steaming medicine. When he saw several people in the room, he couldn't help but feel happy and asked quickly: "Mother, second brother and third sister, why are you all here?"

The little girl called the third sister was Patihan. She walked forward lightly, took the bowl of medicine from her eldest brother, and replied softly: "Brother, we heard that Wang Great-grandmother was ill, and we were very worried about you, so we hurried to visit you. We hope that Wang Great-grandmother can recover soon and regain her former health and vitality." After that, she turned her head and looked at the queen mother on the bed, her eyes full of concern.

Hanguli carefully picked up the porcelain bowl with a strong medicinal aroma on the tray in her daughter's hand and blew gently on the steaming medicine. At this time, the queen mother, who was sitting on the couch, was looking at these energetic young people in front of her with a kind face, and her heart was full of satisfaction.

She nodded slightly and said slowly, "You three brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. You must have a lot to say to each other when you meet again. Go ahead, don't be so reserved here."

However, after hearing this, the three did not move, but just stood there quietly. At this time, Hanguli smiled and said softly: "Go quickly, I'll take care of it here, don't worry." After hearing what their mother said, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other and slowly left the room.

The Queen Mother looked at their departing figures with a satisfied smile on her face, and whispered softly, "You have taught them so well. One is good at writing, and the other is obsessed with martial arts and is determined to fight on the battlefield. Given time, they will surely be brothers and sisters, and there will never be any situation where the brothers turn against each other or kill each other. In this way, I can rest assured."

Hanguli couldn't help but smile when she heard the Queen Mother's words, and responded modestly: "All this is thanks to you, Grandmother Wang! If it weren't for your careful teaching of Hawule, how could he have grown into such an outstanding person today?"

The Queen Mother sighed softly, and that sigh seemed to carry the vicissitudes of time and endless worries: "Alas... I know it very well in my heart. Over the years, the Crown Prince has only had you, the principal wife, by his side in the East Palace. The Queen is quite dissatisfied with you. She summons you over every now and then and scolds you severely. However, you must not take it to heart." As the Queen Mother said this, she looked at Hanguli with a kind look to comfort her.

Hanguli nodded slightly and responded softly: "My granddaughter-in-law understands, Grandmother. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want to take a concubine, no matter what the Queen Mother says, I will never take it to heart!" Her eyes were firm and clear, revealing her inner persistence and calmness.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, a gratified smile on her face: "Well, that's good. You know, if there weren't those concubines vying for favor in the palace, and there weren't those illegitimate sons messing things up, there would naturally be fewer conspiracies and plots in the future."

"Moreover, there will not be a situation where brothers turn against each other and kill each other for the throne. The queen just can't understand such a simple and clear truth! Let's not talk about other people, just talk about our current king. He has many concubines, but not many children. Isn't it because countless children died innocently before they were born because of those insidious and cunning conspiracies and tricks?" At this point, the queen mother could not help but shook her head, with a trace of regret in her eyes.

Hanguli comforted her softly, "Okay, Grandmother Wang, those things are in the past, let them blow away with the wind. The most important thing now is that you can rest assured and take care of your health. Only in this way can we all truly feel at ease." Before she finished speaking, Hanguli had picked up a bowl of steaming medicine, carefully scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to the Queen Mother's mouth.
