Children of Loulan

Chapter 335 Odor

Bayer, who was standing by, stepped forward, bowed respectfully and reported: "Your Highness, these two are rogues from the slums. Today, they were so bold that they tried to harm the Crown Princess. After I beat them up, they did not repent, but gathered a group of hooligans to openly surround the Crown Princess. Fortunately, Ziya led his men to arrive in time and successfully captured the two villains in one fell swoop!"

When the two hooligans heard the people around them respectfully addressing the person in front of them as "Prince", they were immediately frightened and their legs became weak, almost collapsing to the ground. One of them was so terrified that he felt a warm liquid flowing uncontrollably down his legs.

At first, they thought the visitor was just an ordinary prince, and they were thinking about how to beg for mercy, maybe they could have a chance of survival. But now they knew that they had almost hurt the most noble Crown Princess, and their lives were in danger.

After hearing what Baier said, Keremu's face darkened instantly, as if a storm was coming. He glared at Ziya and shouted, "How dare you murder the Crown Princess? Such a treasonous act, why don't you just kill him in the street? Instead, you bring this criminal back to the palace. What's the reason?"

When Ziya heard the master's rebuke, his heart tightened and he immediately knelt on one knee to apologize: "It is my fault, please punish me, Your Highness!"

Keremu snorted coldly and said in a cold tone: "Since you know that you have made a mistake, then go and accept the punishment of twenty boards! In addition, there is the Huimin Hall of the Crown Princess in the slums. She will often go there to inspect the situation in the future. Therefore, you should know how to deal with the ruffians in that area, right?"

Ziya nodded and said, "Yes, I understand! I will definitely increase patrols and supervision around the slums, bring all the hooligans to justice, and never let them have the chance to harm the Crown Princess in the slightest!"

After Keremu finished explaining everything, he gently took Hanguli's hand and walked into the palace together. Ziya, who stayed behind, turned around with a serious expression and said to the guards behind him: "Take these two daring guys to the mass grave and deal with them thoroughly. Don't leave any hidden dangers!" After that, the guards escorted the two gangsters away quickly like wolves and tigers.

Hanguli carefully looked back and confirmed that no one else was following her. She breathed a sigh of relief, then she opened her red lips and said slowly, "Your Highness, today is really thanks to Ziya. If it weren't for him, the consequences would be disastrous. Why do you still want to punish him? In my opinion, he brought those two people back because he wanted to interrogate them thoroughly to find out the whole story."

Kere held Hanguli's soft little hand tightly, looked at her firmly and seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Li'er, you are the Crown Princess, and your status is so noble. You almost encountered danger when you went out this time. Although it was not Ziya's fault, we can't just let it go."

"If we turn a blind eye to such things, how can the guards who are responsible for protecting our safety perform their duties wholeheartedly in the future? Won't they become more lax and lazy? Therefore, we must give them a warning, let them know what the rules are, who is the real master, and how great the responsibility they shoulder is! Only in this way can we ensure that when similar things happen in the future, they can ensure your and my safety in the first place."

Although Hanguli thought that what he said made sense, she couldn't help feeling guilty when she thought of Ziya being punished for no reason: "But Ziya..." The words came to her lips, but she didn't know how to continue.

Keshuishui was such a smart man that he could naturally see through what Hanguli was thinking. So he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and comforted her: "Li'er, you can relax. Ziya will definitely be fine. At most, he will suffer some physical pain. It may look a little scary, but in fact, it is not serious. When the time comes, you can send someone to send him some high-quality medicine for wounds."

Hearing Keremu's assurance, Hanguli nodded slightly to show her approval. She knew very well that this act of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was inevitable and could not be changed. Then, Keremu gently took Hanguli's hand and returned to Cuihua Court together.

At this time, Dar had already prepared a sumptuous meal. As soon as he saw them coming back, Dar quickly put all the dishes on the table. However, just as Hanguli sat down, she suddenly smelled a strange smell. This smell seemed familiar. She vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the unique smell of some medicinal herbs, but she couldn't remember what kind of medicinal herbs it was.

Just as Hanguli was frowning in deep thought, Keshuishui considerately picked up a piece of fresh and tender fish meat and gently put it into the bowl in front of her, and asked with concern: "Li'er, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it."

She was still confused and had no idea what the strange smell that was looming and lingering in her nose was. However, at the moment when Keremu smiled and gently put the tender fish meat into her bowl, it was like a flash of lightning passing through her mind, and she instantly realized that the smell became stronger and more pungent!

She involuntarily stretched out her chopsticks, carefully picked up the piece of fish meat that exuded a strange smell, and slowly brought it close to her nose. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and everything around her became blurred, only the increasingly strong smell filled her sensory world.

Seeing her so focused on smelling the fish, Keremu couldn't help but feel playful and was about to tease her: "Didn't you realize that our Crown Princess would savor the aroma of fish like appreciating fine wine before eating it?" But who would have expected that before his words were completely out of his mouth, the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded - he saw that Hanguli's originally beautiful face was suddenly shrouded in extreme fear, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. Her hand trembled, and she dropped the chopsticks in her hand to the ground, and the piece of fish fell to the ground with it. The whole person retreated quickly as if she had been electrocuted!

At this moment, there was nothing behind Hanguli, no shelter to lean on, and no one in sight. She was about to fall to the ground because of losing balance. Fortunately, Keremu was sitting next to her. He was quick-witted and stepped forward. He quickly grabbed Hanguli's slender waist and shouted anxiously: "Li'er, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Hanguli's sudden and unusual behavior not only frightened Keremu, but also frightened Dar who was sitting next to her. She keenly realized that the matter might be related to the plate of fish, so she stood up quickly and asked with concern: "Crown Princess, is there something wrong with the fish?"
