Children of Loulan

Chapter 315 How Dare to Be Lazy

The so-called "father" who was so cruel and heartless never even looked at them from beginning to end, as if these two lives had nothing to do with him. After losing his mother and sister, he had been able to grow up with difficulty for many years relying on the protection of his grandmother.

But things did not go as planned. My grandmother passed away not long ago. As soon as she passed away, the vicious prime minister's wife could no longer hide her hideous face and could not wait to kill me. Fortunately, I have always been alert and prepared a response plan in advance, otherwise I would have died at the hands of that vicious woman.

At this point, there was no one in the huge Prime Minister's Mansion that could make him worry. In the past, he was filled with endless hatred, and for revenge, he did not hesitate to join forces with others, and step by step pushed the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was full of power in the court, into an abyss of no return.

When he finally walked out of the gloomy and damp cell, there was no relief or joy on his face. Instead, his deep eyes flashed with a chilling cold light. Then, he expressionlessly ordered his colleagues to deliver some rotten food to the people who were still trapped in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After doing all this, he slowly turned around and left this place full of sins and painful memories without looking back.

After returning to his humble residence, he quickly changed into a simple linen shirt, as if to say goodbye to his past life of luxury and comfort. Then, he mounted a horse, raised the whip, and galloped out of the city like an arrow.

He knew very well that the person who cooperated with him would never let him go easily. But he was not afraid, because he had made all the preparations before taking action. He had already hidden all the valuables in a hidden place outside the city, waiting to see the prime minister in person, and then take the money and flee far away, hiding his identity and living a quiet life.

Finally, the day of execution arrived. The entire execution ground was crowded with people and noisy. The onlookers surrounded the execution ground, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation. They shouted excitedly: "Kill them, kill them!" Some people even danced with excitement.

Many people in the crowd were holding incense, candles, and paper fires, quietly waiting for that moment to come. They wanted to use this way to pay tribute to the relatives who lost their lives due to the prime minister's evil deeds, hoping that their souls in heaven could rest in peace.

As the supervising officer shouted: "Behead!" All the executioners stepped forward, and with their knives slashed, hundreds of people's heads fell to the ground in an instant. The onlookers also cheered and shouted: "Good..."

Where some people are happy, others are sad and crying. They look up at the blue sky with tears on their faces and shout the names of their deceased relatives at the top of their lungs, as if they want to pour out all the pain and longing that have been pent up in their hearts for a long time.

"Dad! Open your eyes and take a look! The evil guy has finally been brought to justice! You can go with peace of mind now..."

"Son! Did you see that? All those bad guys who killed you have now received the punishment they deserve. Your soul in heaven can rest in peace..."

At the same time, in the inner courtyard of the palace, Xilin stood quietly, also staring at the high sky. At this time, Aunt Kui walked slowly towards Xilin with light steps. After approaching Xilin, she lowered her voice and spoke carefully: "Madam, the time has come. I think the punishment of those evil people should have been executed."

Before she finished speaking, tears quietly slid down Xilin's fair cheeks. She still stared at the sky, and murmured to herself in a very soft voice: "Mother, do you see? Those evil people who harmed you in the past are now dead. Your daughter has finally fulfilled her mission and avenged you."

Seeing this, Aunt Kui quickly reached out and gently supported the shaky Xilin, and her own eyes were red at this moment. She patted Xilin's back and comforted her softly, "Miss, don't be too sad. The old lady is in heaven and will definitely be able to see the suffering and hardships you have endured over the years. You have paid too much to avenge her, and she will definitely be very pleased!"

Xilin gently leaned her head against Aunt Kui's warm and generous arms, slightly closed her eyes, and said softly: "Aunt Kui, you will leave the palace in a while. Burn incense for my mother and tell her about my situation in the palace. Tell my mother to rest assured that her daughter is doing well here."

Aunt Kui gently stroked Xilin's hair, nodded lightly and replied: "Okay, young lady. I will go there later and will not let you down. But...but the master has been sentenced to exile now. I wonder what you think about this? Do you need me to take care of the relevant matters? After all, the master is your biological father..." At this point, Aunt Kui couldn't help but sigh softly, with a worried look on her face.

Xilin slowly opened her eyes after hearing this, frowned slightly, and said after thinking for a moment: "Of course I know about this. Even if my father made a big mistake, he is still my father after all. If I am too heartless in this matter, I am afraid that I will be criticized and labeled as unfilial. Well, then I will send him some silver, but not too much, just enough for him to barely survive!"

The next morning, heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky, covering the whole world with white. Keremu got up early as usual and went to the yard to practice swordsmanship. He was agile, the long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and every move contained great power and superb skills.

At this time, Dar carried a basket of charcoal and walked into the inner room. She opened the door of Hanguli's room carefully, fearing to wake up the sleeping princess. After entering the room, Dar gently walked to the charcoal basin and skillfully added some new charcoal to make the room warmer and more comfortable.

Hanguli was pregnant and easily tired, so she always liked to sleep a little longer. Therefore, she would sleep until the sun was high in the sky every day and then get up slowly. When Keremu came back to the house after practicing sword, he saw Dal still busy in the house, and couldn't help but laugh and joked: "Oh, it's only been a few days since you got married, and you get up so early, you are really diligent! In fact, you can come later in the future, Li'er gets up late anyway, so there is no need to be so anxious."

However, Dar did not agree with Keremu's words. She stopped what she was doing and answered seriously: "Your Highness is wrong. The princess is pregnant now and needs extra care. I should be more careful and thoughtful. How dare I be lazy? Thanks to your grace, I was able to rest for a few days before my wedding, but now I can't be idle anymore. If I develop a lazy habit and fail to serve the princess well in the future, it will be my fault!"

Keremu knew Dar's loyalty to Hanguli and was touched. So he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, put your things down first. The princess will probably need to sleep for a while, so don't tire yourself out. Come back later."
