Children of Loulan

Chapter 279 It's not aimed at us mother and son

Seeing Mo Ming almost running away, Bayer couldn't help but find it funny. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Then she put the letter in her arms, turned around and entered the palace.

Since he found out about the Xicheng case, Aidier seemed to have lost his life goal. He was listless all day long. Apart from occasionally paying attention to Xilin's situation in the palace, he paid little attention to other things. Days passed like this, and Aidier became more and more depressed.

However, that night, Ah Cheng came running to report in a panic, saying that he and his wife had fallen into the water in the palace, and it was caused by human factors. Upon hearing this news, Aidil instantly became alert. He jumped up from his chair in shock, stared at Ah Cheng with wide eyes, and asked, "How is she now? Is her life in danger?"

Ah Cheng took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and replied: "The king has placed her in the Queen's Kunning Palace and invited the best imperial physician to treat her. No news has been released yet."

After hearing this, Aidil frowned and asked in confusion: "Father actually placed her in the queen's palace? Is there any problem with this?"

Ah Cheng nodded in agreement: "I think so too, and there is news that the person behind the scenes is the queen!"

After hearing this, Aidier immediately shook his head and denied it, "Impossible. If she was really the queen, my father would not have placed her in Kunning Palace. There must be some hidden secret that we don't know about."

Aidil's face turned gloomy, his heart filled with worry and anger. He immediately ordered Ah Cheng: "Go to the palace quickly to get information. Make sure to find out what her current condition is and who wants to harm her and her son. Is it that woman's doing?"

Ashen knew exactly who the woman Aider was talking about was. He responded without any hesitation, "Yes, I'll set off right away." After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.

However, at this moment, Aidil seemed to have thought of something important and spoke again: "Wait a minute, if it is really her doing, we will try to collect some evidence to accuse her, and then hand her over to our father for disposal!"

Hearing this, Asumi's face did not show the slightest surprise. Instead, he accepted the order respectfully: "Understood!" Then, he quickly disappeared into the dark night.

After Ah Cheng left, Aidier stood there blankly, staring into the distance, his heart filled with concern and worry for Xilin's safety. He was extremely anxious and wanted to rush to Xilin's side immediately, but reason told him not to act impulsively at this moment. After all, it was his father's harem matter, and as a son, he must not interfere rashly, otherwise it would only bring more trouble to Xilin.

The deep night sky was dotted with stars, and the moonlight shone through the window lattice onto the king. The king sat quietly beside Dalan's bed, gazing at her gently and attentively, as if time had frozen at this moment. At this moment, Aisan walked into the room gently, his steps light, for fear of disturbing the peaceful atmosphere between the king and Dalan.

Aisan came to the king, bowed respectfully, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, according to the location that the palace maid said, we have indeed found her parents and her brother."

The king nodded slightly, his eyes still on Dalan's face. He did not look up at Aisan, but asked indifferently: "Are they still alive?"

Aisan hesitated for a moment, then replied: "They were hidden in a cellar. No one had taken care of them since the last time the maid visited them. When our people found them, they were almost starving to death."

The king sneered, with a hint of contempt in his eyes: "Huh, this is indeed the method of the virtuous concubine." After that, he gently stroked Dalan's cheek, as if wanting to give her more warmth and comfort.

Then he asked, "Have you found out why Lan Meiren suddenly appeared at the scene of the incident yesterday?"

Aishan quickly replied: "According to Yamanashi, it seems that someone has asked Lan Meiren to go to the Imperial Garden, but Yamanashi doesn't know who asked her out."

The king sighed, frowning slightly, his heart filled with doubts and worries. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Well, tomorrow morning, let the virtuous concubine come to see me immediately. I want to ask her in person."

Aishan replied respectfully, "Yes." Then, he hesitated for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. You've worked hard all day. You should rest early."

The king was already used to Aisan's care. He nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then said, "Well, I understand. You should go to bed early."

Aishan quickly replied, "Yes, I'll take my leave now!" Then he turned and left. The king once again looked lovingly at Dalan who was still sleeping, then stood up and slowly walked towards the couch.

At this moment, Concubine Xian did not know that she was about to face a huge disaster. She was still drinking and having fun with Yumei in the palace, humming little songs, and she was in a particularly happy mood, as if she could replace the queen and ascend to the throne tomorrow. Concubine Ru was just as happy as her. Since she learned that the king had taken Dalan directly back to his bedroom, she knew that she had won the gamble this time.

Although she had heard rumors that the Queen had instigated this, she knew in her heart that this was just a cover to confuse everyone. In fact, the final consequences would only be borne by Concubine Xian.

Compared with the good mood of Concubine Xian and Concubine Lu, the queen was like an ant on a hot pot, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. It turned out that the queen had also heard the news that the palace maid identified her as the mastermind, which made her heart hang in her throat.

Since the king stripped her father of his power, her father passed away, and her family fell into decline, she has been left alone. If this matter is really framed by someone and she cannot prove her innocence, then the king will probably not look at her well and may even deprive her of her honor as queen. Once she loses her position as queen, her son's path to becoming the crown prince will become even more difficult!

The queen thought about it and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this must have been done by Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian had always coveted the position of crown prince and queen, and she must have wanted to get rid of her in advance, and then she would smoothly ascend to the position of queen, so that her son could become crown prince.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel hatred in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said to Mu Lian who was serving beside her: "Go to the Xuanwang Mansion and tell the prince that the virtuous concubine has taken action, and tell him to be more careful!"

In fact, the queen didn't care whether her position as queen was stable or not. She had been married to the king for more than 20 years and had long seen through his fickleness. Now the only thing she cared about was her son. She was afraid that if something happened to her, it would affect her son and his future. As long as her son could ascend to the throne of the crown prince, she would be willing to lose her position as queen.

After receiving the news from his mother, Keremu raised his lips slightly, chuckled, and said calmly: "Well, go, tell the queen not to worry too much and panic, this matter is not aimed at us mother and son."
