Children of Loulan

Chapter 251 I have a clear conscience

Hanguli was very moved by the prince's words, but she was worried that the prince's move would bring him trouble, so she politely refused: "Thank you for your kindness, your Highness. There is a palace doctor in this palace, and I am not in need of one. I already know a lot about the pharmacology of medicinal herbs. As for whether I can take the pulse or not, it is really not important!"

At the same time, seeing that the two were concentrating on their conversation, Dale subconsciously picked up her embroidery basket and stepped aside. She had just stepped back two steps when she saw Baixi waving at her from a distance. Dale walked over curiously and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Bai Xi looked at Daer anxiously and answered in a low voice, "Is there any food left? The prince hasn't eaten yet!"

Dal nodded quickly and comforted her, "Yes, the princess left some for me. It's being warmed on the stove. I'll get it right away!" After that, she placed the embroidery basket in Baixi's arms and turned to go to the kitchen!

After taking the embroidery basket, Bai Xi looked at Ziya who was standing beside her with a sad face and asked, "What's wrong with you? You look so depressed. You didn't even notice the prince came in just now."

Ziya looked up at the sky, sighed with lifeless eyes, "Oh, I am so worried!"

Bai Xi looked around curiously, then asked in confusion: "What are you worried about? Oh, where's Bayer? Why don't I see her? Aren't you going to teach her martial arts?"

Upon hearing the word "Baier", Ziya suddenly came back to her senses, and said with hatred in her eyes: "Don't mention that ungrateful woman to me! In order to improve her martial arts, I almost gave her all my monthly salary and my sincerity, but she turned around and tried to curry favor with that captain, saying that he was a hero and had done a lot for Loulan..."

When she said this, Ziya's voice choked up, her eyes reddened, as if she was about to cry: "In order to coax her to practice martial arts, I coaxed her in various ways every day, bought her so many snacks and gadgets, my money, that is my future wife, I spent it all on her, and she is still not satisfied!"

After listening to him, Bai Xi asked curiously, "Are you saying that Bayer went to take care of Captain Mo?"

Ziya: "That's right, she's here to deliver medicine and food. There are so many servants in the palace, why does she have to go in person?" He said with a trace of resentment on his face, "Captain Mo has only been here for a few days, and Bayer has no time to practice martial arts. He runs over to see him from time to time!"

Seeing his resentful look, Bai Xi wanted to comfort him, but at this moment Dal came in with two maids carrying food. Bai Xi immediately left Ziya, who was alone and worried, and quickly walked over to take the tray from Dal's hand, "Give it to me!" Then he walked into the house with the food.

At this time, Keremu in the room was still persuading Hanguli not to give up her hobby and to continue studying medicine. Hanguli was moved, but did not want to waste the prince's kindness, so she had to say that if she had the chance, she would study hard!

Seeing that she agreed, Keremu was overjoyed and immediately began to plan in his mind to find a suitable master for her.

Bai Xi watched all this silently. He couldn't help but feel envious when he saw the princess carefully serving the dishes to the prince. At the same time, he thought of Ziya who was still alone in the courtyard, and made up his mind: "I must confess to Dar, I can't delay any longer! Otherwise, Ziya today may be me tomorrow." Thinking of this, his eyes became firm and persistent.

At the same time, Aidil led a small group of people to travel day and night. After several days of traveling, they finally arrived at Liancheng, the border between Loulan and Tang Dynasty. The main city commander of Liancheng, General Alikuti, learned that Prince Xin was coming and personally led everyone to the city gate to welcome him. However, they did not know what the purpose of Prince Xin's visit was.

There were waves of horse hoofbeats coming from afar, the sound was getting louder and louder, as if they were about to break the ground. Everyone focused their eyes on the distance, and saw a team gradually appearing. They were advancing in an orderly manner, with great momentum.

The team was getting closer and closer to the city gate, and everyone stood respectfully at the gate waiting. With a sharp "whoosh...", all the horses stopped in time and stood firmly in place. The two leading knights quickly turned over and dismounted, their movements were agile and graceful.

As soon as they stood firm, they saw the people waiting at the city gate kneeling down and bowing respectfully: "Your subordinates pay their respects to His Majesty Prince Xin!"

Aidil stepped forward, personally helped General Alikuti up, and said with a smile: "General, please stop being polite!"

Elikuti replied gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he turned to the crowd and said gently, "Everyone, please stand up!"

Everyone responded in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness!" Then they slowly stood up and straightened their clothes.

Ali Kuti looked at Aidier and said with concern: "Your Highness must be very tired from traveling day and night. Why don't you go to the General's Mansion to rest for a while, and then hold a grand welcoming banquet for Your Highness in the evening?"

Aidil nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will follow the general's arrangements!"

The group slowly walked towards the city again. Everyone had a different expression on their face. Some looked serious, while others looked a little worried. And among this group of people, everyone had different thoughts. They were all guessing what the purpose of this prince's visit was.

Because what happened in the capital was too sudden, and Aidil hurriedly set out to Liancheng the next day, the news about the fake stone and fake wood had not yet been passed on. Therefore, when they received the news that Prince Xin was coming here, everyone was discussing and speculating.

After all, as a defender of a city, he would basically spend his whole life here, or die on the battlefield. And now, the court suddenly sent people here, which made people have to think about the reason.

Generally speaking, there are several possibilities: First, the commander here did something that was against the will of heaven and earth and offended the court, and was reported by someone, so the court sent someone to investigate secretly; second, the court did not trust the commander here, so it sent someone to supervise and inspect; third, the court had solid evidence to prove that the commander had committed a crime, so it sent someone to execute him secretly. But no matter which case, the person sent was at most a second-rank official, but this time it was a prince, a prince!

Faced with such a situation, everyone was filled with anxiety and doubt. They also discussed with General Elikuti privately how to deal with it, but no matter how they discussed, they could not come up with a good solution. On the contrary, they quarreled because of their disagreement!

With a wave of his hand, Elikuti stopped the quarrel and warned them not to discuss further. He believed that he had a clear conscience and was worthy of heaven and earth, whether he was above or below. He firmly believed that he was a man who stood tall and upright and would not be afraid of anyone's arrival.

Even if the prince or even the king came in person, he would have enough confidence to say that he was a real man. In fact, he did not fear. Not only did he properly arrange for Edir's accommodation and rest, but he also held a low-key and simple welcoming banquet in the evening. The banquet was not large in scale, with only a few important officials from Liancheng attending, and there were no grand singing and dancing performances to liven up the atmosphere.
