Children of Loulan

Chapter 240 Wasted Man

Mo Ming asked in confusion: "Investigate together? What about West City? What should we do with West City? It has been shut down for a month!"

Ankar replied with a serious face: "I will be in charge of West City for the time being, and I will set off immediately!"

Hearing this news, Mo Ming finally felt relieved. He knew General An's ability and believed that he could handle the affairs of West City. So, Mo Ming said with emotion: "With General An in charge, I feel much more at ease!"

However, Ankar immediately said: "After I leave, it will not be suitable for you to recuperate in the general's mansion!" This sentence surprised Mo Ming a little, but he quickly understood the reason behind it.

Mo Ming nodded to show his understanding: "Yes, when you are not here, the general's mansion is left with only your family." The implication is that if someone else attempts to assassinate, the entire general's mansion will be implicated.

Ankar knew that he had misunderstood his meaning, and explained: "They are indeed very important to me, and you are even more important to the entire Loulan, so the General's Mansion can't protect your safety!"

Mo Ming nodded. In fact, he also felt that Ankar was right, but he had no relatives or friends in the capital, and he really had nowhere to go. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If possible, maybe the Heavenly Prison is a good place!"

Hearing this, Ankar quickly shook his head and refused, "No, the prison is full of mixed people, and it is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes. It is not a safe place for you. Moreover, I think that since King Xuan already knows about this, he will definitely arrange a good place for you!"

After hearing this, Mo Ming's heart moved, but he was a little hesitant, "Prince..." After all, he had spent three years with the prince, and he knew that the prince was an upright man and would not sit idly by.

However, the prince is still injured, so it is not appropriate to waste any more energy on him. Thinking of this, Mo Ming couldn't help but said worriedly: "But the prince's injury has not healed yet!"

Since Prince Xuan returned to the capital, everything that had happened, including his marriage and awakening, had been announced to the world. Therefore, Mo Ming did not want to cause trouble for the prince at this moment.

At the same time, in Prince Xuan's Mansion, after they had finished their meal, Hanguli took Dal and Baixi away, because she knew that Prince Cheng and the prince were going to discuss something very important and it was not appropriate for her to be there. Bayer was left behind because she had very good hearing, and if anyone wanted to come and eavesdrop, they would definitely be discovered by Bayer.

After she returned to Cuihuating, she found that Baixi seemed to always peek at Dale intentionally or unintentionally. She understood and raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously, "I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while. Dale, help me back to the room!"

Dahl bowed respectfully, "Yes!"

When Hanguli walked towards the room, she glanced at Baixi, who had a sad face. She knew that Baixi had listened to the prince's words!

At this moment, Bai Xi frowned, looking melancholy. He thought of the words of the prince just now, "It's better to talk about it sooner!"

Should he confess his feelings to her? If he did, would she hate him even more? Or should he continue to protect her silently? But when he thought that Dale might have someone he liked, he felt uncomfortable. He didn't know what to do, so he could only think about it alone.

At this moment, Dale quietly walked out of the room and carefully closed the door. The moment Bai Xi saw her, his heartbeat began to speed up, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. There seemed to be two little voices arguing in his ears.

A voice said, "This is a rare opportunity! Go tell her you like her!"

But another voice retorted, "No, now is not the right time. This morning, she accidentally misunderstood you as a pervert. You should wait until she changes her opinion of you before you confess your feelings!"

The two voices kept arguing, one saying go, the other saying no, and it gave Bai Xi a splitting headache. Finally, he slapped his forehead hard and made up his mind. It was a knife in the end, whether he stuck his head out or hid his head, he might as well go for it! He resolutely strode towards Dahl.

Dahl looked at him walking towards him with a brave and courageous look, and he could not help but frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you want to do?"

Her question was like a needle piercing a balloon, and the momentum that Bai Xi had just accumulated disappeared instantly. He looked embarrassed and stammered, "Oh, um... um... is the princess asleep?"

Dahl nodded slightly and responded, "Yeah!" His voice was soft but firm.

Bai Xi seemed a little nervous and at a loss. He asked hesitantly, "Then...what can I do?" He looked at Dale with expectant eyes.

However, Dahl shook his head without hesitation and answered firmly: "No!"

When Bai Xi heard this ruthless rejection, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he didn't give up. His eyes fell on the clothes in Dal's hands, and he said flatteringly: "You, you are going to wash clothes, otherwise, give it to me, I will wash it!" After that, he tried to reach out to take the clothes.

Dar was startled by his action, and quickly hugged the clothes tightly to his chest, frowned, and scolded him with a hint of reproach: "What are you doing? This is the princess's clothes, how can you, a grown man, wash it?"

Bai Xi then realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, it's... I was rude, I... I just wanted to help." There was an embarrassed and apologetic expression on his face, as if he realized his mistake.

"Okay, okay, I know you want to help, so just stay here and watch over the princess. She needs a cup of hot tea when she wakes up!"

Daer looked at Baixi's nervous expression and realized that he might feel guilty about what happened in the morning, so he asked him to stay here to watch over the princess, and emphasized that the princess needed a cup of hot tea when she woke up. In fact, this was just a reason she made up, hoping to alleviate Baixi's guilt.

Bai Xi stood there quietly, watching Dale walk further and further away until he completely disappeared from his sight. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful, blaming himself for not having the courage to speak his mind.

At the same time, Keremu had just finished listening to Batur's account of what happened in the court this morning. When he heard a certain plot, he slammed the table in anger and shouted, "It's so outrageous..." However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his chest tightly with his hands and coughed violently, "Cough cough cough, cough cough!"

Batuer saw that his face was red from coughing, and he was extremely anxious. He immediately went forward to support him and asked with concern: "Brother, how are you? Sit down quickly!"

Keremu continued to cough while letting Batur help him sit down. He gently waved his hand to Batur to show that he was fine. After he sat down, he felt that his breath was smoother and stopped coughing. Then he panted and took a sip of hot tea.

He said with a very depressed expression: "Ah! It's really useless, cough cough!"

Batur quickly comforted him: "Brother, why do you say that? Your injury has not healed yet. Once your injury is completely healed, you will be fine!"

However, Keremu waved his hands in despair and said, "It's no use. That arrow almost hit my heart. Although I've saved my life, I've become a cripple!"
