Children of Loulan

Chapter 221 Is the prince going to confess?

In this way, the two of them stared quietly at Hanguli gradually immersed in deep thought.

At this moment, Keremu walked into the room holding a tray. He first glanced at the other people in the room, then smiled and asked Hanguli: "You are awake, you must be hungry? Come here, here is a bowl of bird's nest porridge, come, eat it while it's hot!"

As he spoke, the prince gently placed the bowl of porridge on the table, and took the opportunity to signal Ziya, Baixi and others to leave with his eyes.

The two who received this message immediately understood that the prince was going to confess to the princess, so they spontaneously sent a secret signal to the two sisters, Dal and Baier. Then, the two sisters hurriedly followed Ziya and Baixi out of the room, and gently closed the door before leaving!

After leaving the room, Hanguli stared at Baixi closely, her eyes as sharp as a sword, as if to pierce his heart, and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me! What's the matter with that pendant?"

Bai Xi was startled by this sudden questioning. He looked at Hanguli in astonishment and stammered, "Ah? What...what pendant? What...what's going on?" As he spoke, he tried to hide his guilty conscience!

Seeing this, Dahl, who was standing nearby, snorted coldly and said sternly, "Stop playing dumb! I saw everything you two did just now! Tell the truth!"

Bai Xi was unable to conceal the truth any longer, and he secretly complained. He sighed helplessly, knowing that he could not conceal it any longer, so he slowly said, "Well, okay, the pendant was indeed carried by the prince. However, you still have to ask Ziya about what you found. After all, he was the one who always followed the prince." After saying that, he turned and looked at Ziya.

At the same time, Dar and Bayer also turned their heads to look over, but Dar's eyes were like two sharp knives, stabbing straight at Ziya. Feeling Dar's sharp gaze, Ziya couldn't help but shudder, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look him in the face.

He knew that they would know about this sooner or later, so he had to confess honestly: "Back then, I accompanied the prince to travel all over the country to collect precious medicinal herbs. And our first stop was Baiya Village. On the day we arrived, the prince accidentally bumped into a woman, and that woman was the current princess. However, because the situation was unclear at the time and the princess left in a hurry, the prince later recognized the wrong person and mistook the princess for Miss Ainur who needed to be replaced..."

Ziya recounted everything that happened that year in detail, including how the prince met Hanguli, how he picked up the pendant she dropped, how he mistook her identity due to misunderstanding, etc. As the story unfolded, everyone gradually understood the reason, and a complicated expression appeared on Dar's face.

"It was not until a few days ago that the princess wore the dress that the prince wore when he met her in the back garden. The prince then realized as if from a dream that he had recognized the wrong person for so many years!" Ziya said solemnly.

Dar frowned and asked, "Could it be that after the princess learned that Master Ku's family had been tragically wiped out, she went to the poplar tree in the back garden to commemorate the eldest lady?"

Ziya nodded silently to show his affirmation. At this time, Bayer suddenly interrupted and said, "So, the prince was hiding behind you that day, right? And I noticed someone spying nearby at that time, and that person must be the prince. But wasn't the prince seriously injured? How did he still have the strength to move freely?"

Seeing that the topic was gradually developing in a direction that was not favorable to the prince, Bai Xi secretly thought that it was not good. If they were allowed to continue the discussion, the prince's feigned serious injury would probably be exposed.

In a hurry, he took a step forward and explained hurriedly: "No, no, no, you misunderstood. He was indeed the only one there at the time. He saw the princess and went to tell the prince the news. After all, he went to Baiya Village with the prince that year, so he had seen the princess wearing that dress before!"

However, Bayer did not seem to believe this explanation. He immediately asked, "But as far as I know, when the concubine was escorted into the palace, it was the prince and Ziya who escorted her together. If that's the case, why didn't they recognize each other at the time? Is there some hidden story behind this?"

Dal stared at Bai Xi, who looked extremely nervous, and his mind couldn't help but emerge the scene in Yue Xiju in the past: At that time, in order to avoid the sinister plot of Concubine Xian, the young lady pretended to be unconscious for two whole months!

Then, Dahl's thoughts drifted back to the night two days ago when the prince sneaked into the young lady's boudoir under the cover of darkness, just to be able to lie beside her. Now, looking at Baixi's nervous expression, she suspected that the prince might also be pretending.

When he thought of these past events, Dal believed what Ziya said without a doubt and was about 70% sure.

At this moment, seeing Bayer opening his mouth to ask questions, while Baixi seemed to be a little hesitant and evasive in his words, Dahl quickly interrupted to help him out, saying, "Oh, Bayer, have you forgotten? Back then, all the women who participated in the talent show had to wear veils and were not allowed to show their true faces easily!"

Seeing this, Ziya on the side quickly echoed, "That's right! Even the princess was covering her face at that time, so who could have known who it was?"

Hearing this, Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I didn't know the truth at that time, otherwise the prince would be so heartbroken! It's not too late to know the truth now, everything is the best arrangement!" After saying that, a look of relief appeared on her face.

Ziya had a flattering smile on his face and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, not too early or too late, just right... hehehe..."

However, just as he chuckled twice, Bayer suddenly gave him a cold look that seemed to freeze him instantly. Ziya seemed to be cast under a spell of immobilization. The laughter in his throat stopped abruptly, and his whole body became stiff.

At this moment, Bai Xi saw Ziya's embarrassed and funny appearance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, but he quickly realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, trying to hide the smile on his face.

Dar, who was standing nearby, witnessed all this and couldn't help but feel a little compassion in her heart. She hurried out to smooth things over and persuaded Bayer, "Okay, Bayer, we are here to take care of the prince and princess, you should go and ask Ziya to teach you how to practice martial arts!"

Unexpectedly, Bayer replied without any gratitude: "I'm not going!" His tone was full of stubbornness and reluctance.

Dal frowned and continued to persuade: "Don't go? Do you really hope that the prince will drive him away? If he leaves, who can better protect the prince and the princess? Can you rely on your mediocre skills?" This question was like a sword piercing Bayer's heart, making her unable to refute for a while.
