Children of Loulan

Chapter 171 Another Imperial Edict

At that time, he still thought that the national teacher didn't help him sincerely. After all, even if the plaque was changed, what about the teardrop mole? It was agreed that there would be a teardrop mole on his face. He always thought that the national teacher was lying to him, but he didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in the world!

Hanguli saw the second prince Edir's series of actions, first calm, then surprised, and finally a bitter smile. Yes, today she went to the palace to thank the queen and the queen mother for their gifts! But she didn't expect to meet him here, so she pretended not to see him and walked past him directly!

After she entered the palace to thank the Queen Mother and the Queen, she asked people to prepare return gifts for other concubines who had sent gifts. Because there were too many people, she did not thank them one by one in person. She only met with some of them, and for the rest, she had people send return gifts directly and express her apologies.

At this moment, she was sitting in the carriage returning to Prince Xuan's Mansion, looking out the window with empty eyes, and the faces of the people she met when she entered the palace today and what they said kept appearing in her mind.

Dale, who was standing by, was very worried as he saw her being silent. She knew something must have happened today, but the carriage and the driver were all from the Xuanwang Mansion, so it was not the time to talk about it.

When the carriage finally arrived at the palace, Dar quickly took Hanguli into the Cuihua Courtyard and ordered: "The princess is a little tired from coming to the palace to express gratitude today. You all should go out first and don't disturb the princess's rest!"

Several servants immediately responded, "Yes!" They put down their work, bowed respectfully and retreated.

After all the servants and the coachman left, Dahl immediately closed the door and asked Bayer to stand by the door and listen carefully to the movements outside to prevent anyone from eavesdropping secretly.

After completing these preparations, Dal walked quickly to Hanguli and asked with a worried look on his face: "Miss, what happened today?" Although she was always with the young lady, she was always sent away when the young lady met with several concubines.

Hanguli sighed and then slowly said, "Dar, do you still remember the Lancai people from the past?"

Dar was slightly stunned when he heard Hanguli's words, then nodded and said: "Of course I remember, when you were in a coma, she saved me and my sister, and for this her maid was beaten with a stick!"

Hanguli nodded after hearing Dal's answer, and then continued, "She told me today that it was she who discovered that the Second Prince and Xilin were having an affair, and it was she who discovered that the Second Prince was colluding with the Imperial Master to choose Xilin to enter the Xuanwang Palace to bring good luck to the Xuanwang, so that the Second Prince could be with Xilin for a long time, because the Second Prince felt that the Xuanwang would not live long. At the same time, she revealed this news to the Queen, and instructed the Queen to choose me to replace Xilin to bring good luck to the Xuanwang!"

Dar listened to Hanguli's words with a look of shock on her face. She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief: "Ah? What? It's her? Why?"

Hanguli looked at Dal's expression, smiled slightly, and then explained: "She said that three years ago I told her to remember Concubine Ru's kindness and not to blindly follow the trend to choose a queen. She listened to me and chose Concubine Ru. Later, when she was hesitating whether she was wrong to choose Concubine Ru, she suddenly found that Concubine Ru not only reminded her to serve the king, but also reminded several other people. Among them, two of them did not hesitate at all when faced with the choice and directly chose the queen. However, not long after they joined the queen, they died. At that time, she suddenly realized that Concubine Ru was not a good person, and that Concubine Ru was very accurate in calculating every step she took every day in the palace. So she said that if I hadn't instructed her at the beginning, she wouldn't be alive today!"

Dar suddenly realized: "So, when she learned about this plan, she thought of you first, because your life in the palace is not easy, and you can only be trapped in Yuexiju for the rest of your life. If you leave Yuexiju, Concubine Xian will be the first to take your life? That's why she dragged you into this conspiracy!"

At this moment, Hanguli's eyes were filled with tears. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yes, she said that if I could leave the palace, those people would not be able to harm me anymore. Moreover, if I became the principal wife of King Xuan, I would not have to compromise for a living and could live well. She said that she would always remember my kindness!"

At this point, Hanguli finally couldn't hold back her tears, and she held Dal's hand tightly, as if she wanted to grasp the last ray of hope. Dal hugged her distressedly and comforted her softly: "Miss, I also remember her kindness. It was she who begged for mercy for me and my sister in front of the king!"

Hanguli nodded gently, her vision blurred by tears, but she still tried to keep herself awake: "But...but who is Concubine Ru? She can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, but she tried to deal with Concubine Ru for me. I'm really afraid that she will be discovered by Concubine Ru if she is not careful! By then, I can live well, but she doesn't know what Concubine Ru will do to her!"

Dar comforted her, "No, miss, don't worry too much. She is already a beauty and has given birth to a princess. I believe Concubine Ru will have some trust in her. Besides, we have not had any contact with her over the years. Even if Concubine Ru has some suspicions, it will be difficult for her to find out anything. So you don't have to worry too much."

After hearing what Dar said, Hanguli's mood gradually calmed down and her tears stopped flowing. She sighed deeply, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. She never thought that her careless reminder at the beginning would allow her to escape from the cage of the palace today!

After returning to his house, Adil sat in his study, still expressionless and deep in thought. His eyes were empty, as if the whole world had lost its color. Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. The housekeeper came in and reported that he had found some information about the woman. Adil raised his hand to signal the housekeeper to continue.

The butler reported the results of the investigation in detail, but Aidil did not show much surprise or excitement. When the butler finished speaking, Aidil just waved his hand lightly, and the butler bowed and left the room. Aidil fell into deep thought again.

According to the information currently available, the woman named Hanguli seems to be a pawn in the hands of others, just to destroy their plans. But who is it? Edir carefully sorted out the possible suspects in his mind. Finally, one person emerged in his mind - the queen.

Aidil thought that no one except the queen had enough motivation and ability to interfere with their plan. He began to think about how to deal with this situation. Just as he was thinking hard, the butler came in again and told him that the eunuch had come to the palace to deliver the decree. Aidil felt relieved for a moment, because he knew what this decree meant.

After the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, Aider did not show much surprise on his face. He just listened calmly. He wanted to invite the eunuch to come into the palace for a cup of tea to express his gratitude and respect.

However, the eunuch showed a gentle expression but rejected Aider's invitation: "Your Highness Prince Xin, you are too polite. But I am entrusted with another imperial edict to read, and time is tight, so I dare not delay too long." After saying that, he turned around and left.
