Children of Loulan

Chapter 164 Memories

Ziya nodded suddenly, understanding what Keremu meant, and replied, "Yes, I understand."

Keremu continued to think for a while: "Is there any news about her?"

Ziya lowered his head and said cautiously: "Your Highness, there is no trace of it yet, but I have already sent people to the Tang Dynasty to look for it!"

Keremu seemed to have known the result long ago. He let out a long sigh, then waved his hand to signal Ziya to leave, and at the same time instructed: "Move this woman away tomorrow. Tell her that my injuries are too serious and it is not suitable for too many people to take care of me. Go!"

Ziya bowed again, saying he would obey, and then turned and left. Keremu was the only one left in the inner room, clenching his fists tightly, with anger and determination flashing in his eyes.

He stood quietly in front of the window, staring at the deep night outside. The moonlight shone through the clouds, illuminating the faint sadness on his face. His thoughts gradually drifted away, returning to the time more than three years ago.

At that time, Baicheng was suffering from a terrible plague. In order to avoid causing panic in the entire Loulan Kingdom, his father decided to block the city and keep the news strictly confidential. At the same time, his father also ordered him to travel around the country to find medicine and buy drugs.

He set out on his journey, and his first stop was Baiya Village. That day, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. When he walked into a cloth shop, he did not expect a figure to suddenly rush out. The two of them bumped into each other without warning, which surprised him for a moment.

However, when he raised his head and his eyes fell on the other person, he found that it was a young woman. Her face was flushed with shyness, her eyes were shrunken, and she didn't even dare to look him in the face.

After the two apologized to each other, the woman left in a hurry, leaving him in a daze. When he came to his senses, he asked the shop owner about the woman's identity, and the shop owner told him that she was the daughter of a wealthy family in their area, named Ainur!

Later, when he was leaving the cloth shop, he found a pendant at the door where they bumped into each other. He bent down to pick up the pendant, secretly guessing that it might have been accidentally dropped by the woman just now.

He anxiously held the pendant, trying to catch up with the woman and return it to her. However, when he came to his senses, he found that the woman had disappeared without a trace. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself: "She has been gone for so long, how can I catch up with her?"

Helplessly, he could only hold the jade pendant tightly in his hand, as if it was a precious gift. Then, he carefully put the pendant into his arms, as if he was afraid that it would be lost or damaged.

After that, he secretly went to see the woman several times, but each time he watched from a distance and did not dare to approach. Because he was using the identity of a businessman who needed to search for medicine all over the country, he could not reveal his true identity. Therefore, he quietly left a few people to protect her in secret, so that he could often get news about her.

Later, when he returned to the capital, he found that his queen mother had already started looking for a marriage for him. At the same time, he also knew that with Ainuer's status, neither his queen mother nor his father would agree to let him marry her. So he wanted to take the opportunity to let Ainuer make a contribution when they were building the West City, and then use his own contribution to build the West City to beg his father and queen mother for their consent!

But who knows what will happen unexpectedly? Just when he arrived in Xicheng, he heard the news that Ainur's family was destroyed. After investigation, it was found that her second brother colluded with outsiders to frame her family. She also disappeared at that time. The final clue found was that she might have gone to the Tang Dynasty.

In the past three years, he has never given up the search, although he knows that the chances of finding her are slim in the vast sea of ​​people, but this brief encounter has become a shining pearl in his memory, often shining in his heart. He can't help but think of the beauty and warmth of that moment, as if time had frozen at that moment!

All the beauty and excitement of the past came to an abrupt end the moment he learned the news three years ago, followed by heartache and sadness. In order to numb himself from missing her too much and not affecting the overall situation, he put all his energy into the construction of West City. He went in and out with the craftsmen, worked together, ate together, worked hard together, and moved things together. However, the longing did not ease at all. He often dreamed of her at night. Sometimes he dreamed that she was covered in wounds and asked him for help, sometimes he dreamed that she had already turned into dust and dry bones, and sometimes he dreamed that she was living happily!

Some time ago, he woke up from a dream in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again, so he wanted to go for a walk outside. However, when he walked, he found several people walking stealthily in one direction.

He followed them without thinking and found that they seemed to be plotting something, but he couldn't follow too closely to avoid alerting the enemy. So he wrote down the facial features of several people and asked Ziya to check quietly.

Ziya was very efficient and quickly found out the identities and backgrounds of these people. It turned out that these people were gangsters who made a living by stealing. But they all came here on their own initiative a few days ago, saying that they were looking for helpers and wanted to earn a salary to support their families. The person in charge of recruiting workers saw that they were all strong laborers and agreed to let them come to work!

The purpose of their coming here was that someone paid them to tell him their whereabouts in detail. So he followed the clues and found out that the person who bribed them wanted to do something to him, and at the same time wanted to put the blame on the foreigners!

So, he calmed down and thought carefully and guessed that someone didn't want him to return to the capital, and he had been so sad and upset for the past three years that he didn't pay attention to the developments in the capital!

After careful consideration, he thought that since someone didn't want him to come back, he would take advantage of the situation. He could also use this opportunity to go back to the capital to see what had happened in the past three years and find out who was behind this.

But he never expected that just after arriving in the capital, his heartless second brother could not wait to take advantage of his serious injury and took the opportunity to take his mistress out of the palace! And the purpose of taking her out of the palace was probably to wait until he died so that they could continue their relationship!

Keremu leaned against the window, still holding the pendant in his hand. His eyes gradually regained clarity. He slowly withdrew his thoughts, turned his head to look at the recliner, and looking at the figure who was still sleeping, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a contemptuous smile.

In a moment, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness before dawn like a ghost.

The next morning, the morning light poured into the room through the window lattice. Hanguli was gently pushed awake by Dal. She opened her eyes with difficulty and said in a sleepy voice, "What's wrong?"

Dale said softly, "Miss, it's time to get up. The housekeeper just told us to move to another courtyard. The prince needs to rest!"

Hanguli frowned and rubbed her temples, trying to dispel the sleepiness. Then she patted her heavy head, her vision still a little blurry, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Even if we have to move, we don't have to rush now! Can you wait until I wake up before moving?"

Dahl sighed helplessly and explained patiently: "Miss, there is nothing we can do about it. The prince is seriously injured and needs to rest quietly. Besides, this is the arrangement of the palace, and we can only obey orders."
