Children of Loulan

Chapter 474 I did all this

The queen wiped the tears from her cheeks with her hands and said in a trembling voice: "But you are seriously injured. Your third brother is rebelling this time, and there must be many of his remnants in the palace. What if they are determined to support your third brother and you are seriously injured? How can you resist them?"

At this time, Hawuer stepped forward quickly, walked to the side of the queen, and said in a firm tone: "Grandmother, please rest assured that your grandchildren will take care of anything. Now that my father is seriously injured, it is natural for the grandchildren to investigate the remnants of the palace. My father only needs to stay with you and recuperate from his injuries."

Seeing this, Muzepal quickly agreed, "Yes, Grandmother Wang, just leave this matter to us. Father will definitely stay here."

Keremu wanted to say something, but when he saw the determined looks in Hawule and Muzepal's eyes, he swallowed the words back. In the end, he just nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then warned: "You must be careful and pay attention to your own safety!"

Seeing this, the queen hurriedly instructed: "Although Concubine Ru has not been thrown into prison, she is still guarded by the imperial guards. No matter what, she is still the king's concubine. Wait until the king wakes up, and then let the king decide this matter!"

Ha Wuer nodded in agreement: "Okay, grandson understands. Before Grandfather Wang wakes up, the daily life of Concubine Ru shall continue as usual and she shall not be treated unfairly."

Then, Hawule turned to look at Keremu and said with concern: "Father, you have a good rest. My second brother, Adi and I will go to investigate the remnants of the Third Uncle's party!" After that, he turned around and left with Muzepal and Adi.

In the clan residence, Batur was locked up by heavy chains, unable to move. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged a lot, his black hair had a strand of silver, and his beard grew like weeds. His eyes had lost their former brilliance, staring blankly at the ground, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Ankar led Princess Cheng in, holding a food box in her hand, which was obviously specially prepared for Batur. Princess Cheng walked lightly to the table and began to place the wine and food on the table one by one.

Batur's eyes were drawn to the scene, and he stared at the busy figure of Princess Cheng. Suddenly, a strange light flashed in his eyes. It was a complex emotion from suspicion to disbelief, and finally to disbelief.

He stood up slowly, and because of the chains, he staggered towards Princess Cheng, as if being pulled by an invisible force. When he finally reached Princess Cheng, he gently held her hand and asked with a slightly puzzled tone, "Is it you?"

Princess Cheng did not answer his question immediately. Her eyes were still as calm as water, and she just looked at him quietly. Seeing this, Batur felt even more uneasy. He could not help but shake Princess Cheng's shoulders again, and his tone became a little anxious: "Is it you? Tell me, are you the one who betrayed me?"

This time, his voice was much heavier, mixed with a trace of pain and despair that was difficult to conceal. His eyes gradually became moist, tears welled up in them, and it seemed that they might fall at any time.

However, facing Batur's questioning, Princess Cheng remained silent. Her expression did not change at all, she just stared at him with her cold eyes, as if she was looking at a stranger.

Batur finally couldn't stand this silence anymore, and his emotions were completely out of control. He suddenly let go of Princess Cheng's sleeve, stepped back a few steps, and cried out in a sobbing voice: "Is it really you? Why?"

Seeing Batur in such pain and despair, Princess Cheng couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart. But she quickly regained her composure, took a deep breath, and then said in a light tone: "It's me, I did all this."

Batur looked at Princess Cheng with suspicion. He really couldn't understand why she acted like this. He asked angrily, "You are my legitimate wife! If I can ascend the throne of the ruler of a country, then you will naturally be the queen of the country. Why do you act like this? What good will it do you to kill me? Don't you know that after I die, you will also have a hard time surviving?"

Facing Batur's questioning, Princess Cheng seemed unusually calm. She slowly raised her head, stared at Batur, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have no interest in the so-called queen of a country, and I have never had such a big ambition. All I want is to be an idle person away from the troubles of the world."

Upon hearing this, Batur's eyes widened. He looked at Princess Cheng in disbelief and asked, "What about your son? He is now confined to the palace by the king. Just because he killed an insignificant woman, the king wants to punish him. Don't you feel sorry for him?"

However, Princess Cheng's eyes were extremely firm. She looked directly into Batur's eyes without flinching and said firmly: "He is not my son, never was!"

"My son died a long time ago, many years ago, and I sent him away with my own hands!" Princess Cheng's voice suddenly became high-pitched, as if she wanted to release all the pain that had been suppressed in her heart for all these years.

Batur was so shocked by the sudden truth that he was speechless. He widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "So from the beginning, it was always you who drugged me, right? I have never done anything to let you down, why?"

Princess Cheng had a self-deprecating smile on her lips, and her smile was full of helplessness and sadness. She stared at the person in front of her and said slowly, "You have never let me down? My Lord, you really can say that!" Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was suppressing the pain in her heart.

Princess Cheng took a deep breath and continued, "Why do you want to marry me as your principal wife? You obviously have a woman you love deeply, why don't you let her be your wife?" Her eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at the other person, as if she wanted to see through his eyes to see his true thoughts deep in his heart.

Princess Cheng paused, then continued, "For so many years, you have been constantly placing spies around my father. Do you really think I don't know?" There was a hint of resentment in her words, as if all the grievances she had suffered over the years had flooded her heart at this moment.

At this point, Princess Cheng's eyes gradually became moist, and a line of tears slid down her cheeks. She did not wipe them away, but let the tears flow freely, as if this could slightly alleviate the pain in her heart.

Princess Cheng calmed down a bit and continued, "At first, I really thought that the prince loved me sincerely. However, fate played such a trick on me that I discovered your secret. I knew that if I could give birth to a son, he would become your tool to seize the military power of my mother's family. So, I had no choice but to give you medicine to make you infertile."

Princess Cheng's voice became deeper and deeper. "Unfortunately, you found out about it later. And I was forced to get pregnant with a son. In order to solve the problem once and for all, I could only send him away with great pain when the pregnancy was a little bit older. At the same time, I also lost my fertility because of this."
