Children of Loulan

Chapter 381 Princess Cheng is Pregnant

In order to avoid unnecessary suspicion from others, he racked his brains to come up with a clever plan and successfully brought Aidil into the court. At first, Aidil showed extreme resistance to this. You know, he had experienced a series of tragic tragedies: first, he lost his beloved woman, and then he learned that the person he had always regarded as his mother was actually his enemy who killed his mother. Such a heavy blow almost crushed him and made him fall into deep decadence.

However, Batur's earnest persuasion finally touched Aidil's almost broken heart. Batur told Aidil earnestly that fighting for power was not just to satisfy personal desires, but to protect those who were most important to them. These words were like a revelation, and Aidil instantly thought of Xilin, who lived deep in the palace, and her newly born child.

At that moment, Aidil understood everything. Perhaps he could choose to live his life in a muddle-headed way, but Xilin and the child absolutely could not do that! He knew that he might never have the chance to ascend to the supreme throne, but he had the ability and determination to push the child to that position and let them live a stable and worry-free life.

The two walked into the court side by side, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. However, under this seemingly calm appearance, Batur's heart had already been burning with ambition. He had long coveted the coveted position of the Minister of Revenue.

Since the previous prime minister was arrested for a crime and Xilin's father was exiled, this position, which symbolizes the core of Loulan's wealth, has been vacant. For Batur, this is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, Batur knew that he was in a delicate situation. The princess he married was the cousin of General Ankar, and his father-in-law was the capable deputy general of General Ankar's father, who had a large army under his command. If he directly asked his father for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, his father would probably be suspicious and think that he not only coveted military power, but also wanted to control the country's financial lifeline, and thus suspected that he had evil intentions and intended to rebel.

Because of this, after careful consideration, Batur had to find another way. In the end, he set his sights on Aidil and decided to secretly push Aidil to take the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

In Batur's opinion, only by letting Aidil take this position, his father would not worry that this person was used by him, and he could entrust the important financial power to him without any scruples. Although Aidil was not completely obedient to him at present, Batur was confident that he could conquer him and use him for his own benefit with his wisdom and means.

However, for the king, among these three adult sons, one was appointed as the crown prince, holding great power in the court, busy with complicated government affairs every day; another controlled the financial power of the entire Loulan, responsible for the stability and development of the country's economic lifeline; and the third son, although he looked the least capable, the powerful Yue family behind him should not be underestimated, as his family controlled a large number of troops and guarded the border all year round to defend the country.

In this way, the three forces would check and balance each other. The king thought that such a structure should be able to avoid the tragedy of brothers killing each other for power struggle. After all, this was the harmonious scene that he most hoped to see in his heart!

Unfortunately, the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart, and the development of things is often beyond people's expectations. Just when the king was full of joy and thought that everything was under his control, he didn't know that under the seemingly calm surface, there were actually undercurrents.

The powerful Guanglu Doctor watched the Crown Prince and King Cheng fighting overtly and covertly in private, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: How can I make sure I am invincible? After all, both of them are outstanding people, each with their own strengths, and it is difficult to tell who is better at the moment.

At the same time, Guanglu Doctor also knew that the mysterious woman hidden in the heart of Prince Xin must be extraordinary. Although her true origins have not yet been found out, out of caution, Guanglu Doctor decided to hold back for the time being, continue to secretly investigate and patiently observe the changes in the situation, so as to make plans before taking action and find a foolproof plan.

After more than a few months of marriage, the Cheng Palace was filled with joy. A piece of great news spread throughout the capital - the Cheng Princess was pregnant! The news spread like wildfire, and the entire palace was shocked. Among them, Concubine Ru was the most ecstatic. She valued the child in the Cheng Princess' belly very much, and continuously sent all kinds of rare gifts to the Cheng Palace to show her love.

At the same time, the Queen Mother and the Queen also donated generously and presented generous gifts to show their care. However, behind this happy and peaceful atmosphere, there was an undercurrent.

In the court, since King Cheng entered the court as an official, he and the crown prince have been getting along like brothers, with brotherly love and respect, and a harmonious scene. But in fact, King Cheng has been secretly competing with the crown prince, and neither of them would give in. It's just that due to the face of the royal family, both sides have not yet completely torn their faces and put this fight on the table.

Now, the cousin is pregnant, and Ankar knows that King Cheng will take the opportunity to persuade the cousin, trying to win over himself and his father through her, so that they will stand on King Cheng's side. You know, although the cousin used to be well-behaved, sensible, gentle and obedient, now is different from the past. She has married King Cheng and is about to have her own child. It is hard to guarantee that she will not be confused for a while because of her deep love for her child and be bewitched by King Cheng.

After careful consideration, Ankar finally made up his mind and wrote a letter to his father who was guarding the border. Every word in the letter was full of affection and worry. He earnestly told his father to keep an eye on his second uncle and not let him be instigated to make a big mistake. After all, their family had been loyal ministers and generals for generations and had never been involved in any party disputes.

Since giving birth to the child, Hanguli seems to have the whole world revolving around this little one. Her heart and eyes are full of the child, and she pays attention to the child's growth every moment. Seeing the child gradually grow from a hungry baby to a lively and cute one crawling on the ground, Hanguli's heart is filled with endless comfort and joy.

At the same time, as a crown prince, Keremu had to devote more energy to the busy government affairs. However, even though he was busy with government affairs, the first thing he did when he returned to the East Palace every day was to rush to see his beloved baby. Whenever he saw the child's tender face and watched him sleeping, Keremu's day's fatigue instantly disappeared.

As for Dar, he gradually fell in love with Baixi after getting married to him. However, Dar and Baixi had been worried about the condition of the fetus in the belly of the Crown Princess Hanguli, so they decided to postpone their plan to have a child after careful consideration. Now that Hanguli has successfully given birth to a healthy little prince, Dar finally put his mind at ease. Not long after, the happy news came - Dar himself was pregnant.

On the other hand, although Baier often exchanges letters with Mo Ming to relieve her longing for him, she has no time to indulge in love at the moment. Because she has to take good care of the Crown Princess's daily life and also care about her pregnant sister from time to time. Although the Crown Princess has arranged for someone to take care of Dal's pregnancy, she still visits him every day to feel at ease.
