Children of Loulan

Chapter 178: Meeting Again

Mi Feiti understood Dalan's worries, and she whispered, "My beauty, don't worry too much. I believe that Princess Xuan will live a good life." Her eyes were firm and gentle.

However, Daran smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Okay?" There was a hint of self-mockery in her laughter, "Marrying someone from the royal family means you're destined to be on the battlefield all your life, how can that be good?" Her eyes revealed worry and helplessness about the future.

Mi Feiti comforted him, "But even ordinary families, as long as they have a little power, have many wives and concubines at home, and there will be endless fighting. In comparison, the royal family at least has the highest power. What's more, the current Princess Xuan is not someone that anyone can take her life at will!" Her words revealed a sense of helplessness in reality, but she also tried to make Dalan see some positive aspects.

Daran sighed deeply, with a trace of sadness in her eyes: "Why do women have to face this?" Her voice was full of reluctance and confusion about her fate, which made people feel pity for her.

At the same time, it also reminded her of the first time she saw that man. At that time, he was as dazzling as a star, which made her yearn for him. However, looking back now, she realized that it was just an illusory dream. She had envisioned a beautiful future with him countless times, but reality was like a ruthless blade, slapping her in the face, making her realize how naive and ridiculous she was before!

The news of the awakening of the King of Xuan spread throughout the capital like a spring breeze, and the people were shocked and excited about this miracle. In the streets, alleys, teahouses and taverns, people were discussing it enthusiastically, praising the state master for his great magical power and unique vision, and for selecting the destined person for the King of Xuan, so that the King of Xuan could be reborn.

In the Xuan Palace, the queen sat anxiously beside Keremu's bed, looking at her son with worry. Although Keremu had woken up, he was still very weak and his face was so pale that it made people worry. The queen was heartbroken, tears kept flowing, and her eyes were red and swollen. Keremu couldn't bear it and wanted to comfort his mother. He turned his head with difficulty and tried to speak. However, when he opened his mouth, no sound came out, only a weak air flowed out of his throat.

Upon seeing this, the queen immediately wiped away her tears, nervously stepped forward, and asked distressedly: "Mu'er, what's wrong? Tell me what you want to say!"

She held Keremu's hand tightly, her eyes full of concern and worry. However, Keremu turned his gaze to Baixi at the side.

After receiving the eye signal from his master, Bai Xi immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the prince means that he is very worried about your health. Although I told you that you are fine before, you have been crying since you came to the palace. So now the prince does not believe what I said before that you are fine!"

He raised his head and stole a glance at the queen, and found that she was not angry. Instead, she looked at the prince lying on the bed with a gentle face. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then continued: "My queen, you know that the prince has always respected you. Now he is still sick. If he keeps worrying about you like this, I'm afraid his injuries will heal slowly!"

When the queen heard this, a look of distress and worry suddenly appeared on her face. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and immediately began to wipe the tears from her face: "Don't cry, mother, don't cry. Mu'er, look, mother is fine now!"

After wiping her tears, she gently held Keremu's hand and said, "Mu'er, as long as you are well, everything will be fine for your mother!"

Bai Xi hurriedly comforted her, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. The prince has woken up now. As long as he follows the imperial physician's instructions and takes good care of his injuries, he will recover soon. But, Your Highness, please pay more attention to your own health and don't make the prince worry too much!"

The queen listened and nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Then, she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said to Bai Xi with a smile: "I understand, you have worked hard these days."

Bai Xi was relieved to see that the queen was so reasonable: "This is what I should do!" After he finished speaking, he bowed to the queen and stepped aside.

At this time, the queen's gaze fell on her son on the bed again, her eyes full of concern and love.

When Prince Xin Aider learned that Keremu had awakened, he immediately put down his affairs and rushed to Prince Xuan's palace as soon as possible.

He had always thought that Keremu would not survive for more than a few days, after all, the assassin he sent had reported to him that the arrow had hit Keremu's heart. However, to his surprise, Keremu had stubbornly made it to the capital. At the time, he simply attributed it to Keremu's good luck, but now, the news that Keremu had woken up came, which shocked him greatly.

Although he was full of uneasiness, he decided to come to the Xuanwang Mansion to find out. However, when he entered the palace, he heard that the queen had arrived first. He was unwilling to meet the queen, so he changed his mind and planned to meet the Xuanwang Concubine again.

In the back garden, the water of the artificial lake was crystal clear, and the lake surface was sparkling, reflecting the pavilions and green trees on the shore. An exquisite pavilion stood by the lake, surrounded by colorful flowers, which was beautiful. Aidil sat quietly opposite Hanguli, and the two sat opposite each other in silence.

After Hanguli ordered the servants to bring tea, she began to drink tea by herself, as if she had completely ignored Aidil's presence. She elegantly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then closed her eyes, savoring the tea aroma. Aidil looked at her silently, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Finally, Aider couldn't help but said, "I never thought that the Princess Xuan would be so stingy that she couldn't even pour me a cup of tea!" There was a hint of ridicule in his voice, but more of dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Hanguli smiled slightly, opened her eyes, and looked at Aidier. Her eyes revealed a hint of indifference, and she said softly: "Faced with the person who wanted to tease me, I didn't beat Prince Xin with a stick, which was already for the sake of Prince Xin's brother. So, Prince Xin should not push his luck." After that, she took another sip of tea and continued to enjoy the quiet time.

After hearing what Hanguli said, Aidil was not angry. Instead, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea: "Don't be so angry, wife of the king. It was just a misunderstanding at the beginning!"

Hanguli looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Oh? Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Could it be that Prince Xin recognized the wrong person?" She looked at Prince Xin with a playful look, "So, Prince Xin had evil intentions towards a maid in Prince Xuan's mansion, so he recognized the wrong princess?"

Regarding Aidil's visit this time, Hanguli guessed that it might be related to the awakening of King Xuan, but he should be visiting King Xuan at this time, not staying with her, so when her intentions were still unclear, Hanguli could only speak to him in a deliberately tricky way!

However, in response to her cunningness, Aidier did not continue her topic, but changed the subject: "It seems that life in the Xuanwang Mansion is indeed much better than that in Yuexi Residence. Otherwise, how could the usually introverted wife become so aggressive?" He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Hanguli, "Or has the wife already cooperated with the queen in a friendly manner?"
