Children of Loulan

Chapter 122 Visit

But... He took a deep breath, making his voice even heavier and colder: "We are about to enter the Year of the Dragon, and this is the busiest time. I really don't have the extra energy to run here anymore!"

Bayer said quickly: "It's okay, sir. You can wait until after the New Year and find time to come and visit. We all understand that you are busy. After all, it's the end of the year and everyone has a lot of things to deal with." There was a bit of earnestness and helplessness in her tone, and at the same time, she revealed her respect and understanding for Shamu.

After a moment of silence, Shamu slowly said, "You must take good care of her!" Then he silently carried the medicine box on his back, turned around and walked away quickly. His back seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. Every step he took was extremely difficult, as if he was under great pressure.

When Bayer saw this, she couldn't help but get anxious. She quickly shouted, "Hey, sir, why are you gone? My lady...!"

However, before she could finish her words, she was pulled back by Dale. Bayer turned around and looked at her sister with a puzzled look on his face, and asked in confusion: "Sister, why didn't you let me stop him? What should I do next?"

Dahl shook his head gently, sighed, and said helplessly: "Forget it, don't embarrass him. Judging from his appearance just now, someone must have not allowed him to treat our young lady."

After hearing what her sister said, Bayer couldn't believe her ears. She widened her eyes and asked in astonishment, "Who is it? They are so cruel. Do they want to kill the young lady?"

Dahl frowned and said with a worried look on his face: "Who else could it be? It could be the two people who drove us out of Yunhe Temple. Bayer, from now on, Miss can only rely on ourselves!"

Bayer quickly understood the meaning of her sister's words. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said firmly: "Don't worry, sister, I believe the young lady will get better. I'll go get the medicine now!" As soon as she finished speaking, Bayer resolutely turned around and left.

Watching Bayer's back gradually going away, Dahl was filled with helplessness and worry. She knew that the days ahead would be extremely difficult, but she also firmly believed that as long as the two sisters worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties. At this moment, Dahl secretly made up her mind that no matter how big the setbacks were, she would stay by the side of the young lady. At the same time, she silently prayed that the young lady would recover soon, and she also looked forward to a turn for the better.

After meeting Xilin that day, Aidil could not wait to visit the residence of the Minister of Revenue after learning that Xilin had not returned to the palace. He knocked on the door of the Minister of Revenue's house with the courtesy of a junior and with a nervous mood.

When the Minister of Revenue heard that the Second Prince had come to visit him personally, he was overjoyed. He guessed that this visit must be related to what Concubine Xian had agreed to - marrying her eldest daughter to the Second Prince. Thinking of this, the Minister of Revenue was filled with joy. He felt that the Second Prince must have come to see his eldest daughter. So, when the Second Prince entered the palace, the Minister of Revenue hurriedly called out his wife and eldest daughter, and introduced them one by one: "Second Prince, this is my wife and eldest daughter!"

Aidir looked in the direction pointed by the Minister of Revenue, and saw a woman in her thirties or forties, dressed in gorgeous clothes, leading a young girl slowly towards them. The girl was decent-looking, quite pretty, but far inferior to her sister Xilin.

Especially the teardrop mole under Xilin's eyes, which was like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting charming light and making people intoxicated. Just when he was secretly muttering in his heart, why didn't his mother betroth such a beautiful Xilin to him, the two of them had already walked up to him, bowed and said: "Your Highness, your Highness, the Second Prince, is here to see you!"

The two's gentle and graceful voices interrupted his thoughts. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Madam, there is no need to be polite. This time, I am here to visit Madam Ping on the orders of my mother."

Madam Ping was the concubine of Wumail, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and also the biological mother of Xilin. Wumail was a little surprised at first when he heard that the second prince came to visit his concubine. But then he thought, since the two sides had already decided on a marriage, perhaps this was the royal family's care for the future in-laws. So he didn't think any more and led Aidil straight to the backyard.

Aidil followed Wumail's footsteps without hesitation and walked towards the backyard. However, he did not notice that the girl behind him was staring at his back with affection, her eyes full of love and reluctance. Only when his figure disappeared from her sight did the girl reluctantly look away.

The woman next to the girl seemed to see through her thoughts and said softly, "If you are so reluctant to leave, why didn't you follow along?"

As soon as the voice fell, the girl's cheeks flushed with shyness. She lowered her head slightly and responded softly: "Mother, although we have made an engagement, it is only a verbal agreement after all. It has not been formally engaged. There is a difference between men and women. I can't let His Highness mistakenly think that our family is the kind of uneducated family!"

The woman stared at her daughter quietly, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. Hearing her mother's laughter, the girl's face became hotter and hotter, and her shyness was beyond words. She said angrily: "Oh, mother! You... I don't care about you anymore!"

After the woman finished laughing, she reached out and gently pulled the girl, saying softly, "Okay, mother will not tease you anymore. I know how much you like him. However, you still need to go to your second mother's yard more often in the next two days to comfort your sister. At the same time, you must pay close attention to her and make sure nothing unexpected happens!"

Seeing her mother's serious and oppressive eyes, the girl had to put away her playful thoughts. She looked at her mother seriously and said firmly, "Don't worry, mother. There are people watching over there. Everything is under our control. She won't know anything she shouldn't know!"

Then, under the guidance of Wumail, Adil came to the backyard. After passing a garden, they walked into a yard. When he stepped into the room, Adil saw the person he had been thinking about day and night. However, just this quick glance made Adil's heart tighten. After only one day of not seeing her, Xilin's face was full of haggardness, her eyes were dark and lifeless, and her hair looked a little messy, which showed that she had not slept all night.

Then, he turned his gaze to the bedside, where an old, dying woman lay, her breathing so weak that it was almost inaudible. Edir slowly walked forward, looked at Xilin with a sad face and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Xilin did not respond to his question, and did not even glance at him. He soon realized that he should not ask this question, so he quickly changed the question: "How is Madam Ping now? Mother is very worried and sent me to visit her."

However, Xilin remained indifferent and simply replied, "Thank you for your concern, but I still need to ask the Second Prince to convey to you that my biological mother is seriously ill, so I am afraid it will take some time before I can return to the palace."
