Children of Loulan

Chapter 175: A flick of the finger can kill her

The spacious and bright bedroom was filled with exquisite furniture and decorations. In the middle of the room was a large and comfortable bed, and beside the bed was an exquisite dressing table. However, the dressing table was empty, without any items used by women. At this moment, a young and handsome man was reclining on a recliner, wearing a gorgeous robe, showing a noble temperament. He had a handsome face, sharp eyebrows, and deep and sharp eyes.

At this time, a tall and serious man stood respectfully aside and reported the situation to the young man: "In the end, the woman asked my subordinates to go to the slums in the next two days to find a suitable shop for her." The young man nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard the other party's report.

The young man thought for a moment and asked, "So, she wants to help the poor. Not bad, she's starting to build a reputation for herself." Then, he raised his lips slightly, looked at the man in front of him with a hint of joking, and said jokingly, "Bai Xi, how does it feel for a housekeeper to be a servant?"

Bai Xi laughed awkwardly: "Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me. I just want to see what other moves she will make." His eyes were firm, revealing his serious attitude towards the matter.

Keremu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we'll know her purpose soon. Just wait." His tone was relaxed, and he didn't seem to care about this question. As he finished speaking, the door was gently pushed open, and a sturdy man with a serious expression walked in.

This man was Ziya, Keremu's personal bodyguard. After he walked into the room, his eyes fell on Baixi. He first looked him up and down, then froze for a moment before saying in surprise: "Hey, Baixi, what did you do wrong to make the prince send you to be a servant?" His tone was full of doubt and curiosity.

Bai Xi glared at him angrily: "Tell me what you found out?"

Ziya ignored his gaze and looked at Keremu respectfully: "Because of this matter, the king issued an order that no one in the palace should mention it again, so it took a little effort to investigate..."

Bai Xi interrupted him impatiently: "Alright, alright, stop talking about those useless things and get to the point!"

Ziya rolled her eyes. "That woman's name is Xilin. She is the daughter of Concubine Xian's aunt, and also Concubine Xian's cousin. Three years ago, after Xilin entered the palace, Concubine Xian intended to marry Xilin's sister to the Second Prince... Oh no, Prince Xin!"

Because Aidier had just been named Prince Xin a few days ago, Ziya realized that she had said something wrong and quickly changed her words: "She wanted to marry her sister to Prince Xin, but for some reason, not long after, Xilin's mother suddenly died of illness, and she was sad for a long time. However, at this time, her sister was unexpectedly abducted by thieves. Not only did she lose her virginity, she also committed suicide because she could not bear the humiliation. Then, her stepmother also fell ill and never recovered. After experiencing a series of family changes, she accidentally broke the Queen Mother's jade ruyi at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, and was demoted to Jingsi Residence to mourn for her mother for three years!"

Bai Xi propped up his elbows, touched his chin and said, "The younger sister is marrying the father, but the elder sister is marrying the son? This sounds weird, it doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it!"

Ziya also agreed very much and said, "Yes, it is indeed not normal. The timing of the changes in her family is too coincidental. It feels like someone deliberately did it. I think this woman is definitely not simple. She must be quite scheming and cunning. Your Majesty, we still have to be more careful in the future to avoid falling into her trap!"

However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head. It turned out that he was slapped hard. After a "slap" sound, Bai Xi's very unhappy voice came to his ears: "What are you talking about, you little bastard? She is just a woman. Our prince can kill her with just a flick of his finger!"

Ziya rubbed the back of his head and retorted unconvincedly: "I'm not wrong. She is not as simple as an ordinary woman. She is a woman with means and a very vicious mind!"

Bai Xi rarely showed disdain: "So what? Even if she is vicious, she only knows some inner court tricks. Our prince has seen all kinds of storms and waves. How can he be afraid of her? Not to mention the prince, even I can kill her with just a flick of my finger!"

After the two quarreled for a few sentences, they found that the prince did not say anything. They turned their heads at the same time and saw that their prince was lowering his head, looking at the pendant in his hand. They understood that the prince was missing Miss Ainuer again!

Ziya took a step forward and said to Keremu with a very respectful expression: "Your Majesty, I have some other news to tell you about Xilin and Prince Xin."

Keremu tightly held the pendant in his hand that he had seen countless times, and said calmly: "Tell me."

Ziya replied: "According to my investigation, they plan to wait until you pass away, and then have Xilin pretend to commit suicide, and then appear beside Prince Xin with a new identity."

Keremu raised his lips slightly and chuckled: "Haha, so that's how it is. How can I do what they want?" Then he looked up at Ziya and continued: "Two days later, when you go to the palace to report, tell them that I have woken up."

Ziya responded respectfully: "Yes, sir!"

Then, Keremu looked outside the room and gave an order: "Get rid of that basket of red silk. Don't leave it here. It feels unlucky."

That basket of red silk was on the second day after their marriage, and Keremu asked him to pull down all of it. But the Queen Mother had specifically instructed that the red silk must be hung for a full month, so after Ziya pulled down the red silk, he did not dare to take it out, but put it in a basket and placed it in the outer room!

But now the prince asked to take it away, which made Ziya embarrassed, so he could only respond "yes" with a bitter face, but he was thinking of a solution in his heart!

Meanwhile in Cuihua Court, Hanguli was still thinking about opening a medicine shop. It was easy to open a medicine shop, but it was a little difficult to open herbal medicines because although they were called herbal medicines, they were actually some weeds with some medicinal properties. However, due to their low medicinal properties and low value, no drug dealer was willing to do this business. However, to open a medicine shop, the supply of herbal medicines must be guaranteed!

Seeing her gloomy face, Dale stepped forward and asked softly, "Miss, we have just arrived at the palace. Why do you want to bring the palace servant with you when you want to open a medicine shop? Aren't you afraid that he will tell the prince later?"

Hanguli frowned in confusion: "The prince will know sooner or later! Besides, we don't know anyone in this capital. What else can we do except looking for the prince's people?"

Dar couldn't help but wonder, "Since Miss has decided to ask for help from the prince, why is Miss still worrying about the herbs herself?"

Hanguli was startled when she heard this, then she looked at Dal for a moment as if she had suddenly realized something, then she slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, yes, how could I have forgotten this!"

As she spoke, she quickly picked up a pen and quickly wrote a list, then solemnly handed it to Dar: "Give this list to Baixi, and give him another 1,000 taels of silver, and ask him to find someone to go to the nearby villages to buy these herbs!"
