Children of Loulan

Chapter 197 The truth of that year must be investigated

Hanguli said expressionlessly: "In the future, the queen will get rid of me and find a helpful wife for King Xuan!"

Dahl nodded: "Yes, the royal family's struggle for power has always been cruel and ruthless, and the young lady does not have the background and strength. If in the future..." She took a deep breath, "I am afraid that the prince will not care about the young lady's life or death at that time!"

In fact, Hanguli knew in her heart that she was just a pawn in the struggle for power between the two brothers. She knew that she was involved in this game of royal struggle and could not make her own choice.

It was just a pity that Dalan wanted to protect her out of the palace and away from the disputes. She sighed lightly. As long as she was in the royal family, she could not escape the pursuit of power and wealth.

When Hanguli and the Dal sisters, the master and servant, came to the gate of Keremu's courtyard again, the guard at the gate still saluted her respectfully and reported: "Princess, the prince has gone to bed!" Hanguli nodded slightly to show that she knew. Then she said softly: "Okay, then I will go back first and come back when the prince wakes up!" After that, she turned and left.

At this moment, Keremu was standing in front of the window in the courtyard, staring at Hanguli's back as she walked away. In his mind, the words that Baixi had just told him kept appearing: "Later, Prince Xin said that I remember that the prince's wife still loved my father very much!" This sentence hit Keremu's heart like a heavy hammer, making him feel extremely heavy.

His expression became lonely, and he thought to himself, "It turns out that the person she has always loved is my father... No wonder she hates my mother who designed her to leave the palace so much, and even cooperates with Aidier just to avenge my mother and make her leave my father!"

"She doesn't want to marry me at all. She loves my father, not me."

Seeing the prince so sad, Bai Xi was speechless, because when he thought about how the princess was gentle and considerate in front of the prince, and how she looked like a beautiful girl next door, but how she was so good at calculating her own benefits in front of Aider, all his good impression of the princess disappeared immediately. He just felt that she was a liar with superb acting skills, and she had deceived the feelings of her own prince!

After Edir returned to Prince Xin's Palace from Prince Xuan's Palace, he immediately called his confidant: "Ah Cheng, two days have passed. Have you dealt with the two palace maids?"

Ah Cheng stood aside and answered respectfully: "Your Highness, it has been dealt with! But..."

Hearing his just, Aidil immediately looked at him sideways and asked in a cold tone: "Just what?"

Ah Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "The people who investigated your mother's case reported that they didn't find any clues, and all the people involved in the matter were nowhere to be found. Moreover... even Mu Liangren's family members are all gone!"

Hearing this, Aidil's eyes became sharp and he frowned. He could no longer remember what his mother looked like. His mother in his memory was always vague. He only vaguely remembered that when he was very young, his mother often put him with his mother's concubine. Then his mother fell ill and he could no longer see her. It had been so long that he could not even remember when his mother died.

In fact, he didn't know much about his mother. He only knew that she was born in a humble family and was named Mu Liangren after entering the palace. As for his mother's family, he had never seen them. His mother had never mentioned them to him, as if his mother's existence was just a faint shadow.

For so many years, he had been raised by his mother, enjoying her love and warmth. Gradually, he almost forgot that he had a biological mother. Now, when he thinks back on it, he can't help but feel a little guilty and regretful.

At the same time, after hearing what Ah Cheng said, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Could it be that the mother destroyed all the clues and evidence related to her mother?

He asked doubtfully, "My mother's family is gone?"

Ah Cheng: "Yes, not long after Mu Liangren passed away, their house suddenly caught fire and no one in the family was spared!"

Aider lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Have you found any other clues or insiders?"

Asumi shook his head, indicating that no other valuable clues were found.

Edir slowly stood up, walked to the window with heavy steps, and stared at the scenery outside the window with dull eyes. His heart seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss, cold and desperate. All traces related to his mother were wiped out completely, not even a trace of her was left. This decisive method made people shudder. The person who did it was obviously carefully planned, and acted decisively and ruthlessly, without any sense of dragging his feet.

Although deep down in his heart, Aidil did not want to link this matter with his mother, reality forced him to think about this possibility.

After all, it was his mother who raised him and loved him, and there was a deep emotional bond between mother and son. However, the various signs revealed before him made it impossible for him to ignore the cruel fact that his mother and her family might be murdered.

He sighed deeply, and said firmly and resolutely: "Keep investigating. No matter how much it costs, I must know the truth behind the incident!"

Ah Cheng replied respectfully: "Yes, sir!"

Aidil then instructed: "Also, go and find out when the anniversary of my mother and grandfather's family's death is."

Ashun responded without hesitation: "I'll check it out right away!" Then he turned and left, determined not to let his master down.

Aidil still stared at the scenery outside the window quietly, but his mind was completely immersed in Xilin and the fetus in her belly. In the past, he didn't care too much about the fight between him and his brother, thinking that he had his mother and the prime minister to protect him, so it didn't matter even if he couldn't get that position. But now, for Xilin and their child, he must fight for it with all his strength.

Because, if the secret of the child's origin is revealed one day, Xilin will face certain death. But if she can successfully fight for that high position, she will be able to protect her and her child for a long time.

At this moment, the prince is ill in bed. As long as he can win over Hanguli and let her pay attention to the changes in the prince's condition at all times, once any signs of improvement are found, he can take action quickly and prevent him from becoming an obstacle!

As for my mother, if she was really the culprit who killed my mother and her family, and now she has set her sights on Xilin and her son, then she must not be easily forgiven. However, considering her kindness in raising me for many years, I can spare her life.

The most urgent matter at the moment was to send more people to protect the safety of Xilin and her son. Whenever he thought of this, he hated the queen more and more for ruining his plan. Otherwise, Xilin would not be his father's wife now.

At this moment, in the palace, Xilin was lying leisurely in the palace. Aunt Kui walked in lightly and said in a low voice: "Madam, His Highness is currently investigating the death of his mother!"

Xilin still kept her eyes tightly closed and snorted coldly: "Hmph, did he find out anything?"

Aunt Kui shook her head gently: "The Xianfei handled the matter very neatly and efficiently, without leaving any traces."
