Children of Loulan

Chapter 306: Killing the Concubine

Aisan quickly responded respectfully: "Yes, I will obey the king's order! I will fulfill my mission and guard the training ground as solid as a rock!" After that, he bowed and turned around and hurried away to carry out the task assigned by the king.

In the magnificent Xuan Palace, Hanguli's pregnancy had already stabilized, and she had successfully passed the uncomfortable morning sickness stage. This good news made the entire palace immersed in joy, but the happiest person was undoubtedly Baixi. Now, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he could prepare for his marriage with Daer wholeheartedly.

Although the prince had thoughtfully sent people to assist him in organizing the wedding, Bai Xi still hoped to personally participate in every step and personally create the most perfect and grand wedding ceremony for Dale in his mind. Therefore, these days, Bai Xi was very busy all day long, running to the market to choose exquisite silks and satins, and then rushing to the jewelry store to look for dazzling jewelry. His originally broad face was now smiling as brightly as a flower blooming in spring, and his big mouth that stretched to his ears seemed to never close.

Ziya, who was standing by, watched Baixi running around so hard and happily every day, and she couldn't help but feel confused and puzzled. In her opinion, Baixi worked so hard, so hard, wouldn't he really feel tired?

At this moment, an urgent message from the palace suddenly exploded like a thunder. However, because Bai Xi's mind and eyes were full of marriage recently, he neglected other matters.

After learning about this situation, Ziya did not dare to delay for even a second. He immediately found King Xuan and reported the news he had heard truthfully: "Your Majesty, an imperial decree just came from the palace, saying that the Prime Minister has committed a serious crime and is on the run. For this reason, the King has issued an order to have the Prime Minister's entire family thrown into the Heavenly Prison. In addition, the Concubine Xian, because she was implicated in this, has been sentenced to be beheaded in public in three days!"

Keremu nodded slightly to show his approval, and then said calmly: "Well, this king has already known about this matter, you can leave first."

At this time, Hanguli was leaning on the gorgeous recliner in an extremely lazy posture. She opened her red lips and said slowly: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister has been rescued. But my father wants to kill the virtuous concubine. Is my father trying to use this to warn the Prime Minister so that he will come back and surrender himself? Or is the king trying to force the Prime Minister to use his private soldiers to rush back to rescue his relatives at all costs?"

Keremu raised a cold smile and answered confidently, "This is what my father did to intimidate the prime minister. Although the title of virtuous concubine has been abolished, she is still the prime minister's own flesh and blood. Losing a daughter may not be a fatal blow to the prime minister, but don't forget that the men in the prime minister's house are now imprisoned. If the prime minister is still stubborn and refuses to turn back, then the king may order the extermination of his entire family at any time!"

Hanguli frowned slightly and analyzed worriedly: "But Your Majesty, now that the Prime Minister has successfully escaped, he still has a large number of private soldiers in his hands. If the Prime Minister is ruthless and does not care about the life and death of his own family, then even if the King is really cruel enough to kill all his family members, I am afraid that the Prime Minister may not show up easily!"

Keremu gently extended his hand, slowly stroked Hanguli's silky hair, and said in a low voice: "Li'er, this move of father is actually a plan to kill two birds with one stone. First, it is to force the cunning prime minister to use his private soldiers who have been hidden for many years to rush into the capital at all costs, just to rescue his imprisoned family members and let them fight to the death; second, the prime minister should be over 70 years old now, and many of his children are imprisoned in the prison. If he only cares about his own safety and ignores his family, then after he passes away, those well-trained and well-equipped private soldiers will fall into the hands of others. In this way, with the selfish nature of the prime minister, he will definitely not sit idly by and will come to risk his life to save people."

Upon hearing this, Hanguli frowned and said with a worried look on her face, "So my father has such an idea in mind, intending to force the prime minister to rebel, so that he can be killed with a legitimate reason?"

Keremu nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then said, "That's right. And as far as I know, long before the prime minister was demoted and exiled, his family members tried to sneak out of the city at night, but my father had already seen through everything and set up a dragnet in advance to intercept all these people. In this way, not only can we successfully prevent them from escaping, but we also find a perfect reason to eradicate those private army forces hiding in the dark. It's just..." At this point, Keremu couldn't help but sigh.

Hanguli's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of sadness that was difficult to conceal, and she murmured to herself: "In this way, I wonder how many innocent soldiers will die. They should have fought bloody battles with foreign enemies on the battlefield, defended their country, and finally returned home wrapped in horsehide. However, now they are going to die in this internal strife and conspiracy of court power. It is really regrettable."

Keremu sighed deeply and said with emotion: "Throughout the ages, among the generals and soldiers of every dynasty, there have always been some who did not die on the battlefields defending against foreign enemies, but died tragically in civil strife. Power is like a poison that captivates the mind, making people blind and greedy. Everyone longs to ascend to the supreme and coveted throne."

At the same time, compared to the busyness of Baixi, Dahl seemed particularly quiet. She continued to live her life in an orderly manner as usual, doing what she had to do, and did not seem to pay too much attention to the upcoming marriage. However, in fact, she was not really indifferent to this matter, but Baixi had once told her to take good care of her body and just be a beautiful bride waiting to get married.

On the other hand, since Bayer read the affectionate confession letter that Mo Ming left for her, the disgust she had felt towards Bai Xi had faded away unconsciously. Moreover, when she saw with her own eyes how Bai Xi had worked tirelessly to prepare for the wedding and how she was determined not to let her sister work too hard, she became even more convinced that Bai Xi was really sincere in his treatment of her sister. During this period, Bayer also exchanged letters with Mo Ming several times, and the communication between the two became more frequent, and their hearts became closer and closer.

Dale quietly observed his sister and found that she had recently paid special attention to Captain Mo. Whenever she mentioned this person, her bright eyes would always sparkle with a different light, and the corners of her mouth would unconsciously rise, all of which could not escape Dale's sharp eyes.

Out of concern and love for his sister, Dal decided to secretly inquire about the character of Captain Mo. So, taking advantage of a suitable opportunity, Dal quietly came to the prince and carefully asked about Captain Mo's situation.
