Children of Loulan

Chapter 407: One Corpse and Two Lives

Hearing the order, the imperial doctor standing behind him did not dare to be negligent, and responded quickly, then turned around and ran out of the door. At the same time, the hospital chief Dawuti took out several thin silver needles from the medical box he carried with him, and skillfully and accurately inserted them into several acupuncture points on Hanguli's body. As the silver needles pierced her skin, Hanguli's originally pale face gradually turned a little red, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and her consciousness gradually became clear.

Seeing that Hanguli was getting better, the head of the courtyard, Dawuti, was slightly relieved, but he did not relax his vigilance. He stood up gently, carefully left the room, and came to the prince who was waiting outside.

The head of the hospital, Dawuti, saluted respectfully to the crown prince, and then reported with a heavy face: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess was supposed to give birth in ten days or so, but now because of the impact, the situation is very critical, and we have to induce labor in advance. It's just that..." At this point, the head of the hospital, Dawuti, paused slightly, as if he found it difficult to speak.

Keremu's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. He widened his eyes and shouted anxiously: "Just what? Don't hesitate, explain it to me clearly!"

Dawuti's face turned pale, and after hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to say, "Your Highness, since the Crown Princess was hit in the abdomen, the fetus is likely to have been affected. Even if we use the method of inducing labor to make the child born as soon as possible, there is a great risk, and it is very likely to cause postpartum hemorrhage..."

Hearing the word "heavy bleeding", Keremu was struck by lightning and his body trembled involuntarily. He instantly became extremely nervous, holding Dawuti's shoulders tightly with both hands like iron clamps, veins popping on his hands, and angrily shouted: "Since you already knew there would be such a possibility, why don't you find a way to stop it! What's the point of talking to me about this nonsense here? I don't know any medical skills!"

His sudden and violent reaction frightened Dawuti so much that he trembled all over and stammered, "Okay... okay, your humble servant... I will go to give the Crown Princess acupuncture right away. Please calm down, Your Highness!" After saying that, he turned around in a hurry and ran towards the delivery room, staggering as if there was a wolf chasing him.

During this time, Keremu's eyes flashed with a sharp and fierce light, like two cold rays shooting straight at Ziya, and he asked sternly: "What happened? Why did the Crown Princess suffer such a misfortune and be hit in the abdomen? Where were you at that time? And has the murderer been arrested?"

Ziya's heart trembled when he heard this. He immediately knelt on his knees, kowtowed and apologized, "I beg Your Highness to punish me. It is all because of my negligence! The murderer is the maid who served the Crown Princess. She has been imprisoned in the prison."

After that, he paused for a moment, and then continued, "When I and Bai Xi arrived, Bayer was protecting the Crown Princess, and Daer was lying on the ground, his life or death unknown. As for the details of this incident, only Bayer knows the inside story. But at this moment, Bayer is still in the delivery room accompanying the Crown Princess during childbirth, and cannot get away to report. Previously, we have never been able to find out who secretly murdered the Crown Princess, and I think it is very likely that it was this palace maid who did it!"

Keremu snorted coldly, his face gloomy as water, and ordered in a cold tone: "Quickly bring the palace maid here, I want to interrogate her personally, I also want to see who is behind the repeated murder of my Crown Princess!"

Ziya solemnly escorted the maid to the outside of Hanguli's bedroom. At this time, Keremu was standing there, his eyes as cold as frost in winter, shooting straight at the maid.

The maid's hair was tangled like a mess, and her pretty face was now covered with hideous marks of five fingers. The bright red marks seemed to tell of the atrocities she had just suffered. Not only that, there was a streak of blood at the corner of her mouth, which was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

When the maid's eyes met Keremu's, a chill ran straight up from her feet to her heart. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She knew very well what she was about to face.

At this moment, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from the bedroom. The voice came from Hanguli. This miserable scream cut through the sky and was horrifying. Hearing this scream, the last bit of luck in the palace maid's heart was gone.

Since it was a dead end anyway, she might as well give it a try. She grinned and sneered contemptuously, "Hmph, Your Highness, the Crown Princess has one foot in the gate of hell now. What awaits her will be two lives, one corpse! Are you heartbroken now? Hahaha..."

However, just when she was about to laugh out loud, Keremu suddenly made a lightning-fast move and ripped off the exquisite belt around her waist. His movements were so swift and fierce that she had no time to react. He quickly turned the belt in his hands a few times and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation, tightly blocking the laughter that was about to come out of her mouth.

At the same time, Keremu's other foot was not idle either. He stepped on the maid's knee with lightning speed. Instantly, a crisp "click" sound was heard, which was the horrifying sound of a bone breaking.

The sudden pain caused the maid to lose all control of her expression. Her eyes bulged outward in extreme pain, and her face turned red like a ripe apple. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead like a flood, and soon soaked her clothes.

However, because her mouth was tightly blocked by the belt, she couldn't scream even if she wanted to. The only thing she could hear was the low sobbing sound coming from her blocked mouth. Although the sound was not loud, it was full of endless pain and fear.

However, Keremu seemed to have no sympathy for the torture suffered by the maid in front of him. He looked down at the maid on the ground, looking like she was barely alive, with an expressionless look, like two sharp swords, piercing straight into the depths of the maid's soul.

Then, he spoke slowly, his tone extremely cold: "You have touched my Crown Princess, no matter what, you will be sentenced to death. However, if you can now honestly explain who instructed you to do this evil thing, I can consider giving you a quick death and allowing you to keep a complete body. But if you are stubborn and still loyal to the person behind the scenes and refuse to tell the truth, then I will definitely let you taste what it means to be worse off than dead and unable to die!"

After saying that, his sharp eyes shot at the maid like a cold light, not giving her the slightest chance to defend herself. Then, he suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Ziya who was standing beside him, and ordered in a cold tone: "Take this slave to the side immediately! Remember, every time the Crown Princess screams in pain, let this slave suffer ten times the pain, but do not hurt her life."
