Children of Loulan

Chapter 236: Concubine Xin King

Yumei nodded gratefully, but still said hesitantly: "I...I just remembered the old tutor and the queen..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was sternly interrupted by Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian suddenly shouted, "Shut up!" At the same time, she slammed the teacup in her hand, making a crisp "bang" sound. This sudden sound scared Yumei so much that she immediately lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The virtuous concubine looked at her fiercely, "The Grand Tutor and the Right Prime Minister back then both deserved their punishments, but my Prime Minister's entire family is full of loyal people, how can they be compared with them?"

When she heard Yumei's words, God knows how angry she was. It was also the first time that Yumei saw Concubine Xian get so angry with her. She immediately knelt down and said, "It was my fault for speaking out of turn. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was just, just worried..."

"No, it's absolutely impossible, Your Majesty won't! Your worry is totally unnecessary!" The Concubine interrupted her without even thinking, her voice was firm and unquestionable:

"The Grand Tutor and the Right Prime Minister back then were too self-righteous and didn't take the King seriously, so the King couldn't tolerate them. My Prime Minister's Office has always worked hard for the King until his death. Moreover, if the King really had that intention, he wouldn't have handed the safety of the entire royal family to my father. In this way, wouldn't the King have given my father a chance to fight him to the death? The King wouldn't be so stupid."

"But..." Yumei wanted to say something, but when she saw Concubine Xian's eyes, she swallowed her words back.

Concubine Xian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that Yumei was really doing this for her own good, but there were some things she had to stick to her own ideas and not be influenced by others. She believed that the king would not take action against the Prime Minister's Office because they had always been the king's most loyal supporters, and since the king ascended the throne, it had always been her father who had worked hard to stabilize the court situation for him. As long as the Prime Minister's Office continued to remain loyal, it would surely gain the king's trust and reuse.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian felt a little better. She looked at Yumei and said, "Yumei, I know you are worried that the Prime Minister's Mansion will repeat the mistakes of the Grand Tutor, but I believe that the King is a wise and intelligent monarch. He will not attack my father for no reason. Moreover, the incident in West City this time has nothing to do with my father, so put away your worries!"

Moreover, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been peacefully going on for so many years. If the king has that intention, why didn't he take action earlier, just like the Grand Tutor and the Right Prime Minister back then, who were eliminated soon after the king ascended the throne. So many years have passed, and my father has more or less gained some power of his own in the court. If the king takes action against him at this time, it will affect the entire body. Therefore, Concubine Xian doesn't believe that the king will let the court be in turmoil again just to get rid of my father!

Hearing Concubine Xian say this, Yumei nodded, indicating that she understood what Concubine Xian meant. She had always known that Concubine Xian loved the king very much and believed in him very much. Although she was still a little worried, she gradually put her mind at ease when she thought that the prime minister had been in the court for many years and would definitely be able to detect any disturbance in time!

The moment Xilin walked out of the Xianfei's bedroom, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she cursed in her heart: "How stupid! She is about to die, but she still acts so high and mighty. Well, let her live freely for a few more days. After all, she won't live for many days."

Then, she quickly returned to her bedroom, closed the door, and asked softly, "Aunt Kui, have our people retreated?"

Aunt Kui replied: "Not yet. The incident has just happened. If we evacuate hastily at this time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others. Therefore, now is not the best time to evacuate."

Xilin nodded to show her understanding, and continued to instruct: "Well, but you can't stay too long. When it's almost done, evacuate as soon as possible to avoid sacrificing your men's lives in vain. In addition, send someone to closely monitor the development of the situation. If necessary, you can secretly promote the progress of the incident, but remember not to let anyone find out the clues, so as not to be caught by others."

Aunt Aoi responded respectfully, "Yes."

Xilin walked to the bed, lay down comfortably, closed her eyes, sighed deeply, and showed an irrepressible smile on her face. She said to herself: "Now, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers and enjoy the show!" After the voice fell, she waved her hand casually, and Aunt Kui nodded knowingly, carefully lowered the bed curtain, and then quietly left the room.

After the morning court session, King Cheng prepared to go to the Xuan Palace with the imperial edict. He looked at Aidier and said, "Second brother, do you want to go with us?"

Aidier nodded: "No, my second brother still has some things to deal with, and the three of us brothers will work together in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet!"

Batur nodded, "Then I will go by myself. I said two days ago that I would go to visit my elder brother, but I never found the time. Today is a good time to bring the imperial edict to see my elder brother's injury!"

After saying goodbye, the two men rode their horses and galloped away in two directions.

At this time in the Xuan Palace, ever since they consummated their marriage, Keremu and Hanguli were filled with happiness and sweetness. Keremu's injuries had long been healed, but in order to deceive outsiders, he still pretended that his old injuries had not healed. Hanguli also acted like she was serving a patient. Seeing the prince and princess being so affectionate, Dal was the happiest person. Now the young lady didn't have to worry about her and her sister's future.

Seeing Dale's silly smile, Bai Xi couldn't help but stare at her curiously. Seeing that Dale didn't react, he moved his head closer. However, Dale seemed to be still immersed in his own world and didn't notice Bai Xi's presence at all.

Bai Xi's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and he muttered to himself: "Who is she thinking of? That's why she is laughing so happily and forgetting herself. She looks a bit like the prince when he was missing the princess. Wait, missing? Could it be that she has someone she likes?" This thought made Bai Xi's mood suddenly become heavy.

At this moment, Dahl was about to get up and go to the small kitchen to make snacks for the young lady and the prince. When she turned around, she suddenly saw a huge face in front of her, and she screamed: "Ah!" With a scream, Dahl instinctively took a step back, but because of panic, she lost her balance and her body immediately fell backwards.

Bai Xi, whose thoughts were interrupted by Dale's scream, came to his senses just in time to see Dale about to fall. He subconsciously reached out his hand to grab Dale.

Bai Xi grabbed Dale's arm in panic and pulled him back. However, due to excessive tension and excessive force, Dale fell directly into his arms.

Bai Xi suddenly felt someone bump into his arms, and he was startled because he knew who it was. He was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe, and his body froze in place, not daring to move.

He could only roll his eyes and look at Dahl who was clinging to his chest. Dahl was also very surprised and confused at the moment. She felt that she was about to fall to the ground, but was suddenly stopped by a soft force.
