Children of Loulan

Chapter 477 Meeting again

The queen also echoed, "Yes, those rebels are all ruthless people. They killed you! How can such a wound heal quickly?"

At this time, Hawul, Muzepal and Adi came over together. They bowed respectfully and then said, "Grandfather, grandmother, father, we are back."

The king opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, and looking at the vigorous young man in front of him, his mood immediately improved. He smiled and nodded, and asked, "Well, how is the investigation going?"

With a look of awe on his face, Ha Wuer held a memorial in both hands and carefully handed it to the king. Then he said respectfully, "Grandfather, this is a list of all the people that Uncle Three has placed in the palaces. Please take a look!"

The king took the memorial expressionlessly and nodded slightly to show that he understood it. However, he did not open it immediately to check it. Instead, he said calmly, "Well, you did a good job. Thank you for your hard work. I will check it carefully later. You can leave first!"

Upon hearing the king's order, Hawule and others quickly responded in unison: "Yes, thank you, grandfather!" Then they turned and left.

After they left, Keremu said slowly: "Father, today Princess Cheng came to see me specially. She confessed something to me. She said that she was the one who sent people to burn down the East Palace!"

Then, he added: "However, Princess Cheng also said that although she was the one who set the fire, she did not expect that it would kill the Crown Princess at that time. But it was also she who sent the news of Prince Cheng's rebellion out of the palace in advance, which enabled General An to enter the palace in time to rescue him."

The king asked with a look of suspicion on his face: "Then why did she set fire to the East Palace?" His brows were tightly furrowed and his eyes were fixed on Keremu.

Keremu explained: "My father, she did this to force my third brother to do something desperate!"

He paused, and then continued, "According to her, over the years, she witnessed her third brother frequently interacting with ministers in the palace, and even planted many of his own people in the palace. Not only that, she also knew that her third brother had ambitions to usurp the throne. However, she had no solid evidence to expose his crimes. In order to completely expose her third brother's true face, she took advantage of someone's report and had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure and set fire to the East Palace."

After hearing this, the king nodded slightly. His expression eased a little, but there was still a trace of doubt. He asked: "Then, did she expect that this fire would have such serious consequences?"

Keremu hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, she originally thought that since there were many guards in the East Palace, the fire would not spread too fiercely and cause too much damage. But she never expected that this fire would..." At this point, Keremu's voice gradually lowered.

The king was silent for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "So, although her actions were a bit extreme, she did uncover the Third Prince's conspiracy for us, so she did have some merit. However, she burned down the East Palace and killed the Crown Princess, which was also her fault."

Keremu quickly agreed, "Yes, so I think that when dealing with my third brother's rebellion, we should remove her from it to prevent her from being unnecessarily implicated."

The king stared at him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and said slowly: "But she killed your crown princess."

Keremu's face was solemn. He took a deep breath and then answered respectfully: "Father, I think that although the Crown Princess died without her hand, she had nothing to do with the rebellion. These are two completely different things and cannot be confused. Moreover, I also think that her merits far outweigh her faults. As for how to deal with her, I think we should make a long-term plan after the rebellion is completely resolved."

At the same time, in a small county town on the border, Hanguli and Baier, carrying carefully prepared gifts, slowly walked to the door of a house. They knocked on the door gently, making a "bang bang bang" sound.

After a while, the door opened and a stranger appeared at the door. He looked at the two women in front of him and asked in confusion, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Baier smiled and said softly, "Hello, this is my wife. We are new here and are unfamiliar with the place. A few days ago, we were fortunate to receive the enthusiastic help of Miss A Yuan, so I came here today to thank Miss A Yuan in person. May I ask if your master and his wife are at home?"

The man looked Hanguli and Bayer up and down, then said slowly: "The master and the mistress are both in the house, but I need to report to them first, so please wait here for a moment!"

Bayer nodded quickly and said, "Okay, thank you!" After that, the man turned and left, closing the door.

Time passed by little by little. After about a quarter of an hour, the door slowly opened again with a creaking sound. The man stood at the door with a big smile on his face and said respectfully, "You two, my master and mistress want to see you!"

Hanguli and Baier looked at each other and then walked into the house. They walked through the courtyard and came to the front hall, where they saw a man and a woman sitting in the main seat.

The two of them saluted politely first, then slowly raised their heads and looked at the two masters. However, the moment they saw the hostess's face clearly, they both froze in place as if they were cast under a spell.

At the same time, the hostess was also very surprised when she saw Hanguli and Bayer. She looked at them with astonishment, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

The host saw how excited they were and realized that they must be old acquaintances. So he hurriedly called out, "Madam, Madam?"

However, the hostess seemed to be completely immersed in her own thoughts and did not respond to the host's call. Seeing this, the host could not help but feel a little anxious and hurriedly called out again: "Madam!"

This shout finally brought the mistress back to her senses. She responded softly as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Husband!"

Seeing that the hostess finally responded, the male host asked directly, "Do you know each other?"

The hostess nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, I know him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hanguli, as if pushed by an invisible force, took a step forward excitedly, tightly grasped the hostess's arm, and shouted with a slightly trembling voice: "Miss, it's really you, Miss, you are still alive!"

As Hanguli spoke, her tears flowed down her cheeks like a flood. At the same time, Bayer also stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "This servant greets the young lady!"

It turned out that the hostess was none other than Ainuer who had mysteriously disappeared that year.

Ainur was in tears at this time. She said to Bayer, "Get up quickly!" and said to Hanguli with a smile, "Yes, I am still alive. How have you been these years?"

The host saw their appearance and thought to himself that they probably had a lot to say, so he quickly interrupted and said, "Madam, you guys chat first, I'll go prepare lunch." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out in a hurry without even waiting for a response.

Ai smiled slightly and said softly, "Come on, Hanguli, let's sit down and talk slowly." Her voice was gentle and kind, as if it could soothe all uneasiness.
