Children of Loulan

Chapter 464 It’s Time to Grow Up

Bayer nodded. She had no choice now. In the next hour, Bayer hurried to find her husband. She told him everything that had happened and asked him to help her find a solution.

After hearing this, Mo Ming's face became very solemn. He knew that this matter was no trivial matter.

So he immediately arranged for Bayer and him to leave the capital in a reasonable manner in order to avoid arousing suspicion from others.

An hour passed quickly, and Bayer carefully led the woman through the secret passage of Prince Xuan's Mansion and sneaked into the East Palace like a ghost.

This secret passage was the first thing Keremu did after he was crowned as the crown prince and moved into the East Palace. It was like an underground secret passage that led directly to Hanguli's bedroom. He built this secret passage out of concern that if someone tried to seize his position as the crown prince in the future, this secret passage would be used to protect his crown princess and allow her to escape safely!

When Bayer and his companions finally arrived at Hanguli's bedroom, Mammy Ba was waiting there. However, when she saw the woman, she was also shocked, obviously surprised by this sudden situation.

Unlike Bayer, after learning the purpose of the woman's visit, Mammy Ba did not try to persuade the woman like she did, but quietly took out the Crown Princess's clothes and handed them to the woman. She seemed to have been prepared for all this.

In order to ensure that the plan could proceed smoothly, Mammy Ba gave Hanguli a sufficient amount of tranquilizing soup in advance. This soup has a strong medicinal effect and can quickly make people fall into a coma. After Hanguli fell into a deep sleep, Mammy Ba did not hesitate to let Bayer take her out of the secret passage.

However, just as Bayer was about to leave with Hanguli, Grandma Ba called her, "Baer, ​​take good care of the Crown Princess!"

When Bayer heard this, he subconsciously wanted to respond, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the extremely firm eyes of Mammy Ba and her sister. It was a look full of determination and resoluteness, as if they were ready to face all the consequences.

At this moment, Bayer seemed to come back to her senses. Her eyes widened and her face was filled with fear. She seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't dare to speak out her guess easily. Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice became a little stuttering: "You...what are you going to do?"

Seeing this, Mammy Ba raised her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. She said slowly, "I have served the Queen since I was young, and later I had the honor of serving the Crown Prince. When I was old and could leave the palace to enjoy my old age, I found that I had no family outside the palace. The Crown Prince took me in for his hard work. Although nominally I am just a servant of the Crown Princess, in fact, the Crown Princess has never treated me as a servant over the years and has always respected me very much."

Having said that, Mama Ba paused for a moment, then continued, "So, if something happens to the Crown Princess, how can I, a mama who has always been by her side, stay out of it?" Although her words were calm, the determination and firmness contained in them were self-evident.

Bayer's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, she couldn't believe her ears, "So you..."

She looked at her sister again and said with great sorrow: "Adi just lost his father, and now you want him to lose his mother? He is still so young, what are you going to do with him in the future?"

Thinking of her son, although Daer still felt a little reluctant, she could only smile helplessly and said softly, "He is not a child anymore, and it is time for him to grow up. Only by letting him learn to face everything independently can he better assist the little prince in the future. Besides, he still has you as his aunt, right?"

However, Bayer didn't think so. She widened her eyes and wanted to refute anxiously, but before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted by Mammy Ba beside her.

Mama Ba waved her hands and said earnestly: "We all know very well what we are doing, and we understand the interests involved. Think about it carefully, if something happens to the Crown Princess and we are still alive and well, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others. By then, I'm afraid we will be sent to the Ministry of Justice for severe torture! My old bones can't stand such torture." After saying that, she deliberately teased herself, as if to ease the tense atmosphere.

At this time, Dahl urged, "Well, it's getting late. You should take the Crown Princess away and leave the city as soon as possible to avoid endless troubles!"

Bayer's heart was filled with helplessness and pain. She could only accept this reality silently and left with the Crown Princess.

She drove the carriage out of the city when no one was paying attention. The sadness in her heart surged up like a tide, and tears flowed down her cheeks like a flood. She stretched out her hand and wanted to wipe away the tears, but she found that the tears were like beads that had broken off the string. No matter how hard she tried, she could not wipe them away. Instead, they kept coming more and more.

At the same time, she and Mo Ming had already discussed the plan. They decided to leave the capital together in the name of returning home to worship their ancestors. Baier would take Hanguli to the border of the Tang Dynasty, while Mo Ming would take another woman back to their hometown in the opposite direction. After they returned to their hometown, Mo Ming would pick them up.

Although she was in great pain, Bayer knew that she could not let Hanguli see her sadness. She held back her tears and concentrated on driving the carriage. In the afterglow of the Gobi Desert, she slowly left, leaving behind a series of lonely and desolate wheel tracks.

At this time in the palace, Batur listened to the eunuch's report and was almost shocked. He didn't know why the account books he hid in the secret room were easily searched out. He carefully recalled the people around him and guessed who might be the one who betrayed him.

At the same time, he knew very well that even if the account books were really found, he would not be able to sit still and wait for death. He had to rack his brains to come up with a perfect rebuttal strategy, because just relying on a few account books could not conclusively prove that these things were done by him.

After all, account books are just records, and he could easily argue that he was just keeping them for someone else, and then find a scapegoat to take the blame. In this way, there would be no substantial evidence to directly convict him!

While he was thinking hard about how to deal with it, the king had already carefully checked all the account books and secret letters. These account books were full of records of huge amounts of silver that came from unknown sources, and the whereabouts of these silvers were also recorded very vaguely, using some incomprehensible codes.

Looking at those secret letters again, they actually contained evidence of the ministers in the court! It turned out that Batur had been using these evidences to blackmail the ministers into working for him for so many years. He was so sinister!

After reading it, the king was so angry that he slammed the dragon table. He never expected that his son, whom he thought was always well-behaved, had actually been threatening court officials in private to do things for him.

However, what he didn't expect was that Batur's actions went far beyond this!

At this time, outside the palace, another piece of evidence was being secretly sent into the palace...
