Children of Loulan

Chapter 394 Night Talk

With Keremu's patient comfort, Hanguli gradually calmed down. Finally, the two of them leaned against each other and slowly walked back to the East Palace together, their figures gradually disappearing into the night.

As time went by, the weather became hotter and hotter. Without children around to play around, Hanguli's life seemed a little idle and lonely. So, whenever she had free time, she would take time to go to Huimin Hall for a walk. Sometimes, when the heat was unbearable, she chose to stay in the East Palace and make some cute clothes for the child who was about to be born in Dar's belly.

Looking at Dal's face, which was always filled with a happy smile because of the pregnancy of a new life, Hanguli's thoughts drifted away involuntarily. She thought of Bayer and Mo Ming, who still needed to keep in touch through letters. The deep friendship between them was touching, and Hanguli couldn't help but have an idea in her mind: Should I find an opportunity to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see if he could find a way to transfer Mo Ming back to the capital? In this way, Bayer and Mo Ming, the lovers, could be together.

At this time, a piece of good news came from the Cheng Palace - the Cheng Princess successfully gave birth to a daughter! This news was like a breeze, instantly blowing away the boredom of summer. After hearing this, Hanguli was overjoyed and immediately ordered her servants to carefully select a batch of high-quality gifts to send to the Cheng Palace to express her blessings for the newborn and congratulations to the Cheng Princess.

You know, in the palace, since the arrival of the eldest grandson, now adding a well-behaved and lovely granddaughter is undoubtedly a great joy. The entire palace is immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

However, when Ankar learned that his cousin gave birth to a girl, he was secretly relieved, but this sense of relief was fleeting. Because he knew the ambition of King Cheng very well, he was afraid that his family would be implicated. Therefore, even if he was a little relieved at this moment, Ankar still did not dare to take it lightly, because King Cheng would give birth to a son sooner or later.

After thinking over and over again, he finally had an idea and made up his mind - he thought of a good way to solve all the problems once and for all! So, when night fell, he sneaked towards the Chengwang Mansion carefully like a ghost, taking advantage of the pitch-black night.

With his familiarity with the terrain and his superb skills, he had no obstacles along the way and arrived smoothly at the room where his cousin, who was still in confinement, was. At this moment, everything was silent, and the whole world seemed to be immersed in a sweet dream.

A shadow climbed over the window like a ghost and landed lightly in the house. Surprisingly, the maids and servants in the house were all asleep and didn't notice anything. However, in order to ensure that this action would not be discovered by anyone, the thoughtful Ankar deliberately pressed the sleeping acupoints of everyone in the house except his cousin. After doing all this, he walked slowly to the bed with peace of mind.

He stretched out his hand, and gently pushed the person beside the bed, as if he was afraid of waking up a sleeping kitten. Princess Cheng woke up slowly in a daze. When she saw that the person who broke into her boudoir in the middle of the night was her cousin, she was surprised and opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to scream, but she quickly held it back.

Then, a puzzled look appeared in her beautiful eyes. She looked straight at Ankar and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why do you suddenly come to me so late?" As she spoke, she quickly sat up, hurriedly put on the coat that was placed aside, and waited for her cousin to give an answer with suspicion.

Ankar also lowered his voice through the thin bed curtains and whispered softly, "Little sister, I came to you so abruptly tonight because I have something extremely important to tell you in detail!"

At this moment, Princess Cheng was already dressed. She gently raised her hand and slowly lifted the bed curtain. She stared at Ankar standing beside the bed with her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Brother, I don't know why you are here this time, but you can tell me."

Ankar's eyes fell on the large bed, where a little girl who was only a few days old was lying quietly. Princess Cheng keenly noticed her brother's strange look, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart. She couldn't help but shout loudly: "Brother?"

Ankar's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: "This child is indeed very cute!" However, before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly returned to their previous coldness, as if the gentleness just now was only a flash in the pan, and then he said coldly: "Fortunately, she is just a girl."

Hearing this, Princess Cheng couldn't help but frown, looking puzzled, and asked, "Brother, what exactly do you mean by this?"

Ankar turned his gaze to Princess Cheng again, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Little sister, with your intelligence and wisdom, can't you see the ambition of King Cheng?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Cheng's body trembled. She slowly lowered her head and whispered softly, "His Highness, he..." But at this point, she seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if she had thousands of thoughts in her mind that were difficult to express.

Ankar sighed heavily, looked at his sister solemnly, and said slowly: "He is your husband and your support in the future, but I still want to remind you of something. You must know that when you give birth to a son one day in the future, he will definitely fight for the supreme position without hesitation and with all his strength. If he wins in the end and successfully ascends the throne, then the lineage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will probably face a catastrophe and be completely wiped out."

He paused and continued, "As the Yue family who fully supports him to ascend to the throne, will your mother's family also be regarded as the king's confidant and thorn in his side like the queen's family is now? By then, I'm afraid we will not be able to escape the bad luck and will most likely be ruthlessly suppressed or even purged. But if he unfortunately loses this power struggle, then what kind of involvement and consequences will you, his wife, and your entire family suffer? In this bloody and conspiracy-filled battle for the throne, no matter who wins or loses, innocent people will be involved and suffer unimaginable suffering and torture. And how can your mother's family protect themselves and survive in such a complex and dangerous situation?"

Princess Cheng gently stroked the child's porcelain-like cheek, her eyes full of affection, and she whispered, "Brother, I actually knew long ago that he married me because he coveted your ability and the military power held by my uncle. From now on, once he decides to usurp the throne, he will use any means to drag you into this mess and force you to collude with him. And I know it very clearly in my heart, that the reason why our family has been able to prosper and last until now is that we have never been involved in those complicated party disputes!"
