Chapter 385 Surprise
Prince Xin came to offer condolences, and soon after, Concubine He's biological sister also met with an accident. However, there is one detail that is particularly eye-catching - during the three years when Concubine He was under house arrest, Prince Xin often went to the palace to visit Concubine Xian, and even stayed overnight in the palace.
After reading the letter, which was full of information, she slowly raised her hand and gently placed it over the candle. The flame instantly licked the paper, making a "crackling" sound, and soon burned the entire letter to ashes. Looking at the gradually dissipating embers, she nodded thoughtfully, having understood the deep meaning her father wanted to convey to her.
There is no doubt that the woman is most likely Concubine He. However, since she successfully regained the favor and Concubine Xian met with an accident, Prince Xin seemed to have disappeared, almost staying at home all day long. As a result, it seems that all contacts between the two have been cut off, so there is no way to find any useful clues.
So even though she had seen through the truth behind the incident, she was helpless and powerless. After all, she had no solid evidence. Even if she made the matter public, no one would believe her. Moreover, if Prince Xin knew that she had dared to go to her father to investigate the matter behind his back, she would not only be in danger, but her entire family would also be in danger. Therefore, after careful consideration, she finally decided to pretend that she knew nothing about the matter and quietly continue to be the Princess of Xin.
It was the New Year, and all the officials in the court were on holiday. In the early morning of that day, Keremu left the palace early with Hanguli and their child.
Hanguli sat in the spacious and comfortable carriage, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity. She kept looking at Keremu beside her and asked softly, "Your Highness, where are you going to take me and my child today?"
Keremu raised his lips slightly, revealing a doting smile, and replied softly: "Don't worry, Li'er, we are going to the house where we used to live - Xuanwang Mansion!"
When Hanguli heard this, a trace of doubt appeared on her face, and she asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the palace?"
Keremu smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "Because, I have specially prepared an unexpected surprise for you in the palace!"
Hanguli asked, "What's the surprise?"
Keremu gently reached out his hand, gently stroked her silky hair, and said softly: "Didn't I tell you, this is a big surprise. If I told you in advance, it wouldn't be a surprise! You have to wait until you see it for yourself!"
It was New Year's Day, and the streets were crowded with people going out. Some were in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing, and some were with their families, enjoying themselves. Hanguli sat quietly in the carriage, looking through the window, curiously looking at the smiling people outside. Looking at the prosperous and peaceful scene in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "This capital is really different! Look at these people, their faces are filled with happy and satisfied smiles, and their lives are so stable and peaceful."
However, when her thoughts drifted far away, she thought of her parents in her hometown. Shortly before the Chinese New Year, she sent a letter full of thoughts and concerns to her family, but until now, she still has not received any reply. She thought that maybe it was snowing again on the road, the road was blocked, and the letter could not be delivered smoothly.
Thinking of this, Hanguli's originally happy mood gradually became a little lonely. She slowly put down the car curtain in her hand, as if she wanted to cover up her sadness. Keremu, who was standing next to her, keenly noticed her mood change. He gently moved his body, approached Hanguli, and then gently hugged her with his warm and strong arms.
Not long after, the beautifully decorated carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the Xuanwang Mansion. Keremu was the first to jump off the carriage with the cute little prince in his arms. He carefully protected the child in his arms, with a loving smile on his face. Then, Hanguli also got off the carriage. Baier quickly reached out his hand to support her, and the two slowly got off the carriage.
Hanguli raised her head and her eyes fell on the magnificent plaque of Xuanwang Mansion hanging high above the gate. She couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year since we left this place!"
Keremu smiled and nodded, agreeing with Hanguli's words: "That's right. When we first moved into the East Palace, you were still pregnant. Now our child has grown so big." After saying that, he gently teased the little guy in his arms with his fingers, causing the child to let out a clear and pleasant laugh.
Then, the family walked briskly into the palace that was once so familiar to them. As soon as they stepped through the gate, they saw the spotless courtyard and neatly trimmed flowers and trees. Although they had not lived here for a long time, the entire palace still maintained its former neatness and cleanliness. Hanguli knew that even if they did not live here, there would still be someone taking care of it every day and cleaning every corner carefully.
Slowly walking through the front hall, Keremu carefully led Hanguli step by step towards the courtyard called Cuihua Courtyard. This courtyard was once Hanguli's residence and carried countless beautiful memories of her.
When they finally stepped into the courtyard, Hanguli's eyes were instantly attracted by a familiar figure. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and she stood there in a daze, as if she was cast under a spell, and her feet seemed to be rooted and unable to move at all.
Then, the second and third figures appeared in her sight. Then, a clear and kind voice called out, "Sister——"
This call was like a flash of lightning that pierced through the night sky, striking Hanguli's heartstrings and pulling her back to reality from her trance. In an instant, tears rushed out like a flood, flowing freely along her fair cheeks. She could no longer care about anything else, and took two steps at a time, running forward like an arrow from a bow, and then fell to her knees with a plop.
"Dad! Mom!" Hanguli cried heartbreakingly, her voice full of endless longing and pain. Seeing this, Han's father and mother hurried forward, wanting to reach out and help their beloved daughter up. However, tears had already blurred their eyes, and the grief made them weak all over. Their legs softened and they knelt down involuntarily.
In this way, the family hugged each other tightly and cried loudly. The cries intertwined and echoed over the entire courtyard, as if telling the world about the bitterness and pain since the separation.
Keremu held the child tightly, standing quietly outside the ancient and solemn gate of Cuihua Courtyard. His face was solemn, and his eyes were deeply staring at the delicate and lovable little guy in his arms. At this time, the courtyard was filled with cries of joy of reunion, as if to drown the entire courtyard in sorrow.
