Children of Loulan

Chapter 191 The King Made a Mistake

There was a bright moon hanging in the night sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled in every corner of the Xuanwang Mansion. The whole mansion seemed to be covered with a layer of silver yarn, shining brightly. The breeze blew gently, and the trees swayed with it, making a slight rustling sound, like a gentle serenade.

In the back garden, there is a tall and ancient poplar tree, its crown spread out like an umbrella, with luxuriant branches and leaves. At this moment, the evening breeze is blowing the branches and leaves of the tree, as if they are dancing a happy dance.

However, under the tree, there stood a woman in a water blue dress. She stared quietly at a sky blue dress hanging in front of her, which was exactly the same as the water blue dress she was wearing.

The woman's eyes were dull, tears slowly slid down her beautiful cheeks, soaking her clothes. Time passed by little by little, she seemed to forget everything around her, just standing there silently, staring at the skirt.

Finally, she slowly raised her hand, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said in a weak voice: "I remember you said that if we have any worries, we can confide in the poplar tree, and then the poplar tree will convey our voices to each other's ears with the wind. But today, I have been waiting for you here for several hours, but I still haven't heard from you."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again and dripped onto the ground. She stretched out her trembling fingers and gently stroked the trunk of the poplar tree, as if she was talking to it: "Poplar tree, can you convey my worries and concerns to it?"

She stroked the trunk with a sad face and continued to talk to the poplar tree: "Where is she? Is she okay? If you can really convey my voice to her, please tell her to live well, take care of herself, and never return to Baiya Village." Then, she thought of the current situation of Ainur's eldest and third brothers, so she continued to confide in the tree: "Her eldest and third brothers are still in the hands of the second young master, waiting for her to fall into the trap. If one day in the future I have the strength, I will definitely help her rescue her two brothers and tell her not to worry!"

After saying this, Hanguli slowly retracted her hand from the tree trunk and turned to touch the sky-blue dress hanging in front of her, fluttering in the wind, but she grabbed nothing! She suddenly thought that some things are right in front of her, but they are not easily accessible.

At this time, Baier and Dar came over together, Dar holding a cloak in his hand. Dar gently put the cloak on Hanguli and comforted her, "Miss, it's cold at night, take care of yourself."

Hanguli slowly withdrew her hand, which was still suspended in the air after grabbing the air. Dal gathered her cloak for her and said, "Miss, it's late at night. Let's go back! If the young lady knew that you were so worried about her, she would be sad too!"

Hanguli nodded and took another look at the dress still hanging on the tree. Bayer took a step forward and tried to take it off. But just as she reached out her hand, she suddenly heard someone stepping on a branch in front of her. She immediately shouted, "Who? Come out."

As she spoke, she was ready to fight back at any time. Upon hearing the sound, Dar and Hanguli immediately walked over to her and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Bayer stopped them behind him with one hand and said, "There's someone over there!" Dal naturally believed in her sister's hearing, but she was also worried that her sister was no match for the other party, so she whispered to Hanguli, "Miss, please stand here and don't move. I'll go and see what's going on." After that, she took two steps in the direction Bayer pointed.

She looked calmly at the darkness over there, her eyes revealing a kind of confidence and majesty. She whispered: "Since you are here, come out." The voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. When she was unsure of the other party's intention, in order to protect the safety of the young lady, she could only use the power of the Xuanwang Mansion to continue saying: "This is the Xuanwang Mansion, there are many masters. If you want to hurt someone here, I am afraid you can't get out safely." The last sentence was a little threatening, which made people feel awe.

After she finished speaking, a figure suddenly walked out slowly from the shadows in front.

Bayer looked carefully at the place where the sound came from, his hands still kept the action of fighting the enemy at any time, and he remained alert at all times. When the other party approached, his face was clearly visible under the moonlight, and he was a handsome young man.

After the man came out, he said to Hanguli respectfully: "I am Ziya, your subordinate, and I accidentally frightened you. Please forgive me!"

At this time, Dar and Hanguli also came out from behind Baier. Seeing Ziya in front of him, Dar asked in surprise: "You...you are the personal guard beside the prince, why are you here?"

Ziya raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "I was on patrol tonight, and just found some movement here, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect it to be the princess. I am sorry for offending you."

Hanguli chuckled and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I just couldn't sleep so I came out for a walk." Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a stream of clear spring flowing by.

Dar held Hanguli with both hands and said to Ziya with a smile: "Since Ziya guards still have to patrol, we will not disturb them."

Ziya quickly saluted and said respectfully: "Your subordinate is seeing you off, Princess. May your journey be smooth!" His eyes revealed awe.

When Dar helped Hanguli turn around, he gently patted Bayer on the shoulder. Bayer came to her senses and realized that she was too nervous and almost attacked Ziya. She quickly retracted her gesture of preparing to attack, quickly stepped forward to take down the dress hanging on the tree, turned around and ran after Hanguli and the others.

When Hanguli and Dar left, a handsome young man suddenly appeared behind Ziya. The man was wearing a black robe, blending into the darkness. His appearance seemed to be born from the darkness, mysterious and frightening.

After the man came out, his eyes were fixed on the direction where Hanguli left, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes. He silently watched Hanguli's back as she walked away until she completely disappeared into the night.

Ziya looked at the man, his heart full of confusion and surprise. He asked cautiously: "Prince, why are you here!"

Keremu did not answer him immediately, but was silent for a while, then smiled thoughtfully: "It turns out that I have been wrong all along!"

Ziya asked in confusion: "Ah? What went wrong?"

Keremu's face was filled with smiles, his eyes sparkling. He gently stroked the pendant in his hand and said softly, "The person I have been asking you to find for the past few years is also the owner of this pendant. Now she is by my side and is my legitimate princess!"

Ziya stared at Keremu with eyes wide open, looking at him in astonishment, unable to believe his ears: "Ah? Your Majesty, you...are you saying that the princess is the Miss Ainur you have been looking for?"

Because he was not at the scene when Keremu accidentally bumped into his Hanguli, so he didn't know who his prince liked!
