Children of Loulan

Chapter 127 Pretending to be sick

Seeing Bayer walk out with a sour face, Dal and Hanguli smiled at each other!

After the door was closed again, Dar asked worriedly, "Miss, what about those people outside? They are all the concubine's people. Now that you have woken up, if this matter gets to the concubine's ears, I am afraid there will be another wave of turmoil!"

Seeing Dal's worried expression, Hanguli chuckled and said calmly, "It's okay. As long as they keep the news of my awakening a secret from me, they will leave on their own initiative before the end of the year."

Dahl frowned, a trace of confusion appeared on his face, and asked in confusion: "Miss, what do you mean...?"

Hanguli's mouth corners slightly raised, a cunning look flashed in her eyes, and she explained softly: "Although they were all sent by Concubine Xian and Madam Zhao, there are only one or two people who really work for them, and the rest basically just took their money and helped to pass on the message. After all, a dying person like me is not worth them mobilizing a large number of manpower.

Moreover, they originally thought that I could only hold on for two or three days at most, but now, although I have been unconscious, I will not die for a while. And the people they sent must be insignificant little characters in their eyes.

If these small characters want to make merit and climb up the social ladder, they will not waste their time on a living dead like me. They will try every means to leave and fight for opportunities to make merit. Once they leave, the remaining ones who have received money will naturally stop giving money to the virtuous concubine if they have no new useful information. Without benefits, who would be willing to stay with a living dead like me who has no future? "

After listening to Hanguli's analysis, Dar felt a little relieved, but still a little worried and said: "But Miss, how can we be sure that they won't find any clues during this period..."

Hanguli waved her hand, interrupting Dar's words, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I have my own way. Just do as I say in the next few days and try not to arouse their suspicion. Even if you and Bayer will have to work hard to keep watch for me and keep looking sad and worried!"

Dahl nodded, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "It's not hard. It's my honor to serve you, young lady. I won't feel tired doing anything!"

Hanguli smiled slightly, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her voice and said, "However, we still have to let them see me lying unconscious in bed from time to time. Now there are only a dozen days left until the New Year. After those people leave, we can enjoy a happy New Year to our heart's content!"

Dar nodded gently in agreement and responded with a soft, "Yeah!"

While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door. Hearing this, Hanguli's heart tightened, and she quickly lay down, closed her eyes, and pretended to be still in a coma. Dar calmly shouted, "Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bayer led a maid into the room. The maid walked into the room carefully, holding a delicate meal in her hand. As soon as they entered the room, Bayer and Dal looked at each other, but in just a moment of eye contact, the two of them understood each other's intentions! Dal said: "Bayer, go get a basin of water, I want to wipe the lady's body!"

Bayer: "Sister, you haven't eaten properly for two days. How can your body handle it? I specially prepared some light food. Please eat a little! What if one day the young lady wakes up and you fall ill? What should we do?"

Dahl lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she responded softly: "Okay, then you put the food there and I will eat it later. The lady's clothes are dirty, I will get her a new one!" After that, she slowly stood up, glanced quickly at the maid, and then cast a meaningful look at Bayer, as if suggesting that she should go away with her.

Bayer immediately understood Dahl's intention, and she quickly replied: "Okay, sister, I will help you!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them walked towards the closet at the same time. On the surface, they seemed to be looking for a suitable dress, but in fact, their eyes were always fixed on the palace maid who had been moving slowly since entering the room. When the palace maid saw that the two of them had walked away, she carefully went forward to check on Hanguli's condition. After carefully observing Hanguli, she stretched out her fingers and gently touched Hanguli's breath. After confirming that Hanguli was still breathing, she tried to reach out and touch Hanguli's forehead.

At this moment, Bayer coughed violently: "Cough cough cough!" The palace maid was so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand, turned around and walked out!

After seeing the maid leave, Bayer hurried forward, gently closed the door, and leaned against the door to listen carefully to the noise outside. After confirming that there was no one outside, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked back with confidence: "Miss, it's safe now, the maid has left. Please get up and eat something quickly!"

After hearing what Bayer said, Hanguli slowly opened her eyes. At this time, Dar had already brought the food over. Looking at the only simple bowl of porridge and a very light dish on the tray, Hanguli couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why is there only so little?"

Bayer quickly replied, "Miss, if you think it's not enough, I can make something else."

Hanguli shook her head and said, "No, these are enough for me to eat. But if you do this, Dar, you will starve."

Dal smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, Miss. I won't be hungry. I'll take the opportunity to deliver the dishes to the kitchen and find something to eat in the kitchen. Anyway, their attention is focused here, and no one should notice what's happening in the kitchen. Besides, if we take too much food at once, it will arouse other people's suspicion!" Her tone was firm and confident!

Bayer also echoed, "Yes, Miss, because you have been unconscious, your servant and I can't eat much every day. It would be very strange if we could eat a lot all at once!"

After thinking for a while, Hanguli felt that what they said made sense, so she started to eat quietly! Seeing her wolfing down the porridge, the two sisters Dal and Baier were so happy!

At this moment, in the Summer Palace, Xilin was crying like a tearful person, kneeling in front of the virtuous concubine. After just a few days of not seeing each other, Xilin seemed to have aged several years in an instant, her whole body was in a trance, her skin had lost its luster, and became a little shriveled.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up, and asked with concern: "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

Xilin said with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, I...my mother is gone, but she has an aunt Kui by her side. She watched me grow up and has been with my mother since I was a child. Now my mother is gone, and Aunt Kui is all alone. I am really worried about her, so I came to ask my cousin to let me bring Aunt Kui into the palace and let her stay with me from now on!"
