Children of Loulan

Chapter 449 Uncle 2 is the most suspicious

Dahl stared at Baixi's pale face, her heart ached, her eyes gradually moistened, and a crystal teardrop quietly slid down her cheek. She stretched out her trembling hands and gently helped Baixi to tidy up his clothes, as if this was the last time she would do this for him.

Dar's voice was slightly choked with sobs, and he said softly: "Do you know? In fact, when I married you, I didn't have much feelings for you. The reason why I decided to marry you was entirely to be able to stay and take care of the young lady."

She sighed softly and continued, "I think you must have realized at the beginning that I didn't love you. But at that time I never thought that after we got married, you would be so caring to me. You kept every word I said in mind and always put me first in everything."

Dar's thoughts gradually drifted back to the past, recalling the moments they had spent together. His face showed a little more relief from the good memories, "Remember when we had Adi? I almost had a difficult birth when I gave birth to him. I was in pain for two days and one night before I gave birth to him with difficulty. And you, after seeing the pain I was in during childbirth, hugged me tightly, and tears flowed out like a flood. I cried for a long time, and since then, you refused to let me suffer the pain of giving birth again no matter what."

"It was you who melted my heart little by little with your sincerity and love, and made me fall in love with you involuntarily. I originally thought that we could go through all the ups and downs hand in hand in this life and grow old together. I even dreamed that after a hundred years, we must sleep in the same coffin, so that we can continue to be husband and wife in the next life."

At this point, Dar could no longer hold back the grief in her heart. She burst into tears and looked at her husband lying on the wooden board: "But...but now you suddenly left me, you...you left me alone like this. Without you, what should I do in the future?"

Adi sat quietly at the door, listening to his mother's sobbing voice, which was full of reluctance to let his father go. He clenched his teeth, but tears rushed out like a flood. However, he did not dare to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing his mother.

That night, the whole court was shocked by the news that the prince had been assassinated. The prince was seriously injured and still in a coma, with his life or death unknown. When Hawulet learned about this, he immediately asked the king for permission to personally investigate the case.

The king was furious when he heard that the prince had been assassinated. He never thought that such a thing would happen when he was getting old and had handed over many government affairs to the prince. It was obvious that behind this assassination was a fierce struggle for the throne.

Ha Wuer hurried back to the East Palace, thinking about his injured father Keremu. When he entered the room, he saw his father lying on the bed. Keremu's face was slightly pale due to the injury, and he looked a little weak.

Hanguli had just finished feeding Keremu medicine and was about to go out with the medicine bowl. When she saw Hawul coming back, she knew that the father and son had something to talk about, so she gently closed the door and left the space for the father and son.

Hawuer walked quickly to the bedside, bowed respectfully to his father, and then asked with concern: "Father, how do you feel?"

Keremu slowly opened his eyes, looked at his son, smiled and said, "It's okay, he's just injured, just rest for a few days."

Hawuer was relieved a little, and then said: "Father, I have been to the Ministry of Justice and asked about the assassins."

Keremu nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Ha Wuer took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "According to the assassins, they were recruited into the military camp more than ten years ago. However, they were not in an ordinary military camp all the time, but were sent to the mountains for training. About ten years ago, they suddenly received a mission, which seemed to be to rescue someone. But strangely, when their team was halfway there, they were told to change direction temporarily and change the military camp."

Keremu frowned slightly, thinking about the reason.

Hawul continued, "Since then, those thousands of people have been staying in the new military camp and have completely lost contact with the previous camp. And those people in the previous camp have also disappeared from the face of the earth, and there has been no news of them since."

Hawuer stared at Keremu with a firm gaze, and said slowly: "Father, I dare to guess that these people are most likely the rebels from more than ten years ago, Toheti's private soldiers. Back then, Toheti led more than 10,000 private soldiers to rob the execution ground, but was eventually defeated at the city gate and arrested and imprisoned. As far as I know, he should have arranged thousands of soldiers to meet him at the city gate, but for some reason these people did not show up. Now it seems that they must have been transferred away by others halfway along the way!"

After hearing this, Keremu looked puzzled and asked, "Toheti's private soldiers?"

Ha Wuer nodded affirmatively and continued to explain: "That's right, father. I specially checked the case files of that year and found that according to the confessions of those traitors, the military camp where they were stationed was exactly where Toheti raised his private soldiers. However, there is one thing I really can't figure out. Toheti and his family were executed according to the law. So who is controlling these soldiers now?"

Ha Wuer frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Although the only person who has some connection with Toheti is my second uncle, but judging from his performance over the years, he does not seem to be the kind of person who would deliberately fight for the throne. On the contrary, my third uncle has been eyeing my father's position as the crown prince for many years.

"Moreover, according to our previous investigation, the real leader of the Seven Stars Pavilion is my third uncle. In this case, the mastermind behind the Seven Stars Pavilion's assassination of my father must be my third uncle. However, who exactly ordered those soldiers? You know, if they hadn't acted in time, my father might not have been able to hold on until the reinforcements arrived, and the people from the Seven Stars Pavilion might have succeeded long ago."

"But according to the confessions of those soldiers, the order they received was to kill my father and destroy the Seven Star Pavilion at the same time when both father and the Seven Star Pavilion were defeated. This clearly shows that their master not only wants to get rid of my father, but also intends to eliminate Third Uncle."

Keremu listened carefully to his analysis, with a hint of relief in his eyes. He realized that his son had grown up and was able to understand the current situation, which made him feel extremely relieved.

Keremu's face was calm, and he said calmly: "It seems that all the clues and evidence point to your second uncle. So, do you think your second uncle's calmness and low-keyness over the years is just a disguise, or is it his true character?"

Ha Wuer thought for a moment, then shook his head slowly and replied, "I can't tell for sure whether my second uncle is pretending. However, there is one thing I am sure of. If I were my second uncle, I would never leave such an obvious handle."

Keremu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then said: "Is it possible that your second uncle deliberately did the opposite? As the saying goes, the most suspicious person is often the best at getting rid of suspicion."
