Children of Loulan

Chapter 199 Want to make a deal with the prince

Hanguli lazily leaned on the couch, watching Dal skillfully brew tea for her with a dazed look in her eyes, but her thoughts drifted far away. She thought of the innocent and carefree Bayer again, and a strong desire to protect him surged in her heart. She knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and she had to plan a way out for the two sisters as soon as possible.

Recalling the scene when she changed the dressing for Keremu, the wound looked terrible, but when she looked closely, she found that it was almost healed. The reason why it looked so terrible was because a special medicine was sprinkled on the wound, which made the surface of the skin appear to be ulcerated. In addition, she remembered that on the wedding night, when she approached Keremu, she smelled that his medicine was not right, and she guessed at that time that King Xuan was pretending to be seriously injured.

It now appears that King Xuan has indeed been pretending to be sick, and everything he did was to confuse the murderer.

However, Aidil was very afraid of Keremu's recovery, so he was probably the mastermind behind the fight. However, no matter who won or lost in the fight, Hanguli would be caught in the middle and it would be difficult to escape, because the winner would most likely not let her go easily. Thinking of this, Hanguli felt helpless.

However, she knew very well that there was a world of difference between Prince Xin and Prince Xuan. Just seeing Prince Xin so frightened by Prince Xuan pretending to be paralyzed, she knew that Prince Xin could not defeat Prince Xuan at all.

Therefore, if she wanted to save Dal and Bayer, she could only start with King Xuan. However, whether it was a conspiracy or an open conspiracy, she was no match for King Xuan.

In this case, she could only bet on the character of King Xuan. She clearly remembered that on the way to the palace, when the wind and sand were raging, she was pushed outside the tarpaulin and the wind and sand immediately rolled her up. At that time, the young man pulled her into his arms without hesitation and protected her. Therefore, she was willing to believe that the young man would keep his promise and become an upright gentleman.

Moreover, she had no other choice. When Bayer and his maid brought in the cooked fish, she looked at Bayer and said softly, "Baier, you can keep this braised dish. I want to give this steamed dish to the prince. He is still injured and can only eat light food. I will visit him by the way..."

When Bayer heard that he wanted to take the steamed ones away, she responded readily: "Okay, take it. Eat it while it's hot. If it's cold, it won't taste good!" After saying this, she did not forget to give another reminder.

Hanguli chuckled and replied gently: "Okay, let the kitchen buy a few more fish tomorrow, and then you can eat it however you want!"

Bayer was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly responded: "Haha, OK, thank you, Miss!"

At this time, Dahl had already put the fish into the food box. While he was packing, he said to Bayer, "Okay, you eat first. The lady and I will take the fish over!"

Bayer was a little reluctant, but still nodded with a smile: "Then you should come back soon, this fish will not taste good if it gets cold!"

Hanguli smiled and nodded, then led Dar to Keremu's yard. When they arrived at the gate, Hanguli did not go in directly, but stopped and said to the guard at the gate: "Go and inform the prince, and tell him that I brought a steamed sea bass for him to taste!"

The guard at the gate responded and turned to go into the yard to report. After a while, the guard came out and said respectfully to Hanguli: "Your Majesty, please let the princess in!"

Hanguli smiled and nodded to the guards, then walked into the yard. Dar followed closely behind her, carrying an exquisite food box in his hand. They walked into the room together, only to see Keremu still lying quietly on the recliner. Hanguli took a step forward, bowed respectfully and said, "I pay my respects to the prince."

Keremu simply responded with a faint "Yeah!"

Dar followed Hanguli closely, bowed as well, and then carefully put down the food box in her hand. Then, she took the fish out of the food box, placed it gently on the table, and then stepped aside.

Hanguli said gently: "Your Majesty, I asked the kitchen to cook a delicious fish, and I brought it here for you to taste!"

Keremu looked at her with a hint of gratitude in his eyes and replied, "Princess, you are so thoughtful!"

Hanguli smiled slightly, then carefully picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to pick up the fish for Keremu. She carefully picked out every fish bone and made sure that the fish meat was free of any impurities before she put it to Keremu's mouth. Keremu happily enjoyed this delicious food, and soon, more than half of the fish had been eaten.

Keremu suddenly asked: "Why doesn't the princess eat?"

Hanguli shook her head gently and replied with a smile: "I am not hungry yet."

Keremu continued to ask: "Did Prince Xin tell you who the woman he likes is?"

When Hanguli heard his question, she paused, then put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for Keremu. When she picked up the hot tea, she glanced at Dal beside her, and Dal immediately understood and stepped out.

Hanguli sat back down beside Keremu and said to him with a smile, "Your Highness, please have some tea first!"

Keremu took the teacup, took a sip, looked at Hanguli, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and expectation, and asked softly: "Princess, do you have something to say to me?"

Hanguli took the teacup and placed it on the table next to her. Then she looked deeply at Keremu and answered firmly, "I know that the prince was tricked into marrying me, so I want to make a deal with him!"

Hearing this, Keremu frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He stared at Hanguli closely, trying to find the answer from her expression and words. He wondered in his heart whether the transaction Hanguli mentioned was related to Prince Xin.

Hanguli knew he was guessing, so she continued, "His Royal Highness Prince Xin is looking for me not because of the woman he likes, but because he wants me to be his secret agent in the palace."

Keremu frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Oh, there is such a thing? What benefits did he promise you?"

Hanguli lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then raised her head with a determined light in her eyes: "He promised to change my identity in the future, and then return to the palace and continue to be the king's concubine, or he gave me a sum of money and let me stay away from here and live in peace!"

Keremu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a barely perceptible sense of loss in his eyes: "Then what the princess means is..."

Hanguli took a deep breath and answered firmly, "I can be a double agent for the prince, passing on half-true and half-false news from the palace to him, and at the same time I can wait for an opportunity to steal evidence of him hurting you!"

Keremu raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing suspicion: "You said that the person who hurt me was His Royal Highness Prince Xin, do you have any evidence?"

Hanguli laughed softly, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "Since you woke up, His Royal Highness Prince Xin has come to check on your injuries from time to time. On the surface, he seems to care about you, but in fact, he is very afraid that you will recover. It is so obvious that he is guilty."

Hearing Hanguli's words, Keremu's heart was a little shaky. He asked tentatively: "Then why do you want to cooperate with me? I can't guarantee that I can let you enter the palace again?"
