Children of Loulan

Chapter 163 The Man Behind Old 2

Watching Dal's departing figure, Hanguli felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She thought to herself: I'm afraid the days ahead will no longer be peaceful. After all, this is the Xuanwang Mansion, which is completely different from the life in Yuexiju. As the Xuanwang of a country, with an extremely noble status, he was plotted to marry his father's woman, and he had to pretend to be seriously injured to cooperate with others' conspiracy. This kind of helplessness and sadness is really sigh-worthy.

Thinking about this, she slowly lay down and closed her eyes. Perhaps she was too tired. She fell asleep after closing her eyes for a while. Not long after she fell asleep,

The window on the other side was quietly opened from the outside, and a sturdy figure jumped in from the window. After he came in, he walked quietly behind Hanguli, took out a thin bamboo tube from his arms, and blew gently towards her head. A wisp of white smoke floated out of the bamboo tube.

The figure stood behind her for a while, stretched out his hand and gently pushed her. After making sure that she had fallen asleep, he walked directly into the inner room. He came to the bed, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Highness, she has fallen asleep!"

After hearing the sound, the seriously injured and unconscious person on the bed slowly opened his eyes, and his eagle-like sharp eyes fell on the man in front of him.

"Well, how is the investigation going?" His voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

"I have found out that this woman had been hooking up with the Second Prince three years ago. In order to stay with the Second Prince for a long time, she deliberately broke the Queen Mother's Jade Ruyi at a palace banquet three years ago, so that she was punished by the Queen Mother to go to Jingsi Residence. In order to let her leave the palace smoothly this time, the Second Prince even used the help of the Imperial Master!"

Listening to the man's report, Keremu slowly sat up. He didn't look sick at all, nor was he weak after being injured. He looked at the red silk in the room with cold eyes and sneered, "Borrow the hand of the state teacher? The second brother is really generous. The state teacher only owes the prime minister a favor. I didn't expect him to use it so easily. It seems that woman is very important to him!"

The person under the bed spoke again: "I think the Prime Minister and Concubine Xian are not aware of this matter!"

Keremu raised his eyebrows and said in a playful tone: "Oh? Really? That's very interesting!"

After saying that, Keremu got off the bed, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"What else did you find out? Keep talking!"

"In the past three years, although the Second Prince has had frequent contact with the Prime Minister, it seems that many things were not suggested by the Prime Minister. For example, last year, the murder case that caused a sensation in the city had evidence and witnesses, and the murderer had confessed. However, the murderer's mother-in-law, that is, the mother of the deceased, was a mute. Because she was illiterate, she would always go to the government office every day to dance and dance. At that time, everyone thought that she hated her daughter-in-law and wanted to execute her as soon as possible, but only the Second Prince saw the clue.

He felt that something was fishy, ​​so he sent someone to investigate carefully and found out that the daughter-in-law was innocent. It turned out that the reason she confessed was because the murderer bribed the jailer to let him into the cell quietly. After he went in, he threatened the woman that if she didn't confess, he would kill her mother-in-law. The woman had no choice but to confess. And the monk theft case two years ago, the second prince handled it very well without the help of the prime minister and the virtuous concubine! "

Keremu listened to the man's report and asked in a deep voice: "Ziya, tell me why you think the second brother is incapable of handling these matters?"

Ziya's tone was very respectful: "I think that the Second Prince seems to have grown up too fast. Three years ago, he was still a person who obeyed the arrangements of the Concubine Xian in everything, and even competed with the prince for the opportunity to build the West City. However, suddenly he fell and injured himself, and was unable to go to the border city. Not only that, he successfully convinced the Concubine Xian that it would be a good thing not to go to the border city. Then, there were rumors that the prince had murdered him. In the three years he was in the capital, he did almost nothing else but win people's hearts.

Whether it was the princes and nobles or the common people, he was everywhere doing good deeds. If it was someone I hadn't seen for three years, this change could be explained by him gradually learning these things, but the Second Prince changed overnight, which was too sudden. And I also felt that..."

At this point, Ziya paused for a moment before continuing, "How could someone with such means not realize that his biological mother died in a strange way?"

Keremu turned around and looked at Ziya: "So you think that it was that woman who was giving him advice all along!"

Ziya answered seriously, "Yes, Your Highness. And I also think that the relationship between the Second Prince and the Concubine is probably not as harmonious as before. After all, for a woman, the favor of the Imperial Master was used up. This is not only difficult for the Concubine to accept, but even the Prime Minister will not agree. However, the Second Prince still insisted on doing this. I guess he was ready to fall out with the Concubine and the Prime Minister."

Keremu narrowed his eyes slightly, raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, turned around, put his hands behind his back, looked at the back of the person sleeping on the recliner with a smile, and slowly said: "It seems that this woman has some skills!"

Ziya echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty. I also think this woman is quite capable, but I haven't had time to find out her background yet."

After thinking for a moment, Keremu said, "Well, there is no rush. Anyway, she is now in the palace. We can just find someone to keep an eye on her and see what she will do next."

Ziya nodded to show that he understood. Then Keremu asked, "How is the investigation into the murderer going?"

Ziya reported truthfully: "Your Highness, the murderer is definitely a Loulan citizen, but he is already dead and did not leave any clues. I suspect it was a dead soldier."

Keremu frowned and muttered to himself, "Death warriors..." He turned and looked out the window, his eyes becoming deep and sharp.

Keremu looked at the night outside with a gloomy face, tapping his fingers lightly on the windowsill. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Send someone to tell Mo Ming immediately to check the construction of West City carefully. Not only should we screen the people around us several times, but we should also be highly vigilant about the people and things working under us. It doesn't matter if it's a little tedious, but there must be no mistakes! Once you find a clue, don't make it public, let alone alert the enemy. Just keep an eye on it carefully!"

Ziya stood aside, listening to Keremu's instructions with a serious expression, and then responded respectfully: "Yes, I understand. Then about the murderer..."

Keremu interrupted Ziya and said with a cold look in his eyes: "There is nothing to investigate about the dead soldiers. Go and investigate what good things the second brother has done in the past three years and who he has helped. See if there is any trick here!"

Ziya frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, do you mean that there might be some false good news here?"

Keremu sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Some good things may be given to the second brother by God, but how can anyone always meet people who need help? This is all too coincidental!"
