Children of Loulan

Chapter 404 Writing a Letter



Chapter 404 Writing a Letter

Facing Ankar's questioning, Batur could not help but frown, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. First, the whole story was still unclear. Although all signs pointed to the concubine, there was no conclusive evidence to prove whether it was the concubine who did it. Second, the concubine was pregnant with a nearly four-month-old fetus. If she really made this mistake, according to common sense, she should wait until she gave birth to the child safely before taking any action.

At this moment, King Cheng's expression changed slightly, and this subtle change in expression did not escape Ankar's sharp eyes. He looked unhappy and said in a stiff tone: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you have something unspeakable in your heart! Could it be that the real murderer is of noble status and high status, so that even you, the prince, are afraid of him?"

At this time, Wu Mei rushed over, like a timely rain, and successfully rescued Batur. Wu Mei first explained to Ankar: "General, you are too serious. Your Majesty does not mean that. It is because there are still many doubts about this matter that have not been clarified, so Your Majesty dare not easily make a conclusion!" After that, Wu Mei turned to Batur, bowed respectfully, and said softly: "Hello, Your Majesty!"

After Ankar heard Wu Mei's words, his expression eased a little, but he still said seriously: "In this case, I will temporarily believe that the prince will seriously investigate this matter and make sure to seek justice for my little sister!"

Batur's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he said with a resolute look: "General, please be at ease. I swear here that I will thoroughly investigate the whole story, reveal the truth to the world, and give an explanation to the princess and the general!" His words were loud and clear, as if carrying a tremendous force, leaving no room for doubt.

At the same time, in the magnificent palace of the East Palace, the pregnant Hanguli was quietly lying on her side on the bed in the bedroom to take a nap. Her bulging belly indicated that a new life was about to come into the world. Bayer was like a loyal guard, quietly waiting by the bed. Ever since the Crown Princess became pregnant, there have been constant disturbances in the East Palace, and several attempts to murder her and the fetus in her belly have occurred one after another. However, the mastermind behind the scenes acted extremely secretly and his methods were even more insidious and cunning, so that the Crown Prince sent people to investigate several times, but still failed to find the real culprit. Now that the Crown Princess is about to give birth and the date of delivery is approaching, in order to keep the mother and child safe, Bayer dared not slack off and guarded her every moment.

On the other hand, Daer did not dare to take it lightly. He personally took over the Crown Princess's diet and daily life, and strictly checked the food, drinks and even daily necessities used to ensure that there was no mistake and no chance for those with ulterior motives to take advantage of it. The whole East Palace was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere. Everyone was silently praying that the Crown Princess could give birth to the child smoothly and survive this disaster safely.

Hanguli slowly opened her eyes and gradually regained consciousness. Bayer, who had been waiting for a long time, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to carefully help her up, and asked softly: "Crown Princess, you are finally awake! The kitchen has specially prepared some exquisite and delicious snacks. Do you want to eat some now?"

Hanguli nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I do feel a little hungry." Then, she let Bayer help her sit down at the table. The table was filled with all kinds of small and exquisite snacks, exuding an enticing aroma. However, Hanguli did not eat them with relish. She just picked up a few pieces and put them in her mouth to chew and taste them carefully. She took a sip of tea from the teacup and put down her chopsticks and stopped eating.

Baier looked worried when he saw how little Hanguli ate. He advised, "Crown Princess, why do you only eat so little? Eat two more pieces! These are vegetarian snacks made with fresh vegetables and tofu. They will not have any adverse effects on your body."

Hanguli smiled and waved her hands, explaining: "Although these are vegetarian, they cannot be consumed in excess. Seeing that the baby in my belly is about to be born, I have to control my diet a little in the next few days, so that I can suffer less during the birth."

Although Bayer had never experienced the pain of childbirth, she knew that giving birth was as dangerous as stepping into the gates of hell. So she stopped forcing Hanguli to continue eating and said, "In that case, why don't we go out for a walk and get some sun? Breathing some fresh air and moving your body will be good for you and the baby in your belly."

Hanguli smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Yes, that's true. We should walk around more often and stretch our muscles." Bayer carefully supported Hanguli and walked out of the room slowly. The two walked side by side, bathing in the warm sunshine, and walked leisurely. Along the way, they talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

As they were walking, Hanguli suddenly turned her head curiously to look at Bayer and asked, "Baier, why do I notice that I haven't seen you write to Captain Mo recently? Are you two having a quarrel?"

Bayer couldn't help but laugh softly when he heard this, and replied coquettishly: "Oh, look at what you said, it's impossible! He doesn't dare to quarrel with me!"

At this time, Dal walked towards them with light steps. She was holding a pot of steaming tea in her hand and said with a smile: "Haha, that's right! He doesn't dare to marry you before you are officially married. He is afraid that you will be angry and refuse to marry him!" Then, Dal handed the tea in his hand to Hanguli. Hanguli took the teapot and took a sip. She felt that the fragrance was refreshing.

Hearing this, Bayer was not happy. She raised her chin and retorted confidently: "Humph, even if I really marry him in the future, he still won't dare to do anything to me! If he dares to bully me, I will beat him into submission with one punch!" As she said this, she even made a fist gesture!

Seeing this, Hanguli couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "If that's the case, why have you been communicating less recently?"

Bayer lowered his eyes slightly and explained, "In fact, we still keep in touch, but not as often as before. I have already told him before that the Crown Princess is about to give birth, and I need to stay by your side and take care of you wholeheartedly. I really can't spare much time to reply to his letter."

Hanguli smiled softly and said coquettishly: "Oh, it's not that you don't even have time to write a letter. Besides, you don't have to wait by my side all the time. There are many palace maids here to serve you attentively. How can you miss a little while!"

Hanguli was full of doubts and confusion about Bayer's excessive worry. In fact, there had been several attempts to harm the fetus in her belly before, but she was kept in the dark about these things. The prince, out of love for the princess, was worried that she would be frightened and affect her body and the fetus, so he ordered everyone who knew about this to keep it secret from her. Hearing Hanguli's words, Bayer didn't know how to respond for a moment.
