Children of Loulan

Chapter 239 Your sister-in-law is very nice

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xi immediately looked up at him, with a hint of surprise and a little bit of joy in his eyes. Baier looked at Keremu blankly, and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Keremu smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a deep meaning, and explained: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that this matter is just a misunderstanding, it's a blunder, but Baixi is also somewhat wrong, so he must be punished! Baixi, do you accept the punishment?"

Bai Xi nodded in understanding, lowered his head, and replied firmly: "I will accept your punishment, Your Majesty!"

Keremu nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Then the monthly salary you are fined for this month will belong to Dar. Do you have any objection?"

When Baixi heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was full of gratitude to Keremu. He shook his head frantically, indicating that he had no objection, and thanked the prince for his tolerance and understanding.

Keremu smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Okay, we can start eating!"

Hanguli turned to look at Keremu, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. She understood that Keremu's help was just to remind Baixi to bravely express his love to Daer, without interfering too much in the development of their relationship.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, a doorman walked into the room and respectfully reported that the King wanted to see him and brought an imperial edict. Upon hearing the news, Keremu and Hanguli looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

They secretly wondered what was so important that King Cheng had to come in person to read the imperial edict. Despite their doubts, Keremu and Hanguli decided to put down their bowls and chopsticks for the time being and go to the main hall with Baixi and Dal to meet King Cheng.

When they arrived at the main hall, King Cheng had been waiting for a long time. At this moment, King Cheng was sitting in the reception room, elegantly sipping a cup of hot tea. When he saw Keremu and Hanguli come in, King Cheng immediately put down the teacup in his hand.

He stood up and saluted them respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Brother Wang, Sister Wang!" Keremu's face was filled with a warm smile, and he responded cordially:

"Third brother, you don't have to be so polite. Please take a seat!" King Cheng nodded gratefully and sat back in his seat. At the same time, Keremu and Hanguli also sat down at the top.

Keremu looked at Batur, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Why did Third Brother have time to come to the Xuan Palace today?"

Batur quickly explained: "To be honest, I wanted to come visit you a long time ago, but I waited until today to find the time!"

Keremu smiled slightly: "Oh, it's okay. Knowing that my third brother cares about me, I am happy as the eldest brother."

Batuer asked with concern: "I wonder how is your injury now?"

Keremu chuckled and said, "It's okay now. Just take more rest!"

He glanced at the imperial edict in Batur's hand again and said, "Third brother, since you are here to read the imperial edict, let's listen to it first and then talk about the past."

As he said this, he looked outside the door and shouted, "Quick, someone come and set up the incense table!"

Batur immediately stopped him and said, "Hey, big brother, there's no need to set up the incense table. I can just give you the imperial edict directly. You are still injured now, how can you kneel before your brother!"

Keremu did not refuse: "In that case, thank you for your understanding, third brother!"

Batur: "Brother, you are too polite," he said as he handed over the imperial edict. Keremu slowly unfolded it. The more he read, the tighter his brows frowned. The imperial edict said that the three brothers should jointly investigate the fake stone and fake wood, but it did not clearly state the reason behind it.

He looked at Batur in confusion and asked, "Third brother, what happened? Are the stones and wood in the west city fake? When did you find out?"

Batur coughed lightly and said mysteriously, "Brother, we can talk about this slowly, but it's almost noon now!"

Keremu didn't understand what he meant, and asked in confusion: "Huh?"

Hanguli on the side reacted immediately. She smiled and pulled Keremu's sleeve, saying coquettishly: "Your Highness, we can indeed talk about this slowly, but... I'm a little hungry, why don't you go eat first!" After saying that, she deliberately touched her stomach to indicate that she was really hungry.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Batur again, with a hint of intimacy and expectation in her eyes: "I guess Third Brother has just come out of the palace and hasn't had his meal yet, why don't you stay and have some together?"

Batur was delighted when he heard this, but he still pretended to be reserved and said, "In that case, thank you very much, sister-in-law!" He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost starving, and now he could finally have a meal.

Hanguli stood up and said to Batur with a smile: "We are all family, why should we be polite!"

She turned to look at Keremu and said gently, "Your Highness, I will go and get ready. You will be here with my third brother in a while!"

After hearing what Hanguli said, Keremu suddenly realized. He looked at Hanguli with a satisfied smile on his face: "Well, okay, thank you, Princess!" The third brother was hungry, but was embarrassed to say it directly. Fortunately, she understood, otherwise there would be a huge misunderstanding!

Hanguli bowed to show respect to Keremu, and then bowed to Batur to show respect for the guest. After doing this, she turned around and walked out of the room lightly to arrange the kitchen to prepare meals.

After she left, Keremu glared at Batur and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "If you are hungry, just say so directly. Why do you have to go in a roundabout way?"

Batur scratched his head embarrassedly and explained with a smile: "Oh, this is my first visit and I come empty-handed. I don't know what my sister-in-law's temper is like. I'm afraid she will be unhappy!" In fact, he just wanted to test his sister-in-law who was once his father's concubine.

Keremu said unhappily, "Your sister-in-law is a very good person, kind and friendly to everyone. Besides, my dignified Xuanwang Mansion, do you think I need a meal from Your Highness Chengwang? How stingy! Really, what kind of person do you think your sister-in-law is!"

Batur smiled, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "Yes, I misunderstood. Next time, I will bring a generous gift to apologize to my sister-in-law!"

Keremu shook his head helplessly, then said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go, let's go and eat, we can talk business after eating!" The two of them walked towards the dining room together.

At the same time, Ankar also returned to his house. Yesterday, he learned the truth about Mo Ming's assassination. In order to ensure Mo Ming's safety, he took him to his house. At this moment, Mo Ming was still lying on the bed, with bandages wrapped around his body and his face as pale as paper.

Ankar walked into the room, looked at the weak Mo Ming on the bed, and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"

Mo Ming forced a smile and replied softly, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, General."

Ankar sighed, sat on the bed, and said in a heavy tone: "I reported this matter to the king in the court today!"

When Mo Ming heard the news, a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes. He panted and asked in a hoarse voice, "What did the king say?"

Ankar frowned and replied, "The king takes this matter very seriously and has sent King Xuan, King Xin, and King Cheng to investigate the case. The fact that the three princes of Loulan took action at the same time also shows the king's determination to investigate the case thoroughly."
