Children of Loulan

Chapter 168 Bayer's Doubts

Bayer was still a little unhappy, pouting and mumbling, "But Miss, they are just thinking about snatching the prince now? If so many people enter the palace at once, how can we fight?"

Hanguli raised a bitter smile, shook her head gently, and said calmly: "Don't worry, even if more women enter the Xuanwang Mansion, I won't care at all. Xuanwang is a favored son of heaven, and I am just an ordinary woman from the countryside, how can I match him?

Besides, I was once the king's beloved, so I am not worthy of the prince. It is only natural that he is indifferent and disgusted with me."

Hanguli's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and self-mockery, as if she had already accepted the arrangement of fate. Although she was born in a humble family and could not compare with those noble women, she was still the legal wife, and even if they entered the palace, they were still lower than her. But deep in her heart, there was still a trace of fluctuations brought by that handsome young man!

Bayer was still very worried and said: "But what if they covet your position as your wife?"

Hanguli's eyes flashed with a sly look, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it. Besides, let alone whether they will come or not, even if they really come, what will happen? Am I afraid of them?"

Bayer frowned and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you really not afraid? After all, they are outnumbered..."

Hanguli patted Bayer on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. I am here and will not let you suffer any injustice. Moreover, although they are numerous, they may not be able to make a difference. As long as we unite as one, we will be able to cope with any challenge. What's more, your lady is the legal wife, and they are just concubines!"

Bayer nodded, feeling a little more at ease. She knew her young lady was smart and clever, and if that day came, she would definitely come up with a good way to deal with those women who wanted to be Xuan Wang's concubine.

However, she still couldn't help but remind her: "Miss, then you..."

"Alright, Bayer!" Dar couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing that she was still nagging, he immediately interrupted her and said, "What's wrong with you? Why have you become so timid after entering the palace? Why are you so worried about things that haven't even happened yet?"

Hearing his sister's scolding, Bayer lowered his head and whispered, "I, I'm just worried that if something like today happens again in the future, I'm afraid that my mediocre skills won't be enough to protect the young lady!"

As she spoke, her eyes were slightly red. Seeing this, Hanguli immediately put down the book in her hand, stepped forward, hugged Bayer and comforted him, "No, you protected me very well today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my reputation would have been lost long ago!"

After listening to the conversation between the two, Dahl realized that something must have happened when she went out to mail the letter today, so she quickly asked: "What happened today? What happened?"

Hanguli looked at Dal with a flash of embarrassment in her eyes, but she still told her what happened today. It turned out that when Hanguli and Bayer were in the back garden, they were hugged from behind by the second prince who suddenly appeared. Fortunately, Bayer took action in time to prevent further development.

After hearing this, Daer's face turned very ugly. She said angrily, "What? Second Prince? How dare he? This is the Xuanwang Mansion. If someone finds out, then, the consequences will be disastrous."

Seeing his sister's angry face, Bayer said slowly: "I fought him, but I couldn't beat him!"

Dar looked at her sister's face full of grievance, and her heart softened. She knew that she had just said something too harsh, so she comforted her: "I'm sorry, sister misunderstood you. This matter is not your fault, but you don't have to worry too much. He won't come to the palace to look for the young lady again in the future!"

Baier looked puzzled: "Sister, how do you know?"

Dar didn't say anything but looked at Hanguli. After Hanguli took the two sisters to sit down, she looked at Bayer and patiently explained, "Have you forgotten what Aunt Mulian said when she came to see me? The Second Prince likes Xilin, and he also colluded with the National Master to marry Xilin to King Xuan for his happiness. I was just a chess piece that the Queen temporarily pulled in to destroy their plan, and it all happened too quickly, so the Second Prince who was outside the palace certainly didn't know about it. He probably thought the plan was successful and that I was Xilin, so he did that ridiculous thing!"

Bayer frowned and thought for a while, still a little puzzled and asked: "Then why did the young lady say it was a misunderstanding after the guards came? Wouldn't it be enough to just expose that he and Xilin had an affair?"

Dar looked at his stupid sister speechlessly and said unhappily, "Do you have any evidence?"

Baier looked at his sister in bewilderment: "No, no! But you can check!"

Dahl: "Investigate? How? Would they be stupid enough to leave evidence for you to investigate? Well, even if they can find some clues, isn't it ridiculous that the king sent people to investigate just because of your words? You should know that slandering the prince and the concubine for having an affair is punishable by death!"

Hearing his sister's well-founded words, Bayer wanted to struggle again and said unwillingly: "But even if we can't sue him for having an affair with a concubine, we can sue him for flirting with the princess. She's his own sister-in-law!"

Dar looked at his sister's innocent appearance, shook his head helplessly, and explained with a hint of doting and impatience in his tone: "Who would believe it? Then he will bite back and say that the young lady seduced him on purpose. At that time, do you think people will believe a woman with no background and humble origins, or a prince who has been doing good things for the people for many years?"

Bayer's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't know how to answer for a moment and stood there in a daze, muttering to himself, "Ah? What?" He seemed completely unable to understand this complicated situation.

Dal sighed. Seeing this, Hanguli poured two cups of tea and handed one to each of them. She explained, "Bayer, you have to know that the prince of a country is not only of noble status, but also the face of the country. His words and deeds represent the virtues of the country. If this happened in public, he would not be able to escape the blame. But only we know this matter. No matter what the facts are, it will only become my fault in the end, because everyone will think that a prince of a country can find any woman, so how could he fall in love with his sister-in-law? They will only think that I, the former king's beloved, am now married to a seriously injured and unconscious person. I can't stand the loneliness, so I seduced the second prince. I didn't want to seduce him, so I was angry and slandered him!"

After Hanguli finished speaking, she took a sip of tea, glanced at Bayer and continued, "Moreover, even if the Second Prince did something to me, this matter cannot be known to anyone, because the royal family will save face and kill me, so this matter can only be regarded as never happening."

Although Dahl knew this would be the result, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart after hearing it with her own ears. She was well aware of the dangers and complexities of the palace, and as a woman who could be manipulated by anyone, it was not easy for her to survive in such an environment.
