Children of Loulan

However, fate played a trick on people, and the beauty passed away, leaving behind only endless sadness and longing. Yuexi Residence was gradually deserted, but it became an indelible source of pain in the heart of the late king. Whenever it was late at night, the late king would always stare into the distance silently, recalling the good times he had spent with her.

What's even more tragic is that she was already pregnant when she passed away, which undoubtedly made the already heavy blow to the late king even worse. Since then, the women in the harem were full of fear and taboos about Yuexiju, considering it an ominous place. They talked about it privately, saying that there was a gloomy and strange atmosphere there, as if there were vengeful spirits lingering there. As a result, Yuexiju was gradually forgotten in the dust of time, and no one cared about it.

So after her death, the late king never set foot in Yuexiju again, because he always remembered that Concubine Jing looked at him with a very resentful look, and he also promised Concubine Jing that he would never set foot in again.

Time flies, and years pass by. After several years, no one in the harem dared to mention the name Yuexiju anymore. The once glorious palace has now become a taboo place.

Later, the former queen, now the most noble queen mother, used Yuexiju as a place to house the concubines who were destined to die soon for various reasons. These women lost their vitality and hope because they offended the powerful, suffered from terminal illnesses, or were involved in the vortex of court struggles. In the end, they could only wait for death in this remote and quiet palace.

As time went by, people in the palace began to call Yuexi Residence "the residence of the dead" in private. This eerie name spread quickly, as if it meant that this place only accepted the souls of the dead. Whenever the sky darkened, shrill cries could be heard from Yuexi Residence; when the night wind blew, the wind chimes under the eaves made strange sounds. The entire palace was shrouded in a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere.

However, for the women living there, Yuexi Residence is not only the place where life ends, but also like a cage from which there is no escape.

Therefore, Lady Zhao proposed to Concubine Xian that Hanguli be arranged to live in Yuexi Residence! You know, no one who lived there before could survive for more than two months! The one who died the fastest had just moved in that day, but died in the middle of the night!

After hearing Madam Zhao's proposal, Concubine Xian secretly rejoiced in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. The eerie and terrifying place appeared in her mind, and the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly rise, obviously she was very satisfied with Madam Zhao's proposal.

After taking a sip of tea, Concubine Xian put down the teacup, slowly turned her gaze to Madam Zhao, and said softly: "Well, this is a great suggestion. Then, I'll leave this matter to you." Although her voice was soft, it carried an irresistible majesty.

Madam Zhao was stunned at first, then she replied respectfully: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best to handle this matter. But she has just been ill for a short time, so why not wait for two more days to see how she is doing. If she still hasn't improved by then, I will ask the Queen to move her to Yuexi Residence."

When Madam Zhao mentioned that she would ask the Queen for instructions, Concubine Xian's face suddenly darkened, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. However, Madam Zhao observed Concubine Xian's expression and immediately realized that Concubine Xian was unhappy, so she quickly added:

"I think to myself, if the queen can personally order Hanguli to move to Yuexiju, then everyone in the palace will definitely think that the queen has evil intentions, and will also wonder if they can have a good end if they are loyal to such a person. Naturally, no one will stand on her side. In this way, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

The gloomy face of Concubine Xian, who originally looked as ugly as ink, disappeared instantly after listening to Madam Zhao's reasonable explanation. Instead, she smiled as warm as the spring breeze, and even the corners of her mouth rose slightly unconsciously:

"Well, this is a great idea. Madam Zhao really took a lot of trouble!"

Seeing that Concubine Xian's mood had improved, Madam Zhao's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. After secretly letting out a sigh of relief, she hurriedly responded in a humble voice, "This is all within the scope of your status. I am terrified!"

Hanguli, who was in a coma, naturally had no idea about the conspiracy going on in the Summer Palace at the moment, and the two Dal sisters who were taking care of her wholeheartedly were also unaware of it. Not only that, in the following few days, Lancairen did successfully stop many people who wanted to come and ridicule or even speak ill of her under the pretext of visiting her, but what was worrying was that Hanguli's condition still did not improve at all. Instead, she often had symptoms of repeated fever and was always in a coma.

Until one night, Hanguli had a high fever again. The anxious Bayer could only run to find the imperial physician with tears in his eyes. However, the imperial physician he invited this time was not the one who diagnosed Hanguli's pulse a few days ago.

Looking at the unfamiliar imperial physician in front of him, Dahl couldn't help but feel a little alert, and cast his eyes to Bayer who was standing beside him. Bayer also looked at a loss, indicating that he knew nothing about the matter.

It turned out that when Bayer rushed to the Imperial Hospital in a panic, she was surprised to find that the imperial physician in front of her was the only one left in the entire hospital. She originally planned to ask the imperial physician who was responsible for treating the young lady before, but it was not until this moment that she realized that she did not even know the other person's name.

However, the young lady's condition is urgent and needs treatment. Bayer has no choice but to bring the imperial physician here. During this period, Dahl kept a close eye on the imperial physician. Although she knew nothing about medicine, she was still worried that the imperial physician would play tricks secretly.

Fortunately, the imperial physician was very professional and serious. He first carefully felt Hanguli's pulse and checked her wounds, and then carefully applied medicine. After that, he patiently waited for Hanguli's fever to subside. After her condition improved slightly, he slowly stood up and stared at the Dal sisters, as if he had something to say, but seemed a little hesitant.

Dahl noticed the doctor's strange behavior, so he decisively broke the silence and took the initiative to say: "If you have anything to say, please speak up!"

The imperial physician sighed and said, "Ms. Li's condition is not good. I'm afraid... Alas! Please forgive my poor medical skills."

The meaning of what he hadn't finished saying was very clear, and Dahl and Bayer understood it.

"How could this happen? What should we do?" Bayer asked anxiously.

"I can only prescribe some common prescriptions. Whether they will work or not depends on Li Liang's luck."

The imperial physician shook his head and continued, "In my opinion, the two girls should inform your mistress of this matter as soon as possible!"

After that, the imperial physician wrote down the prescription and then carried the medicine box and left. Dahl and Bayer looked at each other, and they were both a little uneasy.

Although they didn't quite believe the imperial physician and thought he was exaggerating, they realized that the young lady had been in a coma for several days and had no signs of waking up, and the previous imperial physician had also said that the young lady's condition was not optimistic. So the two sisters were very worried.

At this time, after leaving the Yunhe Palace, the imperial physician passed by the imperial garden and stood beside a rockery and said, "Mrs. Li is in critical condition!"
