Children of Loulan

Xilin returned to her boudoir with her personal maid with a gloomy face.

"Immediately send a message to my cousin and tell her that I have found a very interesting person. Unfortunately, this person has already been favored by the queen. Although I have tried my best to win him over, she seems to be more inclined to the queen."

After hearing this, the maid showed a puzzled look on her face: "Miss, I really don't understand. This Hanguli looks ordinary and nothing special. Why did you tell the Concubine about this?"

Xilin glanced at the maid and sneered, "Just because she is so ordinary, yet she still consumes my thoughts, she is naturally unworthy of living in peace in this deep palace! Besides, this action can be regarded as an explanation to my cousin."

The maid suddenly understood and smiled flatteringly: "Young lady is wise, and I am stupid and did not understand the deep meaning. Concubine Xian ordered young lady to find a capable person for her, and it is really hard to find good talents in our courtyard. In this way, we can report to Concubine Xian and take the opportunity to eliminate the ignorant fool."

Xilin raised her eyebrows, revealing a nonchalant smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with fierce murderous intent:

"By the way, remember to tell your cousin that I will give her a big gift when she enters the palace. She will definitely like it!" Xilin's mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

"Yes." The maid responded and turned around to leave, wanting to pass the news to Concubine Xian as soon as possible.

However, just as the maid took two steps, she heard the young lady's shout from behind: "Wait a minute!"

She looked back subconsciously and saw Xilin looking at her with a smile and making a mysterious gesture towards her.

"Miss, do you have any other instructions?" the maid asked hurriedly, turning her head quickly and fixing her eyes on her young lady.

Xilin smiled softly, leaned close to the maid's ear, and whispered something. The maid listened attentively, not daring to be negligent. After Xilin finished speaking, she nodded, indicating that she understood what to do.

Then, the maid cautiously opened the door and walked out with light steps.

The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, and everything seemed exceptionally peaceful and tranquil. As if yesterday's events had never happened, everyone started the new day as usual.

As usual, Aunt Taji taught the girls diligently and conscientiously. After the class, she slowly returned to her room. Along the way, Aunt Taji was in a good mood because these girls were very smart and eager to learn, which made her feel very gratified.

When she walked to a rockery, perhaps she didn't pay attention to her feet, or perhaps a stone suddenly rolled down, in any case, this stone happened to trip her foot. With a cry of "Ouch", Auntie Taji lost her balance and fell to the ground.

She fell heavily to the ground without any preparation. Not only did she sprain her ankle, but she also cut her forehead. Blood flowed from the corners of her eyes, and the two maids were almost scared to death.

One of them carried the nanny on her back and walked towards the side room, while the other one quickly ran to find the court doctor. They were both nanny's personal maids, and if anything happened to the nanny, they would also be to blame. What's more, Nanny Taji was the queen's confidant.

When the court physician learned that Madam Taji had fallen, he immediately rushed over in a panic along with the maid. Although the bleeding on Madam Taji's head had stopped, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He hurried forward to carefully examine Madam Taji's wound, then took her pulse, cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and then checked the sprained ankle. He took out medicated wine to wipe and massage it. After this series of busy work, the court physician had a thin layer of sweat on his body.

Because in the entire City Lord's Mansion, it is not uncommon for a concubine to be injured, sick, or poisoned, but it is the first time that a nanny is injured. Moreover, this nanny is the queen's person. If she is not careful, her life will be in danger.

After he had completely treated Mammy's injuries, he raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said respectfully:

"Mammy, the wound on your forehead is not deep. If you take good care of it for a few days and change the dressing regularly, it will heal soon. The wound on your foot did not hurt the bones or fascia. After a few days of external application, I will prescribe two doses of internal medicine for you. You will recover in half a month at most. But you must not walk during this half month."

Although the palace doctor said that she was fine, the maid was still a little worried and asked: "Is Mammy really okay? She has lost so much blood!"

Seeing the maid's worry, the court physician nodded and comforted them: "Don't worry, young ladies. I have been practicing medicine for many years. How could I speak nonsense? Although it is a skin injury, you should not be careless. You still need careful care in the future. I will prescribe a few prescriptions and you can give them to Madam on time." As he said that, he picked up a pen and wrote down the prescription and handed it to them.

The two men took the prescription and held it tightly in their hands as if they were a treasure. After thanking her repeatedly, one of them carefully helped the nanny to rest, while the other quickly left to get the medicine and boil it.

When the ladies heard the news that the nanny had fallen, they all rushed over. When they arrived, the court physician was still examining the nanny. After hearing what the court physician said, they all breathed a sigh of relief and looked as if nothing had happened.

All of their expressions were seen by the nanny. She had been in the palace for many years and had seen too many people and things, so she had indirectly developed a pair of sharp eyes. She could basically guess what people were thinking just by looking at them a few more times.

Therefore, when her sharp eagle-like eyes swept through the crowd, it seemed as if she could see through everyone's true thoughts. She easily saw through the hypocritical masks of these showgirls, who were too lazy to even perform the most basic false care. Just as she was about to look away, she suddenly noticed two distinctive figures in the crowd.

The faces of these two people were expressionless, like a pool of stagnant water, and they seemed indifferent to everything happening around them, and they didn't even bother to pretend. They stood in the crowd so frankly, which made them particularly eye-catching.

And these two special people are Hanguli and Xilin.

The nanny stared at Hanguli closely, thinking to herself: "This Hanguli is really extraordinary. But for the sake of caution, we still have to send people to pay close attention to her words and deeds. After all, this selection is of great importance. It is to find a suitable candidate for the queen. There is no room for carelessness and we must be extremely careful!" After examining Hanguli,

Mammy's eyes immediately turned to Xilin, but at this moment, she was surprised to find that the corners of Xilin's mouth had unconsciously slightly raised. Mammy's face instantly became extremely cold.

It is said that there are many talents in this selection, and one of the girls has a special identity, she is the cousin of Concubine Xian. It is said that this cousin of Concubine Xian is still young, but she is scheming, ruthless, and decisive. Now it seems... I think the girl in front of me must be the cousin of Concubine Xian.

With just a quick glance, Auntie Taji noticed that Miss Xilin was unusual. Her determined eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, and her seemingly gentle face revealed a hint of cruelty.

This is obviously a person who will do anything to achieve his goal. Such people are often extremely dangerous. If they can be used properly, they may help others rise to the top; however, if they are used improperly, they will bite back and will not stop until they achieve their goal.

However, whether Miss Xilin will become the right-hand man of Concubine Xian in the future, or turn against Concubine Xian, it is still a big worry for the current queen. Thinking of this, Mammy secretly made up her mind that she must take the initiative before the other party takes action.

However, he was in Mo City at the moment, and he was responsible for ensuring the safety of these girls, so he could not act easily for the time being. Therefore, it was not convenient to act now, and he could only wait until he entered the palace in the future to capture her in one fell swoop.

When everyone heard that Aunt Taji was fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a few words and prepared to return to their rooms. At this moment, Hanguli also turned around, as if she wanted to leave. However, at the moment she turned around, she accidentally brushed past Dora. It was just that Hanguli's elbow gently rubbed against Dora's arm.

After the poisoning incident that damaged her appearance, Dora's temperament changed drastically and she almost never left her room. Not only that, she rarely visited her favorite dance studio and music studio. The long period of isolation made her temperament more irritable and she often beat and scolded her maids.

Seeing that it was Hanguli who touched her, the anger in her heart suddenly burst out. She stretched out her arm without hesitation and pushed with all her strength, knocking the defenseless Hanguli to the ground.

Dora kept cursing, "Bitch! It's you again, why is it always you!" Her tone was full of hatred and resentment.

However, what Dora didn't expect was that when she pushed Hanguli, she didn't notice that there was a maid behind her. The maid was holding the freshly boiled medicine in her hand and was about to send it to the nanny. As a result, she was knocked down by Hanguli, and the boiling medicine spilled all over the floor, splashing the surrounding ground.

This sudden change was like a bolt of thunder that struck everyone's heart. Everyone present was stunned and stood there in a daze, as if time had stopped.

Dahl even screamed: "Miss, how are you?" His voice was full of concern and anxiety.

She hurriedly stepped forward, trying to help her young lady up. Several servants beside her also rushed over and helped the maid who had been knocked to the ground.

After Hangu stood firm, Dar began to check whether Hanguli was injured. However, when he accidentally touched Hanguli's palm, Hanguli gasped softly and made a "hiss" sound. Dar was startled and quickly turned over Hanguli's palm to check. He saw that the originally delicate and white palm had been broken into several small wounds, and blood was oozing out of it.

It turned out that when she fell, Hanguli's palm was accidentally scratched by gravel on the ground. The maid was even more miserable, because the medicine she was holding had just been boiled, the temperature was extremely high, and it was so hot that several crystal clear blisters appeared on the maid's palm.

Seeing that so much trouble had been caused by her push, Dora was a little panicked, but she still looked arrogant and said to the girls who were looking at her unfriendly:

"What are you looking at? She bumped into me first, so she deserves it if I pushed her."

Her voice was not low, as if to show that she was right or to cover up her guilty conscience.

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from the group of concubines, saying very impolitely:

"Really? Then why did you push her and implicate the maid? She was holding the nanny's medicine in her hand!"
