Children of Loulan

Dar stared at Hanguli's painful face, her heart was in unbearable pain, tears kept rolling in her eyes, but she knew that this was not the time to cry. She quickly looked around, hoping that someone would come to help, but there was still no one around.

Anxious, Dar decided to take a risk and tried to attract others' attention by shouting loudly. Just as she was about to shout at the top of her lungs, she suddenly felt her hand being tightly grasped by a force. She lowered her head in astonishment and found that it was Hanguli who was holding her hand. Hanguli closed her eyes and shook her head gently, as if she wanted to convey some message. Then, she slowly opened her lips and uttered two words with difficulty:

"don't want……"

This brief and weak voice hit Dar's heart like a heavy hammer, making her realize that the pain that Hanguli was suffering at the moment was beyond the scope of words. Dar could no longer hold back her tears, but she did not dare to cry out loud, for she was afraid that Hanguli would feel even worse after hearing it.

So she quietly wiped away her tears and gently stroked the back of Hanguli's hand, indicating that she would obey her wishes. However, the anxiety deep in her heart surged up like a tide, and she could only silently accompany Hanguli.

When Madam Taji received the precious ginseng from the palace maid, she took her maid to Yunhe Palace. Since she was poisoned and returned to the palace, Madam Taji has rarely served the queen as before. It was not because she no longer favored the queen,

On the contrary, it was because the queen was too distressed that she was poisoned and dying, and she didn't want her to work hard for her in the last moments of her life. Therefore, the queen kept asking her to rest more and take good care of her body.

Aunt Taji was very aware of the queen's good intentions, and this special "grace" made her feel very warm. She understood that this was the queen's last favor to her, hoping that she could finish the last journey of her life in peace and stability.

Although she can no longer accompany the queen day and night like before, Aunt Taji knows that she will always remember this deep affection in her heart. At this moment, the only thing she can do is to accept the reality, cherish the remaining time, and make her departure more peaceful and serene...

However, before she left this world, she still had a sense of gratitude in her heart. This gratitude was like a heavy burden on her heart, and perhaps it would be difficult to repay it in this life, but she still wanted to do her best and use her last bit of strength to repay Hanguli who had saved her life twice.

So she went to ask the queen to let her visit Hanguli. The queen knew her intention and selected a top-quality ginseng as a gift for her.

This ginseng is not just a gift, it also represents the queen's care for Hanguli and the queen's appreciation for herself. With this precious gift and full of expectations, she set out on the road to Yunhe Temple.

However, she didn't know that a pair of eyes were quietly staring at her when she just stepped out of Kunning Palace. Behind her, a person dressed as a palace maid was quietly following her. When she reached the fork in the road, there were two paths to choose from: one was a shortcut, which required passing through the Imperial Garden, but a palace maid had reminded her in the morning that the rocks in the garden were loose and very dangerous; the second was a little farther.

Just as she decided to take the relatively safe road without hesitation, two palace maids suddenly came towards her. When they saw Aunt Taji, they immediately bowed respectfully and greeted her:

"This servant greets Madam!"

Facing the two unfamiliar maids, Madam Taji did not take them seriously, because as the highest-ranking madam under the queen, such maids would often greet her, so she was used to it.

So she just said "hmm" lightly, without stopping, nor even looking at the two maids. But just as she passed by the two maids, one of them whispered to the other:

"Let's hurry up, Madam Zhao is still waiting!"

Another maid said: "Well, we can catch up if we go through the Imperial Garden!"

When the nanny heard that they were also going to Yunhe Hall, and that they were planning to go to the Imperial Garden, she immediately turned around. She saw two palace maids who were probably only in their early twenties, and she felt sorry for them, so she said:

"stop!"

The palace maids who had turned around to leave suddenly became a little nervous when they heard the slightly stern voice of the nanny. They immediately knelt down uneasily, lowered their heads, and answered in fear:

"I wonder what instructions Madam has for me?"

Mammy stared expressionlessly at the two strange palace maids kneeling on the ground in front of her, wondering about their purpose and identity, but her eyes revealed a trace of unnoticeable compassion. After all, if she could save two young lives before she died, it might be a kind of comfort.

Thinking of this, the corners of Nanny's originally tense mouth slightly raised, and her tone became much gentler:

"Are you two also going to Yunhe Palace?"

The maid still lowered her head, not daring to look up.

"Yes, Mammy!"

Mammy: "The rockery in the Imperial Garden is loose and could fall at any time, so you should take another route!"

Her tone was much softer than before. After saying this, she turned around again and planned to leave. But just as she took two steps, she heard a maid behind her mumbling to herself, and then she said to another maid with some doubt:

"The rockery is loose? How is this possible... But, but I just saw a beloved man still inside!"

The palace maid said with horror on her face.

Another maid next to her frowned in confusion when she heard this:

"What dear? Are you seeing things?"

The maid shook her head desperately, her voice trembling slightly:

"No, it can't be! I saw it clearly, it seems to be the good man who killed the alien!"

Although her voice was not loud, Auntie Taji, who had just taken two steps, heard it clearly. Auntie Taji's face suddenly changed, and she immediately rushed forward like a gust of wind, grabbed the maid's arm, and asked sternly:

"You...what did you say? Which lover is in there? Tell me clearly!"

Her eyes were full of anxiety and nervousness, as if she was afraid of missing any details.

The maid was frightened by Madam Taji's sudden action and trembled all over. She stammered:

"It's...it's the Queen who sent...sent the imperial physician...that gentleman, well...I think his name is...Li Liangren!"

After confirming that the person in the Imperial Garden was Hanguli, Mammy Taji immediately let go of the maid. She ran towards the Imperial Garden without hesitation, the wind whistling in her ears and her heart beating like a war drum.

Just as she was sprinting towards the Imperial Garden, in a remote corner, a palace maid was carefully supporting a woman dressed in extremely luxurious clothes. The woman had a smug look on her face, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an unfathomable smile. The palace maid who was supporting her looked at her master's expression and asked softly:

"My queen, shall we go and join in the fun?" There was a hint of anticipation in her voice.

The elegant lady was all smiles.

"Of course, I have to go and see for myself how she died!"
