Children of Loulan

After Mu Lian took his hand away, the queen did not hesitate to use all her strength to swing her right arm and instantly flipped open the blood-red cloth. In an instant, a horrifying scene appeared before her eyes:

A middle-aged woman lay there quietly, her face as pale as paper, without any blood color; her bloodshot and scarlet eyes were wide open, as if she was looking through everyone and directly into the depths of their souls; and under those eyes, two shocking streams of blood and tears flowed, slowly sliding down her cheeks.

What is even more unbearable to look at is that this woman only has her upper body relatively intact, while her lower body has been completely destroyed beyond recognition, with blood and flesh all over the place, and it is even difficult to discern its original shape and outline.

This horrific scene was like an extremely sharp sword, piercing the queen's heart. Her breathing suddenly stopped, her head felt dizzy, her body shook uncontrollably, and she was about to faint.

Fortunately, Mu Lian, who was standing by, had been paying close attention to the queen's every move. He quickly stretched out his arm and firmly supported the queen's shaky body. With the support of Mu Lian's strong arms, the queen leaned on him for a while and finally came to her senses.

She opened her eyes wide, her eye sockets were bloodshot, her eyes were full of anger and fear, as if she was about to spit fire, and she roared in an extremely shrill voice:

"Who? Who did it?"

Facing the queen's sharp questioning, everyone kneeling on the ground bowed their heads and said nothing. No one dared to answer. Mu quickly pointed at one of the guards and ordered:

"Tell me! Explain to the Queen what is going on here."

The guard pointed out by Mu Lian had already been trembling all over by the queen's blazing anger, but since Mu Lian had pointed out that he should reply, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and tremble:

"Your Highness, I really don't know what happened here! I just heard a scream and rushed here. I saw that the huge rock was pressing down on Madam and her maidservant, and there were two other injured people lying next to them!"

When the queen heard that there were still injured people, she immediately perked up and continued to ask with sharp eyes:

"Two who?"

Guard: "I don't know him, but judging by his attire, he must be a good man!"

The queen looked straight at the guard and said:

"My beloved? Where is she? Let her come to see me!"

Guard: "Your Majesty, when I arrived, the man and his maid were injured and unconscious, and they haven't woken up yet..."

The guard pointed in a direction while speaking. The queen looked in the direction the guard pointed and saw that there were indeed two people lying not far from Mammy's body. However, she had not noticed them because her attention was focused on Mammy.

The queen walked quickly towards the two people, and when she saw the woman's face clearly, she was shocked. It was her, it was her, why was it her again!

She was very confused, and then turned to look at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground with an unhappy face and asked:

"Imperial Physician, how are they?"

Hearing the queen's question, the imperial physician kneeling beside her hurried forward and replied:

"Your Majesty, this man's foot was injured by a fall, and he was also weak due to long-term irregular diet. In addition, he was too frightened this time, which led to his coma. Her maid fell and injured her head, and fainted!"

After hearing what the imperial physician said, the queen understood that Hanguli was too frightened last time, which caused her to be unable to sleep at night, lose her appetite, and be haunted by nightmares all day long, which made her health deteriorate. Fortunately, she was not injured today, and she would know what happened when she woke up.

Just as the queen was about to speak again, she suddenly heard a sharp and thin eunuch singing: "The king has arrived!"

The crowd who had been kneeling on the ground heard the noise and shouted in unison:

"Your humble servant/servant/subordinate/subordinate pays homage to the king!"

The king saw people kneeling on the ground from afar, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone, stand up!"

Hearing the king's words, everyone slowly exhaled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

But they were finally able to get up, especially the imperial physician, who had to rely on the help of the medicine boy to stand up!

After the king told everyone to stand up, he walked quickly to the queen, supported her with one hand, and asked with concern:

"Queen, are you okay? I rushed here as soon as I heard the news!"

When the queen saw the king's concerned expression, her tense heart could no longer hold back. She immediately threw herself into the king's arms and cried bitterly, saying:

"My king, my nanny is dead. My nanny is dead. She will never come back and will never be able to take care of me again. She has always been by my side taking care of me since I was a child. Now she is gone, she is gone... wuwuwu!"

The queen spoke of her heartache in a very moving voice, causing everyone present to start weeping. Her action also instantly angered Concubine Xian, who was hiding in the crowd and watching the show.

She had been hiding here just to see the queen's grief-stricken look. At first, she felt relieved, but when the king came, that bitch actually threw herself into the king's arms and cried in front of so many people. She even called herself "I" to the king. It was really a disgrace to her as a queen.

Seeing the king hugging the queen tightly and constantly comforting her, she was so angry that her eyes were about to burst and she clenched her fists. After a moment, she immediately put on a smile and walked forward and said softly:

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, the Queen!"

The queen was crying hard, but after hearing the familiar voice, she immediately stopped crying, as if she suddenly remembered something, and looked at the virtuous concubine with fierce eyes.

When the king saw Concubine Xian's respectful look, he asked:

"Are you here too?"

When Concubine Xian looked up, she met the Queen's poisonous eyes. Seeing the Queen's face full of disbelief, the anger in her heart disappeared, and she even felt a little proud. However, she still pretended to be very sad and said:

"My lord, after paying my respects to the queen, I wanted to take a walk around the Imperial Garden. I didn't expect to see Madam and her maidservant as soon as I got here..."

"You saw it? And you were here the whole time?"

Before Concubine Xian could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Queen. She stared at Concubine Xian, thinking: Since Concubine Xian has been here the whole time, then this matter must be related to Concubine Xian. In order to find out whether Concubine Xian was lying, her eyes never left Concubine Xian's face. She seemed to be afraid of missing any expression or words of Concubine Xian.

The virtuous concubine was very proud of the queen's hostile and resentful look, but her face quickly revealed an innocent and frightened look, and she said in a slightly aggrieved tone:

"My Queen, why are you staring at me like that? I am really scared!"

While speaking, Concubine Xian deliberately lowered her head to make herself look even more pitiful and fragile. She knew that the king liked her this way the most. As expected, her clever performance successfully attracted the king's attention. After hearing Concubine Xian's words, he immediately turned around and looked at her with a sharp gaze!
