Children of Loulan

As soon as she stepped into the room, her eyes were attracted by Hanguli on the bed, and she also noticed Baier lying on the bed. Her sudden intrusion startled Dal, but Dal quickly recovered and bowed respectfully: "Greetings to the Lancai people!"

Dalan simply responded with a faint "hmm", then walked to the bedside impatiently, staring at the pale-faced Hanguli, and asked anxiously: "How is she now? And what happened yesterday? Tell me quickly!" Her voice was full of concern and worry, as if Hanguli's safety was more important than anything else.

Dar looked at her face full of worry, and his heart was moved. He thought: In this deep palace, except for the kind-hearted Lan Cairen in front of him, it would be difficult to find someone who truly cares about his beloved, right?

Thinking of this, Dal hurriedly whispered to comfort her: "Don't worry too much, Lan Cairen, sit down and rest for a while. Listen to me slowly." After that, he personally helped Lan Cairen to sit at the table and poured her a cup of hot tea.

After the Lancai people calmed down a little, Dahl took a deep breath, calmed down, and then told Dalan everything that happened yesterday afternoon. Her tone was calm and firm...

After she finished speaking, she looked at the person lying quietly on the bed with a face full of worry. Her eyes were full of pity and uneasiness. She muttered softly, as if she was talking to herself, or as if she was pouring out her heart to Dalan: "The young lady went through hardships on the way to the palace. She thought she would be better after entering the palace, but not long after entering the palace, she was seriously injured and fell into a coma. It is hard to predict whether she will live or die, and no one knows when she will wake up..."

However, at this moment, Dalan seemed to have turned a deaf ear to him and was lost in thought. After a moment, she suddenly raised her head and solemnly warned: "Dal, you must protect your master no matter what! I'm worried that someone might take advantage of her and harm her."

Hearing this, Dar stared at Dalan with suspicion, and asked in confusion: "Why is this happening? My young lady's life is hanging by a thread, and it is uncertain whether she will be good or bad. Besides, the young lady rarely interacts with people in the palace, and she has no enemies. Who would attack the young lady at this moment? Even if someone is really resentful, wouldn't it be more appropriate to sit back and do nothing? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to watch the young lady suffer torture? If you act rashly, it will easily expose yourself, and let the whole harem know that she is a clean killer, which will be of no benefit to her at all!"

Facing Dahl's question, Lan Cairen smiled and said softly: "You are still young after all and don't understand the complexity of this world. Especially in places with many women, there are many right and wrong. When there are many right and wrong, things will naturally become chaotic. In this situation, there will always be people who want to take advantage of the situation and seek personal gain for themselves.

However, benefits are always limited. When some people succeed, others fail. When benefits are unevenly distributed, conflicts and disputes will ensue.

Moreover, these so-called benefits are not eternal. Once they are obtained, they are quickly lost, and the recipients will become the laughing stock of the public and suffer endless ridicule and mockery. Those who have already obtained the benefits will often not let go easily, but will instead intensify their pursuit of more benefits. "

After saying this, Lan Cairen slowly stood up, looked at Hanguli who was still in a coma with a weary look in his eyes, and then said: "Now I am just an insignificant Cairen. The limit of what I can do is to protect her from those who want to take advantage of her misfortune and trample on her. As for other aspects, I really can't do anything."

Although Lan Cairen had taken refuge with Concubine Ru, she knew clearly in her heart that at this critical moment, Concubine Ru would never rescue Hanguli. After all, Hanguli had become a pawn in the struggle between the Queen and Concubine Xian. If she rescued Hanguli hastily at this moment, not only would she not gain any benefit, but she would also expose the "peaceful" appearance that she had worked hard to build for many years.

After saying that, Lan Cairen turned around and left without looking back, leaving Dahl standing there alone. She was motionless like a statue, and every word and sentence that Lan Cairen had just said kept echoing in her mind... Gradually, Dahl suddenly became enlightened...

It turned out that the queen had been so caring towards her own daughter that the newcomers who entered the harem with them mistakenly believed that the daughter was deeply loved by the queen. So, they all tried their best to curry favor with the daughter in an attempt to climb up to the queen's high branch.

However, at the moment, the young lady was seriously injured and still unconscious, but the queen could not wait for the young lady to wake up, and sent her back in the middle of the night. As a result, others would naturally think that the young lady had lost the queen's favor. And those who originally tried to get close to the queen through the young lady's back door, after being rejected by the young lady, I am afraid they will inevitably feel resentful.

However, now is the best time to kick someone when he is down. They will definitely not miss this opportunity. They might even come to mock him in person! Thinking of this, Dahl couldn't help but rub his temples gently. Although his head still hurt a little, the most important thing now was to protect his young lady.

At this moment, the Summer Palace was peaceful and tranquil. Madam Zhao and Lady Xi had already drunk several pots of fragrant tea and tasted two plates of snacks. Just as they felt their stomachs were filled with tea, a palace servant hurried over to report that the virtuous concubine had sobered up and was dressing up in her bedroom.

Hearing that Concubine Xian had finally stood up, the two people who had been lazily leaning on their chairs suddenly stood up as if they had been electrocuted, quickly shook off their clothes, carefully adjusted their makeup and appearance, and then sat down again slowly and gracefully.

"The virtuous concubine has arrived!"

Before she finished speaking, the two who had just sat down stood up again swiftly, bowed respectfully, and said in unison: "Your concubines/your concubines pay their respects to the virtuous concubine!"

Xian Fei walked past them gracefully, walked straight to the main seat, sat down gracefully, and then said, "We are all family, there is no need for you two sisters to be so reserved, please take a seat quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhao hurriedly bowed and thanked her: "Thank you, Madam Xianfei!"

The Western beauty beside him also echoed: "I thank the virtuous concubine!"

The virtuous concubine watched the two of them take their seats with a smile on her face, and then said slowly: "I'm so sorry to have kept you two waiting for so long. I drank a few too many glasses of wine yesterday, and I didn't expect to sleep so hard that I didn't even wake up until this time. Even Yumei forgot to wake me up." After she finished speaking, she glared at Yumei with pretended coquettishness.

Seeing this, Yumei knelt down and apologized: "I deserve to die. I saw that Your Majesty was sleeping so soundly that I couldn't bear to wake you up. Speaking of which, since entering the palace, especially after giving birth to the second prince, Your Majesty, you haven't slept so peacefully for a long time!"

Madam Zhao laughed and said, "That's right. Your Majesty has been working hard these years. Now that you can sleep so soundly, it's all thanks to someone as caring and thoughtful as Yumei. Don't blame her. I also told her not to wake you up so that you can sleep a little longer."
