Children of Loulan

Chapter 223 Matchmaking

Hanguli smiled slightly, as beautiful as a blooming spring flower, and replied softly: "Your Highness may not know that I have been working with all kinds of medicinal herbs since I was a child, and have been working in the medicine shop for many years. Besides, my sense of smell is indeed a little sharper than that of ordinary people. Therefore, the smell of the medicine before it touches the wound is completely different from the smell produced after it blends with the blood oozing from the wound! But on that day, although I smelled the smell of the medicine for serious injuries, it was clearly just the smell before it was used on the wound."

Keremu suddenly realized, "So that's it! That means that Li'er already knew that I was pretending to be seriously injured and unconscious at that time!"

Hanguli nodded and said, "That's right!"

Keremu nodded, "I see. Have you told your two maids about this?"

Hearing his question, Hanguli's heart suddenly tightened, as if being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and her face instantly turned extremely pale. She shook her head desperately and said in a trembling voice: "No, I know very well that this matter is of great importance, so I have never revealed a word to the two of them, and they have no idea about it!"

Seeing Hanguli so terrified, Keremu felt a sharp pain in his heart. He slowly moved forward, gently hugged Hanguli's soft and boneless body, and gently held her in his arms, allowing her to rest assured on his broad and solid chest.

"I understand that my Li'er chose to remain silent because she wanted to save their lives. At the same time, I also know that you were filled with worry and fear at that time. However, you don't have to worry about it now, because what you are worried about will never happen. Moreover, as long as I am here, I will do my best to protect the three of you, the master and the servant."

His tone was low and gentle, as if it carried a magical power that made people involuntarily indulge in it and believe it without a doubt. Hanguli quietly nestled in his warm embrace, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, like a well-behaved kitten. She responded softly: "Well, I believe what the prince said."

When he felt Hanguli's slender arms hugging him tightly, Keremu's face showed an unconcealable joy. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Hanguli's silky hair, his eyes full of affection and doting.

"By the way, Li'er, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you. Do you agree?"

Hanguli raised her head slightly, stared at him with her beautiful eyes, and asked curiously: "What is it? Do you need my nod?"

Keremu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Come with me." After that, he slowly stood up, reached out and gently took Hanguli's soft and boneless little hand, and walked to the window together.

After standing still, Keremu looked at Hanguli gently and motioned her to look out the window. Hanguli obediently turned her gaze to the window, and then saw a surprising scene - Daer carefully picked up a glass of water and slowly handed it to Baixi. When Baixi took the cup and drank the water, Daer's face was full of worry. He stood quietly by and gently stroked Baixi's back, as if to help him relax.

Seeing this, Hanguli could not help but feel very surprised and blurted out: "As a martial artist, Baixi should be physically strong. How could he be so weak? What is the purpose of your arrangement, Your Highness..."

At this point, she suddenly realized something and thought to herself, "What does your Highness mean by this? Seeing how worried Daer is at the moment, it is obvious that he knows nothing about Baixi's physical condition! He must have been deceived by Baixi, so he is so concerned.

Facing Hanguli's puzzled expression, Keremu smiled and explained in a gentle voice: "This is not my intentional arrangement. I just want to facilitate their good fortune. I wonder what Li'er thinks about this?"

Upon hearing this, Hanguli frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and asked, "Bring them together? But why?"

Keremu gently led her by the hand, walked slowly to the bedside, and sat down with her. His eyes were full of sincerity and determination, and he said softly:

"Because I can clearly see that Dal is indeed a very outstanding woman. And Baixi, has been following my mother since childhood and has received a good education and influence. After that, he went out to learn from a master, and after going through untold hardships, he developed superb martial arts and talents. Originally, with his conditions, he could live an ordinary and free life as he pleased. However, it was precisely because my mother had saved his parents' lives that he was grateful and came to me without hesitation, and always remained loyal. Over the years, he has assisted me wholeheartedly and has never slacked off. Moreover, for me, he is now 27 years old and has not yet started a family. I really can't stand those women in the outside world who curry favor with the powerful, change with the wind, and only care about power and status. I guess he himself is also so disdainful. Therefore..." Speaking of this, Keremu paused slightly.

Then he continued, "Although I did this mainly for Baixi's future, I solemnly promise you that he is definitely a good man! He will never do anything to let down or hurt Dal, please rest assured. The only drawback is that he is a little older than Dal." After saying these words, Keremu looked at Hanguli affectionately.

At this time, Hanguli's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile. She took the initiative to lean on Keremu's broad shoulders and responded in a gentle tone:

"I believe in what your Highness said. However, love is hard to force, and everything must be done according to Dal's personal wishes. If she also loves Baixi, then it would be great; but if she has someone in her heart who is not Baixi, I beg your Highness not to interfere too much..."

"Of course, if she doesn't want to, not only me, but even Baixi himself won't force her to do so," Keremu stared at Hanguli deeply, as if he could see through every thought in her heart. His voice was firm and powerful, full of understanding and tolerance, which made Hanguli feel extremely relieved.

Hanguli nodded slightly to show her agreement: "Well, then let's not interfere with each other and let them take their own course! After all, love is something that can't be forced." There was a hint of relief in her eyes, as if a huge stone in her heart had been put down.

Keremu nodded thoughtfully: "Well, but from what I see, Baixi seems to have already been moved. The look in his eyes when he looks at Daer is always full of tenderness and concern, an expression of emotion that cannot be concealed. And Daer, it seems that he has not yet noticed Baixi's feelings, but maybe it's just a matter of time. Everything depends on Baixi's performance next."

Hanguli couldn't help laughing out loud: "If they really get married, will the prince add more dowry to Dal, or give more betrothal gifts to Baixi?" There was a curiosity gleam in her eyes, and she was looking forward to Keremu's answer.
