Children of Loulan

Chapter 426 7 Star Pavilion

At the same time, Donggong Baixi walked into the study room with steady steps. After respectfully bowing to the crown prince, he reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, after an in-depth investigation, I finally found out that the mysterious assassin organization is called 'Seven Stars Pavilion'. It is understood that this organization has existed among the people for about five or six years."

"It is said that the assassins have all received strict training, and each of them is extraordinary and skilled in martial arts. They can be said to be the elite among the elites. What is more worth mentioning is that they have been active in places far away from the capital. In the past few years, they did take on the task of assassinating court officials, but the people they killed were all those corrupt officials who exploited the people and took bribes. Perhaps because of this, no one reported these things to the higher authorities."

Keremu frowned tightly and asked in confusion: "Since each of these people possesses high martial arts skills, why should they be afraid of the court knowing of their existence?"

Bai Xi hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I don't really know the reason for this. However, since the beginning of this year, they have gradually begun to accept orders from areas surrounding the capital. Judging from this situation, it may not be long before they will accept orders from inside the capital."

After hearing this, Keremu pondered for a moment, then ordered in an orderly manner: "Let's do this, Baixi, you go and investigate carefully. First, find out whether there are any innocent people who should not be killed among the people they have killed over the years; second, make sure to find out how to issue the assassination mission to them; finally, pass the order to all places in the capital to be vigilant and keep a close eye on those suspicious people and shops that may be hiding something fishy."

Bai Xi quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Highness! It's just that this suspicious person is relatively easy to track down, but it's a bit difficult to find a suspicious shop. After all, all the shops in the city have gone through formal procedures at the government office."

Keremu said seriously, "Go first. Remember, once you find any clues, don't act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy. Just monitor their every move secretly!"

When Bai Xi, who was standing nearby, heard this, he hurriedly responded respectfully, "Yes, sir!" and then carefully left the room.

On the other hand, Hanguli stayed by the Queen Mother's side and served her wholeheartedly from early morning until nightfall, and only left after it was completely dark. However, in the afternoon, she specially arranged for her three children to go to the Queen's palace to pay their respects to her. You know, Muzepal, as a grandson, is studying hard outside the palace. It would be unreasonable if he didn't go to pay his respects to the Queen's grandmother after finally returning.

When the night fell and the stars twinkled, Hanguli led the three children back to the East Palace. Keremu, who had been waiting for them for a long time, saw them finally return and hurriedly stepped forward to ask with concern: "How is the Queen Grandmother today? Is there anything wrong?" His bright eyes were full of worry and concern.

Hanguli patted his hand gently and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, I have already consulted the imperial physician in detail. Grandmother Wang is just in poor health due to her old age. As long as you take good care of her and let her rest for a while, she will recover soon!"

After hearing what Hanguli said, Keremu finally felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine..."

At this moment, he seemed to notice the three brothers and sisters standing behind Hanguli. They were neatly lined up and shouted in unison: "Father!"

Keremu smiled and nodded, saying: "Well, you're all back. It's rare that you three brothers and sisters are here today. In that case, let's have a good reunion dinner together as a family!" After that, he took the lead and walked towards the dining table, and the others followed and sat around.

The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, making people salivate. While everyone was enjoying the food, Partihan suddenly raised his head and looked curiously at his second brother Muzepal who was sitting next to him, and asked: "Second brother, I heard that you concealed your true identity in the academy, so what identity do you show to others?"

Muzepal smiled and replied slowly, "Oh, it's nothing special. I just made up an identity of a wealthy businessman for myself."

Upon hearing this, Partihan couldn't help but chuckle and said jokingly, "Rich businessman? We in the East Palace are not that rich, and we are far from being rich businessmen. Moreover, from ancient times to the present, people often say 'scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans', and merchants are ranked at the bottom! Second brother, aren't you afraid that your classmates in the academy will look down on you?"

Muzepal curled his lips nonchalantly, raised his chin and said arrogantly: "Humph, if you look down on others just because of their status, it only shows that they are nothing but hypocritical people who can only flatter and curry favor with the powerful. I don't even bother to make friends with people like this!" There was a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes.

Patihan blinked his bright eyes and asked curiously, "Brother, is there anyone like this in your college?"

Muzepal snorted softly and replied indignantly: "How could there be none! Although the teacher once taught us that everyone is an equal learner in the academy, there is actually still a few classmates who look down on me from the bottom of their hearts, and they often speak coldly and mock me!" He said these words nonchalantly!

Partihan opened her mouth in surprise, "Ah? There is such a thing! Aren't you angry, second brother? Why didn't you fabricate an identity as an official's son? That way no one would dare to look down on you like this." She blinked her eyes, looking innocent.

Upon hearing this, Muzepal turned his head abruptly, glanced at his sister fiercely, and said unhappily: "What a joke! In this entire capital, which official is worthy of pretending to be my father? Besides, the respect gained by relying on a high-ranking official's status is completely meaningless. I, Muzepal, don't care about it!" He straightened his back, his expression firm and confident.

After hearing this, Ha Wuer immediately showed appreciation on his face, and then he raised his thumb without hesitation and said loudly: "Well, second brother is really great!"

Hearing his elder brother's generous praise, Muzepal couldn't help but feel proud. His head, which was already high, was raised even higher. The corners of his mouth also slightly raised, revealing a smug smile, and he said, "Of course, I have always been upright and upright. How could I disdain to associate with those despicable villains!"

After that, he paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something important, and then suddenly changed the subject and asked Ha Wuer: "Brother, I overheard something in the palace today, and I don't know whether I should tell you or not..."
