With no other choice, Ah Man decided to crawl in through the dog hole by himself.
"A'man, don't do anything rash." Seeing that A'man was ready to crawl in through the dog hole, Chu Nanfeng's face became even uglier, and he hesitated to persuade A'man.
"Chu Nanfeng, if you still want to be with Sister Jinxiu, just follow me obediently."
Ah Man was fed up with Chu Nanfeng's monk chanting. After shouting loudly, he waved at the young man not far away.
The young man walked to Ah Man with difficulty, holding on to the wall. Just as he was about to bend over to listen to Ah Man, Ah Man pushed him to the ground and pointed his head towards the dog hole.
The boy struggled and was about to speak when he heard Ah Manhen's words, which were as if it was his due. She said, "Since it is you who found the place, you can help me try to see if I can get through first."
As he spoke, Ah Man did not forget to push the boy into the dog hole.
The boy was still struggling, but his legs were injured. He could only accept his fate after a few struggles and crawled into the palace through the dog hole.
When Ah Man successfully entered the palace through the dog hole, the first thing he saw was a young man squatting on the ground, wiping the dirt off his body with his hands with a look of disgust on his face.
"No need to clean up. I've seen you in even more miserable situations." Ah Man successfully entered the palace and had a better impression of the young man. She kindly reminded him, but she didn't expect that after hearing her words, the young man actually reached out and took a piece of grass from her head.
"Do you know where this is? How do we get to the palace where the emperor holds banquets?" Ah Man looked at the deserted palace in front of him and said to the young man with confidence.
The boy looked at Ah Man with surprise.
Breaking into the palace without any preparation, he didn't know whether to praise the girl's courage or laugh at her stupidity.
"Time is urgent. I don't have time to prepare. Can you take me with you? I saved your life."
Ah Man softened her voice and asked softly. Chu Nanfeng didn't even dare to enter the palace. All her hope now was the young man in front of her.
"I have already repaid you for saving my life. When I needed silver for medical treatment, you didn't give me the silver."
There was no resentment in the boy's calm voice, as if he was just stating a fact.
"Can I give you some money now? How much do you want?"
"I have no shortage of money now."
"I'm not familiar with this place. If I go out, I might be caught by the guards..."
Ah Man softened her voice. She had no way to beg for a hug, so she could only hope that the boy would be soft-hearted.
"If you're afraid of being caught, just go back. Not everyone can enter the palace."
"Then why did you let me in?" Ah Man glared at the young man while speaking.
"I'm repaying the favor."
Ah Man looked at the young man, trying hard to restrain herself from attacking the person in front of her. If it wasn't the wrong time and place, she really wanted to kill someone here and rob him.
"I can take you to the main hall. You can owe me a favor."
The young man suddenly spoke, making Ah Man glad that he had restrained himself and not killed him to silence him.
Of course, she automatically ignored the favor the boy mentioned.
As long as she could stop the marriage of Imperial Sister Jinxiu, she would return to Bei'an. This young man couldn't chase her to Bei'an to ask for a favor.
Because of this realization, Ah Man once again changed his impression of the boy. He was clearly a future sucker.
But when Ah Man helped the boy to the main hall, Ah Man was surprised to find that the boy was so familiar with the terrain of the palace, as if he was strolling in his own garden.
"Are you from the royal family?" Ah Man couldn't help but ask.
The young man looked at Ah Man and said softly, "I am Murong Kai."
Ah Man's legs could no longer move, and her beautiful eyes were filled with shock.
She had also heard of Murong Kai's name in Bei'an.
Murong Kai, the third son of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, learned to read at the age of two, learned martial arts at the age of three, and could unbutton a Linglong button at the age of five. The imperial tutor, Li Daxueshi, called him a rare young talent, a typical child of other people's family.
No one could connect the rumored young man with the dying man in a mass grave.
