The eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the ground felt chilled in their hearts after being shocked.
The emperor chose his beloved concubine over his own son, and this matter would probably not be known to others, so when they knew the result, it was basically doomed to death.
Ah Man and Concubine Jin seemed not to have heard anything. One of them supported Murong Kai's body while the other fed the medicine in the spoon into his mouth.
The guard ordered by the emperor stepped forward, but hesitated and dared not take any further action.
"Bring the antidote here and give it to the imperial concubine." Murong Zheng looked at Murong Kai and the other two, and finally closed his eyes.
"How many bites?"
Ah Man seemed not to have heard Murong Zheng's words, and suddenly asked Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin was stunned for a moment and replied, "The fourth bite."
"Feed him again." Ah Man said softly, and stretched out her hand to knock open Murong Kai's mouth again. Concubine Jin calmly handed the spoon into Murong Kai's mouth.
The guard looked at the emperor, who had his eyes closed and whose mood could not be told, and finally hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward to grab the bowl of medicine.
Seeing the guards moving, Ah Man took the medicine bowl from Concubine Jin's hand without caring that Murong Kai was still in her arms. She looked at Murong Zheng with the bowl in her hand and asked loudly, "Is the emperor ready to sacrifice his son to fulfill his love?"
Ah Man was talking about love, because apart from true love, she really couldn't explain Murong Kai's protection of Concubine Dong. Of course, this true love could only prove that Murong Zheng was extremely blind.
Ah Man's words were full of sarcasm, like an invisible slap in Murong Zheng's face.
Even though the result was like this, he couldn't say it directly in front of so many people.
"Then I should help the Third Prince to fulfill your love with the Imperial Concubine, which is so touching that it makes the worlds shake and the ghosts cry." As Ah Man spoke, she loosened her hand holding the medicine bowl.
Along with the crisp sound of the medicine bowl falling to the ground, Concubine Dong shouted hysterically and desperately: "No."
"How bold." Murong Zheng watched the medicine bowl shatter on the ground. In his ears, Concubine Dong's voice was like a sharp blade, cutting his heart.
"What? The emperor wants to kill me for your true love?" Ah Man stood up, took out a jade pendant from his waist, and held it in front of Murong Zheng.
The phoenix, which looked more and more like a fuzzy chicken, was now looking at him mockingly, which shattered his anger and made him panic and confused.
This jade pendant was sent to the Kingdom of Bei'an by his own hands. He could guess the identity of the girl in front of him. The Empress Dowager said that this woman would affect the relationship between Da Zhou and Bei'an. The Empress Dowager also said that this woman could poke a hole in the sky of Da Zhou, and he could only let it go, otherwise, it would affect the national destiny of Da Zhou.
He is the emperor, and he worked hard to win love for himself, but he cannot ignore the common people because of love. He should do something knowing it is impossible.
"You..." Murong Zheng was almost certain that this woman knew his role in the Great Zhou, but he also understood that it was impossible.
"If I don't want to, she will definitely die even if she drinks the antidote." Ah Man pointed at Concubine Dong, who looked dejected at the moment, and said word by word.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask him. The reason why Zui Beichun can become the secret medicine of the Bei'an royal family is because her real antidote is my blood. What was broken just now is just the medicine."
After Ah Man finished speaking, he looked at Murong Kai sarcastically, turned around, took out the knife from his sleeve, and cut his wrist without hesitation.
A streak of bright red instantly flowed across her wheat-colored skin. Without waiting for anyone to bring her a bowl, Ah Man placed her wrist next to Murong Kai's mouth, and blood slowly flowed into Murong Kai's mouth...
