Zhenbei Pass is the border between Bei'an and Da Zhou.
Murong Zheng asked the general guarding the border of the Great Zhou to marry the princess of the neighboring country. Is he worried that he has been in this position for too long and wants more challenges
It is common sense that neither Bei'an nor Da Zhou would be happy to see this marriage.
"Is there something wrong with your father's brain?" After being stunned for a long time, Ah Man suddenly spoke. She just thought that Murong Zheng was too special to Concubine Dong, but she didn't expect that he was so special to him that he even ignored his own country.
"He absolutely truly loves Concubine Dong." Without waiting for Murong Kai to respond, Ah Man added another attack.
Murong Zheng doesn't look like a foolish person. How could he do something like disregarding the country and the people for the sake of beauty
Besides, Concubine Dong was only of average appearance and well-maintained, but she was still a long way from being a stunning beauty who could bring disaster to the country.
"Many years ago, she saved my father's life. Since then, my father has basically obeyed her."
"Father agreed to this because he felt that everything was under his control."
"What if?" Ah Man looked at Murong Kai with burning eyes.
"What if? Father is sure that Concubine Dong truly loves him and will not endanger her throne. Even if this happens, she was able to sacrifice her life to save father, so she will not take his life now."
"So, as long as his own life was safe, he gave the kingdom to Concubine Dong Guifei to play with."
Murong Kai was immediately amused by Ah Man's words. Over the years, his father had been willful and allowed Concubine Dong to do whatever she wanted.
"My eldest brother has investigated. This time, Princess Jinxiu of Bei'an was allowed to marry into the Dong family. On the one hand, Concubine Dong wanted to form an alliance with Bei'an. On the other hand, your Bei'an is not stable either."
"What do you mean?"
When Murong Kai pointed out that Bei'an's internal affairs were unstable, Ah Man suddenly panicked.
She knew Bei'an too well and was too familiar with it, so familiar that she could foresee that something was going to happen, because Bei'an had been too peaceful during this period, so peaceful that nothing had happened, just like the calm before the storm.
"What else could we join forces with the Dong family for?" Murong Kai saw the worry in Ah Man's heart and asked calmly.
"Are you sure about this?" Ah Man asked about the cooperation between Bei'an and the Dong family.
Murong Kai nodded and said softly: "You saved me twice, I don't want you to fall into such an embarrassing situation like me."
What Murong Kai was referring to was Ah Man's situation in Bei'an. Although she was pampered by the Emperor of Bei'an and seemed to have a glorious life, all the hardships, conspiracies and intrigues were directed against her.
"Thank you." Ah Man said softly, his voice full of gratitude.
"If, I mean if, you really can't gain a foothold in Bei'an, come to Da Zhou to find me." Murong Kai thought about what his eldest brother had told him about the situation in Bei'an. When he looked at the woman in front of him, he felt even more worried. After hesitating for a long time, he finally did what he wanted.
Ah Man looked at Murong Kai and suddenly smiled. She patted Murong Kai on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I am in Bei'an. At least I am honored and favored. No matter how miserable I am, I can still save my life. But you, a dignified prince, are being plotted against by the favored concubine and even your life is in danger. If you can't protect yourself in Da Zhou, go to Bei'an. I can't promise you wealth and glory, but I can still give you a peaceful and smooth life."
Ah Man spoke softly, but her eyes were filled with bitterness. No one had ever said such words to her. Although these words sounded extremely unlucky, they were extremely heartwarming.
Murong Kai's words warmed Ah Man's heart, but Ah Man's words shocked Murong Kai, because Ah Man was right, her situation in the Great Zhou was indeed much worse than her situation in Bei'an.
Because the Queen and Concubine Jin were outside, Murong Kai and A'man didn't talk for long. A'man said goodbye and left, and Murong Kai looked at her back, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
