"They all want my life. If I leave now, it means I'm afraid. Am I, the Princess Jiaoyang, a coward?"
Ah Man asked Murong Kai, her eyes were burning with pride, making people's hearts confused.
"Then let's work together to find out the person behind this." Murong Kai's voice was soft, but the joy between his words could not be suppressed.
"You don't have to be so subtle. The only person I've offended in the Great Zhou who has the power to start this fire is Concubine Dong."
"I will find the evidence." Murong Kai promised softly. No one knew how serious and fearless he was in his heart when he spoke.
"Do you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Ah Man couldn't help but doubt Murong Kai's intentions. He wanted to use her knife to get rid of Concubine Dong. After all, the Great Zhou did not want to be enemies with Bei'an.
"I am the biological son of the emperor, and she will not be severely punished for harming me. Where does Princess Jiaoyang get the confidence that he will seek justice for you?"
Hearing this, Ah Man looked at Murong Kai. She couldn't even believe her ears. Has Murong Zheng's favor for Concubine Dong reached this point
"Your father, the emperor, wouldn't even care about the enmity between the two countries? I'm sure you've heard about how much he loves me."
Murong Kai did not comment, but just looked at Ah Man quietly, listening to her continue: "Then the Empress Dowager will not do anything about it? If he continues like this, there is really a possibility that people will suffer."
"Moreover, she wants my life. Even if I don't care about this matter, my father will not let it go."
Murong Kai listened to Ah Man's worried words, and was deeply moved. Even a Bei'an person was worried about the two countries becoming enemies, so how could his father...
"The jade pendant you carry can take her life. But if you really take her life, I'm afraid Bei'an and Da Zhou won't..."
"How can this jade pendant that looks like neither a bird nor a chicken actually have such a great function?" Ah Man took out the jade pendant on his body curiously and looked at it again and again. He sincerely felt that this jade pendant had no advantages except that it was carved ugly.
"The Grand Empress Dowager has saved the Great Zhou from danger several times and has given Great Zhou a new life. She rarely gives gifts to others. This jade pendant of yours is one of the few. Holding the jade pendant is like seeing the Grand Empress Dowager herself."
"Then why did she give it to me? I haven't even met her." Ah Man was even more confused. This jade pendant was a gift from the Great Zhou on her birthday more than ten years ago. It was only said that it was given by the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, and she was asked to wear it to ward off disasters and evil spirits.
The Queen Mother had naturally heard of the mystery of the Grand Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so she dared not disobey her instructions and strictly ordered her to bring the child with her.
Now looking at the jade pendant again and thinking of the legend of the Empress Dowager, she felt that the Empress Dowager seemed to have known about what had happened in the past few days.
"Can the Empress Dowager really predict the future..." Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, Ah Man's mind had already flown far away. If she could really predict what was happening now, was she giving her this jade pendant to let her become the one who dealt with Concubine Dong
"That old guy is really powerful, but..."
"What did you say? Old thing?" Ah Man heard Murong Kai speak, but couldn't help interrupting him. Although she didn't like etiquette, calling her great-grandmother an old thing was...
"It's the one on the Hidden Cold Mountain."
Seeing Murong Kai's frank answer, even though she was shocked in her heart, Ah Man couldn't say anything else.
"She doesn't mind being addressed. Not to mention being addressed, she even finds it troublesome for us to kneel down and bow."
Murong Kai patiently explained to Ah Man. He also realized that the way he addressed her just now was indeed a bit... so he naturally had to explain it back so that Ah Man would not leave a bad impression.
"That Empress Dowager is really a wonderful person." Ah Man naturally would not call the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou an old thing like Murong Kai did, but the previous respect was gone in her words, and she became more and more curious about her in her heart.
