"What wonderful person? Her favorite thing to do is to trick people. This jade pendant is to trick you."
Ah Man looked at the young man in front of her who was full of resentment and could not help but chuckle. She remembered the light in his eyes when he mentioned the Empress Dowager. That sincere admiration could not be concealed.
"Then I am willing to fall into the trap. Anyway, I have this jade pendant to protect me. If your father does not punish Concubine Dong, I will kill her."
Ah Man spoke in a fierce tone, but nodded in approval after she finished speaking. Just looking at her like this, Murong Kai's heart softened.
Before he came to find Ah Man, his elder brother, who knew the Bei'an royal family best, had visited him and told him that Princess Jiaoyang of Bei'an was rumored to be not loyal enough. Although she had a fiery temper, she was actually kind-hearted and sympathetic to the weak and the poor.
"This time, father will give you, Bei'an, an explanation no matter what." Murong Kai sighed softly.
"The evidence hasn't been found yet." Ah Man couldn't help but remind Murong Kai.
"This is your Bei'an embassy. If you want to get evidence, it's just a matter of a word from you." Murong Kai couldn't help but remind her after all.
Ah Man was a little slow to react. This person changed too quickly. He said before that he would find a way to find evidence, but now...
Especially, how could something like fabricating evidence appear in Murong Kai's mouth
Everyone knows that Murong Kai is the most law-abiding among all the princes and always speaks his mind.
Ah Man even began to doubt whether the person in front of her was Murong Kai.
"Murong Kai, are you okay?"
"What can happen to me?" Murong Kai answered frankly, but lowered his head after he finished speaking.
Before, he was thinking about getting evidence, but it was too difficult to make his father change his mind towards Concubine Dong step by step. If his father didn't know his mistake, the one on Hanshan Mountain might still be unwilling to come back.
Also, it concerns the girl in front of him. She has defended him many times, and he can't let her suffer in vain. Besides, it's not just grievance at all. Concubine Dong clearly wants her life.
Since Concubine Dong was unkind, why did he pretend that everything was based on evidence
To deal with those who are unscrupulous, we must use all means possible.
"Do you need me to find someone to help you with this matter?"
As if to support his words, Murong Kai spoke again.
"I really need your help. Please bring out a piece of jewelry that is unique to Concubine Dong."
"no problem."
Murong Kai agreed readily. Both of them were smart people and they knew that the reason why it had to be unique was to frame him.
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Ah Man looked outside the door, where Qu Jingze and several envoys were waiting trembling with fear.
"If there's nothing else, you can go back first." Ah Man seemed to remember something and said softly to Murong Kai.
Murong Kai looked at Ah Man, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally said only one word: "Okay."
He put his hands on the table and was about to stand up when Ah Man suddenly said, "Don't worry. Someone, send the third prince back to the palace."
She didn't dare forget his leg injury, and she didn't know that her words had caused ripples in Murong Kai's heart.
Murong Kai left, and Qu Jingze and others hurried in. After paying their respects, they all looked up tremblingly, their eyes scanning Ah Man's body again and again.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Ah Man naturally knew what they were worried about. Not to mention her own health, even if she lost a hair, her father would not forgive them.
"It is our fault that we failed to protect the princess. We deserve death..." After hearing what Ah Man said, several people finally felt relieved, but they still had to take the blame for dereliction of duty.
"No need to die, I already know who is behind this, just help me deal with that person."
Ah Man's words were spoken in such an easy manner that the people kneeling there felt relieved of the pressure in their hearts and they all agreed.
The Emperor's favorite princess was nearly burned to death. Their inability to provide adequate protection was a serious crime, and the person who wanted to kill their princess was their common enemy. Not to mention dealing with him, they would kill him without hesitation.
