Murong Kai was shocked by the result. He didn't expect that the antidote was in the hands of the Queen.
He never expected that his mother, who was deeply in love with his father, would one day plot against his father.
Murong Zheng felt a chill in his heart, but it was only for a moment, and then his heart warmed up. He had been neglected for so long, and had willingly assisted his father for so long, he must have been very disheartened to have such a calculating mind. If it weren't for this calculation, his father might not have discovered the good of his mother.
People always realize the value of something only when they are about to lose it.
"Besides, the timing isn't right yet." There was disappointment in Ah Man's voice when she mentioned the timing. Based on her understanding of Concubine Dong, she should be unable to bear it any longer. Why hasn't she made a move yet? It's really... It's so frustrating.
"Father has realized that he was wrong. He has been in a bad temper in the court these days. If he continues like this..." Murong Kai hesitated to speak. He had limited feelings for his father. What he was worried about now was that his father would not be able to control his emotions in the court.
"The Queen has given so much to him over the years, so it's only natural that he should be anxious. Otherwise, he will continue to trample on the Queen's efforts in the future."
Murong Kai wanted to say but, but he felt that what Ah Man said made sense. His father had enjoyed the love of his mother for so many years, and now it was time to pay the price.
"What timing are you talking about? Do you have any other plans? Does mother know? If possible, I'm willing to lend you a hand." Murong Kai spoke hesitantly. He was a little confused about the woman in front of him. She was as bright as the morning sun, but she was also very smart and not at all the spoiled girl as rumored.
"You dare to say anything. Help me. I want to poison your father. Will you help me too?"
"My mother would not poison my father, and neither would you." Murong Kai was very sure that his mother was the most kind-hearted person, and Ah Man was even more clear-minded, and they would never do anything to harm the relationship between the two countries.
"But others can." Ah Man said softly, with certainty in her smiling eyes.
"As long as it has nothing to do with you and the Queen Mother, it's fine." Murong Kai's answer was so frank that it shocked Ah Man.
"You also know that my father didn't have much love for me. I had expectations of him, but now, I am past the age of expecting fatherly love."
Murong Kai explained softly. He didn't want Ah Man to think that he was a cold-hearted person.
"Well, then you go back and wait."
"Waiting for what?"
"Of course, I am waiting for someone to murder your father."
Murong Kai was shocked. He didn't expect that Ah Man's words just now were not a joke. He stared at Ah Man blankly and asked softly, "Father, is your life in danger?"
He really didn't have much affection for his father, but he was his father and the favorite grandson of the old woman, the Empress Dowager. If something happened, he would be sad, and the Empress Dowager would be even more...
"Do you think your ancestor will let anything happen to your father?" Ah Man asked softly. What she heard most in the past few days in the Great Zhou was the story of Empress Dowager Long Zhanyan. She could conclude that the legendary woman could definitely foresee many things that would happen later.
Murong Kai didn't say anything else, but there was a hint of sadness on his face, which was completely different from when he came.
"Go back and take good care of yourself. These things have nothing to do with you in the first place, and they will never have anything to do with you in the future."
"What do these things have to do with you? Qu Jingze has forced my father to send Concubine Dong to Qingliang Palace. You have avenged your great hatred, so there is no need for you to get involved in this." After guessing that his mother was poisoned rather than sick, Murong Kai wondered about A'man's motives. She was a princess of Bei'an, and there was no need for her to get involved with the former dynasty and harem of the Great Zhou.
Murong Kai's question made Ah Man stunned. Before doing these things, she never thought about why she took action. It was because she felt unhappy with Concubine Dong and Murong Zheng. Now that she was asked about it, all she thought about was Murong Kai.
