"Murong Kai, you go back first. I'm going to take a rest." After a long silence, Ah Man mustered up the courage, whispered, and ran towards her dormitory.
Murong Kai did not leave obediently, but just followed behind her quietly. When she entered the dormitory and closed the door, Murong Kai quietly stood guard at the door.
"Ah Man, how do you want to deal with Su Jinxiu's matter? She..." Murong Kai suddenly remembered that the two of them had just left without caring about her. Compared to them, Su Jinxiu was in dire straits now.
"Dong Lanyang, how long will it take to get there?" Ah Man in the room still had a red face. When she heard Murong Kai change the subject, her heart finally stopped beating wildly and she asked softly.
"It should arrive tonight, but Su Jinxiu, I'm afraid..."
"Let the imperial physician think of a solution. If that doesn't work, we can put her in the carriage and go meet Dong Lanyang."
Murong Kai doubted his ears. If Su Jinxiu was allowed to meet Dong Lanyang now, it would be bad for the reputation of Bei'an women...
"no."
"If you feel distressed, then just go find Su Jinxiu."
"Ah Man, Su Jinxiu and I are not even acquaintances. She has brought this upon herself. I am just worried about your reputation."
Murong Kai only said it lightly, but Ah Man already understood. As both were Princess Bei'an, if something happened to Su Jinxiu, her own reputation would certainly be implicated.
"It's okay. I'll be leaving in a few days and will have nothing to do with Da Zhou anymore, so just go ahead and do it."
Ah Man has never cared about false things like reputation, not to mention that this is the Great Zhou. After he leaves, the road ahead will be long and the sky will be high. His reputation in the Great Zhou will not affect his own situation.
"I will find a way to handle it, and try not to involve your reputation." Murong Kai felt annoyed when he heard her say that she would have no relationship with the Great Zhou anymore, but he also knew that the most urgent task now was not to change Ah Man's mind.
"I'll ask someone to send Su Jinxiu to see Dong Lanyang. The imperial physician will follow and should be able to ensure her safety."
"After this incident, let them get married as soon as possible. I have to go back."
Ah Man was now impatient to go back. Firstly, she would feel relieved as long as Su Jinxiu married into the Dong family. Secondly, she was worried about her own mother. She was too proud and would be easily fooled if Su Jinxiu really had such a clumsy plan.
"Are you in such a hurry to go back?" Murong Kai didn't want to hear Ah Man's words about going back. No matter whether she was dealing with Concubine Dong or conspiring with the Queen, she never considered herself an outsider. But now she was eager to leave.
This realization made Murong Kai very angry, but no matter how much resentment he had, he was reluctant to tell Ah Man, so he could only endure it himself...
"The matter of Princess Jinxiu has been delayed because my father is in a bad mood. I will ask someone to urge him. Within ten days, I will let Su Jinxiu get married. After Su Jinxiu gets married, I will send you back to Bei'an, okay?"
This time, it was a discussion, but the result was already determined when he explained everything clearly.
Ah Man had no choice but to obey such a comfortable arrangement.
"After Su Jinxiu's wedding, I will leave with the delegation. There is no need for the Third Prince to escort me personally." Ah Man rejected Murong Kai's suggestion, but her face turned red uncontrollably while speaking.
Ah Man discovered that now it was not just Murong Kai himself, but even his voice that had magical power that could disturb her heart at any time.
"Murong Kai, you go back first. I want some quiet time." Ah Man couldn't help but chase him away again, but there was no sound of him leaving outside the door.
