Ah Man's face turned red as she thought of Murong Kai outside the door.
In this relatively silent space, all that lingered in her mind was the feeling of Murong Kai's lips touching hers. Her whole body felt numb, and even her heart felt numb and palpitating at that moment.
Ah Man thought about Murong Kai's words over and over again. The Ruyi Bottle had no effect only once, and that was when Emperor Taizu and his queen. Afterwards, Emperor Taizu said with a smile that because of the Ruyi Bottle, he finally knew the one he loved in his heart.
So why was Murong Kai acting so abnormal today
Like Su Jinxiu? That's impossible. They are not even nodding acquaintances. From the moment he saw Su Jinxiu, Murong Kai never concealed the disgust in his eyes.
But how could he like me
Although she is high and mighty in Bei'an and is her father's favorite daughter, who doesn't say that she is arrogant and unruly
How could she catch Murong Kai's eye
Ah Man tried hard to make herself forget this possibility, but she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.
After the joy, she became pessimistic in her heart. She always felt that they could not go to the end with this little bit of love.
Being in the harem, she had seen too many cases of unrequited love and the difficulty of having both. She had also seen enough of how exhausted her mother was as she struggled to hold on to the position of queen.
She had never thought about encountering love. The happy life she had planned for herself was to marry an ordinary man and enjoy three meals a day.
Of course, if her demand for a simple life can be met, love is dispensable to her.
But after meeting Murong Kai today, she suddenly realized that perhaps there were other possibilities in her life.
Of course, Murong Kai is ruled out as an option.
She was reluctant to leave her home and country, and be away from her father and mother.
Ah Man was happily daydreaming in the dormitory, while Murong Kai was sitting quietly outside the dormitory door. He didn't dare to leave. He wanted to have a good talk with Ah Man about what was going on between them. He told Ah Man that he was sending her back to China not just as a gift between friends, but to propose marriage.
After kissing Ah Man, Murong Kai was absolutely sure that Ah Man was the person he wanted to marry.
Because of the relationship between his mother and Concubine Dong, he could only make himself an invisible person in the palace. So, after he became sensible, the first thing he learned was to follow the rules and be law-abiding. However, after living like this for more than ten years, he just felt bored.
A big wedding with an interesting person seems to be the only way to change such a day.
Therefore, even if Ah Man was trying to get him to leave, he would never leave. He even thought about what he would say to Ah Man when he came out...
Ah Man and Murong Kai both had a lot of things to say, but they never had the chance to speak them out.
Because the two men were in a stalemate separated by a door until the evening, someone came from the palace and called Murong Kai back, saying that the emperor had been poisoned.
When Murong Kai heard the news, he was completely stunned. He suddenly remembered the conversation with Ah Man in the morning. Her expression at that time seemed to have expected this to happen.
"What's going on?" Murong Kai stared at the eunuch who came to deliver the message and asked anxiously, but the eunuch said with a look of grievance that he didn't know, and it was the Queen Mother who asked him to call the Third Prince back to the palace.
"Mother is awake?" A genuine smile finally appeared on Murong Kai's stunned face.
"Yes, the Queen woke up after the Emperor was poisoned." The little eunuch answered obediently.
"Who poisoned our father? Have you found out who was behind it?" Murong Kai asked anxiously. The young eunuch looked at Murong Kai, hesitating and looking embarrassed.
"Third Prince, the Queen has called all the princes over. I'm afraid the Emperor may not be able to make it." The most difficult words were squeezed out of the little eunuch's mouth.
Murong Kai's face was gloomy. Even though his father was not competent, he had never thought that his father would be poisoned and his life would be in danger.
