Even though she could see Murong Zheng's feelings for her, Imperial Noble Consort Jin did not stay in Murong Zheng's imperial study for long. If it were not for Murong Kai, she would not have even taken a step closer to Murong Zheng.
Of course, there were more important things to do before leaving. As soon as she returned to her bedroom, she ordered someone to find a smart eunuch to pass the news that the emperor had granted Murong Zheng's marriage to her to be delivered to the Bei'an Embassy.
At this time, Murong Kai, the protagonist of the arranged marriage, was with the queen.
The Queen came in a hurry after hearing about Murong Kai's blood-cutting and severing ties with his relatives. She was angry at Murong Kai's reckless behavior, but she didn't expect that after entering Murong Kai's bedroom, she would see Murong Kai unharmed.
The worries in his heart disappeared when he saw Murong Kai smiling, but he still couldn't help but punched Murong Kai hard on the shoulder.
"Is this something you can fool around with? Even if you are angry with your mother, you shouldn't scare her with such a thing."
Any mother would be scared to death seeing a bowl of blood from her child. But Murong Kai made a bowl of blood himself to scare his mother.
"Why do I feel like you are the one who is scared to death? You must have rushed here as soon as you heard the news?" Murong Kai spoke to the queen with a smile, but his eyes swept over her messy clothes.
The Queen was indeed frightened by Murong Kai. When she heard the news, her hands were shaking when she was getting dressed, so her clothes were naturally not dressed very neatly.
"It's fine if you're causing trouble, but you even come here to make fun of your mother. It really... makes me mad to death." Seeing that Murong Kai was unharmed, the queen was relieved and spoke more casually, but still with anger.
"Mother, my mother has made up her mind. If I don't take strong measures, I'm afraid she will continue to make trouble." Speaking of his mother, Murong Kai felt powerless. She had never participated in his life before, but now she wanted to intervene and control his life.
"You'll break her heart."
"She obviously hurt my heart. Knowing that I like Ah Man, she actually asked Ah Man to meet those noble ladies she liked. She didn't want to make me happy at all."
"Your mother has locked herself up in the palace for these years. She is indeed a bit paranoid. You should talk to her nicely. Mother and son cannot become enemies."
"She now regards A'man as her enemy." This is where Murong Kai feels most helpless. It is obvious that the two of them have no intersection. The only intersection is that A'man saved his life. However, his mother just doesn't like A'man and always tries her best to keep A'man away from her.
"Take it slow. Don't be impatient." The Queen was helpless with Imperial Noble Consort Jin's insistence, but she was Murong Kai's mother, so she couldn't use force. She could only take it slow.
"Mother, if you have the chance please try to persuade my mother. She is too paranoid now." Murong Kai asked softly, and the queen patted his shoulder comfortingly.
"Okay, mother, find time to have a good talk with her." The queen comforted Murong Kai, but she felt more helpless in her heart. As a mother, she thought that Imperial Noble Concubine Jin had the same expectations as herself. She hoped that Murong Kai could be happy all his life. If the person he loved became someone else's wife, how could Murong Kai's future be happy
But Imperial Noble Consort Jin insisted on sticking to her guns on this matter.
Murong Kai had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the voice of the eunuch outside delivering the imperial decree. The Queen accompanied him to receive the imperial decree granting marriage, but she could not utter a word of comfort.
The road ahead, which was once full of hope, suddenly became bleak.
"Third Prince, please accept the decree quickly." After reading the imperial eunuch, he looked at Murong Kai who was kneeling on the ground. He did not thank him, did not speak, and did not even have any expression.
He didn't expect that his father and mother would force him into such a situation.
The Queen did not expect that Imperial Noble Consort Jin would actually go to such an extent. This really forced Murong Kai into a desperate situation. However, some people would choose to obey when facing a desperate situation, but Murong Kai, this child, might have chosen another path.
