"Akai is a good kid. He doesn't fight or compete. He is a very sensible person. In order to protect himself, he has always lived a law-abiding life. I think he can be the ruler of the Murong family in the future. It would be most appropriate for him to be in charge of the punishment rules."
The Empress Dowager spoke slowly. She didn't want to mention her grandson who made her sad, but she loved all her children in her heart. No matter if they were the eldest, the third, the seventh or the ninth, they were all good children.
"Whether it's managing the punishments of the Great Zhou or the Murong family, it's a tough job. It requires selflessness and strict self-discipline. The third brother can do all of this, but if he spends his whole life fulfilling his duties as a prince, it would be too hard. That's why I want him to get what he wants emotionally."
The words that the Empress Dowager said to Ah She sounded like the mumblings between ordinary friends, but every word was full of concern and deep love for the Murong family and the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Ah She felt bitter when he heard what the Empress Dowager said.
She understood best that her master could not stand the royal rules. Even after they were far away, he still missed them all the time. She had suffered a lot over the years.
"The third brother will know how good you are to him, and he and his wife will definitely be filial to you in the future." Ah She comforted softly, but the Empress Dowager just smiled. Ah She knew best that they were all immortal, so how could they have children and grandchildren who were filial to them. All she wanted was that these children and grandchildren she loved could get what they wanted and live a smooth life.
"Let's go." The Empress Dowager turned around while speaking, heading down the mountain.
"Master, why don't you meet the Third Prince? He must have a lot to say to you. Let alone the distant things, he must be extremely satisfied with the wife you found for him."
"The durian tree I planted a few years ago has borne fruit. It will be almost ripe tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
"That thing is comparable to meeting your great-grandson? Are you really senile?"
As Ah She spoke, she chased after the Empress Dowager. Even though she had many complaints, she had always stayed by her side for so many years.
Over the years, she is the loneliest person, she only has herself to accompany her.
After Murong Kai and Ah Man had said all their sweet words, they remembered that the person they were eager to see was not Ah Man, but the ancestor.
But when he hurried out of the bridal chamber, he could no longer find any trace of the Empress Dowager.
There were only five people in the entire stronghold: him, A'man, A'man's two guards, and his eunuch Xiao Yuanzi.
At this moment Murong Kai and A'man looked at each other, especially A'man, who did not expect that her mountain village was completely different from the bandit gathering place she had imagined.
"If I had known that there were only two of them, I would have fought to the death. With just the two of us guards, it would have been easy for me to capture them. Why would I need to marry you?"
Ah Man was filled with frustration. She never expected that the bandits she thought were fierce were actually just two weak women.
"Luckily you thought too much. Not to mention your two guards, even if there were twenty or two hundred of them, they would not be their match."
"How is that possible?" Ah Man doubted instinctively. Only after she finished speaking, looking at Murong Kai's confident expression, did she remember the rumors about the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"If they were really two weak women, not to mention surviving until now, I'm afraid even my royal grandfather wouldn't be able to survive."
"I just regret it." Ah Man explained guiltily, but Murong Kai stared into her eyes and asked word by word: "What do you regret?"
Ah Man said that what she regretted was definitely agreeing to get married, but now, she was very sure that if she admitted it, Murong Kai would definitely not forgive her.
He looked like he was going to eat someone before I even mentioned him.
"You should go after the Grand Empress Dowager. They left not long ago. If you go after them, you may be able to catch up with them."
After Ah Man finished speaking, she covered her mouth. She was so focused on talking that she forgot that Murong Kai's leg was injured. Even if she went to chase him, she would be the one left behind.
"I'll help you chase her." Before Murong Kai could speak, Ah Man had already made the decision.
