Murong Kai was also shocked by the news. He hugged Ah Man with one hand and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, let's ask carefully. It's possible that you heard it wrong, or it's possible..."
Murong Kai still wanted to reassure Ah Man, but he couldn't think of any reason. How could the news, which was known to everyone on the street, be false
But how could his sunny little girl accept this sudden dark cloud
He knew that Ah Man was spoiled by the Emperor and Queen of Bei'an when she grew up. Now, how should she face it
Even though he was ready to go through life and death with her, he still felt unbearable pain at this moment. There has never been true empathy in the world. The pain of losing one's mother, this cup of bitter wine that is enough to grate the heart, can only be drunk by her alone.
"Ah Man, don't cry yet. Let's go and find out the situation. You have to be fine. You still have your father and your brother, the crown prince. You have to be strong."
"Murong Kai, you think my mother is really dead, right? My mother is only 32 years old this year. My father said that this age is the best age for a woman. How could she die? My father would not allow it. If my mother dies, what will my father do? What about my brother, the crown prince? What should I do?"
Ah Man asked blankly, with confusion in her eyes. Her world was turned upside down too quickly, catching her off guard.
"Murong Kai, my mother will not die. She will not abandon my father, nor will she abandon me and my brother. She will not die, she will not."
Ah Man kept saying that he would not die, but tears kept falling as he spoke.
Even though she was confused at the moment, she knew that her mother was really gone.
"Murong Kai, my mother must have been wronged. She is the most noble woman in Bei'an. She has no reason to have any dealings with foreign countries in the Zhenguo Mansion. She really doesn't need to. She has the love of my father, me, and my lovely brother. She has everything. She doesn't need to do things that are thankless. She..."
Ah Man tried to explain that these things were what any normal person would think of, but why did the emperor of Bei'an still believe them? He even allowed the queen he had doted on for many years to "commit suicide out of fear of crime"
Murong Kai didn't say anything, but his mind was already thinking of countless possibilities.
"Ah Man, why do you think your father lost trust in your mother?"
"Impossible. Father and mother have been in love for many years, and he should trust her the most." Ah Man retorted instinctively. Only after she finished speaking did she understand the meaning of Murong Kai's words. If father had enough trust in her mother, then he would not have failed to trust the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and would not have let her mother commit suicide out of fear of punishment.
To commit suicide out of fear of punishment, one must first be guilty? Is this crime the crime of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion or the crime of the Queen Mother
If the entire Zhenguo Mansion is still in prison, then why is the Queen Mother so afraid of being punished
Ah Man's mind was working rapidly, but before she could come up with any conclusion, the sadness in her heart shattered her rationality. She really couldn't make the most reasonable guess at this time.
"Murong Kai, I can't think too much. I don't want to think about anything right now. I just want to find a place to cry. Let me cry for a while. After I'm done crying, we can talk about it, okay? Or, you can help me think about it. Think about it. It's been less than two months. How could my father and mother..."
By the end of her words, Ah Man was already sobbing.
"A'man, you crying like this, it hurts me so much that I can't calm down and think. Let's find a place to stay first. When you calm down, we can talk slowly." After comforting A'man softly, Murong Kai held A'man's hand with one hand and pushed the wheelchair with the other hand and walked towards a nearby inn.
"Murong Kai, I don't know what to do." Ah Man's words were helpless and desolate, no longer as bright and shining as before.
"Ah Man, don't think about it. I'm here with you. I will accompany you through mountains of swords and seas of fire."
All the beautiful imaginations of the future have changed at this moment. The only thing that remains unchanged is his firm heart. He wants to stay with Ah Man, no matter she is the high and mighty Princess Jiaoyang or crushed into the dust.
