The queen is gone. She has shown me kindness, and I have no way of repaying her. All I can do is these small things.
"Father really won't care, I..." Ah Man couldn't believe what the little eunuch said, but deep down she hoped that she could really do what he said.
"This is a matter of face for both countries. Even if the emperor doesn't want to, he probably won't..." The young eunuch stopped talking, smiled at Ah Man, and left in a hurry.
Ah Man stared at the young eunuch's back in a trance, but Lian Huan, who had been guarding Ah Man all the time, suddenly said, "Princess, this young eunuch should be trustworthy."
Ah Man looked at Lian Huan, not understanding why she was so sure. Shouldn't they be suspicious of others? In such a large harem, where could they find so many people they could trust
Ah Man was still thinking about teaching Lian Huan in private, but Lian Huan couldn't wait to speak up: "Princess, when this little eunuch was punished, it was the Queen who saved his life."
"Lian Huan, there are too many heartless and ungrateful people in this world."
"But I don't think he will." Lian Huan was very stubborn. She was sure that this little eunuch had a deep bond with them and he would definitely not be the kind of person who would take advantage of their misfortune.
"Princess, do you mean that you won't hold the funeral according to the standards for the Queen?" Lian Huan didn't expect that Ah Man would have such an attitude. The joy that surged in her heart after hearing the little eunuch's words just now was like a heavy rain, and it was instantly destroyed.
"My mother is the Queen of Bei'an. I will naturally prepare a grand funeral for her." Ah Man didn't dare to believe the little eunuch's words because she didn't know her father's attitude now. However, since her father had put the funeral matters in her hands, she would try her best to maintain her mother's last glory.
Even though this might create a further distance between herself and her father, she would still do it because it was one of the few things she, as a daughter, could do for her mother.
The Queen Mother had protected him for more than ten years. Now, it was her turn to fight for her Queen Mother.
"Lian Huan, take someone to Concubine Zhu and get the golden seal of our mother."
In the Bei'an harem, the golden seal of the palace has always been in the hands of the queen, and only when there is no queen will it fall into the hands of the concubines.
After my mother passed away, Concubine Zhu took charge of the harem. The golden seal for managing the palace was naturally in her hands now. The reason she showed off to me that day was just by relying on the golden seal.
Now, since my father has given the order, I naturally have to get the golden seal back first.
"I'll go right away." Lian Huan obeyed and left. Ah Man suddenly remembered something and said to Ru Meng who was not far away: "Ru Meng, go outside and ask who the envoy of the Great Zhou is?"
When she came back from the Great Zhou, she had not heard that the Great Zhou had sent an envoy to Bei'an. Although she and Murong Kai had not traveled day and night from the Great Zhou to Bei'an, they had hurried along the way. The envoy arrived only one day later than she did. This...
Ah Man actually had the answer in her heart, but after thinking about it, she felt that the answer was ridiculous. How could Murong Kai become an envoy of the Great Zhou? He appeared like this...
Rumeng came back very quickly. After all, many young eunuchs had witnessed what Murong Kai did in the court, especially the way he scolded Princess Jinxiu and forced the emperor into a corner. For an envoy to do such a thing was undoubtedly shocking.
"Is it really him?" After hearing about Murong Kai's actions in the court, Ah Man felt her heart boiling. She knew that Murong Kai's people were protecting her in secret. She would never have thought that Murong Kai would actually force his father in the court in full view of everyone.
What he did may go against the original intention of the good-neighborly friendship between the two countries, but everything he did was for himself.
