"Murong Kai, stop doing this, let me go." Ah Man really didn't expect that Murong Kai would hug her regardless of anything. She felt a little embarrassed and at a loss, and struggled to break free from Murong Kai's arms.
Even though it was Fengyang Palace, it was not a safe place. Murong Kai picked her up regardless. He was really... bold and presumptuous.
"A'man, you don't have to worry about yourself. Everyone in Bei'an knows that I want to marry you, but your father doesn't allow it." Murong Kai held A'man's hand again and said affectionately.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ah Man was a little skeptical. After not seeing him for more than a day, how could Murong Kai... actually say such a thing.
"A'man, I proposed to your father yesterday, but was rejected." This result made Murong Kai very disappointed.
A long time ago, Murong Kai thought that if he went to Bei'an to propose marriage, he would definitely be rejected, because A'man was Su Jing's most beloved daughter. However, later, after the Queen of Bei'an passed away and the Emperor alienated the Prince, Murong Kai felt that if he proposed marriage, the Emperor of Bei'an might agree.
But he didn't expect that he would be rejected again, and the reason was so strong that he couldn't find any reason to refute.
"You are fooling around. What time is it now? How can you do this?" The two of them had discussed it on the way back to the capital. Murong Kai didn't rush to propose marriage, but he didn't expect that he would propose marriage right after he agreed. This guy is really...
"I heard that you were under house arrest in Canyang Palace, so I lost my composure. Fortunately, although I failed, you were able to get out of Canyang Palace." Murong Kai felt very guilty for breaking his promise to A'man, but the situation was like that at the time, and he really couldn't think of a better way.
Ah Man, who originally wanted to blame him, softened her heart after hearing Murong Kai's explanation.
"When you were in the Great Zhou, everyone praised you for your steadiness. Why are you so impatient now that you're in Bei'an?"
Ah Man gently complained, not wanting Murong Kai to explain, but Murong Kai quietly explained: "Just think of it as me not being able to adapt to the local climate. I will be more careful next time."
Acclimated with the local climate, what a far-fetched excuse. In fact, they both knew that the real reason was that they were too concerned.
"I don't understand what the emperor is thinking, so please don't do anything rash. If I need you, I will let someone notify you."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Murong Kai was quick to accept advice. It was not easy for him to meet Ah Man, so he naturally would not make things difficult for Ah Man, and he did not want to make her worry.
"Are you doing well in this palace? I haven't seen you for two days. You have lost weight and look much more tired." Murong Kai raised his hand and pinched Ah Man's face, saying with concern.
"How can I lose weight? Your people are in charge of my diet. Their food is very good."
"A'man, I don't want to see you frowning like this." Murong Kai said sincerely. He was moved at first, not only because of her protection for him, but more because of her carefree smile, which shone into his heart like sunshine.
"When everything is settled, I will still be the happy and cheerful Princess Jiaoyang." Ah Man said softly, and Murong Kai's eyes were full of pity. They all knew that these were just words of comfort, and the proud and outspoken Princess Jiaoyang would never come back.
"Ah Man, is there anyone in the palace who is giving you trouble? My people have investigated the affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and found no evidence to prove that they are colluding with foreign countries."
Although Murong Kai wished to spend all his time talking about love with Ah Man, but given the current situation, they could only use more things to understand each other's situation and solve existing problems.
