"Although the palace is not under my control, my father still has some affection for me, otherwise he would not have handed over the palace affairs to me. I have been thinking about my mother's funeral these past two days and have not taken care of other things. If your people can, let them investigate. Just give me a copy of the information you get."
"I will find a way to deal with the matter of the state-guarding general. I will find out what evidence my father had for not trusting his loyal minister and forcing his first wife to death."
"Okay, if you have a way, try it. But don't be stubborn and don't go against your father. You still have me." Murong Kai looked at Ah Man with anger on her face and felt even more pity in his heart. The princess, who had been so favored, suddenly fell into this quagmire, but she was still able to stay sober and not feel sad or resentful. It must be said that although the queen indulged her a lot, she had raised her temper very well.
"Okay." Ah Man agreed softly, but the idea of talking to Murong Kai emerged again in her heart.
She knew very well that Murong Kai had feelings for her and he wanted to marry her, but now, she was afraid that she could not get married.
Even if all other issues were resolved, her brother the Crown Prince was still young, and she could not be so cruel as to abandon him and marry far away in another country. Therefore, although she accepted the help Murong Kai gave her, she did not feel at ease.
Ah Man hesitated several times to speak, but nothing escaped Murong Kai's eyes.
He was worried about her safety and that she would be angry and sad, so when he saw her, Murong Kai's entire attention was focused on Ah Man.
"Ah Man, there is nothing unspeakable between you and me. Your mother has passed away, your brother is still young, and I am also your relative."
In that mountain stronghold, when he saw that the woman under the red veil was A'man, he was certain in his heart that A'man was his wife and his relative. So, no matter whether she was the pampered princess of Emperor Bei'an or the despised princess, she was his wife and he would never leave her.
"But we may not be able to get married." When she was rushing to Bei'an with Murong Kai, she had dreamed of marrying Murong Kai. The dream was sweet and light, but she didn't expect that when she really arrived in Bei'an, she would no longer be able to get married.
"We're already married, have you forgotten? You're still wearing the Imperial Grandmother's jade pendant." Murong Kai seemed to have expected Ah Man to say this. He chuckled and reached out to grab the jade pendant hanging around her waist.
The craftsmanship of the Royal Grandmother's carving was really not that great, but Ah Man didn't think it was ugly and even carried it with her. This showed her true heart.
"I can return it to you, I..." Ever since she received the jade pendant, it has become a habit for her to carry it with her. Now that Murong Kai mentioned it, she felt a little embarrassed when she thought of what she had just said, as if she was saying one thing and thinking another.
"This is given to you by our ancestors. You can keep it. Ah Man, I am very happy that you can carry it with you."
Murong Kai seemed to understand Ah Man's thoughts very well, and knew that she must be embarrassed and angry at the moment. He did not say anything to comfort her, but just told her that he was very happy that she could wear the jade pendant given by the Royal Grandmother.
Because it is a symbol of her status. As long as she is willing to wear the jade pendant, she will be his wife sooner or later.
Murong Kai's happy words made all the embarrassment on Ah Man's face disappear, and she could no longer utter distant words.
"Ah Man, don't worry. I will stay with you before you marry me. I will stay with you for five to ten years."
Murong Kai promised softly. He was not a man who liked to make promises, but today he solemnly told Ah Man that he was willing to wait.
With the care of the ancestors, nothing serious will happen in the Great Zhou. Therefore, he is just an idle prince in the Great Zhou. It doesn't make much difference whether he is there or not. Therefore, he will stay by A'man's side, accompany her to do what she wants, accompany her to raise Prince Bei'an, and accompany her on her way.
"Murong Kai, you really don't have to be like this. There are so many ladies in Bei'an, there must be one you like."
Ah Man knew in her heart how heavy Murong Kai's promises were, but the long wait and just thinking about it made her feel tormented.
"I only like Ah Man. The night you saved my life, I will only love you in this life."
