Through the thick clothes, Murong Kai could still feel Ah Man's burning body temperature. He knew that he should leave, but he was greedy for such warmth and was unwilling to let go, because he knew very well that after this separation, he would not know when they would meet again.
He is the prince of the Great Zhou. There is no reason for him to enter the palace every day, and there is no way for him to stay by his side every day.
He had to find a way, a way...
Ah Man finally struggled out of Murong Kai's arms. She was also addicted to the warmth Murong Kai gave her, but reason told her that now was not the time for them to confide in each other. They still had too much to do.
"You should also take good care of yourself. The winter in Bei'an is much colder than that in Da Zhou. Wear more clothes. Also, take good care of your legs and don't move around."
Ah Man gave gentle instructions, but deep down she felt very concerned. If it weren't for her, he would have to stay in Bei'an. If it weren't for her, his leg might have almost healed.
"Don't worry, I won't let you have a husband you can't take out." Murong Kai said softly.
He still doesn't know what method to use to cure his legs, but his ancestors said that there will be a way, he just needs to wait for the opportunity. But now, it is too inconvenient to sit in a wheelchair.
"How can you not take it out? You're so good." Ah Man actually had many compliments to say, but she was a little shy and couldn't say them out.
"Take care of yourself. I'm leaving." Even though he was reluctant to leave, even though he had to say these parting words over and over again, he had to leave. This time, he was really leaving, leaving this dangerous palace to Ah Man, letting her and her brother struggle to survive in this deep palace.
Ah Man didn't say anything else. All they could say now was "I have you" and "I will be fine". In the short time they met, they repeated their words too many times. But thousands of words could not express their reluctance and concern.
Watching Murong Kai leave, the warmth on Ah Man's face gradually faded away. When she walked back to the main hall of Fengyang Palace, she was the cold and unattainable Princess again.
"Sister, who is he? Why is he talking to you? He wants to take you away, right?"
Jinxuan looked at Ah Man coming back, quickly stood up, held Ah Man's hand tightly, and asked nervously.
It's not that he is too sensitive, but he has lost too much during this period of time. His mother is gone, and his former father has also changed. If his sister also leaves, he will be alone again.
And just now when Murong Kai and the imperial sister left, they looked too intimate. Just by looking at their backs, he felt like an outsider.
No, no, he had tried hard to hold back and not eavesdrop on the conversation between his imperial sister and that man. Now that his imperial sister had come out, he could no longer hold back. Rather than asking, it was more like he was asserting his sovereignty.
"Jinxuan, he is one of us." Ah Man didn't know how to resolve Jinxuan's hostility towards Murong Kai, so she could only explain softly. However, Su Jinxuan could not accept this explanation at all.
"Royal sister, now that our mother is gone, I only have your sister, and you can't have anyone of your own." Jinxuan's words were filled with deep sadness, yet also very domineering, causing Ah Man to not know how to respond.
Jinxuan is only five years old, and it is obviously useless to preach to him. However, how to resolve his hostility towards Murong Kai is really a big problem. Fortunately, they have few opportunities to meet, and it will be a long time before I get married, so I will talk about it later.
Ah Man didn't know that it was because of her compromise at this time that Jin Xuan and Murong Kai started to fight for favor in the days that followed. These two extremely childish men made her life "dark" for a time.
