"You..." Looking at Murong Kai standing in front of her, Ah Man's heart was filled with joy, but she couldn't say a word.
Every time she took herself away from the tedious affairs of Bei'an and thought of Murong Kai, her heart was always filled with worry.
Now seeing him standing in front of her, her heart, which had been hanging in the air for so long, finally settled down.
Murong Kai was also affected by Ah Man's smile. The smile on his face was as warm as the spring breeze in March. He took two quick steps, but Ah Man walked faster than him. She threw herself into his arms and said happily, "Why didn't you let someone tell me that your leg is healed."
"As soon as I was able to stand up this morning, I couldn't wait to come here. Besides Xiao Yuanzi, you are the first one who knows that I can stand up."
Murong Kai held Ah Man in his arms, his heart filled with regret. He had only not seen her for over a month, yet she had lost so much weight.
"A'man, I will stay by your side from now on, okay?" Murong Kai spoke softly, his tone full of pleading.
"You are not always by my side, but when you are by my side, I feel at ease, really." Ah Man didn't expect Murong Kai to have some hidden meaning. She spoke frankly, she knew very well that without Murong Kai, she would have a hard time in the Bei'an Palace and in the imperial mausoleum.
He handed over all the power of the Great Zhou to her and protected her throughout all the hardships.
"I mean, no matter where you are in the future, I will always be by your side."
"After we get married, it's natural that the husband sings and the wife follows." Ah Man didn't understand why they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and after they met, he didn't even say words of longing for each other, but just got entangled in this so-called staying by her side.
"A'man, you don't have to play dumb. I have made up my mind. I will go into the palace with you." Murong Kai's words were serious and unquestionable. A'man looked at him and smiled. She felt in her heart that this was just Murong Kai's wishful thinking. However, she didn't expect Murong Kai to suddenly turn around, take out something from his arms, and slowly put it to her face.
When he turned around, he was still handsome, but his face was completely different, exactly the same as Xiao Yuanzi who was standing not far behind him.
"you… "
"I will let Xiao Yuanzi return to Da Zhou today. From now on, I will stay by your side as Xiao Yuanzi."
"Murong Kai, what are you doing? You are the prince of the Great Zhou, and you and Xiao Yuanzi..." Ah Man was already very annoyed. As a prince of a country, he was wearing a eunuch's mask. If this got out, it would bring shame to the royal family of the Great Zhou.
"I'm not joking, I'm serious. What kind of prince is this? If I can't protect you, I might as well not be a prince." Murong Kai's expression was always indifferent. When he decided to do this, he knew that Ah Man would definitely refuse. But it was his decision and could not be refused.
"No, if your mother knew about this, she would kill me." Ah Man still refused. Although she didn't want to think about how to make Murong Kai's mother accept her now, she didn't want to make the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law more serious in the future.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. If you don't take me to the palace, I will find a way to get in. You don't know that I couldn't sleep well at night when you stayed in the palace for a while, fearing that something might happen to you."
"Ah Man, let me stay with you and protect you, okay?" These were clearly the most affectionate words, but they were spoken in a pleading tone. Ah Man only felt as if there were two hands piercing through her abdomen, reaching into her heart, and gripping her heart tightly.
"Murong Kai, I..."
"I understand your thoughts, and you also understand my thoughts, so give me a chance and protect you. I will not get involved in anything in the Bei'an court. I entered the palace just for you. If I leave, the only thing I will take with me is you."
Murong Kai's words were like a declaration. Ah Man's heart was beating wildly. She felt that no words could describe her feelings at the moment. She could only press close to Murong Kai's body and snuggle tightly.
