Murong Kai spoke softly, his words were so natural that Ah Man couldn't help but be stunned. But seeing how he was looking forward to the future, she finally couldn't help but nodded and said yes.
But at this moment, they could never imagine that in their future, that child would be raised and pampered by them, because the road to their child's birth was too long and tortuous.
But that’s all in the past.
Murong Kai talked to Ah Man for a long time, and left quietly after watching her fall asleep. While sleeping, Ah Man was still calling "father". The tone of her voice was like that of an ignorant child, dependent and attached.
When Murong Kai heard this, he just sighed. His little girl was still thinking about her father. She didn't say it, but she suppressed her feelings for her father deep in her heart.
I hope that the person she is thinking of can understand the pain in her heart and trust him more, and the two of them can join hands to overcome the difficulties together.
What Murong Kai didn't know was that Su Jing also hadn't slept the whole day. When it was almost dawn, he asked someone to call Murong Kai over.
As soon as Murong Kai entered the imperial study, Su Jing dismissed the attendants, then raised his hand and motioned for Murong Kai to sit down.
Murong Kai came in front of Su Jing, looking serious and honest, but Su Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have much time left."
Upon hearing this, Murong Kai looked at him. His thin face was withered and yellow, looking like the leaves on the branches in late autumn. He stared at him with focused and open eyes.
Murong Kai knew that this was not a test. He must have chosen to join hands with him, so he told him the truth.
However, looking at Su Jing's appearance, Murong Kai felt a sharp pain in his heart. He still remembered Ah Man's desperate cry when she lost her mother. But soon, she would have to face the pain of losing her father.
He didn't want to make Ah Man sad anymore, but what could he do
"Is it poisoning or an illness? We in Da Zhou have some connections with Doctor Wen Yi and Old Prince An Ran. I asked my father to write to them and ask them to come and treat you."
Almost as soon as Su Jing finished speaking, Murong Kai spoke.
He now just wanted to use all his strength to help Ah Man keep her father. He could do it, he definitely could.
Su Jing was satisfied with Murong Kai's reaction. When he looked at Murong Kai, there was a hint of kindness in his expression.
He and Murong Kai had met only a few times, and he had no feelings for her. The reason why he was so anxious must be because of Ah Man. It was obvious that he cared about Ah Man in his heart.
This is enough.
He could finally feel more at ease. After losing the protection of her parents, his Ah Man now had someone willing to be the mountain by his side to protect her from the wind and rain.
It’s just that his queen passed away early. It would have been great if she could have met Murong Kai.
"I think there's no cure for this poison. Besides, Ah Man's backstage agent has gone over there to wait for me. I can't let her wait too long. She usually doesn't have much patience. If she gets really angry and runs away, I won't be able to find her in the underworld."
Speaking of life and death, Su Jing's lips were full of smiles, especially when he talked about the deceased queen, warmth spread in his eyes. However, at this time, the two of them had already been separated forever, and people looking at them would inexplicably feel a bit desolate in their hearts.
"Doctor Wen Yi once said that there is no incurable disease in this world." Murong Kai knew that Su Jing had probably made full preparations to die after the Queen's death, but he still wanted to persuade him. He didn't want Ah Man to endure the pain of losing a loved one again.
"My heart is dead and nothing can heal it. You don't understand." Su Jing spoke with a smile, but his smile was full of bitterness.
"You always think about the late queen, but what about Ah Man and Xuan Er? They are still young, you have to think about them. They lost their mother, but they can't lose their father again."
"Ah Man, you are already here. Xuan'er is still young, and Ah Man is just a girl after all. So, I'm afraid that Bei'an will be handed over to you in the future."
Murong Kai didn't expect that Su Jing, who had disliked him in various ways before, would actually say such words.
He didn't care if it was handed over to him, but the court officials in Bei'an were not pushovers.
