"Just in case something happens, those soldiers are all carrying weapons." Seeing Zhen Junran's angry and helpless look, Ah Man continued softly.
"Even if I get hurt, I won't let you get hurt. My father said at the time that as long as I can protect you and be a hero saving a beautiful woman, you will definitely be moved by me, and I..."
Because the original conspiracy was aimed at Ah Man, therefore, talking about it in front of Ah Man now made him feel helpless, flustered, and even at a loss for words.
However, his tone was honest and he spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"With me by the princess' side, it will not be your turn to protect her no matter what danger she is in." Murong Kai, who had been standing calmly beside Ah Man, suddenly spoke. Upon hearing this, Zhen Junran looked up at Murong Kai.
"You..." Zhen Junran wanted to blame him, but when he thought about that day when this man rode his horse with a sword in hand and beheaded those who conspired with him with the guards beside him, he couldn't help but feel scared.
Yes, in front of him, I really have no right to say that I can protect Princess Jiaoyang.
"We are different. You are a eunuch. You should know that the rumors about you are everywhere in the capital these days. If you really want to do this for the princess's sake, you should stay away from her and not..."
Zhen Junran couldn't help but persuade her. Since Princess Jiaoyang wouldn't listen, he could always order a little eunuch, right? But when he said it, seeing Murong Kai staring at him, he couldn't help but feel timid in his heart. The last words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them anymore.
“You can’t even take care of yourself, and yet you come and meddle in our business, you’re really…” Murong Kai couldn’t help but sneer. Before he finished his words, Zhen Junran was so scared that he took a few steps back. He looked at Murong Kai timidly, mustering up his courage, but didn’t say anything else.
"Since the Emperor has issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage, you should go back and prepare for the wedding. You don't need to worry about the affairs of Canyang Palace."
Murong Kai looked at his cowardly look and despised him deeply. He threw down a few words and left with Ah Man, obviously not wanting to listen to his nagging any more.
Zhen Junran watched Ah Man being held hand by Murong Kai and leaving resolutely. His heart felt empty and very sour.
His father asked the emperor to take back Cheng Ming, but the emperor refused, so he could only marry Su Jinxiu.
But in his heart, Su Jinxiu was like a devil.
He likes Ah Man because of Su Jinxiu.
That year, when he entered the palace for the first time with his mother, Su Jinxiu, who had never seen him before, believed that he was the son of a minor official. She said that he had stolen her pearl hairpin and wanted to beat him to death. He had sneaked out to play at the time and was isolated and helpless, so he could only be dragged out and beaten.
He was hit twice and was ready to be beaten to death, but he heard a clear female voice. She stopped the guards who were beating him, helped herself up, and took him to the banquet holding his hand.
At that time, she was still a little girl, more than a head shorter than herself, but she knew how to comfort people and said that she would definitely teach Princess Jinxiu a lesson when she returned.
Later, after he left the palace, he received rewards from the palace. The eunuch who came to deliver the gifts secretly told him that Princess Aman had someone scold Princess Jinxiu. The queen knew about this and put Princess Jinxiu under house arrest.
When he got the news, he was stunned. He didn't expect that she still remembered her promise to him, even though it was just a casual remark she made.
She is A'man, the beloved daughter of the Emperor and Empress, Princess Jiaoyang.
From that day on, he fell in love with her and always felt that she had a light that could illuminate his life.
He was very glad that his father's official position was getting higher and higher. He tried to test his father several times to ask if he could marry Princess Aman, but his father always refused.
Later, he finally agreed, but was politely declined by the emperor.
Later, my father said that if I wanted to marry Princess Jiaoyang, I would have to work hard and make Princess Jiaoyang like me.
So, he listened to his father, used the soldiers borrowed from his father, and prepared to play a hero saving the beauty on the road that the princess must take on her return.
But the protagonist of this play has been replaced by someone else.
