Ah Man had eaten the malt sugar made by Concubine Xu, and to be honest, it was really delicious. Xuan'er was also fascinated by the malt sugar made by her, so every time he saw her, he called her Aunt Xu in a particularly affectionate way.
But now when she mentioned the maltose, Ah Man felt extremely bitter in her heart.
She even wondered if she and Xuan'er hadn't liked the maltose she made, would she not have been close to her father and hurt her mother...
"Princess, Concubine Xu has great kindness towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so let Xuan'er go with her."
"Murong Kai, you..." Ah Man didn't expect Murong Kai to speak directly. After hearing such words, she would be wrong not to agree. But how could she feel at ease to hand Xuan'er to Concubine Xu
Ah Man was about to refute Murong Kai, but Xuan Er had already jumped up to Concubine Xu, hugged her arms affectionately, and called softly: Aunt Xu.
"Aunt Xu, you don't come to see Xuan'er anymore. Xuan'er misses you so much. Xuan'er wants to eat malt sugar. Aunt Xu will make it for her." Xuan'er didn't even look at Ah Man's gloomy face. He hugged Concubine Xu's arm and spoke softly, looking very intimate.
Ah Man didn't expect that Xuan'er would be so useless. When he saw Concubine Xu, the first thing he thought of was malt sugar.
Now she had no reason to refuse. When Concubine Xu looked at her with those misty eyes, she finally couldn't help but nodded.
She could see that Concubine Xu was relieved, and she watched her leave in a hurry with Xuan'er, her steps were a little staggering, as if she was an unforgivable villain who was about to take her life.
"Murong Kai, how could you let Xuan'er go to Xu Fei just now? Do you know..." The backs of Xuan'er and Xu Fei disappeared from Ah Man's sight, and the anger in her heart suddenly burst out.
"I only know that Concubine Xu took Xuan'er away in public. If something happens to Xuan'er, will you spare her or will the emperor spare her? Not to mention the two of you, even the court officials will want her life. Do you think she would be stupid enough to attack Xuan'er today?"
"Even if it's targeting you and your brother, you still need to have a chance of winning in order to enjoy the fruits of victory. But if she harms Xuan'er and also puts herself in trouble, why would she bother?"
Murong Kai's words made sense, and Concubine Xu really had no reason to harm Xuan'er.
"But she is... after all, I am worried."
"If you're worried, I won't let Xuan'er go. When he comes back, I'll make malt sugar for him to eat."
"you… ?"
"It will definitely taste better than what Concubine Xu made."
Murong Kai's words finally made Ah Man's heart calm down. Now Xuan'er was willing to follow Concubine Xu only because of malt sugar. If Murong Kai was really capable, then in the future, Concubine Xu would have no reason to take Xuan'er away.
"What if Concubine Xu..."
"There is no if. Concubine Xu brought Xuan'er this time to appease your father."
Murong Kai's words, in a calm tone, succeeded in igniting Ah Man's anger again. She stared at Murong Kai and asked loudly: "Murong Kai, what on earth are you thinking? You want Xuan'er to see the emperor with another woman..., you..."
"Murong Kai, Xuan'er is my brother. Even if you don't like him, you can't hurt him like this. If this incident leaves any shadow in his heart, I will never forgive you."
After saying that, Ah Man stood up and walked towards the palace gate. She wanted to bring Xuan'er back. She absolutely didn't want Xuan'er to see her father with another woman. The happiness in her heart had already been shattered, and she couldn't let Concubine Xu and her father destroy the happiness in Xuan'er's heart again.
Murong Kai took two quick steps, tightly grasped Ah Man's hand, and said softly, "Listen to me, Ah Man."
"Murong Kai, I put Xuan'er in that situation because I trusted you too much. I don't ask you to love Xuan'er as much as I do, but you can't hurt him like this."
After saying that, Ah Man continued to walk towards the palace gate, and Murong Kai finally broke free from Ah Man's hand that he had been tightly holding. Murong Kai looked at her back as she hurriedly left, and suddenly a strong reluctance emerged in his eyes.
