Chapter 1402: Prince Li’s Extra: Premonition
If you don't leave, I won't abandon you.
These few words, like beating a drum, rang in Murong Kai's heart. All his fears and worries were put to rest when he got Ah Man's promise. He hugged Ah Man tightly, wishing he could rub her into his body, so that he could never leave her in this life.
"Ah Man, remember what you said. No matter what happens in the future, don't let go of my hand."
"Murong Kai, are you hiding something from me?" Murong Kai's request was reasonable, but it made Ah Man feel weird. She always felt that there might be something she didn't know about behind his worries.
Or maybe she knew Murong Kai too well. Even in the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, without the love of his father and the care of his mother, he could be free and easy by himself, but now, it was like this.
In fact, such words and promises are the most useless, because the road is walked by people, not spoken, but today, Murong Kai is anxious to get a promise.
Such Murong Kai was undoubtedly abnormal in front of Ah Man, who was familiar with him.
"Ah Man, it's just a promise, are you stingy to give it to me?" Ah Man's sudden elegance made Murong Kai's eyebrows float with a hint of sadness.
"Murong Kai, when did you become so naive? My father and mother have said countless times that they would grow old together, but in the end, my mother died first, and my father, before the old one's body was cold, he lingered with the new one."
Although he was very reluctant to accept his father's affairs, the facts were in front of him, and it was also the best example. Sometimes, the promise of words is the most insignificant thing.
With Su Jing's example, even if Murong Kai still wanted Ah Man to make a promise, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Especially before, Ah Man had said that if you don't leave, I won't abandon you. If he continues to chase her, it would be unsatisfied.
What Ah Man didn't know was that her guess was right. Murong Kai did encounter something, so he was so anxious. A promise that he would not leave me was not enough to make him feel at ease.
But this was a secret between him and Su Jing, and he couldn't tell Ah Man.
The road Su Jing was going to take was full of difficulties and dangers, and he didn't want Ah Man to be involved in it.
"Murong Kai, are you really hiding it from me?"
"I stay by your side every day, is there anything you don't know?"
Ah Man naturally didn't know that Murong Kai stayed by her side, but when she went to bed, Murong Kai would go to Su Jing's imperial study, and the two would chat until late every day.
"Murong Kai, no matter what happens, don't hide it from me. We are people who will walk hand in hand for the rest of our lives."
As soon as Ah Man's voice fell, Murong Kai laughed. The person who insisted on not promising himself just now actually softened his heart when testing himself.
Murong Kai held Ah Man's hand tightly and whispered, "I have even handed over the power of the Great Zhou in Bei'an to you, what else can I hide from you?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Murong Kai's words, but Ah Man was relieved.
"Murong Kai, although I promised you to stay by my side, don't do anything dangerous for me, and don't get involved in the struggles of the court. The government is not other things. If you really get involved, it will be difficult for you to get out of it with your status."
Murong Kai told him that he would take the imperial examination, and also told him that he would work hard to get a top scholar, and also said that he would enter the court, but Ah Man just thought that a top scholar had no qualifications, and even if the father used him, it would only be an idle position like a tutor. But these days, she saw that Murong Kai was reading books about the court, and she was very worried, especially today when he suddenly felt anxious about gains and losses.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to get stuck in the court, but to take you away." Murong Kai pretended to be calm, but Ah Man's eyes were filled with sorrow. If it weren't for her uncle's family and Xuan'er, she might have really left freely, but now, everything is tied up...
