Ming Yu took the fruit wine and drank a mouthful. The sour and sweet taste was very tasty, but Ning Xiang and Han Lu both stared at her. After drinking a small cup, they did not let her drink anymore.
The days in the palace were boring to begin with, not to mention that it had been raining for several days in a row. Everyone was bored inside. It was rare for the sun to shine brightly today, so they could spend the day admiring the flowers and trees and playing a few games in the Imperial Garden.
Shen Huan 'er wanted to stay by Ming Yu's side, but there were a few people who had promised to invite her to a poetry competition. She was itching to join them. "Ming Yu, do you want to join us?"
"No need. I'll stay here and watch you play." Ming Xi said with a smile. What she hated the most was seeing those poems and words. She was exhausted from reading so many memorials every day. Was she going to torture herself now?
"I'll be right back." Shen Huan 'er glanced at Lei Bingfu. She felt that Ming Yu would not like Lei Bingfu's personality, so she walked out of the pavilion without any worries.
Ming Yu turned around and saw that Lei Bingfu was still leisurely drinking fruit wine. She couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"Aren't you going to play?" Mingyu asked Lei Bingfu.
"Looking at a few flowers and reciting poems with them? I might as well go back to sleep. " Lei Bingfu said lazily, "On such a good day, we should bask in the sun, eat something delicious, and drink something good."
Ming Yu raised her eyebrows, stood up and walked to Lei Bingfu's side, "You seem to be different from them."
If she was like those flirtatious bitches, she wouldn't have been able to become the Empress Dowager in her previous life.
"How is it different?" Lei Bingfu looked at Ming Yu with a smile.
"Don't you want to fight for his favor?" Mingyu asked.
Lei Bingfu laughed softly and said in a low voice, "Does the Emperor favor anyone? Weren't they all treated equally? What's there to fight about? "
They didn't even know where the favor was, so what was there to fight about? When the day came when Murong Ke turned his attention to the harem and began to favor the concubines in the harem, that would be the time for them to show their magical powers.
However, it was only when she entered the palace that she realized that Murong Ke was harder to deal with than she had imagined.
Does this Jin Emperor already have a ray of white moonlight in his heart?
Otherwise, why would he ignore so many beauties in his harem?
Lei Bingfu couldn't figure this out.
"How do you know it's useless to fight?" Mingyu asked.
"Little girl, you are still too young. You will understand when you grow up." After pausing for a moment, Lei Bingfu changed her words. "Forget it. I hope that you will never understand what it means to fight for favor. Your parents and brother will love and protect you. They will definitely let you marry someone who treats you sincerely and won't let you suffer."
Ming Yu frowned and looked at Lei Bingfu. "Do you know my brother?"
She had vaguely felt that Lei Bingfu's words were a little strange, as though she had seen Ming Xi before. Hearing her say this, it was hard for Ming Yu not to be suspicious.
Just as she finished speaking, two palace maids came in with fresh fruits.
Lei Bingfu didn't answer. She just poured a glass of fruit wine and held it in her hand.
Mingyu did not continue asking.
"Princess, this is the tribute sent by the emperor." A palace maid walked towards Ming Yu with a plate of fruits.
"Put it down." Ming Yu didn't even turn her head as she casually pointed at the table.
Lei Bingfu calmly looked up and her eyes landed on the palace maid. Just as the palace maid was about to reach Ming Yu, Lei Bingfu grabbed Ming Yu's hand and forcefully pulled it over.
Unknowingly, a sharp red hairpin appeared in the palace maid's hand. It was shining with a strange light.
"Assassin!" Lei Bingfu protected Ming Yu behind her as she shouted loudly.
Ning Xiang and Han Lu were the first to react. They immediately picked up the things on the table and threw them at the palace maid.
The palace maid's eyes were vicious. She stabbed the palace maid in front of her to death and stared straight at Ming Yu.
"Catch the assassin! There's an assassin!" Han Lu screamed.
When the concubines outside the pavilion heard the scream, they all turned pale with fright. Especially when they saw the scene in the pavilion, they were so scared that they didn't dare to move.
"Quickly save the princess!" Shen Huan 'er was startled. When she saw Ming Yu being protected by Lei Bingfu, she immediately ran over to help.
The palace maid assassin's martial arts were very strong. She had already knocked out Han Lu and Ning Xiang. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive. She stabbed towards Lei Bingfu.
Lei Bingfu pushed Ming Yu away and threw the cup in her hand. The assassin dodged to the side, but the red hairpin in her hand was kicked away by Lei Bingfu.
"You know martial arts!" Ming Yu looked at Lei Bingfu in surprise and shouted.
"Just a little bit." Lei Bingfu and the assassin started fighting. She learned martial arts to protect herself, not for anything else. In the past, she suffered in the palace because she didn't know martial arts. She thought that she wouldn't be able to use it in this lifetime. She didn't expect that it was actually to save a little girl.
If it wasn't for the deal with Mo Mingxi, she really didn't want to take the risk. That red hairpin must have been poisoned.
That assassin was obviously trained. Lei Bingfu was not his opponent. Fortunately, she was able to withstand a few moves. Just when she was about to collapse, the palace guards had already appeared.
"Take her down!"
"Quickly run!" Lei Bingfu pulled Ming Yu and quickly ran. She was afraid that if they were too slow, they would be taken hostage by the assassin.
The assassin originally planned to do so, but in the end, he only saw Lei Bingfu carrying Ming Yu and running away on the flowers!
"I want her alive. Capture her." The imperial guards had already surrounded the pavilion. When the assassin was about to escape, they quickly caught her. Unfortunately, they didn't have time to stop her from committing suicide by drinking poison.
Murong Ke had already heard the news and rushed over. His handsome face couldn't hide the anger and worry.
"Father, Father!" Ming Yu raised her head in Lei Bingfu's arms and shouted loudly.
"Ming Yu, are you okay?" Murong Ke strode over and looked Ming Yu up and down. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No, no. The assassin was discovered before she got close. But she killed a palace maid." Ming Yu's face was still a little pale. If Lei Bingfu hadn't discovered that there was something wrong with the palace maid, she might have already died.
Xue Lin walked over and said to Murong Ke in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the assassin committed suicide. She was a palace maid who entered the palace a few years ago. This subordinate exchanged a few moves with her. She is a trained killer. She should be …"
"A former Qian Luocha killer!" Murong Ke knew that Xue Lin was embarrassed. He used to be the Pavilion Master of Qian Luocha, but now there was a Qian Luocha killer who wanted to kill his daughter.
"Yes." Xue Lin lowered his head.
Murong Ke waved his hand and ordered coldly, "Investigate immediately. Find out how many people in the palace are involved."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xue Lin replied.
"Don't be afraid. I'll send you back first." Murong Ke held Ming Yu's hand. He felt that she was probably scared out of her wits.
Ming Yu pointed at Lei Bingfu who was still kneeling on the ground. "Father, it was Lei Guiren who saved me."
Only then did Murong Ke notice that there was a young woman kneeling beside Ming Yu. Her head was slightly lowered, and her light yellow dress was torn in a few places. The back of her hand that was exposed was also abrasions. She looked very disheveled. He could only see half of her fair face.
"Get up!" Murong Ke said lightly.
