This was the first time Lei Bingfu had seen Murong Ke at such a close distance. He was much younger than she had imagined. During the conferring ceremony, she had only seen him from afar and could not see his true appearance.
So he was actually this handsome.
It seemed that serving him was not too tiring. It was much better than before.
Murong Ke sized up this woman. She looked at him fearlessly, as if she was judging something.
"You know martial arts?" Murong Ke's eyes were indifferent as he asked Lei Bingfu in a deep voice.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this concubine has only learned a little bit of martial arts from a young age for the sake of strengthening my body. It can't be considered martial arts." Lei Bingfu replied in a low voice.
Although it was only superficial knowledge, her observation skills were excellent. Otherwise, she wouldn't have noticed that something was wrong with the palace maids.
"You saved the princess, I will reward you." Murong Ke said calmly.
Lei Bingfu smiled faintly. "It's good that the Princess is fine. This concubine doesn't dare to ask for any rewards."
Murong Ke glanced at her indifferently before turning to look at Ming Yu. "Ming Yu, you've been frightened. This Emperor will send you back to rest."
"Alright." Ming Yu nodded lightly. Actually, she wasn't too frightened. She was just a little curious. Why would Lei Bingfu protect her at all costs? Shen Huan 'er, who usually fawned over her, would only stand outside the gazebo and shout for help at this critical moment, unlike Lei Bingfu, who stood behind her to protect her.
The assassin had already been taken away, and the frightened concubines were all kneeling on the ground. Their faces were pale, and they looked like they had yet to recover from the shock.
"Princess, are you alright?" Shen Huan 'er looked at Ming Yu anxiously.
"I'm fine." Ming Yu smiled.
Murong Ke did not even look at Shen Huan 'er. "Go back. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave their palace."
Murong Ke was shocked that Qian Luosha's killers would appear in the palace. Other than the palace maids, there might be others who used to be Qian Luosha's subordinates. He was too careless. He actually thought that after disbanding Qian Luosha, they would no longer be killers.
"Yes, Your Majesty." With such a big thing happening, with how much the emperor doted on the princess, this matter would not be easily forgotten. It was unknown how long she would be grounded.
Shen Huan 'er looked at Lei Bingfu, who was standing not far away. She felt a little jealous. Why did Lei Bingfu have the chance to stand up for herself today? She saved the princess, so the emperor would definitely notice her.
Lei Bingfu didn't know what Shen Huan 'er was thinking. After Murong Ke and Ming Yu left, she was helped back by her palace maid.
"Imperial Father, who is that palace maid?" Ming Yu was being held by Murong Ke. She could feel the gloomy and angry aura from her Imperial Father.
"He used to be an assassin and was arranged to enter the palace." Murong Ke said in a slightly cold voice. He did not intend to hide this matter from Ming Yu. She had already begun to understand, and there were some things that she should know in her heart.
Ming Yu knew that her father used to be the pavilion master of Thousand Rakshasa. However, Thousand Rakshasa had been disbanded for many years. "Is there someone who wants to harm father?"
Murong Ke looked down at Ming Yu and smiled. "Why do you say that?"
"Intuition," Mingyu said.
"Hurting you is the same as hurting me," Murong Ke said in a low voice. "Teng Ye colluded with Beitang Yu in Wasteland City and wanted to start a rebellion. Mingxi found out. Teng Ye still has a spy in the capital. These days, they have been looking for his accomplices. I didn't expect that he also arranged assassins in the palace …"
Murong Ke took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that surged in his heart. Letting Teng Ye become the commander of the secret guards was the worst decision he had ever made.
Ming Yu held Murong Ke's hand. "The people of Thousand Rakshasa don't necessarily listen to him. Imperial Father used to be the pavilion master."
"I won't kill the innocent." Murong Ke understood what Ming Yu meant and said in a low voice.
A few days passed like this.
Because Ming Yu was almost assassinated, the number of guards in the entire palace increased a lot. It was as if the whole palace was shrouded in an indescribably oppressive atmosphere. Lei Bingfu didn't inquire about when she could go out. She focused on recuperating from her injuries. It was not easy for her to have such smooth and tender skin.
However, although she didn't pay attention to the outside world, she would occasionally hear of a palace maid being captured. It seemed that one of the maids was also taken away.
Why did she feel like a storm was coming?
Speaking of which, how could there be assassins in the palace? Moreover, they were targeting Ming Yu. If they had the ability, they could go kill Murong Ke. What was the point of targeting a child? If they didn't know who was behind it, they would definitely not be able to achieve anything big.
"Lei Guiren, Her Royal Highness is here." A palace maid came in and whispered to Lei Bingfu.
"Oh, quickly invite the princess in." Lei Bingfu was lying on the soft couch resting. Hearing that Ming Yu had come, she slowly sat up and saw Ming Yu's flower-like figure appearing in her sight.
Ming Yu walked into the hall and saw Lei Bingfu wearing only a plain dress. She didn't have any makeup on her face and was looking at her with a smile.
"Lei Guiren seems to be more at ease alone." Ming Yu glanced at Lei Bingfu and wondered where her leisure came from.
It seemed that she had long been used to life in the palace and knew how to find a way to relax.
If she remembered correctly, Lei Bingfu had only been in the palace for a few months.
"Who doesn't feel more at ease alone?" Lei Bingfu winked at Ming Yu. "This is a preserved fruit I made myself. Do you want to try it?"
Ming Yu glanced at it and sat down beside her. "Aren't you anxious?"
"Huh?" Lei Bingfu was stunned. She didn't quite understand what Ming Yu meant.
"Imperial Father hasn't given you a reward yet. Do you mind?" Ming Yu asked in a small voice. Lei Bingfu had saved her, and Imperial Father had said that she would be rewarded last time. However, a few days had passed and there had been no news at all. She was worried that Lei Bingfu would feel uncomfortable.
Lei Bingfu laughed lightly. "I didn't save you for any reward."
"Then why did you do it?" Ming Yu stared at Lei Bingfu with bright eyes.
"For a promise," Lei Bingfu said in a low voice.
Ming Yu was stunned. "What promise?"
"You will know in the future. Now is not the time to tell you." Lei Bingfu said with a smile. "The Princess was assassinated a few days ago. How come she dares to come out alone today?"
"The palace has already been purged, and there are so many guards around. What else could happen?" Ming Yu curled her lips. She was so bored in the palace that her hair was standing on end.
Lei Bingfu laughed lightly. "It must be very boring. Let me play with Your Highness."
"We can't leave the palace. What's so fun about it?" Ming Yu said with disdain. She had already played all the games in the palace.
"That's true. Just the two of us can't play to our heart's content." Lei Bingfu waved a hand. "Let's play money."
Ming Yu cried out. "No, just playing football. There is a venue in the palace."
"Does the Emperor allow it?" Lei Bingfu raised an eyebrow.
