Murong Ke protected Mingyu like a precious jewel. A few days ago, he was almost injured by an assassin. Would he agree to let them go to the arena to play?
Ming Yu smiled and said, "Of course I will allow it. The entire palace has been purged. Otherwise, why do you think I would come to find you?"
"You can come out, but the emperor hasn't lifted the ban, so no one can go out yet." Lei Bingfu waved her hand. She wanted to go out, but she didn't want to be the one to stand out.
"It seems like the ban hasn't been lifted yet. I'll go look for Father." Ming Yu said. She stood up and walked to the door. Suddenly, she turned around and looked at Lei Bingfu. "You … Have you seen my brother before?"
Lei Bingfu silently looked at Ming Yu, then said after a while, "I met him once in White Dragon River."
So, the promise she made previously was related to Ming Xi?
Ming Yu didn't continue asking. If it was a promise between Ming Xi and Lei Bingfu, then Lei Bingfu should have something that Ming Xi could trust.
Lei Bingfu gazed at Ming Yu's departing figure. This girl and Mo Mingxi were truly a pair of twins. When they had first entered the palace, she had thought that Ming Yu was a naive and ignorant little princess who had been protected, so she had maintained a wait-and-see attitude. Although she had promised Mo Mingxi, if Ming Yu was useless, no matter how much she supported her, it would be useless.
She watched coldly from the side as Shen Huan 'er tried to please Ming Yu and Ming Yu got along with Shen Huan' er. She thought that Ming Yu was simple and easy to please and would be easily fooled in the future. She didn't expect that Ming Yu was actually a very smart girl. She just looked innocent.
However, Ming Yu was indeed very smart, but to become an empress in the future … she would probably have to pay a great price. She didn't seem to have that kind of ambition.
Anyway, Murong Ke had no other children now. If she could support Ming Yu, her life in the palace would be comfortable in the future.
Ming Yu didn't know what Lei Bingfu was thinking. In her opinion, Lei Bingfu and the other concubines probably had the same thoughts. They all hoped to be favored by their father. She was quite optimistic about Lei Bingfu, at least she was different from the others.
She came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to see her father, but was stopped outside by Fu De.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is currently interrogating him inside. Could you please wait in the side hall?" Fu De said to Ming Yu.
"Interrogate who?" Ming Yu asked curiously. Didn't they already confess? The spies in the palace had already been caught, and even the officials in the imperial court who had colluded with Teng Ye had been found. Who else was there to interrogate?
Ford pointed in the direction of the harem. "It seems to have something to do with Shen Guipin's maiden family."
Shen Huan 'er? Ming Yu raised her eyebrows. "Then I'll wait here."
Shen Huan 'er knelt at the center of the hall with a pale face. Her mind was blank, and she could not believe what she had just heard.
Her father colluded with Teng Ye … to rebel?
How could this be?
"Your Majesty, this concubine has been wrongly accused. This concubine's father ….. is completely loyal to you and would never rebel. He must have been wrongly accused." Shen Huan 'er's voice was weak. She defended Shen Yuexuan, but she often saw Teng Ye looking for her father. Could it be true?
"We have sent people to Canghai City. Whether your father is wrongly accused or not, we will know soon," Murong Ke said calmly. Murong Ke said indifferently. He knew that Shen Yuexuan was related to Teng Ye, but there was no evidence of him rebelling. He suspected that Shen Huan 'er was working for Teng Ye. After investigating for a few days, Shen Huan' er seemed to know nothing.
Shen Huan 'er's face was covered in tears. She thought that with her hard work, she would be able to have a place in the palace in the future. She was full of hope for the future, and her heart was full of love for the Emperor. How ….. How could it be like this in just one night?
"Take Shen Guipin back. Without our orders, don't let her see anyone, and don't let anyone see her," Murong Ke said in a deep voice and ordered people to take Shen Huan 'er away.
Song Jiong looked at Shen Huan 'er's back, then turned to look at Murong Ke. "Your Majesty …"
"If you want to plead for Teng Ye, then you'd better not speak," Murong Ke said coldly.
"I don't dare!" Song Jiong said. How could he still plead for Teng Ye? He was already disappointed in Teng Ye for doing such a thing. In the past, he only thought that Teng Ye was too stubborn. Who would have thought that he was hiding such an ambition? "But … Shen Yuexuan used to be His Majesty's good friend. How could he …"
"Shen Yuexuan is indeed not that stupid. He has already confessed, and confessed all the people related to Teng Ye. In consideration of his contribution to Canghai City, I will let him atone for his crimes by meritorious deeds," Murong Ke said calmly. He had been in contact with Shen Yuexuan before, and he knew that Shen Yuexuan was a merchant who only cared about profit. If Shen Yuexuan's daughter was not sent to the palace, he might have already rebelled with Teng Ye.
It was not that Shen Yuexuan did not want to rebel, but he did not have the time.
"Then Shen Guipin …" Song Jiong pointed at the door, although Shen Huan 'er had already left.
"Keep her, and wait for news from Canghai City." He wanted to see how many people Shen Yuexuan had recruited, and whether he really wanted to atone for his crimes by meritorious deeds. Moreover, Shen Huan 'er's life was saved by Yaoyao, and he would not kill her for this reason.
Song Jiong sighed. "If it wasn't for Young Master Mingxi, I'm afraid … the consequences would be unimaginable."
If Teng Ye had really colluded with Beitang Yu and opened the borders to allow the elite soldiers of the Dark North Kingdom to enter the city, the Jin Nation would definitely be caught unprepared.
Fortunately …
The most important thing was that Young Master Mingxi had actually captured Beitang Yu.
This was simply the best news in the world.
"Mingxi, this child …" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Murong Ke's mouth. It was a little different from Mo Rongzhan, but there were many similarities. "With him around, he will definitely be able to protect Ming Yu in the future."
Song Jiong thought to himself that if Mingxi wanted to inherit the throne, there was actually no one more suitable than him.
"Is there any news from Emperor Qin and the others?" Murong Ke frowned. Why had Yaoyao and the others not returned yet? Where did they go?
"Not yet …" Song Jiong replied in a low voice.
At this moment, Ford's voice came from outside. "Your Majesty, the Princess requests an audience."
Murong Ke's cold and stiff expression softened. "Come in."
Ming Yu's light and graceful figure appeared in Murong Ke's sight. "Greetings, Imperial Father."
"What's wrong? You've only been locked up for a few days, and you're already feeling unbearable? "Murong Ke asked, amused.
"Imperial Father, I want to go to the court," Ming Yu said in a delicate voice.
Murong Ke's face turned serious. "You haven't come to the Imperial Study to read the memorials for a few days. Why are you already thinking of playing when you've just been released?"
"It's because I've been locked up in my room for a few days that I want to play. Otherwise, I won't be able to get my spirits up." Ming Yu pouted and said, "Don't lock everyone up. I want to go to the court with Lei Guiren."
"Lei Guiren?" Murong Ke frowned. He couldn't remember who Lei Guiren was, and thought that it was some concubine who was trying to curry favor with Ming Yu.
"It's the Lei Guiren who saved me last time. I asked her to accompany me to the court, but she said that I can't leave Jianjia Palace yet," Ming Yu said in a low voice.
