Capital City, Royal Palace.
Ever since Teng Ye's deeds were exposed, his remaining lackeys in the capital had all been eliminated, especially in the palace. Regardless of whether they were innocent or not, all palace servants related to Qian Luocha had been sent out.
Murong Ke had just received the news that Ye Chunnan had led his army to the Wasteland City and was already facing the army of the Dark North Kingdom.
Beitang Yu was still in Ming Xi's hands, and the Darknorth Kingdom's army would not be dispatched so easily. Murong Ke was not worried that there would be a war in the Wilderness, but if Beitang Yu's two sons wanted to take the opportunity to seize the throne, then that was another matter. Therefore, he still wanted to see Beitang Yu as soon as possible.
Ming Yu, who was in the back palace, had not left the palace for half a year. She felt that this was the most boring day of her life. If it weren't for the fact that there were many concubines in the palace to chat with to pass the time, she would definitely be bored to death in the palace.
After being rejected by Murong Ke to go out of the palace, Ming Yu stopped visiting Murong Ke in a fit of pique. Early in the morning, she went to Lei Bingfu's place to complain.
"I haven't left the palace since I recovered. I heard that there are many interesting things outside the palace. Everyone else has played with them, but I haven't." Ming Yu felt extremely wronged and wanted Lei Bingfu to comfort her.
"You have a precious body. His Majesty is worried about your safety so he doesn't let you go out." Lei Bingfu said with a smile, "If there's something fun outside, send someone to bring it into the palace for you to play."
Ming Yu rolled her eyes without a care for her image. "It's not fun to bring them into the palace. Who knows how many checks they have to go through? If there's even the slightest bit of danger, they won't be allowed in. It's not fun at all."
Lei Bingfu laughed softly. She naturally understood that everything that could enter the palace must have been checked. "Where do you want to go after leaving the palace?"
"I'm going to look for my cousin and the others. Sigh, forget it, I can't go out anyway." Ming Yu sighed. "I really envy Ming Xi. He's simply too carefree."
Thinking of Ming Xi, Ming Yu thought of the fire phoenix by his side. Thinking of the time when the fire phoenix had brought her into the sky, her expression changed slightly.
Lei Bingfu went forward to tuck Ming Yu's stray hair behind her ear. "You grew up in the palace. Why haven't you gotten used to life in the palace?"
"Yes, I also think it's strange. Maybe I'm not suited for life in the palace." Ming Yu said in a low voice. If her father and mother had brought her along with them, then perhaps she would have ended up like Ming Xi.
However, there weren't so many ifs. Her current situation was pretty good. At least her father doted on her.
Lei Bingfu looked at her for a while. "You'll get used to it in the future."
"In the future, I also want to leave the palace freely." Ming Yu said.
She really was a naive child now. Lei Bingfu chuckled and lightly scratched Ming Yu's nose with her finger. "In the future, you will understand what it means to have no choice."
"I don't want to understand." Ming Yu frowned and said, "Imperial Father is already the Emperor. He is the most powerful person in the Jin Kingdom. What else is there to be helpless about?"
Lei Bingfu was taken aback. "You seem to have a point."
If being an emperor was something that one couldn't do as they pleased, then it would be meaningless.
"Right, right." Ming Yu was very pleased that Lei Bingfu agreed with her.
Lei Bingfu smiled and nodded. "Yes, you have to change this situation in the future."
"Then come with me to find Imperial Father. Let Imperial Father allow me to leave the palace." Ming Yu looked at Lei Bingfu with sparkling eyes.
"His Majesty said that the concubines in the Inner Palace cannot go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity without his edict. I can't help you." Lei Bingfu said.
"That's too simple. Imperial Father will definitely come to find me tonight. If I'm here, he will come to Jianjia Palace." Ming Yu said as a matter of fact.
"…" Lei Bingfu was somewhat speechless. "Princess, you should return to your own palace."
Ming Yu silently looked at Lei Bingfu for a while. She held her chin with one hand. "Lei Huipin, you don't seem to like seeing Imperial Father."
Lei Bingfu suddenly looked over. "Princess ah, you can't say such things. How could I not like seeing His Majesty? I can't wait to have His Majesty's favor."
Although that was what she said, Lei Bingfu didn't show it. The other concubines were doing their best to get close to Imperial Father. Only she hid at the back every time. Although her position was not low, she still didn't have much of a presence in the palace.
"I'll stay here for a few days." Ming Yu suddenly said.
Lei Bingfu slightly frowned. "Princess, that's not very good."
Although she intended to cultivate a relationship with Ming Yu, she was still angry with Murong Ke. If she stayed here, would Murong Ke think that she used Ming Yu to get close to him?
"Look, you still say that you don't want to see Imperial Father. If you put in more effort, Imperial Father will definitely notice you." Ming Yu squinted at Lei Bingfu and said.
"…" Lei Bingfu really wanted to know what this child was thinking. "Ming Yu ah, who taught you these words? You're still young. There are some words that you can't say."
Ming Yu pursed her lips. She knew that she couldn't interrupt when it came to Imperial Father's Inner Palace. However, she was a little disappointed with Lei Bingfu. "Then you should take the initiative."
Lei Bingfu smiled. "I think it's good like this."
"What's good?" Ming Yu rolled her eyes and asked. The other concubines were laughing at her. Although she was conferred the title of Hui Pin, she couldn't get the Emperor's favor at all. Wasn't she the same as them?
"Well, it's like drinking water. I think it's good, others think it's bad, but what does it have to do with me?" Lei Bingfu said with a smile.
Ming Yu looked at her doubtfully. "Do you … not like living in the palace?"
"No, I like it." She was already used to life in the Inner Palace. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become a beauty.
"Then you …" Why didn't you take the initiative to get close to the Emperor?
Before Ming Yu could finish her question, a palace servant's voice came from outside. "The Emperor has arrived."
Lei Bingfu unconsciously frowned. In fact, she didn't hate Murong Ke. At least he was much more handsome than the Emperor she served in her previous life. However, she could see that his heart wasn't in the Inner Palace. His heart belonged to someone else. She didn't want to spend the rest of her life fighting with another woman for a man.
It was too tiring!
When a man had her own white moonlight in his heart, no matter what she did, she couldn't compare to that person.
"Why is Imperial Father here?" Ming Yu frowned. "Could it be that he agreed to let me leave the palace?"
"Don't think too much." As Lei Bingfu said this, she stood up and walked outside. Just then, she saw a figure in bright yellow appear by the door. She knelt down. "This concubine greets Your Majesty."
Murong Ke glanced at Lei Bingfu indifferently. His gaze fell on Ming Yu who was behind her.
"Imperial Father." Ming Yu pouted and bowed.
"Get up." Murong Ke said mildly. He stared at Ming Yu. "Why didn't you go to the Imperial Study today?"
Ming Yu said gloomily, "I'm sick. I don't want to go."
