Murong Ke asked Xu Jinbei and Lin Yanbei to go to the Wilderness together. He wanted these two teenagers, who used to be his study companions, to stay by Ming Xi's side. They could clearly see the changes in Ming Xi. He knew that Xu Jinbei could see it, but he didn't say it out loud.
He could not stop Ming Xi from going to the Wilderness. He only wanted to bring Ming Yu back along the way.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to go to the Ye Family and ask?" Song Jiong asked Murong Ke in a low voice. He didn't know if Mingxi had heard anything at Ye's house. Could it be that General Ye had sent a letter back?
"No need." Murong Ke said lightly, "I will send someone to ask."
After all, Jin Shanshan was Ye Chunnan's wife. It was not a good idea to summon her into the palace for questioning or to send someone to her door. Moreover, he had people secretly investigating the Ye and Lu families. He could not alert the enemy.
Murong Ke asked Fu De to pass a message to Jianjia Palace that he was going to have a meal tonight.
Lei Bingfu was currently lazily basking in the sun in the courtyard. She still did not know that Ming Yu had been taken away. Murong Ke had sealed off all news from the Fengyi Palace. Furthermore, he had issued an edict stating that Ming Yu was sick and needed to recuperate quietly. No one was to disturb her.
Lei Bingfu had seen Mingyu earlier. That girl's face was ruddy and her body was even better than hers. How could she get sick just like that? Who knew what Murong Ke was up to?
"Your Highness, aren't you worried about the princess?" She was still in the mood to bask in the sun and even wanted her to go pick up the petals to soak in the bath. If the emperor knew that she didn't care about the princess, she would fall out of favor.
"I'm worried." She wanted to know what had happened to Ming Yu more than anyone else, but this was not something she could find out just because she wanted to. Her intuition told her that it had something to do with Ming Xi, but as for what it was, it was really hard to guess.
Lilac said, "Then why don't you act a little worried? The other concubines have all sent people to take care of them."
If Murong Ke wanted to see the concubines in the harem care about Ming Yu, he would not have ordered that no one should disturb them.
"His Majesty said not to disturb the princess. We'll just wait for a few more days." Lei Bingfu lightly said. It was really warm. She was starting to doubt her days outside the palace. What was wrong with her that she felt that life in the palace was more suitable for her?
However, if she did not enter the palace, in the future, she would marry into an aristocratic family and become the wife of an aristocratic family. Even if she became the official wife, how could she guarantee that her husband would not take other women as concubines? Since they were both servants, it seemed that entering the palace would allow her to display her talents.
Forget it, forget it! Since she was already in the palace, there was no use in thinking so much. As long as she treated Ming Yu well, when Ming Yu grew up, her good days would come.
"It would be great if I had a cup of mulberry wine at this time. I wonder who the mulberry wine will be with this year … But the mulberry wine of a drunkard makes one feel helpless when parting." Lei Bingfu drank a mouthful of fruit wine, pretending that she was drinking her favorite mulberry wine from her previous life.
Unfortunately, the taste was still a little lacking.
"Who do you want to drink with?" Murong Ke appeared out of nowhere and stood behind Lei Bingfu.
Lei Bingfu was so scared that she hurriedly sat up from the rattan chair. In her heart, she scolded this person for walking like a ghost. He actually silently appeared behind her.
"Long live the emperor." Lei Bingfu respectfully bowed and buried her head very low.
"Zhen asked you a question, but you still haven't answered. Who do you want to drink mulberry wine with?" Murong Ke lightly asked.
Lei Bingfu was neither servile nor overbearing. She unhurriedly replied, "This concubine wants to drink mulberry wine with Your Majesty."
Murong Ke silently gave a cold snort. Her etiquette and rules were completely flawless and her tone of voice was also very sincere. However, he could still feel that she did not mean what she said.
"You went to see Ming Yu yesterday?" Murong Ke temporarily did not bother with her and let her stand up to speak.
"This concubine heard that the princess was frightened outside yesterday, so I went to see her." Lei Bingfu said in a low voice, thinking that he was here to question her about going to see Ming Yu.
Murong Ke sized her up. Ming Yu was actually not a child who was easy to get close to. Even he had to spend half a year to make her trust him wholeheartedly. What ability did this Lei Bingfu have to actually make Ming Yu trust her so quickly?
"Did Ming Yu mention anything to you?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.
"Ah?" Lei Bingfu was stunned. She did not really understand Murong Ke's purpose in coming here.
Was he here to question her or to ask about something else?
Murong Ke waved his hand and had the surrounding servants leave.
Fu De and Ding Xiang exchanged glances and the two of them stood far away.
Seeing this scene, Lei Bingfu's heart paused for a moment.
"Ming Yu is missing." Murong Ke said in a low voice.
"…" Lei Bingfu's expression changed slightly. She looked at Murong Ke in shock, not really understanding what he meant.
Murong Ke lightly said, "Last night, Ming Yu disappeared from the palace. She should have been taken away by Ming Xi."
"Where are they going?" Lei Bingfu asked in surprise. If Ming Xi wanted to take Ming Yu away, why did he have to sneak around in the middle of the night? That was his sister. Couldn't he just enter the palace to pick her up?
"The Wilderness." Murong Ke's expression was gloomy.
Wasn't there a war going on? Why would Ming Xi take Ming Yu to that place? Lei Bingfu was puzzled, but she did not ask. Her intuition told her that Murong Ke did not simply come to tell her about this.
"Although they know that Yan Xiaoliu is injured, Ming Xi has no intention of going to the Wilderness. He went to the Ye Family before entering the palace to find Ming Yu. I want you to do something." Murong Ke stared coldly at Lei Bingfu. He looked as if he would not let her off easily if she did not handle this matter properly.
Lei Bingfu straightened her back. Her scalp went numb. She felt that what Murong Ke wanted her to do was definitely not something good.
"Choose a reason for Madam Ye to enter the palace and test her. See if it was General Ye who sent a letter asking Ming Xi to go to the Wilderness." Murong Ke lightly said.
"Your Majesty, isn't it easy to know if General Ye sent a letter back?" Wouldn't it be easy to check the courier station?
Murong Ke glanced at her and said, "General Ye sent a letter back yesterday. What I want to know is what General Ye's letter says."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best." Lei Bingfu lowered her eyes and responded. She did not care at all what General Ye wrote in the letter. Moreover, Ming Yu followed Ming Xi to the Wilderness. Would there be any danger? She had seen Ming Xi's ability with her own eyes.
Would Ming Yu come back if she found out what letter General Ye wrote?
"I don't doubt General Ye." Murong Ke looked at Lei Bingfu's indifferent expression and added in a cold voice.
Lei Bingfu was slightly startled. "I understand. You are just concerned about the Princess."
"I can't let Ming Yu go to such a dangerous place." Murong Ke snorted, stood up and left.
