Lei Bingfu knew that Lu Yaoyao was an extraordinary woman. Other than the title of the number one beauty in the world, she also had amazing medical skills. She had heard too many stories about the former Empress, but she had never heard that she also knew martial arts, and that she was extraordinarily powerful.
Seeing that those monks had become assassins, Lei Bingfu felt that she would definitely die here today. She had been thinking about what last words to say. At least, she had to let her mother live the rest of her life without worries. She couldn't let Concubine Liang have a chance to bully her, and she couldn't let Murong Ke take advantage of her. No matter what, she had to ask for more rewards.
However, she hadn't thought of any reward for dying in the line of duty. Accompanying Murong Ke to Huguo Temple was official business. She hadn't thought about it yet. Then she saw Princess Qin holding a silver whip in her hand. She whipped the monks one by one until they were motionless on the ground.
"…" Lei Bingfu stood in the middle in a daze. Looking at Lady Qin who was already standing in front of the soldiers, she could not react. What? Is Princess Qin's Kung Fu so good?
Not only Lei Bingfu, but the surrounding soldiers were also stunned. They were here to protect Princess Qin and Lei Huipin, but now it seemed that they had nothing to do with it. Princess Qin was protecting them.
"Don't approach them, they have insects on them." Ye Zhen said to the soldiers behind her, "You protect Lei Huipin and leave first."
"Princess Qin, what about you?" Lei Huipin called out. How could she just leave like this?
Ye Zhen said, "I'm fine."
Mo Rongzhan and Murong Ke had arrived quickly, just in time to see Ye Zhen throw one of the monks away with a whip.
"Those monks are being controlled by Gu." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, "Don't go near those people. If the host dies, the blood worms will break out of the host's body and look for another host."
"Yaoyao …" Murong Ke's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't control his worry for Ye Zhen.
Mo Rongzhan didn't seem to see the worry in Murong Ke's eyes. He had already come to Ye Zhen's side, holding her slender waist with one hand and protecting her in his arms. The monks were not Mo Rongzhan's opponents at all. After a few rounds, they were completely unable to move.
"Yaoyao, are you alright?" Murong Ke rushed in front of Ye Zhen. His tone was urgent and nervous. He seemed to have forgotten everything around him. He only saw Ye Zhen in his eyes.
"I'm fine. These people's martial arts skills are not high. They are controlled by the Blood Worm." Ye Zhen said, "Before they die, let the others leave first. Otherwise, it will be troublesome when the blood worms appear."
Murong Ke frowned and said, "Leave with Ah Zhan first. I'll handle things here."
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him and said, "You won't be able to handle those worms. Yaoyao and I will stay here. You guys leave first."
"No way!" Murong Ke rejected without hesitation. He could not let Yaoyao take the risk here.
"There's no more time. Everyone, hurry up and leave this courtyard." When Ye Zhen saw the painful look on the faces of the monks, she knew that the blood worms had broken out of their eggs and were about to devour them.
Mo Rongzhan immediately set up a barrier around the ten monks so that the blood worms could not crawl out of the barrier.
Ye Zhen turned to look at Lei Bingfu and saw that her expression was stiff and her face was not very good. She quickly asked, "Lei Huipin, are you hurt?"
"I …" Lei Huipin glanced at Murong Ke and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. I'm not hurt."
"Your Majesty, you guys leave first." Ye Zhen said to Murong Ke, "Ah Zhan and I are here. We know how to deal with the Gu worms."
They could not explain how the blood worms came about. They could only say that they were Gu worms so that they would not be suspected.
Murong Ke looked at Ye Zhen with deep eyes, gradually suppressing the surging emotions in his heart. She and Ah Zhan had a secret that he could not know. He could see it.
"Alright." Murong Ke answered in a low voice. He followed Mo Rongzhan's instructions and ordered the people around to leave while he brought Lei Bingfu back to the palace. "Be careful."
Ye Zhen nodded gently at him and looked sideways at the crimson worm inside the barrier.
The blood worms had already eaten the monks' bodies clean. But because they could not leave the barrier, they were all wriggling in a ball. Without a new host, they would die soon.
"Ah Zhan …" Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan. These people should be coming for her.
"There are blood demons in the capital." Mo Rongzhan said coldly. "I'll check tonight."
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Burn these monks first. I'll ask the abbot to summon all the monks to see how many of them still have blood worms."
"Mmm." Mo Rongzhan formed a barrier around the entire courtyard to prevent others from seeing the situation inside.
…
…
Lei Bingfu sat silently beside Murong Ke. Her face was still calm, but her heart was already in turmoil.
In fact, she had guessed it long ago, but she did not expect it to be …
"Are you frightened?" Murong Ke asked lightly. Lei Bingfu's silence was a little strange.
Lei Bingfu's eyes moved slightly. She looked at his handsome and cold side profile. She could not deny that Murong Ke was really a handsome man. Moreover, as the Emperor, he did not indulge in wine and women. He was a wise ruler that was hard to come by. His entire body was filled with charm that could make women fall in love with him.
Even she, a woman with a dry heart, almost fell in love with him. Fortunately, she did not fall in love with him.
"This concubine is fine. Princess Qin … protected this concubine." Lei Bingfu lowered her head and her voice was very soft.
Her eyes fell on his hands hanging on his knees. When she mentioned Princess Qin, he suddenly clenched his fists.
In Hu Guo Temple, he appeared in the courtyard and only saw Princess Qin. His face was nervous and scared. She had never seen such deep affection …
Yes, she finally saw affection on his face other than indifference.
It turned out that he was not ruthless …
It turned out that he had a heart …
She knew that there must be a ray of white moonlight hidden in his heart.
She just did not expect that the person he loved was Lu Yaoyao.
He turned out to be so … so deeply in love with Princess Qin.
Oh, it turned out that he doted on Ming Yu, not because she was his niece, but because of Princess Qin.
He did not have a wife for so many years, not because he wanted to protect Ming Yu, but because of Princess Qin.
How could he love a person so deeply, and that person was someone else's wife?
Lei Bingfu could not describe her feelings at this time. Today, she saw Murong Ke's undisguised heart for the first time in Hu Guo Temple. Although it was only a short moment, she seemed to understand him at once.
"Are those people aiming at Princess Qin?" Murong Ke did not know that Lei Bingfu had seen through his mind. All his thoughts were on Ye Zhen.
"It seems so. Their expressions were very strange. Their eyes were dull as if they were being controlled." Lei Bingfu whispered.
Murong Ke frowned and did not speak. He heard Mo Rongzhan say that those people were controlled by Gu insects.
