Imperial Palace
Capital, Imperial Palace
Murong Ke had recuperated from his cold. Only a few days had passed and he no longer had a recurring fever. He opened his arms and let Fu De help him change his clothes before he went to the morning court. After drinking medicine for three days, he finally felt comfortable all over and all his strength had been restored.
Lei Bingfu stood at the side, forcing herself not to doze off. As long as she could send this old man away, she would be able to have a good sleep. For the past three days, she hadn't had a good rest. Now that he was finally going to leave, she would be able to have a peaceful Jijia Palace.
"Tomorrow is the flower viewing party. You can go." Murong Ke looked at Lei Bingfu and said lightly.
"Yes." Lei Bingfu replied in a low voice. She had not slept well for three days. How could she have the mood to think about tomorrow? Let her have a good sleep first.
Murong Ke frowned. Wasn't she looking forward to going to the flower viewing party? Why did she react so coldly?
Lei Bingfu was thinking in her heart, why didn't he leave? If he didn't leave, she would really fall asleep.
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to the morning court." Fu De reminded her in a low voice. He had been in Jianjia Palace for three days, so he knew very well how tired Lei Bingfu had been these past few days. It wasn't that the emperor had asked her to do something, but she had always been vigilant, as if she had never truly relaxed.
Murong Ke didn't say anything more and walked out.
He finally left!
Lei Bingfu breathed a sigh of relief and softly fell on Ding Xiang's body, "Help me to the bed. Before I wake up, don't wake me up."
"Niang niang, don't you want to eat something?" Ding Xiang asked.
"I'm not eating," Lei Bingfu cried out. She collapsed onto the bed and soon fell asleep.
This was her body! She finally returned it to her. She hoped that Murong Ke would not disturb her again.
Murong Ke steadily walked out of Jijia Palace and said to Fu De, "What was Lei Huipin doing when Zhen was asleep?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, Lei Huipin was always in the side hall. Your Majesty's medicine and meals were all sent to you through Niang niang niang's hands." Fu De said. At first, he thought that Lei Bingfu was just hiding in the side chamber. Later on, he found out that although Lei Huipin seemed to be afraid of trouble and slacking off, in fact, everything in the entire Jianjia Palace was in her hands.
Speaking of which, that was the Jianjia Palace. If anything were to go wrong, she would be the first to bear the brunt. How could Lei Huipin really leave it to others to manage?
Every time Murong Ke woke up, he would see Lei Huipin by his side. He also knew that no matter how unwilling this woman was, she still knew her limits.
"Pick ten bolts of silk and two sets of Diancui headwear from Nanyue and send them to Lei Huipin." Murong Ke said indifferently. He was rewarding her for being tactful these few days.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fu De replied and was secretly delighted. For so many years, in this palace, the Emperor had never rewarded anyone other than the Princess. Lei Huipin was really the first.
It seemed that Lei Huipin was number one in many aspects.
No matter what, for the emperor, there was always something different.
He hoped that the Emperor could really let go of the knot in his heart in the future. In fact, in this harem, there were also women who could accompany the Emperor for a long time.
Murong Ke did not say anything more. He had rested for three days and did not know how many memorials he had accumulated.
…
…
After the morning court, Murong Ke asked Shen Yi to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to see him.
"Your Majesty, are we really going to release Beitang Yu?" Song Jiong asked in a low voice. During the morning court, the ministers discussed the issue of Beitang Yu. Many of the ministers felt that Beitang Yu should be released. It was already very good to be able to exchange him for ten cities.
Murong Ke was holding the letter that Ye Chunnan gave him. His expression was heavy. The war in Wasteland City seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined.
Beitang Xuanyang's temperament had changed greatly. His martial arts were excellent, and he could even use beasts to fight for him …
Although he was not there, he could imagine what it was like.
If Beitang Xuanyang became the new Emperor, it would definitely not be a good thing. But if the Jin Kingdom wanted to swallow up the Northern Dark Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom would not accept it.
As Ming Xi said, they first wanted the Northern Dark Kingdom to fall into internal strife, completely becoming a kingdom without a kingdom, just like the Xiliang Kingdom.
"Beitang Yu is useless in the Jin Kingdom." Murong Ke said, "He will go back and deal with Qian Danqing."
"Will he release the tiger back to the mountains?" Song Jiong asked.
Murong Ke's lips curled into a sneer, "Even if Beitang Yu is a tiger, he is a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out."
There was nothing to be afraid of.
Song Jiong thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. Even if Beitang Yu returned, the Northern Dark Kingdom would not be the same as before. Qian Danqing had already shown his wild ambition, and Beitang Xuanwei was also accumulating power in Dingdu City. Everything depended on whether Beitang Yu could safely return to the palace.
"Your Majesty, Lord Shen requests an audience."
"Come in." Murong Ke said in a deep voice.
Shen Yi walked in. "Your subject greets Your Majesty."
Murong Ke motioned for him to rise. "Has Beitang Yu been noisy recently?"
"Your Majesty, Beitang Yu has been staying in his room all day long without saying a word. He is no longer as noisy as before." Shen Yi said.
"Let him come see me. Tomorrow, you will be responsible for sending him back to the Northern Dark Kingdom." Murong Ke said in a deep voice.
Shen Yi was startled. Was he going to let Beitang Yu go? "Your Majesty, what about Fang Rusheng?"
Fang Rusheng was the Prime Minister of the Northern Dark Kingdom. Beitang Yu would probably bring him back.
"Let him go back with us." Murong Ke said lightly. He did not even care about Beitang Yu, let alone Fang Rusheng.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yi said.
Beitang Yu, who had been locked up in the secret guards for an unknown period of time, was already in despair. He no longer wanted to see Murong Ke. Even ten cities could not be exchanged for his freedom. He did not think that Murong Ke would let him go. Moreover, the Qian Family had long betrayed him. Why would they let someone save him?
Although he was in despair, he was still unwilling.
"Emperor of the Northern Dark Kingdom, our Majesty invites you." Du Wei opened the door and called out to Beitang Yu.
Beitang Yu did not react and looked at Du Wei expressionlessly.
"Please." Du Wei said.
"Hehe, is my Northern Dark Kingdom dead, or does your Emperor want to kill me?" Beitang Yu asked with a sneer.
Du Wei said in a low voice, "You will know when you enter the palace and see our Emperor."
Beitang Yu glanced at him, "How is the war in the Wilderness?"
"Our army has won a great victory." Du Wei said calmly.
"Qian Danqing died in battle?" Beitang Yu raised his eyebrows as if he had already predicted the outcome.
Du Wei said, "No."
Beitang Yu showed a disappointed look, "Ye Chunnan is too useless. He should have killed Qian Danqing."
Otherwise, he would have died with regrets after becoming a prisoner in the Jin Kingdom.
"Our General Ye is brave and good at fighting. Otherwise, how could we have won a great victory?" Du Wei said.
Beitang Yu snorted coldly. He tidied up a little and went to see Murong Ke.
