Lei Bingfu sincerely hoped that Ming Yu could experience a life outside that she could not experience in the palace. This way, she would not have any regrets in her life. The palace was only so small. Every day, it only revolved around those insignificant things. Outside the palace, outside the capital, there were many wonderful things that people yearned for. If one did not go out, they would never be able to experience them.
The wider one's vision was, the bigger one's heart would be.
Living in the palace for so long would only make one narrow minded.
However, Murong Ke was obviously different from what she thought.
"I heard that Your Majesty left the palace at a young age?" Lei Bingfu said with a smile and took the initiative to give Murong Ke a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
"Mhm." Murong Ke replied lightly, as if he didn't really want to talk about the past.
Lei Bingfu didn't intend to stop asking. "Don't you like life in the palace?"
"What exactly do you want to ask?" Murong Ke looked at Lei Bingfu sharply.
"Your Majesty grew up in the palace, so you should know better than anyone what life in the palace is like. You have already seen the splendor outside the palace and experienced different lives, but Ming Yu has not seen or experienced anything." Lei Bingfu said in a low voice. She didn't make it too clear. After all, the other party was an Emperor. However, she was already taking a huge risk by saying these words. If she wasn't careful, she might anger the Emperor.
Murong Ke looked at her coldly. "Ming Yu is still young, and this is a critical period. Letting her come back is for her own good."
"Is there no danger in the palace?" Lei Bingfu asked in a low voice. If the capital and the palace were really that safe, then there would not have been the two previous assassinations.
These words seemed to have stepped on Murong Ke's sore spot, and his expression became even more gloomy. "Shut up!"
Lei Bingfu was silent for a moment, but she couldn't help but say, "How do you know that others can't protect Ming Yu? How do you know Mingyu can't protect herself? "
"Lei Bingfu, how dare you!" Murong Ke flew into a rage and pointed a finger at Lei Bingfu. His eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. "How dare you doubt us!"
Lei Bingfu calmly knelt down. "Emperor, please calm your anger. This minister's concubine knows her mistake."
"How dare you! How dare you!?" Murong Ke asked angrily.
"This concubine was wrong." Lei Bingfu readily admitted her mistake. Since she had already said it, he could do whatever he wanted.
Murong Ke was so angry that his face turned ashen. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that. He cared about Ming Yu and wanted to protect her, but this woman dared to say something like that? He knew what she was trying to say. She was telling him that he didn't like life in the palace, but he didn't want Ming Yu to experience another kind of life outside. Wasn't this what she was trying to say?
He was furious at her for seeing blood, and even more furious at the words she had yet to say. She wanted to say that he was selfish, that he wanted to tie Ming Yu tightly to his side, so that she wouldn't be like Ming Xi, whose heart would grow wild after spending too much time outside, unwilling to return in the future.
"What did you do wrong?" Murong Ke asked angrily. "Lei Bingfu, you're talking nonsense! How dare you!"
"I was wrong." Lei Bingfu buried her head in the ground and did not look at Murong Ke's expression.
Murong Ke hated her fake attitude and appearance the most. He knew that she didn't think like that in her heart. She definitely didn't think that she was wrong.
"Get up!" Murong Ke suppressed the anger in his chest. It had been a long time since he lost his temper like this.
Lei Bingfu looked down and slowly stood up. She knew that her words made Murong Ke feel embarrassed and angry. He was so angry because … … her words hit the nail on the head and poked at his thoughts.
"Even if you knew that Ming Yu was going to leave the palace, did you not intend to tell us?" Murong Ke asked.
"This concubine doesn't dare." Lei Bingfu said. She would be stupid to admit that she would cover up for Ming Yu.
Murong Ke sneered, not believing her words at all. He forcefully grabbed Lei Bingfu's chin. "Don't think that you are very smart. We want Ming Yu back because she is a princess and the future Emperor of Jin Country. She is different from others."
Lei Bingfu felt that her chin was about to be crushed. She endured the pain and said, "Yes, this concubine understands."
"Do what we want you to do. You should know better than anyone else what you shouldn't say." Murong Ke coldly looked at her young and beautiful face. The anger in his heart made it impossible for him to feel pity for her.
"This concubine understands. This concubine said this because I don't want Ming Yu to hate me in the future." Lei Bingfu said in a low voice. She was forced to raise her head to look at him.
Murong Ke thought about how she still had to go to the flower viewing party tomorrow. If her chin was bruised, then her image as a favored concubine wouldn't be real. He released her chin and asked with a cold smile, "Do you think that Ming Yu will hate me in the future?"
"Everyone in the world knows of Your Majesty's affection for Ming Yu as a father and daughter. Your care and love for Ming Yu is real, but Ming Yu's life is her own, not yours." Lei Bingfu said in a low voice.
This time, Murong Ke didn't get angry. He just coldly looked at Lei Bingfu.
"What else do you want to say?" Murong Ke asked.
"This concubine has nothing else to say." She had already said what she wanted to say. Whether Murong Ke would listen to her or not, that was his business.
Murong Ke's anger was stifled in his chest. He wanted to punish Lei Bingfu, but he knew that what she said wasn't wrong. He was too worried and concerned about Ming Yu. He was afraid that she would leave with Yao Yao and the others. At that time, the daughter he had raised would also leave with her.
"If Ming Yu was your daughter, what would you do?" Murong Ke asked.
Lei Bingfu was slightly startled. Did she not see Ming Yu as her daughter anymore? Based on her experiences in her previous life, she didn't see herself as a sixteen year old girl. She treated Ming Yu as an elder.
"Your Majesty, if Ming Yu was this concubine's own daughter, no matter how worried this concubine was, I would let my daughter experience life outside the palace. Only by knowing the sweetness and bitterness of the common people would she know that her vision wouldn't be limited to this palace. Only then would she know what kind of ruler she should be in the future." Lei Bingfu said in a low voice.
Murong Ke narrowed his eyes as he looked at her, "The reason you are saying this is because you have never had a child."
Lei Bingfu was startled when she heard this. She instantly felt anger in her chest. She had never had a child. Even when she became the Empress Dowager in her previous life, she had never raised her own child … …
She had never had a child in her previous life. When she was still pampered, she had already been harmed to the point that she couldn't have a child.
"Your Majesty … …" Lei Bingfu frowned.
Murong Ke didn't pay any more attention to her. He got up and left Jianjia Palace.
"So what if I've never had a child?" Lei Bingfu muttered in annoyance. If it wasn't for Ming Yu, she wouldn't have bothered to say so much to him.
Actually, she was a little regretful. She didn't know what method he would think of to punish her.
