Murong Ke came out from behind the screen in an unlined robe. After soaking in the medicinal bath, his body was covered in a thin layer of sweat, but his whole body felt comfortable. He saw Lei Bingfu leaning against the soft couch and reading a book with a smile on her face. She seemed to be in a good mood.
"What's so happy about?" Murong Ke sat on the other side and raised his eyebrows at Lei Bingfu.
"Just now, my father came to find me." Lei Bingfu said with a smile. She walked over to dry Murong Ke's hair with a towel, "After so many years, this is the first time he came to beg me."
Murong Ke leaned back lazily. He knew why Master Lei came to beg Lei Bingfu. What was there to be happy about? It was for another daughter, "Are you very happy?"
"Of course I'm happy." Lei Bingfu said in a low voice, "I said, if Lei Jieting was not sent to the palace to be a palace maid, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."
"So it was to use zhen." Murong Ke's lips curled up.
Lei Bingfu's hand paused, "This concubine was telling the truth. How is it using the emperor? They said they were willing to enter the palace to serve this concubine. Isn't that the same as entering the palace as a palace maid?"
"You really don't worry about letting your sister enter the palace?" Murong Ke asked lightly.
"Why would this concubine be worried?" Lei Bingfu helped Murong Ke straighten out his hair. Since she dared to let Lei Jieting enter the palace, naturally she was sure that Lei Jieting would not be able to go far. If Murong Ke really liked her, then it could only be said that someone was blind.
Murong Ke turned to look at her, "Who do you trust?"
"This concubine believes in … the emperor's eyes." Lei Bingfu said.
"Zhen's eyes are indeed very good." Murong Ke nodded lightly. He hadn't really looked at Lei Jieting. However, based on the situation of the Lei family, this Lei family's daughter was definitely not a good person.
It was indeed not easy for Lei Bingfu to suppress her before entering the palace.
"Is the emperor praising yourself or this concubine?" Lei Bingfu asked jokingly.
"Did zhen praise you?" Murong Ke glanced at her, "When you entered the palace, you encountered pirates. Did you find out who sent them?"
Lei Jieting was just a girl living in a boudoir. What ability did she have to send people to kill Lei Bingfu? There must be someone outside helping her.
"This concubine hasn't had the time to investigate." The main reason was that she didn't have anyone outside to help her investigate. Moreover, too many things had happened recently.
"We have checked for you." Murong Ke said.
Lei Bingfu was stunned for a moment before she suddenly came in front of him. "What did you find out for this concubine?"
"If there's no benefit at all, why should I tell you?" Murong Ke stood up and loosely tied up his hair.
"Your Majesty, what other benefits do you want? You already have everything you want." Lei Bingfu smiled and placed a cup of tea that was just right in front of Murong Ke.
Murong Ke raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "Lackey."
Lei Bingfu smiled even more ingratiatingly.
"Is there anyone else from the Guo Family?" Murong Ke asked.
"Guo Family?" Lei Bingfu was slightly taken aback. "Concubine Guo has an older brother, Your Majesty. I've seen that scoundrel before. It's impossible for him to have any achievements. How could he have the ability to collude with pirates to hijack a ship?"
Murong Ke said calmly, "He doesn't have the ability, but he can make someone who has the ability do it. There are people in the Xie Family who don't want you to enter the palace."
"This concubine understands." Lei Bingfu smiled. Madam Lei's maiden family was the Xie Family. When the news of her becoming a beauty spread to the capital, the Xie Family immediately sent people over. They said that the Xie Family already had a girl who wanted to enter the palace and asked Lei Bingfu to find an excuse to avoid entering the palace.
Lei Bingfu didn't listen to the Xie Family's arrangements and insisted on going to the capital.
Lei Jieting had colluded with someone in the Xie Family.
"Do you need my help?" Murong Ke asked.
If she wanted to take revenge, without his help, it would take a lot of effort to deal with the Xie Family.
"No need." Lei Bingfu said with a smile. "Your Majesty has made this concubine the Consort Hui. That's enough."
The Xie Family definitely didn't dare to kill her now. Instead, they were thinking about how to curry favor with her. Moreover, she was going to bring Lei Jieting into the palace. This debt could be settled slowly.
Murong Ke looked down at her. When they were in the palace, he couldn't see what kind of person this woman was. He said that she was scheming, but she didn't take the initiative to get close to him. Instead, she was more willing to get close to Ming Yu. He said that she rejected him but still welcomed him. No matter what title he gave her, she was indifferent and didn't seem particularly happy. She didn't even feel complacent about becoming the Consort Hui. Instead, she hid from everyone.
He thought that she must have a bigger goal. However, after so long, from the capital to here, her temperament was very open and natural. She didn't try to please him, but she inexplicably understood him.
As long as he looked at her, she seemed to know what he wanted to do.
For the first time, Murong Ke felt that having someone by his side was quite comfortable.
"As you wish." Murong Ke said in a low voice, but there was a faint smile in the corner of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this concubine wants to ask for a disclaimer." Lei Bingfu asked carefully.
Murong Ke raised his eyebrows, "What disclaimer do you want?"
"Nothing much. This concubine is afraid that I will be arrogant in the future and make you unhappy." Lei Bingfu said.
"You, still want to be arrogant?" Murong Ke was amused. He was almost sure that even if Lei Bingfu became an Imperial Consort, she wouldn't be arrogant. This had nothing to do with her status. It was just her personality.
Lei Bingfu said seriously, "When dealing with some people, you really need to be arrogant to suppress them. When this concubine is arrogant, she will really be arrogant."
Murong Ke laughed, "I will give you a chance to be arrogant."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lei Bingfu thanked him happily.
"Yes." Murong Ke responded indifferently.
At this time, a servant's voice came from outside. Lord Xue asked for an audience.
Lei Bingfu looked at Murong Ke and got him clothes to change. "Your Majesty, in the capital … are there demonic beasts causing trouble?"
"There are demonic beasts everywhere in the world, but they suddenly disappeared." Murong Ke said, "There is news from the King of Qin that it can only be temporarily suppressed."
"What the hell is going on? I have never seen these monsters before. "Lei Bingfu said.
Murong Ke said in a low voice, "Nothing is too strange in this world."
It was already amazing that Ye Zhen could be reborn in Lu Yaoyao's body after death, not to mention that Mo Rongzhan and her disappeared in the cave for four years. Four years later, they reappeared as good as new. He was not surprised that anything strange could happen in this world.
It was useless to think about these things now. The most important thing now was to think about how to deal with the demonic beasts when they appeared again.
Xue Lin brought news from the Wilderness.
Although there were demonic beasts in the Jin army camp, it didn't affect them much. They had already been killed by Ye Chunnan. The Yuan army had suffered too many casualties, and Shui Yichen had already led the troops back to Yuan.
The only bad news was that Song Hongao of the Qi Kingdom had ordered to attack the Northern Dark Kingdom, which was now the Ning Kingdom.
"Let Jin Lou lead the troops to reinforce Mingyu." Murong Ke said coldly.
