After returning to the capital, Murong Ke was surprised to find that it was peaceful here. After asking someone, he found out that there were no demonic beasts in the city. There were people outside the city who saw it, but it seemed that the demonic beasts could not enter the city, so the people in the city escaped.

However, because of this, there were many more people in the city, making it seem even more crowded and lively than before.
Murong Ke asked the carriage to slow down and observed the people on the street. Although it was still bustling, everyone's face was filled with fear. They were afraid that the demonic beasts would enter the city one day.
"Why aren't there any demonic beasts in Jingdu City?" Lei Bingfu asked in confusion. There were people everywhere in the city, so it should be a place where demonic beasts would most likely appear.
"After all, this is under the feet of the Emperor." In her letter, Ye Zhen had mentioned that the Emperor would be protected by the purple gas, so the monsters generally did not dare to approach him. Because of the palace in the capital, the monsters did not dare to approach.
Lei Bingfu silently looked outside until she returned to the palace.
"I will go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity first." Murong Ke said indifferently. He still had many things to prepare.
"Yes." Lei Bingfu looked at the palace with red walls and yellow tiles. She was back! It was only after she left that she realized that the place she was most familiar with wasn't the Lei family, but the Imperial Palace.
In her previous life, she had spent most of her life in the palace. It was probably the same in this life.
Murong Ke did not say anything more to Lei Bingfu as he strode towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Lei Bingfu took a deep breath and ordered, "Return to Jijia Palace."
"Your Ladyship …" The palace maid called out to her in a low voice, "Then … what about Second Miss Lei?"
Although Lei Bingfu did not bother with Lei Jieting along the way, Lei Jieting made a fuss a few times at the start, but later on, she calmed down. Lei Bingfu did not know if she had thought it through.
"Let her go to the Xinzheku." Lei Bingfu said indifferently. She did not want to place Lei Jieting in the Jianjia Palace so that she would not have to see her every day.
"Yes, Your Ladyship," the palace maid replied.
Lei Jieting had already alighted from the carriage. She looked around in surprise. So this was the imperial palace. It was much bigger than she had imagined. The Lei Clan was just the tip of the iceberg. She had indeed been too narrow-minded.
"Miss Lei, please come this way." A palace maid came over and said.
"Where are you taking me?" Lei Jieting asked with a frown. She saw that Lei Bingfu was heading in another direction.
The palace maid smiled and said, "The Bureau of Clothing."
Lei Jieting frowned as she looked at her surroundings. Something didn't seem right. She knew that Lei Bingfu wouldn't treat her well, but she was still the second daughter of the Lei family. Even if she was a palace maid, she wouldn't really do such lowly things.
"What does the Silk Bureau do?" Lei Jieting asked. Could they often meet the Emperor there?
The palace maid said, "It's a laundry place, specially for the masters in the palace."
Lei Jieting's expression changed. "What did you say?"
"It's a laundry room." The palace maid patiently explained again with the corners of her mouth raised high. She could see that although this Second Miss Lei was Consort Hui's younger sister, if they really had a sisterly relationship, Consort Hui would not have sent her to the Wardrobe Bureau.
The Clothing Bureau was said to be a place in charge of clothes, but for a newly arrived palace maid like Lei Jieting, she was only doing the work of a little palace maid. Besides washing clothes every day, there was nothing else to do.
"I'm not going!" Lei Jieting paused. She didn't enter the palace to wash clothes for others. She wasn't going to be a palace maid for a lifetime. She didn't want to suffer like this.
"Miss Lei, you probably don't understand the rules of the Palace. Since you have already entered the Palace, the places in the Palace are not places you can go as you please." The palace maid smiled slightly, but her eyes could not hide the contempt she had for Lei Jieting.
Lei Jieting sneered. "What rules of the palace? Don't think I don't know. I'm the second daughter of the Lei family. The Lei family is a noble family in Wuling. How can a daughter of the Lei family enter the palace to wash clothes?"
The palace maid covered her mouth and laughed. "There are many people in the palace with your distinguished status. If you can't be a master, you'll naturally be a palace maid. If you're lucky, maybe you can become a female official."
"Female official?" Lei Jieting's face was livid. She wanted to be a concubine, not a female official. "I want to see Lei Bingfu!"
"Our concubine is not someone you can see even if you want to." The palace maid's expression turned cold. "Miss Lei, please."
Lei Jieting refused to move. "I'm not leaving. If I don't see Lei Bingfu, I won't go anywhere."
It was noon and the sun was high in the sky. Although it was past the height of summer, the sunlight was still enough to make one's eyes go white. The palace maid glanced at Lei Jieting. Seeing that she was determined not to go to the bureau, she could only turn around and report to Lei Bingfu.
Lei Bingfu had just eaten a bowl of iced fruits and was resting comfortably on a soft couch. When she heard the palace maid's report, she smiled and said, "It's fine. Let her stand."
She understood Lei Jieting. She absolutely wouldn't let herself be taken advantage of. She thought that this could force her to change her mind. So what if the entire world knew that she, Lei Bingfu, bullied her little sister? She didn't care at all.
"Concubine, isn't it too eye-catching for her to stand like that?" The palace maid asked in a small voice. If this was passed to the ears of the other masters, they would all say that the concubine didn't have any sisterly feelings. At that time, how would the emperor view her?
Lei Bingfu smiled and said, "It wasn't ben gong who made her stand there. Let her do as she pleases."
Want to fight with me? She's still too tender.
Less than two hours later, the news of Lei Jieting standing under the scorching sun spread to the hougong. Very quickly, there were people who found out that she was Lei Bingfu's little sister. They couldn't help but want to go to Jianjia Palace to inquire about the situation, but they were all blocked by Lei Bingfu's people.
"Concubine, Su Jieyu has come." The little palace maid came to report.
Lei Bingfu wasn't surprised that Su Jieyu would come to find her so quickly. Ai, after leaving the palace for a while, she had almost forgotten about these days where she had to be constantly on guard.
"Invite Su Jieyu in." Lei Bingfu straightened her body and had someone invite Su Jieyu in.
Su Jieyu had become even thinner than she had been a few months ago. She looked like a sickly beauty, graceful and pitiful. "Hui Fei niang niang, you've finally returned."
Seeing Su Jieyu who had lost a lot of weight, Lei Bingfu asked in shock, "How did you lose so much weight?"
"I don't know what happened. It's probably because after you and the emperor left the palace, I didn't have anyone to talk to, so I couldn't eat or drink. I unknowingly lost some weight." Su Jieyu forced a smile, "I'm really worried that jiejie would suffer outside. Seeing that your complexion is rosy, I can finally relax." Su Jieyu said with a smile.
Lei Bingfu said, "I'm fine. I can eat and drink."
Su Jieyu covered her mouth and laughed, "Jiejie still loves to joke."
How could the emperor not have a rosy complexion when he brought her out of the palace alone? It was unknown how jealous the concubines in the palace were.
