Lei Bingfu packed up the soup bowl and was about to retreat. Before she left, Murong Ke said lightly, "You don't have to leave. Just stay here."
"?" Lei Bingfu looked at him in surprise. What? Is he serious? If she stayed, wouldn't Shen Huan 'er hate her even more? Shen Huan' er already thought that she encouraged Murong Ke to send them away.
Murong Ke no longer looked at Lei Bingfu and had already asked Fu De to summon Shen Huan 'er.
"Your Majesty …" Lei Bingfu whispered, "It doesn't seem appropriate for your concubine to stay here."
Shen Huan 'er certainly didn't want her to stay here. How could she talk to Murong Ke nicely?
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay." Murong Ke said lightly.
Lei Bingfu looked at his indifferent handsome face and had to sit down in the armchair next to him. Anyway, as long as he was happy.
Shen Huan 'er soon came in with a gentle smile on her face. When she saw Lei Bingfu sitting next to her, her smile froze. "Your Majesty."
"Get up." Murong Ke's voice was indifferent. His impression of Shen Huan 'er was still the same as when he saw her many years ago in the White Dragon River. At that time, she was ill. Shen Yuexuan took her to see many famous doctors, but they were all useless. If she hadn't met Ye Zhen later, Shen Huan' er might not be here today.
Because her life was saved by Ye Zhen, Murong Ke was more tolerant of her.
Moreover, he was her elder after all.
Shen Huan 'er looked at Murong Ke in a daze. She hadn't seen him for a long time. She thought he would never want to see her in his life.
"This concubine heard that Your Majesty was injured and has been worried about it. Every day, I thought that it would be enough to see Your Majesty. Today, the heavens have finally taken pity on me and I have finally seen Your Majesty. Seeing that Your Majesty looks fine, this concubine is relieved." Shen Huan 'er's voice was charming, and her tone was full of deep yearning and affection. If it were any other man, he would be touched.
However, Murong Ke couldn't hear her affection at all. He had always regarded her as a junior. How could he think of love?
"My injury is not serious." Murong Ke said lightly, "Why don't you leave the palace and go home? You're still young, you can still find a good family after you leave the palace … "
Before Murong Ke could finish his words, Shen Huan 'er burst into tears. "Your Majesty, I was born to be your woman, and I'll be your ghost even in death. I've already entered the palace, so how can I marry someone else? If Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, I'm willing to spend the rest of my life alone in the palace."
"You don't have to do this." Murong Ke frowned at her. He hadn't even touched Shen Huan 'er. "It's for your own good that you're allowed to leave the palace."
If they were only allowed to leave the palace, what about Lei Bingfu? Shen Huan 'er thought to herself. "Even if I leave the palace, I have nowhere to go. There are demonic beasts everywhere outside. I … I can't contact my father, and I don't know if he's alive or dead. Your Majesty, please don't chase me out of the palace."
Lei Bingfu yawned quietly. She had heard these words more than ten times. In the past few days, except for Shen Huan 'er, all the other concubines had come to see Murong Ke. Murong Ke refused to see them, so they cried and complained outside. Lei Bingfu had heard everything.
She was considerate and didn't let Murong Ke know about it. She let him recuperate in Yangxin Palace Hall.
"Your father is still alive. He's in Canghai City. You can go and find him," Murong Ke said.
Shen Huan 'er cried and said, "Your Majesty, I only want to stay in the palace. I only want to serve you for the rest of my life."
"I don't need you to serve me," Murong Ke said indifferently. "Even if you stay, when the Heavenly Consort returns in the future, she will only send you to the temporary imperial residence. You'll live in the temporary imperial residence for the rest of your lives."
"But …" Shen Huan 'er remembered that Ming Yu was the current master of the palace. She was at a loss.
Murong Ke said, "You decide what to do."
Shen Huan 'er looked at Murong Ke with tears in her eyes. "Your Majesty, I … just want to stay by your side. I've liked you for a long time."
"I've always treated you as a junior," Murong Ke said indifferently.
Junior? Shen Huan 'er's face suddenly turned pale. He treated me as a junior? So no matter what I do, he won't treat me like a concubine?
"Go, I'm tired." Murong Ke said lightly and asked Fu De to send Shen Huan 'er away. Then, he issued an edict, "Send all the concubines in the palace who don't want to leave to the temporary imperial residence. Tell them again what I just said. If they go to the temporary imperial residence, they will never be able to leave, let alone think about freedom. They will only die alone."
Ford nodded and pulled Shen Huan 'er, who was still in a daze, out.
"It turns out that you've seen Lady Shen before." Lei Bingfu said with a smile. She thought it was fake, but it turned out to be true.
"She's the daughter of my former friend." Murong Ke said lightly, "How's the weather outside?"
"The weather is not cold since the beginning of winter. The sun hasn't set yet. Do you want to go for a walk?" Lei Bingfu asked, stepping forward to help him.
Murong Ke was seriously injured. Although he had Ye Zhen's elixir, he still needed to rest. It was good enough for him to go out for a walk occasionally.
"I'm going to see Song Jiong." Murong Ke said. Song Jiong had not woken up yet.
"I'll go with you." Lei Bingfu said. She was also worried about Song Jiong and hoped that he could wake up safely.
Murong Ke nodded lightly and walked in the direction of the Imperial Hospital with Lei Bingfu.
"Don't you think it's a pity to send so many concubines out of the palace?" Lei Bingfu held Murong Ke's arm and teased him with a smile.
"What do you think the use of them staying?" He had already abdicated, so he no longer had to listen to the ministers talking about his children every day, let alone having a concubine. In the future, he could do things according to his mood. He could be with whoever he liked, and there was no need to force himself. He didn't like those women in the first place, so why should he drag them down for life?
Lei Bingfu thought about it and smiled. "It's not bad to be pleasing to the eyes."
"It seems that you have a good time with them every day." Murong Ke said with a faint smile. "Why don't you let them stay with you?"
"No, I like peace and quiet." Lei Bingfu actually wanted to ask why he didn't intend to send her back. Was it because he still needed her to take care of him? Or did he intend to keep her here?
Oh, does he really want to take her with him to the sea in the future? If so, does he know what it means?
"I also like peace and quiet." Murong Ke said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman dressed as a palace maid hurried towards them. The palace maid kept her head down and didn't notice that there was someone in front of her. If it weren't for Fu De's shout, she would have bumped into them.
"Ah, Your Majesty, forgive me, this slave deserves to die …" The palace maid raised her beautiful face and knelt down pitifully to beg for mercy.
Lei Bingfu's mouth curved up. What a coincidence! Unexpectedly, she met Lei Jieting here.
