Murong Ke felt that the maid in front of him looked familiar but he could not remember who she was. Seeing Lei Bingfu's strange expression, he finally remembered who she was.
This was the second young lady of the Lei Family who insisted on going to the Imperial Palace in the Wu Ling County. Her name was Ting?
"Get up." Murong Ke said lightly. He did not want to pay more attention to Lei Jieting.
When Murong Ke was about to leave, Lei Jieting looked at Lei Bingfu with tears in her eyes and said, "Sis, I finally see you."
"You are looking for me?" Lei Bingfu raised her eyebrows with a faint smile. She had never heard that Lei Jieting was looking for her. On the contrary, she had cursed Lei Jieting behind her back for so many times.
"Sis, I have been in the Imperial Palace for so long and I have been thinking about my family. In the Imperial Palace, you are my only family. So many things have happened recently. I am really scared …" Lei Jieting said pitifully.
In Lei Bingfu's memory, this was not the first time she had seen Lei Jieting reveal such a weak look. In the past, in front of her father, she often used this kind of posture to win his pity. This was a trick that she and her aunt often used. This time, it was not to win her sympathy, but to show Murong Ke.
Sometimes, Lei Bingfu really admired Lei Jieting. If it were another Emperor who was easily tempted by women, Lei Jieting would easily be promoted.
"Then what do you want?" Lei Bingfu asked with a smile, "If you want to go back to the Wu Ling County, I can allow you to leave the Imperial Palace."
"I just want to stay with you." Lei Jieting said in a low voice.
Even though she did not leave the Imperial Palace, she had heard about what was going on outside. Even if she left the Imperial Palace and went back to the Lei Family, she did not know what was going on in the Lei Family. When that Mo Mingyu came back, the Imperial Palace would completely change. If she could not seize this opportunity, she would have to stay in the Imperial Palace as a maid for the rest of her life and die of old age.
She was only 16 years old. How could she be willing to wither away like this?
"You want to stay with me?" Lei Bingfu found it funny. She curled up the corner of her mouth. She did not feel guilty at all.
"Yes." Lei Jieting looked at Murong Ke timidly. She wanted Murong Ke to at least have some impression of her.
Lei Bingfu lowered her eyes to look at Lei Jieting. "This consort has seen you putting on an act since I was young. Why should I keep you by my side?"
"Jiejie … …" Lei Jieting's eyes flashed with a hint of joy. She wanted the emperor to clearly see how narrow-minded Lei Bingfu was. Even if there was a gap between the two sisters in the past, she had been a palace maid for so long and suffered so much. As long as there was a bit of magnanimity, they should forgive her.
"You can either leave the Imperial Palace and go back to the Wu Ling County, or you can continue to be a maid in the Si Bureau. Don't think too much about other things." Lei Bingfu said emotionlessly.
Lei Jieting looked at Murong Ke with tears in her eyes. "Your Majesty, please help this servant."
Let Murong Ke decide for her? Lei Bingfu almost wanted to laugh out loud. In fact, Lei Jieting said so much just to say this to Murong Ke.
"I don't care about the matters of the harem." Murong Ke lightly said, how could he not see through Lei Jieting's thoughts.
Lei Jieting took a step forward, trying to protect Murong Ke's calf, but was blocked by Ford. "How dare you!"
"Your Majesty, please help this servant." Lei Jieting not only wanted to get Murong Ke's attention, but she also wanted to ask for hope. She really didn't want to continue to stay in the Si Bureau. She didn't want to be a hopeless maid for the rest of her life.
"How do you want me to help you?" Murong Ke asked indifferently.
Lei Jieting thought that Murong Ke had finally softened. She looked at him with joy. "Since you don't need this servant to serve you, then … this servant is willing to be your slave to serve Your Majesty."
"I don't need slaves by my side, and I don't need slaves." Murong Ke lightly said, "Since you don't want to stay in the Imperial Palace, then I will allow you to leave. Ford!"
"This servant knows what to do, Your Majesty." Ford said.
Murong Ke didn't pay any more attention to Lei Jieting and walked forward.
Lei Bingfu smiled and followed behind him.
Lei Jieting's hoarse cry came from behind, but they still walked slowly to the Imperial Hospital as if they didn't hear it.
"You don't seem to be worried that we will let her stay?" Murong Ke glanced at Lei Bingfu. He thought about how she never seemed to care about how those concubines tried to get close to him. Was she certain that he wouldn't favor those women?
"Why would this concubine worry? You won't let her stay. " Lei Bingfu said with a smile. If it wasn't for the fact that she was her little sister, Murong Ke probably wouldn't even say a word.
Murong Ke stopped and narrowed his eyes at her, "You're quite broad-minded."
Hearing his tone seemed a little unhappy, Lei Bingfu was a little surprised. Why did he get angry? Did she say something wrong?
"Your Majesty, you wouldn't be … thinking that this concubine should be jealous, right?" Lei Bingfu was a smart woman, so she could guess the reason.
Awkwardness flashed across Murong Ke's face. With a cold snort, he walked forward.
"Your Majesty, wait." Lei Bingfu couldn't help but smile, "It's not that this concubine isn't jealous, it's that Your Majesty's taste isn't that bad. If you really liked Lei Jieting, then why did you send all the other concubines out of the palace?"
"Aren't you going to ask why we won't let you go?" Murong Ke asked calmly. It was obvious that he wasn't in a good mood.
Lei Bingfu smiled and said, "I'm so smart, virtuous and dignified, of course Your Majesty can't bear to let me go."
"You really know how to praise yourself." Her dignified and virtuous demeanor was all an act. Did she really think that he couldn't see through it? Although Murong Ke's mouth was cold, he couldn't help but smile. He actually didn't know why he wanted Lei Bingfu to stay.
It was probably because in all these years, she was the only woman that made him feel relaxed and interesting to get along with.
Lei Bingfu smiled and said, "This concubine is speaking the truth."
Murong Ke smiled faintly and didn't say anything else, but his mood inexplicably improved.
So many things had happened, and he and Lei Bingfu had gone through a few life and death situations. Every time, she would unwaveringly stand by his side. She always seemed to have a respectful attitude towards him, but sometimes, she wasn't afraid of his identity and status. She didn't say anything that she shouldn't say. She had her own unique temperament. She would have a different attitude in front of people. If one wasn't familiar with her, they wouldn't know what her true temperament was like.
It was actually not bad to have a person that he could get along with comfortably by his side.
In the depths of his heart, that stunning woman had already become a white moonlight that would never disappear. He loved her and missed her, but he clearly knew that she didn't belong to him.
As long as she was well, that was enough.
He was also quite well right now.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Song daren has woken up!" Before they reached the Imperial Hospital, they heard a palace servant call out happily.
Murong Ke's face lit up and he turned to look at Lei Bingfu.
Lei Bingfu smiled and said, "Princess Qin said that as long as Song daren can wake up, then his life will be saved."
"En." Murong Ke nodded and strode towards the Imperial Hospital.
The Golden Crow fell from the west, and the Imperial Palace was illuminated by its radiance. Although there were unknown troubles happening outside, the sun would still shine brightly the next morning.
