Chapter 2096 Assassin

Mingyu took the fruit wine and took a sip. It was sour and sweet, but Ningxiang and Hanlu both stared at her and refused to let her drink after only a small cup.

The days in the palace are boring to begin with, not to mention that it has been raining for several days in a row, and everyone is bored in the house. It is rare that the sun shines today, and it is possible to spend the day in the imperial garden admiring flowers and trees and playing a few small games.

Chen Huan'er wanted to stay with Mingyu, but a few agreed to invite her to compete in poems. She felt itchy in her heart, "Mingyu, do you want to compete in poems together?"

"No need, I'll just watch you play here." Mingxi said with a smile. What she didn't like the most was seeing those poems and words. She was exhausted from reading so many memorials every day. Do she still want to torture herself now?

"Then I'll come as soon as I go." Shen Huan'er glanced at Lei Bingfu next to her and felt that Mingyu wouldn't like Lei Bingfu's temperament, so she walked out of the pavilion with confidence.

Mingyu turned around and saw Lei Bingfu still drinking fruit wine leisurely, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Aren't you going to play?" Mingyu looked at Lei Bingfu and asked.

"Watching a few flowers and plants with them and reciting poems, right? I might as well go back to sleep." Lei Bingfu said lazily, "With such a nice weather, I should bask in the sun here, eat some delicious food, and drink Order something nice to drink.”

Mingyu raised her eyebrows, stood up and walked to Lei Bingfu, "You seem to be different from them."

If she were like those coquettish bitches, she wouldn't have been able to get the position of Queen Mother in her last life.

"What's different?" Lei Bingfu looked at Mingyu with a smile.

"Don't you want to fight for favor?" Mingyu asked.

Lei Bingfu chuckled and lowered her voice and said, "Does the emperor favor anyone? Don't they all treat everyone equally? There is nothing to argue about."

I don't know where the favor is, so what's there to fight for? When one day Murong Ke focuses on the harem and starts doting on the concubines in the harem, that's when everyone will show off their magical powers.

However, it was only after she entered the palace that she realized that Murong Ke was more difficult to deal with than she thought.

The Emperor of Jin Kingdom already had a touch of white moonlight in his heart.

Otherwise, why would you ignore so many beauties in the harem?

Lei Bingfu couldn't figure out this problem very much.

"How do you know it's useless to argue?" Mingyu asked.

"Little girl, you are still too young. You will understand when you grow up." After a pause, Lei Bingfu changed her words, "Forget it, I hope you never understand what fighting for favor is all your life. Your parents and brother will love and protect you. , I will definitely let you marry someone who treats you sincerely and won’t let you be wronged.”

Mingyu frowned and looked at Lei Bingfu, "Do you know my brother?"

From just now, she had vaguely felt that Lei Bingfu's words were a bit strange, as if she had met Mingxi before. When she heard her say this again, it was difficult for Mingyu not to doubt her.

As soon as she finished asking, two maids came in carrying fresh fruits.

Lei Bingfu didn't answer, she just poured a glass of fruit wine and held it in her hand.

Mingyu didn't continue to ask.

"Princess, this is the tribute sent by the emperor." A maid came towards Mingyu carrying a plate of fruit.

"Put it down." Mingyu pointed at the table without looking back.

Lei Bingfu raised her eyes lightly, and her eyes fell on the palace maid. When the palace maid was about to approach Mingyu, she took Mingyu's hand and pulled it hard.

At some point, a sharp red hairpin appeared in the palace maid's hand, with a strange light shining on it.

"Assassin!" Lei Bingfu shouted loudly while protecting Mingyu behind her.

Ningxiang and Hanlu were the first to react, and immediately picked up the things on the table and threw them at the palace maid.

The palace maid's eyes were vicious, and she stabbed the palace maid in front of her to death, staring straight at Mingyu.

"Catch the assassin, there is an assassin." Hanlu screamed.

The concubines outside the pavilion were all frightened when they heard the shouting. Especially when they saw the scene in the pavilion, they were all too frightened to move.

"Save the princess quickly!" Shen Huan'er was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Mingyu being protected by Lei Bingfu, she immediately ran over to help.

The assassin palace maid was so powerful in martial arts that she had already knocked Hanlu and Ningxiang unconscious. Without knowing whether they were alive or dead, she stabbed towards Lei Bingfu.

Lei Bingfu pushed Mingyu away and smashed the cup in her hand. The assassin turned his head to avoid it, but the Zhu Chai in his hand was kicked away by Lei Bingfu.

"You know martial arts!" Mingyu looked at Lei Bingfu in surprise and shouted.

"A little superficial kung fu." Lei Bingfu started fighting with the assassin. She learned martial arts to protect herself, not for any reason. She had suffered the hardship of not knowing martial arts in the palace before, so she thought she would never need it in this life. I didn't expect it to be to save a little girl.

If it weren't for the deal with Mo Mingxi, she really wouldn't want to take the risk. The Zhu hairpin just now must have been poisoned.

The assassin was obviously well-trained, and Lei Bingfu was no match for her. Fortunately, she sustained a few moves, and when she was about to be unable to resist, the palace guards appeared.

"Take it!"

"Let's go!" Lei Bingfu pulled Mingyu and ran quickly, fearing that if she ran too slowly, she would be caught by the assassin and used as a hostage.

The assassin originally planned this, but in the end he only saw Lei Bingfu holding Mingyu and running away on the flowers!

"If you want to survive, catch her." The Royal Forest Army had already surrounded the pavilion and quickly caught the assassin when she was about to escape. Unfortunately, they did not have time to stop her from drinking poison and committing suicide.

Murong Ke had already heard the news and came over, his handsome face showing anger and worry.

"Father, father!" Mingyu raised his head in Lei Bingfu's arms and shouted loudly.

"Mingyu, are you okay?" Murong Ke strode over and looked Mingyu up and down, "Are you injured anywhere?"

"No, no, the assassin was discovered before he even got close to me, but she killed a palace maid." Mingyu's face was still a little pale. If Lei Bingfu hadn't discovered that there was something wrong with the palace maid, she might have died.

Xue Lin came over and whispered to Murong Ke, "Your Majesty, the assassin committed suicide. She was a palace maid from the palace a few years ago. My subordinates have fought with her several times. She is a trained killer. She should be..."

"The former killer of Qian Rakshasa!" Murong Ke knew Xue Lin's unspeakable secret. He used to be the master of Qian Rakshasa's pavilion, but now there is the killer of Qian Rakshasa who wants to kill his daughter.

"Yes." Xue Lin lowered his head.

Murong Ke waved his hand and ordered in a cold voice, "Investigate thoroughly immediately to see how many other people in the palace are involved."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xue Lin promised.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you back first." Murong Ke held Mingyu's hand, feeling that she must be frightened.

Mingyu pointed at Lei Bingfu who was still kneeling on the ground, "Father, it was Lei Guiren who saved me."

Only then did Murong Ke notice that there was a young woman kneeling next to Mingyu. She had her head slightly lowered. Her bright yellow clothes were torn in several places, and the back of her exposed hands was also scratched. She looked very embarrassed. He just looked at to half of her fair face.

"Get up!" Murong Ke said calmly.
