Chapter 2140 Rumors

Mingxi came to the study to look for Lu Shiming. He hadn't seen him for just one night. Lu Shiming looked tired and seemed to have aged a lot, but he was in a good mood.

"I was planning to send someone to find you, but you're already here." Lu Shiming looked at Mingxi with a smile and said.

"Grandpa, are you okay?" Mingxi asked.

Lu Shiming smiled and said, "It's okay. I went to the palace to see the emperor yesterday and told him everything."

He went to the palace to plead guilty last night and told the emperor everything he had helped Lu Shizhou. If the emperor wanted to punish him, he had nothing to say. However, Murong Ke got him up after hearing this, saying that he already knew what he had done to help Lu Shizhou and knew that he was deceived without knowing it.

However, in order to show justice, Murong Ke still punished Lu Shiming and made him shut up for a month.

"...Want behind closed doors to think about your faults?" Mingxi raised his eyebrows. Uncle Six's punishment was quite appropriate.

Lu Shiming smiled bitterly, "This is already magnanimous on the part of the Emperor."

"A month passed quickly." Mingxi said with a smile.

"One more thing..." Lu Shiming frowned, "Yesterday when I was in the palace, an urgent message came from the wasteland. Beiming Kingdom has declared war on us."

Ming Xi's handsome and handsome face flashed with surprise, "Qian Danqing declared war?"

"They said we captured their prince and asked us to hand over Beitang Xuanyang." Lu Shiming said.

"Did uncle arrest Beitang Xuanyang?" Mingxi asked.

Lu Shiming took a deep breath, "No, Beitang Xuanyang is not in our hands."

That is to say, Beitang Xuanyang disappeared, and Qian Danqing thought that Ye Chunnan had captured him, so he wanted to go to war with Jin State and hand over Beitang Xuanyang before them.

"Qian Danqing even risked the life of their emperor for the sake of the prince of Beiming Kingdom." Mingxi smiled half-heartedly, "It seems Qian Danqing really wants to change the emperor."

"Didn't you encounter assassins on the road before? Who wanted to kill Beitang Yu?" Lu Shiming asked.

Mingxi said, "It's Qian Danqing."

Lu Shiming snorted coldly, "That's it. Maybe this time it was Qian Danqing's deliberate excuse."

Considering Qian Danqing's desire to kill Beitang Yu, it is really possible that the war between the two countries was his plan, but something seemed wrong.

"With uncle here, Qian Danqing will not succeed easily." Mingxi said.

Lu Shiming felt slightly at ease thinking of Ye Chunnan's battlefield experience.

"The emperor asked about your parents last night." Lu Shiming pondered for a moment, "Did your mother give you a letter?"

"Not yet, my mother said before that she wanted to go back to Kyoto City." Mingxi said.

Lu Shiming looked at Mingxi not knowing what to say.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Mingxi asked doubtfully.

"There are a lot of rumors nowadays..." Lu Shiming whispered, "I wonder if you have heard about it."

Mingxi had only been back for less than two days, and he really hadn't heard any rumors. "No, I haven't heard anything yet."

Lu Shiming coughed slightly, "That's right. Now the harem is full. Although the emperor has not yet established a queen, there are already many concubines in the harem. The rumors... are all related to this. If you hear it, don't take it to heart. Your parents should also understand and won’t misunderstand..."

Is it related to the palace?

"Grandpa, is this rumor related to Mingyu?" Mingxi asked.

"It's just that some people feel that after the emperor has his own child, he will no longer be as doting on Mingyu as he is now..." Lu Shiming said.

Mingxi laughed when he heard this, "So that's what happened. Let others say what they say."

Lu Shiming didn't expect Mingxi to answer like this, "It's best if you can figure it out. Don't care what others say. Rumors are rumors, and some rumors are meant to sow discord."

"Grandpa, I understand." Mingxi said with a smile.

…

…

Lei Bingfu was in a very bad mood. After Mingyu followed Mingxi out of the palace yesterday, Murong Ke took the wrong medicine and came to the Imperial Garden. He made it clear that he came to her, and she thought he would just ask a few questions. How could he know that he would go to her palace to have a meal if he would leave?

She felt like she wouldn't be able to eat for at least a few days.

"Your Majesty, the weather is nice today. Would you like to take a walk in the Royal Garden?" Ding Xiang walked in and asked.

Lei Bingfu glanced outside lazily. She really wanted to go, but she just didn't want to meet Murong Ke there again. Although she didn't know him very well, she understood what kind of person he was.

Just like when he was in Jianjia Palace yesterday, in the eyes of others, his dining in Jianjia Palace was a favor for her and a great honor for her. However, only she knew best in her heart that Murong Ke did not come here just to favor her. I just want to disgust her.

He must be suspicious of her, so he came to monitor her.

"I won't go. I feel lazy today, so I just sit in the courtyard for a while." Lei Bingfu said.

Even if you don't meet Murong Ke when you go to the Royal Garden, you will definitely meet other people.

Liu Jieyu and the others all thought that she had fallen in favor with Murong Ke again. If she hadn't made excuses to push him away, they would have come to Jianjia Palace to find out.

"Your Majesty, it took a lot of effort for the Emperor to dine here. Shouldn't you... think of ways to win the Emperor's heart?" Ding Xiang rubbed Lei Bingfu's shoulders. Sometimes she really felt that their master was too lazy.

Lei Bingfu chuckled softly, "If the emperor's heart is really with me, do you need me to hold it back?"

"Then you won't do anything?" Ding Xiang asked doubtfully, confused as to why Lei Bingfu didn't seem to care much about whether the emperor came to Jianjia Palace.

"I've done a lot." Lei Bingfu said lazily.

Ding Xiang was speechless. She really didn't know what this empress had done.

At this time, a young palace maid came in to report something, and Eunuch Fu asked to see her.

Lei Bingfu frowned, why did Ford come?

"Please come in, Eunuch Fu." Lei Bingfu said calmly.

Fu Fu walked in with a smile and said, "I have met Empress Hui."

"You're welcome, Eunuch Fu." Lei Bingfu no longer looked lazy as before, sitting dignifiedly and quietly on the Grand Master's chair, looking at Fu Fu with a smile.

"Empress Hui, the Emperor has ordered you to have a meal at the Yangxin Hall." Fu Fu said with a smile.

Lei Bingfu's expression changed, "What?"

Ding Xiang next to her looked overjoyed, "Your Majesty..."

"Eunuch Fu, the emperor has many things to do, and I didn't seem to be suitable for this palace in the past." Lei Bingfu's expression was stiff, and she didn't want to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace at all.

"Your Majesty, you are too worried. Your Majesty invited you to go. Who dares to say that it is not suitable for you." Fu Fu said with a smile.

Lei Bingfu clenched her fists, "Then please wait a moment, Eunuch Fu, while I tidy up a little."

"Yes, empress." Fud bowed his head and went outside to wait.

"Ding Xiang, comb my hair for me." Lei Bingfu said through gritted teeth.

What did Murong Ke want to do again!
