Chapter 2162 Doubt
Lei Bingfu finally knew why Murong Ke ordered that no one should disturb Mingyu. It turned out to be because Mingyu was not in the palace.
She really envied Mingyu.
When you are at the right age, it is actually a very happy thing to have someone take you out to see all kinds of things in the world.
The saddest thing is that she grew up in a palace, but her true nature was eventually wiped out.
It was good that Mingyu could freely experience some of her wonderful things outside. She didn't want Murong Ke to find Mingyu so quickly.
However, she still had to do what Murong Ke asked her to do.
The next day, Lei Bingfu sent someone to invite Jin Shanshan into the palace.
"Mother, Madam Ye is here." Ding Xiang came in to report.
Lei Bingfu looked at herself in the mirror. Well, it was very good. Her makeup was dignified and quiet, and her clothes were neither sexy nor flashy. They didn't make people feel too strong. They were most suitable for her.
"I have met Empress Hui Bin." Jin Shanshan didn't know that Mingyu was not in Kyoto City yet. She only heard that Mingyu was sick and was in a hurry to hand over the card to the palace when she got the news that Lei Huibin summoned her to the palace.
She thought Lei Bingfu came to her because of Mingyu's illness.
Lei Bingfu turned aside to accept only half a courtesy. She personally held Jin Shanshan's hand and said with a smile, "Mrs. Ye, you're so polite. Please sit down."
Jin Shanshan was anxious to visit Mingyu, but he couldn't speak directly to Lei Bingfu, so he had to sit down and said, "Thank you, Empress Hui."
"Mrs. Ye, I invite you to the palace today because I have something to tell you." Lei Bingfu sent everyone in the palace away, and then she spoke to Jin Shanshan in a low voice.
She knew that Murong Ke did not send secret guards to guard the surroundings. He knew that Jin Shanshan was good at martial arts. If he was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Lei Bingfu's tone was a little serious. Jin Shanshan sat up straight, worried that something had happened to Mingyu.
Lei Bingfu has seen countless people. Although she has just met Jin Shanshan for the first time, she knows that she is a straightforward woman. She has inquired about Mrs. Ye before and heard that she was the daughter of the general of Beiming Kingdom. After being captured by Ye Chunnan, he found out that his father had been killed. Later, he and Ye Chunnan fell in love for a long time, and the two even fought on the battlefield together.
The daughter of a famous general has an upright character.
"It has something to do with Mingyu..." Lei Bingfu thought about how to tell Jin Shanshan the matter.
Jin Shanshan's expression tightened, "Mother, is it Mingyu's illness..."
"Don't worry, Mingyu is not sick." Lei Bingfu said hurriedly.
"Aren't you sick?" Jin Shanshan was stunned for a moment.
Lei Bingfu coughed slightly, "The thing is like this. The night before yesterday, Mingyu disappeared in the palace in the middle of the night. Mingxi took her away and left a note saying that she was going to the wasteland."
"..." Jin Shanshan's expression froze. Mingxi actually took Mingyu to the wasteland?
"It seems that Mrs. Ye didn't know the decisions of the children before." Lei Bingfu said, "Mingxi didn't even tell you."
Jin Shanshan almost stood up, "How would I know? Mingxi never mentioned it at all."
"The Emperor is also very anxious about this matter. Even if it is because of Yan Xiaoliu's injury, Mingxi and Mingyu will not sneak away like this." Lei Bingfu took a sip of tea and said.
"Of course, there is chaos over there in the wasteland, and they are still children, how can they go there?" Jin Shanshan said angrily, if she had known about this earlier, she would have stopped them.
It’s true that Mingxi secretly took Mingyu and disappeared.
Lei Bingfu said with a smile, "Actually, nothing will happen if Mingxi is by the princess's side. Master Mingxi and his two friends are both skilled in martial arts."
"From what I heard, you don't seem to be worried about Mingyu's safety outside at all?" Jin Shanshan asked with a frown. Sure enough, he was not his biological child, and he didn't care about Mingyu's safety at all.
"I just think it's good for girls to go out for a walk." Lei Bingfu knew what Jin Shanshan was thinking, but she was too lazy to explain, "But Mrs. Ye, Master Mingxi went to the Ye family before taking the princess away. I don’t know what it’s for?”
Jin Shanshan's face turned cold, "Is Empress Hui concubine suspicious of our Ye family?"
Lei Bingfu sighed, "Mrs. Ye, I just want to know why those two children were so anxious to go to the wasteland besides Yan Xiaoliu's injuries."
"How could I know this?" Jin Shanshan's tone was still filled with anger. She had heard before that Ming Yu was very close to Lei Bingfu, so she had a wait-and-see attitude towards this concubine Lei Hui. She was a member of the harem. If the concubines had children of their own, would they still treat Mingyu well? Nowadays, being nice to Mingyu is just to get the emperor's attention. I heard that Lei Bingfu is very favored, probably because of Mingyu.
"Mrs. Ye, forget it. I'm just asking." Lei Bingfu smiled slightly. She knew that people from both the Lu family and the Ye family must be wary of her or other favored concubines. This is all human nature. To be fair, she didn't take it to heart. After living for so many years, if she couldn't see through this, then her role as Queen Mother in those first few years would have been in vain.
Whether she is sincere to Mingyu does not need to be recognized by others.
"I really don't know." Jin Shanshan glanced at Lei Bingfu, suppressed his emotions, and calmly clarified the reason for entering the palace today. Lei Bingfu was just a concubine. Although she had the highest status in the palace, she did not She was in charge of the trivial matters in the palace. If it weren't for the emperor's instructions, she would not have been able to call herself into the palace.
So what does the emperor mean? Do you doubt her, or the Ye family?
Jin Shanshan felt agitated and didn't like this inexplicable temptation.
"Mrs. Ye, you don't have to think too much. I only care about Mingxi and Mingyu. Mingxi was kind to me in the past." Lei Bingfu said in a low voice.
What does this mean? Is Lei Bingfu trying to show her favor to the Ye family? Mingxi has known her for a long time?
Jin Shanshan had too many doubts in her heart. She took a deep breath and said, "The day before yesterday, I asked Mingxi to go home because the general had a letter for him. After Mingxi read the letter..." She recalled Mingxi His expression said, "I seem very worried. I don't know what the letter is about, or whether it is related to Yan Xiaoliu's injury."
Lei Bingfu raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that it was still related to Ye Chunnan's letter. However, it was all speculation now. She had completed her task.
"The emperor has sent people to find Mingyu." Lei Bingfu said, "However, I believe that Mingxi will protect Mingyu."
"Of course." There was a smile on Jin Shanshan's lips, but in his heart he was anxious to know what letter Ye Chunnan wrote to Mingxi. If he had known, he would have asked clearly that day, and he would have sent the letter to the wasteland as soon as possible when he got back.
