Chapter 2189 Denial
Time! It was already late at night.
Murong Ke's eyes were cold, and all the people in the palace retreated, "No one is allowed to come near without my permission."
Ding Xiang's heart skipped a beat as she heard the emperor's tone of voice was filled with anger and coldness. Could it be that the empress had offended the emperor yesterday and the emperor was coming to punish the empress in person today?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Ding Xiang walked out slowly, looking back at the direction of the dormitory from time to time.
Ford pulled her sleeves, pushed her out, and closed the door in the hall.
Lei Bingfu waited in the dormitory for a long time but did not see Ding Xiang come back. When she was about to go out to look for her, she looked up and saw a gloomy and cold handsome face, which scared her to the point where her blood froze.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." Lei Bingfu was startled and took a few steps back. Oh my god, why is he here? Did she find out so soon that she had kicked him?
Murong Ke's eyes stared coldly at Lei Bingfu's lips. He opened his hand, and in his hand was a pear-shaped glass. Although the rouge lip prints on it were very light, they looked extremely dazzling because they were printed on the glass.
He actually found the cup! She should have secretly taken away the body and destroyed the traces yesterday.
Lei Bingfu looked at Murong Ke with confusion, pretending not to know what he meant.
"Last night, you were in Yongshou Palace." Murong Ke's voice was as cold as ice mixed with ice.
"Your Majesty, you asked me to follow you." Lei Bingfu thought of a dozen reasons for denial in her mind. In the end, she thought it was better to forget it. She would definitely be caught and found out. She still smiled dignifiedly and calmly.
Murong Ke's eyes became colder, "What did you hear and what did you see?"
"I didn't hear or see anything." Lei Bingfu blurted out.
The answer was too quick, which made Murong Ke narrow his eyes slightly and look even colder, "I ask you again, what did you hear and see?"
Lei Bingfu bit the tip of her tongue gently, and the pain made her calm down quickly. It seemed that Murong Ke himself had forgotten what he said and did yesterday, and she could pretend that she had not heard what she heard last night.
He didn't remember it himself anyway.
"Your Majesty, I was greedy and drank wine at that time. I can't remember clearly what you said at that time. It seems that you mentioned that you were going to Dongqing Kingdom and that you wanted the Gu insects to disappear from this world... The rest, I am concubine. I'm confused, I really can't remember clearly." Lei Bingfu lowered her head and knelt on the ground, her face slightly pale.
Dongqingguo! Gu insect!
This is all related to Yaoyao. Did he mention Yaoyao in front of Lei Bingfu?
Murong Ke said coldly, "Raise your head!"
Lei Bingfu waited for a while, then slowly raised her head and looked at him with trembling eyes.
"Why did you lift the glass after you drank?" Murong Ke asked coldly.
"Your Majesty... Yesterday, when I was drunk, I suddenly rushed towards my concubine. I was startled, and the cup in my hand fell. I don't know where it rolled. When I saw you sleeping, I left first." Lei Bing Fu whispered.
Murong Ke's brows twitched a few times, "You saw me hit my forehead and ran away?"
If you don't run away, why don't you wait for him to wake up and kill her?
"I don't know that you hit your forehead." Lei Bingfu opened her eyes and told lies.
"Haha." Murong Ke sneered and placed the cup in his hand heavily on the table, "Lei Huibi, you are very kind."
Of course she is very good, he just doesn't know.
Lei Bingfu even more timidly buried her head in her knees, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong."
"What's wrong with you?" Murong Ke asked. He wasn't sure if he said anything he shouldn't have said yesterday. However, he knew the woman in front of him well. She was a wise person and she shouldn't have said anything. I would never dare to tell anyone.
Although she risked her own life to save Mingyu, it was obvious that she was greedy for life and afraid of death, and she would not seek death.
"I don't dare to drink and run away." Lei Bingfu said. She would have taken the quilt away if she had known about it. She was so nervous at the time.
Fortunately, she managed to get along with the Queen Mother.
Murong Ke snorted coldly, "You are not allowed to step into Yongshou Palace in the future."
"Yes." Lei Bingfu sneered in her heart. She didn't want to go to Yongshou Palace at all. Who wanted to know that he still had a crush on his younger siblings? It was such a bad virtue. Fortunately, she sympathized with him yesterday.
The sight of tears on his cheeks appeared in Lei Bingfu's mind, and her heart skipped a beat.
Hey, falling in love with someone you shouldn't love is indeed very pitiful.
For such a proud man to have to hide in a corner, drink and cry secretly because of love, he must be feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Forget it, she was too lazy to argue with him.
Murong Ke took a deep look at Lei Bingfu and made sure that she did not dare to say anything, then turned and left Yongshou Palace.
Escaped!
Lei Bingfu breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Ding Xiang ran in in panic, "Mother, mother, are you okay?"
"What's going to happen to me?" Lei Bingfu clapped her hands and stood up, "Why are you so scared, what the hell?"
"When the slave saw the emperor coming in with an ugly expression, he thought..." Ding Xiang covered her chest, still feeling scared.
Lei Bingfu laughed and said, "It turns out that the emperor is scarier than a ghost."
Ding Xiang was so frightened that she wanted to cry, "Mother, please stop talking nonsense."
"No more talking." Lei Bingfu said with a smile. In fact, she still wanted to know the origins of those assassins yesterday, but when it came to Princess Qin, she still knew less.
"Empress, where did you go last night?" Ding Xiang asked curiously.
Lei Bingfu said calmly, "It won't do any good if you know, so don't ask."
Although Ding Xiang was curious, she didn't dare to ask any more questions after hearing what Lei Bingfu said.
"Let's announce to the outside world that I am unwell from today." Lei Bingfu said suddenly. Murong Ke's appearance at her place early this morning will definitely spread throughout the world. Then a bunch of people will come to her place to test her. I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to deal with them.
"Empress, Su Jieyu came early in the morning. I heard that you haven't gotten up yet and have been waiting outside." Ding Xiang said in a low voice, fearing that she would meet the emperor at this moment.
Lei Bingfu was slightly startled, "Su Jieyu is here? Just outside?"
Ding Xiang nodded, "Does she know that the emperor is coming to see you?"
"She probably doesn't know, but forget it, tell her that I'm not feeling well, and I don't want to inflict any illness on her." Lei Bingfu waved her hand tiredly and lay down lazily on the soft couch.
"Your Majesty, you are really not worried at all." Seeing Lei Bingfu's laziness, Ding Xiang was quite helpless. It was very difficult for other concubines in the palace to see the emperor. Only their empress could often see him, but the empress did not. Not caring at all.
Look at Su Jieyu, she must be doing her best to please the emperor right now.
Lei Bingfu knew what Ding Xiang meant. She chuckled lightly, but said nothing.
Of course she knew she had to treat the only real man in the palace with her heart, but Murong Ke was not someone she could please with her heart.
There is one person in his heart, and he is only attracted by that person. He is completely stone-hearted towards other women.
Now that she already knew the result, why did she have to run into it? In the end, she would just be covered in scars.
Let's just live life as it is, as long as she maintains her relationship with Mingyu.
