Chapter 2318 Complex
The panic caused by the monster in Wuling has calmed down a lot over the past few days. People began to come and go on the street. Although everyone was frightened, they were willing to believe that the imperial court could protect them.
The Lei family's mansion is now silent. Except for Wuling's garrison and prefect, there are many more officers and soldiers inside and outside the mansion.
"Mr. Song, the weather is hot, why are you still outside? This is the sour plum soup I asked my servants to make, just for you to relieve the heat." A young girl walked over, and she saluted the others one by one, her eyes filled with joy. Looking at Song Jiong standing outside the yard with a smile.
"Miss Lei." Song Jiong recognized that she was the second girl of the Lei family and the younger sister of Concubine Lei Hui. He bowed politely.
This young girl is Lei Bingfu's concubine. Although she is not as beautiful as Lei Bingfu, she has fair skin and is quite delicate. She always smiles when she sees people, and she has a pretty and cute appearance.
"Master Song, please drink some sour plum soup." Lei Jieting said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, please drink a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve the heat."
"Thank you Miss Lei." Everyone who was really tired from standing thanked her one after another. After a bowl of cold sour plum soup, they felt refreshed and their impression of Lei Jieting was also a bit better.
As expected of Concubine Lei Hui's sister, she was really thoughtful and knew that they just needed a bowl of sour plum soup.
Song Jiong held the sour plum soup in his hand and did not drink it immediately. He glanced at Lei Jieting. The emperor fainted from exhaustion after killing the monster. Under the control of Concubine Lei Hui, they placed the emperor in the Lei family to recuperate. The population of the Lei family It's more complicated, but under the order of Concubine Lei Hui, other members of the Lei family did not dare to come and disturb easily. Only the second girl Lei appeared from time to time.
"No need to trouble Miss Lei, we have tea here." Song Jiong said quietly.
Lei Jieting smiled and said, "No trouble, Mr. Song is too polite. Is your injury feeling better?"
Song Jiong nodded distantly, "It's okay."
He was injured while dealing with the monster, and his left hand was fractured. Other minor injuries were insignificant, as long as the monster was killed.
"Your Majesty... you haven't woken up yet?" Lei Jieting looked at the closed door worriedly, "It's been so long since my sister came back, and I haven't seen her yet."
Song Jiong glanced at Lei Jieting and disapproved of the intimacy she said about Concubine Lei Hui. The emperor had asked him to check the details of the Lei family before, and he remembered that the relationship between Concubine Lei Hui and the second girl Lei was extremely bad.
"Master Song, can I send a bowl of sour plum soup to my sister?" Lei Jieting asked in a low voice.
"Miss Lei Er, the emperor is still resting. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go in." Song Jiong refused without hesitation. How could he let Lei Jieting go in to find Concubine Lei Hui? There was also the emperor's inside.
Lei Jieting was not displeased by Song Jiong's words and said with a smile, "Your Majesty will do well to eliminate harm for the people."
"Yes." Song Jiong nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, the closed door opened, and Lei Bingfu stood by the door, looking at Lei Jieting with cold and indifferent eyes.
"Concubine Hui!" Song Jiong saw Lei Bingfu and stepped forward to salute.
"Sister." A pure smile appeared on Lei Jieting's face.
Lei Bingfu's cold eyes flashed across Lei Jieting's face, then landed on Song Jiong, "Sir Song, the emperor allows you to come in."
Song Jiong was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is awake?"
When others heard this, they hurriedly came forward, "The emperor is awake?"
"The emperor has something to say to Mr. Song. Let the other adults leave here first. When the emperor recovers his health, he will summon all the adults." Lei Bingfu said quietly. Her voice was not loud, but she had a dignified and majestic tone. Revealed.
"Yes, I will retire first." Except for Song Jiong, everyone else bowed and resigned.
Lei Jieting stood there, looking at Lei Bingfu.
This was the first time Lei Bingfu saw her sister after she came back.
What a big change.
Unexpectedly, Lei Bingfu could become the favored concubine in the palace. What was so great about her that she could make the emperor treat her so well.
I thought that this sister would not have a good life after entering the palace.
"You." Lei Bingfu lowered her eyes and looked at Lei Jieting calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Sister, I gave you sour plum soup for all of you. The weather is hot and it's just right to relieve the heat. Do you want it?" Lei Jieting asked with a smile.
The corner of Lei Bingfu's mouth raised slightly, "Second sister is really considerate and gentle. Normally, the weather would make you reluctant to step out of the door. Today, I am willing to give you sour plum soup. It is a great honor."
"In the past, I had my sister in everything, so naturally I would be lazy whenever I could." Lei Jieting said, as if she didn't understand Lei Bingfu's cynicism.
"Second girl, please leave here. Don't let anyone else in from now on." Lei Bingfu ordered the guards guarding outside.
Idle people waiting? The smile on Lei Jieting's face froze slightly. She suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and still maintained an elegant posture, "Sister, I'll leave first."
Song Jiong glanced at Lei Bingfu, lowered his head and went in to see Murong Ke.
Lei Bingfu looked at Lei Jieting's back, a shadow cast over her eyes.
Others don't understand Lei Jieting, but she really understands how deep this girl's scheming is, so deep that she, a veteran in palace fighting, has not really killed her for so many years.
However, now that Murong Ke woke up, she was finally free to find out who wanted to kill her in the first place.
"Go and fetch me some water to the west wing." Lei Bingfu ordered the maid. In order to take care of Murong Ke, she had been taking good care of herself in the past few days and only had a few hours of sleep a day.
Lei Bingfu did not go in to find Murong Ke again, she knew that he must have something to tell Song Jiong.
When she returned to the west wing, the maid had prepared hot water. The warm water surrounded her whole body, and Lei Bingfu felt comfortable and relaxed.
The scene of their encounter with the monster that day reappeared in her mind.
No one knew what happened. The woman speaking in front of her suddenly turned into a monster and was about to bite her.
If Murong Ke hadn't pushed her away in time, she might be dead now.
He actually got hurt trying to protect her... He protected her in his arms, sent her to the safest place, and went to deal with the monster again without saying a word.
Lei Bingfu closed her eyes. No matter in the past life or in this life, Murong Ke was the first person to protect her like this.
The emperor in his memory, if he encountered danger, would first think of protecting himself, not the woman around him.
This is also the reason why she personally took care of Murong Ke for three days.
She didn't want anything to happen to him.
Lei Bingfu shook her head and sighed secretly in her heart, her feelings towards Murong Ke became a little complicated.
