The panic caused by the monsters in Wuling has calmed down a lot after these few days. People began to come and go on the street. Although everyone had lingering fears, they were willing to believe that the imperial court could protect them.
The Lei family's mansion is now very quiet, except for the garrison of Wuling and the prefect who are here, there are many more officers and soldiers inside and outside the mansion.
"Master Song, the weather is so hot, why are you still outside? This is the sour plum soup that I asked my servants to cook, just for you to relieve the heat." A young girl came in steps, and she bowed to the others one by one, with bright eyes Looking at Song Jiong standing outside the yard with a smile.
"Miss Lei." Song Jiong recognized the second girl from the Lei family and Concubine Lei Hui's younger sister, and bowed politely.
This young girl is Lei Bingfu's concubine sister. Although she is not as beautiful as Lei Bingfu, she has fair skin and is quite delicate.
"Master Song, drink some sour plum soup." Lei Jieting said with a smile, "My lords have worked hard too. Let's drink a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve the heat."
"Thank you, Miss Lei." Everyone who was really tired from standing thanked them one after another. After eating a bowl of cold sour plum soup, they really felt refreshed, and their impression of Lei Jieting was a bit better.
As expected of Concubine Lei Hui's younger sister, she was really thorough, knowing that they needed a bowl of sour plum soup.
Song Jiong held the sour plum soup in his hand and didn't drink it right away. He glanced at Lei Jieting. The emperor fainted from exhaustion after killing the monster. Under the advice of Concubine Lei Hui, they placed the emperor in Lei's house to recuperate. It's more complicated, but under the order of Concubine Lei Hui, other members of the Lei family dare not come and disturb easily, only the second girl Lei appears from time to time.
"Don't bother Miss Lei, we have tea here." Song Jiong said quietly.
Lei Jieting smiled and said, "No trouble, Mr. Song, you are welcome. Are your injuries better?"
Song Jiong nodded distantly, "It's okay."
He was injured while dealing with monsters, his left hand was broken, and other minor injuries are not worth mentioning, as long as the monsters are killed.
"The emperor...hasn't woken up yet?" Lei Jieting looked worriedly at the closed door, "I haven't seen my sister since she's been back for so long."
Song Jiong glanced at Lei Jieting, disapproving of her intimacy with Concubine Lei Hui. Before the emperor asked him to check the details of Lei's family, he remembered that the relationship between Concubine Lei Hui and the second girl Lei Hui 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, 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, the emperor was inside.
Lei Jieting didn't feel unhappy because of Song Jiong's words, and said with a smile, "The emperor will do well for the people by eliminating harm."
"Yes." Song Jiong nodded without saying anything.
At this moment, the closed door opened, and Lei Bingfu stood by the door, looking at Lei Jieting coldly and indifferently.
"Concubine Hui!" Song Jiong saw Lei Bingfu and bowed.
"Sister." A pure smile appeared on Lei Jieting's face.
Lei Bingfu's cold eyes flashed across Lei Jieting's face, and landed on Song Jiong, "Sir Song, the emperor let you in."
Song Jiong was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Ma'am, the emperor is awake?"
When the others heard this, they hurried forward, "Is the emperor awake?"
"The emperor has something to say to Lord Song, let the other adults leave here first, and when the emperor recovers, he will summon all the adults." Lei Bingfu said softly, her voice was not loud, but she had a dignified majesty Show it.
"Yes, I will take my leave first." Except for Song Jiong, everyone bowed and said goodbye.
Lei Jieting stood where she was, her eyes were always on Lei Bingfu.
This was the first time Lei Bingfu saw this sister after she came back.
What a change.
Unexpectedly, Lei Bingfu could become a favorite concubine in the palace. What is so great about her that the emperor can treat her so well.
I thought that this sister would not have a good life after entering the palace.
"You." Lei Bingfu looked down at Lei Jieting faintly, "What's the matter?"
"Sister, I brought sour plum soup to the adults. The weather is hot and hot, just to relieve the heat. Do you want it?" Lei Jieting asked with a smile.
The corners of Lei Bingfu's mouth raised slightly, "Second sister is really considerate and gentle. Normally, you wouldn't want to leave your room due to the weather. It's an honor to be willing to send you plum soup today."
"I used to have an older sister in everything, so I would be lazy whenever I could." Lei Jieting said, as if she couldn't understand Lei Bingfu's sarcasm.
"Second girl, please leave here, and don't let anyone else in here." Lei Bingfu ordered to the guards outside.
Waiting for idlers? The smile on Lei Jieting's face froze slightly, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and still maintained an elegant posture, "Sister, then I'll go first."
Song Jiong glanced at Lei Bingfu, bowed his head and went in to see Murong Ke.
Lei Bingfu looked at Lei Jieting's back, a shadow cast over his eyes.
Others don't understand Lei Jieting, she really understands how deep this girl's mind is, so deep that she, a veteran of the palace fight, 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 get me water to the west wing." Lei Bingfu told the maid, in order to take care of Murong Ke, she has been able to tidy herself up these few days, closing her eyes and resting for a few hours a day.
Lei Bingfu didn't go in to find Murong Ke again, she knew he must have something to tell Song Jiong.
When she returned to the West Wing, the servant girl had prepared hot water, and the warm water surrounded her whole body, and it was only then that Lei Bingfu felt relaxed.
The scene of their encounter with the monster that day replayed in her mind.
No one knew what happened, the woman who was 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 by now.
He would actually get hurt protecting her... He held her in his arms, sent her to the safest place, and went to deal with the monster without even saying a word.
Lei Bingfu closed her eyes, no matter in the previous life or in this life, Murong Ke was the first person to protect her like this.
The emperor in his memory, if he was in danger, his first thought was to escort and protect himself, not the women around him.
This is why she took care of Murong Ke personally for three days.
She doesn't want anything to happen to him.
Lei Bingfu shook her head, sighed secretly in her heart, her feelings towards Murong Ke became somewhat complicated.
