After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

If it was a simple and innocent little white flower, what should I do now?

Shen Bingning fell into deep thought, and gradually something came to her mind.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you very much!"

Under the bright sunshine, she stood in the yard and greeted people repeatedly, watching the strong men carrying boxes out one by one, and then looking at the empty room. Shen Bingning nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Zhong, who had just entered the room, was holding a cup of tea. Seeing this, he trembled and almost dropped the cup. He panicked and said, "Your Majesty! These are all betrothal gifts from His Majesty. How can you return them all?"

"You are still young, you don't understand."

Shen Bingning waved her hand with a confident look on her face.

As a pure and innocent little white flower, how could I accept such a precious gift from the male protagonist?

We should return everything and tell him that the only thing he wants is to be together forever, and these external things are not important...

Thinking of this, her eyes were still attracted by the faintly flickering precious light in the box, and her gaze was firmly locked on it, unable to move away.

Those treasures shining with colorful lights seemed to be waving to her.

Shen Bingning suppressed her inner desire, forced herself to close her eyes and stop peeking.

How can these not be important!

This money is enough to keep her well-fed and well-clothed, and to live a carefree life for several lifetimes!

For the sake of the mission, she could only endure it!

Shen Bingning clenched her fists and sighed inwardly: It's really not easy to be the heroine!

While she was enjoying herself, the situation on the other hand was becoming increasingly tense.

Looking at the boxes of betrothal gifts returning to the hall unopened, the emperor, who was sitting high on the throne and was the first to review the memorials, looked increasingly gloomy, and the heavy atmosphere was almost suffocating.

"See Your Majesty!"

Lu Zhong at the end of the team knelt down hurriedly and saluted.

The wolf-hair brush in Xiao Yi's hand snapped into two pieces between his white fingers. He raised his eyes with a deep gaze: "What does Shen Bingning mean by this?"

Lu Zhong replied tremblingly: "Your Highness, I... I don't know. The Queen just opened one of the boxes, played with the night pearl inside for a while, and then ordered everyone to return all the betrothal gifts..."

"Night Pearl..."

Xiao Yi whispered, his expression becoming even darker when he heard this.

Could it be that she was reminded of Xiao Qian by the sight of the object?

You still have him in your heart, so you rejected my marriage proposal?

"boom!"

A palm slammed heavily on the table, causing a loud noise.

Lu Zhong lowered his head in fear, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Highness, calm down. Maybe the queen has her own unspeakable secrets!"

"A secret that cannot be told? Humph!"

Xiao Yi sneered.

There is no secret that cannot be told. It's just that you have someone you love and don't want to marry me.

There was a depth in his cold eyes, and the dappled sunlight falling between them seemed to be soaked in the coldness, revealing a hint of paranoid madness.

The more she resisted, the more he was determined to go against the current, regardless of the consequences.

-

The moon was hanging high in the sky, and Shen Bingning was enjoying the moon leisurely in the pavilion of Liufang Garden. There was delicious tea and cakes on the table, and she felt very comfortable.

Seeing Lu Zhong hurried over, she waved with a smile: "Lu Zhong, you're back?"

Lu Zhong, who had just escaped from Xiao Xiaoyi's pressure, looked anxious: "My queen, are you still in the mood to leisurely enjoy the moon now?"

"What happened?" Shen Bingning pretended to be ignorant.

Lu Zhong was so anxious that he kept turning around: "Why are you returning the betrothal gifts? His Highness is furious!"

"that is because--"

Shen Bingning was about to speak, but was interrupted by the eunuch outside the door with a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has arrived——"

Coming at this time?

Shen Bingning held up her chin and thought.

It seems that this incident has dealt him a heavy blow?

"My queen, please go and comfort His Highness!"

Lu Zhong reminded softly and turned to prepare new tea.

"Your Majesty is an adult, do you really need to be coaxed..."

Shen Bingning smiled bitterly and looked at Xiao Yi, who was dressed in a black robe. The black clothes blended perfectly with the night and were as cold as a crescent moon.

He walked directly to the table, his eyes swept across the tea and snacks in the air, his eyes became even more gloomy: "It seems that you are in a good mood?"

Noticing the man's unusual expression, Shen Bingning waved her hand quickly: "No, I don't know why Your Highness came to visit so late at night. What's the matter?"

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Yi fixed his eyes on her beautiful face and asked in a deep voice, "Sister... you really don't know?"

Shen Bingning stepped forward quickly: "It's about me returning the betrothal gift, right? There is a reason. Let me explain--"

"My brother is dead."

Xiao Yi interrupted her coldly.

"what?"

Shen Bingning was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

"Sister, do you still care about the position of Queen and are unwilling to give in?"

Xiao Yi spoke with anger, holding her neck with his hands, forcing her to get close to him, his eyes reddening even more: "How is he better than me? Why is he so unforgettable to you?"

Shen Bingning suddenly realized.

Xiao Yi completely misunderstood her intention of returning the betrothal gift.

"Listen to my explanation..."

"Now, I am the emperor!"

Xiao Yi's emotions became more and more agitated, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists: "Why did you agree to marry him, but I offered him the position of queen, but you refused to accept it?"

"..."

Please give me a chance to explain!

Shen Bingning sighed in her heart, still unwilling to give up, "That's why I said——"

"Now, you don't have that right."

Xiao Yi's words were like a wall, blocking all of Shen Bingning's excuses.

"Even if it's strong, I will make you my bride."

Xiao Yi's hand gently slid across her slender neck, with an almost obsessive desire to control, and finally stopped at her chin.

"So, I hope you still——"

"enough!"

Shen Bingning's patience had reached its limit, and she shouted loudly, so loud that Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment.

"You've been talking for so long, can't you just let me finish?"

Shen Bingning slapped him hard, just like how she, as an older sister, taught her ignorant brother a lesson three years ago.

Xiao Yi seemed to be restrained by his deep-seated awe for his sister and stopped talking.

"Return the betrothal gifts. It has nothing to do with Xiao Qian!"

Shen Bingning finally had the opportunity to pour out her heart: "It's just because of those gifts that I can't afford to prepare a matching dowry."

She secretly glanced at Xiao Yi. Although his face looked calm, the surprise in his eyes did not escape her.

"this one?"

He seemed a little bit unbelievable.

"Emperor is such a big deal. If I can't provide a suitable dowry, wouldn't that be a disgrace to myself?"

Shen Bingning glanced at him disapprovingly: "Or does Your Majesty just want to see me make a fool of myself?"

Xiao Yi did not respond, his eyes occasionally falling on her face, weighing the truth of what she said.

After a moment, he loosened his hand and said soothingly, "Don't worry about that."

"How can I not be broken..." Shen Bingning glared back in annoyance.

"I have already arranged the dowry."

"Ok?"

This time it was Shen Bingning's turn to be stunned.

She touched her ear subconsciously.

If I heard correctly, Xiao Yi said that even her dowry was ready?

How can a groom have to pay a betrothal gift and prepare a dowry?

Looking at Xiao Yi's slightly red ears, and then thinking of Xiao Qian who even divided the dowry clearly, Shen Bingning sighed in her heart.

Compared to this, Xiao Yi is simply the best man in the world!

It's a pity that this character only exists in the book. If there is such a handsome man in real life who is willing to marry her in this way, she will agree without hesitation.

But according to the role setting, she still has to persuade.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is against etiquette."

She reminded softly.

"Didn't you say I am His Majesty?"
