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

As soon as the words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze instantly. Xiao Yi's eyes revealed a hint of warning. The courage that Shen Bingning had just mustered up instantly condensed into a thin layer of ice like the surface of a lake attacked by the cold winter wind, and then shattered.

She laughed dryly twice, quickly adjusted her posture, and continued, "At the market, I noticed that the market planning in Chu was extremely detailed, and the various commodities were clearly distinguished. This not only facilitated the daily purchases of the people, but also facilitated the management and supervision of the government. Compared with the occasional chaos in the market of Yan State, there are indeed things worth learning from."

Xiao Yi's eyes were as sharp as a hawk: "My beloved concubine, do you think that the governance of Chu is better?"

Shen Bingning blinked her eyes. When had she ever clearly stated that Chu was better?

"I just think that some of the practices of Chu in market management are indeed desirable."

Xiao Yi didn't seem to listen to her explanation and continued to ask: "Or do you think the market in Wei is better?"

How could she evaluate the Wei Kingdom, a country she had never set foot in? His thoughts were unfathomable and even harder to grasp than the ever-changing clouds in the sky.

He mentioned various countries but did not mention South Korea. Obviously, he was still bothered by the matter of Han Ling. The sensitivity inadvertently revealed in his words was a reflection of the scars deep in his heart.

The trauma suffered in childhood is like a long shadow that silently follows a person throughout his life.

Shen Bingning deeply understood the pain in Xiao Yi's heart, so she comforted him with the most appropriate words: "In my humble eyes, there is no place in the world that can compare with Yan State. Everything in Yan State is the best."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi gently put down the book in his hand, and his deep eyes locked onto Shen Bingning, as if to see through her heart: "My beloved, do you really think so?"

Shen Bingning nodded gently. Facing such a situation, she could only say this. Xiao Yi retracted his gaze, and there were complex and difficult to discern emotions in his deep eyes.

There were several exquisite little gadgets on the table in the room. They attracted Shen Bingning's attention and made her curious: "Where did you find these cute little things?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi's expression became gloomy because of this.

These things were just sent by Eunuch Sun, who said they were farewell gifts prepared by Queen Chu because she admired Shen Bingning.

The popular person around Xiao Yuji can actually drive Queen Chu to do things. This shows that Xiao Yuji is still as stupid and blindly obedient as before!

When giving a gift, it’s natural to hope that the recipient will treasure it, isn’t it?

Xiao Yi raised a sarcastic smile and said to Shen Bingning, "These are made of top-grade warm jade. Holding them in your hands can be used for appreciation and to warm your hands. If you really like them, please accept them."

For herself? Shen Bingning glanced at the warm jade. Although it was exquisite, it was too extravagant for her status. It would be better to exchange it for practical silver.

However, how can the emperor's gift be returned?

She pursed her lips and began to calculate quickly in her mind.

As if sensing her thoughts, Xiao Yi said calmly: "This is not considered a reward. If my beloved concubine wants to give it to someone else, that's fine."

When Shen Bingning heard this, she was immediately delighted. She straightened her body and bowed respectfully to Xiao Yi: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Since it is not a reward, there will be no psychological burden if I exchange these warm jades for silver.

"You go down first. We have to set off early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Yi waved his hand casually.

"Yes."

Shen Bingning left with those little things in her arms, but she did not return to her room, but walked quickly towards the pawnshop outside the post station. Her return date was approaching, and she needed to dispose of these warm jades before leaving on the road, and she might not come across a pawnshop on the way.

"Your Majesty, the guards outside the door reported that Concubine Shen from Yan State took those gifts to the pawnshop."

Eunuch Sun reported in a low voice, his tone full of worry, fearing that he would trigger the anger of his master.

Last night, His Majesty learned that Concubine Shen had pawned the dagger he had given her. He was furious at first, but then he thought that Concubine Shen might not like the dagger, so he asked Eunuch Sun to send some small accessories that women usually like in the name of the Queen. Unexpectedly, the dagger was still sent to the pawnshop in the same way in the end.

Xiao Yuji's fingers moved on the handle of the dagger, but his face was calm: "Did she take the initiative to pawn it, or was it Xiao Yi's instruction?"

"According to the guards' description, when Lady Shen went to the pawn shop, her face seemed to... have a hint of joy on it."

Obviously, she did this voluntarily.

Xiao Yuji sheathed the dagger and said in a deep voice, "Pass on my order. Make sure to bring back Shen Bingning alive. The rest of the people, don't leave them alive."

Such a talented woman should be mine, not someone else's.

As for her, the woman who made him dream about her, didn't like the gift he gave her? No problem, everything in the world has its destiny, how can the depth of love be measured by an object?

One day, when the wind is light and the clouds are thin, and the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, she will suddenly realize that the original feelings have been deeply imprinted in her heart inadvertently, turning into tenderness around her fingers, making her fall in love with it irresistibly.

In the north courtyard, the breeze was blowing gently. Wei Yuchen stood there quietly, staring at the child in front of him with sharp eyes.

There seemed to be countless stars hidden in the child's eyes, but they were also shrouded in fog, and curiosity and confusion were intertwined on his little face.

After a long silence, the child gradually felt a chill in his heart. His body began to tremble unconsciously. He called out cautiously and almost fearfully, "Sir?"

Ever since he stepped into this quiet courtyard, or in other words, ever since he parted with that stunningly beautiful woman, Wei Yuchen's temperament seemed to have undergone a radical change, becoming majestic and inviolable, making people feel awe.

Wei Yuchen's eyes instantly gathered, as deep as an ancient pond, and he slowly said: "If you really want to follow me, then everything in the past, whether it is dust or glory, should be dispersed like floating clouds. From this moment on, your name will bid farewell to the past, and you will have a new beginning, called..."

Having said this, he paused deliberately, as if looking for the most appropriate word, and finally continued: "Song Yun."

The little boy's face instantly blossomed with joy, his eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly: "Thank you for the name!"

Seeing this, Song Jing, who was standing nearby, quickly reminded him: "Remember, you have to call me master from now on."

Song Yun reacted quickly and immediately changed his words: "Thank you for the name, Master!"

The voice was full of expectations and gratitude for the future.

Wei Yuchen's gaze passed through the layers of eaves and looked towards the distant east, his tone was full of unquestionable firmness: "I will arrange for the best teachers to teach you knowledge and martial arts. Those things in the past that you can't bear to look back on must be completely abandoned and never touched again.
