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

She closed her eyes helplessly, bent down to pick up the memorial, put it back where it was, and was about to pull her hand away, but Xiao Yi held her wrist tightly.

"With me here, my beloved concubine, what do you have to fear?"

Xiao Yi was obviously dissatisfied with Shen Bingning's refusal.

Shen Bingning sighed in her heart, the most untrustworthy person is the king in front of her.

"Your Majesty, what I hope to get more are those gold, silver and jewelry that I can touch." You should reward me with more practical things. As for those memorials, whoever is interested can read them.

Xiao Yi's fingers involuntarily clasped Shen Bingning's delicate wrist, his strength revealing an unquestionable majesty, "My beloved, don't you believe in my decision?"

Yes, no trust at all.

Shen Bingning muttered in her heart, but on the surface she was full of sincerity and gentleness, "This is entirely out of consideration for Your Majesty. If I rashly get involved in government affairs, I am afraid it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction among the ministers. That would only cause unnecessary trouble and distress to Your Majesty."

"In this vast land of Yan, I have the final say on everything."

Xiao Yi's words were powerful and revealed his unquestionable determination.

However, the sky of Yan State was not yet complete at that time, and his bold words seemed too arrogant.

Obviously, Xiao Yi was determined to get her involved in court affairs today.

Shen Bingning was quick-witted and came up with a plan in an instant. She slowly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you issue an order yourself? If I am impeached by the ministers for interfering in state affairs, Your Majesty can expel me from the palace, but please save my life."

This arrangement undoubtedly brought her one big step closer to leaving this magnificent cage.

Moreover, with the emperor's decree, her life safety can be guaranteed.

Feeling that the force holding her wrist was getting stronger, Shen Bingning struggled lightly, trying to free herself from the grip.

Xiao Yi showed a hint of displeasure on Shen Bingning's slight resistance. Instead, he pulled her closer, almost touching their noses. "My beloved concubine is always so thoughtful. Since you are so good at planning, I will trouble you to take care of the trivial matters in the palace."

Ouch, how come this script has completely deviated from its original track!

Shen Bingning quickly adjusted her strategy: "Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to read the memorial?"

Her mind changed at this moment, and she suddenly became very interested in those memorials.

"My beloved concubine, what you said makes sense. People in the harem should not directly participate in government affairs. But my beloved concubine has considered this for me. If you can manage the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner, I can save a lot of trouble."

The turmoil and complexity of the harem will not help her escape from here faster. Shen Bingning is unwilling to take over this stressful and harmful job. "I have never learned how to manage a harem. It is better to let Sister Yu handle this matter."

"My beloved concubine is very talented, and learning will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

With just one sentence, Xiao Yi easily dispelled Shen Bingning's refusal.

If she doesn't get out of this situation now, she might really be forced to take on the heavy responsibility of being the chief steward of the harem.

"Alas! I suddenly feel unwell and may not be able to hold on. I will take my leave first. It is difficult for me to take on the important task entrusted by the emperor. It is better to find another wise man."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly left Longzhang Palace, her steps were so fast that it seemed as if there were thousands of troops chasing her.

As soon as Qing'er, the personal maid, arrived at the gate of Longzhang Palace, she saw her master almost running out, and she hurriedly followed closely behind him.

Xiao Yi looked at Shen Bingning's hasty escape, but he was extremely happy. He immediately summoned Eunuch Wei and ordered him, "Convey my order. From now on, all affairs in the palace will be under the full responsibility of Concubine Shen."

"According to the order."

Eunuch Wei took the order and immediately stepped out of the door, following Shen Bingning's footsteps.

"Lady Shen, please stay!"

According to the rules of the palace, this decree must first be conveyed to Concubine Shen before it can be announced to the entire palace.

Qing'er turned around when she heard the voice and saw Eunuch Wei chasing after her breathlessly. She quickly reminded him, "My lord, Eunuch Wei is chasing after us."

However, when he turned around, he found that his master had already walked away, and his figure was getting smaller and smaller.

Didn’t Concubine Shen hear Eunuch Wei’s call?

In fact, she heard it, but her intuition told her that it must not be good news, so she quickened her pace.

Until Eunuch Wei chased to the front of Fengqing Palace, he said breathlessly: "Lady Shen, I am here to convey the emperor's will."

Lady Shen's pace was so fast that Eunuch Wei couldn't catch up with her even after jogging.

Shen Bingning looked calm, as if she had expected this. "Go back and tell the Emperor to take back his decision."

Eunuch Wei quickly advised: "Lady Shen, I haven't been able to tell you the emperor's will yet. It's actually a good job!"

"No need to say more, I don't accept it."

She was resolute.

Eunuch Wei was slightly stunned, then he came to his senses and tried to persuade her earnestly: "Lady Shen, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed."

Lady Shen's courage is growing day by day. She even dares to publicly reject the emperor's order. He feels that this is not the first time this has happened.

"Then go back and tell the emperor that if he wants me to accept his order, then issue another decree that is beneficial to me."

She won't do anything that has no benefit.

Eunuch Wei asked doubtfully, "What is the decree?"

"The emperor naturally knows what is going on."

Eunuch Wei returned to Longzhang Palace with these words in mind, and waited with his head down for the emperor's final decision.

Xiao Yi put down the memorial in his hand and complained in a low voice: "This guy is getting bolder and bolder, and he even learned to bargain!"

Eunuch Wei secretly agreed in his heart. Indeed, he had been in the palace for so many years and had seen all kinds of people, but only Concubine Shen dared to be so unscrupulous in front of the Emperor.

But then again, the reason why Concubine Shen dared to do so was because of the emperor's favor.

"Go tell Shen Bingning that I agree to her request, but if you can't even handle this little thing in the harem, I will revoke this favor at any time."

The conversation between the two masters was implicit and subtle, which made the head guard beside them confused, but he did not dare to ask more questions. He could only go to Qingfeng Hall again to convey the master's will.

Seeing that he had nothing in his hands, Shen Bingning couldn't help but ask, "Where's the imperial edict?"

"The emperor has promised personally, and there is no need for an imperial decree to prove it."

Shen Bingning sneered. Verbal promises are so fragile. If Xiao Yi wants to go back on his word, it will be easy. "I only recognize the imperial decree. Verbal words are not enough."

The head guard was speechless for a moment, and returned to Longzhang Palace awkwardly, reporting truthfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen said that she would not believe it unless it was an imperial decree."

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, "Very good!"

Then he raised the imperial brush with a dark face, quickly wrote an imperial edict, and threw it to the head guard, "Give it to her! When she arrives at the county villa, we will settle the account!"
