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

Shen Bingning hesitated a little, and there was a bit of confusion in her words: "Master, I ask myself where I came from and where I will go. The road of life seems to be full of fog. I hope you can teach me something so that my floating heart can have something to rely on."

Upon hearing this, Master Hongyi smiled slightly, his words were mysterious and philosophical: "Everything in the world has its origin and destination, and it goes on and on in an endless cycle. Young lady, you just need to follow nature and do what you want. But according to my observation, young lady, you have a broad face and noble looks between your eyebrows. You are a sign of great wealth and honor, and you will definitely have extraordinary encounters in the future."

Although the Taoist priest's words give people hope, they still seem vague and fail to provide specific answers.

Shen Bingning did not give up and asked, "Then, can I go back to my previous living environment?"

Taoist Hongyi shook his head gently, his voice as quiet as the water in an ancient well: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Everything has its destiny and is arranged by heaven. Girl, you just need to be kind and let nature take its course, and everything will work out."

This ambiguous answer made Shen Bingning feel a little lonely. She knew that it was futile to ask any more questions, so she stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your compassionate guidance, Taoist priest. I will remember it."

After leaving the wing, Mrs. Lei saw that Shen Bingning was in a low mood and mistakenly thought that she was still sad about being divorced, so she patted her chest cheerfully and promised with a righteous look: "Sister Shen, from now on, you should treat me as your own sister! Don't be sad about that heartless man anymore, there are many good men, and I, your sister, must help you find the best home in the world!"

"Hey? Go back to that heartless man?"

Shen Bingning was shocked when she heard this. She had never mentioned returning to the place that made her disheartened, let alone to be with Xiao Yi.

Mrs. Lei misunderstood her meaning and immediately said, "Yes, just now you asked Master Hongyi if he could go back, and I guessed that you still couldn't let go of that heartless man in your heart."

"That's not the case, Mrs. Lei, you misunderstood..."

Madam Lei waved her hand, as if she understood everything: "Sister Shen, there's no need to explain. I understand. You are deeply in love with that heartless man. It's normal for you to be reluctant to accept someone else now. You might as well wait patiently. Time will dilute everything."

Fearing that Mrs. Lei really misunderstood her thoughts, Shen Bingning quickly explained: "Thank you for your kindness, sister, but I really can't let go of my late husband. I have no intention of talking about marriage again. I hope you can understand."

Mrs. Lei nodded tactfully when she saw this. She knew that she needed time to adjust her mindset, so she stopped forcing her and murmured to herself, "Sister Shen is so beautiful. I can only say that your husband is really blind."

Shen Bingning was afraid that Mrs. Lei would bring up the marriage again, so she quickly changed the subject: "Yes, he is indeed blind."

"Unfeeling man? Am I blind?"

Xiao Yi turned the letter in his hand into ashes, and a cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Do you think she can escape my control by fleeing to Texas?"

At this time, Eunuch Wei walked in quietly with hot tea. When he heard Xiao Yi's words, he hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should go up and disturb him.

It has been nearly a month since Concubine Shen left the palace. During this period, His Majesty's emotions have fluctuated like a summer storm, and as his personal attendant, he has felt it most deeply.

Whenever His Majesty heard a few words from Concubine Shen, his emotions would always fluctuate, sometimes angry, sometimes sad.

"Eunuch Wei, what are you doing standing there?"

Xiao Yi's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting his thoughts.

Eunuch Wei hurried forward, gently placed the teacup in his hand on the table, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, it is late at night, you should rest."

Xiao Yi rubbed his brows, as if he had a thousand thoughts that he couldn't resolve. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Forget it, let's go to the harem."

Concubine Yu was the only one left in the harem of Prince Yan's palace. Eunuch Wei hesitated and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you going to the Cui Palace to convey the decree?"

Xiao Yi glanced at Eunuch Wei, stood up, his robe fluttering, and said resolutely: "Let's go to Fengqing Palace."

Eunuch Wei sighed inwardly, obeyed the order, and hurriedly followed.

At the same time, in the Cui Palace, the maid Huamei hurried in and reported anxiously: "My beauty, His Majesty is going to Fengqing Palace tonight."

"Shen Bingning's influence is so great..."

She had been with Xiao Yi for many years, but had never seen him lose his composure like this, and she couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Huamei bit her lower lip gently and said softly, "My beauty, why don't you let me go and ask Lady Bixia to come over."

At this moment, in the harem, only his own beauty has won the emperor's heart. This is a good opportunity to win more favor.

Yu Meiren took a few steps forward, and gently lifted up Hua Mei's delicate face with her slender fingers, with a gentle and inquiring look in her eyes, "Hua Mei, how long have you followed me?"

Huamei lowered her head, her fine hair covering half of her face, and her voice was filled with respect and reminiscence: "For a full three years, from the day the beauty was canonized, I was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the beauty."

There was a barely perceptible hint of pride and loyalty in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Yu Meiren slowly released the hand that was holding up Hua Mei's chin, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "When I first met you, I was impressed by your intelligence and sense of propriety, so I made you the head maid in Hecui Palace. Remember, don't let me down, making decisions on your own is not something I like."

Upon hearing this, Huamei lowered her head and replied in a voice as light as a mosquito: "Yes, the beauty taught me that."

After serving the beauty for three years, she knew very well that although the beauty seemed to have no intention of competing for the emperor's favor, she actually had a yearning for freedom and art in her heart, especially her love for painting plum blossoms, which almost reached the level of obsession.

But she heard that the reason why the beauty was able to become a concubine was because of the emperor's grace that she had sought for in the past.

Why is it that when beauties are in high positions, they have no interest in those power games?

Fengqing Palace, a long-forgotten corner, is particularly busy and tense tonight because of the unexpected visit of Empress Bixia.

The palace servants shuttled back and forth, at a loss as a group of headless flies.

Xianglan watched all this with cold eyes, her tone full of unquestionable majesty, "Empress Bixia is coming, everyone, cheer up, quickly boil water for tea, prepare snacks, and I will go to light the incense in the hall."

Colleagues who usually ignored her also obeyed her orders and got busy at this moment.

After everyone left, Xianglan slowly walked into the center of the empty palace. Her eyes wandered, examining every corner of the palace, with complex envy flashing in her eyes.

A month ago, Shen Bingning brought her into Fengqing Palace, but did not specify what position she would be assigned to. She then left the palace, leaving her alone in Fengqing Palace...

She originally thought that maybe by waiting for some time, she would be able to find a new way out in Fengqing Palace, but who would have thought that Lady Bixia would appear tonight.
