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

Zhou Yishan laughed out loud, not caring at all: "Although I am rude, I dare to charge into battle and defend my homeland. Unlike you, you are so fussy about a little reward. It is really not the behavior of a gentleman."

Pei Fengxu's face flushed red, and he pointed at Zhou Yishan with trembling fingers. He was speechless for a long time. In the end, he could only bow to Xiao Yi on the dragon throne and returned to his seat full of resentment.

"So, today's court meeting ends here."

Xiao Yi stood up and announced, "The Queen's reward will be as the General of the Cavalry said. The court is dismissed."

The ministers bowed respectfully and said in unison: "We respectfully send your Majesty off."

After leaving Taiji Palace, Eunuch Wei cautiously asked Xiao Yi: "Your Majesty, are you going to Fengqing Palace?"

Xiao Yi glanced at him indifferently, then stepped onto the dragon chariot.

Eunuch Wei understood what he meant and announced loudly: "Let's go to Fengqing Palace."

Shen Bingning got up at dawn today. After having breakfast, she waited quietly in the hall for Xiao Yi to arrive.

As the sun gradually rose higher, voices of greetings were heard outside the hall.

Shen Bingning quickly stood up from the couch and walked quickly to the door, ready to greet the legendary tyrant. She saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you."

Xiao Yi gently took Shen Bingning's hand, his tone full of tenderness: "My beloved concubine, there is no need to be polite."

This was completely different from the man who had threatened to throw her into the lake to catch fish, as if they were two completely different people.

Shen Bingning sneered in her heart. It turned out that this tyrant was also two-faced. He was only kind to her when necessary, otherwise he would threaten and intimidate her.

She followed Xiao Yi into the inner room and said as she walked: "Your Majesty, I have copied 100,000 Buddhist scriptures. Please take a look."

Xiao Yi sat down, and before Qing'er presented the Buddhist scriptures, he said, "I naturally trust the Buddhist scriptures copied by my beloved concubine."

Eunuch Wei stepped forward and took the Buddhist scripture from Qing'er.

Shen Bingning sat beside Xiao Yi, waiting, but found that Xiao Yi was just playing with her fingers and said nothing about the misfortune she had encountered outside the palace. She couldn't help feeling sad.

She gently withdrew her hand, stood up, and knelt on the ground resolutely, her face full of sadness.

"Your Majesty, I have heard rumors circulating in the palace recently. I know that I have brought shame upon Your Majesty. The blame lies entirely with me. I should have committed suicide to apologize, but the drum cart has not yet been used in the rice fields, and the cart overturning plan has not yet been completed. I have no choice but to live in disgrace, but I cannot face Your Majesty again. I beg Your Majesty to deprive me of my title and expel me from the palace."

Xiao Yi's fingers unconsciously slid across the air, his eyes fixed on Shen Bingning who was kneeling on the ground, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"What crime have you committed, my beloved concubine? You did not want to be kidnapped, and I will reward you handsomely."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and called out, "Wei Quanxi."

Eunuch Wei smiled widely, stepped forward, and announced, "Empress, for your contribution in drawing the barrel cart, His Majesty has granted you a box of jewels, a thousand taels of gold, and five years' salary for Lord Zheng."

The sadness on Shen Bingning's face disappeared in an instant. Although the development of the plot was somewhat unexpected, she was still happy to get such a rich fortune.

Although the jewels were difficult to exchange directly, the thousand taels of gold were enough to ensure that she would have a worry-free life after leaving the palace.

Shen Bingning was more determined to leave the palace. She burst into tears and said, "I thank your majesty for your reward, but there are rumors everywhere in the palace. In order to preserve your majesty's reputation, I voluntarily leave the palace!"

Eunuch Wei was standing aside, feeling puzzled. What was wrong with the queen? His Majesty had already said she was innocent, so why did she insist on leaving the palace? Wasn't this against the emperor's will?

Xiao Yi didn't seem to care and asked casually, "Oh? Then whether my beloved concubine is innocent or not, don't you know it best in your heart?"

Shen Bingning understood it in her heart, but now was not the time to confess.

She replied sadly: "I lost consciousness after being abducted. As for my innocence..."

At this point, the news of her coma spread like a gust of wind, sweeping across the entire palace. Even in the most secret corners, everyone knew about it.

In this storm, she herself seemed to be sleeping in the endless night, unaware of the turmoil and speculation from the outside world.

As for the real intentions behind those rumors and how they will be interpreted, everything depends on Xiao Yi's unfathomable mind and will.

Rumors are like mosquitoes in summer, penetrating into every pore. Information mixed with truth and falsehood spreads freely among people's mouths and ears. Even the most resilient man would inevitably feel resentful when faced with such a heavy blow to his reputation, let alone Xiao Yi, who is the emperor and the ruler of a country.

In his chest, anger and dignity intertwined into an impenetrable net, waiting for the right opportunity to counterattack.

Although Xiao Yi knew everything that Shen Bingning had experienced after being abducted, the novel experience of witnessing someone so eager to throw dirty water on the person they loved brought a playful smile to his lips.

Obviously, she was eager to return home and wanted to clarify everything, but he enjoyed the pleasure of crushing other people's hopes with his own hands at the critical moment.

Xiao Yi's fingers gently stroked the ring in his palm, which was a symbol of power and status. He spoke in a long tone, as if he was savoring an upcoming feast: "Since my beloved concubine's memory is wrong, you might as well take your time and think carefully. But I am really hungry, please serve the meal."

"As you command." Eunuch Wei's voice was filled with unquestionable respect, and he turned around. In a moment, a group of eunuchs came in with various dishes in their hands. The aroma that filled the air immediately made people's appetites grow. However, Xiao Yi did not signal Shen Bingning to stand up, so she could only continue to kneel. The pain in her knees was like a needle piercing her, reminding her of her impulse and regret for kneeling.

Xiao Yi ate in a leisurely manner. After breakfast, he sipped tea leisurely. His leisure was in stark contrast to Shen Bingning, who was kneeling on the ground in agony.

In her heart, she initially resented that he ate so smoothly, then hoped that he had indigestion, and finally, she even secretly cursed him to suffer from constipation. Only then did Xiao Yi slowly put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes slightly.

"Queen, are there any new memories coming to your mind?"

Shen Bingning shook her head slightly, her voice trembling slightly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty still cannot remember."

If I really remember it, wouldn't all this humiliation and suffering be endured in vain?

Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly became sharp, as piercing as ice, making people feel afraid.

Shen Bingning's heart was in turmoil, fearing that Xiao Yi would be displeased and drive her out of this magnificent cage.

However, Xiao Yi's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. He suddenly chuckled and said, "My beloved concubine is still so confused. It really makes me worried."

For a moment, Shen Bingning felt as if she was in a fog and didn't know what was going on.
