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

Shen Bingning and Qing'er walked around and saw that they were surrounded by dense woods. There was only a narrow official road extending forward. There was no other choice, which was obviously not conducive to escape.

The deeper woods seemed even more serene in the dim sky, like a silent wild beast, quietly waiting for its prey to approach. This made Shen Bingning feel a little afraid and she did not dare to explore any deeper.

At this time, the soldiers accompanying them had already set up their tents. Qing'er suggested, "My queen, the wind is strong in the forest. Why don't we go into the tent first to take shelter."

Shen Bingning nodded in agreement. Her tent was next to the main tent.

As soon as I stepped into the tent, before I could even stand firmly, I heard Xiao Shengzi's voice calling from outside: "Miss Shen, His Majesty invites you to come over and have dinner with us."

Shen Bingning had no choice but to turn around and walk out the door towards the main tent.

Inside the tent, the dining table was already filled with all kinds of delicacies. Eunuch Wei stood beside Xiao Yi, about to serve him the food.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Shen Bingning saluted.

Xiao Yi glanced lightly at Eunuch Wei, who immediately understood and stepped aside.

"My beloved concubine, please don't be polite. Come and have dinner with me."

Shen Bingning glanced over the delicious food on the table, which included both mountain and sea delicacies as well as wild game.

They had camped for only an hour, yet they were able to prepare all these dishes so quickly. This showed that Emperor Xiao Yi would never treat himself badly even when he was in the wild.

Sitting next to Xiao Yi, Shen Bingning tactfully picked up a piece of game with chopsticks and put it into Xiao Yi's bowl: "Your Majesty usually enjoys palace delicacies. Why not change your taste today and try the flavor of the wild."

After saying this, she also picked a piece of pigeon leg and savored it carefully.

Seeing that the emperor was enjoying the venison leisurely, Eunuch Wei quietly left the tent.

Seeing this, Xiao Shengzi asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Master, His Majesty doesn't need us to serve him for dinner?"

In the past, every time we had a meal, the master would either serve the food himself or stand by, but today's situation was completely different from usual.

Eunuch Wei glanced at Xiao Shengzi and said in a reproachful tone: "Have you forgotten the rules I taught you a few days ago so quickly?"

Xiao Shengzi's eyes moved flexibly, a cunning light flashed across them, and he peered into the tent, as if he had suddenly understood some secret, a smile of sudden enlightenment bloomed on his face, and he said softly: "I am stupid, I see."

Inside the tent, Shen Bingning's eyes never left the bowl in front of Xiao Yi. Whenever the bowl seemed a little empty, she would quickly and naturally add the carefully prepared dishes to it. At the same time, she would not forget to take the opportunity to pick up a few chopsticks of her favorite dishes, striving to finish the meal quickly.

In this deep palace, living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. She knew that she had to hurry and fill her stomach before Xiao Yi changed his mind.

In just half a month, she has already learned how to prepare for a rainy day.

Shen Bingning picked up another piece of tender chicken for Xiao Yi and savored the delicious taste herself. Out of the corner of her eye she inadvertently noticed that Xiao Yi's movements suddenly paused.

Are you full so soon? She is still not satisfied and is enjoying this rare delicious meal.

Holding a chicken leg in her mouth, Shen Bingning's voice was a little unclear because of the food: "Your Majesty, are you full?" There was a hint of confusion in her curiosity.

Xiao Yi did not answer directly, but asked instead: "My dear, do you have a special liking for chicken?" His voice was low, with a barely perceptible hint of inquiry.

Shen Bingning didn't understand and simply nodded, but she didn't show her confusion.

Xiao Yi raised his lips to smile lightly, but there seemed to be a hint of coldness hidden in that smile: "Since my beloved concubine is so partial to it, then all the remaining chicken will belong to Miss Shen."

What was going on here? Shen Bingning looked at the plate full of chicken helplessly. Although she was not yet full, it was really difficult for her to eat so much by herself.

Seeing that she didn't move, Xiao Yi's tone was teasing: "My beloved concubine, why don't you eat? Are you so moved by my generosity that you don't know what to do?"

Touched? Shen Bingning smiled bitterly in her heart. This was not touching at all, it was simply a headache!

"I am full."

She replied softly, preferring to endure hunger rather than burden her stomach with too much.

"Then put it aside for now and enjoy it when my beloved is hungry. Or, my beloved can go out for a walk to aid digestion and then come back to enjoy it." Xiao Yi wiped his hands gracefully as he spoke, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes.

What a moody person! Shen Bingning sighed in her heart. It seems that she must eat this plate of chicken.

She took a big bite of the chicken leg, as if she was chewing on Xiao Yi's arrogance.

Xiao Yi propped up his chin with a deep gaze, quietly observing Shen Bingning eating chicken, thinking secretly in his heart: This girl wanted to escape as soon as she left the capital, she must be taught a lesson.

Until Shen Bingning swallowed the last piece of chicken with difficulty, stood up despite the fullness, and said goodbye politely: "I have finished eating, and I want to go for a walk to digest the food."

Xiao Yi also stood up and stretched, his tone gentle but with a hint of unquestionable: "It's getting late, my beloved concubine, please rest early after digesting the food, and don't let your mind wander."

Shen Bingning's heart tightened. Could it be that Xiao Yi had sensed her intention to escape? She had kept this matter a secret and only planned it silently in her mind. How could Xiao Yi have such a keen insight?

She cautiously probed: "Your Highness, what do you mean by wild thoughts?"

Seeing that she was as nervous as if facing a great enemy, Xiao Yi felt a little happy inexplicably in his heart, and explained in a relaxed tone: "I am just reminding my beloved concubine that you need to get up early and travel tomorrow, and don't be greedy for bed."

"Haha, how dare I sleep in?"

Shen Bingning laughed at herself. If she really still wanted to stay in bed at this moment, then she was extremely stupid.

She forced out one last smile and slowly walked out of the tent.

When Qing'er saw her master coming out, she hurried forward and respectfully called out, "Madam."

Shen Bingning said nothing, fearing that she would feel sick if she opened her mouth.

She walked quickly to the edge of the woods, and the cool night breeze blew on her face, and the discomfort finally eased.

Qing'er noticed her discomfort and asked with concern: "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Bingning waved her hand and said lightly: "It's okay, I just ate too much. Come walk with me."

Accompanied by Qing'er, Shen Bingning walked slowly around the camp until the feeling of fullness in her stomach gradually subsided.

Back in the tent, she sipped her tea to help digestion.

At this time, two young eunuchs carried in a large wooden barrel, followed by a young palace maid holding a bath towel, dried flower petals and other bathing supplies, and said softly: "Madam, the hot water is ready, I will serve you to bathe."

After being nervous all day with Xiao Yi, Shen Bingning was indeed feeling tired, so she stepped behind the screen and enjoyed a warm bath.

Soaking in the warm water, Shen Bingning stroked the toad blood on her arm, thinking to herself about Xiao Yi's unspeakable physiological secret.
