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

Thinking of this, Shen Bingning couldn't help but shudder, and the desire to escape from Xiao Yi became stronger.

She continued to flip through the pages, but only briefly glanced at the many contemporary celebrities mentioned in the book, such as calligraphy masters, musicians, and literati.

It was not until Shen Bingning read about Master Shikong, who was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography and well-informed about ancient and modern times, that her heart moved.

She didn't dare to conclude whether Master Shikong was really as powerful as described in the book, but this might be the key clue for her to find her way home.

It would be best if we could meet with Master Shikong and find out the truth.

Shen Bingning closed the book, looked at Xiao Yi, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, I saw some character introductions in the book, and I am quite curious. I would like to ask Your Majesty to enlighten me."

Xiao Yi turned his gaze towards Shen Bingning, and his tone was rarely gentle: "Who interests you so much?"

Today's sun seemed to be even hotter than usual, and Shen Bingning felt an unusual atmosphere.

Normally, Xiao Yi's questions were always accompanied by a bit of joking, but today he was unexpectedly direct.

But she was eager to explain Master Kong's deeds, so she put aside her strange feeling for the time being and asked directly: "The book mentions Master Shi Kong. I want to know, is he really knowledgeable about astronomy and geography?"

"Master Shikong is a monk with profound enlightenment. He has been connected with Buddhism since he was young. Master Lingshan personally accepted him as a disciple. He has been immersed in Buddhism since he was young and has unique insights into everything in the world."

There is a hint of respect in Xiao Yi's description, which is rare under normal circumstances.

This time, Shen Bingning couldn't ignore the feeling that something was wrong. She stared at Xiao Yi and said firmly, "Your Highness seems to be different today."

In her eyes, Xiao Yi was an extraordinary person, but today he was too normal, so normal that it seemed abnormal.

Xiao Yi's eyes shone at these words, and he immediately listened to the noise outside the car and decisively ordered: "Stop the car."

When the carriage stopped, Xiao Yi got off immediately, leaving Shen Bingning alone in the carriage to figure out the reason for his abnormal behavior today.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Yi returned and saw Shen Bingning staring at him intently. He smiled calmly and said, "My beloved concubine, why are you staring at me like this? What do you want to do?"

"Your Highness, did you go to the bathroom just now?"

After much thought, she could only come up with this slightly embarrassing reason to explain his sudden departure and quick return.

"No."

Xiao Yi's eyes swept across the book on the table, "Have you finished reading the book? Tell me what it's about."

Shen Bingning responded: "Your Highness hasn't finished talking about Master Shikong yet."

Xiao Yi casually picked up an unused teacup and took a sip, his expression indifferent: "I'm thirsty. I don't want to say more. Tell me the story."

The strange feeling that Shen Bingning had felt before instantly disappeared. In the whole world, only Xiao Yi had such an unpleasant personality.

She said softly, "The book says that Master Shikong is an accomplished monk who knows everything about astronomy and geography..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yi's voice cut through the air like ice: "Is this the only person in the book? Let's change the subject."

Shen Bingning's fingers were tense, and she almost wanted to bang the table to vent her anger, but she forced herself to suppress the impulse.

Deep in her heart, she reminded herself that Xiao Yi in front of her was the one who could easily control her fate. Any rash action might bring unpredictable consequences. Moreover, even if she took action, the odds of winning might not be on her side.

She took a deep breath, and her voice flowed out calmly and slowly: "This is all I have read so far. The remaining chapters have not been touched yet."

Xiao Yi flipped through the half-read book casually, with a playful smile on his face: "My beloved concubine, your habit of reading is to start from the middle?"

Shen Bingning pretended to be relaxed, with a barely perceptible hint of provocation in her tone: "I prefer this."

She had indeed glanced through it, but how could Xiao Yi know? Since she was in a bad mood, why not let him feel it too.

Her mood seemed to be engraved on her face. Xiao Yi caught all of it, snorted coldly, and threw the book back to her: "Then, my beloved concubine, let's discuss it after you finish reading it."

She was secretly happy that she could finally have some peace and quiet.

Shen Bingning gently placed the book on the table, then leisurely picked up the teacup, occasionally lifted the car curtain, and looked through the gap in the curtain to the scenery outside the window, expressing her dissatisfaction silently.

As the convoy gradually approached the border between Yan and Chu, the accompanying guards were all nervous and extremely alert.

However, Xiao Yi still maintained his composure as if he was facing a catastrophe, which made Shen Bingning sneer in her heart.

The tea slowly slid into her stomach, and the natural needs that followed forced her to call the driver to stop.

However, the carriage did not seem to receive her instructions and continued to gallop forward. Obviously, it was only obeying Xiao Yi's orders.

Shen Bingning straightened her back, deliberately avoided Xiao Yi's gaze, and decided to endure it silently, unwilling to bow her head to him for help.

Time passed minute by minute, until noon, when the team finally needed to rest.

She vowed to herself that she must hold on until that moment.

While Shen Bingning was anxiously waiting, finally, the voice of Eunuch Wei was heard, asking if they wanted to stop the car and rest.

Although she had vowed not to look at Xiao Yi again, after hearing these words, Shen Bingning couldn't help but look at him, her eyes full of anticipation and eagerness.

Xiao Yi just gently closed the book, calmly adjusted his sleeves, and said calmly: "Keep going."

Shen Bingning tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, knowing that Xiao Yi was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she had reached her limit, "Your Highness..."

However, Xiao Yi did not allow her to say more, and his tone was firm and unquestionable: "Don't say anything more until you finish reading the book."

Shen Bingning picked up the book, pretended to flip through a few pages carefully, and said, suppressing her inner irritation, "I have finished reading it. Which part does Your Majesty want to know?"

She urged him to ask quickly so that she could solve the urgent matter!

However, Xiao Yi's answer was unexpected: "At this moment, I am not interested in listening to any stories."

Shen Bingning was almost consumed by this anger. How could there be such a hateful person in this world? She secretly prayed to God in her heart, please take this person away quickly!

Her face was extremely gloomy, and her fists were clenched. "Since Your Majesty is not interested in listening, can you please stop the carriage for a moment?"

She really couldn't bear it anymore!

Xiao Yi was still unhurried, "My beloved concubine, weren't you quite interested in the story of Master Shikong before? I will tell you about it right now."

"I am no longer in the mood to listen."

Shen Bingning's eyes were red and tears were flashing in her eyes, which was caused by her anxiety.

Enough is enough! If he were not a king, she would have taught him a lesson long ago.

Anger diluted her fear of Xiao Yi, and she risked her life, "If Your Majesty does not ask the driver to stop, I will have to ask you to prepare another carriage."
