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

The sound was like a dream talk.

"Ok?"

Shen Bingning responded reflexively.

Then, her waist was pulled by a powerful force, and she leaned forward involuntarily and fell into a warm embrace.

The sudden move caught her off guard. Just as she was about to break free, she heard Xiao Yi leaning on her shoulder and saying in a daze, "Why did you leave me?"

His voice was fragile as glass.

That simple sentence instantly brought her thoughts back to three years ago.

Shen Bingning felt a dull pain in her heart, knowing that he was not fully awake yet, so she reached out and patted his back gently to comfort him.

"I'm sorry, I'm back and I won't leave again..."

Her words were sincere and earnest, but she did not notice the slightly trembling body and the cold eyes that had regained clarity.

After just a few pats, his shoulders were grabbed tightly and the two suddenly separated.

The confusion on Xiao Yi's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual indifference. He straightened his clothes, as if nothing had happened: "It's getting late, let's go back."

"Oh well."

Shen Bingning agreed vaguely, looking at his calm appearance, she laughed secretly in her heart.

This guy changes his expression faster than turning the pages of a book.

Xiao Yi walked slowly towards the horse, looked at the stag on the horse's back, jumped lightly, and sat firmly on the horse's back, like a swallow flying over the water. Shen Bingning hurried forward and said warmly: "How about I ride my horse to give you a ride, your feet..."

"It's okay now."

Xiao Yi calmly interrupted her and said in a neat tone:

"It's better for us to go our separate ways to avoid gossip."

Shen Bingning was slightly startled, then forced a smile:

"That's right. I'll go first. You be careful..."

After saying this, she no longer hesitated, jumped on the horse, and left first.

It would be the wisest thing for Xiao Yi to do. After all, it is not appropriate for women to set foot in hunting grounds. It would be best for her to go back quietly alone to avoid trouble.

Having said that, I couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.

[System, check the male protagonist's favorability. ]

Well, the mission is still important.

[Query results: Male protagonist Xiao Yi's blackening index: 90]

【Favourability: 0】

"Ouch!"

Tian Ting couldn't help but utter a curse, and the horse under her shuddered in fear.

"My lady! You are finally back. Where have you been for so long?"

Just after changing her clothes and returning to where the women gathered, Shen Bingning was almost bumped into by Lu Zhong who was in a hurry.

"I just wandered around when I had nothing to do."

"During the Spring Banquet, the women should wait until it's over. Why did you run away by yourself? If it gets out, people will accuse you of not following the rules."

Xu Qingyou was sharp-eyed and came over when he got the chance, pretending to be concerned.

Shen Bingning raised her lips, as if she was confident. She did not retreat this time, but went straight to meet him and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your concern. I believe that there will not be such an ignorant person who dares to offend me. What do you think?"

When Xu Qingyou heard this, his face immediately turned green.

She is not stupid, so how could she not hear who Shen Bingning was referring to when she said "I don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is"?

She replied with a straight face: "Your Majesty is right. I am just afraid that your Majesty will act rashly. If the news reaches the ears of the Emperor, it will affect the relationship between the two of you."

"Miss Xu, please don't worry about the relationship between me and my wife."

Shen Bingning turned back impatiently, looking at the ladies watching the excitement around her, and said with a smile: "What do you think, sisters?"

There was silence for a moment, and then someone responded cleverly: "Your Majesty, what the Queen said makes sense. What matters between husband and wife are not something that outsiders have the right to comment on."

"Yes, yes, yes, the queen is the mother of the country, who dares to gossip about her?"

Xu Qingyou listened to the responses from all around, and her face darkened. Due to her status as the queen, she could only force a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I have spoken out of turn. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Miss Xu is young and full of energy. It's okay for her to say something wrong occasionally. Just be careful in the future."

Shen Bingning smiled tolerantly and said, "It's getting late. The hunt should be almost over. I'll go first."

"Farewell to the queen."

Xu Qingyou saluted with gritted teeth, and after confirming that Shen Bingning had gone far away, he immediately stood up, completely discarding his previous respect, slammed his palm on the table, and angrily said: "You are just a commoner of humble origins, do you really think you are a phoenix?"

"Sister Xu, no matter what, she is indeed the queen now." Li Ruofu persuaded.

The more Xu Qingyou thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she couldn't help but growl, "If she hadn't died and reappeared, and used some seductive trick to charm the emperor, the position of queen should be mine!"

"Sister Xu!"

Li Ruofu's face turned pale, and she hurriedly tugged at her clothes, signaling her to stop talking: "Now that the water has been spilled, it can't be taken back. Why should Sister go and make enemies with the Queen?"

"She is just an unloved queen in the cold palace. Even if I provoke her, what can she do to me?"

Xu Qingyou became even more arrogant, with a sneer on his face: "The emperor has been slow to appoint a queen, and Shen Bingning has been the queen for just a few days since she came back. Who doesn't know this? Except for the wedding night, the emperor has never slept with her again. I think Shen Bingning is just a pretext to stop people from talking nonsense."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Qingyou could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

She was in her prime, and her father intended to send her to the palace. In terms of appearance and talent, she was the best among many women and the most promising one.

Before she could meet the emperor, Shen Bingning got there first.

Even if an old woman over 60 is pretty, how long can she be beautiful? How can she compare with me?

When she saw Shen Bingning today, although she was dressed gorgeously, she was only served by a little maid and looked so down and out. She became even more certain that the emperor did not like this "queen" at all.

A smug smile appeared on the woman's face.

If the emperor saw me, he would definitely forget about Shen Bingning completely.

Although the position of queen is stable, as long as I can enter the palace, even as a concubine, I am confident that I can climb up step by step.

As for the queen, she is only in name only and can only be a pitiful abandoned woman.

"That's what I said, but I heard that the emperor has a changeable temperament. Are you really sure?"

Li Ruofu's worried voice brought her back to reality.

Xu Qingyou snorted disdainfully: "Look at your lack of ability. Just wait and see how I climb to the top!"

After saying that, she walked out, twisting her waist.

"Sister Xu, wait for me!"

Li Ruofu shouted and chased after him.

The horn sounded again, and various horses appeared from the woods. The officials and warriors returned with loads of prey.

Shen Bingning stood in front of the crowd and looked into the forest with some worry.

Nothing should happen to Xiao Yi, right?

But her worries were immediately dispelled.

Xiao Yi was seen walking towards the crowd steadily. He had a stern expression, like a god descending from heaven, and there was no sign of previous injury at all.

"Look! The emperor's horse is carrying a wild deer!"
