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

"The Queen is a noble lady, how can Miss Xu bully her like this!"

Lu Zhong questioned angrily and tried frantically to help Shen Bingning up, but she seemed too weak and couldn't be pulled up no matter how hard he tried.

Xiao Yi's gaze became sharper and sharper. Xu Qingyou felt extremely aggrieved. He gritted his teeth and said frankly:

"I really didn't use much strength. I just stepped back a little. It's your fault that you didn't stand firmly. How can you put the blame on me?"

Lu Zhong was furious and shouted, "How can this be! Did you set a trap to harm me on purpose?"

"I am talking to the emperor. How can you, a servant, interrupt me?"

Xu Qingyou was furious at Lu Zhong's repeated counterattacks. She glared back fiercely and growled, "Your Majesty, this maid has no respect for you, she must be severely punished!"

Xiao Yi watched their quarrel quietly, and turned his gaze to the pitiful Shen Bingning on the ground: "Queen, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, Lu Zhong is just too concerned. Please be magnanimous and don't take it personally."

Shen Bingning slowly raised her head and coughed a few times, appearing weak and powerless. She said quietly, "It was because I suddenly became the queen and took away the position that Miss Xu had always dreamed of that she became unhappy and pushed me. Please forgive her, Your Majesty."

"No! Your Majesty, how can you wrongly accuse an innocent person like this!"

Xu Qingyou didn't expect Shen Bingning to make her thoughts public. Her face turned pale instantly and she was eager to explain.

Xiao Yi raised his hand to interrupt her. His cold eyes flashed deep, with a bit of laziness and evil charm. He asked casually, "Oh? It seems that Miss Xu is quite dissatisfied with my decision to establish her as the queen?"

"I dare not make any criticism!"

Xu Qingyou was smart enough. She knelt down with a plop, her body shaking like a sieve: "Your Majesty is wise. How dare I go against your will? It is the Empress who is making groundless accusations!"

Shen Bingning tried to stand up with Lu Zhong's help, but suddenly cried out in pain and fell down again, looking extremely helpless: "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I took the position that should have belonged to her. She saw that I was not favored, so she pushed me to vent her anger. It's understandable."

"Not favored?"

Xiao Yi caught this sentence sharply, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who told you this?"

Xu Qingyou's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, please don't believe the rumors. No one has ever dared to be so presumptuous!"

"Your Majesty! All this——"

Lu Zhong finally couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to tell everything, but was stopped by Shen Bingning.

"Luzhong, don't talk nonsense!"

"Miss!"

Lu Zhong's face turned red, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to shut up.

Xiao Yi raised his eyes: "Speak up, reveal your seed."

"Your Majesty, Miss Xu spoke rudely to the Majesty as soon as she saw her, saying that the Majesty was not favored and not worth mentioning, and also said... and also said..."

"You insolent slave! How dare you slander me?"

Xu Qingyou bared his teeth and claws and was about to pounce, but was restrained by the Jinyiwei.

Xiao Yi's face was as gloomy as water:

"Go on."

Lu Zhong mustered up his courage and said indignantly: "They also said that if she enters the harem, there will be no place for the queen!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Qingyou's arrogance suddenly disappeared, and he wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

"It's not like this……"

Xiao Yi approached step by step, his dark eyes flashing with a chilling cold light, his eyes made people shudder: "Xu Qingyou, you are so bold to do this."

"Your Majesty! I am innocent!"

Xu Qingyou still wanted to struggle.

"Someone, throw her out."

Xiao Yi gave the order mercilessly, his tone so cold that no one dared to approach him: "Let her walk back to the palace by herself."

“Oh, don’t, don’t do this! Your Majesty, please spare me!!”

Xu Qingyou's eyes were red, and she reached out to grab Xiao Yi's collar, but was kicked away instead.

The guards lifted her up and she disappeared from sight in an instant.

This scene made Shen Bingning's heart tighten, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

With Xu Qingyou's fragile body, if she walks back to the imperial city, she will be seriously injured if she doesn't die, right?

Before she finished her thought, she felt the cold gaze from above, and hurriedly continued to play the role of weakness, collapsing to the ground: "Thanks to your majesty for being so perceptive and doing justice for me."

Xiao Yi only raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at her weak appearance as she had difficulty getting up, and after a moment he said, "Okay, get up."

Shen Bingning was shocked and realized that her little trick had been seen through.

Under the scorching gazes of the crowd, she had no choice but to brush off the dust on her dress and stand up awkwardly.

"How could your majesty..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yi interrupted her: "With the Queen's ability, how could she not be able to get up after falling down?"

Shen Bingning pursed her lips and groaned inwardly.

I knew that the job of saving heroes was not suitable for a familiar face like me!

How can we strategize now that all the cards have been revealed?

but……

Since Xiao Yi had seen through her disguise, why did he still let her punish Xu Qingyou?

As if he saw through her doubts, Xiao Yi coughed lightly and said, "Xu Qingyou's contempt for the queen is a disdain for the imperial power. She deserves this punishment."

"I see."

Shen Bingning nodded in agreement.

Yes, Xiao Yi doesn't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, so how could he tolerate others being rude in front of him?

"Shen Bingning, as a queen, you should behave like one. It's inappropriate for you to act like this."

Xiao Yi pointed out Shen Bingning's inappropriateness word by word, his face stern: "Go back to the palace and copy the "Female Rules" a hundred times."

“A hundred times?!”

Shen Bingning widened her eyes.

Isn't this just a personal vendetta?

Xiao Yi glanced at him coldly: "You think it's too little?"

Shen Bingning quickly shook her head: "No, just right, just right!"

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, then left surrounded by eunuchs.

Looking at the figure getting farther and farther away, Shen Bingning was a little dazed.

This was the first time Xiao Yi left before her.

Looking back, every time Xiao Yi went out on business, I was always the first to turn around.

What was Xiao Yi's mood at that time when he looked at her back?

The night wind brought the chill of autumn, so Shen Bingning did not stay long and hurried back to the tent to rest.

The next morning, everything was packed up and we took a carriage back to the imperial city.

She remembered the miserable scene when Xu Qingyou ran over with a tired face and knelt down to beg Xiao Yi for forgiveness when the carriage was about to set off.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yi was as hard as iron. He ignored him and left.

The carriage drove a long way away, but Xu Qingyou's crying seemed to still be faintly audible.

Life returned to normal. Fortunately, Xiao Yi kept his word and occasionally invited her to have dinner together, and there was finally some progress.

"Your Majesty, this dish..."

Shen Bingning pointed at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table and was thinking about finding a topic to liven up the atmosphere.

"Queen, it is not appropriate to talk too much while eating."

Xiao Yi said lightly.

"……Yes."

Shen Bingning swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and felt even more suffocated.

Although she could have dinner with Xiao Yi every day, it was fine if he was silent, but she was not allowed to speak. What was the point of getting along like this? The delicious food in front of her suddenly lost its appeal. Shen Bingning waited patiently for the dinner to end. When she saw Xiao Yi getting up and about to leave, she quickly called him, "Your Majesty, please stay."

Xiao Yi stopped and asked, "What else does the Queen want me to do?"

"Yes, and it's very important!"
