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

Lu Zhong thought about it and decided to send the pastries to the Imperial Medical Bureau, hoping to bring some comfort to the busy doctors.

"Doctor Zhang! Doctor Zhang!"

Lu Zhong's voice rang out in the corridor of the Imperial Hospital, with a hint of urgency.

Doctor Zhang, who was on night duty, looked up from the pile of medical books and responded with surprise: "Oh, isn't this Miss Luzhong? What's the matter with the emperor?"

Lu Zhong waved his hand quickly and gently placed the cakes on the table: "Nothing, I just made some snacks. If you don't mind, please try them."

Doctor Zhang smiled gently when he heard this: "Then I won't be polite."

Just as he was worrying about the hunger brought by the night shift, Doctor Zhang almost trotted forward. His hands, which usually held a scalpel, now impatiently grabbed a piece of pastry and devoured it.

The pastry melted in his mouth, and the sweetness spread in his mouth like spring water. The crumbs slipped from the corners of his mouth inadvertently. He squinted his eyes in satisfaction, and a childlike happy smile spread on his face.

"Delicious! This cooking skill is truly amazing!"

Doctor Zhang exclaimed with a hint of intoxication in his voice.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong's lips curved into a gentle arc, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if hiding an unknown secret. "I'm glad you like it. I won't disturb Doctor Zhang's rest. I'll go back first."

"Wait!"

Doctor Zhang, who was immersed in the happiness brought by the cakes, suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly swallowed the cakes in his mouth. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked anxiously, "The emperor's wound has split, but he told me to deal with it later. What's the reason?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhong's smile widened. She pretended to be mysterious and shook her head gently, "The emperor's thoughts are beyond the comprehension of us mortals. You just need to do your duty well."

The first rays of sunlight shone through the window lattice and gently brushed the edge of Shen Bingning's bed.

She frowned, as if waking up from a hazy dream, and her consciousness gradually became clear.

It was already daybreak, the bed was empty, and Xiao Yi was long gone. "You left without even telling me..."

Shen Bingning complained in a low voice, with a hint of anger and helplessness in her voice.

She slowly stood up and felt her bones creaking all over, as if every inch of her body had been invaded by fatigue and unbearable pain overnight.

"Show your seed! Come and rub it for me!"

She couldn't help but moan softly. Xiaolu outside the door heard the sound and came over in a hurry, kneading her waist and back skillfully.

Shen Bingning lay on the bed, feeling the warmth and strength of Xiaolu's hands, and actually felt a bit comforted in her heart.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yi stayed here last night, his scent seemed to still linger on the bedding, a faint cedar scent that was unexpectedly soothing.

"System, when did Shen Wei leave?"

She asked silently in her heart, with a barely perceptible concern in her tone.

"He set out at dawn. You were sleeping as soundly as a piglet in winter."

The system's voice sounded in her mind. The second half of the sentence made Shen Bingning roll her eyes in her heart, but then she asked again:

"Did he do anything before he left?"

She secretly expected that, just like the plot in those romantic novels, the hero would always leave a gentle kiss on the heroine while she was sleeping.

"have."

Shen Bingning was delighted by the system's brief answer, and she quickly asked:

"What did you do?"

"It took a lot of effort to wake you up from your sleepy little pig."

Shen Bingning was speechless for a moment, feeling mixed emotions.

Fortunately, Xiaolu's massage skills are really superb. After some treatment, she felt that the aches and pains all over her body were relieved a lot.

After a simple wash and dressing, Shen Bingning sat at the table to enjoy breakfast. Before she even sat down, a maid came running over.

Shen Bingning nonchalantly scooped up a spoonful of porridge and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Miss Xu requests an audience."

"Xu Qingyou?"

Shen Bingning was secretly surprised. This was a little unexpected.

She tasted the exquisite dishes on the table slowly and then calmly ordered: "Please ask her to come in."

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, a bright color appeared at the corner. Xu Qingyou was wearing a gorgeous green skirt embroidered with gold thread. The hem of the skirt swayed gently with her steps, like the shimmering surface of a lake, or like a winding snake.

The flowers on her skirt were gorgeous and dazzling, making her look radiant.

Seeing Shen Bingning, who was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, Xu Qingyou first gave her a disdainful sneer, and then reluctantly bowed: "I, a commoner, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Stand up, Miss Xu is here to visit the palace today, what is the important matter?"

Shen Bingning didn't want to deal with her too much. After all, in the story setting, Xu Qingyou was just a superficial villain.

Although the last incident happened suddenly, when I think about it carefully afterwards, Xu Qingyou was always the enemy of the heroine in the original plot, asking for trouble, and finally ended up in tragedy.

Xu Qingyou smiled and said coquettishly, "I heard that the emperor was in poor health, so I brought a thousand-year-old ginseng to visit him and pay my respects to the queen."

Shen Bingning raised her eyebrows, her eyes wandering over Xu Qingyou's extremely luxurious outfit. Wearing almost all the jewels on her body, she looked like a peacock showing off its feathers.

"Oh? The emperor is discussing state affairs with his ministers and may not be able to spare the time. Leave your gift to me."

Shen Bingning knew the situation clearly, but she didn't point it out and responded in a flat tone.

Xu Qingyou's smile froze slightly, and she quickly changed her words: "I dare not trouble you, Your Majesty. I have plenty of time and can wait. I can also chat with you about family matters."

"Then you wait here."

Shen Bingning shrugged indifferently, stood up, and said with a bit of impatience, "You have nothing to do, but I have many things to do, so I'll go ahead."

How could she not see Xu Qingyou's intention? She came to visit the emperor specially, but did not wait at Xiao Yi's place. Instead, she came to show off to her. She was either looking for trouble or had ulterior motives.

Shen Bingning had no intention of getting entangled with it.

Xu Qingyou was immediately flustered when she saw this, and shouted anxiously: "Empress! Where are you going?"

Shen Bingning turned around, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why, Miss Xu, are you going to interfere with my whereabouts?"

Xu Qingyou's face froze. Facing the pressure from the word "empress", she could only suppress her dissatisfaction. She clenched her teeth and said in a muffled voice, "I dare not! It's just that waiting alone is too boring, so I want to chat with the queen to relieve my boredom."

"Oh? It seems that the emperor's teachings really worked."

Shen Bingning said sarcastically, "You used to be so restrained in front of me, but now you have learned to abide by the rules."

When Xu Qingyou heard this, the memory of himself fleeing alone from that horrible place immediately emerged in his mind. The humiliation and pain he felt are still vivid in his mind.
