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

I really didn't expect them to search so quickly. Shen Bingning immediately looked around, trying to find a place to hide. Unfortunately, although the Baohe Hall was spacious, it was full of precious books and there was no place to hide.

Her eyes fell on the neatly arranged rows of bookshelves in front of her, and Shen Bingning couldn't help but clench her hands into fists.

At this point, all we can do is delay as much as possible.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and several Jinyiwei strode into Baohedian, scanning every corner of the room with sharp eyes.

Shen Bingning hid in the most inconspicuous corner, her body trembling slightly because of nervousness.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and my heart was in my throat.

Seeing that the Jinyiwei were about to approach, Shen Bingning seized the opportunity, and when the Jinyiwei in front of her turned his head to look elsewhere, she used all her strength to push down the bookshelf!

The neatly arranged bookshelves collapsed like a landslide, and all kinds of books fell like raindrops, with loud noises blending into one.

"who?!"

The Jinyiwei retreated hastily, drawing their swords.

Shen Bingning took advantage of this opportunity and rushed out the door quickly, lifting her skirt.

"There! Get her!"

One of the Jinyiwei with a sharp look shouted loudly, and everyone chased after him with swords drawn.

Shen Bingning was extremely panicked and wanted to run faster, but her weak body was no match for the Jinyiwei. As soon as she reached the door, she was surrounded and a sharp sword was pressed against her neck.

When he saw her face clearly, the leading Jinyiwei's expression changed, and he whispered in disbelief:

"It's the former queen?"

Upon seeing this, Shen Bingning immediately frowned and pretended to be dignified and shouted:

"How dare you point a sword at me!"

The Jinyiwei's momentum was greatly reduced, and their tone softened:

"Please spare my life, Madam. I am only following your orders."

"Following orders?"

Shen Bingning sneered and stared at the Jinyiwei who was pointing his sword at her without changing her expression. She was dignified without even getting angry:

"I am Empress Hejia. Even if the Emperor comes, he has to call me sister-in-law! Do you all want my head?"

The Jinyiwei looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, and finally put down their swords, knelt down and saluted:

"Please spare me, Madam! I am sorry for the offense."

Shen Bingning raised her head:

"Since this is your first offense, I won't bother with you. Why don't you get out of here?"

"This……"

The Jinyiwei looked embarrassed and hesitated for a while before whispering:

"I'm afraid... the Emperor has ordered us to bring the Empress back."

"Why, my words are useless now, right?"

Shen Bingning looked around pretending to be angry, her upturned watery eyes full of shock:

"I am the queen, and this is the palace. Even if we really meet, it should be the emperor who visits me!"

The more Shen Bingning spoke, the more confident she became. Her maid's outfit could not conceal her extraordinary aura, nor could it hide her charming face that could bring disaster to the country and the people.

Seeing that the Jinyiwei dared not speak, she asked back in one breath:

"Why, are you afraid that I will run away?"

"Young ones don't dare!"

The Jinyiwei were shocked and no one dared to move forward.

"In that case, go back and tell the emperor that I will wait here and ask him to come in person."

After saying this, Shen Bingning flicked his sleeves and turned around, looking quite handsome.

[Host, are you really going to wait for the male protagonist to come? ]

The system sounded doubtful.

[How is that possible? I am just trying to buy time. Once they leave, I will run away immediately.]

Shen Bingning answered confidently.

【As expected of you. 】

Thinking that the matter was temporarily resolved, Shen Bingning hurried back to the Baohe Hall. As soon as she touched the door lock, she heard a whisper that couldn't be colder -

"I don't know when it will be Queen Hejia's turn to make the decision in the imperial palace."

"oops!"

Looking at the familiar figure not far away, Shen Bingning couldn't help but curse under her breath.

How come he showed up so quickly?

I'm afraid it's really hard to escape this time.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

The Jinyiweis turned pale and fell to their knees.

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes, and swept his sharp gaze over everyone. His handsome face was covered with indifference, and he said in a deep voice:

"A few lies from the Queen have thrown you into disarray. It seems like you don't take me seriously at all. Someone, come here!"

His black eyes slightly raised, and his gaze turned to Shen Bingning who was standing there in a daze. Xiao Yi raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, as if he was deliberately announcing to her, but it was clearly an order:

"Since you can't hear my orders, just cut off your ears and feed them to the dogs."

what? !

Shen Bingning's heart skipped a beat. The coldness in his eyes pierced her heart like a needle, making her whole body numb.

Did she underestimate Xiao Yi's ruthlessness? These Jinyiwei did not touch her at all just because they were concerned about her identity, so she had to suffer such torture?

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Please have mercy!"

The Jinyiweis' cries for mercy kept coming, but Xiao Yi seemed to be deaf to them.

Shen Bingning couldn't bear it, and took a step forward involuntarily, forcing out a bitter smile:

"They are just concerned about my status. Your Majesty... please be more magnanimous."

"Manacratic?"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of mockery and ridicule:

"It's really funny that this comes from the Queen's mouth."

"What do you mean--"

Before Shen Bingning finished speaking, Xiao Yi was already close at hand. His eyes, as cold as the stars in the night sky, locked onto her face tightly. A blush in his eyes, whether it was anger or some other emotion, fell, and his voice was hoarse:

"Queen, have you been too magnanimous to me?"

His words were just soft enough for her to hear. Shen Bingning was about to plead for the Jinyiwei when the words got stuck in her throat. From those angry eyes, she read surging, endless hatred.

A trace of regret suddenly flashed through my mind.

If I had known this would happen, I should have shown mercy.

Xiao Yi has now gone through so much setbacks and pain that his psychology has probably been distorted.

With so many words stuck in her chest, Shen Bingning sighed resignedly and lowered her head:

"It's my fault."

Xiao Yi did not respond.

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Bingning carefully pleaded for the Jinyiwei:

"But they have been with the Emperor for many years. I hope the Emperor will be lenient with them."

Xiao Yi's low laughter came from above.

"On what basis are you pleading for them now?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Bingning's heart tightened.

"It's because of Shen Bingning's identity as the person Xiao Yi once cared about the most and was the most important person..."

Xiao Yi paused here, raised his eyelids lazily, and looked at her meaningfully:

"Or as the widow of the late Emperor Xiao Qian, and the current Empress He Jia?"

Shen Bingning forced a smile and said in a flattering tone: "Your Majesty, you are such a joker. The late emperor has passed away, and the past is gone with the wind. I, Shen Bingning, only ask for your forgiveness now."

She knew in her heart that if she used her status as queen to pressure him, it would only add fuel to the fire and make Xiao Yi even angrier.

Let's just coax him first.

"Really?" Xiao Yi was not one to be perfunctorily treated. He tilted his head slightly and asked leisurely, "Sister, do you still remember how you treated me every time we met again after a short separation?"
