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

But it was my inconsideration to make His Majesty worry about me."

The two smiled at each other, and all the misunderstandings and anxieties disappeared in an instant.

In the setting sun, their shadows were stretched very long, as if silently telling us that no matter how the world changes, the friendship of knowing each other and staying together will always remain steadfast.

Shen Bingning stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck as far as she could, and looked past the crowd of people to the distant place.

There, a group of people were wearing uniform gorgeous armor, and the dragon patterns outlined by gold lines sparkled in the sun, revealing the unique dignity and majesty of the Royal Guard.

This sudden scene made people feel surprised and uneasy.

Is there an emergency in the palace?

Shen Bingning was filled with doubts as she watched the crowd hurrying around, seeming to be eagerly searching for something in the vast crowd.

The identity and purpose of the target being pursued by such an elite force must be very important and are definitely not something that ordinary people could get involved in.

Just as she was lost in thought, an officer at the front of the team slowly unfolded a scroll, which was a finely detailed portrait.

Although Shen Bingning was far away, the outline of the person in the painting seemed familiar to her inexplicably. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was the image of a woman.

An absurd thought flashed through her mind - could it be that they were looking for me? But the thought was fleeting and she smiled self-deprecatingly.

how can that be possible?

With her current identity and status, how could it be worthy for the high and mighty Xiao Yi to lead a large army and go to great lengths to search for her?

What's more, she had quietly left the palace only a few hours ago, and even the dinner bell had not rung yet. According to convention, Xiao Yi should be immersed in the documents in the study at this time, instead of sending troops to search everywhere.

Just as she was secretly speculating, as if by telepathy, the leading soldier suddenly raised his head, his sharp eyes piercing through the crowd and locking directly on Shen Bingning's fresh and refined face.

He waved his hand violently and shouted loudly:

"There! Quick, take her down for me!"

This order was like a bolt from the blue. Countless eyes instantly focused on Shen Bingning. The sense of oppression was like a substance that almost solidified the air.

The soldiers seemed to have received a silent command and rushed in like a tide, with clear goals and fierce momentum.

"Oh my God……"

Shen Bingning's heart tightened and her heart beat like a drum. Faced with this sudden change, even she was a little at a loss.

what on earth is it?

Could it be that they were really hunting me?

Without time to think, her instinct for survival drove her to turn around and run.

Fortunately, she was dressed simply today, and the light dress hardly posed a hindrance while she was running. She moved flexibly among the crowd, looking for a gap to escape while quickly analyzing the reasons behind it in her mind.

Apart from the mysterious Shangguan Yi, only Xiao Yi had the authority to mobilize such a large force.

Shangguan Yi obviously had no reason to attack her for no reason, so the only explanation was...

Xiao Yi noticed her leaving.

But even if she left the palace without permission, it wouldn't cause such a big commotion, right?

Deep in her heart, a faint voice was asking: Am I really that important?

Just as she was filled with confusion, the calm voice of the system sounded in her mind: "Host, it seems that the male protagonist has a lot of opinions about you."

"This is all thanks to your 'wonderful' mission!"

Shen Bingning retorted helplessly in her heart.

The more he thought about it, the more complicated the matter seemed. Xiao Yi's actions didn't seem like he was looking for a missing queen, but more like he was hunting down a serious criminal.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

With Xiao Yi's suspicious and sensitive personality, he naturally wouldn't believe that she was just going there to pray. He must have suspected that she had other intentions, or even thought that she posed some kind of threat, which was why he reacted so violently.

Oh no, how can I explain this to him?

Shen Bingning was filled with remorse. She didn't expect that Xiao Yi, whom she rarely saw on weekdays, would come to her on the day when she sneaked out of the palace.

Fortunately, she and Song Yu separated in time, otherwise, if they were discovered by these soldiers, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Host, they are about to catch up."

The system's reminder interrupted her thoughts, and the pursuers in front of her were already close at hand.

Shen Bingning quickly came back to her senses from her panic. Although she was not clear about Xiao Yi's specific instructions, the most important thing at the moment was to escape from the pursuit.

Knowing that her physical strength was limited and it would be difficult for her to compete head-on with the well-trained soldiers, she suddenly had an idea and quickly fumbled in her pockets. In addition to some small change, she also found a copper coin.

She took a deep breath, looked at the crowded crowd around her, and decisively threw the copper coins in her hand backwards, while shouting with all her might: "Windfall!!!"

The crowd was excited at the noise, and the originally orderly street suddenly became chaotic.

People stopped and looked down for the copper coins on the ground, and the sound of scrambling was endless.

Even the beggars who usually hid in the corners seemed to have received a gift from God. They rushed forward desperately, hoping to get a share of the pie.

The streets were suddenly jammed with people, and not even a breeze could get through.

The army, which was originally so aggressive, was also blocked by the sudden chaos. The leading soldier shouted anxiously: "Get out of the way! The army is carrying out its mission!"

However, his voice was soon drowned out by the noisy voices.

But he obviously underestimated people's almost crazy desire for money. Not only did the crowd not disperse because of the chaos, but more and more people rushed in like iron filings attracted by a magnet, and the situation became increasingly out of control.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Shen Bingning turned around quickly like a cunning fox and nimbly turned into a narrow and deep alley nearby.

The alley was dark, with only a few faint rays of light filtering through the gaps above, adding a sense of mystery and uncertainty to her escape route.

I don't know how long I ran in this winding alley. The noise around me gradually faded away, replaced by the occasional cat calls and the noise of the distant city.

Shen Bingning finally reached her physical limit and had to stop with staggering steps. She leaned against the mottled wall, gasping for breath, her chest heaving, as if she had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.

"Master, you will have to go back to the palace to face the male protagonist sooner or later anyway, so why not just let them capture him back to save time and effort?" The system's voice sounded in Shen Bingning's mind with a hint of curiosity and confusion.

"What do you know? There's a huge difference between going back on your own initiative and being tied up and taken back!" Shen Bingning retorted unhappily, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
