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

His eyes were clear, and for an instant, Shen Bingning seemed to have traveled back to three years ago, when Xiao Yi was still a bright and cheerful young man.

How could she forget that whenever Xiao Yi came back from a long journey, no matter the weather, she was always the first one to rush to the door, hug him tightly and welcome him home.

Did he want the same hug?

Shen Bingning glanced around. The Jinyiwei were lined up on both sides. Although they lowered their heads, their curious eyes drifted over here from time to time.

In this case… is this appropriate?

The pressure increased sharply.

Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Yi waved his hand unhappily: "The Queen may have forgotten. In that case, come here——"

"I haven't forgotten!" Shen Bingning interrupted hurriedly. Regardless of the strange looks from others, she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk up to Xiao Yi.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the young man who had happily thrown himself into her arms back then. He has now transformed into an emperor above all others, majestic and intimidating.

After an inner struggle, Shen Bingning stretched out her hands with difficulty and gently embraced Xiao Yi as she had done countless times in the past.

But his body has become stronger and no longer as thin as before, which makes her look even more petite and dependent.

She felt his body stiffen slightly and thought he was rejecting her so she tried to break free, but unexpectedly an irresistible force held her tightly, making her unable to move.

His chest was unusually broad, and her could feel its solidity through his clothes. The strength of his arms around her seemed to melt into her bones.

The feeling of suffocation surged over her. Shen Bingning patted Xiao Yi's back and gasped, "Xiao, Xiao Yi!"

Xiao Yi seemed to wake up from a dream and suddenly let go of her hand. The air rushed in, giving her a chance to breathe.

"The Queen's acting skills are indeed amazing."

After his cold words fell, Shen Bingning looked up in surprise. Xiao Yi's face was once again covered with the cold mask of imperial power, and the tenderness just now seemed like an illusion.

Xiao Yi slowly reached out his hand, and stroked her cheek with his cold fingers, delicately and coldly:

"What a pity! My sister...died on that night three years ago."

Shen Bingning's pupils constricted.

"Someone, take this garbage away!"

Xiao Yi withdrew his hand, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Cut off both ears."

"Xiao Yi! You!" Shen Bingning was angry but helpless. She had nothing at the moment and could only watch the Jinyiwei being taken away with a pale face.

No matter how much I want to redeem myself, it's too late.

"How long does the Queen intend to stand here?"

Xiao Yi's voice was like a sudden gust of wind, blowing away her scattered thoughts:

"It's been so long since we last met, don't you want to have a good chat with me?"

Shen Bingning's face darkened. She knew that this was not a discussion at all, but an order that could not be questioned.

And so, she was forced to return to the Palace of Eternal Night.

This is Xiao Yi's territory.

Looking around, Shen Bingning only felt a deep darkness, just like Xiao Yi himself, elusive. The darkness seemed to be woven into a net, making her feel stuffy in her chest.

"Please take a seat."

Xiao Yi sat down first and pushed the full teacups on the table towards her. There were five in total, neatly arranged.

Shen Bingning sat down cautiously, her eyes fixed on the tea in front of her. She became inexplicably nervous, and forced a smile, and asked:

"You don't want to play a five-choice game, do you?"

To put it simply, choose one from five means that one of the five teacups is poisonous, so choose the non-toxic one and drink it. The rest depends entirely on luck.

After hearing this, Xiao Yi did not answer. His eyes narrowed, revealing a sharp look:

"Pick one."

"..."

Shen Bingning took a breath.

Does this guy really want to attack her?

Her eyes wandered between the five cups. There was no difference in appearance or smell. It was almost an impossible task to accurately choose the safe one!

[System, can you tell which one is not poisonous? ]

[Master, I am just a system, not a god. ]

[I cannot obtain information beyond the original work. ]

【oops! 】

Shen Bingning was so anxious. The plot was messed up and all functions were ineffective. What was the difference between this and taking risks alone?

Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Yi smiled and tapped the table with his fingertips, as if to indicate that he was anxious:

"If you don't want to choose, how about I do it for you?"

Shen Bingning forced herself to maintain a smile:

"I'm not thirsty yet, how about we talk about it later?"

"I'm afraid time waits for no one."

Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a cold edge flashed across them:

"Sister should know that I am very busy."

"..."

Shen Bingning swallowed nervously, her hand hesitating in the air, and finally, under his invisible pressure, she tremblingly grabbed the cup on the far left, while secretly glancing at Xiao Yi.

The smile on his face seemed to deepen.

Hey!

Shen Bingning quickly put down the one on the left and reached for the one on the right...

She kept switching like this, but no matter which one she chose, Xiao Yi's expression was as unpredictable as ever, as if he was expecting a good show.

Seeing that she had been hesitating for a long time without making a decision, Xiao Yi's patience was finally exhausted.

Just when Shen Bingning finally reached for the cup in the middle, he suddenly grabbed her slender wrist.

"Xiao Yi?"

Shen Bingning opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Let me help you make the choice."

Xiao Yi sneered, snatched the teacup from her hand without saying a word, and brought it to her red lips.

The cold rim of the cup touched her lips, and Shen Bingning instinctively closed her lips tightly, fearing that a trace of tea would get on them.

A dangerous light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes:

"Why, sister, don't you want to drink?"

Who dares to drink?!

Shen Bingning screamed in her heart and was about to turn her head away, but he pinched her chin tightly with such force that she had to open her mouth.

She struggled to break free, but the hand was as firm as an iron clamp and did not move at all.

The tea slowly approaches the lips.

Do not!

No!

Shen Bingning closed her eyes in pain.

"His Majesty!"

There was a sudden call from outside the door.

The teacup in her hand paused slightly. Taking advantage of the sudden interruption, Shen Bingning quickly broke free from the restraint and coughed awkwardly, trying to get rid of the tea in her mouth.

Xiao Yi's beautiful eyebrows twisted together in displeasure:

"what's up?"

"The news of the return of the late queen is spreading all over the city. Everyone is very curious and wants to see Queen Hejia in person."

"Oh?"

Xiao Yi glanced at her pale face thoughtfully, as if he had guessed something, and said lightly:

"Understood, you go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The footsteps outside the door hurried away. Shen Bingning just breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt a shadow in front of her eyes. She looked up and saw Xiao Yi approaching her with an irresistible momentum.

"What do you want to do?"

Her voice was slightly hoarse.

"You sent someone to spread the news so quickly."

Xiao Yi reached out and gently tucked the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears, his eyes deep:

"My sister is really smart."

Shen Bingning calmed herself down, pretended to be confused, blinked her eyes, and said in a puzzled manner:

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? I am a little confused."

"Sister has been away from the palace for three years, so she may not know..."

Xiao Yi stretched out the last syllable of his voice, his words full of invisible threats:
