Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 35 Bathing, Feigning Illness

Song Yi immediately realized Jiang Lanye's intention.

He did indeed become suspicious and wanted to take this opportunity to see if she had that red mole on her side.

Now, if she shows any reluctance, it will likely provoke Jiang Lanye.

So Song Yi took the initiative to hook her arms around his neck and whispered, "Okay."

Jiang Lanye then put her down, and once she was steady, he reached out and took out the book she had just tried to touch.

"Strange Tales of the Odd Jobs"

He read the book's title softly.

"But these are just books for children, compiled by many people. Why would you want to read this?"

Song Yi glanced at it and, realizing it wasn't the book she was looking for, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just like reading things about gods and ghosts; they're very exciting."

The books placed on the high shelf were almost all books that Jiang Lanye rarely read.

He scoffed, "Aren't you scared?"

Who was the person who placed a circle of candles in Linfang Palace to ward off evil spirits?

Song Yi: "."

She feigned annoyance, gave Jiang Lanye a light glare, snatched the book from his hand, and muttered, "Being afraid is one thing, wanting to read is another."

Jiang Lanye watched her slowly sit down at the large table, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he suddenly remembered the time he and Consort Yun spent together here in the past.

At that time, he liked to sit quietly at the table reading a book by himself. Consort Yun would stand on tiptoe on the table, swinging her legs idly. Seeing Jiang Lanye's meticulous appearance, she suddenly leaned to the side and snatched his book away.

Jiang Lanye looked up at her and saw her pat the table, wink mischievously, and say, "Your Majesty, stop reading. This table is so big, let's do something fun."

Jiang Lanye knew without even thinking what the funny things she mentioned were.

He said seriously, "No, you said your back hurt when you woke up this morning."

"Your Majesty, would you like to read a book as well?"

Song Yi's voice brought him back to his senses.

The figure in my memory slowly disappeared.

Jiang Lanye pursed his lips and said, "You read, I'm listening."

Seeing this, Song Yi stood up with the book in her hand and simply sat down on the table, gesturing for Jiang Lanye to sit in the chair.

Jiang Lanye sat down and looked up at Song Yi.

Same location.

The people are different now.

Song Yi cleared her throat. Her knee hadn't fully healed, so she naturally didn't dare to swing her leg carelessly. She just read it out carefully.

To her surprise, the book also contained stories about time travel.

However, the choice of words and phrases clearly indicates that it's meant to fool children.

The more Jiang Lanye listened, the more serious his expression became.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"You don't actually believe what's in this book, do you?"

Jiang Lanye suddenly asked in a cold voice, "I ask you, if there is someone who is always by your side, but suddenly one day she disappears without a trace, vanishing without a trace, neither alive nor dead, tell me, why would that be?"

Song Yi repeated earnestly, "Neither alive nor dead, Your Majesty, are you saying that the person, like those described in this book, traveled to another dynasty?"

Jiang Lanye gave a faint "hmm".

Song Yi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, how could such a thing happen in this world? Perhaps that person disguised himself and secretly left you, but you didn't notice. By the time you noticed and wanted to find him again, you couldn't find him."

Jiang Lanye placed his hand on the table, his knuckles curled, tapping the surface repeatedly.

“I had wondered before if she had disguised herself as a palace maid and left the palace under the cover of night without being noticed by the guards at the palace gates.” “So I killed them all.”

His tone was calm, but when he said those words, a chilling aura emanated from him.

Song Yi nearly dropped the book in his hand.

As she spent more time with him, she almost forgot that Jiang Lanye was not only an unapproachable iceberg, but also a ruthless tyrant who killed without blinking an eye.

Song Yi never imagined that her escape would implicate so many innocent people.

Jiang Lanye's obsession runs too deep. If Consort Yun reappears, will he lose control and kill her to vent his anger?
Song Yi shuddered and quickly said, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about that now, I'm scared."

Her voice was soft and sweet. Jiang Lanye glanced at her and said, "I feel that your voice is different from the one in the Laundry Department."

Song Yi explained, "At that time, I caught a cold, and my voice was hoarse. Now it's natural."

Jiang Lanye let out a deep breath and murmured, "You're becoming more and more like her."

Song Yi felt it was too dangerous to continue chatting like this, so she quickly jumped down.

Then, she let out a soft cry of pain.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Lanye immediately stood up, frowning as he said, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, what are you planning to do now?"

Song Yi felt somewhat aggrieved and said, "I felt that Your Majesty was in a bad mood, so I wanted to divert Your Majesty's attention."

Jiang Lanye remained silent for a long time before saying, "Idiot."

Having his thoughts interrupted, Jiang Lanye said nothing more and left the study with her.

into the night.

Song Yi rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

She absolutely cannot take a bath tonight. If Jiang Lanye rushes in like a madman, pulls her out of the hot water, and sees the red mole on her side, then everything will be exposed.

Jiang Lanye had just closed the memorial when he glanced at her and said, "Go take a bath."

Knowing that the time was almost up, Song Yi suddenly sneezed, her eyes reddening, and said, "Your Majesty, I feel so unwell, have I caught a cold?"

Jiang Lanye paused, watching her lazily slump on the table, touching her forehead, looking weak and powerless.

"Your Majesty, I am really in pain. Please feel my body."

Jiang Lanye seemed helpless, got up and walked over, gently touching her forehead.

"Let's call a royal physician."

Song Yi blinked and said okay.

When the imperial physician arrived, Song Yi deliberately muttered to him, "But it's so strange. I don't feel any heat on my forehead, but I just feel uncomfortable and can't quite put my finger on it. The imperial physician is highly skilled, so I'm sure he can figure out what's wrong."

Jiang Lanye's clear voice rang out from the side: "If they can't diagnose the problem, what use are they to me?"

The imperial physician shuddered. Upon seeing that it was Consort Song again, he said with a bitter face, "Greetings, Your Majesty, greetings, Consort Song."

Song Yi proactively extended his hand and said to him, "Imperial Physician, please take a look. I was feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded just now; I think I caught a chill."

The imperial physician, trembling, took her pulse.

The pulse is strong and steady, so there's nothing wrong.

But Song Yi then pretended to cough twice.

The imperial physician felt sweating profusely. After thinking for a moment, he followed her words and said, "Your Highness has caught a chill, but it's nothing serious. I'll prescribe a medicine for you, and you'll be fine after two days."

Anyway, the medicine he prescribes won't do any harm to people.

Song Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician."

Then, feigning regret, she said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't take a bath today. I feel cold all over. I hope Your Majesty won't mind later?"
