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

Chapter 94 Leaving the Palace with Him
"What did you say?"

His voice was soft.

Song Yi trembled involuntarily, swallowed hard, and whispered, "Jiang Lanye, why should I wait for you here?"

She was initially terrified, but as she spoke, she felt increasingly aggrieved, and her voice involuntarily grew louder.

"What if you never come back? I'll keep your promise and wait for you in this imperial palace for the rest of my life?"

"You don't want me to suffer, you don't want me to go with you, so do you expect me to just stand by and watch you put yourself in danger?"

Jiang Lanye pursed his lips, about to speak.

Song Yi interrupted him again.

"Let me tell you, Jiang Lanye, even if I can't go back, I will never obediently wait for you like this."

"Maybe by the time you come back, I'll already have two kids!"

The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Lanye's composure snapped, and he was instantly enveloped in a chilling aura, as if snow were falling in the dead of winter.

Oh no, I think I went too far with the excitement.

"Song Yi".

He called out softly, with a half-smile, "You're really something."

Since things had already come to this point, she had to strike while the iron was hot and quickly said, "So, you must take me with you."

Jiang Lanye remained silent for a long time, gazing into her stubborn eyes, and said, "Okay."

Upon hearing his reply, Song Yi perked up and said, "You should have said you'd take me with you earlier."

"When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

He said in a cold voice.

Seeing that Jiang Lanye was truly angry with her, Song Yi quickly moved closer to him hesitantly, tugging at his sleeve and saying, "Don't be angry. As long as you take me with you, I won't leave."

Jiang Lanye looked at her, finally sighed helplessly, and raised his hand to pat her head.

"I did not think things through before. If I were to leave you here like this, it would be too much for you."

Song Yi nodded repeatedly, agreeing wholeheartedly: "Yes, I really can endure hardship, and you've been by my side the whole way, so nothing will happen."

"By the way, is there anything I need to organize?"

After saying that, she turned around to pack her clothes.

Jiang Lanye suddenly grabbed her arm, pulled her into his arms, and then held her tightly.

"What. What's wrong?"

He hunched over, rested his chin on Song Yi's shoulder, and whispered, "Song Yi, if something really happens to you, what do you want me to do?"

His voice was somber, sounding like he was feeling depressed.

She raised her hand and gently hugged Jiang Lanye back.

"I'll be fine. I'm smart, quick-witted, perceptive, and decisive."

She began to list her strengths.

Jiang Lanye couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Song Yi pushed him away and glared at him: "What do you mean by this? Do you think I'm not smart?"

"very smart."

Then he added, "Have the palace maids pack your clothes. It's already late autumn, and we'll most likely be spending the winter there, so bring plenty of warm clothes."

"I know." She nodded repeatedly, and after a while, she said, "Then can I pick out some jeweled rouge or something?"

"When I get there, I need to dress up nicely so I can be in a good mood."

After saying that, she pulled Jiang Lanye to the dressing table and opened the dressing case and several wooden boxes.

Seeing that she had been picking and choosing for a long time and couldn't decide, Jiang Lanye immediately said, "Take them all."

Song Yi quickly said, "That's not necessary. This trip isn't about sightseeing, so we should travel light. I'll just pick two or three."

Seeing this, Jiang Lanye picked out the peach blossom-shaped beaded flower that she particularly liked and said, "I'll take this with me."

Then, she casually picked out some hairpins and similar items, carefully placed them in the small wooden box, and locked it.

When the Imperial Household Department learned of this, they prepared many new winter clothes. The palace maids folded the clothes one by one, put them in a large wooden box, and first loaded them onto the carriage.

Song Yi was worried about Jiang Lanye, always fearing that he was lying to her.

She insisted on personally watching as those people carried all her clothes upstairs before she was willing to return to the Golden Palace.

She prepared the clothes she would wear the next day and placed them on the low couch in advance.

It was a plain-colored dress with a slightly fitted skirt and a well-defined waistline. She tried it on and found it exceptionally comfortable.

The emperor's travels are major events, especially to such a dangerous place. There is no guarantee when he will return. The entire palace is busy preparing for this.

Upon learning of this, the concubines hesitated before coming together, wanting to see Jiang Lanye one more time.

However, when they arrived, they saw that Song Yi was also busy packing her things and tidying up the carriage with the palace maids. Only then did they belatedly realize that Consort Yun would also be going along.

into the night.

Song Yizai took a thorough bath for an hour. When she came out, she found that the pads of her fingers were wrinkled from being soaked in water. She showed them to Jiang Lanye.

Jiang Lanye had been busy all day and only now had time to lean back on the dragon bed. Looking helplessly at Song Yi's hands, he said, "You've been washing for too long."

"Because I'm afraid there won't be the right conditions when I get there."

"It may be a bit tough, but at least there's a place for you to take a bath."

Hearing Jiang Lanye say this, Song Yi was finally relieved.

She smelled exceptionally sweet, her skin was smooth and silky, and she wore a silk nightgown. The fabric flowed smoothly and slipped slightly with her restless movements, revealing a slender collarbone.

Jiang Lanye couldn't help but take a few more glances before reaching out to help her lift her clothes, saying, "Go to bed early tonight, we have to leave before dawn tomorrow."

Although Jiang Lanye kept emphasizing to her that the journey would be exceptionally difficult, Song Yi had never left the palace since she transmigrated to this world. Therefore, she was both afraid and excited about tomorrow's journey. And now, she was obviously too excited to sleep.

She lay on the couch, her legs slightly raised, her hands supporting her cheeks, her fair feet swinging restlessly in the air.

Are you going to sleep or not?

Jiang Lanye spoke helplessly.

Upon hearing his words, Song Yi couldn't help but roll around on the couch twice, saying, "I can't sleep, I can't sleep. I'm so excited, just thinking about leaving the palace tomorrow."

Jiang Lanye listened to her speak while keeping a close eye on her, afraid that she might suddenly fall down.

Seeing that she was full of energy and truly not sleepy at all, Jiang Lanye had no choice but to lean over, stretch out his long arm, and pull her back from the edge of the bed.

"Behave yourself and go to sleep."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed her fidgeting feet, while his other hand suddenly began to untie the belt around her waist.

"If you're not sleepy, then don't waste this time, do something else."

An alarm bell rang in Song Yi's mind immediately. She quickly lay down and pulled the blanket over her head.

Jiang Lanye immediately pulled away and whispered his instructions:
"Tomorrow, no matter what others say, do not speak carelessly, do not argue with others, and do not quarrel with others."
