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

Chapter 99 Changing clothes in front of him

Zuo Sheng's expression suddenly changed; he hadn't expected Song Yi to still treat him this way.

Jiang Lanye had no intention of disciplining her. Noticing that the wind had blown a weed onto her hair, he gently reached out and removed it for her.

"It's windy outside. Once you've finished eating, go back to the carriage and sit down."

Song Yi looked at Zuo Sheng triumphantly, but when she noticed that Zuo Sheng's face was terribly gloomy, she quickly moved closer to Jiang Lanye.

He glared at me.

Jiang Lanye glanced at him and said, "Turn around first."

Jiang Lanye knew that he had come to tell him something important.

Zuo Sheng gritted his teeth, not wanting to argue with Song Yi, and actually turned around.

Jiang Lanye said, "Take the snacks and go find Eunuch Cao. Be good and don't run around."

"I know."

She stood up, then deliberately clenched her fist as if to hit Zuo Sheng. Taking advantage of his inattention, she made a show of force and then left.

Having sat in the carriage for too long, her legs were aching. Holding the snacks, she strolled over, patted Eunuch Cao on the shoulder, and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Startled, Eunuch Cao shrugged and dropped the food in his hand.

Seeing this, Song Yi chuckled awkwardly and said, "Well, I didn't mean to."

Eunuch Cao was on the verge of tears, and turned to look at her, his face filled with despair.

This journey has been tiring enough.

Your Majesty, Consort Yun is only obedient in front of you, like a kitten with its claws tucked in, but she is not like that in front of this servant!
He cried out silently in his heart.

Song Yi gave him all the snacks, saying, "You eat them, I'm full."

Eunuch Cao immediately beamed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing that Eunuch Cao was extremely hungry, Song Yi stopped talking to him and strolled over to the soldiers. He casually picked a blade of grass from the roadside and waved it around in his hand.

"Won't you miss home on your journey?"

The group was somewhat reserved, unsure of how to interact with this imperial concubine.

They stood up abruptly and said in high spirits, "We've only just left, so we don't want to think about it yet."

Song Yi quickly waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down.

"It's such a long journey, and who knows how long we'll stay over there. When we come home, our families will definitely throw a welcome-back party for us, with plenty of wine and meat."

Her intention was to cheer these people up, since the future was still full of promise.

But as soon as he finished speaking, one person's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

Upon seeing this, Song Yi realized something was amiss and quickly said, "No, what I meant was..."

She scratched her head, looking somewhat lost.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Lanye and found that Zuo Sheng was talking to Jiang Lanye with a serious expression, while Jiang Lanye sat casually with an expressionless face.

Song Yi quickly got up and left.

She walked back and forth, swaying the foxtail grass, and saw that Zuo Sheng was still talking non-stop. After thinking for a moment, she decided to go over and quietly stand behind Jiang Lanye. Ignoring Zuo Sheng's dark face, she gently rubbed the tip of his ear with the foxtail grass.

Jiang Lanye didn't even need to turn around. He raised his arm, precisely grabbed Song Yi's hand, pulled her to his side, and asked gently, "Did you get into trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yi nearly exploded.

"How could that be? I just walked a few steps to the side."

Jiang Lanye chuckled softly.

Seeing that he was in a fairly good mood, Song Yi deliberately teased him with foxtail grass.

Seeing that Song Yi was going on and on, Zuo Sheng's face turned ashen, and he reminded her:
"Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Jiang Lanye said calmly, "Continue, I'm listening."

Even with Song Yi constantly making a ruckus beside him, he can remain focused.

"Further ahead, we'll reach the Guanzhong region, surrounded by mountains on all sides. It's an excellent place to defend and difficult to attack. Why don't we set up camp there first? This way, we'll not only be safe, but also not far from the Northern Qiang."

Song Yi yawned.

She leaned lazily against Jiang Lanye's shoulder, the foxtail grass in her hand completely broken and drooping listlessly. Jiang Lanye looked down at her and softly instructed her:

"It will be cold at night, and you'll feel cold wearing only this dress. You'll need to change into something else."

Zuo Sheng: "."

"understood."

Zuo Sheng quickened his pace and finally finished speaking before hurriedly leaving.

Song Yi looked at him and asked, "Jiang Lanye, did you really listen to what he said?"

"Ah."

"Ok."

Jiang Lanye noticed that the pastry in her hand was gone, and became somewhat suspicious:
"You ate it all?"

"No, I accidentally dropped Eunuch Cao's food, so I gave him mine."

Jiang Lanye hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "So you didn't cause any trouble?"

"Eunuch Cao has already forgiven me, so why are you saying that I caused trouble?"

Jiang Lanye's face remained expressionless.

"Fine, you're always right."

Song Yi stood up again and pulled Jiang Lanye up as well, saying, "Let's take a walk, go play in the grove, don't just sit there all the time, we'll have to sit when we get in the carriage later."

Seeing that Jiang Lanye simply stood up obediently, but did not understand what she meant.

Song Yi couldn't help but laugh, tilting his head back with a sly smile.

"Don't you know what 'going to play in the woods' means?"

Jiang Lanye lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly, then said softly, "I don't know. Tell me."

"I won't tell."

Jiang Lanye turned his head and looked at the quiet grove of trees not far away, lost in thought.

After a while, he seemed to have roughly guessed it.

Suddenly, he caught up with Song Yi in a few steps and gently stroked her neck.

Song Yi froze instantly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Lanye said quietly, "If you speak so recklessly again, I will really listen to you, how about that?"

Song Yi shuddered and couldn't help but say, "Jiang Lanye, you're really something. You don't listen to anything else, but you listen to this kind of thing."

Before the two had finished talking, everyone had rested and was ready to set off again.

Xichun gave Song Yi the thick clothes she would wear that evening.

Song Yi, clutching her dress, climbed into the carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage was spacious enough that she could stretch out her legs while sitting inside; otherwise, she would have been exhausted by the end of the journey.

Jiang Lanye glanced at the sky outside and said, "The sun is about to set, let's change now."

Song Yi froze.

"it's here?"

Jiang Lanye looked at her and deliberately asked, "Otherwise? You can try to sneak into my arms to exchange."

Song Yi glanced at him and hesitated for a moment.

Jiang Lanye knew she was shy, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's not like we haven't bathed together before."

After saying that, he suddenly reached out and touched Song Yi's waist, touching a certain spot through the fabric.

If others saw this scene, they would definitely not understand Jiang Lanye's meaning.

But Song Yi understood immediately, and her face turned red instantly.

The spot he pointed to was where the red mole was on her side.

Even though she was wearing clothes, Jiang Lanye was still able to find its location with such precision.
