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

Chapter 145 Bite

Song Yi can't sit for long periods after eating, as it makes her feel uncomfortable. Taking a walk after meals has become a habit for her.

Jiang Lanye seemed to sense something. He had been engrossed in reviewing the documents, but when he saw Song Yi stand up, he raised an eyebrow.

Song Yi pointed outside the tent, indicating that she wanted to go for a walk.

Jiang Lanye glanced at the candle on the small table beside him and said in an unquestionable manner, "You must come back before this candle burns out."

The general, completely unaware of the flirtatious exchange between the two, was startled by Jiang Lanye's question and abruptly looked up, instinctively asking, "What candle?"

The moment he asked that question, the tent fell silent.

Then he saw Song Yi and realized what Jiang Lanye meant, which shocked him.

Is His Majesty usually this controlling?
Song Yi responded and went out.

Jiang Lanye lowered his head and continued reading.

She went outside and saw many soldiers sitting around a campfire, talking about something.

Song Yi didn't intend to disturb them and strolled by. However, when they saw Song Yi, they all stood up in unison and shouted in a loud voice, "Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine!"

Song Yi was so shocked by the commotion that her scalp tingled and her lips twitched slightly. She quickly said, "Please sit down, please continue. I just came out for a walk."

"Yes."

So he sat down again.

Just as Song Yi was about to take another step, someone asked her, "Has Your Highness the Imperial Concubine had dinner yet?"

Song Yi: "I've already eaten. What about you?"

They nodded.

Song Yi truly didn't know what to say to them, and just as she was about to leave, the man spoke again:

"Your Highness, I have heard that you intend to use willow catkins instead of cotton for the lining of your winter clothes?"

Song Yi was taken aback, not expecting that they knew about it too, and responded with a sound of agreement.

"However, this is just my idea. Whether it will work or not, we still need to ask you, since you know this place better than I do."

Seeing that she couldn't leave anytime soon, Song Yi simply stood there and chatted with them about winter clothes.

After chatting for an unknown amount of time, Song Yi saw the soldier take a swig of wine. He looked up at the sky and saw that the moon had already risen.

She exhaled a puff of white breath, then suddenly remembered the candle and thought it shouldn't have burned that quickly. She greeted them and turned to leave.

She lifted the curtain and went inside, only to find that the general had already left, apparently having reached a conclusion regarding the secret letter. The candles in the tent had been extinguished, leaving it somewhat dim.

Where did Jiang Lanye go?

Song Yi frowned and walked further inside. There was a screen in the tent, and it seemed that someone was behind it. Song Yi hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "Jiang Lanye?"

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind the screen and pulled Song Yi over.

Song Yi couldn't help but gasp in surprise, and then Jiang Lanye covered her mouth with his hand.

Before she could react, Jiang Lanye had pinned her against the screen.

"you"

The candlelight was dim and flickering, stretching the shadows of the two people who were pressed closely together.

"Are you done?"

Jiang Lanye gave a faint "hmm," but the way he looked at her was a little strange.

Song Yi knew the candle had gone out completely, and somewhat guiltily explained:
"The candles here seem different from the ones we used over there; this one burns faster."

Jiang Lanye casually raised his hand to play with the strands of hair that fell around her neck, and asked in a low voice, "What did you talk about when you went out just now?"

Song Yi was startled, not understanding how he knew, and honestly said, "We were just talking about winter clothes. They told me that there are a lot of reeds and rushes around here because of the terrain."

Jiang Lanye remained silent.

Song Yi sensed that he seemed a little unhappy. He was pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe, so she couldn't help but reach out and push him.

"Get up first, it's uncomfortable for me to be pressed down like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lanye's breathing suddenly became heavy. He reached out and tightly gripped her wrist, pulling her hands together.

Her wrists were very slender, and Jiang Lanye easily grabbed both of them with his palms, preventing her from moving. Then, he suddenly brushed aside the hair on her neck, leaned down, and bit down hard.

"what!"

Song Yi cried out in pain.

She didn't know how she had provoked Jiang Lanye. Even though she cried out in pain, he didn't let go. He bit the tender white flesh of her neck and rubbed it up and down hard.

"It hurts!"

Upon hearing Song Yi's words, Jiang Lanye paused, then finally relented, gently touching her lips to his lips in a comforting gesture before releasing Song Yi's grip.

Song Yi gritted her teeth, wishing she could hit him directly. She was about to raise her hand when Jiang Lanye firmly grabbed it, kissed her palm, and said in a hoarse voice, "It smells so good. Did you put something on?"

Song Yi: "."

She angrily withdrew her hand, a faint pain shooting through her neck, which she couldn't help but touch.

"Jiang Lanye, are you a dog? You must have bitten me until I bled."

Jiang Lanye said calmly, "No."

He always has a good grasp of the force.

"Song Yi, I know you are intelligent, but I haven't asked you these past two days why you know something related to military strategy?"

"You're not going to bite me over this, are you?"

Jiang Lanye smiled without saying a word.

Song Yi muttered softly, "It's still what I said before. I read a lot of books in that world. I liked to read all sorts of things. Some of them are in my mind, so I just said them naturally."

"Otherwise, how did I end up beside you? If I hadn't read the book, I wouldn't have transmigrated here."

Her last sentence was spoken very softly, and Jiang Lanye almost didn't hear it clearly.

He still couldn't quite understand what Song Yi was saying, but when he heard her say that she had read many books, he understood.

Jiang Lanye tenderly touched the marks on her neck and said, "From now on, don't stay up late anymore. You must listen to whatever I say."

Her skin is fair, and even a little force can leave a mark on it, let alone such a deep bite mark, which will probably take several days to fade.

As Jiang Lanye looked at it, he suddenly chuckled softly and murmured, "It's really beautiful."

Song Yi, unable to bear it any longer, gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Lanye, be normal!"

After saying that, she turned to leave, but Jiang Lanye hugged her tightly from behind.

He was very strong, and his grip on Song Yi's waist made her ache.

"Song Yi, as long as you stay within my sight and return on time, I will be perfectly normal."

Ever since Jiang Lanye thought that Song Yi might travel back in time without warning, he has become even more attached to Song Yi than before.

He had just seen the candle burn out and Song Yi had not yet returned, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Just as he was about to go out and bring Song Yi back, she returned on her own.
