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

Chapter 163 Kidnapping Him
After all, Jiang Lanye was so weak, and could only lie in bed. Who would have thought that the two of them could still...
After holding back for a while, Xichun said, "Your Majesty, why don't you go inside? It's so cold outside, and you came out without even putting on a cloak."

Song Yi's eyes darted away.

She didn't want to go in; it was too embarrassing.

As soon as he finished speaking, a general inside lifted the curtain, looked at Eunuch Cao, and said, "His Majesty invites you in."

He didn't see Song Yi standing beside him, and went back after saying those words.

Eunuch Cao hurried inside, walked to Jiang Lanye's side, and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

He said succinctly, "Bring the Imperial Concubine back."

"expensive"

Isn't the Imperial Concubine right at the door?

His lips twitched slightly as he said, "Yes."

Jiang Lanye only then realized that Song Yi was dressed lightly when she went out, and he was a little worried. If it were any other time, he would have gone to bring Song Yi back himself.

Eunuch Cao lifted the curtain and went out. When he looked at Song Yi again, a strange gloating expression appeared on his face. He said, "Your Highness, His Majesty wants you to come in."

Song Yi: "I knew it."

Jiang Lanye is so clingy to her; she was only gone for a short while, and he probably reached his limit of patience.

Song Yi felt somewhat helpless and went straight inside.

Everyone turned to look at her.

One of them suddenly said, "Your Highness, you have worked hard these past few days taking care of His Majesty's health."

Song Yi was somewhat surprised, but smiled and said, "It's alright, you guys are the ones who have worked the hardest."

After saying that, she obediently sat down next to Jiang Lanye.

Jiang Lanye was displeased and looked at her, asking in a low voice, "Where did you go?"

Song Yi said, "I'll tell you in a bit."

Then they asked, "Your Majesty, what did the military doctors say about your health?"

Jiang Lanye paused, looked at Song Yi, and said, "I don't know. This question should be asked of Consort Yun."

"Your Highness Consort Yun, His Majesty..."

Song Yi forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, His Majesty may fall into a coma again, but as his body recovers, he will be completely fine in the future. Right now, he is just in poor spirits because he has lost too much blood and energy."

They breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Lingshan arrived late.

When he came in, his expression was unusually solemn, and it was unclear what had happened.

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.

"Greetings, Your Majesty; greetings, Imperial Concubine."

Jiang Lanye frowned slightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened?"

Xie Ling said with difficulty, "Your Majesty, the road used to transport supplies to the front lines is completely unusable."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's hearts sank.

"General Xie, what do you mean? We can't use them anymore? What will happen to the soldiers at the front? It's snowing heavily right now; what if our supplies run out?"

Xie Ling said in a deep voice, "They are in the dark, while we are in the light. Moreover, because the grassland has a wide field of vision, our special route for transporting grain was actually discovered a long time ago and was completely captured yesterday. They would rather die than lose their own lives than lose all the grain!"

Jiang Lanye remained calm, and upon hearing this, he said coldly, "An army cannot move until its supplies are ready. This is the foundation of war. They naturally understand this simple principle, so they are willing to risk everything, like moths to a flame, to completely cut off that route and destroy our foundation."

Someone nearby was already anxious: "What are we going to do now?! If they think the supplies are all gone, the longer it drags on, the more demoralized the army will become." The soldiers on the front lines were unaware of the serious problem.

The food they had could only last for three days at most, under such harsh conditions.

Xie Ling stared intently at Jiang Lanye and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I think that after leading people to search around these past two days, we found a low mountain not far away. If we could find another way out of that mountain, even if it's difficult, it would still be better than the way we are now!"

Jiang Lanye said calmly, "That's what I think too. This matter must be handled as soon as possible and cannot be delayed for too long."

Xie Ling cupped his hands and said, "Your humble servant will take care of it immediately."

Seeing that Jiang Lanye looked unwell, they dared not linger there for too long, fearing that they would disturb his rest, and all took their leave.

After they left, Song Yi frowned deeply and said, "What if we can't find it?"

Jiang Lanye raised his hand and gently smoothed her furrowed brows, saying softly, "We will find it. There's always a way out. Don't worry."

Song Yi glanced at him helplessly: "How could I not worry?"

"Alright, stop talking and get some sleep."

Jiang Lanye did not close his eyes, but kept looking at her.

Song Yi immediately said, "You promised me you would listen to me, and only listen to me. Now you're not listening?"

Jiang Lanye chuckled softly, "I usually make you obedient, so it's nice to experience being controlled occasionally."

Song Yi said meaningfully, "Only you like this feeling."

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes flickered, and she suddenly leaned against his chest, staring straight at him, and said, "How about I tie you up?"

"If I see you not resting properly again, I'll tie your hands, blindfold you, and force you to rest properly, how about that?"

Before Jiang Lanye could answer, Song Yi became increasingly excited and asked, "Where's the silk ribbon you used to tie me up before?"

Jiang Lanye's Adam's apple bobbed slightly for a moment before he said, "It's in the cabinet."

Song Yi hurried over, searched for a while, and indeed found it. Then she sat down next to Jiang Lanye and asked him:

"Are you sure you've finished everything for today? I can't afford to miss any military matters."

Jiang Lanye hummed in agreement, appearing remarkably calm.

Song Yi was somewhat dissatisfied with his indifferent response and ordered, "Extend your hand."

Jiang Lanye remained motionless.

She grinned mischievously, "Since you're so weak right now, if you don't cooperate, then I'll get to you."

After saying that, she easily put Jiang Lanye's two hands together, quickly tied his wrists with silk, and even had the leisure to carefully tie a knot.

Jiang Lanye stared straight at her and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you want to do?"

Song Yi then found some plain silk and blindfolded him.

The candlelight inside the tent was dim, and Jiang Lanye leaned against the bed. His nightgown was loose because Song Yi had just brushed against him, revealing a section of his collarbone.

His usually strong hands were now bound, the veins throbbing faintly.

Because his eyes were blindfolded, Jiang Lanye felt that all the sounds around him were amplified, and his breathing became rapid, his chest heaving.

Song Yi admired the sickly Jiang Lanye for a while before reaching out and gently touching his pale lips.

"Don't move around!"

After saying that, her hands began to wander restlessly over Jiang Lanye's body.

Jiang Lanye, who was usually full of imperial majesty, showed a rare hint of panic at this moment. His eyelashes trembled uneasily under his white silk robe. He tried his best to suppress something and said in a hoarse voice, "...Release me."
