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

Chapter 164 Both in a deep sleep
Song Yi paused, looked at his snow-white inner collar, and stretched out her finger to probe inside.

"Don't move around, let me check how your wound is."

She smiled mischievously, her nimble fingertips caressing his chest, feeling it carefully, and whispered in his ear, "It feels pretty good."

Jiang Lanye couldn't help but let out a low gasp, arching his body slightly as he gritted his teeth and said, "Song... Yi!"

Song Yi blinked innocently, and asked with some grievance, "What's wrong? I didn't do anything to you. I told you to close your eyes and rest, but you didn't listen to me. Since that's the case, let's play something else."

Jiang Lanye's ears turned completely red. He turned his head slightly away, revealing an expression of bearing humiliation.

Song Yi couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "Why didn't you do this when you were touching me all over before?"

He bent one leg, trying to cover something.

Song Yi saw through it but didn't say anything, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to rest or not?"

".Um."

Seeing that he had finally agreed, Song Yi reluctantly took her hand out.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Jiang Lanye say in an extremely hoarse voice, "You'll regret this later."

Song Yi was a little scared and quickly untied the white cloth covering his eyes. The moment he regained his sight, he squinted and looked at Song Yi.

Song Yi chuckled awkwardly, "I was just joking with you."

Jiang Lanye hadn't touched Song Yi for a long time, especially now that he was injured and couldn't do anything. He was already anxious, and someone was deliberately teasing him like this.

"Release me."

He repeated it again.

Song Yi then remembered that his hands were still tied, and asked with a grin, "I've untied them, are you going to sleep?"

"sleep."

"Take your medicine first, then go to sleep. And you're not allowed to watch anything tonight, okay?"

"Row."

Seeing Jiang Lanye agree so readily, Song Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise and said seriously, "Are you deliberately lying to me, or do you have some bad idea in mind?"

Jiang Lanye immediately said, "My beloved concubine, my beloved concubine, release me!"

Song Yi couldn't stand Jiang Lanye calling her that, which even had a hint of coquetry in it. She immediately untied the silk ribbon, carefully examined his wrist, and said with some satisfaction, "You know what, this silk ribbon won't leave any marks when you tie someone up. It's pretty good."

Jiang Lanye stared intently at her, his eyes like those of a wolf, wishing he could pounce on Song Yi right then and there and devour her whole.

Song Yi was a little scared and raised her hand to cover his eyes.

"Alright, alright, go to sleep."

After Jiang Lanye lay down, he obediently closed his eyes, but still asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Close your eyes and rest first, I'll go and brew your medicine."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lanye immediately opened his eyes and said, "No."

Song Yi knew he would react this way, and said helplessly, "I will be back soon. I don't trust anyone else to prepare your medicine. The two assassin incidents have already frightened me enough."

"Then send Eunuch Cao."

Song Yi choked up, "But I'm the one who usually cooks it; he can't control the heat properly."

Jiang Lanye looked at the candle beside him and said resolutely, "This candle must come back before it burns out, otherwise I will not sleep."

Song Yi's lips twitched slightly.

It was a candle again. She had learned her lesson with this candle last time and knew that it burned much faster than she had imagined, so she immediately said, "Okay, okay, I understand."

After saying that, she rushed out.

This time, Song Yi was very punctual. When she came in with the medicine, she found Jiang Lanye staring intently at the candle. Hearing Song Yi's footsteps, his eyes flickered and his gaze instantly locked onto Song Yi.

Seeing this, Song Yi felt somewhat helpless.

She discovered that Jiang Lanye was sometimes a very simple person.

His daily routine consisted of handling political affairs, nothing else. Now that Song Yi had come to his side, he had one more thing to do: look at Song Yi, hug Song Yi, and kiss Song Yi.

If he couldn't see Song Yi and couldn't handle government affairs, he would be idle and wouldn't close his eyes to rest, just staring at the candle in boredom.

I'll feed you little by little with a spoon.

"it is good."

He finished the drink, sip by sip, and watched as Song Yi wiped his lips. Suddenly, he asked:

"How is my health?"

Song Yi froze for a moment, then pretended to be calm and said, "What else can happen? You're so weak, you don't have much strength, and you still won't listen to me. You'll get better as long as you rest."

Jiang Lanye stared into her eyes and saw something. He said in a low voice, "Song Yi, I thought my life would end when my mother died in front of me."

But Heaven brought Song Yi to his side, giving him a second, vibrant life.

Song Yi couldn't stand these kinds of words and immediately interrupted him: "What nonsense are you talking about? When you get better, don't forget that you still have to watch the snow with me. Go to sleep, I'll sleep with you."

"it is good."

Night had completely fallen.

Xie Ling returned with his soldiers, looking dejected.

We didn't find any passable paths on the first day, and now that it's dark, it's even harder to find. Let's go back and rest for the night, and then search carefully with our men when it's light tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

When Song Yi woke up, she looked at Jiang Lanye lying next to her and stared at him nervously.

Did you faint?
Perhaps sensing Song Yi's intense gaze, Jiang Lanye frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

Song Yi was somewhat delighted, but at the same time let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"That's great. I thought you were going to fall asleep again. Sit up, let me help you wash up."

Jiang Lanye smiled slightly.

He felt that he was in better spirits than yesterday.

Song Yi went to cook breakfast and fed it to Jiang Lanye little by little. Then, Eunuch Cao came in, saying happily:
"Your Majesty, General Xie just said that he and his men have found a place that may be a new passage."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Xie Ling strode in, looking exhausted, but his eyes were full of excitement.

"Your Majesty, soldiers have discovered a tiny hole on that hill. It has light coming from it and should lead to the other side. The place is very well hidden. If we can dig along that hole, the road for transporting grain will definitely be secured. Moreover, that place is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Jiang Lanye asked cautiously, "Are you sure? Chiseling rock is not easy. Be careful not to end up doing nothing."

This is exactly what's giving Xie Ling the biggest headache right now, because the opening is too small for any of the soldiers to squeeze through.

"Your Majesty, I will find a way to confirm it."

After saying that, he bowed and walked out.

Xichun came in carrying a basin of warm water and said softly, "This servant will help Your Highness wash up."

Song Yi glanced at her, immediately frowned, and asked, "Xichun, what's wrong?"
