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

Chapter 186 Restless
Song Yi remained unfazed and said, "I'm just a palace maid. Even if those generals practice swordsmanship with each other, I can't see it. How would I know who you're talking about?"

Wolf Owl chuckled, "Alright, I believe you. If you hadn't been lucky, the arrow would have broken the rope first, and you would have been riddled with holes in mid-air."

Wolf Owl still feels lingering fear when he thinks about this scene.

He heard the sound of Song Yi falling, and in the nick of time, he rolled over, scooped Song Yi up, and carried him behind the shield. In that instant, the sandbag where Song Yi had just fallen was immediately riddled with arrows.

It was just a fleeting moment, a mere hair's breadth away.
The person on the other side truly showed no regard for Song Yi's life.

Song Yi remained silent for a long while, then took the plaster in her hand and urged:

"Quick, let me apply the medicine for you."

He bit the hem of his clothes again, looking down at Song Yi who was half-squatting in front of him. From this angle, he could see her slender and thick eyelashes, casting a small shadow, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

The moment the cool ointment touched his wound, Lang Xiao only frowned slightly. Then, Song Yi's hand accidentally touched his waist and abdomen, and he immediately tensed up.

Song Yi clearly noticed this, and she deliberately raised her hand and hit the wolf owl.

"Relax."

Wolf Owl never expected Song Yi to dare to treat him like this. His eyes widened as he watched her slender, white fingers linger on his waist and abdomen. He breathed heavily and suddenly raised his hand to roughly pull Song Yi up.

"What are you doing?! Your wound isn't properly treated yet, it's almost there!"

"You go outside and wait here. I'll do it myself. You're so slow and indecisive, you're just making things difficult for me."

After saying that, he pushed Song Yi out.

Upon seeing this, Song Yi slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

After Lang Xiao finished applying the medicine himself, he let Song Yi in, and his expression returned to normal.

at this time.

Jiang Lanye immediately took off his robe and unwrapped the white cloth wrapped around his waist layer by layer. Xie Ling quickly peeked over to look, and thankfully his wound hadn't reopened, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The military doctor's expression was unusually grim. He carefully took Jiang Lanye's pulse and cautiously asked:
"Your Majesty, did you lose control of your emotions again today?"

Jiang Lanye remained silent.

Xie Ling frowned and said, "Your Majesty has been very calm all day. Why do you say that?"

"People have joy, anger, and infatuation, but Your Majesty's health is weak, so you must not get angry. If you are really calm, how could your pulse be so weak and agitated?"

Jiang Lanye closed his eyes; he was indeed angry today.

The first time he was enraged was when he saw Song Yi bound and hanging from the catapult through his telescope; the second time he was enraged was when he watched Lang Xiao carry Song Yi behind the shield.

He could have gone back after shooting the rope, but his current body was not suitable for fighting. However, he knew that the wolf owl cared about Song Yi as a hostage, which was a good thing, at least Song Yi would not be in any danger for the time being.

But what exactly is his relationship with Song Yi now?
What hurt Jiang Lanye the most was that he and Song Yi were too far apart, and he could only watch helplessly as others protected her.

So he had Xie Ling throw his sword over. The moment the sword was drawn, he rushed towards Wolf Owl, not to kill him, but because he knew that this man could protect Song Yi at the moment.

He just wanted to face off against Wolf Owl head-on.

Moreover, Wolf Owl possessed extraordinary brute strength. Jiang Lanye was injured, and after wounding Wolf Owl's abdomen, he was struggling and had to leave temporarily.

"His Majesty?!"

The medic's hand was still on his wrist. Startled and uncertain, he woke him and asked:

"Your Majesty seems restless. What could be the cause?"

Jiang Lanye suddenly opened his eyes, pinched his brow, and said wearily, "I'm fine, I'll just drink more medicine." The military doctor, however, disagreed, saying:

"His Majesty's health is no longer something that can be cured by medicine alone. Recovery is a slow and gradual process, requiring three parts treatment and seven parts recuperation! We cannot rely solely on medication."

Xie Ling quickly added, "Yes, Your Majesty, on the bright side, at least the Empress won't be seen as a hostage by the other side, and we won't have to worry about them harming her to threaten us anymore."

Jiang Lanye responded and said, "You all go out."

"His Majesty."

"go out."

"Yes."

The group went outside, and the army doctor sighed and said:
"Once the war ends and His Majesty returns to the palace, he will need to take good care of himself. Given the current situation, His Majesty is currently only clinging to life. I am truly afraid that if something unbearable happens to him, it will be very difficult for him to cope."

Xie Ling said helplessly, "But how can His Majesty be at ease now?"

"Otherwise, let's risk sending the message by carrier pigeon again. Her Majesty was able to receive it last time, so perhaps it will be able to this time as well."

Thinking of this, Xie Ling went to find another small note, and this time she only wrote two words: comfort.

Your Majesty should understand His Majesty; upon seeing these two words, you should know what to say.

Xie Ling summoned the carrier pigeon from last time and tied the note to its leg.

Early the next morning.

When Wolf Owl opened his eyes and woke up, he found Song Yi sitting on the edge of his low couch, resting her chin on her hands and looking at him.

When he met Song Yi's bright and spirited eyes, he couldn't help but want to look away and ask, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"

"You probably don't have anything to do today, do you?"

"Nonsense, we just suffered a defeat yesterday. We'll rest for two days before we go."

Song Yi's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Then will you come with me for a walk? I want to go inside your cattle and sheep enclosure to take a look."

Wolf Owl looked at him with disdain: "You're so ignorant, you've never even seen these cattle and sheep before."

"I've seen them before, but I've never seen a lamb before. Don't you think they're adorable?"

Song Yi had ulterior motives; she deliberately widened her eyes and looked at him expectantly.

Why should I go with you to see it?

"Otherwise, who can take me in? I'm yours now, so why don't you come with me to take a look?"

Wolf Owl choked twice. He had just woken up and heard such words. He couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean you're one of my people?"

His gaze toward Song Yi was exceptionally ardent.

Song Yi deliberately said, "Now that I'm your maid, doesn't that mean I'm your person?"

Wolf Owl instantly regained his composure and said in a low voice, "Is that so? Alright then. Anyway, I'm free today. You've been here for several days and haven't seen the beautiful scenery of our grasslands yet, so I'll show you around today."

Seeing that he was about to get up, Song Yi smiled slightly.

That's good, gradually lowering our guard against her.

When Wolf Owl took Song Yi out, the people there were clearly used to it.
