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

Chapter 189 Jealousy Gets Coaxed Back

Song Yi stopped pressing him and simply smiled, "Alright, I didn't mean anything by it, but I was quite scared when the Khan suddenly said those things to me."

Wolf Owl walked dejectedly to the low couch and lay down, resting his hands behind his head, lost in thought.

He knew nothing about matters of love between men and women, but he was genuinely concerned about Song Yi, this prisoner. At first, it was pure curiosity, but now that she had no value anymore, why was he still with her?
into the night.

Xie Ling received the reply and eagerly handed it to Jiang Lanye.

Jiang Lanye had just finished drinking his medicine, and the bitter taste still lingered in his mouth. He was staring blankly at Song Yi's clothes, thinking that if she were here, he might not be suffering so much.

When she fed it to Jiang Lanye before, she never felt that the medicine tasted bad.

"Your Majesty, the Empress's reply."

Jiang Lanye looked at him, frowned, and asked in a cold voice, "You wrote to her again?"

Xie Ling touched his nose and said, "Your Majesty, even if I don't write anything, after what happened yesterday, I imagine Her Majesty has a lot to say to you. Your Majesty should take a look."

Although Jiang Lanye thought Xie Ling's behavior was extremely dangerous and did not approve of it, his heart was suddenly filled with emotion when he received Song Yi's letter.

When Jiang Lanye unfolded the book, he remained expressionless at the first few sentences. However, when he saw Song Yi say that there was nothing between her and Lang Xiao, his brows suddenly relaxed.

Xie Ling stood to the side, carefully observing Jiang Lanye's expression.

When Jiang Lanye saw the line about threatening to pounce on him, he could already picture Song Yi's sly expression when she wrote it. His Adam's apple bobbed, and a smile crept into his eyes.

After reading the last sentence, Jiang Lanye carefully folded the letter, looked down thoughtfully at himself, and asked Xie Ling:
"Have I lost weight?"

Xie Ling was surprised by his sudden remark and immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty has lost a lot of weight."

Jiang Lanye pondered for a moment and said, "It's time for dinner."

Xie Ling was startled. This was the first time he had asked to eat since Song Yi left him. Xie Ling didn't know what the letter said, but in his opinion, it was almost like a magic pill.

Eunuch Cao brought in the steaming hot food, still a little worried, but after watching Jiang Lanye finish all the food, he finally smiled and comforted him:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is blessed with good fortune. Even after so much time has passed, she remains exceptionally safe. Your Majesty's excessive worry will only disturb her mind."

Actually, there were some things that Eunuch Cao didn't dare to say.

They all witnessed and remembered how Song Yi quickly and steadily won over Jiang Lanye, this eternally icy man, three years ago.

So this time, it's probably going to be about the same.

After all, none of them dared to underestimate the personal charm of the Imperial Concubine.

Eunuch Cao had also vaguely heard about what happened yesterday, and couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, it has to be the Imperial Concubine. How could someone who can have His Majesty's heart completely under her thumb be an ordinary person?"
Song Yi, resting her chin on her hand, stared listlessly at the brazier in the center and asked him lazily:

Stop spacing out, are you hungry?

Wolf Owl snapped out of his daze and said, "I'll have them bring things in."

Song Yi had an idea and said, "Why don't we set up a pot here and grill it while we eat? I'll go get the oil and stuff."

Wolf Owl's heart stirred slightly. Even though he kept telling himself that he should stay away from Song Yi, he still didn't want to refuse her invitation.

"Okay, go ahead."

Song Yi immediately went out, somewhat excited. This was her first time entering the small kitchen here, and as long as she could get some oil to help with the fire, any kind of oil would do.

When Song Yi returned, he carried in an entire earthenware jar filled with oil.

Wolf Owl couldn't help but laugh:
"You're planning to drink it? You don't need so much, do you?"

Song Yi explained, "There were no small jars over there, and I couldn't find anything else to hold more oil, so I had to bring the whole thing over."

Wolf Owl waved his hand dismissively and said, "Never mind, the one thing we have plenty of here is oil."

After saying that, he hesitated for a long time before sitting down next to Song Yi, and the two almost touched arms.

Song Yi pretended not to see his actions and placed the slices of meat on the heated pot.

The two watched in silence as the meat in the pot was cooked. Song Yi then picked up a piece and handed it to Lang Xiao, smiling as she said, "Eat up."

Wolf Owl awkwardly shifted his gaze.

"Let me ask you this: Aren't you a palace maid? Do you think it's better to be in the palace or here?"

Song Yi gave him a meaningful look and said, "Actually, there's not much difference between being a palace maid in the palace and a maid here. However, since you treat me well here, it's better to stay here."

Her eyes were bright, reflecting the candlelight inside the tent. The meat was still sizzling. In this cold weather, the two of them sat together around the stove. He heard Song Yi admit to himself that he was good to her.

Wolf Owl felt a tremor in his heart and asked hesitantly:

"If I keep not letting you go, have you ever considered staying by my side?"

“I know that the customs of you people from the Central Plains are different from those here, and there will always be an adaptation process. Even if you can’t adapt, you can always change things here.”

Song Yi looked at him intently and said softly:
"But I still have family in the Central Plains."

"You couldn't see your family in the palace before either. Besides, although it's far away, if you want to send something back, it can be done in five days by fast horse."

Song Yi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and deliberately moved closer to him, reaching out to touch the string of wolf fangs hanging around his neck. This gesture was exceptionally intimate, leaving Lang Xiao momentarily at a loss.

"Thank you, I'm just a prisoner, and you're still so kind to me."

Wolf Owl blushed and said:

"I already told you, you're not a prisoner. You're my personal maid."

He also deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "close to the body".

Song Yi smiled and didn't refute further. She took a bite of meat and asked casually, "The oil here smells so good. I saw several large vats full of oil standing in the west corner of the small kitchen."

"Yes, we have no shortage of any kind of oil here."

After saying that, he picked up the wine flask next to him, tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine. Looking at the wine flask, Song Yi thought that this was exactly the kind of good thing that could transport oil without arousing suspicion.

Noticing Song Yi's gaze, he asked, "You can drink?"

"I don't know how, but I think your wine bags are very beautiful."
