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

Chapter 206: Is he very concerned about him?

She comforted Jiang Lanye, feeling his muscles finally relax, and then whispered:
"Okay, go back to sleep."

Jiang Lanye took a deep breath and looked at Song Yi with a complicated expression.

Her body was soft and warm, and she exuded a faint fragrance. He pressed himself tightly against her. Since they were forced to separate, Jiang Lanye had been abstaining from sex for a long time. If he could still control himself after such a long time, then he would definitely be abnormal.

But Song Yi was completely oblivious to this and kept hugging him. At this moment, even if Song Yi had wrapped herself up completely and only revealed her face, she would still be a great temptation to him.

It's not just a temptation, it's also a test.

Then, he suddenly sat up.

Song Yi was still half asleep and not quite conscious. "Hmm?"

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Lanye lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go sleep on the low couch."

Having said that, without giving Song Yi time to react, he directly lifted the quilt and got off the dragon bed.

Song Yi blinked in surprise. This had never happened before. Why did they have to sleep separately?

"Isn't it cramped on the low couch? This dragon couch is so spacious."

Jiang Lanye moved his lips, but didn't speak.

No matter how spacious it is, the two of them will definitely sleep together.

He flicked Song Yi's forehead lightly with his fingers, his voice low and deep, tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, I should let you taste the feeling of wanting something but not being able to have it."

It seemed like he was the one who always had a need for that kind of thing between them.

Song Yi: "."

She said, "How about I come over? You're still recovering, you can't not sleep well."

"No need."

He refused with exceptional decisiveness.

When she saw that he actually took the pillow over, Song Yi was completely dumbfounded and didn't know whether she should lie down and go to sleep.

Jiang Lanye was afraid she would overthink things, so he explained helplessly, "The reason I sleep separately from you is not for any strange reason, but because I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."

Song Yi's cheeks flushed red instantly. In the pitch-black night, her entire face looked as if it had been steamed by heat. She didn't say anything more and quickly covered her face with the blanket after lying down.

Damn it, this means she can't sleep either.

Jiang Lanye simply closed his eyes; it was better not to see.
Day two.

As the weather gradually warms up and spring is just around the corner, Song Yi kicked off the covers in the middle of the night, not even wearing her nightgown properly. Half of her shoulder was exposed, and her jet-black hair spread out on the pillow like seaweed, making her fair face appear even more striking.

Jiang Lanye sat silently beside her for a long time, then pulled the blanket up a little for her.

Song Yi frowned slightly, woke up, and casually stretched in front of Jiang Lanye without any guard up, asking in a muffled voice, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer? Did you sleep well last night?"

Jiang Lanye couldn't help but say, "Although it's almost early spring, it's still a bit cold. Put your nightgown on properly."

Song Yi straightened his clothes, sat up, and asked, "By the way, you still need to recuperate, so can you refrain from interfering in court affairs for the time being? Or are there many things waiting for you to handle upon your return?"

Jiang Lanye gently raised his hand to straighten her clothes, his voice soft:
"There are quite a few things to do, but my beloved concubine is quite strict with me, so I can handle fewer things each day and finish them over several days."

Seeing that Song Yi was no longer sleepy, he simply lifted the covers, picked her up easily, and placed her in front of the dressing table. He whispered, "Yi Yi, I've been thinking about making you Empress all night."

Song Yi paused, somewhat surprised.

"I'm fine with either way, but this identity is not simple. I think I'm fine as I am now."

As a modern person, all she wanted was to be with Jiang Lanye forever, like an ordinary couple. Whether she was an empress or a concubine, it didn't make much difference to her, but Jiang Lanye seemed to care a lot.

Jiang Lanye picked up the comb. Even though the two of them hadn't returned for a long time, everything in the Golden Palace remained unchanged, including her dressing table, which was exceptionally clean, with all the jewelry and rouge neatly arranged.

He gently stroked Song Yi's hair, lowered his eyes, and carefully combed out the few knotted strands of her hair.

He looked so serious that it seemed he was doing something extremely important; he never showed such an expression when reviewing memorials.

Feeling the gentleness of his movements, Song Yi squinted her eyes comfortably.

"It feels like it's been a really long time; it's been so long since they combed my hair."

Jiang Lanye looked at her blissful expression, smiled, and said, "We'll have breakfast later. After I finish my medicine, I'll take care of some things. You wait patiently for me to finish."

Song Yi suddenly asked, "How is General Xie?"

Jiang Lanye glanced at her and said, "He'll be back soon. When he returns, he'll definitely be rewarded handsomely."

After saying that, he suddenly said with a half-smile, "Of course, I also have to reward you."

Song Yi pretended not to understand him and asked again, "What about Zuo Sheng?"

“He was seriously injured and returned to the capital with us. He is recuperating at his residence. He has decided to retire from the military and return to his hometown. He has neglected many things. Since he has failed to fulfill his duties as a general, I will naturally not use him again.”

Song Yi pursed her lips and said, "That's for the best. Actually, he was so badly injured, it's not suitable for him to continue."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Lanye's hand suddenly reached out from behind her, caressing her delicate neck, and he said softly, "You care about him a lot?"

Song Yi immediately replied, "I didn't say anything, I just asked a couple of questions casually."

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Lanye suddenly tucked her loose hair behind her ear, then leaned down and bit her fair earlobe.

"what"

Caught off guard, she cried out in pain. Unexpectedly, after she made that sound, Jiang Lanye's breathing suddenly became heavier, and his hot breath sprayed all over her ears. She quickly shrank her head and tried to get up to avoid him.

Jiang Lanye pressed her back down and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you really have to make that kind of sound to seduce me?"

Song Yi: "You were the one who bit me first."

Combing her hair could easily lead to trouble, so Song Yi quickly snatched the comb, hurriedly combed it a few times, picked up a hairpin to tie her hair up, and just as she was about to take a step, she tripped again.

Jiang Lanye didn't move, watching with a smile as she fell into his arms. He then calmly raised his hand to catch her, pretending to be a good person and saying, "How could you be so careless? You can even fall while walking."

Song Yi glared at him, but her gaze was hardly menacing; in Jiang Lanye's eyes, it seemed more like a coquettish complaint.
