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

Chapter 207 The concubines all came to see Jiang Lanye

"When are you going to take this off me? I feel like a prisoner wearing this!"

Seeing that Jiang Lanye was still smiling faintly, Song Yi was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but she didn't dare to actually do it, after all, he was still a patient.

So she pretended to raise her hand, but Jiang Lanye firmly grabbed her wrist just as it was about to fall.

Song Yi tensed up, wanting to pull away as Jiang Lanye suddenly leaned closer, but he forcefully pulled her into his arms, holding her waist tightly, and deliberately whispered in her ear:
"The shackles the prisoners wear are to restrict their movement, and they are very heavy, unlike yours."

"Yours is so beautiful, it would be perfect to wear it on your ankle."

In the end, Song Yi couldn't help herself and placed her hand on his waist, wanting to pinch him, but instead she touched his firm muscles, which made her extremely annoyed. She grabbed his hand and bit it hard.

Jiang Lanye smiled at her and asked, "Are you willing to part with it?"

Song Yi was indeed reluctant. She clenched her teeth and bit his fingertip, but in the end, she didn't use too much force and slightly loosened her teeth. Jiang Lanye suddenly took advantage of the situation and went in a little further, touching her soft little tongue.

Song Yi's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly pulled his hand away, her head spinning slightly from his earlier actions.

"Jiang Lanye, you really are..."

Jiang Lanye lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, saying, "Wash up and have your meal."

Seeing that he had managed to gloss over the matter so easily, Song Yi gritted his teeth.

The two ate something, and then the bowl of medicine was brought in.

Seeing this, Song Yi opened the jar of candied fruit. Thinking of how Jiang Lanye had asked her to feed him candied fruit last night, she hesitated. Did she have to do that every time in the future?

The medicine was cooling down when there was a sudden commotion outside the hall.

The Empress Dowager had intended to visit Jiang Lanye yesterday, but was locked out of the palace. The concubines kept crying and making a fuss, saying they were worried about His Majesty. So the Empress Dowager simply brought them along.

At this moment, the gates of the Golden Palace were still open, and with the Empress Dowager leading the way, the concubines followed her in.

Song Yi glanced at them discreetly; each one was dressed in a flamboyant manner, and they didn't seem to be there to show concern for Jiang Lanye, but rather to seduce him.

She then looked at Jiang Lanye.

Jiang Lanye caught a glimpse of them entering, glancing at them casually. Among them were many exceptionally beautiful women, but none caught his eye. He asked in a calm voice:
What did Mother do later?

"I was worried about you, so last night I summoned people from the Imperial Hospital to ask about it, and that's when I found out how serious the matter was."

The bowl of medicine on the table had an exceptionally strong bitter taste. The Empress Dowager couldn't help but frown and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I'm worried about you. Can you really drink this medicine?"

Song Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have prepared some candied fruit. It's safe for you to drink, so please rest assured, Your Majesty."

When the Empress Dowager came in just now, she didn't get up to greet her. The Empress Dowager knew this and chose not to argue with her at this time.

Consort Ning stepped forward and looked at Jiang Lanye, who was noticeably thinner than before, and said softly, "Your Majesty, my mother once tried to replenish her qi and blood at home. This prescription is one that my mother found effective. Although it is not as good as the prescriptions given by the Imperial Hospital, it is still somewhat useful."

After saying that, she took out the prescription from her sleeve, unfolded it, took a deep breath, looked at the noble man in front of her, walked up to him, and handed it over shyly.

Jiang Lanye glanced at it casually without raising his hand.

Just as Consort Ning was feeling uneasy, a small, slender white hand reached out and took her prescription. Song Yi glanced at it; the medicinal herbs listed seemed to be fine. She folded it up and smiled, "Then thank you very much, Consort Ning."

Consort Ning choked, her gaze shifting downwards, and she suddenly noticed that beneath her skirt, between her legs, there seemed to be a thin gold chain.
this.
She looked at Jiang Lanye with some disbelief.

It can't be what she thinks, right?
Jiang Lanye was not interested in women before, and although he now has Song Yi by his side, she doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is obsessed with lust. They probably can't do this kind of thing in private, right?

The Empress Dowager stared sternly at Song Yi and solemnly instructed, "His Majesty is currently in poor health. Since you are by his side, you must take good care of him and shoulder your due responsibilities."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lanye said coldly, "What I need is the care of the imperial physicians, not Consort Yun. Mother, you should say these things to those imperial physicians."

The Empress Dowager frowned. In the past few days, she had thoroughly figured out Jiang Lanye's temperament, and suddenly softened her voice.

“Your Majesty, I know, but all these years, you have never had a close confidante by your side. Now that she is by your side, it will be more convenient for her to take care of you than for the imperial physicians.”

Song Yi would indeed take good care of him, but not on the orders of the Empress Dowager.

She picked up the medicine on the table and said, "This medicine shouldn't be too hot to drink now, you should drink it quickly."

Everyone stared intently at Jiang Lanye, while Lin Cairen silently covered her nose with a handkerchief.

They must have felt sorry for him, smelling such bitter medicine and thinking about how Jiang Lanye would have to drink it for a long time to come.
However, when they looked at Song Yi, they were more envious of her position, being able to stay by Jiang Lanye's side at all times. If it were them, they would still give Jiang Lanye such bitter medicine.
Before drinking, Jiang Lanye gave Song Yi a deep look.

Song Yi knew what he was thinking, and stared at him as if to tell him that it was impossible.

After he finished his medicine, Song Yi calmly picked up a candied fruit, met his straight gaze, and held it to his lips, saying, "Eat it."

With so many people around, how could she possibly act like she did last night!
He shouldn't even think about it!
Jiang Lanye remained motionless.

The Empress Dowager looked at him with suspicion.

Song Yi suddenly coughed loudly, this time with a clear warning in his eyes.

He finally opened his mouth and put the candied fruit in.

Consort Ning stared blankly at the two of them, then suddenly said, “By the way, Your Majesty, spring is just around the corner, you should go out and bask in the sun more often. There is a very nice and quiet place for sunbathing near my palace. Your Majesty may wish to go there. In addition, I actually know a little about medicine. When I take care of Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager will be at ease.”

The Empress Dowager responded with satisfaction, saying, "Consort Ning's suggestion is good. His Majesty can't stay in the Golden Palace all the time. I will send people to tidy up and decorate that place properly."

The two made their decision too quickly.

In fact, Song Yi also felt that Jiang Lanye should get some sun, so she didn't say anything. Anyway, she would definitely be the one accompanying Jiang Lanye, so Consort Ning didn't even need to think about it.

Consort Ning was somewhat pleased, and then deliberately said in front of Song Yi:
"Your Majesty, my father wants to visit you in a couple of days. He was overjoyed to learn that Your Majesty has returned to the capital."

At the mention of her father, Jiang Lanye finally reacted, saying calmly, "Have him come to see me tomorrow."

He also happened to have some matters to discuss with these ministers.

Even though it was just a very ordinary and casual remark, it was enough to make Consort Ning happy. She curled her lips into a smug smile.

"Yes, I will tell Father."
