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

Chapter 328 Dissolving the Harem
When they parted again, Song Yi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the red stain on Jiang Lanye's lips, and quickly reached out to wipe it away for him.

"Yiyi, didn't you say you had something to tell me tonight?"

Song Yi nodded and said seriously, "I told you not to be scared, but the system appeared during today's coronation ceremony."

As expected, Jiang Lanye frowned as soon as she finished speaking.

It's not fair to blame him for being overly aggressive; it's just that every time the system appears, it's usually accompanied by something bad.

"But it's a good thing. My mission is complete, so it will reward me. From now on, I can take you to see my world."

Jiang Lanye was taken aback: "How do we get there?"

She shook her head: "Don't worry about the specifics of how to get there, because I can't explain it either, just like I have no idea how I got to you."

"Moreover, I can only go once a month, but that's enough for me."

Staring at Song Yi's unusually excited expression, Jiang Lanye's emotions were infected by her.

"Alright, I'll accompany you back then. It just so happens that I've always been curious about what the world you live in is like."

Song Yi felt a little guilty. "But... if we go back, we'll definitely end up at the place I mentioned last time."

Jiang Lanye narrowed his eyes: "A place like a tavern?"

".yes."

"And the man who loves you."

".yes."

He chuckled meaningfully, "So what? You and I are now married."

Song Yi glanced at him: "I don't think there's anything wrong with it. The point is you. I'm worried that you might get a shock. Please don't keep bringing up murderous thoughts."

Jiang Lanye remained silent.

Well, she knew Jiang Lanye would care a lot about this.

After a while, he asked again, "When do you plan to go back and visit?"

Song Yi looked down at her belly: "Let's wait until after the baby is born. I feel it's a bit dangerous like this now."

"it is good."

"When can we leave the palace?"

Jiang Lanye smiled and said, "It will be fine in the next few days. I will have carriages and luggage prepared, but before that..."

"how?"

Jiang Lanye looked at her quietly, then suddenly called out earnestly, "Empress."

"what?"

"Everyone will be coming to pay their respects tomorrow; tell them then."

Song Yi's eyelids twitched: "You mean, tell them you're going to disband the harem?"

"Yes, I will not force or drive anyone away. They are free to come and go. If they want to go back to their residences, they can. If they don't want to, they can stay in the palace for the rest of their lives. They will still be served by palace servants. I will never mistreat them. However, they will no longer be my concubines."

Song Yi hadn't expected Jiang Lanye to be so fast.

"So, after this matter is resolved, shall we leave the palace?"

Jiang Lanye nodded: "Autumn is good, but winter is too cold. I'm afraid you'll catch a cold outside if you leave the palace."

Song Yi raised her hand to cover her face: "What should I do? I feel like my life is completely fulfilled at this moment."

"It is a bit of a pity for me."

Song Yi immediately glared at him: "What regret?"

"On our wedding night, I can only look at you, and you're dressed so beautifully tonight." "Well, there's nothing I can do about it."

Song Yi was exhausted. Jiang Lanye wanted to take her to bathe, but she just wanted to lie on the bed and not move. In the end, Jiang Lanye forcibly carried her there.

Jiang Lanye carefully washed off the makeup from her face, then soaked her in the bathtub and personally served her bath.

Song Yi hummed comfortably. In front of Jiang Lanye, she was no longer as shy as before, and finally let him put her nightgown on her in a generous manner, and then carried her back.

As soon as they got back, the two of them tumbled onto the dragon bed in each other's arms. Song Yi grabbed Jiang Lanye's collar, buried her head in his chest and sniffed, quite satisfied: "Not bad, smells nice."

Jiang Lanye held her as if she were a small animal, and said in a deep voice, "We smell the same."

"That's true, Jiang Lanye. Are you tired right now?"

"Not tired."

"Since you're not tired, get up and massage my legs. My calves are so sore today."

It was already late at night, and Jiang Lanye had been massaging her for a long time without complaint.

Early the next morning.

After a night's rest, Song Yi thought she would feel much better today, but the moment she opened her eyes and sat up, she realized something was wrong.

My limbs ached terribly, as did my lower back. Only my calves felt a little better because Jiang Lanye had massaged them properly. The soles of my feet felt like they were broken.

She struggled to get out of bed. Xi Chun came in and, seeing Song Yi's condition, quickly went to help her, her cheeks slightly flushed: "Your Highness, you've only been pregnant for a little over three months, shouldn't you be able to have sex yet? What happened last night?"

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, then immediately removed her hand from her waist: "No, no, I'm just too tired from yesterday's coronation ceremony."

Xichun realized she had misunderstood and awkwardly helped her over.

"Your Majesty, I am now helping you with your makeup. The concubines will be here soon."

Song Yi nodded helplessly.

Her face showed signs of fatigue, and her awkward gait made her easy to misunderstand.

After a while.

Several people walked in one after another.

"Concubine, please give your regards to the Queen."

Song Yi forced a smile: "Get up, everyone. Since you are all here today, I want to convey His Majesty's plans for the future."

The group exchanged bewildered glances and looked up at Song Yi.

They noticed that although Song Yi had been carefully dressed up, there was still a hint of fatigue in her eyes, and her back was not straight, with a soft cushion placed under her lower back.

The crowd's expressions turned strange.

Last night was the emperor and empress's wedding night. She was clearly pregnant, yet she still acted so recklessly?

They felt uneasy. Even though they knew long ago that Jiang Lanye and Song Yi had a deep relationship, seeing the usually aloof and indifferent Emperor suddenly become less celibate towards her still made them somewhat jealous.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to say?"

Song Yi carefully chose his words and said, "His Majesty intends to disband the harem in the next two days."

".What?!"

Everyone was shocked.

"You need not be so alarmed. His Majesty and I have already discussed this matter. Of course, disbanding the harem does not mean that you will be forcibly expelled from the palace. All the choices are in your own hands. You can either return to the palace to be with your families, or you can stay in the palace. Your status is inconvenient, but you will still be served by others. However, you will no longer be His Majesty's concubines, nor will you live in the harem."

"This"

The news came so suddenly that no one knew how to react.
