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

Chapter 329 A Trip Outside the Palace
Song Yi wasn't in a hurry. She slowly took a sip of tea, listened to the whispers below, and waited for them to make their choice.

After a while, seeing that they still hadn't reached a conclusion, she added:
"Furthermore, if you do not choose to leave the palace, you will be like you are now, unable to leave the palace unless necessary, and your family members will not be allowed to enter the palace. However, if you choose to leave the palace and stay with your family, His Majesty will give you the rewards you deserve."

Soon, someone stood up first: "Your Majesty, this concubine will not leave."

Some parents send their daughters into the imperial harem not so that their daughters can live a life of wealth and luxury, but simply for the title of "their daughter has entered the palace and become a mistress".

If I go home, I'm afraid I won't be well received.

"Your Majesty, even though His Majesty will no longer regard me as his concubine in the future, I am still willing to stay in the palace."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to leave the palace to fulfill my filial duties."

Seeing that they had all spoken, Song Yi instructed Xi Chun to write them down. After a while, she said, "Alright, I have written down all your thoughts. When His Majesty finishes court, I will tell him that you plan to leave the palace. You can go back and pack your things today."

The group was somewhat taken aback: "So fast?"

"In two days, I will be leaving the palace with His Majesty. Today is the last chance, so you all need to think it over carefully."

When Jiang Lan returned from court that night, Song Yi handed him a piece of paper: "Take a look, I've written it all down, those who want to leave the palace and those who want to stay."

He casually took it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but laugh.

Song Yi slammed the brush on the table angrily: "What's so funny?"

He said with a hint of helplessness, "After not letting you write for so long, it's obvious to the naked eye that you've regressed to your original state."

Song Yi: "."

"Actually, in my world, my handwriting is quite neat. It's just that this kind of pen is too difficult to use. I haven't practiced it specifically, so it's already quite difficult for people to understand what I write."

He smiled and said jokingly, "Yes, thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

Song Yi snorted lightly: "Alright, my task is complete. Now it's up to you."

Jiang Lanye placed the paper on the table. "Come here."

Song Yi walked over and threw herself into his arms.

She smelled sweet and soft, and Jiang Lanye held her for a long time before stroking her hair: "Now you can start preparing what you need to take when you leave the palace. After all, the palace servants don't know your plans, so there may be oversights."

"So, are you going to start getting busy?"

"Ah."

Song Yi couldn't help but hug Jiang Lanye tightly: "You've worked hard. Now that you're out of the palace, you can relax a bit. It feels like I've never seen you relax in all this time."

"By the way, besides the two of us, should we also bring Xichun and Eunuch Cao?"

"Correct."

Song Yi immediately let go of Jiang Lanye: "That's great! I'm going to find Xichun. She's very thoughtful. With her around, I'm sure I won't forget anything."

Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Lanye stopped her again.

"After you leave the palace, you can no longer wear these clothes. Some of them are too flamboyant and eye-catching. The palace servants from the Imperial Wardrobe will bring you new clothes in a little while."

"understood."

Two days later.

Song Yi suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand, and yanked the blanket off forcefully: "Jiang Lanye—!! We're leaving the palace, get up, get up quickly."

Jiang Lanye reached out and embraced her, leaning in to kiss her lips, his voice low and husky: "Okay."

Someone was exhausted during the coronation ceremony, but as soon as it was mentioned that they were leaving the palace, they were no longer tired at all.

Song Yi excitedly got out of bed, like a bird released from its cage.

She chose a light purple cross-neck dress, the color elegant and gentle, not flashy, but the fabric was very soft and comfortable. In order to conceal her identity, Song Yi did not let Xi Chun do any complicated hairstyle for her, but had Jiang Lanye come forward and carefully braid a side braid for her, which hung down in front of her left shoulder.

She also elegantly pinned two small flowers to her braid, and then secured them with a silver hairpin.

She applied only a light layer of lip rouge to brighten her complexion and looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction.

She looks like a young lady from a wealthy family; in any case, no one would guess her identity as someone in the palace.

"Jiang Lanye, come here again for a moment."

Jiang Lanye had just changed into his robes when he heard this, and before Song Yi could speak, he said directly, "It looks good."

Song Yi: "How did you know what I was going to ask?"

"I understand you."

She never fails to ask.

Song Yi stood up, turned her head, and her eyes lit up.

Having grown accustomed to seeing Jiang Lanye in his dragon robes, it was quite a sight to see him now dressed in ordinary clothes, looking like a refined and elegant young master from a wealthy family.

Song Yi straightened her skirt and walked up to him: "Okay, I feel like we're the kind of people who sneak out for a secret rendezvous."

Jiang Lanye took her hand: "Secret rendezvous? We even had a wedding ceremony for the Emperor and Empress, isn't that perfectly legitimate?"

When the two went out, Xichun and Eunuch Cao were waiting outside, along with two guards who were sitting in the carriage.

Song Yi looked Cao Gonggong up and down and couldn't help but complain, "Cao Gonggong, you look very haggard."

"Ah? This servant even specially chose a particularly dignified outfit."

She immediately raised her hand: "Wait, I think we should change how we address each other now. You can no longer refer to yourself as a servant."

"Oh yes, yes."

Song Yi looked at Jiang Lanye with a smile: "Someone can no longer refer to himself as 'I,' otherwise others would be terrified if they heard it."

Jiang Lanye looked at her: "What do you plan to call me?"

"Isn't Jiang Lanye acceptable?"

He raised an eyebrow slightly: "Just a reminder, Jiang is the surname of the royal family. If people call you that in public, I'm afraid they'll..."

Song Yi stroked his chin: "Yeah, there's still a risk in calling you by your name. So what should we call you?"

Jiang Lanye said without changing his expression, "Just to remind you, we just got married yesterday."

Song Yi glanced at him, then suddenly tiptoed closer: "Husband?"

He smiled and said, "Yes, my husband is here. Let's go."

Song Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

All this roundabout talk was just to get her to call him "husband."

The carriage was exceptionally large and spacious inside. Because Song Yi was pregnant, there was a thick cushion placed on her seat.

Jiang Lanye looked at her and said seriously, "You are pregnant. We are only traveling in the capital this time and cannot go far, otherwise I will not be at ease."

"I know, hey, did you forget again?"

Jiang Lanye: "I'm worried about you."
