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

Chapter 354 Extra Chapter: Transmigration 4
Jiang Lanye lay down stiffly, pulling a corner of the blanket over her stomach.

Seeing this, Song Yi immediately moved closer to him, stretched out her small hand and tried her best to pull the quilt over to cover him: "Cover yourself up, don't catch a cold."

As she leaned closer, her unique fragrance instantly enveloped us. Her body was warm, and our arms accidentally touched, feeling soft and warm.

Jiang Lanye lay on the bed like a solid wooden board, without uttering a word.

"Brother Lanye, if I get scared at night, can I hold you?"

".no."

"Why? I already told you, I am your future empress."

Jiang Lanye's voice was muffled: "But we're not yet. Since you've said that, I will marry you in the future, but for now you are my sister."

"Then you are my brother. If your sister is scared, what's wrong with her sleeping while hugging her brother?"

Jiang Lanye was speechless.

Seeing that he couldn't speak, Song Yi snuggled up to him with complete ease, resting her head on his neck, draping her arms over his chest, and crossing her legs around his waist, treating him like a big doll.

After a night.

The Empress was still somewhat worried about the two children's relationship, so she quietly pushed open the door and came in. She was stunned by what she saw on the bed.

The two little ones were sleeping soundly.

Jiang Lanye lay on her back properly, breathing steadily.

Little Song Yi practically clung to him, her little face flushed and a satisfied smile on her lips.

Jiang Lanye's brows and eyes relaxed, showing no discomfort. He even unconsciously placed one hand lightly on Song Yi's back, adopting a protective posture.

The Empress was initially surprised by the sight of the two animals huddling together for warmth, but then a gentle smile spread across her eyes.

She gently shook her head, carefully tucked the blankets around them, and then quietly slipped out.

After a while, the two woke up almost at the same time. Song Yi stretched lazily in bed and yawned: "Brother Lan Ye, do you see that I was right? There really were no ghosts coming to find us."

".Um."

When Jiang Lanye got up, he looked at Song Yi with her messy hair and found it funny: "Little sister, your hair is very unkempt right now."

Song Yi casually reached out and touched it: "Do you have a comb?"

Jiang Lanye got up and found a comb. He saw Song Yi swaying over as if in a dream, then plopped down on the low stool in front of him and ordered with a clear conscience, "Comb my hair."

He was a little stunned.

Then, he carefully combed Song Yi's hair for a while.

Jiang Lanye had never combed a girl's hair before, so his movements were a bit clumsy. After combing for a while, he finally said, "It's done."

Song Yi looked in the mirror.

Yeah, it's really ugly.

However, Jiang Lanye's skills improved over time.

After the two finished washing up, Jiang Lanye took the initiative to say, "Let's go have breakfast."

Upon arriving at the main hall, Song Yi was surprised to find another child there.

Jiang Lanye said in a low voice, "This is my imperial brother."

She is only two years younger than Jiang Lanye.

He was somewhat surprised to see Song Yi.

Song Yi had very mixed feelings and slowly walked over.

The Empress looked at the three children with a smile: "Little Song Yi, I wish you were also my child. I didn't expect Ye'er to like you so much."

Song Yi smiled shyly.

After breakfast, the Empress forbade Jiang Lanye from reading anymore, telling him to relax for the day. So, Song Yi held his hand and played with him wildly for half a day. By noon, he was sleepy and went back to his room for a nap.

When I opened my eyes again, Jiang Lanye was not there.

She walked out somewhat dazed, but did not see the Empress.

Recalling what happened this morning, she felt a vague unease for some reason.

All she knew was that the Empress died when Jiang Lanye was young, but she didn't know exactly how old Jiang Lanye was, what day it was, or what made that day different.

Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat.

She ran forward in a hurry and accidentally bumped into a palace maid.

The palace maid cried out, "Be careful!"

Song Yi looked at her and asked, "Where is the Empress?"

"Her Majesty was taking a nap in her bedchamber just now. His Majesty has gone there. What are you going to do?"

That's right, the location matches up. Jiang Lanye had told her before that his father, the emperor, listened to the words of a treacherous minister, got drunk, and barged into the empress's bedchamber.
Song Yi shook her head blankly, and when no one was paying attention, she hurriedly ran to the Empress's bedroom.

Even though the past cannot be changed, she still wants to do something.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the entrance of the bedchamber, she heard sounds coming from inside.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Is our long-standing friendship really worth less than a few words from a treacherous official of the previous dynasty?"

Jiang Lanye's voice rang out from the side: "Father, please don't be angry!"

"Shut up, all of you!"

He was drunk and staggering. Looking at the Empress kneeling before him, gazing at her gentle features, he chuckled, "Empress, you have truly disappointed me."

".His Majesty!"

Immediately afterwards, the golden sword in his hand was drawn, and before anyone could react, there was a "whoosh" sound.

The golden sword pierced through the empress's body without mercy.

Song Yi was so frightened that she almost screamed. She hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, her whole body trembling, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.

The color drained from Jiang Lanye's face instantly, and his pupils constricted sharply.

His mouth was open, but no sound came out; it felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat. His blood seemed to freeze instantly, and his limbs were so cold and stiff he couldn't move.

"Mother?"

With another sound, the golden sword was swiftly pulled out, and spurting blood sprayed out, some of it landing on Jiang Lanye's face.

"what--"

The palace servants inside screamed in terror, and the maids and eunuchs rushed out in a panic.

He watched helplessly as the light in his mother's gentle eyes faded rapidly, her body went limp and she collapsed. She stared wide-eyed at Jiang Lanye, wanting to open her mouth, but unable to utter a single word.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes and fell silent.

Beside him, his younger brother collapsed and rushed over, kneeling before the Empress, crying and shaking her: "Mother, Mother, wake up, Mother!"

Jiang Lanye collapsed to the ground, trembling as he stared at the bloodstains spreading across the floor tiles. He was in a daze, curling himself into a ball with his hands over his head, the piercing cries of the palace servants and his brother ringing in his ears.

Immediately afterwards, his younger brother turned around and knelt down in front of him, his little hands gripping his arm tightly, crying out in despair:

"Brother, why didn't you protect Mother? Why!"

Song Yi took two steps back.

All matched.

Even the words they said were exactly the same.
