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

Chapter 27 Moving Out, Linfang Palace
Jiang Lanye casually said, "Alright, then hurry up and get lost."

Song Yi lowered her brows and said together with Consort Xiao, "This concubine takes her leave."

Shortly after the two left the Golden Palace, Jiang Lanye threw the memorial in his hand out of the palace.

Eunuch Cao was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly ran over to pick it up.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Even this servant can see that since Your Majesty cares about Consort Song, why must you do this?"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Lanye glanced at him sideways and said unhappily, "Who told you that I care about her?"

Eunuch Cao was speechless with emotion. “It was my fault for speaking out of turn, but Consort Xiao is arrogant and domineering. If she is not severely punished today, she will probably become even more outrageous in the future. It is really hard for Consort Song to live with Consort Xiao.”

Jiang Lanye watched coldly as he picked up the memorial and placed it on the table, then suddenly asked, "What, when did you become so concerned about her?"

Eunuch Cao quickly explained, "This servant sees that Consort Song can please His Majesty, so I can't bear to see His Majesty and Consort Song having any disagreements."

Jiang Lanye lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "She is the one who wants to leave, and she is the one who doesn't need me to make decisions for her."

"So, whether she's suffering or not, it's all her own doing."

After saying that, he picked up his pen again and opened the memorial.

Seeing that he didn't want to listen to him anymore, Eunuch Cao sighed silently and withdrew quietly.

Inside the Leisure Moon Pavilion.

Consort Xiao walked quickly ahead of Song Yi, and as soon as she stepped into the palace gate, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Song Yi ignored her and walked straight to the door.

"Oh dear, some people thought His Majesty cared about her a lot, but it turns out that when she came to the Golden Palace with me, His Majesty didn't punish me, and she didn't get any benefits either. It's really laughable."

Song Yi pushed open the door, and the palace maids had already taken out the bedding, which had been soaked with cold water, to air it out. They quickly replaced it with a new quilt.

Ignoring Xiao Jieyu's chattering outside the door, she sat blankly on the edge of the bed, her brows furrowed, lost in thought.

Xichun thought she was sad, so she gently comforted her: "Don't be sad, Consort. In fact, His Majesty gave you a way out today, which shows that His Majesty can still be soft-hearted."

However, Song Yi did not go down the steps.

Song Yi suddenly said, "Xichun, I need to find a way to leave as soon as possible."

Xichun was taken aback and stammered, "What...what do you mean by leaving? Where are you going, Cainu?"

What Song Yi just said refers to leaving this world.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she blurted out these words to Xichun.

Coming to her senses, she quickly tried to cover it up: "What I meant was, how to leave Xianyue Pavilion. If I continue to live in the same palace as Consort Xiao, I'm afraid she will cause me trouble every day."

Xi Chun nodded in agreement and said earnestly, "However, if we want to change palaces, His Majesty will have to give the order first."

Song Yi pinched her brow, shouting in her heart countless times, but the system that had once lingered in her mind was nowhere to be found.

She suddenly panicked.

It feels like I've truly become an ordinary person, completely integrated into this world, with no way to go back, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death here.

She said helplessly, "Xichun, you should go out first. I want to sleep for a while."

Xiao Jieyu was tired of talking and returned to her room in high spirits.

Xichun said helplessly, "Then Cai Nu should rest well."

After Xichun left, Song Yi suddenly stood up and laboriously began to peruse the few books in the room, muttering, "These books couldn't possibly record any strange or unusual events." After searching for a long time without success, she had no choice but to lie back down.

Around noon, there was movement outside the door again.

Xiao Jieyu's personal maid had just finished washing Xiao Jieyu's underwear and was about to hang it up when she saw Xichun standing there blocking her way. She walked over and bumped into her hard.

Xichun cried out in pain, rubbing her shoulder.

"what you do!"

The palace maid raised her chin and looked at her arrogantly: "What are you doing blocking my way? Just like your mistress, you're so annoying and an eyesore, ptooey!"

After she finished cursing, she reached out and shoved Xichun hard, saying, "Get out of my way! You're blocking my way."

Xichun couldn't swear. When she got angry, all she could do was stare at her with red eyes, unable to say a word.

After hanging up the clothes, the palace maid gave her a disapproving look and went back.

Song Yi had taken a nap and was now awake. She pushed open the door and walked to Xi Chun's side, whispering, "If you ever encounter someone so arrogant again, don't try to reason with her. Just slap her and see if she dares to be so cocky again."

Xichun was taken aback and asked nervously, "Did Cainu hear what she just said?"

Song Yi nodded indifferently.

Suddenly, she thought of something, and a sly smile appeared on her face. She whispered to Xichun, "Go to the imperial kitchen and quietly bring back a bucket of the swill they don't want."

Xichun glanced at the freshly washed clothes in front of her and understood.

Sure enough, Cai Nu was still the same Cai Nu, unwilling to suffer any loss.

Xi Chun chuckled to herself and quickly ran out.

The midday sun is the strongest, and thin, close-fitting clothes dry quickly.

When Xichun returned, Song Yi personally carried it over. Judging that Xiao Jieyu hadn't moved at this hour, she must be catching up on sleep, so she unceremoniously poured a bucket of oily swill onto her.

After making such a fuss last night, it's no wonder she's sleepy today.

The taste of the water was truly indescribable. Song Yi couldn't help but cough twice, then quickly hid the empty bucket and pulled Xi Chun back into the house.

Song Yi ate his lunch as if nothing had happened.

The palace servants in the imperial kitchen were also opportunistic. In the past, Song Yi always dined with Jiang Lanye and ate very well. Now, the food given to her was not even as good as that of a concubine.

Song Yi had a small appetite. She had just put down her chopsticks after a few bites when Consort Xiao's maid pushed open the door. In a good mood, she was humming a song as she prepared to put the clothes away, but the stench made her unable to open her eyes.

Consort Xiao also woke up, and just as she sat up, she heard the palace maids calling outside the door.

She said irritably, "What's all the noise about! What's there to yell about!"

The palace maids fell silent again.

Xiao Jieyu found it strange, so she put on her shoes and hurriedly came out. She immediately noticed that her light pink undergarment was covered with large and small stains, and there was a puddle of dark water on the ground with a few insects circling around her clothes.

A gust of wind blew, and the stench so strong that she couldn't help but take two steps back, screaming, "These are my clothes?!"

The light pink undergarment was made of smooth material, and felt light and cool to wear; it was her favorite garment.

The palace maid panicked and explained, "Your Highness, I washed it clean for you! It was fine when I dried it."

Without her saying a word, Xiao Jieyu gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke. She rushed to Song Yi's door and raised her hand to push it open.
