Five years after her death, she awoke on the dragon bed.

Chapter 111 After the child is born, I can personally escort you back to the Lotus Nunnery.
Murong considered himself to be someone who had seen a lot in life, but even he didn't know how to react to such a scene.

Seeing Lou Suyi staring intently at him, her eyes seeming to want to devour him, he couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Murong laughing like that, Lou Suying immediately became furious: "When did you find out I was pregnant?!"

She thought she had kept it a secret and even planned to run away with the baby, but it turned out he already knew, and she was the only one still gloating.

"The day you refused to let Minister Liu examine you, that was the day I learned you were pregnant. Since you wanted to hide it, I'll let you have your way." Murong naturally couldn't hide it any longer, so she simply confessed honestly.

"You've been making a fool of me all along, haven't you?!" Lou Suyi was furious and swung her fist at Murong's chest.

Murong remained unperturbed, holding her fist: "It was my fault, but I only wanted you to have a healthy pregnancy, so I went along with your wishes and pretended not to know you were pregnant. It's normal for you to resent me, but please take care of your health."

Lou Suyi then remembered his identity as the emperor and awkwardly withdrew his fist.

She only gained status because of her son. Murong has no heir and is naturally worried about the child in her womb.

"Then you knew I was pregnant, yet you still pretended to be having an affair with me in public?" Lou Suyi retorted.

Murong looked intently at Lou Suyi's face and replied slowly, "It is a fact that I have an affair with you, there is no need to pretend. Besides, I am just giving everyone a little psychological preparation so that they can be mentally prepared. Our child will be born in a few months, and this matter will not be able to be kept secret then."

Lou Suyi thought there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Anyway, her belly was getting bigger, so she let everyone know beforehand that she and Murong had an illicit relationship. When people found out she was pregnant, the first thing they would think of was that the father of the child in her womb was Murong.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that Murong was a deep and calculating person who had his own plans for every step he took, unlike her who was single-minded.

It's perfectly normal that she'd be completely under Murong's control.

Lou Suyi looked down at her belly, which was indeed getting bigger and bigger.

She remembered that Murong had said he would keep her in the palace for two years. After two years, could she leave the palace? But what about her child?

She loves children so much, and it's impossible for her to take the children away. Will she be able to bear to leave them behind?
She suddenly realized that everything seemed to be under Murong's control.

"Did you deliberately get me pregnant?" Lou Suyi demanded angrily.

Murong chuckled lightly upon hearing this: "Does this need to be done on purpose?"

Lou Suyi was speechless. What did he mean?
Does he think his offspring are so superior that he can get her pregnant just by randomly planting seeds?
Then I thought about how her body was already damaged, and how Imperial Physician Liu had predicted that she would need several months of recuperation before she could conceive, but unexpectedly she suddenly became pregnant...

"His Majesty said he would keep me here for two years. After I give birth, can I leave the palace?" Lou Suyi was still unwilling and asked tentatively.

The smile on Murong's face faded: "I have said before that I dislike forcing people to do things against their will. When the time comes, you may leave the palace, but once you leave, do not even think about stepping back into the palace gates!"

Lou Suyi frowned deeply: "That child..."

Murong leaned closer to Lou Suyi, his warm breath brushing against her cheek, making Lou Suyi very uncomfortable.

The man then uttered the most callous words: "Children? Since you're leaving the palace, what use are children? They'll have nothing to do with you anyway. I'll find a stepmother for the children, so you can leave the palace without worry."

Lou Suyi pursed her lips, thinking to herself that the child hadn't even been born yet, and the man surnamed Mu was already thinking about finding a stepmother for the child. She had never seen such an annoying person.

If he weren't the emperor, she would have truly wanted to tear him apart. She forcefully pushed Murong away: "But it's my child..."

"Didn't you say you didn't want it and planned to leave the palace? Isn't it normal for me to find a stepmother for the child? Do you want your child to be an orphan?" Murong spoke calmly, looking at Lou Suyi as if she were looking at a heartless man.

Lou Suyi tentatively suggested, "Can't I take it with me?"

Murong gave her a cold look: "Lou Shi, do you think I would allow you to leave the palace with my child? How dare you take away the royal bloodline?!"

Lou Suyi's hands and feet were ice cold.

She knew it was unrealistic, but was she destined to be trapped in the deep palace for the rest of her life because of a child?

But she couldn't bring herself to abandon her child and leave.

She suddenly became angry and shoved Murong hard: "If you hadn't been lustful at first sight, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant. You have so many women in your harem, why did you have to choose me, a nun? It's all your fault!"

Murong looked at Lou Suyi with a cold gaze, his eyes filled with an unprecedented complexity.

Lou Suyi belatedly realized that he was the emperor, and she felt a little scared.

Having already faced death once, and having barely survived and now pregnant, she certainly didn't want to die another violent death.

"Once your child is born, I will not stop you from leaving if you wish, but you cannot take the child with you." Murong's eyes returned to calm. "Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. After the child is born, I can personally escort you back to the Lotus Nunnery."

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Lou Suyi curled her lips slightly, secretly thinking that the emperor had quite a plan.

They ruined her reputation and tried to take her child away, simply because they thought she was all alone and vulnerable and easy to bully.

Ji Qing saw the two arguing from afar, but he didn't know what they were arguing about. He only knew that His Majesty's mood had not improved.

Upon returning to the Qianqing Palace, everyone who had shown their face before His Majesty was reprimanded by him.

Those serving the emperor were in dire straits, fearing that a single misstep could cost them their heads.

Lou Suyi in Xianfu Palace was also in a bad mood. She felt that she was probably going to suffer in the palace until she grew old and died.

Otherwise, could she have abandoned her only child and left the palace? Not to mention that she only had this one child in the world, she had thought about loving the child well when she was pregnant. How could she bear to leave the child and go by herself?
But the imperial harem is a place that devours people, and she doesn't know what fate awaits her if she stays.

Her life path is so predictable, you can see the end from the beginning.

Seeing that Lou Suyi had a poor appetite, Granny Fan specially made some snacks and brought them to Lou Suyi.

Lou Suying sighed as she ate, "Do you think there's any hope for life in this palace?"

"Of course. It is our blessing to serve you well, Miss. You are carrying the imperial heir now, so don't have any wild thoughts. Just focus on having a healthy pregnancy," Granny Fan replied kindly.

His Majesty instructed before he left that the fact that the girl was pregnant had already been exposed, and there was no need to cover it up anymore.

Lou Suyi thought about it and realized it made sense, so she felt relieved: "You are content with what you have, and I should learn from you. As long as people don't have too many desires, there is hope for the future."
