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

Chapter 119 Her womb carries my blood and flesh
As soon as Liang Wanying said this, everyone's eyes fell on Lou Suyi.

Princess Nan'an was completely bewildered. Seeing Lou Suyi's helpless expression, she felt sorry for Lou Suyi.

Furthermore, she simply didn't believe that Lou Suyi, a nun, could be pregnant.

After all, there is only one man in the palace, the emperor. If Lou Suyi gets pregnant, wouldn't she be the heir to the throne?

This is absolutely impossible.

Thinking of this, Princess Nan'an smiled to ease the atmosphere: "Consort Hui must be overthinking it. Abbess Kongchen is a nun, how could she possibly be pregnant?!"

Liang Wanying had already noticed Lou Suying's guilty expression. The Princess of Nan'an was still nagging on and on, and Liang Wanying, overcome with anger, snapped, "Shut up!"

Princess Nan'an was momentarily embarrassed, but since it was the Emperor's birthday, she couldn't lash out.

Seeing that Lou Suying didn't respond, Liang Wanying asked in a deep voice, "Lou Suying, is my question so difficult to answer?!"

Lou Suyi was inwardly distressed. For a nun like her to become pregnant was truly a grave mistake, and certainly not something to be proud of.

So what is she doing at Christmas? Being surrounded by so many people.

Just as she was feeling down, Murong suddenly took her hand in public and smiled slightly: "Suyi is indeed pregnant, and the child in her womb is my own."

The moment Murong held Lou Suyi's hand in public, all the concubines present felt their hearts sink. What's more, he announced in public that Lou Suyi was not only pregnant, but also carrying the imperial heir.

The scene was deathly silent, except for Empress Dowager Chen, whose voice trembled with excitement: "Is it true?!"

“How could your son joke about royal blood?” Murong turned to look at Lou Suyi. “Today is Mother’s birthday, and I think this birthday gift will make Mother happy.”

Empress Dowager Chen was beaming from ear to ear, repeatedly saying, "Good, good, good! I really like the Emperor's birthday gift."

She then looked at Lou Suyi, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, and grew to like her more and more: "Suyi, you have worked hard carrying the imperial heir. I will reward you handsomely!"

Lou Suying couldn't be happy about the reward, because from today onwards, she would be the enemy of all the concubines in the harem, and the child in her womb would also become their primary target for elimination.

When Princess Nan'an heard Murong admit that Lou Suyi was carrying the imperial heir, she was no longer so happy when she looked at the child in her own arms.

Originally, the couple thought that Murong's lack of an heir was a problem. Even if he became emperor, the country would be unstable without an heir. Who would have thought that the emperor would get a nun pregnant?

Liang Wanying, however, felt humiliated.

She was clearly the most important woman in the harem, the one whom Murong defied the world to make a concubine. Yet, Murong humiliated her in front of so many people by getting a nun pregnant with the emperor's child.

Where does this leave her to save face?
Just then, Empress Dowager Chen looked over and said with a half-smile, "Now Consort Hui knows the answer. From now on, you must treat Su Yi well. The imperial heir in her womb is precious and cannot be lost."

Liang Wanying, who was used to being arrogant, looked extremely unpleasant at this moment.

Empress Dowager Chen sneered inwardly, then looked at the other concubines who looked as if they had lost their parents and said, "Su Yi is carrying the Emperor's first child. From now on, everyone must treat Su Yi well and not let her suffer the slightest grievance. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Since Su Yi currently has no official rank, and she doesn't know if the emperor intends to bestow one upon her, she must give these concubines a warning to prevent them from using their rank to suppress or harm Su Yi and the unborn child in her womb.

The concubines hated Lou Suyi to the core, but under the watchful eye of Empress Dowager Chen, they all agreed.

Afterwards, everyone present was in low spirits, especially Murong, who held Lou Suyi's hand the entire time; this intimate gesture made the concubines feel as if the sky had fallen. Liang Wanying also quieted down.

She had always thought that once she re-entered Murong's harem, this harem would be her domain, but now she needed to reassess her position.

She really couldn't understand when Lou Suyi had climbed into the emperor's bed.

She hadn't been in the palace for long, and Lou Suying already had a baby bump at the Mid-Autumn Festival chrysanthemum appreciation party, though it wasn't very obvious at the time. Now that her belly is so big, it means that Lou Suying had already climbed into the emperor's bed before she returned to the palace.

No wonder she felt that Lou Suyi was too charming and restless when she first met her. As it turned out, her intuition was right.

It's infuriating that this nun actually slept with the emperor before her and even became pregnant with his child.

For the past two months, Murong has forbidden anyone from going to Xianfu Palace, which suggests that he is helping Lou Suyi cover up the truth.

If Liang Wanying was feeling deeply troubled, Consort De was no less so.

Therefore, all the doubts were explained.

That time, when Murong went to Qiushui Residence with Lou Suyi by his side, Lou Suyi had already served him in bed, right?
There were also several other times when Murong lingered in Xianfu Palace for extended periods, likely while he was with this restless nun.

It's hateful that she's followed Murong for so many years without ever having the chance to serve him in bed, how come Lou Suying got the first opportunity?
Lou Suyi only appeared this year, but she has been by Murong's side for several years. Murong has pampered her in every way over the years, so how come she doesn't even have the chance to serve him in bed?

She let out a long breath and turned her head to see Lou Suyue's gloomy face.

Lou Suyue sensed Consort De's gaze, looked over, and then casually looked away.

She was extremely depressed.

It should be noted that Lou Suyi, the illegitimate daughter, was a dispensable figure in the Lou family. Even her biological mother, Aunt Ke, did not treat Lou Suyi as her daughter. When the news spread that Lou Suyi had fallen into a sea of ​​fire and her body was never found, Aunt Ke only shed a few tears before returning to normal.

How could a concubine's daughter, who was neither loved by her father nor her mother, be willing to be overshadowed by Lou Suyi?
No wonder Lou Suying ignored her after she entered the palace; it turns out Lou Suying had already slept with the emperor.

She stared intently at Lou Suyi's belly, wishing that staring long enough would make Lou Suyi's pregnant belly disappear.

Afterwards, more noblewomen from outside the palace came to Shou'an Palace. Lady Yin came, Lady Chi came, and Lou Suya also came to the palace to wish Empress Dowager Chen a happy birthday.

When Empress Dowager Chen told her that Lou Suying was pregnant with the imperial heir, Lady Chi was overjoyed and immediately congratulated Empress Dowager Chen.

Consort De stared intently at Lady Chi.

She had been at odds with Lady Chi even before she was married, and after entering the palace, Lady Chi still tried to hurt her feelings.

Of course, Lady Chi also sensed Consort De's gaze, but she pretended not to notice.

Yin Shi didn't show it on her face, but she was very anxious inside.

Her first thought was of her youngest daughter, Lou Suyue.

Although Su Yue has entered the palace, she has not gained the emperor's favor. Meanwhile, the concubine's daughter, whom she despised the most, has received the emperor's favor and is pregnant with his child.

If she were to give birth to a prince, Lou Suying would truly rise in status because of her son.
