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

Chapter 125 The Scumbag Emperor Refuses to Give Her a Title

Tao Zhaoyi was surprised that Lou Suyue would say such a thing.

They only stand on the same side because of shared interests; their so-called sisterhood is nothing but a fig leaf.

However, Lou Suyi and Lou Suyue are indeed sisters, and Lou Suyue may have a chance to gain custody of the imperial heir.

"Master Kongchen has not yet given birth to an imperial heir, so everything is still undecided. If His Majesty allows Master Kongchen to return to secular life and also grants her a title, then there is nothing else for others to do." As Consort Tao said this, she noticed that Lou Suyue's expression was not very pleasant.

No wonder the information she found out was that Lou Suying had no presence in the Lou family. Even when Lou Suying had her accident five years ago, no one in the Lou family seemed to be sad.

Lou Suyue is now worried that Lou Suyi will not be able to raise the child herself, but the emperor's heart is unpredictable. Who knows if His Majesty will show special favor to Lou Suyi?
From Lou Suyue's confident tone when she spoke about raising the imperial heir, it was clear that Lou Suyue looked down on Lou Suyi from the bottom of her heart. Even though Lou Si was pregnant with the imperial heir, Lou Suyue was certain that Lou Suyi would not amount to anything.

But she thought that Lou Suyi was doing very well.

Yesterday was the Empress Dowager's birthday, and His Majesty, such a cold-hearted man, took great care of Lou Suying. Although it is unknown how long the Emperor's favor will last, or whether it is only because of his concern for the imperial heir, at least the current situation is extremely favorable to Lou Suying.

Lou Suyue was unaware of Tao Zhaoyi's thoughts, but she did indeed look down on Lou Suyi, this illegitimate daughter, believing that her half-sister had climbed into the emperor's bed through seductive means.

His Majesty's favor towards Lou Suyi is likely just out of curiosity.

The reason His Majesty is treating Lou Suyi better right now is simply because she has gained status through her son.

If Lou Suyi hadn't been pregnant with the imperial heir, and His Majesty's attention had been drawn to the child in this woman's womb, he wouldn't have failed to see the many young and beautiful concubines in the harem.

“Sister Tao is overthinking it. If His Majesty wanted Fourth Sister to return to secular life, he would have issued an imperial decree long ago. Now that the child is about to be born, His Majesty has not issued a decree yet, which shows that His Majesty only values ​​the imperial heir!” Lou Suyue insisted on her thoughts.

Tao Zhaoyi smiled enigmatically: "I hope so."

She felt that His Majesty also valued Lou Suyi.

At the very least, among so many beauties in the harem, including Liang Wanying and the once most favored Consort De, both of whom enjoyed immense prestige, they never even had the chance to serve the emperor.

His Majesty chose Lou Suyi as his concubine, which shows that Lou Suyi has something that attracts His Majesty.

She believed that if a man liked a woman's body, it meant that the woman was attractive to him.

No matter how high their rank or how much favor they received, Consort De and Liang Wanying never even had the chance to serve the emperor.

She recalled that every time His Majesty went to Quanfu Palace, the Empress Dowager always had Lou Suying accompany him, clearly intending for Lou Suying to prevent Liang Wanying from serving him in bed, and she had succeeded every time.

This shows that the Empress Dowager's methods were effective, and also demonstrates Lou Suyi's skill.

It's laughable that Lou Suyue has a deep prejudice against Lou Suyi and can't see through the intricacies of the situation.

"Sister Tao, don't think too much. Once Fourth Sister gives birth, we'll find a way to take over the custody of the imperial heir. Fourth Sister won't be a threat to us," Lou Suyue said confidently.

Tao Zhaoyi neither confirmed nor denied, thus letting the matter drop.

Inside Xianfu Palace, Lou Suying touched her pregnant belly, inwardly marveling at how she was carrying a golden nugget. Even before the child was born, everyone was already eyeing it.

The most ridiculous thing is that Lou Suyue, a mere concubine, dared to covet the imperial heir. Although she didn't let Lou Suyue in, Lou Suyue's mention of the imperial heir was clearly an attempt to steal her child.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became!

She's the one bearing the child, so why does everyone treat her, their own mother, like she's dead? Does she really intend to abandon her child and leave the palace to live a carefree life?
Jinshu saw Lou Suying pacing back and forth in the room, her brows furrowed, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Miss?"

"I'm angry!" Lou Suyi's expression was not good.

Jinshu pressed further, "Is it because many concubines came today that they made you unhappy, Miss?"

Lou Suyi was about to reply when she remembered that Jinshu was sent by Murong, so she swallowed her words back.

Everyone knew she had no official status. Before the child in her womb was revealed, she was only Murong's secret lover, not even a mistress.

But the concubines who came today were all women of official rank under Murong. If this nun were to speak ill of his women, it might displease the emperor.

"No, it's just that pregnant women are always a little unhappy for a couple of hours," Lou Suyi sighed softly.

Originally, she didn't want to enter Murong's harem, nor did she want any rank, but reality is cruel. Without a proper title, she wouldn't be able to raise her child legitimately.

She didn't want her child, whom she had gone through so much to give birth to, to be taken away by another woman. Why should she, the biological mother, be alive while her child has to find a stepmother?

If the child is raised by a kind-hearted woman, it's fine, but if it's raised by a treacherous woman like Lou Suyue or Liang Wanying, the child might be abused.

The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, wondering to herself, "What kind of mess is this?"

Last time, Murong got angry because she wanted to leave the palace. He said he would personally send her back to Lotus Temple after she gave birth. If that happened, her child would fall into the hands of another woman.

Murong Zhenzhen is a ruthless scumbag; how could he treat his savior like this?

If he dares to take her child away, she'll fight him to the death!
Lou Suyi thought it over and over and suddenly realized that there was only one way to go: to stay in the harem and obtain the rank of a ninth concubine or higher, so that she would have the opportunity to raise the child herself.

But that scumbag Murong didn't even intend to make her return to secular life, so how could he give her a title? That scumbag clearly just wanted to take advantage of her for free.

If Murong drives her out of the palace after she gives birth, she'll have no choice but to ask Empress Dowager Chen for help.

As far as Empress Dowager Chen was concerned, she still had some value to her, simply because Liang Wanying was a thorn in her side that she could not remove.

The thought that she could rely on Empress Dowager Chen reassured her somewhat. From now on, she would cultivate a good relationship with Empress Dowager Chen, since that scumbag Murong was unreliable anyway.

Lou Suyi had nightmares all night.

Every time she closed her eyes, she dreamt of Liang Wanyi, Consort De, and Lou Suyue, those three women grinning menacingly at her. And on the very day she gave birth, they snatched her child away. She was no match for the three women's combined attack, and in the end, she could only watch helplessly as they took her precious baby away.

She woke up crying from a nightmare; it was already daylight.

Jinshu and Yanhui rushed in when they heard her screams. They both breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that she had just had a nightmare.

They were terrified. The girl's screams had been so shrill that they thought something had happened to the imperial heir.

Jinshu was worried about Lou Suyi's mental state, so she specially asked Jili to invite Murong to Xianfu Palace.
