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

Chapter 126 You and I were, in a way, a fleeting affair...

After Murong finished discussing government affairs with the cabinet members in the Southern Study, Ji Qing stepped forward and relayed Ji Li's report.

As it concerned the imperial heir, the Fourth Miss was not the type to use the heir to gain favor, so he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

As expected, after hearing that the Fourth Miss had a nightmare, the Emperor did not return to the Imperial Study to review memorials, but instead went to Xianfu Palace.

Lou Suyi was plagued by nightmares all night, didn't get enough rest, and had a poor appetite.

She ate a quick breakfast and was just about to go back to sleep when the young emperor arrived.

In truth, the emperor was the real culprit behind her nightmares.

She glanced at Murong resentfully; he looked respectable, but he didn't do anything right.

Murong received a suspicious look from Lou Suying and raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"

Looking at him with that resentful look, does she miss him?

Lou Suying sighed softly, "How could such an important figure as His Majesty find the time to come see me?"

Oh, no. The emperor wasn't looking at her; he was looking at the unborn child in her womb. She was just being delusional.

"Did I upset you?" Murong asked tentatively.

He hadn't seen her for a few days, and hadn't even spoken to her, so why would he have upset her for no reason?

This puzzled him.

"How could that be? Your Majesty is the ruler of the country; whatever you do is perfectly justified."

For example, he could seduce this nun, take advantage of her after she gave birth, and then kick her out of the palace.

Hearing Lou Suying's sarcastic words, Murong became even more certain of his guess. In the entire harem, only the little nun dared to be disrespectful to him.

"What did I do to upset you? You might as well tell me, and I might be able to change." Murong looked at her large belly and couldn't help but touch it.

Interestingly, the moment he touched her pregnant belly, the baby kicked into his palm. The child's personality might be like that of a little nun, quite lively.

It's better for the child to be like her; she has a likable personality.

Lou Suying wondered to herself if she could really tell those blunt truths. For example, that he was a complete scumbag, that he had taken advantage of her at first sight, making her the rival of all the concubines in the harem...

Murong seemed to see through the little nun's concerns and said calmly, "You should know that you are now favored because of your son. Even if you say something that displeases me, I can spare your life."

Lou Suyi opened her mouth, but decided she couldn't say "scumbag" to him. Once she gave birth, she wouldn't be able to rely on her child for status.

She stared at Murong for a long while before finally speaking softly, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and everything you do is right."

For example, not giving her a formal status, or leaving the child behind while the mother is gone.

She felt she had to be careful during childbirth, lest Murong suddenly find her an eyesore and cause her to have a massive hemorrhage, resulting in her giving birth and ultimately dying a violent death...

Seeing that Lou Suying was speaking in a formal tone, Murong asked indirectly, "Judging from your appearance, it seems you didn't sleep well last night? Did you have a nightmare?"

Lou Suyi was about to talk about the nightmare she had last night, but she stopped herself in time.

That's right, the emperor suddenly came to Xianfu Palace, could it be that someone complained to Murong?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, Murong usually wouldn't show up for ten days or half a month at a time; his sudden appearance today must mean someone had reported to him that she had been awakened from a nightmare.

However, this also shows that Murong values ​​the child in her womb very much, which is a blessing for the child.

"I can't remember the contents of my dream as soon as I open my eyes." Lou Suyi said as she got up and offered her seat to Murong, suddenly wanting to test Murong's thoughts.

Seeing Lou Suying's sudden attentiveness, Murong asked in a low voice, "Do you have something to ask of me?"

Lou Suyi asked directly, "I just want to ask, after the child is born, will His Majesty treat it well?"

Murong calmly said, "I will treat my children well. Of course, if a child is as dull as you, I will still have to take action."

Lou Suying was taken aback by his words: "Am I that stupid?"

Although she wasn't that smart, she wasn't stupid either, right? Judging from Murong's disdainful tone, she almost doubted that she really was stupid.

"Hmm, she's not particularly intelligent either." Murong touched Lou Suyi's pregnant belly again without thinking.

Lou Suyi took a deep breath and told herself that there was no need to lower herself to Murong's level.

But what does it mean to be not intelligent?
She's good-looking, why does she also need to be intelligent?
Realizing she'd been led astray by Murong, Lou Suying steered the conversation back to the main point: "The child will be born soon, and I'd like to ask about the rules of the harem. His Majesty seems to like this child; will he personally raise it?"

Her intention was to test Murong, to find out what he was really thinking, and whether he was already looking for a stepmother for her child.

If Murong Zhen intended to entrust the child to his concubines to raise, then she might as well ask Empress Dowager Chen for help.

Murong Shen glanced at Lou Suyi; it turned out the little nun was testing the custody of the child.

Meeting the little nun's eager gaze, he said calmly, "I am thirsty."

Lou Suyi was taken aback, finding the man surnamed Mu extremely annoying.

She said with a forced smile, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will go and bring you some tea."

Seeing her heavily pregnant belly, Murong took her hand and said, "Jinshu can go."

Lou Suyi then continued with her previous question: "His Majesty has not yet answered my question."

Murong didn't rush to answer. After Jinshu served tea, he took a sip and slowly said, "If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have thought about this. You've reminded me. If you want to leave the palace, I can't force you, but the child can't be left unattended. Who do you think would be a good caregiver?"

Lou Suyi glared at Murong, thinking to herself, "Why did this old fox throw the question back at me?"

She thinks no one is as good as her own mother. Is that something to be said?

Murong saw Lou Suyi purse her lips and remain silent for a long time. He took her hand and said, "You and I have been husband and wife for a while, and the child is my own flesh and blood. I can't treat the child badly. Besides, you are the child's biological mother, and I respect your wishes. You may choose someone. If the choice is acceptable, I will listen to you."

Lou Suyi felt that Murong's words sounded high-sounding, but in reality he still wanted to give her child to another woman to raise. What a heartless, scumbag emperor!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Just as she was burning with anger, Murong said again, "I am the ruler of a country, and I don't have that much time to take care of the child. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem for me to take him with me. I think it's best for the child to stay with his biological parents, but since you insist on leaving the palace, I can't stop you..."

Lou Suying's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "If I don't leave the palace, you'll let the child stay with me?!"

"Of course, you are the child's biological mother. If you don't leave the palace, you will raise the child yourself." Murong played with Lou Suyi's slender fingers, a faint smile curving her lips.

Haha
