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

Chapter 127 Betraying one's master is a crime deserving of death!
Lou Suying looked at Murong, her eyes blazing like fire: "Really?!"

Murong's thin lips parted slightly: "A ruler's words are not to be taken lightly! How could I possibly joke about such a matter concerning the imperial heir?"

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

After all, he was the emperor, and when he spoke, it was a so-called imperial edict.

Lou Suying was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Murong ask, "What, you're not planning to leave the palace?"

Lou Suyi was still somewhat unwilling.

She longed for a free life, but she couldn't abandon her child and leave the palace. If it weren't for the child, she would naturally want to leave the treacherous inner palace.

She had nothing to hesitate about at the moment, so she stopped being coy and solemnly said, "I want to stay in the palace, but I must raise the child myself. No matter what happens in the future, Your Majesty must not allow anyone else to take my child away."

Between freedom and her child, she chose her child.

She didn't know what choices others would make, but she certainly wouldn't abandon her own flesh and blood.

Murong nodded slightly: "I can promise you that, and I will not go back on my word."

Lou Suyi breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved of a worry.

Murong pinched her cheek, then suddenly realized: "Your nightmares are because of the baby?"

Lou Suyi thought of the nightmare she had last night, but decided it was better not to mention it; she felt suffocated just thinking about the scene in the dream.

"I can't remember what I dreamt about last night. Since Your Majesty is here, why don't you have lunch before you leave?" Lou Suyi said, then suddenly felt a little annoyed.

She still came to this point.

She would never have thought of pleasing Murong before, but because she now has a weakness, and the emperor's favor is the foundation for her and her child's foothold in the harem, she cannot afford to offend the emperor.

It's so pathetic that she's fallen into this trap; from now on, it'll be impossible for her to stay out of it.

"I'll accompany you for a walk," Murong said, helping Lou Suyi to her feet.

Lou Suying's body is becoming increasingly cumbersome, but she is young and strong, and she takes good care of herself. She feels that everything is fine for now.

But Murong still worried when he saw her big belly: "Won't it be very hard?"

Lou Suying followed Murong's gaze to her large belly, shook her head and replied, "The baby is very well-behaved, and everything is fine so far."

"If you feel unwell, be sure to tell someone. Your safety and the child's safety are the most important things," Murong instructed.

Lou Suyi smiled and said, "I cherish my life the most, so of course I won't hide anything if I feel unwell."

Murong still had a lot of government affairs to handle, but he still accompanied Lou Suyi for lunch before returning to Qianqing Palace.

Lou Suyi watched the imperial procession disappear into the distance, then suddenly sighed again.

When she first entered the palace, she certainly wouldn't have believed that one day she would willingly stay in the palace.

"His Majesty dotes on you so much, why are you sighing?" Yan Hui didn't quite understand.

Lou Suyi smiled and asked, "Does His Majesty favor me?"

Why can't she feel it?

Furthermore, the emperor's so-called favor may be given to you today, but it may be given to someone else tomorrow.

Just like Consort De, who was once hailed as Murong's "white moonlight," or Liang Wanying, whom Murong insisted on making a concubine despite everyone's opposition. Now everyone is focused on her pregnancy, thinking she is favored, but in reality, her relationship with Murong is not what everyone thinks.

"Of course he dotes on you! His Majesty rarely visits the inner palace, but he comes to Xianfu Palace frequently. It's incredibly difficult for other concubines to see His Majesty, but as long as you ask, no matter how busy he is, he will come to see you," Yan Hui said enthusiastically.

Lou Suyi frowned upon hearing this and did not continue the topic.

She didn't feel that Murong treated her in any special way.

Two peaceful days passed. Then, Jinse suddenly came to Xianfu Palace and said to Lou Suyi in a mysterious tone, "This servant has something to say to the abbess alone."

Lou Suyi knew from the beginning that Jinse harbored deep hostility towards her. Now that she was heavily pregnant, she dared not be alone with Jinse.

"Just say what you have to say. Jinshu and the others are our own people, there's no need to avoid it." Lou Suying said calmly.

Jinse didn't expect Lou Suyi to be so direct, but she was unwilling to give up and whispered again, "This servant has something very important to tell the nun, and it is not appropriate for others to be present."

Jinshu was eavesdropping when Lou Suyi looked over, and she awkwardly forced a smile.

Lou Suyi said calmly, "I thought I had made myself very clear. Jinshu and Yanhui are both on our side, so there's no need to avoid them!"

What important matter could Jinse possibly have? He's just trying to harm her.

Having no other choice, Jinse secretly slipped a letter into Lou Suyi's arms, whispering, "This letter must not be seen by anyone."

Lou Suyi stepped back instead, and didn't take the letter; it simply fell to the ground.

Jinse was surprised that Lou Suyi did not accept the letter. When she saw Jinshu pick up the letter, she panicked a little. Just as she tried to take it back, Jinshu dodged her hand.

"Jinshu, check if the letter is poisoned!" Lou Suyi said solemnly.

It's no wonder she said that; Jinse definitely had such a motive.

Jinse's expression changed repeatedly, and she suddenly realized that she had oversimplified the matter.

She was too hasty. What should we do now?
Afterwards, Granny Shen entered and carefully examined the letter. Confirming that it was not poisoned, Jinshu opened the letter. When she saw that it was a man's handwriting, her expression changed slightly, and she looked at Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi took the letter and recognized Xie Zhijie's handwriting the moment she saw it.

Her face darkened as she looked at Jinse and shouted sternly, "When did you collude with Lord Xie? How dare you deliver letters for him?! Jinse, do you know that this is an act of treason, a crime deserving of death?!"

Jinse had already panicked. She just didn't expect that Lou Suyi didn't even have the most basic curiosity, didn't dismiss the others, and even revealed this matter in public.

She only wanted Xie Zhijie to take Lou Suyi, this scourge, out of the palace, and she also oversimplified everything.

"This servant did not betray His Majesty. It was Lord Xie who said he still harbored feelings for the Abbess, and seeing his deep affection for her, this servant helped him deliver the letter. This servant was also doing it for the Abbess's own good, fearing that the two lovers, the Abbess and Lord Xie, would miss each other, which would be such a pity..."

Before Jinse could finish speaking, Granny Shen suddenly slapped her hard across the face: "How dare you, you servant girl, fabricate something out of nothing?!"

Lou Suyi looked at everyone present and said, "You all saw what happened. It was Jinse who colluded with court officials to falsely accuse me."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Lou Suyi then said, "Jinse is, after all, a palace maid who serves the Emperor. Let His Majesty handle Jinse."

As for the contents of the letter, she knew it at a glance; it was nothing more than a request to help her leave the palace.

It's best if Murong doesn't see this letter, otherwise she won't be able to explain herself.

This chapter didn't get published, oh my god!
