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

Chapter 136 Unpredictable, a sudden push

Lou Suyi felt that this was probably what was meant by "wanting to find fault, one can always find a pretext."

Where the emperor, Murong, stays at night and which woman he favors is not something she can control.
Consort De is giving her far too much credit.

"Your Highness, Consort De, you flatter me. Whether His Majesty moves around in the inner palace is not something I can comment on. If Your Highness has any complaints about this, you should speak to His Majesty directly. I certainly wouldn't dare to say anything in front of His Majesty," Lou Suying replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Consort De felt that Lou Suyi was deliberately showing off that Murong only had eyes for her, so Murong only moved around in Xianfu Palace.

“Consort De, please stop being unreasonable. How can the Abbess control which of your sisters’ palaces His Majesty chooses to visit? Even if Consort De is jealous of the Abbess, she cannot be unreasonable,” Consort Ning said, speaking up for Lou Suyi.

Consort De's words were thoughtless and untenable.

Consort De felt nauseous just looking at Consort Ning's hypocritical face.

At this moment, Consort Tao, who had been silent, spoke up: "Consort De's words have touched my heart. I also wish to see His Majesty. How wonderful it would be if His Majesty could stay overnight in my room?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Tao Zhaoyi's face.

The Tao family has some connection with His Majesty, after all, her stepmother is Princess Guangyi. Princess Guangyi rendered meritorious service in supporting the emperor, which gave Consort Tao the opportunity to enter the palace to serve him.

Even though she was a woman from the Tao family, it was difficult for her to even see the emperor, which is why Lou Suying was particularly hated.

Originally, everyone was on the same level, but Lou Suyi broke the existing balance.

"Could I move to Xianfu Palace and live with my fourth sister?" Lou Suyue suddenly had an idea.

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi took a sip of plain water: "His Majesty arranged for me to live in Xianfu Palace, so I can't make that decision myself. If Consort Lou wants to live in Xianfu Palace, she should ask His Majesty for permission."

If Lou Suyue really wants to move into Xianfu Palace, she will definitely ask Murong for permission to move into another palace. She absolutely cannot live under the same roof as this heartless Lou family girl.

"Fourth Sister is still my sister, can't she at least tell His Majesty?" Lou Suyue smiled innocently at Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi couldn't stand Lou Suyue's hypocrisy, so she covered her lips with a handkerchief and pretended to gag.

Lou Suyue's expression changed upon seeing this, realizing that Lou Suyi was deliberately using this action to disgust her.

Lou Suyi gagged several times before managing a weak smile: "I'm sorry, I just felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. I wonder if it's a pregnancy reaction."

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that a woman over seven months pregnant would no longer experience pregnancy symptoms. Lou Suyi was clearly trying to disgust Lou Suyue's behavior.

Lou Suyue was so angry at Lou Suyi's affected manner that her face turned pale, but she couldn't retaliate because Lou Suyi had the imperial heir to protect her.
"Don't overthink it, Lou Cairen. I probably didn't feel nauseous because of you." Lou Suyi still wouldn't let Lou Suyue off the hook.

Lou Suyue wanted to move into Xianfu Palace to annoy her, right? She could annoy Lou Suyue in return, making her suffer in silence.

Lou Suyue clenched her fists to hold back her outburst.

The palace is not the Suning Marquis's mansion. She was pampered and raised in the Lou family. After her elder sister got married, she became the Lou family's darling. She had never suffered such humiliation before.

What's more, the person who made her suffer today was Lou Suyi, the illegitimate daughter of the Lou family.

She stared intently at Lou Suyi's belly, wishing she could make the woman's pregnancy disappear. Without an imperial heir, Lou Suyi could no longer be so arrogant.

"Why would I overthink it? But looking at Fourth Sister's pregnant belly, she might be carrying a princess," Lou Suyue said, glancing at Lou Suyi. "If Fourth Sister gives birth to a princess, His Majesty probably won't mind, right?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm reminded of something," Lou Suyi said, glancing at Jinshu and whispering something in her ear.

Jinshu readily agreed and entered the inner room. No one knew what trick Lou Suyi was up to, but judging from her demeanor, they knew it couldn't be anything good.

Before long, Jinshu came out with a sheet of Xuan paper in her hand and handed it to Lou Suyue: "These are some names that His Majesty chose for the imperial heirs yesterday."

Lou Suyue looked closely and found that there were five names for girls, but only one name for boys.

What is this indicating?

Lou Suyue's heart sank. Did this mean that even if Lou Suyi gave birth to a princess, His Majesty would prefer her?
She immediately felt as if she had swallowed a fly, and her whole body felt extremely uncomfortable.

Lou Suyi, well done, you've slapped yourself in the face again in this way.

"His Majesty said last night that if it were a princess, he might personally teach her. I'm wondering if His Majesty would prefer a princess? Wouldn't His Majesty be favoring women over men?" Lou Suyi looked at Lou Suyue, whose face was ashen, and couldn't help but smile.

This confrontation completely shattered Lou Suyue's fighting spirit.

Others, seeing the dead nun's sullen and aloof demeanor, felt angry but could not vent their anger.

Just then, an unfamiliar woman stood up and suddenly walked up to Lou Suyi, saying, "Master, may I have a word with you in private?"

Lou Suyi looked at Jinshu and asked, "Who is this?"

Jinshu replied in a low voice, "This is Wan Xuanshi, one of the second batch of selected ladies-in-waiting."

"You might as well say it here." Lou Suyi felt that Wan Xuanshi's gaze was somewhat strange.

But she felt that even if Consort Wan was bold, she wouldn't do anything to her in public.

With this thought, she felt more at ease.

"Doesn't the nun want to know the truth about how she was kidnapped back then?" Consort Wan asked in a serious tone.

Lou Suying was taken aback, then stood up excitedly: "Let's talk in private!"

She and Lou Suya were kidnapped at the same time. She suspected that Lou Suya was behind it, but she had no evidence.

This concubine, Wan, was a complete stranger to her, and they had never had any dealings before, yet she suddenly brought up this matter. This seemed very strange.

In that instant, all her excitement vanished into calm.

Wan Xuanshi took the lead and walked ahead. Lou Suyi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Granny Qiao and asked Granny Qiao and Jinshu to accompany her.

Upon reaching the corridor, Lou Suyi asked, "Do you truly know the truth about why I was kidnapped back then?"

Wan Xuanshi stared blankly at Lou Suyi: "I will only speak to the nun."

Lou Suying looked into Wan Xuanshi's eyes, still feeling uneasy, and said, "Speak if you want to, or don't if you don't..."

The next moment, Wan Xuanshi suddenly rushed towards her.

She stumbled back several steps, and Granny Qiao hurriedly stopped Wan Xuanshi, but Wan Xuanshi was incredibly strong and bumped into Granny Qiao, causing her to also stumble back two steps.

Lou Suyi took a few steps back before she could stand still, but a strong gust of wind came from behind her.

She quickly grabbed the doorpost and looked back, only to see that all the concubines had followed her out and were now behind her, glaring at her menacingly.

"Is the young lady alright?" Jinshu was startled when she saw Lou Suyi suddenly grab the doorpost and hurriedly went to check on her.
