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

Chapter 146 The Emperor is Angry!
"It was my fault for acting on my own, Your Majesty. It was all my fault. Please kill me!" Jinshu saw that things were not going well and was afraid that His Majesty would take action against the young lady in a fit of anger, so she hurriedly took the blame upon herself.

Lou Suyi turned to look at Jinshu and thought that this palace maid was also blindly loyal. It was a matter of life and death, and she thought that she could just take it upon herself.
It seems Jinshu confessed long ago, which is why Murong punished her by making her kneel, and the little palace maid even tried to exonerate her.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in shirking responsibility.

With the imperial heir as her protection, Murong shouldn't go so far as to take her life or actually pull out her tongue, right?
Thinking back to when Madam Ma was banished to the Cold Palace, her tongue was pulled out. Murong seems to be very interested in pulling out people's tongues.

She touched her lips and said weakly, "Um, it was me who asked Jinshu—"

Jinshu said loudly, "Miss is pregnant, why don't you go back to Xianfu Palace first?"

Lou Suyi turned to look at Jinshu, thinking the little palace maid was silly. Murong was ruthless; if Jinse had been dealt with, Jinshu couldn't possibly escape either.

On the contrary, because she was pregnant with the emperor's child and had Empress Dowager Chen backing her up, she could accept being banished to the cold palace by Murong as long as he didn't pull out her tongue.

“It was I who asked Jinshu to spread the rumors. I thought everyone was watching our child, and in order to protect the child, I came up with the idea of ​​diverting everyone’s attention.” Lou Suyi said, touching her pregnant belly, her eyes darkening. “Child, your mother has done something wrong, and your father may punish me. You are not even born yet, and your mother is already suffering.”

She glanced furtively at Murong, only to meet the emperor's unfathomable eyes.

She did all this for the sake of the child, so why does the emperor's gaze seem to suggest it's her fault? It's making her feel a little guilty.

"Your Majesty has no idea how difficult things are for me in the harem. So many eyes are on this pregnancy. I have to think about the child, don't I? Besides, I had Jinshu spread the truth; Your Majesty suffered no loss whatsoever—"

"Lou Suyi, you can shut up now!" Murong said coldly.

Ji Qing whispered from the side, "Fourth Miss, His Majesty has not summoned Consort Hui to serve him in bed."

Your Majesty has clearly been slandered by the Fourth Miss. To date, Your Majesty has only had the Fourth Miss as your woman.

"Huh?" Lou Suyi looked at Ji Qing in a daze.

Ji Qing nodded to her, indicating that he had not lied.

In fact, he found it all very strange. Originally, he had taken Consort Hui out of the palace for a trip and stayed overnight outside the palace. It would have been a natural thing to summon Consort Hui to serve him in bed. However, His Majesty did not summon Consort Hui to serve him in bed.

He even began to suspect that His Majesty hadn't touched Consort Hui because of the Fourth Miss.

But the Fourth Miss deliberately spread false rumors about His Majesty, how could His Majesty not be angry?

Lou Suyi was a little confused. She thought that Murong would definitely favor Liang Wanying when he took her out of the palace for a trip. Why was it different from what she thought?
Moreover, Liang Wanying was a favored concubine during the reign of the late emperor, and she was also exceptionally beautiful. How could he not favor such a beauty?
He still defied Empress Dowager Chen, insisting on making Liang Wanying a concubine despite everyone's opposition.

"I...I thought..." Lou Suyi didn't dare to look at Murong. She seemed to know why Murong was angry, because she had slandered him.

Murong remained silent, and the imperial study was deathly quiet.

Lou Suying, who had initially been quite self-assured, now felt a little guilty. If she were in Murong's shoes, she certainly wouldn't be happy to be slandered.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spread the rumors. Can Your Majesty forgive me this time?" Lou Suyi mustered her courage and met Murong's gaze.

Murong stared at her for a long while before finally speaking: "All of you, step back."

Lou Suying hadn't expected Murong to be so agreeable. Hesitantly, she stepped forward to help Jinshu up. Seeing that Murong didn't stop her, she breathed a sigh of relief. Murong's gentle handling made her feel inexplicably guilty, even though she was doing it for their child.

She walked a few steps away, then turned back to look at Murong. He was looking down at a memorial, and it was clear he was in a bad mood. His unhappiness was probably because of her.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Lou Suying asked, "Is His Majesty angry?"

Jinshu nodded in agreement: "This servant also thinks His Majesty is angry."

Lou Suyi remained silent.

Murong was angry, but he didn't punish her and Jinshu. Was he really that furious, or had she disappointed him?

"His Majesty is a very busy man, he may not be angry for a few days, so please don't worry, Miss." Jinshu quickly reassured Lou Suying, afraid that she might be overthinking things.

Lou Suyi sighed softly, "I do feel a little guilty. How about I try my best to give His Majesty a prince, as an apology?"

Upon hearing this, the servants all laughed.

Yan Hui said excitedly, "That's right! When the young lady gives birth to the little prince, His Majesty will be overjoyed. At that time, His Majesty will forget about this trivial matter."

Lou Suying nodded vigorously: "Then I'll try my best."

Because Lou Su-yi was heavily pregnant and had no official rank, she was not allowed to ride in a palanquin, so she walked very slowly.

Fortunately, Lou Suying wasn't in a hurry. She walked slowly, and the others accommodated her.

As she approached the vicinity of Xianfu Palace, she suddenly recalled the chilling feeling of being watched earlier and abruptly stopped in her tracks.

"Why did you stop, young lady?" Jinshu asked hurriedly when she saw Lou Suyi stop.

“When I left Xianfu Palace before, I always felt like someone was watching me. Just to be on the safe side, which of you will go ahead and scout ahead?” Lou Suyi felt it was better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, since she had plenty of time.

Normally, she stays cooped up in Xianfu Palace, so even if someone wanted to harm her, they wouldn't find an opportunity. Today, she left Xianfu Palace on her own. If something unexpected happens on the way, wouldn't that be falling into the trap of someone with malicious intentions?
Granny Shen's expression hardened: "This old servant will go over and check on her first. You all protect the young lady."

She was an old hand in the palace and had seen many dirty tricks. It had snowed the day before yesterday, and the snow on the palace roads had just melted, making the roads very slippery. It was quite possible that someone could deliberately cause an accident.

The others also dared not be negligent and were on high alert.

Granny Shen took the lead and then lay down on the ground to look ahead. Sure enough, under the sunlight, she saw that the road was shiny and reflected colorful light. She immediately frowned.

She returned to Lou Suying and reported, "Not only is there more ice on the road, but oil has also been poured on it. Miss, please stay where you are. This old servant will go and report this to His Majesty."

The perpetrators of evil deeds cannot be allowed to escape justice; they must be found.

We haven't found out who was behind Consort Wan last time, and now someone else wants to target the imperial heir. We must find these villains.

"Go ahead, I'll wait here. I'm not going anywhere," Lou Suyi said solemnly, only glad that she had been more cautious.

So it wasn't her imagination; someone was indeed watching her every move. Seeing her leave Xianfu Palace, they devised a plan to harm her—how utterly despicable!
Ah ah ah
