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

Chapter 147 Without His Majesty to Warm the Bed...

Granny Shen quickly returned to Qianqing Palace and reported this important matter to Murong.

Murong never expected that Lou Suying would be framed and harmed by someone so quickly just by leaving Xianfu Palace.

"Is Su Yi alright?" Murong strode out of the imperial study.

"The young lady and the imperial heir are safe and sound. It's all thanks to the young lady's intelligence that she sensed someone was watching her when she left Xianfu Palace, and she became more cautious, asking this old servant to scout ahead first. It was thanks to the young lady's reminder that this old servant was able to discover that oil had been poured on the road, thus averting this disaster." Granny Shen recalled with lingering fear.

Murong felt a slight sense of relief: "She does have some cleverness."

Granny Shen, however, felt that His Majesty's words were incorrect: "This old servant thought that what you said was great wisdom."

Murong didn't refute it further; it was fortunate that the little nun and her child were safe and sound.

Lou Suying soon saw the imperial procession. Murong hurriedly came to her side, seemingly forgetting that he had been angry with her earlier. He pulled her aside to check her over, appearing to care about her a lot.

Therefore, she gained status because of her son, and with her child as a protective shield, Murong was unwilling to hold a grudge against her.

"I'm fine. I noticed something was off about the road beforehand, so I just waited here and didn't take another step forward." Lou Suyi couldn't help but feel a little smug. "Luckily, I was careful enough to avoid this ambush."

Looking at her beaming face and recalling what she had done, Murong suddenly realized that as long as she was lively and occasionally caused trouble, it was actually within his tolerance range.

"Issue my decree: thoroughly investigate which palace servants have been frequently seen near Xianfu Palace during this period!" Murong coldly ordered.

Lou Suying looked at the road ahead and suddenly said, "Don't rush to clear the road ahead. First, check what kind of oil was spilled on the road. Maybe we can find some clues."

Since you've spilled the oil, you should at least get your hands on it, right?
If it's cooking oil, could it be related to Shangshiju?

If it's not cooking oil, then where did you get it from?
Of course, if it was cooking oil that was spilled, a palace with a small kitchen would also be a suspect.

Murong nodded approvingly, then ordered his men to check what kind of oil had been spilled on the ground.

The results were surprising; it turned out to be mutton fat.

Sheep fat is animal fat, and it should have solidified in such cold weather, but the sheep fat on the ground did not solidify.

It was later discovered that the mutton fat had been processed, and something had been added to prevent it from solidifying.

Lou Suyi found mutton fat rare and believed it could help her unravel the mystery and track down the mastermind behind the murder.

Afterwards, Murong ordered people to clear the palace road and accompanied Lou Suyi back to Xianfu Palace.

Lou Suying sat down with Murong's help: "Now His Majesty should know my intention in spreading rumors, right? I wanted to divert people's attention from my pregnancy, but it seems to be of little use."

The child in her womb was indeed a threat to all the concubines in the harem. Even though Liang Wanying could help divert some of the attention, everyone was still eyeing her pregnancy covetously.

Murong didn't want to think about it anymore, but the little nun insisted on bringing it up. Did she mean to imply that she was in the right?

Lou Suyi originally wanted to explain the reason to Murong and hoped that he could understand her difficulties, but when she saw Murong's jaw tighten after she opened her mouth, she knew that she had said the wrong thing.

"Oh dear, I was frightened again today, but thankfully it was all over." She touched her pregnant belly and sighed softly. "My child, it's all thanks to your mother's quick thinking, otherwise we might both have been in trouble today. This palace is really dangerous."

Murong watched the little nun's self-directed performance and ultimately didn't hold it against her: "I will accompany you in Xianfu Palace tonight."

Lou Suying was taken aback; that wasn't what she meant. She simply hoped he would stop being angry with her, not that she wanted him to stay in Xianfu Palace with her.

"Well, if Your Majesty is busy, I don't necessarily need Your Majesty to accompany me," Lou Suyi said with an awkward smile.

"Are you saying you don't want me to accompany you?" Murong looked at Lou Suyi's slender neck with a half-smile.

Lou Suyi felt a chill on her neck and realized that if she said she didn't want him to accompany her, he might snap her neck. After all, even an emperor has his pride.

She immediately took Murong's arm: "How could that be? I don't even know how much I miss Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty warming my bed..."

Realizing what she had said, she looked utterly dejected.

But it was this very, daring remark she uttered that made the emperor, who had just been keeping a straight face, suddenly smile, melting away the ice and snow and filling the room with a spring breeze.

Looking at Murong's smile, Lou Suying suddenly sighed, "Your Majesty should smile more often; he looks so handsome when he smiles."

Although she didn't know what was so risqué about her words that would please him, it was an unexpected delight.

Murong pinched her face repeatedly, then ordered Jiqing to move the memorial to Xianfu Palace.

Lou Suyi finally understood. Murong planned to spend the whole day with her, which was an immense favor, but she felt burdened. She wondered if she should say it.
She looked at Murong, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated, ultimately deciding to remain silent.

Today she was almost framed, but the attempt failed. Instead, it made Murong, who had been ignoring her for two days, turn his attention back to her. Isn't that a slap in the face to that bad guy?

She deserves such favor; after all, her belly is so fertile.

So many people want to get rid of her but can't kill her; she's incredibly resilient!
"Then I'll have Granny Fan prepare some of His Majesty's favorite dishes. Does His Majesty have any requests? I'll have Granny Fan prepare them!" Lou Suying said with a smile.

At this moment, Murong thought the little nun looked beautiful when she smiled, even though her smile was a bit exaggerated, he still found it quite pleasing.

"Just have the nanny prepare your preferred meal; I'm not picky," Murong replied gently.

Yan Hui stood not far away, secretly watching the handsome man and beautiful woman's eye-catching scene. She suddenly felt that the couple she had her eye on might be working out again.

Moreover, Jiqing said that His Majesty has not favored Consort Hui, so is it possible that His Majesty is keeping his chastity for the sake of the young lady?

Thinking of this possibility, she beamed with joy and couldn't stop smiling.

Jinshu saw her laughing like a fool and pulled her out of the inner room: "What are you laughing at like an idiot? How dare you be distracted when you're serving His Majesty?"

“I’m happy to see that you and His Majesty have reconciled. I think there’s still a possibility of a lifelong, monogamous relationship. His Majesty still treats you the best.” Yan Hui said, then added, “I’ll go help out in the small kitchen.”

Jinshu chuckled and shook her head, but did not stop her.

She peeked into the room. Although His Majesty was still stern and unsmiling, the way he looked at the girl was different from how he looked at others. He was so focused on her that it seemed as if she was the only person in his eyes.

It remains to be seen whether the mastermind behind today's attempt to frame the girl can be found.

It hasn't been long since the Wanxuanshi incident last month, and now someone is trying to target the girl again.

No wonder the young lady didn't want to leave Xianfu Palace; it's truly dangerous outside. If she hadn't been so vigilant and luckily escaped disaster today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
