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

Chapter 15 Lou Suyi, why are you in my bed?
The Lotus Nunnery was quiet and still. Lou Suying pondered for a while before falling into a dream.

When she opened her eyes, she found it was almost dawn. Startled, she jumped up and, without even washing up, grabbed her bundle and hurriedly left the Lotus Nunnery.

She was worried that she would run into Xie Zhijie or Qi Yan, but before she had gone far, she was met by the imperial procession.

Her expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected to be so unlucky as to run into the most formidable figure.

There was no time to turn back, so she quickly lowered her head and knelt down to the side.

Murong was sitting in the dragon carriage; he probably didn't see her just now, right?

Although she was Murong's savior, he was the emperor. Compared to imperial power, a savior was nothing...

Ji Qing, who was standing to the side, spotted Lou Suyi at a glance, and only then did he realize what was going on.

It turns out that His Majesty knew that Lou Si was going to leave the Lotus Nunnery, so he left the palace ahead of time. Coincidentally, he ran into Lou Suyi.

He glanced furtively at the new emperor on the imperial carriage, whose expression was unclear. He seemed not to see Lou Suying, and for a moment he was unsure whether to remind His Majesty.

Just as he was struggling with this decision, the imperial procession brushed past Lou Suyi, who was kneeling to the side.

Lou Suying was somewhat nervous. She breathed a sigh of relief after the imperial procession had passed and was about to get up to leave when Murong's voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"

Lou Suyi thought to herself that it definitely wasn't calling her. Murong hadn't even seen her just now, so there was no need for her to make a fool of herself.

She quickened her pace discreetly. Seeing this, Ji Qing had no choice but to follow behind Lou Suyi and say, "Fourth Miss, His Majesty requests your presence!"

Lou Suyi thought that she wasn't the fourth in the family, and the fourth young lady might not even be called her, right?
She gritted her teeth and continued walking forward, but Ji Qing quickened his pace and soon blocked her way.

Ji Qing smiled innocently at her: "Fourth Miss, you must not have heard His Majesty's decree. His Majesty requests that you return. Please!"

Lou Suying valued her life most. Seeing that she couldn't escape, she whispered to Jiqing, "Will His Majesty mistake me for an evil spirit? I'm a living person, Jiqing, pinch me. I really am a living person, not a ghost."

Ji Qing coughed twice and replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, Fourth Miss. His Majesty is a true dragon emperor with a broad vision. He won't mistake you for an evil spirit."

Seeing that Ji Qing didn't seem to be joking, Lou Suyi asked again, "Do you believe me?"

No, Jiqing actually called her Fourth Miss, does that mean Jiqing knows she is Lou Suyi? Does that mean Murong also knows?
“It’s not just this servant who believes in Fourth Miss, His Majesty believes in her too.” Ji Qing smiled at Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi was still uneasy. She felt that it was strange that Murong had suddenly called her back, as if he already knew her identity, which was completely different from his attitude when she woke up on the dragon bed.

Furthermore, even if Murong wanted to come to Lotus Temple to offer sacrifices, there was no need to do it so early.
Arriving at Lotus Nunnery at this time indicates that Murong left the palace as soon as the palace gates opened.

At this moment, the imperial procession had stopped. Ji Qing forced her to go to the imperial carriage and pay her respects to Murong.

Murong stared at her for a while, then reached out his hand to her.

Lou Suyi frowned slightly and looked at Jiqing. Wasn't it Jiqing who helped the emperor down from the dragon carriage?
Seeing that Lou Suyi was standing still, Ji Qing quickly gave her a wink. She had no choice but to follow Ji Qing's example, bend down and help Murong down from the imperial carriage.

Although she couldn't see her own reflection, she knew she was definitely utterly subservient.

Murong, with Lou Suyi's help, stepped off the imperial carriage. Without even glancing at her, he simply ordered, "Follow me."

Lou Suyi replied crisply, "Yes, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing this, Murong turned to look at her, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to meet Murong's gaze.

At this moment, she truly understood what it meant to serve a ruler like a tiger; accompanying the emperor was a dangerous and dangerous job where one could easily lose one's life.

Fortunately, Murong didn't cause her any trouble and went straight to the temple gate.

The people inside the Lotus Nunnery were surprised that the imperial carriage would arrive so early. When the nun guarding the gate saw Murong dressed in a dragon robe, she was startled and hurriedly knelt down to welcome him.

Murong excused the nun from the formalities and had Lou Suyi lead him to the sacrificial hall.

After bringing Murong to the Dharma Hall, Lou Suying tried to find a chance to escape: "Your Majesty, this humble nun will go and invite the abbot to come and receive you..."

Before she could speak, Murong suddenly looked at her, and then at the package she was holding.

It wasn't a particularly sharp gaze, but it still made Lou Suyi nervous.

Murong scrutinized her for a moment before asking, "Lou Suying, how did you survive back then? And how did you end up in my bed?"

Lou Suyi secretly grumbled to herself, "I don't know either. I just closed my eyes and opened them to find myself on Murong's dragon bed. Is that something I can talk about?"

She carefully chose her words before cautiously replying, "Five years ago, I also thought I was going to die. After all, I fell from such a height, and below me was a sea of ​​fire. I was prepared to die and was determined to die a martyr. But just as I was about to reach the sea of ​​fire, I felt an endless aura of heavenly dragons rushing towards me. The raging fire seemed to transform into a cloud of auspiciousness, enveloping me completely..."

"Get to the point!" Murong interrupted Lou Suyi's long-winded speech.

Lou Suying was speechless for a moment, and could only summarize in one sentence: "When I fell into the sea of ​​fire, I was unconscious. When I opened my eyes again, I was next to His Majesty. It must be His Majesty's dragon energy that saved my life! Only after His Majesty ascended the throne did I have the opportunity to come back. If it weren't for His Majesty's protection, I would have my name written backwards!"

Seeing that Murong was looking her over again, she quickly raised her hand and swore: "What I said is true. If I am lying, may I be struck by lightning. I am really not an evil spirit!"

Murong stared intently at Lou Suyi.

Looking at her, she's not much different from back then; just as noisy.

"Evil spirits will probably avoid you if they see you," Murong said calmly, making a definitive statement.

Lou Suyi took this as His Majesty the Emperor praising her, which also meant that important people thought she was a normal person and wouldn't lock her up for research.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then hesitated whether to use the debt of saving her life to blackmail him into helping her drive Xie Zhijie and Qi Yan away.

But she also knew that back then, Murong thought she was not a virtuous woman. If he knew that two promising young men in the imperial court wanted to take her as a concubine, she wondered what Murong's reaction would be.

Just as she was pondering this, Murong suddenly reached out to her.

She followed his gaze and saw that the important man was staring at her package.

Thinking that he was the emperor, she figured he wouldn't embezzle her small amount of money, so she obediently handed over the package.

After Murong took the package, he handed it to Ji Qing.

That place contained all of Lou Suyi's belongings. Just as she was about to ask what it meant, the emperor issued an order: "You stay here at the Lotus Nunnery. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
