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

Chapter 150 What skills do you expect her to have in seducing men?

The next day, Lou Suyi was still thinking about this past event after she woke up.

For her, it wasn't a long time, considering there had been a five-year gap. Her fall into the fire and her return were just a blink of an eye.

The dream she had last night was only two years ago for her.

The cold look in Murong's eyes that year remained vivid in her memory.

"Before His Majesty left, he specifically instructed Granny Fan to cook more of the dishes that Miss likes. His Majesty also said that if Miss wants anything, she should just tell us. And also, His Majesty said that Miss is having a hard time during her pregnancy, and asked us to keep her company and help her relieve her worries..." Yan Hui chattered on.

Lou Suyi sighed softly, "It is indeed quite stuffy in this palace."

"By the way, His Majesty also said that the imperial seal will be sealed on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. At that time, His Majesty will have time to spend with you, Miss. Please be patient for a few more days," Yan Hui reassured her.

Lou Suyi thought to herself that Murong himself was a quiet person, so it didn't matter whether he accompanied her or not, so she might as well find some fun on her own.

"Mmm-hmm," Lou Suyi replied insincerely.

She was more interested in finding out if Consort De could uncover any clues.

It's infuriating that someone keeps framing her while she doesn't even know who the culprit is.

Murong asked Consort De to investigate, but what if Consort De refuses to investigate?
Or perhaps it was indeed Consort De who harmed her, but they made Consort De investigate herself?
She didn't expect that two days later, Consort De would actually discover the so-called spies hiding in Changqiu Palace.

This "spy" was a third-class palace maid who served Consort De. It is said that she found a money bag in front of Changqiu Palace. Inside the money bag were five hundred taels of silver notes, along with a note. The five hundred taels were intended to buy a bottle of the special mutton fat that Consort De was using.

This palace maid became infatuated after seeing the five hundred taels of silver notes.

She thought that five hundred taels of silver could buy a lot of mutton fat, as long as she could replenish the missing bottle of mutton fat before Consort De discovered that one bottle was missing.

Lou Suyi found it unbelievable. How could the person who wanted to harm her be so sure that the palace maid would give her a bottle of mutton fat after receiving five hundred taels of silver?
However, she had to admit that this method was indeed feasible, and the palace maid did indeed steal a bottle of mutton fat from Consort De and place it in front of Changqiu Palace.

The most outrageous thing is that she actually went to Xianfu Palace. This plan had too many coincidences, but this wicked scheme that killed two birds with one stone almost succeeded.

Lou Suyi looked at Murong: "I'm afraid this case can only be closed like this."

The other party is cautious and unlikely to leave any clues.

Murong was examining the money pouches handed over by the palace maids. The pouches were ordinary, and he couldn't see anything special about them.

He simply handed the money bag to Lou Suyi: "Can you tell what's special about this money bag?"

Lou Suyi took the money bag and examined it closely. She found that the money bag was very ordinary, made of common silk cloth, with common cloud patterns and ordinary stitching.

She searched the inner pocket again, but found nothing.

"Do you usually use this kind of money bag?" Lou Suyi asked Jinshu casually.

Jinshu nodded in agreement: "This is exactly the kind of money bag we use. However, the money bags used by palace maids are also divided into ranks. The one you are holding is the money bag used by senior palace maids."

She even took out her own purse and handed it to Lou Suyi.

After Lou Suyi took it, she discovered that Jinshu's money pouch was the same as the one in her hand.

In other words, the person who threw the money bag in front of Changqiu Palace was a senior palace maid from another palace.

After a moment's hesitation, Lou Suying asked again, "How many of these money pouches do you and Yan Hui have?" "Two each," Jinyi replied politely.

"If it's lost, can I apply for another one?" Lou Suyi asked.

“This… I have never lost my purse, I wonder if I can claim it?” Jinshu said, then suddenly seemed to understand something.

Murong also understood the deeper meaning in Lou Suyi's words, so he asked Jiqing to investigate.

This matter is actually very simple. Just gather all the head maids who serve the noblemen and have them take out their two purses, and you will know who lost their purse.

Since the purse is lost, it's gone. Plus, the purses issued each year have different designs, so the murderer has nowhere to hide.

Lou Suyi herself did not expect that she could actually follow the clues from a money bag and find out that the owner of the money bag was actually the head palace maid who served Consort Qiao.

Consort Qiao never expected that her meticulous plan would be exposed, especially through a money pouch.

She was thrown in front of Murong Helou Suyi, and was so dizzy from the fall that she felt lightheaded.

Lou Suyi looked at Consort Qiao and remembered that she was close to Lou Suyue. The first time she met Consort Qiao, she was with Lou Suyue and Consort Luo.

"You want to harm me?" Lou Suyi looked at Consort Qiao and still couldn't understand where Consort Qiao got the audacity to lay a hand on the imperial heir.

After this battle, the entire Qiao family will be implicated. Does Consort Qiao think it's worth it?

Consort Qiao still tried to deny it: "I...I didn't, it wasn't me!"

"Your head maid has confessed that she was instigated by you to pour oil on the palace road. You even devised a vicious scheme to kill two birds with one stone, trying to drag Consort De down with you." Murong's expression was cold.

Consort Qiao's face turned ashen. She knew that her scheme had been exposed and that no matter how she tried to deny it, she couldn't change the fact that she had been caught red-handed.

"Speak, what grudge do you hold against me that you would try to poison me?" Lou Suyi asked Qiao Guiren with intense eyes.

Consort Qiao opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.

At first, she only thought that her plan was foolproof, and that no one would know that she was the one who wanted to harm Lou Suying. Moreover, if things went well, she could help herself and all the sisters in the harem eliminate their two biggest enemies.

But she never considered what consequences she would face if her scheme were exposed.

The next moment, Lou Suyi grabbed a teacup and smashed it hard at Consort Qiao.

Consort Qiao was unable to dodge in time and was hit squarely, immediately bleeding from her head.

In her pain, she roared without restraint, "It is you who have violated the virtues of a woman, seducing His Majesty! As a nun, you have disregarded the rules and precepts, and had the audacity to climb into the Emperor's bed..."

Murong's face darkened upon hearing this: "The Qiao family is demoted to commoners and sentenced to death. The Qiao family has failed in educating their daughter; the entire family's property will be confiscated and they will be exiled!"

Qiao Guiren immediately collapsed to the ground, her previous arrogance completely gone.

She was so young, and because of a single wrong decision, she went down a dead end. It was clearly Lou Suyue who repeatedly told her that Lou Suyi was a nun but was able to climb into the emperor's bed, which aroused her hatred for Lou Suyi. The culprit was Lou Suyue.

"Drag him away and beat him to death!" Murong coldly ordered.

Ji Qing stepped forward to drag Consort Qiao away, but Consort Qiao seemed to wake from a dream. She crawled to Murong's feet and said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life..."

Murong kicked Consort Qiao aside and looked down at her: "Today I will make sure you die knowing why. Su Yi did not seduce me. I took the initiative to favor Su Yi. With her looks, what ability do you expect her to have to seduce men? I just took a liking to her and decided to make her the biological mother of the imperial heir."
