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

Chapter 165 Severing Ties with the Lou Family

Before they knew it, it was the day the little prince turned one month old, and on that day, Lou Suyi also finished her confinement period.

Lou Suyi had been thinking about this for a long time, and she felt that it was actually a good thing that she hadn't been given a title.

She is still young and values ​​her child most, so of course she wants to be by her child's side as they grow up.

But when the children grow up and have their own world, she, as their mother, will naturally become less important. By then, the children will no longer need her, or may find her annoying, and she can live for herself. There will be no need for her to stay in the palace anymore; she can leave the palace and live a free and easy life.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that her future was bright.

Many people came to the little prince's full moon celebration. Madam Yin from the Suning Marquis's Mansion came, and even brought Concubine Ke with her.

Lou Suyi only learned when she saw Madam Yin and Aunt Ke that Madam Yin had previously submitted a petition to enter the palace and, with the permission of Empress Dowager Chen, brought Aunt Ke to Xianfu Palace to celebrate the baby's full moon celebration.

Lou Suyi showed no expression the moment she saw Aunt Ke.

She didn't have much affection for this biological mother, just like Aunt Ke had for her; there wasn't much of a mother-daughter bond between them.

Aunt Ke, on the other hand, had tears welling up in her eyes as soon as she saw Lou Suyi, and she began to cry timidly: "Suyi, you're back, why didn't you come to see your aunt? Now that you've become successful, don't you want your aunt anymore?"

As soon as Aunt Ke said this, all the concubines who came to celebrate the little prince's full moon looked at Lou Suyi with disdain.

Lou Suyi knew that Aunt Ke was used to using this trick to compete for favor with Madam Yin and the other concubines. It was not surprising that she would use the same method to deal with her daughter this time.

"Aunt Ke is really joking. Back then, Aunt Ke said she didn't want me as her daughter. How come after so many years, Aunt Ke is blaming me for not wanting her as her aunt?" Lou Suyi looked at Aunt Ke with a half-smile.

Aunt Ke never expected Lou Suyi to slap her face in public.

She did say those words back then, but she never expected that Lou Suying would become the emperor's woman. Back then, Lou Suying only wanted to break free from her control and find a marriage of her own.

However, as the Earl said, Su Yi is beautiful, and if she were to become a concubine for a powerful man, she would still have some value.

It was precisely because Su Yi was unruly that she made those harsh remarks to her.

Aunt Ke squeezed out a few tears: "Back then, you were disobedient, so I spoke harshly to you. How could there be any deep-seated hatred between a mother and daughter? You have no idea how much I've regretted it all these years..."

"Auntie, please don't say such things against your conscience. Didn't you lock me in the woodshed and not feed me for three days back then? Didn't you say you would break my legs and leave me to fend for myself?"

At this point, she looked at the silent Empress Dowager Chen and knelt down: "Your Majesty said last time that you would grant me a favor, and I have now made up my mind. There are many people here today who can bear witness."

Empress Dowager Chen vaguely guessed what Lou Suyi wanted to say: "Suyi, don't rush to make a decision."

She had no one to rely on in the harem. Even though the Lou family had no affection for her, she still had the Suning Marquis's Mansion behind her.

"I have made up my mind. I wish to sever all ties with the Marquis of Suning's mansion and never have anything to do with them again. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request!" Lou Suying said with a firm look in her eyes.

Madam Yin and Aunt Ke's expressions changed simultaneously; they hadn't expected Lou Suying to be so ruthless.

"Lou Suyi, how dare you?!" Aunt Ke rushed up to Lou Suyi, ready to attack her.

Just then, Murong's voice rang out out of nowhere: "Who dares to make such a racket in Xianfu Palace?!"

Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, only to see that Murong had arrived at some point. He was dressed in a dragon robe, exuding an imposing aura without being angry.

Everyone immediately bowed to Murong. Murong declined their bows and slowly walked up to Aunt Ke: "Was it you who was disrespectful to Su Yi just now?!"

Aunt Ke's eyes welled up with tears: "This...this concubine...didn't mean it..."

Murong sneered upon hearing this: "If it wasn't intentional, why would you be so rude to Su Yi? If it were intentional, wouldn't the world be in chaos?! She is Chen'er's birth mother. Without my permission, who would dare to touch her?!"

Aunt Ke was so frightened that she fell silent, but tears kept streaming down her face.

"Since Su Yi has said that she will sever ties with the Lou family from now on, the Lou family should not bother coming to Su Yi's side and getting in her way. Guards, throw her out of Xianfu Palace!" Murong slowly ordered.

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone dragged Aunt Ke out of Xianfu Palace and threw her on the ground.

Madam Yin's expression was not good.

She originally wanted Aunt Ke to persuade Lou Suyi to help Suyue ascend to the throne, but Aunt Ke incurred the Emperor's displeasure as soon as she entered the palace.

Now that Lou Suyi claims to be severing ties with the Lou family, and even His Majesty has issued an order that the Lou family members are not allowed to appear in front of Lou Suyi in the future, wouldn't Suyue also have no chance?

"Madam, you should leave the palace as soon as possible." Murong looked at her at this moment.

Knowing that the emperor had left her room to maneuver, Lady Yin tactfully said, "This humble woman takes her leave."

After leaving Xianfu Palace, she looked at Aunt Ke, who was silently weeping on the ground, and sneered, "A good-for-nothing who's good for nothing but causing trouble! When we get back to the Lou family, let's see how the Earl deals with you."

Aunt Ke sobbed, and Madam Yin felt disgusted by her behavior.

Her biggest mistake was bringing Consort Ke into the palace; today, the Lou family has been utterly disgraced by Consort Ke.

Inside Xianfu Palace, Lou Suyue was caught in a dilemma.

She was initially happy that her mother had come, knowing that her mother intended to persuade Lou Suyi to help her rise to power. However, she did not expect that Aunt Ke would make such a mess of things with just a few words.

Lou Suyi even wanted to sever ties with the Lou family, and His Majesty also issued an order that the Lou family should not approach Lou Suyi in the future.

After Madam Yin and Aunt Ke left, Xianfu Palace seemed to return to its previous bustling state.

Murong took the child from Lou Suyi's arms and weighed it in his hand: "It's heavy."

Lou Suyi smiled and replied, "Children grow up quickly, they change every day."

Murong glanced at Lou Suyi and saw that her complexion was rosy, indicating that she had a good postpartum period.

The sight of Murong holding the child and standing with Lou Suyi made everyone envious.

But seeing Murong's indifferent attitude towards Lou Suyi made Da Kuan feel somewhat more at ease.

After all, Murong rarely visited Xianfu Palace before and after Lou Suyi gave birth. If it weren't for today being the little prince's full-month celebration, Murong probably wouldn't have come to Xianfu Palace either.
Lou Suyi only gets to see the emperor's face because of her child; she's useless.

Looking at Lou Suyi, who is still wearing a monk's robe and hat, does he not intend to return to secular life?

Another point is that Murong Ruo intended to bestow a title upon Lou Suyi, which should have been done as soon as she gave birth to the child, but there has been no progress so far. They think that Murong only wants to use Lou Suyi's womb and has no real interest in Lou Suyi herself.

Thinking about it this way, everyone felt more at ease.
