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

Chapter 189 Your Majesty, please treat me better from now on.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Chen was in good spirits, and recalling that Imperial Physician Liu had said that his mother had rested well last night, Murong knew that it was Lou Suying's doing.

He looked at the little nun who was eating quietly beside him, his eyes softening slightly: "Suyi, thanks to you for saving Mother yesterday, you've worked hard."

Lou Suyi rarely saw Murong speak to her so solemnly, and she was a little unaccustomed to it: "It's no trouble at all, just a small matter. Your Majesty doesn't need to be so polite with me."

Murong glanced at Lou Suyi again, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "That's true. You saved Chen'er's grandmother, and you are my woman, so saving the Empress Dowager is indeed your duty. However, not everyone has the courage to jump into the lake to save someone."

Moreover, she was a delicate and frail woman.

Lou Suying, on the other hand, was carefree. Seeing that Empress Dowager Chen seemed to have emerged from the gloom of falling into the lake last night, she was happy for her.

"Suyi, come out with me." After breakfast, Murong said to Lou Suyi.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Chen took the child and gestured for Lou Suying to follow quickly.

Lou Suyi followed Murong with small, quick steps: "What is it, Your Majesty?"

Murong didn't respond, and Lou Suying didn't ask any more questions until she followed Murong into his bedroom.

The next moment, Murong suddenly hugged her.

Lou Suying was somewhat surprised, then recalled the scene of Murong hugging her yesterday. She thought, he must be grateful to her for saving Empress Dowager Chen, right?
She patted Murong's back gently, just like when she was putting a child to sleep.

Murong's initial complex emotions vanished because of her action.

He let go of her, recalling the scene yesterday when she bravely jumped into the lake to save her mother, and he was still very grateful that she was there at the time.

"Suyi, thank you for saving Mother." Murong repeated.

Lou Suying smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons: "Then Your Majesty, please treat me better from now on, and don't speak so harshly..."

She had barely opened her mouth when she saw Murong's face darken.

Her face flushed slightly: "That's true. His Majesty always speaks so harshly, as if I were His Majesty's enemy."

She was just telling the truth, so why was he unhappy?

Murong frowned and looked at Lou Suyi for a while before saying, "When have I ever regarded you as an enemy? Tell me carefully."

He was just telling the truth, so how was he being harsh?

Lou Suying thought for a moment before saying, "Last time His Majesty said my handwriting looked like it was chewed by a dog! Even though His Majesty taught me how to write, if His Majesty said that about me, doesn't that mean His Majesty is an unqualified teacher?"

Only someone who considers her an enemy would belittle her like that, right?

Murong was speechless for a moment. After a brief silence, he reflected and said, "What you said makes sense. I will speak more politely in the future. However, most of the time, I am telling the truth."

Lou Suyi glared at him upon hearing this: "Is my handwriting really that bad?"

"It's not that bad! After all, I am your teacher. However, I am strict with you to encourage your progress."

Lou Suying glanced at Murong: "Does Your Majesty have anything else? If not, I'll return to the Empress Dowager's side."

Murong then remembered that he had called Lou Suying over to ask her something important: "Who do you think is the most suspicious in this case?"

This question stumped Lou Suying: "Your Majesty has asked the wrong person, hasn't he? The situation was chaotic at the time, and I wasn't by the Empress Dowager's side, so I don't know what happened in between, let alone Your Majesty's interrogation process..." Before she could finish speaking, Murong handed her the confession.

Lou Suyi was also a victim, so she immediately took the confession and carefully read it.

At first glance, the testimony was nothing special. As Murong said, all ten concubines were around him at the time, and each of them had witnesses to testify to the matter. In other words, none of the concubines had the opportunity to hypnotize Wang Mama. If that's the case, then it wasn't these concubines who knew hypnosis, right?

Those skilled in hypnosis were likely the close attendants of these concubines.

However, each concubine only brought one attendant with her on this trip. These attendants were always by their respective mistresses' side at all times, and there were witnesses to prove that they had never left.

"Are there any loopholes in the testimony?" Murong saw Lou Suyi's brows furrowed, thinking she had noticed something.

Lou Suyi thought to herself that she wasn't a professional detective. If even the emperor couldn't see the flaws, how could she?
She shoved the testimony back into Murong's hands: "Forgive my poor eyesight, but I can't see it. Your Majesty should consult a specialist in solving cases."

Seeing that she was about to turn and leave, Murong suddenly threw the confession on the ground.

Lou Suying turned around at the sound and saw that Murong had thrown away the confession. Confused, she asked, "Why did Your Majesty throw away the confession?"

"I'm in a bad mood." Murong's expression was gloomy. "My mother was pushed into the water, but we only found one old woman, Wang Mama. My mother suffered for nothing, but I can't find the culprit. I'm really useless!"

Lou Suyi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to comfort Murong.

She felt that Murong was not the kind of person who would be troubled by such things. When did he become so vulnerable?
"Should I ask Consort Hui to comfort His Majesty?" she asked softly.

Murong looked at her upon hearing this, and suddenly reached out to her: "Come here!"

Lou Suying was puzzled, but she still walked up to him. The next moment, he hugged her tightly: "Stay with me, I will get better soon."

Lou Suyi thought to herself that her embrace was so effective that it could soothe the emperor's emotions.

Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice Murong carrying her to bed. Once they were lying face-to-face, Lou Suying blushed and said, "Isn't this...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Empress Dowager Chen just went through such a major event, how could he have the mood to do this kind of thing in broad daylight?
Murong Shenming looked at her, puzzled: "What's not good?"

Lou Suyi was speechless for a moment, and in a daze she felt that she might have misunderstood. The emperor just wanted her to keep him company for a while, and did not intend to do anything to her body.

At this moment, Murong reached out and pulled her into his arms: "I haven't slept all night, stay with me and sleep for a while."

Lou Suyi didn't expect that he hadn't slept all night, and that it was his mother who had fallen into the lake. It was normal for him to be eager to find the murderer.

Perhaps it was because she had become a mother that she could particularly understand such blood ties. Even though he was an emperor, even though he was born into a cold royal family, he still valued filial piety and righteousness.

After all, not everyone is as cold-blooded as Aunt Ke, who could even discard her own daughter like trash.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'll just stay with Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please sleep peacefully," Lou Suying replied softly.

Upon hearing this, Murong opened his eyes, looked at the little nun in his arms for a while, and then fell asleep peacefully.

At first, Ji Qing could still hear the two people talking inside, but then there was no sound. Curious, he peeked out and saw the two masters sleeping in each other's arms.

Actually, when nothing was found out in the morning, His Majesty seemed a little anxious. He told His Majesty to take a nap, but His Majesty wouldn't listen.

So it was the Fourth Miss's skill that easily coaxed His Majesty to sleep.
