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

Chapter 21 Begging her to return to secular life

Murong turned the thumb ring on his thumb, seemingly lost in thought.

Ji Qing felt that his master's silence was tacit approval of his actions. After a moment, his master finally spoke: "No rush."

Ji Qing was delighted to hear this. Wasn't the other meaning behind these words that he wanted to bring Lou Suyi into the palace, but there was no rush?

That's right. Lou Suyi is the prey in His Majesty's hands. Hengjian can't escape His Majesty's palm. When Lou Si has no way out, won't he have to obediently walk into His Majesty's arms?
As expected, the master is well aware of human weaknesses. Someone has already put pressure on His Majesty, and now we are just waiting for Lou Si to walk into the trap. Brilliant!
His intuition told him that Lou Suyi would definitely enter the palace this time.

That fourth young lady has now become a nun. If she were to be brought into the palace, who knows what kind of upheaval it would cause!
Poor Lou Suying didn't sleep a wink that night. Just thinking about Xie Zhijie, that perverted bastard, trying to kidnap her and force her to be his concubine made her feel like she had shaved her head in vain.

As it turned out, she wasn't just being paranoid. As dawn approached, she was dozing off when several men in black burst through the door and attacked her with swords.

This time, they weren't just trying to kidnap her; they clearly wanted to take her life!
She was just a frail little nun; how could she have ever seen such a killing formation? Just as she was frantically trying to evade the assassins' pursuit, several sharp blades suddenly struck the assassins' vital points at the same time. The assassins fell to the ground and died in front of her in an instant.

She had lived for over a decade, and even after her own death, she had never seen her own corpse. To suddenly see three living people dead right in front of her was a shock to her.

Just as she was pretending to say "Amitabha," a man in black slipped into the room, grabbed a blanket, and wrapped her up, head and all.

She was stunned by this action, and it took her a while to peek through a corner of the blanket. She saw that the person who saved her quickly cleaned up the three corpses and even wiped away the bloodstains on the ground as fast as possible.

She was stunned, thinking to herself, "This savior is so considerate!"
Judging from my benefactor's figure, she looks like a woman.

Once the room was quiet again, Lou Suyi lifted the covers and pondered who the two groups of people who had come to find her were.

The first people who wanted to kidnap her were probably Xie Zhijie's men. Given Xie Zhijie's twisted and insane nature, he was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

Who were the second group of people who came to kill her? She felt that Lou Suya was the one with the strongest motive to kill her.

Murong? That's definitely not the case. In the end, she just refused to enter the palace. Although Murong is stingy, she has done him a favor, and he certainly wouldn't take her life just because she refused to enter the palace.

There is no other person who could possibly want to kill her except Lou Suya.

She didn't sleep all night and was harassed by two groups of men in black, but she still had to go to her morning prayers.

Before she could even enter the main hall, Abbess Dingyi suddenly blocked her path with an unfriendly look and warned her in a low voice, "The century-old reputation of Lotus Nunnery cannot be tarnished because of you, Kongchen. If you dare to do anything that damages the reputation of Lotus Nunnery, I will discipline you properly on behalf of the abbess!"

Lou Suyi knew that Abbess Dingyi disliked her on the very day she entered the Lotus Nunnery; she could understand this feeling with just a glance.

Lou Suyi looked exhausted and didn't bother with Master Dingyi's attempts to cause trouble.

Master Dingyi grabbed Lou Suyi's wrist tightly: "Did you hear what I said?!"

Lou Suyi frowned: "Are all nuns as fierce as you, Master, or are you the only one who is different from the other senior sisters?"

Master Dingyi was taken aback, and Lou Suyi took the opportunity to break free from her control.

Today turned out to be an eventful day. Just as she finished her morning prayers and was about to go to the dining hall for breakfast, a haggard-looking young woman called out to her, "Excuse me, are you Master Kongchen?"

Lou Suying sized up the beautiful young woman, not recognizing her: "May I ask who you are, benefactor?"

The young woman suddenly knelt before Lou Suyi: "I beg you, Abbess, to return to secular life. My surname is Chi, and my husband is the Marquis of Dingyuan... my husband..."

Lou Suying finally understood who the visitor was. She said in a deep voice, "What is Madam doing?!" Having grown up in the Lou family's environment, she knew that the Chi family woman in front of her was not simple. On the surface, she was begging Chi to return to secular life, but in reality, she was just trying to make everyone at the Lotus Nunnery think that even though she had shaved her head and become a nun, she was still seducing Qi Yan.

She had seen this kind of tactic many times before in the Lou family's backyard.

Just as Lady Chi was about to speak, Lou Suying approached her, a half-smile playing on her lips: "The dignified Lady of Dingyuan Marquis kneels before this humble nun, a woman from another world. Is your title so worthless? If so, why not have His Majesty revoke your title?"

Chi's expression changed slightly, realizing that Lou Suying was not someone to be trifled with.

Just then, Qi Yan arrived. Seeing Chi kneeling before Lou Suyi, he was furious and stepped forward, shouting, "Chi, what's wrong with you?!"

How dare she go up to Su Yi and put on such a pretentious act?
Tears streamed down Chi's face: "I only wanted to help my husband because I saw that he couldn't live without Abbess Kongchen—"

Before Madam Chi could finish speaking, Qi Yan rudely pulled her up: "My affairs are none of your business!"

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have told Madam Chi about Su Yi. He never expected that Madam Chi would cause trouble for Su Yi behind his back.

"I am doing this for my husband. I would do anything for him..."

Qi Yan immediately flew into a rage, covered Chi Shi's mouth, and dragged her away.

Seeing this farce, Lou Suying turned to the nun pointing and gesturing, smiling broadly: "Is the spectacle entertaining?"

The nuns immediately abandoned their desire to watch the spectacle and went into the dining hall to eat.

This time, however, everyone tacitly isolated Lou Suyi and kept their distance from her.

Lou Suyi didn't mind and was happy to have some peace and quiet.

When she came out after having breakfast, she saw that Master Dingyi had left with Yuping.

She wasn't surprised that Abbess Dingyi would collude with Lou Suya.

Master Dingyi didn't sleep much last night either, because she had specially changed to a meditation room closest to Lou Suyi in order to keep an eye on this woman. As a result, Lou Suyi witnessed two good shows.

"Two groups of people were looking for Fourth Sister last night?" Lou Suya was a little surprised.

“That’s right. The first group of people wanted to kidnap Kong Chen, and the second group wanted to kill her, but they were both dealt with secretly.” Abbess Dingyi told her everything she had seen.

Lou Suya felt that the first group of people must have been sent by Xie Zhijie.

Because His Majesty had decreed that Lou Suyi was not to leave the Lotus Nunnery, he deliberately sent someone to kidnap the woman, and then reappeared to rescue Lou Suyi, so that Lou Suyi's departure from the Lotus Nunnery would have nothing to do with Xie Zhijie.

Excellent! What kind of bewitching potion did Lou Suyi give Xie Zhijie? How could someone who values ​​power so much dare to defy His Majesty?

There'll be another chapter this afternoon, and then we'll be heading to the palace.
