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

Chapter 270 Does Murong have a heart?

Lou Suyi said calmly, "Whether you sisters are successful or fall from grace is none of my business, and Consort Ning doesn't need to speak in such a harsh tone. After all, I'm right, whether you are favored by His Majesty is your business, what does it have to do with me? I'm just doing my own thing, and I don't mean to look down on you. I'm just stating the facts, and you don't need to take it personally."

Consort Ning looked humiliated by her, her pride was terrifyingly strong, who was she trying to impress by playing the victim?
Consort Ning then realized that she had lost her composure. She had indeed overreacted, probably due to her pride, feeling that Lou Suying's words had made her lose face.

The others were also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Consort Ning would also lose her composure.

"Your Majesty is right. My words were inappropriate. I hope Your Majesty will not hold it against me." Consort Ning realized her mistake and immediately apologized to Lou Suyi.

Lou Suying glanced at her and leisurely opened her lips: "I have never held any grudges against any of you. I will put my words here today: if you have grievances, you need to find the root cause, instead of blaming others. Although I am the Empress, I do not have the ability to influence His Majesty's actions."

At this point, she looked at Consort De and asked, "Consort De, do you have anything else to say?"

Consort De was filled with resentment, but Lou Suyi's words were always perfectly reasonable.

No matter how capable Lou Suying was, she couldn't sway Murong's decision. How could someone with Murong's temperament possibly take orders from a woman?

He didn't enter the harem because he himself didn't want to.

"Isn't it because His Majesty is so infatuated with the Empress that he doesn't go into the inner palace?" Consort De was unwilling to let the topic end there and deliberately shifted the blame onto Lou Suyi.

Lou Suying was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this: "Consort De, you think too highly of me. His Majesty is very busy with state affairs, that's the real reason."

She couldn't possibly say that Murong didn't move around the harem because the concubines present failed to attract his attention, could she?

Consort De felt that Lou Suyi was lying through her teeth.

It is because Murong likes Lou Suyi that he looks down on all other women, which is why he doesn't frequent the harem.

But he is the emperor. What kind of talk is it if he only has Lou Suyi as his woman?

She, a transmigrated woman, accepted the fact that she had to share the same man with other women, so why should Lou Suyi, a reborn woman, steal all of the male lead's love?

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so Your Majesty should remind him that there are many sisters in the harem waiting for him. As the Empress, Your Majesty has the duty to urge Your Majesty to move around in the harem!" Consort De said in a deep voice.

Empresses of any dynasty have such obligations, so why should Lou Suyi be allowed to monopolize the emperor's favor?

Lou Suyi's expression remained unchanged: "His Majesty is a man of his own mind. Where he goes is his business. I am just a woman with no ability, and I cannot possibly influence His Majesty's thoughts. I will say it again: how you vie for favor is your own business. Don't try to shift the blame onto me."

There's no explicit rule that the empress has to do such a thankless task; she must be out of her mind to push Murong towards other women.

Consort De's expression changed slightly, and she slammed her hand on the table, exclaiming, "Your Majesty the Empress dares to say you have no selfish motives?!"

This was originally the duty of the Empress, and Lou Suyi was no longer going to pretend!

"Consort De, how dare you be so disrespectful in front of Her Majesty the Empress!" Jinshu shouted coldly.

Lou Suyi said, "I understand that Consort De is venting her anger, but this kind of thing should not be repeated. Consort De, please don't go crazy in Xianfu Palace. I am not a person with a good temper either."

Consort De looked at the silent others and angrily questioned, "Are you all dead? Didn't you see that the Empress wants to monopolize His Majesty? If none of you dare to resist, you'll only be destined to live as widows forever..." Seeing Consort De lose control of her emotions, Consort Ning reminded her in a deep voice, "Consort De, you've gone too far!"

Consort De, her eyes bloodshot, glared at Consort Ning and roared, "Don't you feel aggrieved? We've served His Majesty for years, yet a mere nun has risen to power. What right does she have to win His Majesty's heart and soul? What right does she have?!"

She was blinded by jealousy, wishing she could wake up all the women in the harem, unite them, and fight her way out.

Lou Suyi never expected that Consort De would go crazy in public.

But there was one thing she couldn't understand: she had indeed taken Murong's virginity, but she had never dared to covet Murong's heart.

Besides, does Murong even have a heart?

Everyone felt sorrow as they watched Consort De go mad.

Before Lou Suyi appeared, Consort De was a so-called favored concubine in the harem, and even the rumored "white moonlight." But in front of Lou Suyi, Consort De was powerless to fight back, and today she was like a madwoman, helplessly screaming.

Consort Ning was worried that Lou Suyi would punish Consort De, so she quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Consort De is emotionally unstable. I will take her back first and come to pay my respects to Your Majesty another day."

Lou Suyi was too lazy to argue with Consort De: "Fine, take her back."

Consort Ning was about to leave with Consort De when Consort De rushed up to Lou Suyi: "Explain yourself! How did you manage to bewitch His Majesty? He won't even let me touch him. Did you put a love potion on him...?"

"Consort De is not in her right mind. Take her back to Changqiu Palace. She doesn't need to embarrass herself in public for the next month!" Lou Suyi stood up and issued her first imperial edict since ascending to the position of Empress.

Seeing this, Consort Ning tried to plead for Consort De: "Your Majesty, please have mercy! Consort De only lost her composure for a moment..."

"You don't need to say anything more. If you utter another word, I will punish you as well!" Lou Suyi interrupted Consort Ning.

Consort Ning had no choice but to shut up and whispered to Consort De, "Sister, let's go back first and not act rashly."

Consort De burst into tears: "What kind of world is this? Don't I even have the right to speak the truth anymore? Just because she's the Empress, I'm being punished and confined to my quarters for telling the truth. I don't want to stay in this feudal society without human rights anymore. I... I want to go home..."

Lou Suyi thought Consort De was talking nonsense. She thought that Consort De was going to go home after entering the palace. Maybe in her next life.

She didn't want to argue with Consort De any longer, and said impatiently, "Take her away."

Cloudberry and Blueberry stepped forward together and took the crazed Consort De away.

Consort Ning, worried about Consort De, also went out.

Consort Ning escorted Consort De back to Changqiu Palace. Seeing that Consort De had returned to normal, she gently comforted her, "From now on, don't go against Her Majesty the Empress anymore. It won't do you any good. This confinement could have been avoided, but you lost control of your emotions and couldn't be persuaded. Fortunately, Her Majesty the Empress is not a strict person. It's just a month of confinement. Consider it a lesson learned."

Consort De did calm down, and she realized that she had lost control.

She looked at Consort Ning and said, "Thank you for speaking up for me, sister. I'm the one who has caused you trouble."

Hoho! !
