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

Chapter 290 The Empress's murderous intent towards her own husband...

The servants at Xianfu Palace exchanged bewildered glances upon witnessing this scene, genuinely worried for the Empress, who dared to harm His Majesty's health in such a way.

Your Majesty is usually aloof and high above others; who has ever seen this side of Your Majesty?
It's fortunate that it's their Empress; who else would dare to throw snowballs at His Majesty's face? If His Majesty's face were accidentally ruined, it would be a capital offense!
Jinshu asked Jiqing, who was standing there stunned, in a low voice, "Are His Majesty and the Empress alright?"

Ji Qing finally came to his senses. He thought Jin Shu was worried about the Empress, so he said, "His Majesty is careful and will not hurt the Empress."

What amazed him was the fierceness with which the Empress threw snowballs at His Majesty's face; anyone who didn't know better would have thought the Empress was dealing with an enemy.

His Majesty showed mercy to the Empress; otherwise, a snowball thrown at her face would have likely swollen it.

To be honest, he was more worried about His Majesty.

Sure enough, the Empress retaliated the next moment, climbing onto His Majesty's back and throwing snow at his face.

Not only was Ji Qing dumbfounded, but everyone serving at Xianfu Palace was also taken aback by Lou Suyi's fierce and outspoken nature.

Jinshu felt that the Empress was too ruthless. What if His Majesty held a grudge?

Just as Jinshu was worried that Murong would lose his temper, the situation changed again.

Lou Suying was smearing snowballs on Murong's face when she suddenly felt dizzy and was suddenly pulled into a horizontal embrace. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the position and was about to continue throwing snowballs at his face when Murong suddenly leaned down and kissed her forehead.

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should throw the snowball in her hand at his face.

The onlookers were taken aback by the sudden change in atmosphere, and they all turned away in unison, not daring to peek at the emperor and empress showing their affection.

Lou Suying was a little uncomfortable for a moment. She said irritably, "Your Majesty can't beat me, so you resort to using your good looks. I'm not falling for that!"

"I surrender. The Empress is right, snowball fights are a lot of fun." Seeing her struggle, Murong put her down.

Lou Suying, clutching the snowball in her hand, looked at Murong: "Your Majesty, are you not going to play anymore?"

"No, with the Empress's ruthlessness in trying to murder her husband, I can't beat her." Murong's lips curled up.

Lou Suyi looked slightly embarrassed, not daring to admit that she did indeed have ulterior motives.

He was usually aloof and superior, and now that she finally had a chance to mess with him, she was naturally unwilling to let it go.

Murong saw Lou Suyi's fingers, which were red from the cold, so he brushed the snowballs from her palms and led her into the palace with her icy hand.

Lou Suying passively followed Murong into the hall until he handed her a hand warmer: "Warm your hands."

Ji Qing followed over and said to Murong with concern, "Your Majesty's face is swollen. Please apply some ointment to reduce the swelling. New Year's Eve is just a few days away. If the Empress Dowager sees Your Majesty injured, she will be heartbroken."

As he spoke, he made a point of glancing at Lou Suyi.

It's only because the Empress is ruthless that she could inflict such a terrible attack on His Majesty.

Lou Suyi looked away, showing no guilt whatsoever.

When Jiqing brought the ointment, Murong said to Lou Suyi, "Empress, please apply the ointment for me." Lou Suyi chuckled and said, "Your Majesty is too delicate."

“That’s not how it works. His Majesty is of noble status and cannot afford to make any mistakes, especially with His Majesty’s precious face,” Ji Qing immediately retorted Lou Suyi’s words.

The Empress is heartless; she's so cruel to His Majesty's handsome face.

“That’s true. His Majesty isn’t as thick-skinned as I am,” Lou Suyi said with a half-smile, taking the ointment and applying it to Murong.

Murong said calmly, "Didn't the Empress say that my face is handsome? If the Empress likes it, then naturally I will care."

Lou Suyi was speechless, and found that Murong's words made some sense.

Putting everything else aside, it would be a terrible waste to ruin Murong's face.

She was more careful and gentle when applying the medicine.

Looking at the woman so close to him, and recalling the fierce way she had thrown snowballs at him, Murong couldn't help but feel confused: "Is the Empress dissatisfied with me?"

Lou Suying's hand almost trembled. It took her a while to steady it. She replied innocently, "Your Majesty has never had a snowball fight before. You don't know that a snowball fight is only fun if it's played seriously. I can't just let Your Majesty win because of your special status, can I? If I did, Your Majesty would not win honorably."

She leaned closer to Murong's face, her eyes full of sincerity, and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured, no matter when or where, Your Majesty's face is always the most beautiful."

Ji Qing watched from the side and thought that the Empress was all talk and no action, but His Majesty, such a serious person, was easily swayed by her charms.

As expected, because of the Empress's flattering words, His Majesty stopped pursuing the matter, and the matter was dropped.

As Lou Suying put the ointment into the medicine box, Ji Qing whispered a word of advice: "Your Majesty should not spoil the Empress too much. His Majesty's health has been damaged today, and I'm afraid that the Empress will still not know her own strength in the future..."

He wanted to try to persuade her again, but when His Majesty looked at him, he realized he had been meddling. It was clear that His Majesty was unconditionally indulging the Empress.

Even if it was just the Empress's feigned affection, His Majesty appreciated it.

Lou Suying was unaware that Ji Qing didn't trust her, the Empress. But she could feel Ji Qing's resentful gaze following her like a shadow, as if she had mistreated his noble Emperor.

In fact, the Xianfu Palace had given Murong all the good food and drinks, so what more did she want?

While Murong was taking care of the child, Jiqing couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, please treat His Majesty a little better. His Majesty is busy from beginning to end all year round. He finally has a little free time today after the imperial seal was conferred, but Your Majesty leaves the little prince to His Majesty to take care of. The Empress's own affairs are also handed over to His Majesty to manage. Can't Your Majesty feel a little more sorry for His Majesty?"

Lou Suyi was speechless for a moment. She looked at Murong, who was playing with his son, and thought that the emperor was really enjoying this family bliss.

Besides, it was Murong who wanted to help her with the work, not the other way around. How can it be said that she was abusing the emperor?
"You should say that to His Majesty. It was His Majesty who wanted to play with Chen'er. You yourself said that His Majesty has been busy from the beginning to the end of the year and has had very little time to spend with Chen'er. Now that he finally has a chance to spend time with Chen'er, you want to take it away from him. Jiqing, what evil thoughts are you harboring?" Lou Suyi turned the tables on Jiqing.

Ji Qing slumped his shoulders, defeated, and realized that he couldn't win an argument with the Empress.

The Empress has a whole bunch of fallacies, but anyway, she's unlikely to care about His Majesty.

"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? You are not His Majesty, how can you know that His Majesty does not like to play with Chen'er?" Lou Suyi said calmly.

Haha
