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

Chapter 292 Is he really her biological son?

Lou Suyi felt that Yan Hui was worrying herself sick over her. She suppressed a smile and said, "I'm already cunning enough. I can't keep His Majesty tied to my waist and only allow him to look at me."

The wild geese returned speechless, unable to reply.

That day, Lou Suyi had dinner but still hadn't seen Murong bring the child back, so she couldn't help but worry about him.

Although her son was not shy around strangers and was easy to take care of, and was currently with his biological father, Murong, she still missed him dearly.

But she told herself that Murong was the child's father, and it was normal for him to take care of the child himself. She had to get used to the days when the child wasn't around.

Jinshu knew how much Lou Suying liked the little prince, and seeing her looking around from time to time, she said, "If Your Highness is worried about the little prince, it's not too late to go to Qianqing Palace now."

Lou Suyi rejected Jinshu's suggestion without hesitation: "His Majesty instructed me not to go to Qianqing Palace unless it is important. Let's forget it and let Chen'er stay in Qianqing Palace tonight."

If she suddenly runs off and is then rejected by Murong, it's better for her to stay obediently in Xianfu Palace.

As her child grows older, she has to learn to let go.

This time, neither Yan Hui nor Jin Shu tried to persuade him again; His Majesty's words were still ringing in their ears.

Lou Suyi put the matter aside after that, although she would still look around from time to time, hoping that Murong would send the child back.

As she lay down to sleep, her thoughts were still on her son.

At the same time, the Qianqing Palace was brightly lit.

Murong looked at his son, who was wailing loudly, and couldn't understand why he was crying.

Wasn't he supposed to be very well-behaved? But when he cries, it's earth-shattering; the entire Qianqing Palace can hear his sobs.

"I heard that the child is too young to be separated from his mother. How about I send the young prince back to Xianfu Palace?" Jiqing felt sorry for the young master crying so pitifully.

“This child is so big, he doesn’t need to be the Empress, let him cry!” Murong said coldly.

Ji Qing sensed that her mistress seemed to be in a bad mood, as if she had been wearing a cold face ever since she returned from Xianfu Palace. Later, when Consort De came to Qianqing Palace, she was so frightened by her mistress's icy expression that she dared not linger and slunk away on her own.

I just don't know who offended His Majesty, that His Majesty has not smiled yet.

The poor little prince cried until his voice was hoarse, calling for his mother as he cried, but His Majesty remained unmoved and forbade him from comforting him.

Xiao Muchen was still crying his heart out, while Murong made sarcastic remarks from the side: "What's the use of crying? Your mother won't pay attention to you. You've been gone for so long and she hasn't come looking for you. You know you have no place in her heart."

Ji Qing was secretly shocked. What was His Majesty doing? To say such cruel things to such a young child, was this even his biological son?
Whether or not Xiao Muchen understood, he suddenly cried even more heartbreakingly.

Murong was heartless; she stood by and watched coldly, forbidding Jiqing from comforting him, and even told him to let little Muchen cry his fill.

The people serving the emperor looked at each other in surprise, never expecting that such a serious person as His Majesty would be so serious about a child who was not even a year old.

Everyone adores the young prince, and seeing him cry so pitifully breaks their hearts. Only His Majesty neither comforts nor cares for him, letting the young prince cry as he pleases.

The little prince cried for another half an hour, and finally, in despair, he realized that no one cared about him and he couldn't find his mother. In the end, he pouted, stuck out his bottom in grievance, and fell asleep on the pillow.

Ji Qing breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step forward to cover the young prince with a blanket when he discovered that His Majesty was one step ahead of him, tucking the young prince into the blanket and looking at him for a long time with complicated expressions.

At this moment, he felt that His Majesty was not so heartless after all. He was clearly heartbroken, but he was unwilling to comfort the little prince.

Fortunately, the young prince fell asleep, and His Majesty breathed a sigh of relief.

"You may all leave." Murong waved his hand, feeling that taking care of children was much more difficult than handling government affairs.

Especially since this child is so good at crying, only he wouldn't spoil him. If it were Lou Suying, she would definitely have gone up to coax him by now. After being tormented by Xiao Muchen until this hour, Murong was also exhausted and planned to go to bed early.

But even lying on the bed, looking at his child's sleeping face, he couldn't fall asleep.

Hearing Murong tossing and turning, Ji Qing knew that his master was not asleep.

"Does Your Majesty have any instructions?" Ji Qing asked respectfully.

"It's alright, you should go and rest too. I don't need you to serve me here," Murong's voice came from inside the tent.

Ji Qing was about to leave as instructed, but Murong called out to him, "Ji Qing..."

"Yes, Your Majesty. What are your orders?" Ji Qing asked hurriedly.

"Is it because I spoke harshly to the Empress at Qianqing Palace last time that she didn't come today?" Murong asked uncertainly.

The Lou Suying he knew was a person with a strong sense of self-respect; she would only rise to the challenge time and time again when facing Xie Zhijie.

Ji Qing was surprised that his master would ask him this question. How was he supposed to answer it?

He didn't know what the Empress was thinking, or whether she still remembered what happened last time.

"This servant thought Her Majesty the Empress was a magnanimous person and wouldn't hold such a small matter against her for long," Ji Qing replied after hesitating.

“You don’t understand her. She has a very strong sense of self-respect. Many years ago, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to bring her into the palace, but because that palace maid looked down on her, she immediately turned against her and refused to enter the palace,” Murong said calmly.

Ji Qing never imagined he had such a past.

Originally, as the Empress's daughter born out of wedlock, she wouldn't have been invited to even palace banquets. However, because she had once saved His Majesty's life, both the Empress Dowager and His Majesty were grateful for this favor, which led to that incident.

“Things are different now. Surely Your Majesty the Empress won’t be as reckless as before?” Ji Qingzhen replied after getting drunk.

"Never mind, you can go and rest." Murong didn't discuss the matter with Ji Qing anymore.

He always felt that Lou Suying didn't come to Qianqing Palace today because he had said some harsh words last time.

Otherwise, given that she and her son are always together, how could she not come to pick him up at such an important time in the evening?

Although Murong didn't sleep well last night because of the holiday, it wasn't a big deal; at least he could stay up late and get up early.

Xiao Muchen got up early in the morning, his eyes still a little swollen. As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked for Lou Suyi's figure and called out to Murong, "Mother!"

"Just you wait and see if your mother comes looking for you." Murong pinched the child's rosy cheek.

Ji Qing's brow twitched. Did His Majesty not intend to send the young prince back to Xianfu Palace?

If the Empress doesn't come to see the young prince, will the young prince have to cry again tonight?

Thinking of what happened last night, Ji Qing swallowed hard and asked directly, "Isn't Your Majesty going to send the young prince back to Xianfu Palace?"

"No rush." ​​Murong had his own plan.

He wanted to know if Lou Suyi was really that composed and could resist coming to find her son.

Upon hearing Murong's answer, Ji Qing knew he had guessed correctly; His Majesty truly had no intention of sending the young prince back to Xianfu Palace.
