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

Chapter 293 The Empress came to greet me specially?

Inside Xianfu Palace, Lou Suyi waited from day to night, but Murong still hadn't brought the child back, and she started to get a little angry.

"If Your Highness misses the young prince, why don't you go to Qianqing Palace to bring him back?" Yan Hui suggested from the side.

She was also conflicted.

On the one hand, she felt that His Majesty was not devoted enough to the Empress and that he did not love her. On the other hand, she hoped that His Majesty would one day realize his feelings for the Empress and that they were romantic love.

On one hand, she hoped that the Empress and His Majesty would be a loving couple, devoted to each other for life; on the other hand, she also hoped that the Empress would cruelly mistreat His Majesty.

Lou Suying thought to herself that she would never go to Qianqing Palace. Just as she was about to reject Yan Hui's suggestion, she suddenly thought of a way and her eyes lit up: "Jinshu, go to Qianqing Palace and bring Chen'er back!"

Yes, why didn't she think of sending someone to pick up her son?

Murong told her not to go to Qianqing Palace, and she simply refused. But if she asked Jinshu to pick up the child, even Murong wouldn't dare to criticize her.

She also specifically asked Yan Hui, Ji Li, and others to go pick up the child together, so that they could help each other in case of any unexpected events on the palace road.

When Jinshu and her entourage arrived at Qianqing Palace, they were still some distance from Hanzhang Room when they heard the little prince's earth-shattering cries.

The group exchanged glances and quickened their pace.

When Ji Qing saw Jin Shu arrive, he instinctively looked behind her. When he couldn't see Lou Suyi anymore, he was somewhat disappointed: "Didn't Her Majesty the Empress come?"

Although His Majesty didn't say it, he could tell that His Majesty had been waiting for the Empress, but only the Empress's maidservant appeared.

"Her Majesty the Empress is busy and worried about His Highness, so she specially sent us to pick him up and take him back to Xianfu Palace," Jinshu explained her purpose.

Hearing the commotion, Murong carried the child over and happened to overhear Jinshu's words.

"If the Empress wants to take the child back, she should do it herself. I don't feel comfortable entrusting Chen'er to you," Murong said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Hui couldn't help but defend her mistress: "Your Majesty, last time Your Majesty specifically instructed the Empress not to come to Qianqing Palace unless there was a reason. It's not that the Empress didn't want to come, but that the Empress could not disobey His Majesty's decree."

Jinshu, who was listening nearby, felt a chill for Yan Hui. She gently kicked Yan Hui, but still couldn't stop him from finishing his sentence.

Murong pursed her lips tightly, and for a moment the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Ji Qing thought to himself, "Yan Hui is really bold. Isn't this bringing up old grievances?"
But on second thought, Yan Hui's words didn't seem to be wrong.

Indeed, His Majesty had told the Empress not to appear in the Qianqing Palace unless it was something important. If the Empress suddenly came, it would be considered disobeying the imperial decree, and it is not fair to say that the Empress was wrong.

After Yan Hui finished speaking, she was actually a little scared, but she didn't regret it.

Even if she was punished by His Majesty, she did not think she was wrong. It was His Majesty who had issued an edict not to let the Empress come.

If the Empress were to come and be charged by His Majesty with disobeying an imperial decree, who would she turn to for justice?
After a deathly silence, Murong picked up the crying child and walked out.

Jinshu and Yan Hui exchanged a glance, wondering what His Majesty meant.

Ji Qing hurriedly followed behind Murong: "Your Majesty..."

"Prepare the carriage for Xianfu Palace," Murong said without turning his head.

Ji Qing quickly agreed.

Jinshu and Yanhui were both a little nervous, worried that His Majesty was going to cause trouble for the Empress.

They followed closely behind.

Lou Suyi was eager to see her child and was getting impatient, so she went to the gate of Xianfu Palace to look around.

When she saw the grand imperial procession heading towards Xianfu Palace, she thought something major had happened. Murong dismounted from the palanquin and, seeing Lou Suying, asked, "Did the Empress come to greet me?"

Lou Suyi thought to herself, "No, I'm here to welcome my son."

But she still said something she didn't mean: "Yes, I don't know why I thought of His Majesty, so I came out to see, and I didn't expect that the imperial procession would actually come. His Majesty and I are really in sync."

Jinshu and Yan Hui, who were initially tense, knew that everything was fine after hearing their master's compliment; His Majesty would most likely not blame the Empress.

Murong saw that Lou Suyi's eyes were glued to her son, and she knew that Lou Suyi was lying. She had clearly come out to wait for her child.

"mother……"

Xiao Muchen, who was sobbing weakly from crying, immediately perked up the moment he saw Lou Suyi and rushed towards her.

Lou Suyi quickly picked up the child: "Little crybaby, why do you cry so ugly?"

As soon as Xiao Muchen was in his mother's arms, he immediately stopped crying and started laughing, excitedly cupping Lou Suyi's face and kissing her.

Murong frowned slightly upon seeing this: "Isn't it a bit much for him to be so clingy with you?"

"What's wrong with that? It's normal for such a young child to be inseparable from his mother." Lou Suyi glanced at Murong with annoyance, then turned and went back to the palace with the child in her arms.

So, why did Murong personally return the child?

However, she was quickly drawn to the child, and the way Xiao Muchen clung tightly to her neck, as if afraid of being abandoned, made her feel extremely sorry for him, and she had no mind to think about anything else.

Whether it was from crying itself out or from the special sense of security a mother's embrace makes, the little one soon snuggled in her arms and fell into a sweet sleep.

She placed the little one on the bed and gazed at him intently for a long while before suddenly remembering that Murong was still there.

She turned around and saw Murong looking hesitant: "Your Majesty, please say what you want to say."

Murong said calmly, "It's nothing."

Lou Suyi didn't think much of it and went straight to bed. She couldn't get enough of her son's sleeping face and didn't notice that Murong was left standing there.

Seeing that Lou Suyi was ignoring him, Murong sat down on the edge of the bed and tugged at Lou Suyi's sleeve.

Lou Suyi looked over: "What's wrong?"

Murong opened his mouth, then changed the subject: "You spoil the child too much."

"I haven't spoiled the child, but I miss him terribly since I haven't seen him for a day." Lou Suyi's gaze never left the child's face.

Murong fell silent again.

Lou Suyi looked at the child for a while before she could bear to look away. She finally realized something was wrong: "Your Majesty, please speak plainly."

He stammered and mumbled, but he didn't seem like the type to dawdle.

Murong coughed lightly, looking slightly uncomfortable: "It's just what I told you last time. Don't take it to heart. I was in a bad mood that day, so I spoke a little harshly. I didn't mean to dislike you."

Lou Suyi didn't understand for a moment: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Last time I told you not to go to Qianqing Palace unless it was important, but that wasn't what I really meant." Once Murong put it out there, it wasn't so hard to say anymore.

Lou Suyi suddenly realized: "So that's what it is. I think His Majesty is right. Qianqing Palace is not like other places. It's best not to go there unless necessary."

Anyway, she avoids going if she can avoid it, which saves her trouble.
