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

Chapter 332 The Emperor is Cold-Blooded and Ruthless
Murong then remembered that Lou Suying was pregnant with the imperial heir, which was a great joy.

"Of course I like it. I would like it even more if this child were a princess." A faint smile appeared on Murong's face, and these words came from the bottom of his heart.

The Empress Dowager had been lamenting the lack of imperial heirs a few days ago, and some ministers in the court were "concerned" about his harem affairs, even worrying that his offspring would dwindle, and advising him to visit the harem more often.

The fact that the Empress is now pregnant with the Emperor's child will shut some people up.

Lou Suyi felt that Murong was not a normal emperor. Don't emperors usually prefer princes? But he was obsessed with the princess.

She had always wanted to have another child, since Empress Dowager Chen kept nagging her to have two more. Now that she was actually pregnant, she found it unbelievable.

"Why do I feel different this time around?" Lou Suyi asked, puzzled.

When she was pregnant with Xiao Muchen, she only felt sleepy but not tired. However, she felt tired all day long during this pregnancy.

"It's just that the pregnancy symptoms are different. Your Majesty, please rest and take care of your pregnancy. Let others handle the important matters. Right now, Your Majesty only needs to rest and recuperate. Things will get better after these days." As he spoke, Imperial Physician Liu quickly wrote out a prescription to help with the pregnancy.

"Is my pregnancy going well?" Lou Suyi asked, a little worried when she realized she had to take medicine.

Imperial Physician Liu knew that Lou Suying was worrying unnecessarily, and explained, "The medicine to prevent miscarriage is not only good for Her Majesty the Empress, but also for the little prince. Your Majesty need not be nervous. Your Majesty is in good health, and there are currently no problems with this pregnancy."

Lou Suyi was finally relieved.

She's a mother, but she's still nervous.

Because it was her second pregnancy, Lou Suying did not hide the news of her pregnancy, and it quickly spread throughout the entire harem, causing quite a stir.

When Empress Dowager Chen received the news, she was so happy that she almost cried, and she kept repeating the phrase "wearing plain clothes is a sign of good fortune."

Soon Empress Dowager Chen arrived at Xianfu Palace with a pile of tonics to visit Lou Suyi, the pregnant woman.

Fangruo joked, "The Empress Dowager is happier than anyone else that Her Majesty the Empress is pregnant with the imperial heir. She would love to send all the tonics from Shou'an Palace to Her Majesty."

Lou Suyi chuckled awkwardly, "I have plenty of tonics here. Mother, you should take them back. His Majesty also sent some tonics from the storeroom just now."

She only has one stomach, how could she possibly consume so many tonics?
It has to be said that this mother and son even give each other the same gifts.

"That means you deserve it. Besides, what kind of gift is it to take back after it's been given?" Empress Dowager Chen said irritably.

Murong chimed in, "Yes, this shows that the Empress Dowager values ​​you and the child. You have rendered meritorious service in bearing the imperial heir, and you deserve no amount of favor."

Consort De and the others happened to come over to congratulate Lou Suyi and overheard Murong's words.

They could also bear royal offspring, but Murong didn't give them the chance at all. Isn't that infuriating?

Before Lou Suyi became empress, she kept her pregnancy a secret. Now that they know she is pregnant, and since she is the empress, even if she doesn't want to come, she has to put on an act.

After paying her respects to the Emperor and Empress, Consort De offered her congratulations insincerely: "I heard that Your Majesty the Empress is pregnant with the imperial heir. What a joyous occasion! Congratulations to Your Majesty the Empress and His Majesty."

"You're too kind, Consort De," Lou Suyi said politely.

Others also congratulated Lou Suyi, and the room was filled with laughter and joy.

Consort Tao looked curiously at Lou Suyi's belly, wondering if she was carrying a princess or a prince. Lou Suyi's life was truly fortunate; despite being a lowly concubine's daughter, she had become Empress.

They didn't even have the chance to serve the emperor, yet Lou Suying became pregnant with the emperor's child again. Comparison is truly infuriating.

Lou Suyi noticed that Tao Zhaoyi was staring at her stomach, so she instinctively covered her abdomen.

"Her Majesty the Empress is sure to have another prince this time," Consort Tao said with certainty.

Her intention was to deliberately elevate the child; if the child were to be born and it turned out to be a princess, His Majesty would surely be disappointed.

But no sooner had she finished speaking than His Majesty looked over with an unfriendly gaze.

Lou Suyi knew what Tao Zhaoyi was up to and wanted to provoke this woman, so she smiled and said, "Sister Tao, you don't know, His Majesty wants a sweet and soft little princess. He also said that if this child is a daughter, then we will have both a son and a daughter."

Tao Zhaoyi still had a smile on her face, but the smile had obviously become stiff.

She quickly changed her words, saying, "Then His Majesty will surely get what he wants, and it would be a wonderful thing if the Empress gave birth to a little princess."

As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Dowager Chen looked over again, clearly dissatisfied with her statement that this pregnancy was a princess.

Tao Zhaoyi felt caught in the middle, so she simply shut up and stopped talking.

The Xianfu Palace was packed with people, but someone inadvertently mentioned Liang Wanying, and the room immediately fell silent.

Since being demoted, Leung Wan-ying has rarely appeared in public, and everyone has tacitly stopped mentioning her.

Everyone had some idea that Liang Wanying had been framed, but the fact remained that she had been demoted. Even if Liang Wanying was unwilling, her position in the palace was now very awkward. If it were anyone else, they would not want to come out and see people either.

Liang Wanying's starting point was too high; she became a favored concubine after entering the palace during the reign of the late emperor.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, she went from being a concubine to one of his concubines, enjoying unparalleled prestige.

But the harem is ever-changing. The current Liang Wanying is like heaven and earth compared to before. Such a huge difference would make anyone feel bad.

The atmosphere was just right, but someone had to bring up Liang Wanying without thinking. Wasn't that just deliberately trying to displease His Majesty?
Lou Suyi changed the subject with a smile, and the atmosphere became lively again.

After sitting for a while, everyone left one after another, and Lou Suyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that everyone hates her, she felt that the flattery people saying to her earlier sounded fake, let alone to them.

After everyone had left, Empress Dowager Chen said to Lou Suying, "Now that you are pregnant with the imperial heir, everything should be for the sake of the child. I will handle all matters in the inner palace, and Consort An can also assist me. If you need anything, just tell me. In short, everything is for your and the child's sake!"

She now wishes she could worship Su Yi like a Buddha, for fear that she might suffer.

Lou Suyi obediently replied, "I will follow Mother's arrangements."

Empress Dowager Chen was very pleased with her appearance.

"I knew you were our family's lucky star, and sure enough, we still have to rely on you." Empress Dowager Chen looked at Lou Suyi as if she were looking at a glittering gold nugget.

Murong, as Empress Dowager Chen's own son, felt a little jealous upon seeing this: "Mother, don't spoil her too much. It's just a pregnancy..."

"Emperor, are you speaking human language? Su Yi is carrying your child, how can you be so cold-blooded and heartless?" Before Murong could finish speaking, Empress Dowager Chen choked back.
