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

Chapter 345 Hypocrisy
The next day, Murong left Xianfu Palace early in the morning. Jiqing kept looking at his master and found it unbelievable that he could not see any bruises under his eyes.

He couldn't help but inquire, "Did Your Majesty sleep well last night?"

"It's acceptable," Murong replied calmly.

Jiqing knew that his master always left room for interpretation in his words, and the word "acceptable" was enough to show that his master slept well last night.

The calming medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Liu had not been very effective, but His Majesty was able to sleep soundly in Xianfu Palace, which was a pleasant surprise.

Afterwards, Jiqing was summoned to Shou'an Palace by Empress Dowager Chen for questioning, and Jiqing felt that he could now give an explanation to the Empress Dowager.

"I don't know what Her Majesty the Empress did, but His Majesty slept well last night and is in good spirits, so Your Majesty the Empress Dowager can rest assured," Ji Qing replied truthfully.

"It seems that Su Yi is more effective than the doctor, easily curing the emperor's insomnia. I must ask Su Yi how she did it," Empress Dowager Chen said excitedly. She also wanted to take the opportunity to see her sensible and handsome grandson.

Ji Qing was also very curious, so he said solicitously, "This servant will escort the Empress Dowager to Xianfu Palace."

"Doesn't the emperor need you to serve him?" Empress Dowager Chen asked, puzzled.

Ji Qing is usually inseparable from the emperor and worries about him constantly, so why is he relieved today?
"It's alright if I'm not serving His Majesty for a while since Jinli is serving him." What Jiqing didn't say was that His Majesty had recently preferred to have Jinli serve him, simply because Jinli was smarter than him.

Although he was a little jealous, he had gotten used to it recently, and it was true that the koi fish was better at reading people than he was.

Accompanied by Ji Qing, Empress Dowager Chen went to Xianfu Palace.

Lou Suyi had just woken up and was washing up when she heard that Empress Chen had arrived, so she hurriedly went out to greet her.

Empress Dowager Chen was pleased to see Lou Suyi looking so radiant, which indicated that the imperial heir in her womb was also being well cared for.

"What did you do yesterday? The Emperor slept very well last night. You deserve the most credit," Empress Dowager Chen asked with a smile.

Ji Qing, who was standing nearby, pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, intending to learn from the emperor's example so that he could help the emperor fall asleep.

Lou Suyi looked completely bewildered, not understanding the situation.

Jinshu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "His Majesty stayed at Xianfu Palace last night, and I haven't had a chance to tell Your Highness yet."

The Empress Dowager looked very sleepy after getting up. She wanted to wait until the Empress Dowager had washed up and was more alert before speaking, but unexpectedly the Empress Dowager arrived.

Empress Dowager Chen, of course, also heard Jinshu's words and was surprised: "You didn't know that the Emperor stayed at Xianfu Palace last night?"

Lou Suyi was a little embarrassed, her expression slightly ashamed: "I went to bed early last night, I didn't know His Majesty was staying here."

No one informed her, and Murong didn't wake her up either. How could she know that he had suddenly come to Xianfu Palace to sleep?
Empress Dowager Chen looked at Lou Suying with a complicated expression. So Suying cured the emperor's insomnia without doing anything?

Ji Qing couldn't possibly lie to her; if the emperor was in good spirits, it must be because he slept well last night.

"Has Your Majesty been sleeping poorly lately?" Lou Suyi belatedly realized the problem.

She sleeps so well every day that she can't understand why anyone would have trouble sleeping; she never gets enough sleep.

Empress Dowager Chen, mindful that Lou Suying was pregnant and fearing she might worry the Emperor, replied, "You don't need to worry. The Emperor can adjust himself. He slept well after arriving at Xianfu Palace, which should be thanks to you."

Lou Suyi thought to herself that she wasn't worried at all.

The emperor is still so young and usually very healthy. He will naturally fall asleep when he feels sleepy. Why worry?
Rather than worrying about the emperor, she'd rather make sure she eats and sleeps well. Ji Qing, having received Lou Suyi's answer, found it quite remarkable.

After leaving Xianfu Palace, he returned to the Emperor's presence and carefully observed his master's expression. By all accounts, His Majesty's spirits were much better than they had been in the past few days.

But the Empress didn't know that His Majesty stayed at Xianfu Palace last night. If that's the case, how could His Majesty sleep well in Xianfu Palace?
Surely His Majesty wouldn't feel sleepy just from seeing the Empress's face?
As evening approached, before Ji Qing could even ask Murong if he wanted to go to Xianfu Palace, Murong took the initiative and said, "Let's go to Xianfu Palace."

Ji Qing quickly replied, "Yes!"

When the imperial procession arrived at Xianfu Palace, Lou Suyi was preparing to have dinner.

Murong hadn't informed her beforehand that she would be coming, and she didn't want Granny Fan to cook anymore, so she simply invited Murong to sit down and have a meal.

She's been taking too many supplements lately, so these dishes are all quite light.

Seeing that there were only five dishes and a soup on the table, Ji Qing quickly said, "How about we ask the kitchen to add a few more dishes?"

His Majesty has come to Xianfu Palace, but the Empress doesn't even know how to treat him well.

“These dishes are enough for just the two of us, His Majesty. It would be a waste to cook too much food and not be able to finish it, right? His Majesty is the ruler of the country, and he certainly wouldn’t want to see me waste food, would he?” Lou Suyi was very assertive.

Murong thought the Empress's words made sense: "There's enough food, no need to add more."

Lou Suyi looked at Jiqing triumphantly, and Jiqing was speechless.

In any case, His Majesty would agree to whatever the Empress said, and he brought shame upon himself.

He vaguely felt that the Empress did not value His Majesty. If it were any of the other concubines in the harem, they would be overjoyed if His Majesty dined with them, and they would send all sorts of good things to His Majesty.

In contrast, the Empress always neglects His Majesty, yet His Majesty doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with her attitude.

He muttered some complaints to himself, but Ji Qing dared not show it on his face.

After dinner, Murong specially accompanied Lou Suyi to the corridor to digest her food.

"Are you feeling any better lately?" Murong asked with concern.

Lou Suyi touched her abdomen, her expression softening slightly: "Apart from being sleepy, everything is fine."

"Didn't you say you were very tired before? Have you felt any better in the last few days?" Murong pressed.

“I haven’t done anything lately. When I’m tired, I just lie in bed and sleep it off. Imperial Physician Liu said that the symptoms might lessen or disappear in another half month. It doesn’t affect me much. I just eat and sleep and take good care of myself and the child. Your Majesty doesn’t need to worry.” Lou Suyi returned Murong’s bright smile. “It’s Your Majesty who hasn’t been sleeping well lately. Your Majesty needs to take good care of yourself.”

Murong felt comforted when the Empress finally showed him some concern.

She's already overwhelmed with her own problems, and this pregnancy is even harder than when she was pregnant with Chen'er. He should be more understanding of her.

"Your Majesty need not worry about me. I have been staying at Xianfu Palace recently. Your Majesty has been working hard to carry the imperial heir, so I should spend more time with you." Murong's gaze drifted to Lou Suyi's flat stomach.

Lou Suyi thought to herself, "I don't know who will be with whom yet."

He clearly said he didn't sleep as well in Qianqing Palace as he did in Xianfu Palace, which is why he stayed here. But he made it sound nice.

"Really? The child must be very happy to know that His Majesty came all this way to keep it company." Lou Suying said with an exaggerated expression. Of course, she didn't mean it much, but she thought she was good at acting.
