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

Chapter 386 I can’t help myself
Murong carefully examined Lou Suying's expression: "Are you unhappy?"

Lou Suying smiled brightly: "How could that be? I'm very happy, but I'm afraid of delaying Your Majesty from doing your important business. Why don't you go ahead with your work, Your Majesty? Otherwise, I would feel ashamed before Your Majesty..."

She held her breath when she saw the handsome face suddenly close to hers.

What's going on?
Just as she was at a loss, Murong suddenly captured her lips with his...

Lou Suyi: ? ? ?

other people:! ! !

Everyone turned around in perfect unison and quickly left the dormitory.

Ji Qing was afraid that His Majesty would do something outrageous again, so he coughed a few times to remind his master to be restrained, as the Empress's current physical condition was not suitable for serving him in bed.

Lou Suying heard Ji Qing cough and quickly pushed Murong away: "Your Majesty, you can't!"

Murong stared blankly at Lou Suyi, only then realizing what he had done.

Was he just unable to control himself?
He frowned as he looked at Lou Suyi, and Lou Suyi looked at him as well; their eyes met.

Murong took two steps back, quickly regaining his composure, though he still felt somewhat uneasy.

"You must rest well and absolutely not get out of bed." After saying this, he left without looking back.

Lou Suyi watched Murong walk away, then subconsciously touched her lips.

She wondered if she had become more beautiful, otherwise why would Murong be so aroused by her?

At other times it was fine, after all she enjoyed it, but now that she was pregnant with her second child, how could she resist the advances of an emperor who was constantly being horny?
She lay down, supporting her back, hoping that Murong wouldn't show up for the next few days so she could have some time to recover.

No, it means she shouldn't appear before she gives birth.

As Ji Qing left Xianfu Palace, he noticed Murong's gloomy expression. He guessed that His Majesty was in the prime of his life, and it was normal for him to be sexually frustrated.

But the Empress has already served you tonight, surely she's not satisfied?
He wondered if he should present His Majesty with a green plaque to help him vent his anger...

By the time they returned to the Qianqing Palace, it was already dusk.

Ji Qing immediately brought over the green plaque. The moment Murong saw it, his face turned even uglier. He picked up the plaque and threw it at Ji Qing's head, which terrified Ji Qing so much that he knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"Do you think I'm a tyrannical ruler blinded by lust?!"

Ji Qing quickly replied, "Of course not! This servant just felt that His Majesty hadn't visited her in a while, so I took the liberty of bringing it over. This servant knows her mistake!"

"Go to the torture chamber and get your twenty strokes of the cane!" Murong didn't want to look at Ji Qing anymore.

Ji Qing hurriedly took the green sign and rolled away, having received twenty lashes for nothing.

Seeing this, Jinli thought to herself that Jiqing deserved it; who told him to be His Majesty's master?

His Majesty favors the Empress because he likes her, but Jiqing brought out the nameplates of other concubines instead. No wonder he's angry.

Ji Qing was punished, and Jinli tried her best to keep a low profile, but what she feared most came to pass. Murong suddenly looked at her and said, "Come here!"

The koi bowed its head and walked before the emperor: "May I ask what Your Majesty's orders are?"

"You will go to Xianfu Palace tonight to serve the Empress and keep an eye on her. Do not allow her to get out of bed!" Murong issued an imperial edict.

Jinli's eyes widened. Was His Majesty worried that the Empress was disobeying him, so he sent her to "monitor" the Empress?
This is a good job, as I don't have to serve His Majesty, and the Empress is known for her open-mindedness. But then I thought, if anything were to happen to the Empress, I would lose my life.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will certainly protect Her Majesty the Empress and the little prince in her womb!" Jinli replied with a strong voice.

Murong was very satisfied, feeling that the koi fish was more reliable than the auspicious omens.

"Also, list everything the Empress has done," Murong added hastily.

The koi fish readily agreed, thinking it wouldn't be difficult.

Then the master said, "It would be best to draw it with both pictures and text."

Jinli was stunned when she heard this. She replied weakly, "This servant...this servant doesn't know how to paint." Murong didn't say anything, but just told her to go to Xianfu Palace.

After being flogged twenty times, Ji Qing returned to the Emperor's presence.

"Bring the guard from the Lotus Temple that day here."

Ji Qing was stunned, not expecting His Majesty to still remember that secret guard.

Speaking of which, that bodyguard left a deep impression on him; he was a very good painter. Why does His Majesty want to summon him?
He didn't dare ask any more questions, and the next day he brought the person over.

After looking at the unremarkable guard for a while, Murong asked, "What's your name?"

The guard bowed and replied, "This humble servant has no name."

Murong pondered for a moment and said, "From today onwards, your name will be Yunzhong, and you will serve the Empress. In addition, you must report to me every day what the Empress has done, preferably with pictures and text."

Yunzhong never expected that she would be assigned to work at Xianfu Palace, and that she would even have a name?

Is His Majesty sending her to monitor the Empress's every move?

"Yes, Your Excellency obeys!"

After Yun Zhong finished speaking, she saw His Majesty looking at her coldly. Realizing what she had said, she changed her words and said, "This servant will obey Your Majesty's decree."

"Jiqing, take Yunzhong to Xianfu Palace," Murong ordered calmly.

Ji Qing accepted the order and took Yun Zhong to Xianfu Palace.

When they arrived at Xianfu Palace, it was very lively. There were many people in the bedroom, all trying to make the Empress happy. The Crown Prince was also there.

The appearance of Ji Qing and Yun Zhong attracted everyone's attention.

Lou Suying looked Yun Zhong up and down, confirming that she had never seen this palace maid before.

The people Ji Qing brought must be extraordinary.

Ji Qing gave Yun Zhong a wink, and Yun Zhong understood, kneeling down in front of Lou Suyi: "This servant Yun Zhong respectfully wishes Your Majesty the Empress good health."

"Get up."

Lou Suyi looked at Ji Qing: "What's this?"

"His Majesty was worried about the Empress's health, so he summoned Yunzhong to serve her. Yunzhong is quite skilled, and with Yunzhong serving in Xianfu Palace, His Majesty can rest assured," Jiqing replied respectfully.

Lou Suyi trusted Murong; the person he sent must be good, especially since it was sent by Jiqing.

She found it strange; if it was going to be delivered, it would have been delivered long ago. Why was it being delivered now?
Lou Suyi beckoned to Yunzhong: "Come here."

Yun Zhongyi walked up to Lou Suyi as instructed, without any emotional fluctuation.

When Lou Suyi took her hand, she subconsciously withdrew her fingers.

Lou Suyi looked at Yun Zhong's rough hands: "Is your kung fu very good?"

She thought that Yun Zhong might be a legendary martial arts master.

Yun Zhong replied modestly, "It's acceptable."

Lou Suyi understood now; Yun Zhong was indeed a master.

"Alright, go back and report," Lou Suyi said to Jiqing.

Ji Qing withdrew as instructed.

Lou Suying talked with Yunzhong for a while longer, and felt that since Yunzhong was skilled in martial arts, she didn't need to do those miscellaneous tasks. She only needed to be responsible for protecting Yunzhong's personal safety.

The next morning, Murong received a picture album from Yunzhong. It vividly recorded everything Lou Suying had done that day, with pictures and text. The portraits of Lou Suying were so lifelike, just what he wanted to see.
