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

Chapter 421 Are you trying to torture me to death?

"Can you take me to Jiangnan?" Lou Suyi asked with burning eyes.

The only time she had ever been far from the capital in her entire life was when she was kidnapped by bandits. Of course, going to the south of the Yangtze River is unrealistic now; she was just deliberately making things difficult for him.

Murong hadn't expected Lou Suying to want to run so far.

For a fleeting moment, he wondered if she was trying to escape by going to such a faraway place.

Even though she was already the Empress, he still remembered that she had been tricked into entering the palace by him.

When she wanted to leave the palace, he only told her she could stay for two years. Could it be that she didn't want to be empress, or that she felt the palace was too restrictive, which is why she wanted to escape?

Lou Suyi was very dissatisfied when she saw Murong suddenly fall silent: "Just now His Majesty said that he would bring me whatever I wanted, but now that I say I want to go to Jiangnan, His Majesty is silent. It seems that His Majesty's words are not as good as gold."

Although she said it casually, his attitude made her unhappy.

Murong Xu said, "It's not realistic to go to Jiangnan next year, but there will always be opportunities in the future. When I have some free time, I will accompany you wherever you want to go."

He needed to be sure she didn't want to leave him before he felt comfortable taking her so far away. She was full of mischievous ideas, so he had to keep a close eye on her.

Seeing that he had said this much, Lou Suyi knew she shouldn't make any more trouble.

But he said he would only have time when he was free. He was such a busy man, she didn't know when he would have time. She felt that this was just an excuse.

However, we can still look forward to next year's hunt. For now, let's focus on having the baby.

"I will do whatever Your Majesty says." Lou Suyi smiled broadly.

Seeing how easily she was dismissed, Murong realized she was being petty. They already had two children, and she loved them so much. Even for the sake of the children, it was unlikely she would abandon him and his son.

That night, Murong finally lay on the same bed with Lou Suyi again.

The couple hadn't slept together for some time, and the Empress was so obedient and sensible that Murong couldn't help but kiss her again and again.

Unexpectedly, after he kissed her, the Empress took the initiative to kiss him back, which made Murong even more excited, and the couple almost ignited a passionate fire.

Ji Qing, who was waiting outside, was so anxious that he kept coughing, fearing that His Majesty would disregard the Empress's health and take action.

Murong was still unsatisfied, and Jiqing was making a huge racket outside, so he shouted, "Jiqing, get out of here!"

Ji Qing knew he was being blamed, so he quickly ran away.

Murong looked at the beautiful empress beside him, her eyes brimming with tears, and felt his body tense with discomfort. He kissed her lips fiercely: "You are not allowed to seduce me again."

Lou Suyi was also moved, but she knew that it was not appropriate to do strenuous exercise at this time, so she had to keep her distance from His Majesty the Emperor.

It's hard to say who seduced whom. Anyway, she gets aroused whenever she sees him. She can only blame herself for being so deeply in love with him. Can she really be blamed for that?
She had barely moved away from Murong when he leaned in again and passionately kissed her...

Those guarding outside exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing the sounds coming from inside.

Jinli remained calm, smiling as she reassured everyone, "Don't worry, His Majesty knows what he's doing."

The two masters simply couldn't control their feelings. His Majesty had finally seen the light and could no longer resist the Empress's beauty.

The emperor and empress did have a fight, but it was only a temporary measure.

In the end, Murong cleaned the bed himself and said to Lou Suyi, "I'll go sleep in the next room."

Lou Suying couldn't bear to part with him: "Can't Your Majesty sleep next to me?" Murong looked at her helplessly: "Are you trying to torture me to death?"

Seeing his unsatisfied expression, Lou Suying crawled into bed and said, "Your Majesty, you should leave."

Little did she know that he could have such a weak resistance. She hadn't served him in bed much before, but now that she was pregnant, he always seemed to want her very much.

This must be because he likes her so much that he can't resist her beauty.

Having figured this out, she waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty should take a break every now and then."

Even as the emperor, he couldn't touch her; heavens have mercy on him.

Murong turned away helplessly, then looked back at the woman huddled in the blankets, before finally resigning himself to leaving.

It's no wonder he had a weak immune system; the Empress was simply too beautiful to resist. He was just a normal man, and he had his moments of losing control.

He took a cold shower, which finally cooled him down. But the thought of his wife sleeping in the next room made him restless again.

But this time he didn't think about going next door, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Even so, he still didn't get a good night's rest. He got up early, went to the private room, and saw his wife sleeping soundly with a rosy complexion. His heart softened, and he kissed her forehead before leaving Xianfu Palace.

For the next few days, Murong stayed at Xianfu Palace, but every time Lou Suyi aroused him, he could only go to sleep in a separate room.

Lou Suyi felt sorry for him when she saw him like this, and told him not to come before she gave birth, so that he wouldn't get enough rest.

Murong, however, had a good idea and would come to keep her company as soon as he finished his work.

Empress Dowager Chen did not hold a grand celebration for her birthday. Moreover, immediately after the birthday banquet, she came to visit Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi had already presented her birthday gift, and when she saw that Madam Chen had arrived, she hurriedly came out to greet her.

"The Empress Dowager doesn't care about these formalities, please walk slowly." Murong carefully helped Lou Suyi up.

Empress Dowager Chen wanted to laugh when she saw Murong talking about Lou Suyi. At that moment, she felt that the emperor was becoming more and more human.

Empress Dowager Chen had dinner with Lou Suyi before leaving. When Murong saw Empress Dowager Chen off at Xianfu Palace, she pointed at him and said, "You don't usually move around in the harem, but you spend your time in Xianfu Palace after Suyi's birthday. I'm afraid the resentment of the concubines in the harem will be even greater."

Having just experienced the incident of Su Yi being impeached, she thought the emperor would be more discreet, but to her surprise, he did the opposite and had no intention of concealing anything.

"I only care about plain clothes; I don't need to concern myself with anyone else," Murong said calmly.

Empress Dowager Chen probably knew he was aware of the situation, so she said nothing. She could only say that Su Yi was very fortunate to marry the emperor. And the emperor was also very fortunate to marry Su Yi.

They were a perfect match, and she had come to terms with it now, prioritizing the emperor's wishes above all else. Besides, Su Yi was so wonderful; she didn't want to see Su Yi suffer.

After Empress Dowager Chen's birthday, the days seemed to pass even faster.

As Lou Suyi's due date drew closer, Murong spent more and more time with her, eventually moving into Xianfu Palace to be closer to her.

The delivery room was prepared well in advance, and the midwife also lived in Xianfu Palace, ready to be called upon at any time.

Everyone knows that Murong values ​​the Empress's pregnancy. To be precise, it is His Majesty who values ​​the Empress, which is why he is so anxious.

That day, after Murong finished court, he arrived at Xianfu Palace. Soon after, Jiqing entered and reported, "The Marquis of Dingyuan said he has important matters to report to Your Majesty."

Lou Suyi was momentarily stunned when she heard that Qi Yan was requesting an audience.
