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

Chapter 424 Production
Consort Ning didn't take Liang Wanying's words to heart, and only said lightly, "It seems that after so many things, Consort Kang still hasn't learned her lesson."

Liang Wanying's expression changed slightly. She gave a soft snort and left without looking back.

Chen Xing deliberately lagged behind and said to Consort Ning, "Sister, don't take Consort Kang's words to heart."

"I wouldn't stoop to her level. I appreciate your kindness, sister," Consort Ning replied with a faint smile.

Chen Xing chatted with Consort Ning for a few more minutes before leaving Jingren Palace.

Before Liang Wanying had gone far, she saw her come out and specially came to greet her.

Liang Wanying didn't want to cause trouble, but Consort Ning's words had stung her, so she stayed to wait for Chen Xing.

"Is there something you need?" Chen Xing disliked Liang Wanying and didn't want to deal with her.

Liang Wanying could tell that Chen Xing disliked her, so she snorted and said, "I'm just reminding you that Consort Ning is no benevolent person. Just remember one thing: if Consort Ning were truly low-key, her Jingren Palace wouldn't be so lively."

After saying that, she rode away in a palanquin.

Chen Xing stood there, stunned for a long while, before finally getting into the palanquin.

She had to admit that until today, she had always thought Consort Ning was quite nice and had never thought about it more deeply. This was because she got along well with Consort Ning and liked her personality.

But Consort Kang's words made her start to reflect: had she trusted Consort Ning too much?

Why would someone like Consort De be so certain that Consort Ning is hypocritical? Even Liang Wanying came to warn her.

She glanced back at Jingren Palace and suddenly remembered that before she entered the palace, her mother had warned her more than once about the treacherous nature of people. Lately, she had been living too comfortably and had forgotten that this was the inner palace, full of deceit and treachery.

How could she forget something so important?
**
Even if the concubines in the harem were jealous of Lou Suyi's exclusive favor with the emperor, no one could do anything about her. Murong spent all his time, except when attending court, by Lou Suyi's side, without even pretending.

Even the security at Xianfu Palace was like an iron barrel, with strict control over everything from food and lodging to transportation, from palace maids to eunuchs.

Even if someone wanted to tamper with Lou Suyi's production, they wouldn't find a single loophole.

On the first day of the eleventh lunar month, Lou Suyi began her operation.

This time, no matter who tried to persuade her, Murong insisted on staying with Lou Suyi during her childbirth.

Empress Dowager Chen tried to persuade him, but seeing that Murong insisted, she finally let him have his way.

She knew how stubborn the emperor was, and he probably only listened to Su Yi's words. But this time, even when Su Yi asked him to leave the delivery room, he was unwilling.

Moreover, the emperor's reasons were quite plausible. He said that Lady Tao had given Su Yi an appetite stimulant, and that other concubines might be trying to secretly switch his child. He also said that the practice of switching princes with cats was common, and he needed to watch over things personally to be at ease.

In short, he had a whole set of reasons, all of which were simply to stay by Su Yi's side.

Lou Suying was in excruciating pain, but she couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Murong's words. As Murong held her hand and gently comforted her, she suddenly felt less pain.

After nearly four hours of labor, Lou Suying finally gave birth to the imperial heir.

The midwife immediately examined the baby's lower body, and upon seeing the small penis, she knelt down in surprise before Murong: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress! It's a prince!"

It must be said that the Empress is truly prolific, having given birth to yet another prince.

Lou Suyi was naturally delighted to hear that it was a prince.

Murong originally wanted to see if the child was a princess or a prince, but the midwife was faster than him. When he heard it was a prince, he immediately lost interest.

He glanced indifferently at the wrinkled child, then picked up the little prince and presented him to Lou Suyi: "Suyi, as you wished, he is a prince." Whether he liked him or not didn't matter; the most important thing was that Suyi liked him.

Lou Suyi was already exhausted. She looked at the child with affection, and the more she looked, the more she liked him: "The child is so beautiful."

Murong thought to herself that the child was so young that her features were not even visible, so how could she know if the child was good-looking or not?
With Chen'er's brilliance preceding him, this child's appearance can never surpass Chen'er's.

But he unconditionally agreed with the Empress's words: "I also think it looks good."

Lou Suyi was so tired that she fell asleep soon after.

Murong had someone take the child out to show the Empress Dowager. He kissed her sweat-dampened temples, thinking to himself that she had suffered so much during childbirth and already had two princes, so he should try to prevent her from getting pregnant again in the future.

For a woman, childbirth is a brush with death. Just watching from the sidelines felt like he was losing half his life, let alone Su Yi, who was in excruciating pain.

At that moment, he suddenly thought that it would be better if he weren't the emperor, so that she, as the empress, wouldn't have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of continuing the family line.

Of course, the thought only flashed through my mind.

Now that he has taken this position, he must be responsible for the people and for his wife. Only by securing his throne can he protect her, since many are eyeing this position.

If he's not careful, he could be smashed to pieces.

Everyone else withdrew, and it was Murong who personally helped Lou Suyi clean the bloodstains off her body.

When Empress Dowager Chen entered the delivery room, she witnessed the Emperor personally attending to Su Yi. Su Yi, however, was fast asleep and completely unaware that it was Murong who was cleaning her body.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a little envious of Su Yi, who was married to the emperor.

Once Murong was certain that Su Yi was completely clean, she turned around and saw Empress Dowager Chen.

He followed Empress Dowager Chen out of the delivery room: "Mother is also tired. Why don't you go back to Cixi Palace to rest? Su Yi, I'll be here with you. You'll be fine."

"Since Su Yi conceived the imperial heir, has the emperor considered what reward she might receive?" Empress Dowager Chen asked.

"I would like to bestow a title upon Su Yi." Murong felt that he had nothing left to give Su Yi.

He actually wanted to give her a grand coronation ceremony to make up for the regret of that day, but it was not appropriate to mention this now.

"That's fine. She has given birth to two princes for the royal family; she can handle even the greatest imperial favor. When the second prince is a month old, the emperor will give her a surprise." Empress Dowager Chen naturally had no objections.

Lou Suyi slept for a long time.

For some reason, she dreamed of the scene where she and Lou Suya were tied up that year. She was like a spectator, and she even knew that she was dreaming, but she just couldn't wake up. It wasn't until she saw Lou Suya fall from the sky into the sea of ​​fire that she suddenly opened her eyes.

She was covered in sweat and still somewhat dazed, until Murong's voice rang out above her head: "Had a nightmare?"

Lou Suying stared at Murong in a daze, then touched his face. So she was still alive. She was now his empress, and had even borne him two children. This was the real her.

Murong held her soft hand and kissed it: "Suyi, we won't have any more children."

He was terrified watching from the sidelines, fearing something might happen to her.

Lou Suying, however, didn't think that way. She still wanted to give him a little princess. He wanted a daughter, and she would try her best to fulfill his wish.

The holiday went by so fast, it's back to work again.
