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

Chapter 437 Her mouth is good at coaxing him

"This servant thought it was Her Majesty the Empress's skillful methods that made His Majesty lose his mind. Your Majesty is just too honest, and His Majesty is not quick-witted, so he missed the best opportunity and was beaten to it by Her Majesty the Empress." Linglong sighed with emotion.

Although her mistress was not particularly beautiful, in terms of talent and other aspects, how could she be compared to the Empress's useless concubine daughter?

Consort Ning's brows furrowed with worry: "Yes, I used the wrong method. I thought that as long as I silently stayed by His Majesty's side, His Majesty would eventually see my goodness, but I did not expect the Empress to suddenly appear."

By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Lou Suyi was particularly cunning; she concealed the fact that she was pregnant with the emperor's child until she was close to giving birth, at which point she revealed her pregnancy. Only then did she realize that Lou Suyi was pregnant.

If she had known this would be the outcome, how could she have suffered such a crushing defeat, with no chance of fighting back?
“His Majesty listens to the Empress in everything now and has no opinions of his own. If this continues, His Majesty will only drift further and further away from the Empress. What should we do?” Linglong hoped that her mistress could take action as soon as possible.

But she dared not say it.

What's most infuriating is that the Empress actually forbade the Empress Consort from participating in the hunt at the Mulan Hunting Grounds. The Empress Consort is the highest-ranking person besides the Empress herself; how could she possibly abuse her power?

"Stop talking." Consort Ning was restless and unusually anxious, and didn't want to listen to Linglong's rambling anymore.

Linglong knew that her mistress didn't like to hear these things, but she still said, "This hunt is a rare opportunity to leave the palace. If Your Majesty doesn't take action, Her Majesty the Empress will definitely remove Your Majesty from the list of those accompanying you."

Consort Ning knew that Linglong's words were true. The Empress had said earlier that the selection of attendants for the Emperor would not be based on rank, but on the Empress's mood.

Lou Suyi has a prejudice against her, as can be seen from the confrontation between Consort De and her last time.

Lou Suyi definitely won't include her in the escort list this time; she'll have to figure it out herself.

"She is the Empress. It wouldn't be easy for her to remove me from her list?" Consort Ning smiled bitterly.

Seeing this, Linglong became anxious: "Does Your Majesty mean to do nothing and let the Empress suppress you like this? This is not only a humiliation for Your Majesty, but also a disgrace to the General's Mansion. Your Majesty cannot remain inactive."

"I will write a letter later, and you can have someone send it to the General's residence," Consort Ning decided after pondering for a moment.

Linglong breathed a sigh of relief.

Your Majesty's reaction is correct. No matter what, Your Majesty has the General's Mansion behind you, and with the General around, even His Majesty has to show you respect.

Lou Suyi was unaware that Consort Ning and her servants were playing such a dramatic game.

Murong escorted her back to Xianfu Palace, then went about his own business.

She then prepared a list of concubines to accompany her and sent it to Shou'an Palace. Empress Dowager Chen reviewed the list and had no objections, and invited her to stay for lunch.

Lou Suyi originally wanted to return to Xianfu Palace, but then she remembered the list of companions she had prepared and decided to let Murong take a look.

Although he told her to draft the list herself, these concubines were accompanying the emperor, so he, as the person in charge, should have known the details.

She immediately changed course and headed towards the Qianqing Palace.

Murong had just finished lunch when Lou Suying suddenly appeared at Qianqing Palace, and was immediately pleasantly surprised: "You missed me?"

These words left Lou Suyi speechless.

She only came to deliver the list of accompanying drivers, not to see him specifically.

But the emperor seemed very expectant, so she couldn't tell the truth. She smiled and replied, "Yes, I came from Cixi Palace. I was originally going back to Xianfu Palace, but I suddenly wanted to see Your Majesty, so I came here to take a look."

Murong was very gratified, feeling that she finally had a place for him in her heart.

Lou Suying had originally intended to hand over the list of attendants to Murong and return to Xianfu Palace, but now she had to stay and accompany him. However, she found Murong's handling of government affairs utterly tedious, and she quickly became drowsy.

Murong couldn't help but smile when he saw her nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice.

"If you're sleepy, go to Hanzhang's room and take a nap."

Lou Suying had been waiting for him to say those words, but she felt she should just say something insincere: "But I can't bear to leave His Majesty."

Murong thought it was simple: "Then bring over a chaise lounge, and you can sleep here."

Upon hearing this, Lou Suying quickly shook her head: "No, this is the Imperial Study. How can I be so unruly? Never mind, I'll go rest in Hanzhang Room for a while."

Murong didn't insist; her comfort was the most important thing: "Go ahead."

Lou Suying was about to go to Hanzhang Room when she suddenly remembered that she was still holding the list of accompanying officials. She handed it to Murong and said, "This is the preliminary list of accompanying officials for the hunt. Your Majesty, please take a look. If Your Majesty has no objections, then it will be settled."

Murong took the list of accompanying officials, glanced at it, and handed it back to her: "I said, you can make the decision."

Lou Suyi placed the list on the desk and replied, "It's here with His Majesty. If His Majesty finds it inappropriate, it can be corrected. Anyway, there's still time before the trip."

Looking at the list in front of him, Murong suddenly remembered something. This woman probably didn't come to see him on purpose, but rather to deliver this list.

She never came to him unless she had a reason, and he had almost forgotten about it.

He stared at the list for a while, then chuckled to himself. She was so good at sweet-talking him; he'd actually taken it seriously.

However, the fact that she's willing to coax him is an improvement.

His Majesty the Emperor is indeed easily satisfied. Just thinking that the Empress is in the Hanzhang Chamber not far from him seems to give him the motivation to handle state affairs.

Lou Suyi never expected that after she delivered herself to their doorstep, leaving wouldn't be so easy.

Murong insisted that she stay overnight at Qianqing Palace, and she couldn't refuse.

Her legs went weak whenever she thought about how Murong looked in bed last night.

Just before getting into bed, she cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, shall we not do *that* tonight?"

Murong looked at her, puzzled: "What?"

Lou Suyi blushed, unable to say anything, and could only stammer, "N-nothing, let's go to bed early tonight?"

But to her surprise, Murong kissed her the next moment.

She wanted to cry but had no tears. She tried to push him away with her hands and feet, but the emperor restrained her limbs and soon kissed her until she was breathless.

After he had finally finished kissing her, she quickly said, "Your Majesty, please restrain yourself!"

Such indulgence will harm the dragon's health!
"Am I not restrained enough? Ever since you became pregnant, when have I not been restrained?" Murong slowly began to undress.

Lou Suying took a few steps back: "Wait, wait a minute. Wasn't it yesterday..."

Murong thought the Empress talked too much, so he simply kissed her on the lips, leaving her only able to gasp for breath beneath him...

Lou Suyi screamed inwardly. She shouldn't have offered herself up. How could her body withstand his torment every night?
Another night of debauchery ensued, and when Lou Suying woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky. As soon as she got up, she intended to leave the Qianqing Palace; His Majesty the Emperor was truly frightening.
