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

Chapter 439 Everything in the world can be vinegared

Linglong's face changed drastically when she read the contents of the letter. She immediately knelt down and cried out, "This servant deserves to die!"

Consort Ning closed her eyes weakly, feeling that despite her years of caution, she had failed to remain calm at this crucial moment.

Her voice was hoarse, filled with regret: "You deserve to die, but I was also wrong. I was too hasty, which led to this unforgivable mistake."

Lou Suying was never a foolish woman. His Majesty valued her because she was resourceful. Given that, why would Lou Suying so easily remove her from the list of attendants?
However, due to her momentary impetuosity and Linglong's instigation, she did not think things through and conveyed the wrong message to her father, causing him to lose face in front of His Majesty.

She's so confused.

Linglong also deeply regretted her actions. It was all the fault of those gossipy concubines. She was furious when she heard them and said a few more words to the Empress, never expecting to bring such trouble upon her.

She slapped herself hard: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die!!"

Consort Ning watched Linglong punish herself with cold eyes, without stopping her.

Only after Linglong slapped herself dozens of times, her face turning red and swollen, did Consort Ning say, "Alright, you may leave."

What's the point of saying all this now? If she weren't so easily agitated, how could Linglong's few words have stirred her up? It's her own mind that's in turmoil; she's no longer as confident as before.

Linglong obeyed and left, feeling deeply remorseful.

If only time could turn back, she would never have given such terrible advice again. Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now.

Jili went to the Qianqing Palace and heard from Jiqing about General Zhaowu's visit to His Majesty.

As soon as he returned to Xianfu Palace, he reported the matter to Lou Suyi.

Lou Suying smiled after hearing this: "What was His Majesty's reaction?"

"Of course His Majesty was angry. General Zhaowu wronged the Empress and even wanted to file a complaint with the Emperor. He didn't even consider how much His Majesty values ​​the Empress. In the end, General Zhaowu was naturally reprimanded by His Majesty," Jili replied with a smile.

Lou Suyi's smile gradually faded: "It seems that Consort Ning is not so calm after all. It's just a list of attendants, yet it has made Consort Ning lose her composure."

Therefore, Consort Ning's persona of being as serene and unassuming as a chrysanthemum was all an act. It's just that she hid it so well before that no one saw her true colors.

This was an unexpected stroke of luck for her.

"I heard that General Zhaowu was sweating bullets when he left," Jili said with a smile.

Lou Suyi still felt regretful: "It's a pity that I can't see Consort Ning's expression when she finds out about this. It must be quite a sight."

Someone as shrewd as Murong must have guessed that General Zhaowu entered the palace because Consort Ning had filed a complaint.

Consort Ning had been pretending for so many years, but at this critical juncture, Murong saw her true colors. Wouldn't Consort Ning be heartbroken?
Honestly, this is very gratifying.

Therefore, the hunting in the Mulan Hunting Grounds must have Consort Ning's participation to make it truly lively.

Jinshu could tell at a glance that her mistress was very happy today; she walked with a brisk pace and was humming a little tune. The most obvious sign was that the Empress had the kitchen prepare tonics and had Jili deliver them to the Emperor.

As for why the Empress didn't deliver it herself, she said that it would be the stupidest thing to do to deliver it herself, because His Majesty would definitely make her stay overnight in Qianqing Palace again.

Judging from the way the Empress was wary of His Majesty, one could tell that serving him in bed was a difficult task.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, Murong saw that Jili had brought over the stewed soup and asked in a low voice, "What is the Empress doing?"

Jili replied truthfully, "Her Majesty the Empress is busy with palace affairs and also has to accompany the two young princes, so she ordered me to send some tonics to His Majesty."

"She seems to be living a fulfilling life," Murong said cryptically.

Jili didn't understand what His Majesty meant by those words. It seemed like a very ordinary remark, but why did it make him feel so sour?
He didn't know how to respond, so he simply remained silent. "Has the Empress mentioned me?" At this moment, he heard the Emperor ask again.

Jili quickly replied, "Of course, Her Majesty said that His Majesty works hard and needs to nourish his body."

Upon hearing the phrase "hard work and toil," Murong smiled enigmatically: "That's all?"

Jili thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't think of anything else the Empress had mentioned about His Majesty. He really couldn't figure it out.

Seeing Jili's nervous expression, Murong waved his hand and said, "Alright, step back."

Jili was somewhat at a loss. He had thought that delivering the stew would be a simple task, but it seemed that he had displeased His Majesty.

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to have Jinshu come and deliver the soup. Jinshu would certainly understand His Majesty's thoughts better.

Jili returned to Xianfu Palace as quickly as possible to report back.

Lou Suyi saw that Jili had delivered the soup and was about to tell him to go about his business when she noticed that Jili seemed to be saying something but hesitated. So she asked, "What happened?"

Unable to fathom His Majesty's thoughts, Jili recounted his conversation with him.

Lou Suyi was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this: "It's nothing, His Majesty is just unhappy that I didn't personally deliver the soup."

She spends time with the children, and even the Emperor gets jealous. It just goes to show that Murong can be jealous of everything in the world.

Seeing that the Empress didn't seem to care at all, Jili breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then should Your Majesty personally deliver the soup to His Majesty tomorrow?" He thought of a way to make amends.

Lou Suyi rejected the suggestion without hesitation: "His Majesty drank soup today, how can he replenish it every day? Besides, I often see His Majesty, there is no need for me to visit Qianqing Palace so frequently."

Jili thought to himself, "Isn't this His Majesty wanting to see the Empress?"

But the Empress didn't seem to care about His Majesty at all, so he couldn't offer any more advice.

After Jili left, Lou Suyi recalled what Murong had said to Jili and couldn't help but chuckle.

She hadn't expected that Murong would come to Qianqing Palace that afternoon, even though she wasn't going there herself.

When she woke up from her afternoon nap, it was almost evening. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a large, magnified handsome face in front of her. As if sensing her gaze, Murong, who had been dozing, opened his eyes, and the couple's eyes met.

Lou Suyi touched the man's warm face, and only then did she realize that it was real.

"Why has Your Majesty come?" Lou Suying's voice was still a little hoarse as she had just woken up.

She was thinking it best to avoid meeting Murong for the next few days to prevent him from scrutinizing her again. But he, of all people, came to Xianfu Palace today.

Murong was deeply pleased with his wife's adorable appearance as she woke up. However, he restrained himself and did not remove her clothes...

Lou Suyi panicked the moment she met Murong Anchen's gaze. She quickly sat up, wanting to leave the bed, this dangerous place.

Seeing her busy appearance, Murong asked in a calm voice, "Are you guarding against me?"

Lou Suyi looked at Murong innocently: "How could that be? His Majesty is the most important person in my life. I would never guard against His Majesty."

Was she making it obvious? She was indeed wary of him, but only of him losing control of his lust and taking advantage of her in bed.
