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

Chapter 446 His real desire was for her body.

"To put it simply, I despise Xie Zhijie from the bottom of my heart. Back then, Lou Suya and I were kidnapped by bandits, who said they could only save one of us. Your Majesty can probably guess that Xie Zhijie chose to save Lou Suya." At this point, Lou Suya stared intently at Murong. "If it were Your Majesty, how would you feel about Xie Zhijie after escaping death?"

She's not out of her mind, how could she possibly have any feelings for the person who killed her?
As for Xie Zhijie's behavior, she couldn't control it either, yet Murong took her anger out on her, which was completely unreasonable.

Murong was speechless.

Although he knew that Su Yi had been kidnapped by bandits that year, he did not know these details.

Looking back now, his jealousy was really quite inappropriate.

"I know I was wrong." After a long while, Murong finally managed to say, "If you have any resentment, you can do whatever you want with me tonight."

Lou Suyi's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this.

She looked at His Majesty the Emperor and quickly waved her hand, "No need! Let's let this matter rest and not mention it again."

She doesn't have that kind of peculiar hobby. Besides, he's the emperor. How could she dare to harm his health?

Such a rebellious idea should absolutely not be entertained.

Murong stared intently at Lou Suyi: "You're really not angry anymore?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry," Lou Suyi said, diligently helping Murong Bu eat.

Murong was somewhat taken aback by her sudden change in attitude and felt flattered.

Lou Suying deliberately changed the subject from the unpleasant topic of Xie Zhijie: "What should I prepare beforehand for going to Mulan Hunting Grounds?"

Murong replied calmly, "I will handle everything. There is no need to prepare anything."

"That's what they say, but I can't even ride a horse, let alone shoot arrows," Lou Suyi said irritably.

If you can't ride and shoot, you can't participate in hunting, which is a real shame.

"This afternoon I will take you to the horse farm and teach you how to ride a horse." Murong felt it was his fault.

He's been too busy lately, and he hasn't been able to teach her riding and archery as promised.

"No need, I'm not that interested in riding and archery anyway." Lou Suyi's words were sincere.

Her body is so delicate, it's not suitable for her to sit on horseback.

Most importantly, it seems unnecessary to go to great lengths to learn horseback riding just for a hunt.

Murong looked at Lou Suyi helplessly: "Do you think riding a horse will interfere with your afternoon rest?"

Lou Suyi chuckled: "I'm better suited to indoor living. If I want to learn to ride a horse, Yunzhong can teach me."

"I will teach you!" Murong said in an unquestionable tone.

Lou Suyi was taken aback: "Your Majesty doesn't really intend to teach me everything personally, does he?"

Is it really necessary? It's just horseback riding; she thinks anyone can teach her.

"There's no time like the present. Let's start teaching today. By the time we go hunting, you'll have already learned it," Murong concluded.

"No, I don't think it matters if I can't ride a horse, as long as my husband can." Lou Suyi still wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

Murong replied with a single sentence: "This is my decree."

Lou Suying really wanted to slam her fist on the table and stand up to defy the imperial decree. But she was too cowardly, and besides, there was nothing wrong with learning to ride a horse.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your decree!" Lou Suyi readily complied.

Su Yi didn't dare to eat too much at the lunch restaurant. She changed into riding clothes and appeared in front of Murong with a heroic air.

Murong's eyes lit up as he looked Lou Suyi up and down.

Lou Suying felt a chill run down her spine under his blatant gaze. She couldn't understand what was so appealing about her outfit; he should have seen plenty of riding attire before. Then Murong whispered in her ear, "Wear this tonight for me."

Lou Suyi: ...

How did this guy become like this? Wasn't he always so proper and upright? Now even riding gear can arouse his lust, leaving her speechless.

On the way to the horse farm, Murong kept staring at Lou Suyi, a look that made Lou Suyi very uncomfortable.

She even suspected that Murong's desire to teach her to ride a horse was a pretense; his real intention was to seduce her.

Having finally arrived at the horse farm, she immediately dismounted from the imperial carriage.

Murong's lips curled up, and she followed up: "Walk slowly, don't fall."

Lou Suyi glanced back at him, then quickened her pace and entered the horse farm.

As soon as the Emperor and Empress entered the horse farm, the Imperial Horse Administration officials stepped forward to pay their respects to them.

The horse farm had already prepared a horse for Lou Suyi, the novice rider; it was a pure white, flawless steed.

Lou Suyi's eyes lit up the moment she saw the horse: "What a beautiful horse!"

Murong chuckled: "It will belong to you from now on, and you can give it a name."

"Let's call him Xiaobai." Without even thinking, Lou Suyi came up with a name.

Murong thought the name was good: "It's a very good name."

Ji Qing, standing to the side, twitched his lips. The Empress dared to take it, and His Majesty dared to praise it—truly a perfect match.

At first, Lou Suying found horseback riding quite novel, but later she couldn't handle it anymore. She hadn't done any heavy work in the past few years, which had ruined her health, and strenuous work like horseback riding wasn't suitable for her.

Murong noticed Lou Suying's resentful look and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"I'm no different from a piece of trash now. Living a peaceful life for too long will ruin you." Lou Suyi sighed softly.

Murong then remembered that she was a beginner horse rider and it was indeed not advisable for her to ride for too long, so he quickly helped her off the carriage.

Lou Suyi felt a soreness in her hips, which made her walk somewhat ungraceful.

Murong knew her predicament and carried her to the imperial carriage: "You are new to riding a horse, so you may feel a little uncomfortable. You will be fine after a couple of days of rest. It was my oversight that made you feel unwell."

Lou Suyi thought to herself that since she had learned to ride a horse today and wouldn't need to wear riding clothes tonight, it wasn't too bad.

However, she had a lot of fun learning to ride a horse today, and she would come back to ride horses again when Murong was busy.

Thinking of this, she leaned against Murong as if she had no bones: "Riding horses is a lot of fun. Most importantly, His Majesty personally taught me. This is a great honor. No one else has such a blessing as me."

Murong felt that the Empress was trying to bewitch him again: "You're so glib."

Lou Suyi didn't want to move and was too lazy to argue. Let him call her glib if he wants to be glib; she just wanted to sleep for a while.

Seeing that the people around him were not moving, Murong looked down and saw the Empress leaning against him, dozing off.

He didn't dare move until she was fast asleep, then he let her lean against his lap.

Lou Suyi was indeed exhausted and was completely unaware that Murong had carried her back to bed.

Lou Suyi was still a little groggy when she woke up. She sat up and it took her a while to remember that she had been learning to ride a horse.

Strangely, her legs didn't seem to hurt as much as she had imagined.

"His Majesty applied the medicine for the Empress and instructed us to take good care of her before leaving Xianfu Palace," Jinshu explained to Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi then smelled the medicine on herself: "No wonder, Your Majesty is so thoughtful."

Murong is a very busy person. In a couple of days, when she's feeling better, I'll have Yunzhong teach her to continue learning horseback riding and archery. Since she's already started learning, she should learn it properly and not give up halfway.
