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

Chapter 45 The Emperor's Shamelessness...

“I think anyone who can displease His Majesty is quite special,” Consort Liang said with a smile, looking at Murong. “It just means His Majesty has remembered this person.”

Lou Suyi was speechless for a moment.

The people in the palace are strange and speak in roundabout ways. Consort Liang's words make it seem as if being disliked by Murong is something to be happy about.

Murong glanced at Lou Suyi, who was sitting upright, and said calmly, "Kong Chen's personality is not likable."

Lou Suyi almost laughed. Why was she sitting here listening to these two go on and on about how she was disliked?
It wasn't her who wanted to enter the palace; it was Murong who invited her... nor was it her choice to sit here and listen to them discuss her personality.

Looking at the table full of food, she really wanted to overturn it and smear it all over their faces.

She was lost in her own thoughts until Consort Liang's voice reached her ears: "What are you thinking about, Miss Lou? Didn't you hear me?"

Lou Suyi replied solemnly, "This humble nun is a Buddhist nun. Your Highness, please call this humble nun Kongchen."

Consort Liang kept saying, "What's so special about Miss Lou?"
She just couldn't understand it. She had clearly shaved her head, yet the emperor wanted her to serve him in bed, and a concubine kept calling her "Miss, Miss." Miss my foot!

Consort Liang covered her mouth and laughed, her half-curled eyebrows particularly captivating: "I think Kong Chen's personality is quite good, how could His Majesty not like him?"

Lou Suyi felt annoyed; why did it keep coming up with the fact that her personality was unpleasant?

However, she is a nun, and nuns should be free from desires and should not care about things outside of the secular world.

"Never mind," she said, closing her eyes, her fingers twirling the prayer beads, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures to purify her mind.

Surprisingly, it worked quite well. She quickly cut off the sounds of Murong and Consort Liang, immersing herself entirely in the Buddhist scriptures and calming her mind.

Murong looked at Lou Suyi, who was chanting sutras to the side, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

When Ji Qingchuan served the vegetarian dishes, he saw His Majesty and Consort Liang chatting and laughing on the side, while the Fourth Miss was chanting scriptures with her eyes closed. This scene looked very strange.

He paused for a moment, then coughed twice and reminded Lou Suyi, "The vegetarian dishes are ready, Master, please have your vegetarian meal first."

Lou Suyi said "Amitabha" before burying her head in her food.

She quickly finished eating and drinking, then stood up and said, "This humble nun is going to exorcise the evil spirits. Farewell."

"I'm going to check out the excitement, Your Majesty, would you like to come along?" Consort Liang asked with great interest.

Murong remained silent, staying by the side of Consort Liang.

Lou Suyi wanted to roll her eyes at the two of them behind their backs, but she held back.

Fortunately, she had made preparations when she entered the palace. She took the peach wood sword from Yan Hui, applied cinnabar to it, and then methodically set up the exorcism array.

"This humble nun is about to perform an exorcism; please keep your distance, esteemed gentlemen." Lou Suying looked at the two important figures with a serious expression.

Murong followed her instructions and walked a little further away. Consort Liang had no choice but to walk a little further away as well. She whispered to Murong, "Kong Chen really can exorcise evil spirits. I thought it was fake."

Before long, she heard Lou Suyi reciting scriptures to exorcise evil spirits. It seemed to make sense, if Lou Suyi weren't so young and beautiful.

Murong stared intently at Lou Suyi, who was chanting scriptures, his gaze distant.

Lou Suyi recited scriptures for a full half hour before putting away the peach wood sword.

Consort Liang had been dozing off for a while, but when Lou Suying finally finished the exorcism, she smiled and asked, "Is the evil spirit gone?" Lou Suying replied with a straight face, "The evil spirit has disappeared and must have left."

"Let's go. You escort me out of Quanfu Palace," Murong ordered Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi subconsciously looked at Consort Liang, only to meet Consort Liang's probing gaze.

No wonder Consort Liang looked at her with such scrutinizing eyes. Before she arrived, Murong and Consort Liang were inseparable. But as soon as she arrived, Murong left without a word. Wouldn't she become the culprit who broke up the couple?

She could not disobey Murong's orders, so she could only stand behind Murong with a blank face, escorting him towards the gate of Quanfu Palace.

As Consort Liang watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance, her expression softened: "Mo Lan, find out as soon as possible what happened between Lou Suyi and His Majesty."

She always felt there was something strange about the relationship between Lou Suyi and Murong; it was her intuition as a woman.

Although Lou Suyi was extremely respectful to Murong after arriving at Quanfu Palace, Murong's attitude towards Lou Suyi was intriguing. Especially when she heard Murong say that Lou Suyi's personality was not likable, she seemed to sense an undercurrent of intimacy.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, she is just a nun and cannot stand in your way." Mo Lan felt that her mistress was worrying too much.

"Then why did the Empress Dowager choose Lou Suying instead of someone else to disrupt things? Doesn't this mean that the Empress Dowager believes Lou Suying is the one who can break the deadlock? Just now, His Majesty did indeed leave Quanfu Palace," Consort Liang said solemnly.

She had been immersed in the harem for several years, and the reason she was able to win over the late emperor's heart was not only because of her beautiful face, but also because she could please the late emperor in everything she did.

Moreover, Murong was not the incompetent and foolish emperor like the late emperor.

Mo Lan was speechless. After her master reminded her, she realized that her master's concerns were not unfounded.

"Yes, this servant will investigate as soon as possible the circumstances of Lou Suyi's entry into the palace." Mo Lan dared not delay any longer.

"I also need to know whether His Majesty had close contact with Lou Suyi after she entered the palace, and whether he had stayed at her residence. If necessary, I can spend a lot of money to buy information." Consort Liang said, lazily turning back to her palace.

There's plenty of time in the future. Since Murong promised her a concubine's rank, she'll wreak havoc in the harem then. She managed to tame the late emperor; she's determined to have Murong as well!

Lou Suyi saw Murong off from Quanfu Palace, thinking that was the end of it, but Murong said again, "Send me back to Qianqing Palace."

Lou Suyi was displeased: "This humble nun is not His Majesty's palace maid. His Majesty should find someone else to deliver it."

It's so annoying. If she keeps walking with Murong like this, won't all the concubines in the harem see her as a thorn in their side?

"Very well, I'll take you back to rest."

As soon as Murong finished speaking, Lou Suying changed her mind: "Your status is so noble, this humble nun should escort His Majesty."

She feared that his offering to her was a pretense, and his real intention was to have her serve him in bed. She truly did not want to have any more intimate contact with him.

Murong Shen glanced at her, his tone laced with a flirtatious glint: "Are you wary of me? What, afraid I'll sleep with you?"

Lou Suying was startled and subconsciously looked around. Only when she saw that everyone was far away from them and should not have heard Murong's shameless remarks did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Sleep, sleep, sleep, who knows who will sleep with whom.

Seeing her shifty-eyed look, Murong calmly said, "If I want your body, I can do it anytime. No matter how you try to defend yourself, it won't help."
