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

Chapter 450 He's not some man she can't show in public.
Consort Ning could no longer hold back and suddenly walked up to Consort De: "Apologize!"

Consort De scoffed, "Is Consort Ning trying to obstruct the imperial procession's journey to the Mulan Hunting Grounds?!"

Consort Ning seemed to only then realize what was happening, and stepped aside, saying, "Consort De is right to remind you."

Consort De smiled smugly, but the next moment, Consort Ning suddenly tripped her, causing her to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

Before she could lash out, Consort Ning said with concern, "Consort De, please be careful when you walk, lest you fall. To be disrespectful before the Emperor is a grave offense."

The anger that Consort De had just felt vanished in an instant.

Consort Ning is usually the most composed person, but today she actually resorted to such underhanded tactics.

"How could Consort Ning, a person of such high moral character, do such a despicable thing? No wonder she is no match for the Empress. Only a third-rank concubine would resort to such underhanded tactics. Of course, Consort Ning doesn't even have the chance to show her face before the Emperor, so she can only resort to such petty tricks to show off her power in front of me."

Consort Ning remained expressionless and ignored Consort De's clamor.

Why should she bother arguing with Consort De, that mad dog? This woman is not worth her time at all. She has never taken Consort De seriously from the beginning.

Lou Suyi got into the carriage and lay down on the bed.

The emperor's carriage was unlike that of ordinary people; it was spacious and comfortable, and not only was there a tea table, but there was also a bed for the emperor to rest in.

With her there, this bed was naturally occupied by her.

If the bed weren't so small, Murong would have liked to squeeze in with her.

The palace is about 100 li away from the Mulan Hunting Ground, and the journey takes about four hours.

Lou Suyi fell asleep as soon as she got into the carriage, and only opened her eyes groggily when she got hungry.

Hearing the commotion, Murong went forward and scooped her up.

Lou Suying was still not quite clear-headed. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are the children?"

"They're all in the carriage your mother is riding in, so don't worry. The meal is ready, please eat first." Murong knew his empress quite well; this woman had probably woken up hungry.

Lou Suyi had no objection.

Lou Suyi was somewhat surprised to see two sets of bowls and chopsticks set out: "Is His Majesty waiting for me to have my meal?"

It must be afternoon already, right?

"I'm not hungry anyway, so waiting won't hurt," Murong said calmly. "It's inconvenient to eat while traveling, so please make do with whatever you have."

Lou Suyi looked at the six steaming dishes on the coffee table: "This is no different from being in the palace."

I wonder how the imperial chef prepared the dishes on the road, or whether he bought them from an inn.

Because she was hungry, she focused on eating and quickly ate and drank her fill.

Afterwards, she went to the carriage where Empress Dowager Chen had ridden and stayed with the two children. But she did not stay in Empress Dowager Chen's carriage for long before Jiqing arrived.

"Is something the matter?" Lou Suyi asked, puzzled.

She planned to stay with the children, as it was still an hour's journey to the Mulan Hunting Grounds.

"His Majesty says he has something to discuss with the Empress and requests that the Empress come over." Ji Qing obeyed the order.

Lou Suyi frowned upon hearing this. Why didn't Murong say anything earlier?

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Chen smiled and said, "Suyi, you go ahead. I will take care of the children."

Lou Suyi kissed each of the two little princes on the cheek: "I'll go take a look. Please look after the children for me."

Empress Dowager Chen waved her hand, signaling her to leave quickly.

She felt that the emperor's claim of wanting to discuss something was a pretense; he clearly didn't want Su Yi to leave his side. Lou Su Yi returned to Murong's carriage: "Your Majesty, what is it that you wish to discuss with me?"

Murong pulled her to sit on his lap: "I just wanted to tell you that I missed you."

Lou Suyi: ...

Murong gave her a light kiss on the cheek: "We'll arrive at our destination soon. You'll have plenty of time to spend with the children, so spend more time with me now."

Lou Suying, annoyed by his high-sounding words, said, "His Majesty should be saying this to himself."

It's only an hour's journey. She could spend some time with the children, but he still wants to compete for favor. Who's as shameless as him? He's supposed to be the emperor, yet he does such childish things.

The next moment, the emperor suddenly started touching her inappropriately, which terrified her: "Your Majesty, don't do anything rash, or I will turn against you!"

This is in a carriage, and there are people all over the outside. How could he do something so shameless?

Murong carefully observed Lou Suying's expression: "Are you serious?"

"Try it and see if I'm serious!" Lou Suyi threatened Murong with her eyes.

Murong had no choice but to remove his hand from the Empress's chest and straighten her clothes: "I didn't mean that."

Lou Suyi scoffed: "Yes, I misunderstood. His Majesty didn't think of anything."

How is his behavior any different from that of a tyrannical ruler blinded by lust? He actually becomes obsessed with women.

Murong held his empress respectfully and said, "Even if I thought that way, it's normal. I'm just a normal man."

With the woman he loves in his arms, how could he possibly remain unmoved?

Lou Suyi didn't want him to hold her, lest he touch her inappropriately again.

But she couldn't escape his control. He insisted on holding her, kissing and touching her from time to time, and almost tried to take off her clothes again.

"If Your Majesty continues like this, we'll sleep in separate rooms tonight," Lou Suyi threatened.

Murong gave the Empress a quick kiss on the neck: "Don't even think about it."

Seeing Lou Suyi glare at him, he said, "I didn't do anything to you. Assigning you a room makes you seem very unreasonable."

Lou Suyi pinched his arm hard: "Is Your Majesty sure I'm the one who's being unreasonable?"

Under the Empress's violent threats, Murong immediately admitted his mistake: "It was I who was unreasonable. But separate rooms are impossible, not even a thought is allowed."

At worst, he can just not touch her. At night, she'll still be fish on his chopping board, waiting for him to savor her.
Lou Suyi had no idea of ​​His Majesty the Emperor's filthy thoughts. Seeing that he had finally behaved himself, she simply lay down on the bed.

It's so boring to be stuck in a carriage with a grown man like him; it's much more fun to be with the children.

When Murong saw that the woman who had been tossing and turning had finally quieted down, he knew that she had fallen asleep.

She was fine; besides liking him, she also liked her mother and her two children. Even away from him, she was still happy and carefree.

He was different; he was only happy when she was around. No one else mattered.

Fortunately, she was already his wife, and the person she loved was him; otherwise, he might have done something irrational.

Lou Suying didn't sleep as soundly as before. She vaguely felt Murong watching her, but she still slept peacefully until Murong woke her up: "We've arrived at the Mulan Hunting Grounds. Would you like me to carry you off the carriage?"

Lou Suying immediately opened her eyes, regained her senses, and said energetically, "I'll get off the carriage myself."

"Don't you need my help?" Murong was displeased with Lou Suyi's avoidance of him like the plague. They were husband and wife; he wasn't some man she couldn't have in the light of day.

Haha
