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

Chapter 451 I Will Serve You
Lou Suyi quickly jumped off the carriage, giving Murong her answer through her actions.

Murong had no choice but to let her have her way.

The main camp where the emperor and empress resided had been set up; it was the most spacious and fully furnished.

Empress Dowager Chen's camp was located next to the Emperor and Empress's, very close by.

Logically speaking, Consort Ning's rank was second only to Lou Suyi, so she should have been stationed next to the Emperor and Empress's camp.

However, Lou Suyi discovered that apart from Empress Dowager Chen, there was no one else beside her and Murong's camp.

"Doesn't Consort Ning live nearby?" Lou Suyi asked, puzzled.

She assumed that Consort Ning was so eager to participate in the hunt because she wanted to get close to Murong and win the chance to serve him in bed.

"I don't want others to disturb my husband and me. The twenty concubines accompanying me will gather in another tent." Murong thought this was a minor matter and did not discuss it with Lou Suyi beforehand.

Lou Suyi: ...

Why does she feel that Murong is refreshing her understanding of him every day?

"Rest tonight, and I'll take you hunting again tomorrow." Murong added, "I'll take you to the hot springs; I'm sure you'll love it."

Lou Suyi was very interested in soaking in hot springs, but she didn't want to go with Murong.

So she feigned a lack of interest: "All I want to do right now is eat."

Even if she wanted to soak in the hot springs, she should wait until Murong was asleep. However, she felt that the chances of that happening were too slim.

Murong immediately ordered people to prepare a meal.

Seeing that the Empress was holding a small prince in each arm and looked very busy, he said, "Since you rarely leave the palace, why don't you leave the children with the Empress Dowager?"

"Empress Dowager rarely leaves the palace, and she has to travel a long way. How can I just sit back and do nothing?" Lou Suyi said dismissively.

Furthermore, Empress Dowager Chen is getting old, and it's already difficult for her to take care of one child. If she were to take care of two children at the same time, how tiring would that be?

Murong thought it was simple: "You can leave the child with Jinshu and the others."

As soon as Murong finished speaking, the young crown prince hugged Lou Suyi's waist and asked, "May I sleep with Mother Empress tonight?"

Lou Suyi looked at the young prince with a loving expression: "Of course you can."

The young prince's face immediately lit up with joy, but he didn't dare look at his father.

Every time the Emperor visited Xianfu Palace, he would always occupy the Empress's side. The Emperor would say that he was growing up and shouldn't always cling to the Empress, but he just loved staying by her side.

At dinner time, Lou Suyi noticed that Murong was eating little and assumed that the dishes did not suit his taste: "Your Majesty, should we ask the kitchen to prepare more dishes?"

"I have no appetite," Murong said calmly.

Lou Suying thought he was in a bad mood because he was jealous of the children. He was always like this in the palace, and she was used to it.

"Even if you don't have an appetite, you should eat more," Lou Suyi said, diligently helping Murong serve food.

Seeing that she was holding another child, Murong stepped forward and placed Xiao Xiao on his lap: "You eat first, don't spoil them."

Lou Suyi found it amusing, but still went along with him: "I will listen to Your Majesty."

Murong glanced at the empress who was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, but did not expose her lack of sincerity.

Lou Suyi thought she could get a good night's sleep, but after the two children were put to sleep, Murong suddenly carried her out of the camp.

"Where is Your Majesty taking me? Can you put me down? I can walk by myself." Lou Suying glanced around furtively, afraid that someone would see her being held in Murong's arms like this.

No matter what, Murong's actions were far too outrageous. "You'll find out soon enough," Murong deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

Lou Suying, however, thought of a place. Looking at Murong's handsome face so close to her, she asked, "Your Majesty, you're not taking me to a hot spring, are you?"

His Majesty the Emperor most likely has this in mind.

Murong affectionately nuzzled her nose: "Intelligent."

Lou Suying thought to herself that it wasn't because she was particularly clever, but because she knew he was full of bad intentions. She suspected that soaking in the hot spring was just a pretense, and that Murong actually wanted to do something bad to her.

“But the children…” Lou Suyi couldn’t help but feel worried.

"With Jinshu and the others here, they will take good care of the children, so you don't need to worry." Murong certainly valued the two children and would not allow anything to happen to them.

There were many guards protecting the camp. He had also secretly instructed Yunzhong to protect Lou Suyi and her children while they were out of the palace. Now that Lou Suyi was by his side, Yunzhong's task was to protect the two young princes.

Lou Suyi chuckled: "I'm not very interested in hot springs, can I skip it?"

"You'll find out how fun it is to soak in a hot spring soon," Murong said, nuzzling Lou Suyi's nose against hers.

Lou Suying's expression was indescribable: "But I'm really not interested in soaking in hot springs."

Could we give her some choice?

"You'll fall in love with it in a moment," Murong said confidently.

Lou Suyi coughed twice, feeling that His Majesty the Emperor was somewhat autocratic, leaving her no room for choice.

Since her suggestions were useless, she stopped wasting her breath and was led by Murong to the hot spring pool.

There are other hot spring pools nearby, and lights can be seen not far away, but because they are far away, no sound can be heard.

When the palace maids guarding the area saw the Emperor and Empress arrive, they were about to pay their respects when Murong waved his hand. The maids then filed out of the hot spring pool and stood guard outside.

Once there were no outsiders present, Murong stepped forward to help Lou Suyi undress.

Lou Suyi slapped his hand away: "I can do it myself."

"Let your husband serve you." Murong, however, thoroughly enjoyed the process.

Seeing this, Lou Suying had no choice but to let him have his way. After all, His Majesty the Emperor was an autocrat; he would do whatever he wanted. Her refusal was probably seen by him as a coy refusal, which would likely add some spice to his life.

Seeing that she was only wearing a thin undergarment, Murong actually wanted to take it off again, and Lou Suying immediately shivered: "Cold..."

The next moment, Murong picked her up and placed her in the hot spring pool.

Once Murong also entered the pool, the spacious hot spring pool immediately became crowded.

Everything was normal at first, but before long, Murong moved closer to her and kissed her without saying a word.

Lou Suying looked up at the stars in the sky, thinking to herself that there was really no surprise at all. She had long since figured out His Majesty the Emperor's filthy thoughts.

But won't his indulgence in such things harm his health? Won't engaging in sexual activity in a hot spring pool cause health problems?
Perhaps sensing her distraction, the emperor suddenly gripped her waist tightly and kissed her even more passionately...

An hour later, Lou Suying saw that Murong wanted to continue, so she quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty, we will be hunting tomorrow."

If she keeps acting up, she definitely won't be able to get on a horse tomorrow.

He was full of energy, but she was delicate and couldn't withstand such torment.

Seeing the Empress's pitiful state after being ravaged, Murong's anger lingered, but he still took pity on her and let her go. Otherwise, the Empress would hold a grudge and might not allow him to sleep with her.

"Fine, I'll let you go tonight." Murong then added, "Your body is indeed a bit weak; you need to take some tonics."
