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

Chapter 463 Blood Smeared All Over His Face

"Alright, tell me when you've thought of something." Murong said, taking Lou Suyi's hand and heading towards the camp.

Lou Suying was still trying to figure out what she had been hiding from Murong, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't come up with a solution.

It wasn't until she was lying in bed that she suddenly remembered something.

She hesitated, glancing at Murong, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Yes, he is the emperor. Although he focuses on important court affairs, nothing he wants to know can escape his eyes.

"It's late, let's talk tomorrow," Murong said calmly, knowing she had finally remembered.

Lou Suyi blinked and stopped worrying about it.

Before going to sleep, she was still thinking that since Consort Ning and Xie Zhijie had been caught red-handed this time, did that mean that two potential problems could be eliminated at once?
She originally thought these two people would be difficult to get rid of, but she never expected that Murong would solve the problem so easily.

Whatever the reason for their arrest, they ultimately fell into their hands.

Thinking of this, she became excited, stepped past the two children, went up to Murong, and gave him a big kiss.

Her husband is the most powerful person in the world!

Murong's eyes darkened slightly.

He wanted her to sleep peacefully, but instead, she insisted on teasing him, deliberately trying to prevent him from getting a good night's rest.

Seeing Murong's eyes suddenly darken, Lou Suying sensed something was wrong and quickly lay back down, suppressing a smile as she said, "Your Majesty should also go to sleep early."

I don't know what this person is thinking all day long; he can get emotional just from a kiss.

Murong looked at the two children standing between him and the Empress, and could only forcefully suppress his anger.

The next day, Lou Suying woke up looking refreshed, while Murong, on the other hand, seemed to have slept poorly. She asked with concern, "Did Your Majesty not sleep well?"

Murong glanced at his wife and truly envied her.

She slept soundly last night, and fell asleep as soon as he turned over, while he did the opposite.

"I definitely didn't sleep as well as you."

Murong Cai replied sarcastically, and Lou Suying threw herself into his arms and kissed him hard.

Murong immediately softened and pointed to her other cheek: "Give me a kiss here too."

Lou Suyi readily complied and kissed his other cheek.

At this moment, the young prince also came over and said, "Kiss me, Mother!"

Lou Suyi was about to pick up the child and kiss him when Murong intercepted the child.

He placed a kiss on the child's cheek: "Father, you too."

The young prince was content. Although he longed for his mother's kisses, his father's kisses were better than nothing.

The family was all smiles, and Lou Suying's face was beaming with joy because two thorns in her side had been removed.

But as soon as she came out of the camp, she saw the general's wife and the women of his household kneeling on the ground.

Upon seeing her emerge, the general's wife crawled to her side and pleaded, "Your Majesty, I beg you to intercede with His Majesty. Consort Ning's heart belongs to His Majesty; she could never have an affair with Lord Xie, let alone betray His Majesty."

Lou Suying calmly opened her lips: "So many people witnessed Consort Ning and Lord Xie's secret rendezvous in the woods. Whether they have an affair, whether there's collusion between the concubines of the harem and the court officials, will be investigated thoroughly. Madam, please rise. You shouldn't have come to me for this matter. Consort Ning has disgraced the royal family. Do you think it would be useful to ask me for help?" The General's wife remained silent. So many people saw her daughter with Lord Xie last night; how could she possibly explain herself?
And it was at night, who would go into the woods for no reason?
At this moment, the Third Miss Ning suddenly spoke up: "Does Her Majesty the Empress have no selfish motives? Who doesn't know that Her Majesty the Empress is autocratic and domineering, clinging to His Majesty? If Consort Ning were removed, Her Majesty the Empress would be the only one in the harem!"

She almost said directly that the reason Consort Ning was caught in the act of adultery was because of Lou Suyi's scheme.

Lou Suying laughed after hearing this: "Ning San, you really know how to flatter Consort Ning. How can Consort Ning, a woman who has served His Majesty for many years but has never been able to serve him in bed, be worthy of being my rival?!"

The women of the general's mansion felt a burning pain on their faces when they heard Lou Suyi's words.

The crowd pointed and whispered about the women of the General's Mansion. At this moment, Murong walked to Lou Suyi's side and calmly said, "Since you like kneeling, then keep kneeling. Ning San dared to disrespect the Empress, slap him in the face!"

At the emperor's command, a maid immediately stepped forward and dragged Ning San out.

The old woman was strong; after a few slaps, Ning San's face quickly became red and swollen.

Murong did not give an order to stop, and the slapping continued.

After dozens of slaps, Ning San's mouth was full of blood, but the slaps wouldn't stop until Murong spoke.

Lou Suyi was delighted to watch the spectacle. Ning San didn't even know his place, daring to yell at her, the Empress.

However, the General's Mansion will eventually be wiped out by Murong, and the root of this disaster was planted by Consort Ning.

Seeing that the old woman showed no sign of stopping, the general's wife crawled to Murong's feet and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please have mercy! The child is still young and doesn't know any better, that's why he spoke without thinking..."

"The lady who is about to be married says she is still too young. Why doesn't the lady say that there is a problem with the upbringing of the General's Mansion?" Murong turned to look at Lou Suyi. "Even I can't bear to see the Empress suffer the slightest grievance, yet Ning San dares to shout at the Empress. Who gave her the audacity?!"

His words silenced the entire room, leaving only the sound of Ning San being slapped, interspersed with Ning San's cries of pain.

Lou Suyi knew that Murong was really angry. As an emperor, when had he ever made such a big fuss over a quarrel between women?
He only intervened because she had been wronged.

The general's wife was immediately humiliated, and the other women in the family were even more ashamed to face their husbands.

But if they don't stop, even if Ning San doesn't die, his face will be ruined.

Just then, General Zhaowu arrived and knelt before the Emperor and Empress: "My daughter has been disobedient. Please forgive her death sentence, Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

Murong looked at General Zhaowu with a complicated expression.

He has always been more tolerant of soldiers who defend their country, simply because they deserve it.

He actually trusted General Zhaowu's character, but Consort Ning...

He stepped forward to help General Zhaowu up, and calmly said, "I will spare Ning San this time, but only once, and there will be no next time."

General Zhaowu quickly expressed his gratitude.

The old woman finally stopped slapping him, and Ning San fell to the ground, his face covered in blood.

As everyone has heard, the women of the General's Mansion immediately left the Mulan Hunting Grounds. Coupled with the scandalous affair involving Consort Ning, the once illustrious General's Mansion is likely to face a grim fate.

Lou Suyi was in a good mood, but because of what happened in the morning, she decided not to leave the camp.

Murong was not at the main camp and had not returned by lunchtime. Lou Suyi was curious about Murong's whereabouts but could not find anyone to ask.

When Murong returned, Lou Suyi noticed that he had changed his clothes.

She looked Murong up and down: "Where did His Majesty go? Why is he only returning now?"
