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

Chapter 465 The Emperor's Words Are Deceitful

"So Your Majesty agrees?" Lou Suyi pretended not to know that His Majesty was being sarcastic.

So, he's a clumsy, saw-mouthed gourd, huh? Well, she really won't tolerate that.

Murong remained silent, while Lou Suying smiled and said, "I knew His Majesty treated me the best. What I want, His Majesty will definitely give me."

Murong opened his mouth, but couldn't find the words.

After returning to the camp, Lou Suying went to bed and rested. Even as the seat next to her became slightly heavy, she did not look at Murong again.

He wanted her to return to the palace with him, so he should have said so. Instead, he sulked and said nothing. Who can he blame?

Seeing Lou Suying about to fall asleep on the bed, Murong couldn't help but say, "There are still many affairs in the harem that need your attention. The Empress Dowager is getting old, and it's not good for her to keep overworking herself."

Lou Suyi found it amusing.

It's something that can be said in a single sentence, but he insists on making it so complicated and roundabout. Why can't he just explain it clearly?

"It's no big deal to let Consort An act as regent for a few days." Lou Suyi opened her eyes and smiled at Murong.

Murong was speechless, quickly trying to figure out how to smooth things over.

He didn't want her to be alone outside the palace. Who knew if she would find the palace unpleasant and never return?
“I don’t trust Consort An to handle things. It’s better for you, the Empress, to personally manage the affairs of the inner palace,” Murong replied calmly.

Lou Suying readily agreed: "Then let it sit for a few days, and I'll deal with it when I return to the palace. People are adaptable, and there's always a way to solve problems. Besides, this isn't a big deal. When I was pregnant before, the harem still functioned normally, didn't it? It's getting late, I'm going to sleep. Your Majesty should also rest early."

She closed her eyes as she spoke, wanting to know if Murong would make his point clear.

She could feel Murong's gaze fixed on her, but the man refused to make himself clear.

After waiting for a while, she got really sleepy and soon fell asleep.

Murong was left tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Looking at his carefree empress, who was sleeping like a log, he truly admired her sleeping skills.

Murong couldn't sleep that night, so when Lou Suyi opened her eyes, she saw the dark circles under Murong's eyes, which were so obvious that she couldn't ignore them.

Was this idiot agonizing over this all night?
Lou Suyi waved to Murong: "I'm not going back to the palace today anyway, I'll continue sleeping for a while."

Murong: ...

He slowly washed up, deliberately making loud noises, hoping to wake the woman. But she remained completely still.

Yes, he took the two children back to the palace, and then had the Crown Prince trick Lou Suyi into returning to the palace.

Xiao Muchen had no objection and climbed onto the bed to kiss Lou Suyi: "Mother, will you accompany my brother and me back to the palace? I can't bear to part with you..."

Lou Suying opened her eyes helplessly: "Mother will go back in a few days. It's rare for Mother to leave the palace, and she wants to stay a few more days. Chen'er will definitely agree to Mother's request, won't he?"

Murong has no shame; he actually used a child as a weapon.

If he doesn't say it to her in person today, she really won't go back to the palace. Let's see who can hold it in longer.

The young prince always looked up to his mother, and upon hearing this, he immediately nodded vigorously: "Then can I stay outside the palace with Mother for a few more days?"

"Of course you can, but your father has to agree first," Lou Suyi said, looking at the emperor standing there.

Murong was eavesdropping on the conversation between the mother and son, secretly cursing the Crown Prince for being useless, easily swayed by Lou Suyi's words.

“No. The Crown Prince is of noble status and it is dangerous for him to stay outside the palace. He must return to the palace with me.” Murong looked at the young Crown Prince expectantly, hoping that he would continue to cling to Lou Suyi.

To everyone's surprise, the Crown Prince only responded with a disappointed sigh and obediently got out of bed. Lou Suying saw the conflicted look on Murong's face and was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it on her face.

Seeing that Murong made no further move, she ignored him, closed her eyes and continued to sleep, soon falling into a deep sleep.

Murong looked at the sleeping Lou Suyi with deep eyes, and soon came up with an idea.

Lou Suying slept soundly until she suddenly felt something was wrong and abruptly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing Murong sitting next to her, and then realizing that she was asleep in the carriage, she instantly understood that Murong had carried her directly into the carriage after she fell asleep.

She must have been sleeping so soundly that she didn't even notice she'd been moved.

It must be said that the emperor was very tight-lipped, but he was also very cunning.

It was her own miscalculation that she was so easily tricked into getting into the carriage.

"Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

How did I end up in a carriage?

Murong and Lou Suyi spoke almost in unison.

"Tell me, how did I end up in the carriage? Didn't His Majesty promise to let me stay outside the palace for a few more days?" Lou Suyi planned to settle the score later.

Murong had already prepared his words: "It was only just before I set off that I realized something was amiss. We don't know if Xie Zhijie and Consort Ning have any accomplices. Although they have been captured, if they still have accomplices, they might take advantage of my absence to harm you. After much consideration, I still feel that you are safer in the palace."

Lou Suyi thought that he was indeed worthy of being the emperor; he spoke eloquently and was very good at finding reasons so that she could not find any fault with him.

She turned her back to Murong, not wanting to talk to him.

Murong assumed she was angry and said patiently, "I changed my mind at the last minute for your safety. If you want to go out of the palace to play, I'll take you next time."

Lou Suying sneered. He talks a good game, but she didn't believe him.

Seeing that Lou Suyi still ignored him, Murong had no choice but to step forward and hug her to sit in his lap: "Of course, the most important thing is that I can't bear to see you leave my side."

Lou Suyi punched him in the chest in annoyance.

It's just a simple sentence, but he had to make it so awkward and roundabout. She really admired him.

"If you're angry, take it out on me. I just can't bear to leave you alone outside the palace, and I'm worried that if something happens to you, you won't have anyone to take care of you." Murong kissed Lou Suyi intermittently, thinking that the charm tactic might be worth a try.

Lou Suyi pushed him away, saying, "Don't touch me, I'm still angry."

Murong had no choice but to let her go. Seeing that she ignored him, he said good-naturedly, "It's all my fault after all. I'll do whatever you want."

Since the person was already under his nose, even if Lou Suyi ignored him, he wouldn't lose anything.

Lou Suyi turned around and glared at Murong again: "Your Majesty is the emperor, what wrong could you possibly be? If anyone is wrong, it's me."

"Of course not. This time I was wrong. You can hit me or scold me as you please." Murong said, grabbing Lou Suyi's hand, wanting her to slap him.

Lou Suying quickly withdrew her hand: "Don't go crazy, I'm not angry. But Your Majesty, you are not allowed to touch me or speak to me!"

Murong had no objection and sat quietly to the side.

Lou Suyi felt this wasn't enough, so she stood up and said, "I'll ride in the Empress Dowager's carriage; Your Majesty is not allowed to come along."
