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

Chapter 466 Perverted Possessiveness
Murong really wanted to go with them, but Lou Suyi gave the order, so he had to hold back.

In any case, the person is under his nose, and he will return to the palace in a few hours. By then, she will have no chance of escaping his sphere of influence.

He could immediately sense if she showed even the slightest intention to leave him.

He knew that this strong possessiveness was a little abnormal, but as long as she didn't know, she wouldn't dislike him. He just needed to hide it well so that she wouldn't find out.

Lou Suyi was fairly satisfied to see that Murong hadn't followed.

As soon as she reached Empress Dowager Chen's carriage, the little prince clung to her, and Xiao Xiao'er also reached out for a hug.

Spending time with the children made her time in the carriage very enjoyable.

It wasn't until she heard the commotion outside that she lifted the curtain in confusion and looked out. There was a man next to the carriage, none other than Murong riding a tall horse.

Seeing Lou Suyi glaring at him, Murong said in a high-sounding tone, "I am worried about the safety on the way back to the palace. This carriage is filled with people I care about, so it would be more reassuring to have them by my side."

Lou Suyi gave a light chuckle and turned her head to see Empress Dowager Chen's intrigued gaze.

Fearing that the Empress Dowager would be jealous, she immediately explained, "His Majesty was worried about the Empress Dowager's safety and specially went to protect her. This shows His Majesty's filial piety towards the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Chen knew exactly what the Emperor was thinking. It was just that Su Yi was good at talking and coaxing her.

"You don't need to worry about me being unhappy. I'm happy that the Emperor has learned to be considerate and won't be jealous of a mere maid like you," Empress Dowager Chen said, suppressing a smile.

Lou Suyi was a little embarrassed, her face flushed and her ears burned.

Empress Dowager Chen suppressed a smile, took her hand and said, "I am overjoyed to see the good relationship between you and your husband. If it weren't for you, I would never have seen this side of the Emperor in my life."

Lou Suyi's face fell slightly. She thought to herself that she had only recently realized that Murong was so clingy. Where was the emperor's demeanor?
Murong heard the conversation coming from inside the carriage and a smile appeared on his face.

The two women in the carriage were the two most important people in his life, so of course he had to protect them well.

Lou Suyi was still worried that Murong would get too tired from riding a horse, so she stayed in Empress Dowager Chen's carriage for half an hour before obediently returning to the Emperor's carriage.

Sure enough, as soon as she got back to the carriage, Murong stopped riding his horse and didn't even pretend anymore.

She said irritably, "With the Empress Dowager watching, can't His Majesty restrain himself a little?"

"Mother won't be jealous of you." Seeing that Lou Suying's expression had softened considerably, Murong immediately leaned forward, wanting to hug her.

Lou Suying noticed the dark circles under his eyes and felt sorry for him after all: "Your Majesty, please get some sleep."

How could she have imagined that such a small matter could keep him up at night?

"I'm not sleepy..."

Under Lou Suyi's gaze, Murong immediately felt guilty. He coughed lightly twice: "Okay, I'll take a nap."

The empress is the real culprit, but he likes her.

After Murong lay down, he still insisted on holding Lou Suyi's hand. Lou Suyi couldn't break free, so she had no choice but to let him.

Murong was indeed exhausted, having barely slept all night. With Lou Suyi by his side, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Lou Suyi did nothing but stare at Murong's face, and surprisingly, she didn't find it boring at all. She was completely oblivious to the passage of time.

Maybe it's just because he's good-looking, or maybe it's just because she likes him a lot, but she never gets tired of looking at him.

Murong slept for an hour, and when he saw Lou Suyi next to him, he was still somewhat dazed.

"Are you hungry? The food is ready, Your Majesty, please eat." Lou Suying said, making arrangements.

Watching the woman bustling about for him, an indescribable sense of happiness welled up in Murong's heart. As evening fell, the imperial procession finally returned to the palace.

Lou Suying immediately took a bath and ate her meal. The moment she lay down on the bed, she felt that her life was complete. No wonder they say there's no place like home; it's always more comfortable to be on your own turf.

That night, Murong was sensible enough not to lay a hand on her.

After a night's rest, Lou Suyi was fully recovered.

The next day was the day when all the concubines paid their respects to her. Since they all knew that Consort Ning had been arrested, the concubines looked somewhat dejected.

Only Consort De was in high spirits and laughed, "Who would have thought that Consort Ning, who usually seems the most docile, is actually the most shameless, daring to seduce an official of the court? Consort Ning has completely disgraced the royal family."

No one else responded, let alone took advantage of the situation.

Everyone understands the principle of "the rabbit mourns the fox's death," so there's no reason why Consort De shouldn't know it.

This time, it's Consort Ning who's been arrested. Regardless of the outcome, her position as a consort is certainly in jeopardy. If things get even more serious, the General's Mansion will also be implicated by Consort Ning.

In fact, everyone suspected that this was Lou Suyi's doing. If this woman really attacked Consort Ning, she might also attack them.

Liang Wanying was also feeling bad.

She was also present at the time and witnessed the entire process of Consort Ning being caught in adultery.

Lou Suying was clearly the last to arrive, while Murong was the first. She felt that Lou Suying was not the mastermind behind the affair between Consort Ning and Xie Zhijie, but rather it was more likely Murong's doing.

If what she suspects is true, then things are even more serious.

How could an emperor easily interfere in the affairs of the inner palace?

Xie Zhijie used to be Murong's most valued minister. Murong would only take action against Xie Zhijie if Xie Zhijie displeased him.

Murong cherishes talent, so how could he easily deal with his own minister? Unless, of course, Xie Zhijie did something that Murong could not tolerate.

After much thought, she concluded that Lou Suying was the catalyst. Because Lou Suying and Xie Zhijie had a past, and Murong cared about Lou Suying, she had a motive for doing this.

If Murong can go to such lengths for Lou Suyi, it wouldn't be surprising if he disbanded the harem for Lou Suyi in the future.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt, realizing that she might one day really leave this palace.

unable.

She has always lived a life of unparalleled glory; how could she leave this place where she has struggled for so many years? Where would she put her face then?

That's secondary. If she were sent out of the palace, how could her family tolerate her?

She could imagine spending her remaining years with only the company of a Buddhist lamp and ancient Buddha statues, and she did not want to end up like that.

"It is a fact that Consort Ning has an affair with a court official, which many people have witnessed. I hope everyone will take this as a warning and not make the same mistake," Lou Suyi said solemnly.

Everyone responded in unison.

After paying their respects, everyone left in turn.

Consort De had something else to say to Lou Suyi, so she deliberately left it until the very end.

Once everyone had left, Lou Suying looked at Consort De, who was deliberately dawdling and walking at the very back: "Do you have something to say?"

Consort De's actions were so obvious that it was hard for her not to notice them.
