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

Chapter 467 Feelings cannot withstand the test.

Consort De was wondering how to start a conversation with Lou Suyi when Lou Suyi took the initiative to speak to her. She whispered, "Actually, I have a suggestion that Your Majesty might like to hear."

She felt that there was still a chance to change her fate, and her hope lay in Lou Suyi. She was now counting on the Empress.

Lou Suyi rarely saw Consort De looking so flustered, which piqued her curiosity: "Tell me about it."

What advice could Consort De possibly offer? This woman just thrives on chaos.

"Your Majesty and His Majesty have such a good relationship that His Majesty will definitely grant any request Your Majesty makes." Consort De said with a smile, which seemed to be currying favor.

Seeing that Consort De was being coy, Lou Suyi said calmly, "Just say what you have to say."

Consort De glanced around to make sure no one else was present before whispering, "Has Your Majesty ever considered spending your life with His Majesty as one? And then, persuade His Majesty to disband the harem?"

Lou Suyi looked at Consort De in disbelief, only to see that Consort De's expression was serious and earnest, not like she was joking.

Lou Suyi never expected that Consort De would dare to give her such a terrible idea.

Even if Murong treats her well, he is still the emperor. How could he disband the harem for her sake? This Consort De really dares to think that way.

Or was it that Consort De brought this up deliberately to sow discord between her and Murong?
If she were to bring this up with Murong, what would he think of her?

When Consort De saw the suspicious look in Lou Suyi's eyes, she knew that Lou Suyi was overthinking things.

She quickly explained, "I'm just making a suggestion. To be honest, I'm also thinking about my own future. I used to like His Majesty, but seeing the affection between His Majesty and Your Highness, I felt both jealous and envious. A man like His Majesty, if he falls in love, will love for a lifetime. Then the other concubines have no hope of staying in the harem. Rather than wasting the rest of our lives in the harem, it's better to leave the palace. If nothing else, at least we'll be free."

She felt that Lou Suyi was different from other women, and Murong would listen to Lou Suyi, which was why she dared to bring up this matter with Lou Suyi.

She was a time-traveling woman, while Lou Suyi was a reborn woman. She used to look down on Lou Suyi, but as it turns out, Lou Suyi was much more capable than her, the time-traveling woman.

Lou Suyi saw the sincerity in Consort De's expression and felt that she was telling the truth.

She truly hadn't expected that Consort De would dare to make such a suggestion. As the person directly involved, she couldn't even imagine it.

After a long pause, she said, "You can tell me about this, but you must never mention it to His Majesty..."

"Doesn't Your Majesty wish for His Majesty to be with only one person for life?" Consort De interrupted Lou Suyi, puzzled.

Lou Suying certainly wanted to, but it wasn't realistic, given Murong's status.

She felt that people shouldn't be too greedy and should know when to stop.

"Is that what Your Highness is thinking too? Since Your Highness also wants to have His Majesty all to yourself, why not give it a try? How will Your Highness know it won't work if you don't try?" Consort De asked, frowning.

Lou Suyi really found Consort De to be a very strange person.

She herself wouldn't dare to have such a thought, so how could Consort De have such a thought?

Dissolving the harem is a huge deal, yet she can change the ancestral rules established by the royal family with just a casual remark?
"I'll pretend I never heard of this, and don't mention it again." Lou Suying's face darkened, and she ordered someone to see the guest out.

Consort De was still unwilling to give up: "Your Majesty, please consider my suggestion. Your Majesty is favored by His Majesty, so you may not realize it, but we concubines who are not favored by His Majesty are destined to live like widows. Are we just meant to waste the rest of our lives in this harem?" "You should ask yourself that question. Since you chose to enter the palace, you should have been prepared for not being favored. You may leave!" Lou Suyi coldly dismissed her.

Consort De felt that Lou Suyi was a woman with no ambition whatsoever.

She walked up to Lou Suying and whispered in her ear, "Actually, I think it's quite ordinary that Your Majesty could be resurrected. I even think Your Majesty traveled directly from the year the accident happened. Because I'm the same, a time traveler from thousands of years in the future. I'm not from this dynasty. In my place, everyone is equal, and monogamy is the norm. To be honest, I hope Your Majesty can also have monogamy with His Majesty. Your Majesty, please consider my words. After all, this is a good opportunity. If His Majesty loves Your Majesty enough, why can't he disband the harem for you? Your Majesty should also want to know how much His Majesty loves you, right?"

Having said what she needed to say, she took two steps back and quickly walked away.

Lou Suyi stood there, still processing what Consort De had said to her.

Over the years, she had almost forgotten that she was someone who had been resurrected. But Consort De claimed she traveled from thousands of years in the future. She even said that her era practiced monogamy?
Seeing that Lou Suyi's expression was off, Jinshu quickly came over and asked, "What did Consort De and the Empress say to each other?"

Lou Suyi opened her mouth, still finding it unbelievable.

If Consort De's words are true, then why tell her? Is it because they share similar experiences?
She traveled from the past to the future, while Consort De traveled from the future to the present.

Consort De made a valid point about one thing: there's no doubt that Murong loves her, but just how much does he love her? Is he really capable of disbanding the harem for her?

But she also knew that feelings couldn't withstand the test.

If you have to be so calculating and petty in life, how tiring would that be?
That evening, Murong came to Xianfu Palace for dinner and immediately noticed that Lou Suying was distracted.

"Something on your mind?" Murong Weilou, dressed in plain clothes and eating simple food, did not forget to observe her expression.

Or perhaps she simply felt uncomfortable returning to the palace. While at the Mulan Hunting Grounds, she wanted to stay outside the palace for a few more days, but he secretly carried her onto the carriage.

Perhaps that's why she was so unhappy.

"Do you want to go out of the palace for fun? I have a lot of things to attend to lately. Once I'm done, I'll accompany you out of the palace." Murong deliberately softened his voice.

Lou Suyi glanced at him: "Your Majesty is busy with important matters. I don't just play all day long."

"That's not what I meant," Murong quickly explained.

Lou Suyi didn't say anything more and focused on eating.

Murong still felt that something was off about her today, but he didn't say anything more.

As the meal progressed, Murong became increasingly suspicious of Lou Suyi.

She has always been an optimistic person, and if she had something to say, she would definitely tell him directly. The fact that she is unwilling to say it proves that these are things she finds difficult to say.

After he finished bathing, seeing that Lou Suyi still hadn't spoken, he said again, "We are husband and wife. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell me. I will do my best to help you achieve your wishes."

Lou Suyi glanced at him after hearing this. He still knew not to speak too definitively.

After all, when they were at the Mulan Hunting Grounds, he said he could grant her request, but in the end he secretly took her onto the carriage. The emperor's words were like farts.
