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

Chapter 51 Who Cares About His Imperial Body...

Lou Suyi was unfamiliar with the place and dared not wander around, so she simply waited obediently in front of Hanzhang's room.

Just then, a palace maid with a classical and graceful appearance walked over.

For some reason, Lou Suyi felt that this palace maid looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

"This servant is Jinse, a palace maid who serves the Emperor. Why would the Abbess come to Qianqing Palace at this hour?" Jinse said, making no attempt to hide her scrutiny of Lou Suyi.

Her blunt gaze made Su Yi uncomfortable, and she really wanted to retort to this impolite palace maid, "What's it to her?"

But she was a polite nun and didn't bother arguing with such a person, so she replied calmly, "This humble nun is here to serve before the Empress Dowager by imperial decree."

She was just one sentence away from telling the palace maid: "If you're so capable, go and make Empress Dowager Chen rescind the imperial decree."

Jinse was still scrutinizing Lou Suyi's face, and the more she looked, the less she liked it. She felt that Lou Suyi was too bright and didn't seem like a docile person.

The concubines and some restless palace maids all wanted to climb into the emperor's bed. She was afraid that this nun Kongchen was not pure of heart and would take advantage of her position to seduce the emperor.

"Master, you must remember one thing: when serving before the Emperor, you must be obedient and not covet things that do not belong to you," Jinse warned.

Lou Suyi was genuinely curious about what gave Jinse, a mere palace maid, the audacity to put on airs in front of her. "Some things that don't belong to oneself"—could it be referring to the emperor's body?
But what can be done? She has already enjoyed the dragon's body.

"Did you hear what I said, Master?" Jinse saw that Lou Suyi's eyes were vacant and felt that this nun was deliberately ignoring her.

"I was wondering where His Majesty is. The Empress Dowager ordered me to serve His Majesty except during court sessions. Now His Majesty is nowhere to be found. I wonder if the Empress Dowager will punish me for my poor performance?" Lou Suyi said with a distressed sigh. "Alas, being entrusted with such an important task by the Empress Dowager is such a heavy burden."

Jinse was rendered speechless by Lou Suyi's words.

Is this nun showing off that she can serve the emperor at all times?

She frowned at Lou Suyi, who then said "Amitabha" again: "Actually, I don't understand why the Empress Dowager insists that I protect His Majesty. I think it's quite tiring to do this job. If only someone could take my place and do this hard work."

Jinse was so angry at Lou Suyi that she laughed.

She was initially skeptical, but now every word this nun uttered was flaunting how much the Empress Dowager valued her. How could there be such a shameless nun?

When Murong returned from the bathhouse, he saw Lou Suyi and Jinse chatting happily.

Why were they having such a pleasant conversation? It was because Lou Suyi had a sickeningly sweet smile on her face, while Jinse's expression was a bit strange.

"I didn't expect Miss Lou to get together with Jinse so quickly," Ji Qing blurted out.

Jinse knew the imperial entourage was coming as soon as Murong Gang appeared, but she deliberately lured Lou Suyi into saying some inappropriate things.

"Since the nun is His Majesty's savior, His Majesty must grant her every request, right?"

Just now, Lou Suyi revealed that she had saved Murong.

Lou Suyi was thinking about the five thousand taels of silver notes that Murong had confiscated. She had been tricked into entering the palace and had even been seduced by Murong. Just thinking about it made her angry.

She couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Your Majesty's method of repaying a life-saving debt is quite unique."

He claimed to have saved her life and should repay her with his body, yet he brazenly took her virginity as if no one cared about his body.

"How did His Majesty repay the nun for saving his life?" Jinse's curiosity was piqued.

Lou Suyi looked at Jinse, feigning incomprehension: "His Majesty's way of repaying is unique and cannot be explained."

"Is that so?" Murong's voice suddenly rang out. Lou Suying was almost startled. Hesitating, she turned around and saw Murong standing silently behind her, not knowing how long he had been standing there.

Judging from his ambiguous smile, it was clear that he had overheard her conversation with Jinse about repaying her for saving her life.

Seeing Lou Suying cower like a quail, Jinse assumed that Lou Suying was guilty because she had angered the Emperor. She was secretly pleased and pretended to defend Lou Suying: "Your Majesty, please don't blame the nun. The nun didn't mean to speak ill of Your Majesty. She's just a straightforward person..."

As she was speaking, she noticed that Lou Suying and His Majesty were both looking at her with strange expressions.

Murong glanced at Jinse, who lowered her head in fright, belatedly realizing she might have said something wrong.

Lou Suyi glanced at Murong discreetly. Murong looked her up and down, then seemed somewhat disgusted: "Jiqing, have Jinshu come over."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ji Qing understood that this was to have Jin Shu serve the Fourth Miss, in order to prevent her from being bullied by the servants of Qianqing Palace.

However, he felt that His Majesty should guard against the Fourth Miss bullying the other servants.

Before long, Jinshu arrived and took Lou Suyi to the bathhouse to bathe, and then escorted her to the Emperor's presence.

When Lou Suyi passed by Jinse, she felt that Jinse looked at her as if she wanted to devour her.

What's going on? Could Jinse be jealous that she has to serve at the Emperor's court so late?
She looked around and found that Jiqing and Jinshu had left, and Jinse, who had been waiting outside Hanzhang, had also been taken away by Jiqing.

Jinse was very unhappy and questioned Jiqing, "How can you leave Abbess Kongchen alone to serve the Emperor? What kind of image is it for a nun to be left alone to serve the Emperor?"

Isn't Ji Qing afraid that Lou Suyi will be restless and take the opportunity to climb into the emperor's bed?

Ji Qing frowned at Jinse: "When did it become your place, a mere servant, to interfere in His Majesty's affairs?"

Jinse never expected Jiqing to reprimand her. Jiqing had always been kind to her, and when she first started working for the emperor, he kept a close eye on her.

In fact, she was brought up by Ji Qing.

She used to work in the laundry department, and it was Jiqing who pulled her out of the mire, which is why she is now a favorite of the emperor.

“Jiqing, you never used to scold me like this.” Jinse’s eyes reddened.

Ji Qing, however, kept a straight face and said in a deep voice, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You'd better keep it well hidden. I've said all I have to say. You can decide for yourself."

He said that and walked away.

Only Jinse remained, her face deathly pale...

Inside Hanzhang's room, Lou Suying finished serving the brush and ink. Seeing that Murong was about to rest, she was about to ask if she could leave when Murong beckoned to her: "Come here."

Lou Suyi panicked a little and looked at Murong warily.

Murong softened his tone: "Help me undress."

Lou Suyi strongly resisted: "I'm not His Majesty's personal maid."

Why did he need her to help him undress?
Seeing that she was not cooperating, Murong had no choice but to walk slowly toward her. Unexpectedly, the Fourth Miss Lou suddenly took off running and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He sighed and held his forehead, trying to suppress his laughter for a moment, but finally couldn't help but burst out laughing...
