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

Chapter 62 The Dog Emperor's Revenge!

Lou Suyi was indeed confused, but she was terrified; this was clearly just shock!

She composed herself, carefully considering her words to refuse without hurting the emperor's pride, lest she offend him.

"I am a nun, and I have sworn an oath to my master to dedicate the rest of my life to Buddha. I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness, but my status is truly unsuitable for entering the harem," Lou Suying replied cautiously.

Murong snorted coldly: "Is that so?"

Lou Suying nodded vigorously: "Yes! I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's favor, but this humble nun is unworthy to serve you..."

The next moment, Murong rudely shoved a piece of fish into her mouth, silencing her.

Lou Suyi subconsciously ate, then heard Murong sneer and curl his lips: "I have never seen a monk who breaks the precept against lust by eating meat. Who was it that day at Qiushui Residence, lying beneath me and enjoying myself?"

Lou Suyi looked pale and suddenly didn't know how to refute.

After all, what they said was true. Although serving the emperor was a bit tiring, she did indeed enjoy the emperor's body.

"Do you think you won't feel empty, lonely, and cold when you go back to Lotus Nunnery?" Murong said sarcastically again.

Lou Suyi also wanted to shut Murong's mean mouth with raw meat, but given his status, she didn't dare to do it.

“Amitabha Buddha, if Your Majesty were to release this humble nun from the palace now, she would certainly not feel lonely or empty. Why doesn’t Your Majesty give it a try?” Lou Suyi suggested solemnly.

Murong tossed aside her chopsticks and bowl, lightly wiping her slender fingers with a towel, and coldly stared at Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi swallowed hard, wondering if the emperor was planning to beat her up.

She took a few steps back, and fearlessly added, "Your Majesty, why don't you let this humble nun leave the palace? It's truly improper for this humble nun to be secretly mingling with Your Majesty like this..."

Seeing Murong suddenly stand up, she said proactively, "I'll leave now, Your Majesty, no need to do anything!"

After saying that, she took off running and disappeared from Murong's sight in the blink of an eye.

Jiqing, who was guarding outside, was eavesdropping on the commotion inside. After hearing the conversation between the two masters, he thought to himself that the Fourth Miss was really clueless.

His Majesty has already set up the ladder, but the Fourth Miss doesn't know how to take advantage of it and even dares to think about leaving the palace. Wouldn't that make His Majesty unhappy?
Seeing Miss Lou running away quickly, he felt that she was truly audacious. Not only did she dare to disobey His Majesty, but she also dared to run away right under His Majesty's nose. He felt sorry for His Majesty.

With so many beautiful concubines in the harem, His Majesty didn't touch any of them, only the Fourth Miss. He even wanted to give her a title, but she refused!

When Murong came out, Jiqing followed cautiously, stealing glances at his master's expression from time to time.

"Sever her from eating meat!" After a long silence, Murong issued an imperial decree.

Ji Qing clicked his tongue in surprise.

The Fourth Miss offended His Majesty in this way, yet His Majesty only deprived her of meat. This shows that in His Majesty's heart, the Fourth Miss is different from others.

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?" Ji Qing asked excitedly.

Murong looked over, and Ji Qing immediately composed himself: "The Fourth Miss is so ungrateful; she should be severely punished!"

Unfortunately, His Majesty is reluctant to part with it.

Murong glanced at Ji Qing but remained silent.

Lou Suyi was overjoyed to have temporarily escaped Murong's clutches. She wished Murong would send her back to Xianfu Palace in a fit of anger. But before she could enjoy her freedom for even a quarter of an hour, Jiqing found her and ordered her to serve the Emperor.

"Isn't His Majesty angry?" Lou Suying asked, puzzled. She had already refused to enter his harem; he should have been furious enough to throw her out of sight, even if he didn't banish her to the cold palace.

Looking at Lou Suyi's appearance, Ji Qing felt that this young lady hoped to anger His Majesty, so that she would no longer need to approach him.

No wonder His Majesty still allowed the Fourth Miss to return to the Imperial Palace; it turns out he understands her thoughts all too well.

"His Majesty has a good temper, how could he possibly be angry with a young lady?" Ji Qing said respectfully.

Lou Suyi thought to herself that this was not normal. Normally, Murong would get angry and drive her far away, instead of keeping her here.

Besides, how could that person possibly have a good temper? He always has a stern face; he's quite intimidating, though.

Lou Suying hesitated to go into the Imperial Study when she arrived. Seeing this, Ji Qing pushed her from behind. "That heartless man!"

Murong, who was reviewing memorials, heard the commotion, glanced at her, and said calmly, "Come and grind the ink."

Lou Suyi walked up to Murong as instructed. Not long after, Jili suddenly arrived and took all of her belongings, including the golden alms bowl that Empress Dowager Chen had given her.

Lou Suyi's brow twitched slightly upon seeing this scene, and she suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Why is Your Majesty taking my belongings?" She resisted the urge to snatch the golden bowl.

Murong parted his sensual thin lips and uttered the most ruthless words: "Monks do not hoard gold and silver treasures. Since you have converted to Buddhism, you should abide by the rules and regulations. I will keep these things for you for the time being, which is also for your own good."

Lou Suyi was so angry she almost laughed: "This humble nun only amassed wealth for the Lotus Nunnery. The gilding of the Buddha statues at the Lotus Nunnery requires silver. How can Your Majesty go against the Buddha?!"

"In that case, I will send all the wealth you have amassed to the Lotus Nunnery and have the abbess gild the Buddha statue. What do you say, Abbess Kongchen?" Murong revealed a seductive smile.

Lou Suyi felt that the man surnamed Mu was using his good looks to seduce her, although she had no proof.

"No, this is some wealth that I have painstakingly accumulated. I will hand it over to you personally at the time, so please don't trouble Your Majesty," Lou Suyi replied in a muffled voice.

Fortunately, Murong didn't dwell on the issue, thus letting the matter drop and putting her at ease.

After that, Murong stopped making things difficult for her, but she still felt that he was very cunning and might have some other ruthless tricks up his sleeve.

At the hour of Shen (3-5 PM), Ji Qing suddenly delivered a lot of snacks and fruits, all of which were her favorites.

While Murong was diligently reviewing memorials, she was about to sneak a piece to taste when Murong suddenly looked over: "As far as I know, monks do not eat at inappropriate times. It is already late afternoon, isn't the nun breaking her vows by doing this?"

Lou Suyi was dumbfounded.

Eating at inappropriate times means not eating after midday. This is a precept for monks, but she wasn't so strict about it at the Lotus Nunnery.

She moved her lips, looked at Murong's neck, and suddenly felt an urge to strangle him!

Seeing Lou Suying's lifeless state, Murong's previous gloom vanished, and he smiled with a pleasant expression.

When Murong had his dinner, dozens of dishes were served, each one a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

Lou Suyi turned her back and muttered to herself, "What bad luck!"
And so, she was left out of dinner. Murong ate and drank to his heart's content, while she had to serve him food. What a cold-blooded and heartless emperor!

Hehe, thank you so much for the tips, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes, my darlings!
