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

Chapter 65: She felt disgusted sleeping with the same man as Lou Suyue.

Compared to Lou Suyue's enthusiasm, Lou Suyi was much more indifferent: "It's alright. Does Lady Lou have something to discuss with this humble nun?"

Lou Suyue seemed oblivious to Lou Suyi's cold demeanor and smiled gently: "Fourth sister is my sister, can't I visit her if there's nothing wrong?"

Lou Suyi naturally knew why Lou Suyue had come. It was just that Lou Suyue worked in the imperial court, and Lou Suyue thought that associating with her would allow her to get closer to Murong. But the problem was that she and Lou Suyue had never had any relationship.

"This humble nun is serving before the Emperor and cannot slack off or be lazy. Otherwise, if His Majesty blames me, I will not be able to bear the consequences. If there is nothing else, this humble nun will take her leave." Lou Suyi was too lazy to deal with Lou Suyue and wanted to return to Qianqing Palace.

"Fourth Sister, please wait." Lou Suyue really didn't expect Lou Suyi to be so cold.

Like her elder sister, she looked down on Lou Suyi, the concubine's daughter, and never gave her a second glance. Even though Lou Suyi had saved Murong back then, the Third Prince was the least noticeable prince at that time.

Who could have imagined that Lou Suyi would return five years after her death? Despite having shaved her head and become a nun, she entered the palace and was able to serve in front of the emperor.

Although she had been granted a title and was already a concubine, she had no relatives or friends in the palace. With no other option, she had to take the initiative to befriend Lou Suyi, hoping to get closer to the Emperor through Lou Suyi.

This is clearly a good thing for the Lou family, and Lou Suyi is related to her by blood, yet she is treated so coldly. Isn't Lou Suyi afraid that her mother will blame her?

She was displeased, but had no other choice but to take the initiative to befriend Lou Suyi.

How could Lou Suyi not know what Lou Suyue was thinking?

"Lord Lou, please speak plainly. This humble nun cannot linger here any longer," Lou Suying said coldly.

Lou Suyue had never suffered such humiliation in her life. No matter how unhappy she was, she had to force herself to smile: "Fourth Sister, since we are both in the palace, we can look after each other in the future. Fourth Sister, could you take me to Qianqing Palace for a visit in the future?"

Lou Suyi took two steps back and replied slowly, "Qianqing Palace is His Majesty's residence and political office combined. How could a nun like me have the ability to lead Consort Lou around Qianqing Palace? Consort Lou thinks too highly of me. I really cannot stay too long. I take my leave."

Without giving Lou Suyue a chance to speak, she quickly passed through the Moonflower Gate.

Lou Suyue was anxious and wanted to catch up, but Lou Suyi was walking too fast and she couldn't catch up at all.

She could only watch helplessly as Lou Suyi walked away, yet she could not trespass into the Qianqing Palace.

The smile on her face faded.

Since Lou Suying wouldn't listen to her, she would have no choice but to ask her parents or Aunt Ke to intervene. She refused to believe that Lou Suying could disobey her parents. And if all else failed, there was always Aunt Ke at her beck and call.

When Lou Suyi returned to the Imperial Study, Murong glanced at her and reached out to take her hand.

Startled, she immediately moved away from him and subconsciously looked around, only to find that after she entered, all the servants who had been attending to the emperor had withdrawn, including Ji Qing.

However, there were other people waiting outside the Imperial Study, including Ji Qing.

She whispered to Murong, "Your Majesty, could you please restrain yourselves? Your Majesty and I have a secret relationship. How can we be so intimate in broad daylight? If someone sees us, we won't be able to explain ourselves no matter what."

Murong Liaoran: "I didn't realize you liked excitement."

Having perhaps become accustomed to the emperor's lewd behavior in bed, Lou Suying was not intimidated by him at all and suggested, "Your Majesty, how about I go back to Xianfu Palace?"

Lou Suyue failed to achieve her goal today, and this will surely alarm the Suning Marquis's Mansion.

She wasn't afraid of the Earl of Suning and his wife, nor was she afraid to see Consort Ke, but she wanted a peaceful life and didn't want to have any more contact with the Lou family. She didn't even want to see Consort Ke, her own mother, because she knew that if Consort Ke came looking for her, it would definitely be for the Earl of Suning.

After all, in Aunt Ke's heart, her daughter could never compare to that philandering scoundrel, the Earl of Suning.

"It was the Empress Dowager who made you stay by my side, not because I was unwilling to let you go to Xianfu Palace. If you can persuade the Empress Dowager, I have no objection." Seeing Lou Suyi standing so far away, Murong waved to her, "Suyi, come a little closer, I won't eat you."

Upon hearing this, Lou Suyi immediately moved away from the emperor.

Seeing her fidgeting, Murong asked calmly, "What, do you want to try serving the emperor in the imperial study?"

Lou Suyi immediately understood the threat in the emperor's words. She went to Murong's side listlessly, worried that he would lay a hand on her, and even more afraid that someone would suddenly break in and see her having an affair with Murong.

Murong pulled Lou Suyi's hand over and squeezed her palm: "Poor thing, you seem to have lost weight."

Lou Suyi looked at Murong with resentment: "Since you feel sorry for me, can't you treat me better?"

"I'm very busy, don't seduce me." Murong pinched Lou Suyi's thin face again before quickly immersing himself in state affairs.

Lou Suyi laughed in anger. Seducing him? In her current physical condition, how could she dare to seduce him?
Lou Suyue wanted to seduce Murong, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance.

If she didn't dislike the Lou family so much, she really wouldn't mind pairing Murong and Lou Suyue together.

However, the thought of sleeping with the same man as Lou Suyue made her feel truly disgusted.

If one day Murong really does favor Lou Suyue...

She shuddered at the thought of what might happen.

After lunch, Fang Ruo came to invite Lou Suyi to go to Shou'an Palace.

Lou Suyi felt uneasy, worried that Empress Dowager Chen might have discovered her affair with Murong.

After bowing to Empress Dowager Chen, she stepped aside.

This time, Empress Dowager Chen scrutinized her closely, which made her uneasy. Could it be? Had Empress Dowager Chen really discovered that she and the Emperor had slept together?
"Su Yi, come here and let me take a good look at you," Empress Dowager Chen said softly.

Lou Suyi was terrified. She walked timidly to Empress Dowager Chen.

Empress Dowager Chen lifted her chin and looked her over carefully: "Poor child, how come you've lost so much weight?"

Lou Suyi was inwardly groaning. She had to ask her good son why he had treated her so badly and acted so cruelly.

"Fangruo, look at Suyi, hasn't she lost weight? She seems even more beautiful now." Empress Dowager Chen looked intently at Lou Suyi.

The young nun was indeed more beautiful than when she first entered the palace, seemingly possessing a subtle yet alluring charm. Although she wore the simplest black robes, her elegance was undeniable, truly a sight to behold.

Fangruo looked closely at Lou Suyi and found it hard to look away: "Your Majesty, the Fourth Miss has indeed lost a lot of weight, but she is also extremely beautiful."

The two, mistress and servant, exchanged a glance and suddenly realized that Lou Suying was a perfect candidate to deal with Consort Liang. Although Consort Liang was also a woman of exceptional beauty, Lou Suying was in no way inferior. Moreover, Lou Suying had another advantage: the emperor did not dislike her.
