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

Chapter 68 Forcing her to help Lou Suyue!

Others felt some sympathy for Lou Suyi after hearing her words, but Consort De had long witnessed how quickly Lou Suyi could change her expression.

You can't believe a single word a nun says.

However, it is a fact that Lou Suyi was expelled from Qianqing Palace. As long as Murong despises this dead nun, she will not be able to cause any trouble in the harem.

She then decided to test the waters: "Since the nun wishes to leave the palace, why don't I plead with His Majesty to allow her to leave the palace?"

Lou Suyi's eyes lit up: "Then I'll have to trouble Consort De."

The emperor is furious, and with Consort De acting as an intermediary, he might just let her leave the palace.

Seeing that Lou Suyi's joy seemed genuine, Consort De immediately made a plan: "When I meet the Emperor, I will request that he allow you to leave the palace."

"Thank you for your help, Consort De. I await your good news." Lou Suying nodded repeatedly.

Lou Suyue saw that Lou Suyi was in a hurry to leave the palace, but she was actually unwilling.

However, there were many people present, so she couldn't speak freely.

Consort De originally came to see Lou Suyi make a fool of herself, but since Lou Suyi wanted to leave the palace, she felt that as long as the annoying nun was driven out of the palace, there was no need to cause any more trouble.

She made some sarcastic remarks to Lou Suyi, but Lou Suyi deftly deflected them, ultimately winning without bloodshed and suffering no harm.

Consort De sat for a while, then, feeling bored, got up and left.

As soon as Consort De left, Lady Wu immediately came to Lou Suyi and said, "During the days when the abbess was serving in front of the emperor, I originally wanted to go and talk to her, but I was a little afraid of the Qianqing Palace, so I didn't go in the end."

Lou Suyi smiled slightly: "Don't mention it. There's no freedom at all when serving in front of the Emperor. I have to watch His Majesty's mood all day long. It's much more comfortable in Xianfu Palace. But with Consort De helping me, I believe I will leave the palace soon."

Murong is very angry today. If Consort De adds fuel to the fire, it's not impossible for her to leave the palace.

When Consort Wu heard that Lou Suying was leaving the palace, she looked reluctant: "If the nun really leaves the palace, I won't even have anyone to talk to."

Lou Suyi thought to herself that she hadn't said more than a few words to Wu Meiren; most of the time, it was Wu Meiren who kept talking.

"Your Excellency is so innocent and adorable, everyone loves you. This humble nun is but a passerby, and will leave the palace sooner or later," Lou Suyi replied politely.

Consort Luo secretly observed Lou Suyi for a long time. She had known Lou Suyue since they were outside the palace, and she had also met Lou Suyi five years ago.

Seeing that Lou Suying was treating the newcomers to the palace coldly, she was naturally not very happy.

"Why didn't the nun greet us when she saw us? Su Yue is the nun's sister. Is it appropriate for the nun to ignore her?" Consort Luo spoke up for Lou Su Yue.

Lou Suyue gently tugged at Luo Xuanshi's sleeve: "Sister, you mustn't be rude to my fourth sister. Fourth sister is His Majesty's honored guest, and we should all treat her with respect."

Wu Meiren seemed to only then notice Lou Suyue, and curiously looked her over: "Is Lou Cairen the nun's younger sister? I think the nun looks a bit younger than Lou Cairen."

Lou Suyue was not pleased by her words, but she didn't show it on her face. "This shows that my fourth sister has a way of preserving her youth. When she was at home, my fourth sister was the most beautiful. Although she has now become a nun, she is still stunningly beautiful," Lou Suyue replied with a smile.

Wu Meiren blurted out, "That's true. The nun is exceptionally beautiful, no less so than any of the concubines in the harem..."

As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Lou Suyi.

Wu Meiren realized she had misspoke and slapped herself: "Look at my mouth, I'm just spouting nonsense. What I meant was that the nun's appearance is outstanding, even in the harem where beauties abound... Never mind, I'd better not say it anymore."

Fearing she might say something wrong again, she simply got up, said goodbye, and left.

As soon as Consort Wu left, Lou Suyue took the initiative to get closer to Lou Suyi: "Since Fourth Sister has entered the palace, why is there such a hurry to leave? The palace has good food and lodging, so why don't you stay here for a while?"

Lou Suyi didn't want to pretend anymore: "The inner palace is not a place for a nun like me to stay for long."

Consort Qiao disagreed, saying, "No matter what, Abbess is Su Yue's older sister. Now that Su Yue has entered the palace, shouldn't Abbess help Su Yue a little?"

Her father was merely a fifth-rank official, the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, and had no background in the palace. Her friendship with Lou Suyue stemmed from the fact that Lou Suyue's father was the Earl of Suning. Furthermore, Lou Suyue's eldest sister, Lou Suya, was married to Xie Zhijie, a Grand Secretary of the Inner Cabinet, and her friendship with Lou Suyue was entirely beneficial to her.

Lou Suyi said "Amitabha" and said, "Since I am a nun, I am no longer a person of the mortal world. What does Lou Cairen's matter have to do with me?"

Becoming a monk is truly wonderful; it provides an excuse to distance myself from the hypocritical Lou family.

Consort Qiao originally thought she was on the moral high ground, but Lou Suyi's words left her speechless.

Seeing that Consort Qiao had been rebuked, Consort Luo quickly chimed in, "Even if the nun has become a nun, she and Su Yue are still blood-related sisters. How can she sever ties with Su Yue? As a nun, the nun should be compassionate. How can she be so cold-blooded?"

If Lou Suyi weren't trying to maintain her image as a nun, she would have loved to kill all three of them.

However, since she is a nun, her manners must be good: "I am a nun, and whether you are related by blood or not, you are all people in this world. I live outside this world, so how can I talk about being cold-blooded or not? If the three of you have any opinions about me, you might as well go and be ordained as nuns, and then we can discuss whether I am cold-blooded or not."

Luo Xuanshi had not expected Lou Suyi to be so quick-witted and sharp-tongued, and was once again rendered speechless.

"Fourth Sister's words make sense. It's a favor if Fourth Sister is willing to help me, and it's also understandable if she's not willing to help me. However, Aunt Ke must hope that Fourth Sister and I have a deep sisterly bond." Lou Suyue brought up Aunt Ke again.

"To be honest, before I was ordained, there was no sisterly affection between me and Consort Lou. If I remember correctly, when I was in the Lou family, Consort Lou always looked down on me." Lou Suying said calmly.

They really don't know what's good for them. When they wanted to step on her to climb up the social ladder, they told her about their sisterly bond. But back in the Lou family, when everyone in the Lou family was isolating her, why didn't anyone tell her about their sisterly bond?
Lou Suyue was surprised by Lou Suyi's bluntness, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Consort Luo knew about this matter. Back then, she was also on Lou Suyue's side and couldn't stand the charming Lou Suyue.

However, many years have passed, and she has forgotten many things.

Consort Qiao hadn't expected this turn of events. Seeing Lou Suyue's somewhat unpleasant expression, she knew that what Lou Suyue said was true.

But so what?
Lou Suying saved His Majesty's life, and now that she has value, she should be put to their use.
