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

Chapter 7: Immoral Paintings!

The sudden appearance of the erotic folding document caught Murong off guard. Once he came to his senses, he quickly closed the document and demanded in a deep voice, "Who ordered the guards to create this indecent painting?!"

Ji Qing was surprised by Murong's outburst. He hadn't read the memorial and didn't know what it depicted. Just as he was about to peek inside, Murong coldly swept his gaze over: "What kind of secret guards did you hire? How dare you spy on Lou Si while he's bathing!"

Ji Qing was taken aback, then immediately understood and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, the secret guards are women."

Actually, he had his bodyguards paint Lou Suyi in a more erotic style.

Although the new emperor didn't show it very obviously, he felt that the new emperor was somewhat interested in Lou Suyi. He just didn't know if this interest was romantic or simply amusement.

Regardless, he wanted the new emperor to know that Lou Suying was a beauty of unparalleled grace, no less stunning than the concubines in the harem.

Murong's expression softened slightly, but he put the memorial aside and did not look at its contents again.

After the court session, Murong instructed, "Send some rewards to Consort Li. You should go there personally."

"Yes, I will do it right away." Ji Qing accepted the order and left.

Because Consort Li failed to win the Emperor's favor yesterday, the news had already spread throughout the palace. Everyone thought that Consort Li would fall out of favor and were laughing at her for not winning the Emperor's favor even with the Empress Dowager's support. However, Ji Qing personally brought gifts to Xihe Palace.

This is the new emperor's attitude. Although Consort Li failed to serve him in bed, the new emperor still values ​​her; otherwise, he wouldn't have given her a reward to appease her.

The undercurrents among the concubines in the harem are self-evident.

In contrast, the Lotus Nunnery was much calmer.

After staying in the abbot's meditation room for two days, Lou Suyi returned to her own residence. She specially prepared dry food and water and asked the abbess to lock the door from the outside to create the illusion that no one was living there.

Xie Zhijie searched for two whole days without finding anyone, and finally remembered that he had missed looking for one place, which was the abbot's meditation room.

He went specifically to the abbot's meditation room, but found nothing.

The person had not been found, and with Qi Yan spending all his time outside the nun's quarters, he became even more eager to find the nun who had teased him and see who she was that had captivated him so much.

Xie Zhijie spent all his time at the Lotus Nunnery, and didn't even go home, which made Lou Suya uneasy.

Since she and Xie Zhijie got married, the couple treated each other with respect, but there was no real tenderness or affection between them.

To outsiders, they seemed like a loving couple, but only she knew that Xie Zhijie hadn't even stepped into her room in the past two years, and she was now living like a widow.

She knew that Xie Zhijie was blaming her.

Five years ago, she realized that Xie Zhijie, though seemingly indifferent to Lou Suyi, actually harbored feelings for her.

Why did Xie Zhijie choose her? Simply because she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Suning, while Lou Suying was a concubine's daughter.

Xie Zhijie wasn't as virtuous and upright as he appeared. He craved power and ultimately abandoned the person he truly loved for it. Such a person would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, yet she was hopelessly in love with this man, even though she knew his feelings for her were far less than his feelings for Lou Suyi…

"Madam, I've found out. These past few days, Master Xie has been lingering at the Lotus Nunnery, supposedly looking for a nun who practices Buddhism while still keeping her hair. He's practically turned the entire nunnery upside down. Not only Master Xie, but even Marquis Dingyuan is looking for this nun." Yu Ping, Lou Suya's dowry maid, reported this news immediately after finding out about Xie Zhijie.

Lou Suya's eyes turned slightly cold: "I want to see what kind of stunning beauty makes my husband linger. I'll pack up and go to the Lotus Temple to offer incense. I'll stay there for the night and try not to disturb my husband."

"This servant will go prepare immediately," Yu Ping replied and left.

With everything prepared, Lou Suya headed to the Lotus Nunnery. After donating incense money, the abbot arranged a well-lit room for her to rest. During this time, she saw Qi Yan standing guard outside a locked room, while Xie Zhijie was nowhere to be seen. She heard from Yu Ping that her good husband was so eager to search the Lotus Nunnery that he wanted to turn it upside down just to find a nun.

She couldn't help but develop a strong interest in this nun.

As darkness fell, Qi Yan reluctantly left the Lotus Nunnery, and Xie Zhijie had no choice but to leave as well.

After finishing her vegetarian meal, Lou Suya stood in a secluded corner until midnight before deciding to leave.

Just then, she saw the abbot sneaking out and unlocking the dormitory room.

Seeing this, she suddenly realized that the nun Xie Zhijie and Qi Yan were looking for was actually right under their noses. If she hadn't waited until this hour, she wouldn't have known this fact.

The abbess specially delivered vegetarian food to Lou Suyi, because she felt that if Lou Suyi continued to hide like this, she would eventually be found by Xie Zhijie or Qi Yan.

Lou Suyi just smiled and didn't say anything.

She saw the abbot out of his room, and just as she was about to enter her own room, she suddenly sensed something amiss behind her.

She turned around and saw Lou Suya emerge from the shadows.

Lou Suya's face was pale, her legs were weak, and her teeth were chattering: "Fourth...Fourth Sister?"

How is that possible? Lou Suyi has been dead for five years, so how could she reappear alive?

It couldn't be Lou Suyi; she witnessed Lou Suyi fall into the fire that year.

Lou Suying hadn't intended to avoid Xie Zhijie and Qi Yan, but she was caught red-handed by Lou Suya, whose elder sister had once been her rival in love...

"It's been many years, I hope you're doing well, sister." In fact, Lou Suyi and Lou Suya were not close.

Lou Suyi's cry of "Sister!" caused Lou Suya's vision to go black, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, it was dark at night, and Lou Suyi couldn't see her losing her composure.

She pinched herself hard, telling herself to calm down.

Xie Zhijie is still looking for Lou Suyi. She wants to get Lou Suyi out of the Lotus Nunnery before Xie Zhijie finds her. She must not let Xie Zhijie find Lou Suyi!
"Didn't my sister fall into a sea of ​​fire back then? How come she's perfectly fine?" Lou Suya quickly regained her composure and subtly scrutinized Lou Suyi.

The more she looked at Lou Suyi, the more alarmed she became.

Five years have passed, and Lou Suyi looks exactly the same as she did back then, still appearing to be sixteen years old.

"Perhaps it is divine protection that I am safe and sound," Lou Suying replied with a smile. "Would you like to come in and sit for a while, elder sister?"

Lou Suya was somewhat intimidated by Lou Suyi. She suspected that Lou Suyi was an evil spirit, otherwise how could she have reappeared after being dead for five years? Moreover, her appearance had not changed.

Yu Ping was also afraid of Lou Suyi, but the two encouraged each other and bravely entered Lou Suyi's room.

Lou Suyi was already hungry and was busy eating.

At this moment, Lou Suya had calmed down. She only had one thought in mind: to hide Lou Suyi so that Xie Zhijie would never find her. "Cultivation is austere. Why don't I arrange a good place for my sister? I have an estate in the suburbs. My sister can live there. It's better than suffering in the nunnery."
