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

Chapter 70 She will give the child all her love.

Jinshu was the first to notice that Lou Suying's mood was off. She was usually a lively and active person, but for the past two days she had been staring blankly ahead, sitting motionless all day, as if she had a lot on her mind.

"What's wrong with the young lady?" Yan Hui also noticed Lou Suyi's unusual behavior.

"Could it be that she misses His Majesty?" Jinshu frowned slightly.

"Should we inform His Majesty about the young lady's current situation?" Yan Hui was also at a loss.

“Jili goes to Qianqing Palace every day, so we don’t need to interfere.” After a pause, Jinshu added, “Let’s observe him further.”

Two palace maids were whispering when Lou Suyi let out a long, melancholy sigh.

Jili also noticed something was wrong. The three of them stood together, staring blankly at Lou Suyi, until Lou Suyi looked up and saw the three of them staring at her dumbfounded.

She got up casually and said, "I'm going to take a nap. Don't bother me."

Lost in her own thoughts, she almost forgot that Murong's spies were right in front of her.

If those three people found out she might be pregnant, they would definitely report it to Murong. Besides, she wasn't sure about the situation yet; perhaps she was overthinking it.

With that thought, she suddenly perked up again.

The three people outside were whispering to each other when Lou Suyi came out excitedly: "You three don't need to fawn over me. Just do what you're supposed to do. I'm a grown man, I can take care of myself!"

The three of them were immediately relieved.

Miss Lou is perfectly fine, and even seems a bit excited; she doesn't look like she has anything on her mind.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Lou Suyi yawned wearily as she listened to Yan Hui and Jin Shu excitedly talking about how the imperial procession would be going to Yiyuan the next day, where they could also watch the dragon boat races.

The two palace maids were chatting enthusiastically when they turned around and saw that the Fourth Miss Lou was asleep, leaning against the armchair.

The two looked at each other, speechless.

They deliberately brought up the dragon boat race because they knew the young lady liked excitement and hoped she could apologize to His Majesty and then go out of the palace with him to relax.

But their efforts were in vain; the girl seemed to have no intention of visiting Yiyuan Garden at all.

Afraid of disturbing Lou Suyi's peaceful dream, the two walked a little further away before continuing their previous conversation.

"Is the young lady angry with His Majesty? Usually, the young lady loves lively gatherings, but lately she has been acting out of character, doing nothing but eating and sleeping. Could it be that the young lady is tired of life?" It was Yan Hui who spoke.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you hear the girl herself say that the happiest days are when she's lazy, good-for-nothing, and just lying around? Maybe she just finds those days comfortable." Jinshu said, sounding a little confused.

"When Jili returns later, ask him about the situation at Qianqing Palace." Yan Hui had just finished speaking when Jili returned.

Jinshu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Did His Majesty mention you, Miss? Will he take you to Yi Garden for a stroll?"

Jili shook his head: "I didn't see His Majesty, but I asked my master, and he shook his head at me. Perhaps His Majesty is still angry with the girl."

"It's rare to have a chance to leave the palace and relax. If the young lady reacts like this, His Majesty will react the same way. There's nothing we can do about it." Yan Hui sighed, suddenly feeling a sense of dejection.

Jinshu didn't know where to begin, so she resigned herself to her fate.

But then, as evening fell, Fang Ruo suddenly appeared.

Upon seeing Fangruo, Jinshu suddenly knew there was a turning point; the Empress Dowager must want to see the young lady. "Where is Suyi?" Fangruo asked directly.

"I'll go and tell the young lady to get up right away," Yan Hui replied.

Fangruo found it strange: "Still sleeping at this hour?"

Jinshu also found it amazing, because her daughter could sleep for more than six hours a day, even more than a piglet.

"The nun said that being idle in the palace is rather boring, so it's better to sleep to pass the time," Jinshu replied with a dry laugh.

Fangruo chuckled, thinking that Lou Suying was a kind-hearted person, and she liked her personality very much. She thought that the Empress Dowager would like her too.

Lou Suying quickly came out to see Fang Ruo. She was wearing the simplest black robe, yet she still possessed extraordinary charm and natural allure.

Recently, because I've been resting well, I can eat and sleep well, and my little face has gotten a bit fuller. My skin is fair with a pinkish tinge, like a pink dumpling, and my big eyes look like they've been filled with water, which is very captivating.

Fang Ru thought to herself, "This Miss Lou is truly beautiful. It's a pity she's a nun. Otherwise, if she were given to His Majesty, even a man as aloof as His Majesty would probably be tempted by worldly desires."

"What brings Aunt Fangruo here?" Lou Suyi asked warmly.

Fang Ru smiled gently: "This servant is here on the orders of the Empress Dowager to deliver a message that the Empress Dowager will be going to the Imperial Garden tomorrow, and she will ask you to accompany her."

Lou Suyi's smile vanished instantly.

Having finally had a few days of peace and quiet, she had no intention of showing her face in front of Murong again.

"Can this humble nun not go? Last time, because I said a few extra words to His Majesty, he was so angry that he chased me away. If it weren't for the fact that he saved my life in the past, I'm afraid I would have lost my life. This humble nun feels that it is still inappropriate for me to appear before His Majesty. What do you think, Aunt Fangruo?" Lou Suyi carefully suggested.

Fang Ruo simply smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager remembers all the good things you've done for me, Miss. Don't worry, with the Empress Dowager protecting you tomorrow, His Majesty won't do anything to you."

His Majesty may stay overnight at Yi Garden during the Dragon Boat Festival, and he has also brought Consort De and Consort Liang with him.

The Empress Dowager was only worried that Consort Liang would climb into the Emperor's bed in just one night. Consort De couldn't be with the Emperor at all times, but Lou Suying was different. Therefore, the safest way was to have Miss Lou accompany His Majesty.

Even though His Majesty was indeed furious last time, after these days, His Majesty must have calmed down.

The Empress Dowager's high regard for Lou Suying suggests that she still harbors the intention of having Lou Suying enter the Emperor's harem. However, since none of the other young ladies from the capital have been summoned to the palace, let alone allowed to serve the Emperor in bed.

If you can't even see His Majesty, how can you possibly have a chance to ascend to the throne?

Lou Suying still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but Fang Ruo didn't give her a chance to say anything more and made a final decision: "It's settled then. Leave the palace first thing tomorrow morning and don't keep the Empress Dowager waiting."

She gave Jinshu a few more instructions and then left.

Lou Suying stood there for a moment, but wasn't too discouraged. As long as one was in the palace, one had to be mindful of the Empress Dowager's or the Emperor's mood. After all, it wasn't her choice to show off in front of Murong; it was the Empress Dowager's order, so the Emperor couldn't blame her.

On the contrary, it was her stomach...

She's been eating and sleeping well lately, but occasionally she feels uncomfortable when she smells unusual odors, leading her to seriously suspect that she might actually be pregnant.

Her period hasn't started yet, although her menstrual cycle has always been unpredictable.

Unsure if she was pregnant, she secretly threw away all the medicine that Imperial Physician Liu brought her. If she was indeed pregnant, she very much wanted to give birth.

She lived a lonely life, unloved by her own parents. If she had children, she would definitely give them all her love...

My daughter is actually a child who lacks love.
