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

Chapter 75 Abandoning Su Yi, leaving her to fend for herself.

After Yan Hui took away the alkaline rice dumpling, Lou Suyi took a while to suppress her nausea and vomiting.

If only there were some sour plums, they could help calm the churning discomfort in my heart.

"Suyi, you don't look well. Is something wrong?" Empress Dowager Chen's concerned voice came again.

Lou Suyi quickly shook her head: "This humble nun is fine, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

She was afraid that if she said she was feeling unwell, Empress Dowager Chen would send someone to take her pulse, and then she would be exposed.

Empress Dowager Chen still thought Lou Suyi looked pale, but seeing the little nun eating with her head down, she figured she was probably overthinking it.

On this side, Consort Liang, without any attempt to conceal her identity in front of everyone, loudly proclaimed, "This concubine toasts Your Majesty."

When Empress Dowager Chen heard Consort Liang shamelessly refer to herself as "this concubine" to Murong, she found Consort Liang utterly disgusting.

She desperately wished for a capable woman to come along, someone who could steal her son's attention and outshine that vile woman, Liang.

But neither the old men from Murong's former residence nor the newly arrived ladies-in-waiting could win Murong's favor.

She truly didn't know what kind of stunning beauty could possibly capture the emperor's heart.

Surely the son doesn't have some special fetish. First he became interested in eunuchs, then he wanted to take Lady Liang into the harem. Surely only handsome men can catch the emperor's eye next?

Empress Dowager Chen's head throbbed more and more as she thought about it, and she immediately lost her appetite.

Lou Suyi had barely survived lunch when she heard that Murong was going to shoot willows with his ministers.

She had recently developed a habit of taking afternoon naps, and coupled with the fact that pregnant women tend to be sleepy, she yawned repeatedly.

Just then, Empress Dowager Chen ordered her to follow Murong, because Consort Liang was following closely behind Murong, clearly indicating that she was to sabotage Consort Liang's attempt to seduce the young emperor.

Lou Suyi said in a low voice, "Consort De is also accompanying the emperor. It would be inappropriate for this humble nun to go over there."

She desperately wanted Empress Dowager Chen to take pity on her and let her go.

Empress Dowager Chen laughed and said, "You haven't seen the Emperor shoot willows yet, have you? Why don't you go and broaden your horizons?"

Lou Suying could not avoid it in the end, and under the supervision of Empress Dowager Chen, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

When Murong came out in a new outfit, Lou Suying's gaze lingered.

This was the first time she had seen Murong dressed so smartly, which made his cold and stern features, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his upright posture like a pine tree stand tall.

It has to be said that this man's looks and physique were top-notch, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Just as she was eyeing the mature man's body, Murong's gaze swept over and met her focused eyes.

She felt a little uncomfortable; she had been completely mesmerized. But seeing the reactions of Consort De and Consort Liang, who were clearly even more infatuated than she was, she straightened her back and realized it wasn't her fault, but rather the fault of that seductive male vixen, Murong.

At this moment, Murong took a long stride and leaped onto the horse's back. Her agile figure almost made Consort De whistle.

Murong's sexual allure is simply too strong; every movement he makes is full of power. Add to that his handsome looks and excellent physique, and it would be amazing to sleep with him...

Thinking of that scene, Consort De suddenly felt a little hot.

Qi Yan then mounted his horse and subconsciously looked at Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi avoided his gaze, causing his eyes to darken. He had previously only felt that there was a distance between him and Suyi that was the distance between life and death, but now he realized that the cruelest thing was that she was so close to him, yet he could no longer get close to her.

He spurred his horse's flanks, channeling all his frustration into power, and fired several arrows, all of which struck the willow branch squarely, drawing cheers from the crowd.

When it was Murong's turn, he also shot several arrows in quick succession, hitting the target every time, and the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

Lou Suyi couldn't help but applaud, thinking that Murong was really handsome at this moment.

She had always thought Murong was a weak and scholarly young nobleman, but today she realized that she had been shortsighted; the emperor was clearly a man of both literary and martial talents.

If she is carrying a boy, will he be as capable as Murong in the future?
Thinking of this possibility, she looked down at her flat stomach and suddenly looked forward to giving birth to a boy who would grow up to be a spirited and handsome young man like Murong.

It wasn't that she disliked girls, but she felt that the world was especially difficult for women, and she hoped that her children could have a peaceful and smooth life, unlike her who was looked down upon.

Yan Hui sensed that Lou Suying's mood was off, so she quickly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Miss?"

Lou Suying shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I just feel that I've actually been quite lucky in my life."

She can come back to life and even conceive a child of her own.

Even though she had been abandoned by everyone, there was still a chance for her in this life, but the identity of the child's father was truly...

She looked up in a daze and saw Murong riding back.

He dismounted, and Consort Liang and Consort De immediately surrounded him, their eyes shining as they looked at Murong, unable to hide their love for him…

She shivered and suddenly came to her senses.

In any case, she could not lose herself for a man and become like Aunt Ke.

She still has a chance to leave, as long as she gets rid of Yan Hui's surveillance.

She glanced around discreetly and noticed that even Yan Hui was looking in Murong's direction. She quietly took a few steps back without Yan Hui noticing. She then disregarded everything and slipped out of the crowd, heading towards the hiding place she had already planned: the Wuliang Palace.

She figured it was because everyone was gathered around the young emperor, and there was no one in front of the Wuliang Hall. She quickly went inside and hid behind a giant Buddha statue.

Perhaps because she walked too fast, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

She sat on the floor, panting, and touched her stomach. Fortunately, the discomfort subsided quickly after she sat down to rest...

Yan Hui was distracted for a moment while watching the excitement, and when she came to her senses, she found that Lou Suyi had disappeared.

She hurriedly asked around to see if anyone had seen Lou Suyi. Everyone's attention had been focused on the dazzling new emperor, so who would have time to look at a nun?
Yan Hui was truly panicked. She hurriedly went to find Ji Qing and told him about the missing Su Yi.

Upon hearing this, Ji Qing's face turned green. He dared not delay and immediately reported to Murong that Lou Suyi had disappeared.

When Consort Liang saw Ji Qing whispering in Murong's ear, the Emperor's expression suddenly turned cold. She asked curiously, "What happened?"

Murong lowered his eyes, concealing the sinister glint within them, and calmly said, "Set off for the palace immediately!"

Everyone was stunned when he said that.

The original plan was to stay overnight at Yi Garden and return to the palace the next day. Why did they suddenly turn back to the palace?
Ji Qing was also dumbfounded. Was His Majesty abandoning the Fourth Miss and leaving her to fend for herself?

Why did he feel that His Majesty's reaction was a bit off? He thought that after His Majesty learned that Lou Suying had escaped, he would immediately order everyone to search for the Fourth Miss's whereabouts...
