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

Chapter 84 Sitting on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck...

"Since they don't understand the rules, we'll teach them properly until they do." Consort Liang didn't even look at Lou Suyue.

Lou Suyue was slapped several times, and her face was swollen beyond recognition.

She then realized that Consort Liang had treated her so cruelly out of jealousy and hatred because she had served her in the Qianqing Palace for several hours the day before.

In reality, as soon as Consort Tao left, Ji Qing summoned her away, and she didn't even have the chance to serve in front of the emperor.

It was only because of her vanity that she failed to clarify the situation immediately, which led to this undeserved disaster.

Not far away, there were quite a few people watching Lou Suyue's joke.

Originally, everyone was a widow in the harem, standing on the same level, but Lou Suyue had the momentum to rise in rank, and this special case naturally aroused everyone's jealousy.

Tao Zhaoyi saw Lou Suyue being punished from afar, and her eyes flickered slightly.

Consort Liang makes no attempt to hide her jealous nature. Even before entering the new emperor's harem, she's already eliminating rivals, eager to get rid of any concubine who has gained even a little power. Consort Lou hasn't even served the emperor yet; if she did, wouldn't Consort Liang kill her?

This time, Consort Liang did not punish Lou Suyue by making her kneel. After seeing that Lou Suyue had been beaten black and blue, she led her entourage away.

Tao Zhaoyi then stepped forward and helped Lou Suyue up: "Are you alright, sister?"

Lou Suyue's tears, which she had been holding back for so long, finally streamed down her face: "Your Highness the Empress Dowager is going too far!"

"Who told her to be the Dowager Consort? Last time, the Dowager Consort also punished me by making me kneel for several hours. She really doesn't respect the Tao family at all," said Consort Tao indignantly.

Lou Suyue wiped away her tears and said coldly, "One day I will avenge today's humiliation!"

The farce in the Imperial Garden was treated as a joke by everyone, but the news also reached Xianfu Palace.

Two palace maids were whispering to each other, while Lou Suyi eavesdropped. When she learned that Lou Suyue had been beaten black and blue by Consort Liang's men for staying in Qianqing Palace for only a few hours, she couldn't help but click her tongue in surprise.

Last time, because Murong dined in the palace where Consort Tao lived, Consort Liang took the opportunity to punish Consort Tao, which shows how possessive Consort Liang was of Murong.

If Consort Liang were to discover that she was pregnant with the emperor's child one day, would she kill her directly?

She touched her stomach, wondering how things could continue like this.

As the weather gets hotter, she is particularly sensitive to heat because of her pregnancy. When her belly gets bigger and she wears light clothing, people will surely notice something is wrong.
Lou Suying used to be carefree; in her eyes, there wasn't much difference between living in the palace and living in the Lotus Nunnery. But becoming pregnant changed everything. The women in the palace were like wolves and tigers, capable of anything to win the emperor's favor.

Tao Zhaoyi was forced to kneel for a single meal, and Lou Suyue was beaten after spending only a few hours in Qianqing Palace. Now that she's pregnant, wouldn't Consort Liang skin her alive?

"Jinshu, go and invite His Majesty over. I have something to discuss with him." The next day, Lou Suying had breakfast and was still pondering this matter, feeling that she could not sit idly by and wait for death.

Jinshu knew that His Majesty was interested in Chonglou's plain clothes, so she dared not be negligent and hurriedly went to Qianqing Palace.

Jiqing thought his master would go to Xianfu Palace immediately, but his master continued reading memorials and did not go to Xianfu Palace until nearly noon.

Murong, however, understood Lou Suyi well. He knew that the little nun's visit to him was definitely not for anything good; she was probably just making a scene about leaving the palace again.

As soon as he entered Xianfu Palace, he saw Lou Suying walking towards him with a bright smile: "Your Majesty, please come in. Knowing that Your Majesty was coming, Granny Fan prepared many of Your Majesty's favorite dishes."

Looking at the little nun's excessively bright smile, Murong raised her eyebrows.

This is probably a classic case of "unsolicited kindness is either a lie or a thief."

Lou Suying saw that Murong's face was ashen, and he had the air of an old scholar, so she almost couldn't laugh. "You look like a brothel madam." Just as Lou Suying was thinking this to herself, Murong suddenly spoke up.

Lou Suyi was momentarily at a loss for words to control her expression. What kind of ridiculous analogy was this? Was the madam of the brothel as pretty as her?
Well, she needs his help, so she has to lower herself.

After the dishes were served, seeing that Murong seemed to be enjoying his meal, she said seriously, "Your Majesty, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I would like to go to Yi Garden to cool off. If Your Majesty is worried that I might run away, would it be alright if Jinshu and Yan Hui went with me?"

Running away is definitely an option, but it's certainly easier to escape from Yiyuan than from the Palace.

Even when she's sleeping, one of Jinshu or Yan Hui will always be there to watch over her; it goes without saying that they're there at other times as well.

"No!" Murong refused decisively.

She's dreaming of running away with his child; she's really dreaming.

"Why not? I'm just going to escape the heat. Can't Your Majesty be a little more lenient with me? It's so hot in the palace. Can I go back after summer?" Lou Suyi looked at Murong expectantly.

"No!" Murong Dan glanced at Lou Suyi.

Lou Suyi clenched her fists, wanting to punch this emperor brat in the face.

However, violence won't work. He's the emperor. Last time I slapped him, it was good enough that he didn't chop off her head.

Ignoring Ji Qing's presence, she stood up and walked to Murong, asking in a gentle tone, "What would it take for Your Majesty to grant me this small request?"

Murong stared at Lou Suyi for a long time before saying, "Your saliva has sprayed on my face."

Lou Suyi turned her back, screaming inwardly several times before managing to restrain herself from striking the emperor's face.

After calming down, she sat directly on Murong's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.

This scene stunned Ji Qing. At this moment, Lou Suyi looked over, and he immediately understood: "This servant takes her leave."

Murong looked at the little nun sitting on his lap. The little nun was fair and tender, like a pink dumpling. He suddenly thought that if he had a daughter, someone like her would be nice.

Lou Suyi decided to use her beauty again, pouting her pink lips as she was about to kiss him, but Murong dodged in time, and her kiss landed on his face.

The next moment, Murong placed the little nun who was sitting on his lap on a rose chair beside him, and did not forget to remind her: "Focus on your meal and don't get distracted."

Lou Suyi was momentarily at a loss for words to control her expression. The emperor was unmoved by her words, so would she have to return empty-handed today?

"If you desire me, I may stay overnight at Xianfu Palace tonight," Murong's voice rang out again.

Lou Suyi blinked, and after a while said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

If Murong were to stay overnight at Xianfu Palace, then things would be truly uncertain.

She probably doesn't know she's pregnant with the emperor's child yet, but people already know about her affair with Murong. She can't afford to lose both her wife and her army.

Fortunately, Murong didn't pursue the matter further. After lunch, he suddenly said, "I plan to stay at Xianfu Palace for the time being..."

Lou Suying was startled upon hearing this and stood up, shouting, "No!!"
