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

Chapter 85 Pregnancy Shows
Murong's eyes were as deep and dark as the night as he stared intently at Lou Suyi.

Lou Suying's heart pounded, but she forced a smile and said, "If Your Majesty stays in Xianfu Palace, it will affect Your Majesty's reputation. I absolutely cannot allow Your Majesty's reputation to be damaged!"

"It seems you care about me a lot." Murong's thin lips curved slightly.

"Of course, no one cares about His Majesty more than I do!" Lou Suyi's beautiful words came out naturally.

At this moment, Murong felt that every feature of Lou Suyi was to his liking, and he lost his appetite. He went forward, picked up the little nun who was speaking sweet words to him, and carried her to his bedroom.

Lou Suyi felt that the current style was a bit off, but it seemed to coincide with her beauty scheme.

She immediately kissed him, and Murong was quite pleased: "It seems you truly love me to death. Fine, I'll grant you..."

He quickly stripped Lou Suyi of her black robe, revealing her plump and fair body.

Lou Suyi was momentarily confused and infatuated, but she wasn't completely out of her mind. She quickly remembered that she was pregnant and it was not advisable to have sex.

She pushed away the emperor, who was groping her, breathlessly: "No, Your Majesty did not agree to my request to go to Yi Garden, you cannot touch me!"

Murong bit her lip hard, making her gasp in pain, and he took the opportunity to kiss her even deeper.

He quickly remembered that she was pregnant, which seemed to make sexual intercourse inappropriate.

He pinched the soft flesh around her waist; the little nun was well-fed.

Finally, he suppressed his desire, got out of bed, and was still breathing heavily.

Lou Suyi watched as the young emperor smoothed out the wrinkles on his dragon robe. He looked so dignified, yet he was doing something utterly uncivilized.

She inwardly scoffed at him, then heard Murong ask, "You really don't want me to move in with you?"

"I don't want to!" Lou Suyi replied resolutely.

Murong said no more: "Fine, you've thought it through. I'll move here later."

Lou Suyi thought to herself that this day would never come. Watching Murong walk away with elegant steps, she lay on the bed for a while. Suddenly, she remembered that her plan was to get Murong to agree to let her leave the palace. How did she end up in bed with him for no reason?

She didn't panic when she didn't achieve her goal that day. She thought that next time Murong came, she would find a way to wear him down.

Who knew that after this incident, Murong never visited Xianfu Palace again.

She had never longed for a man like this before. She waited for him day and night, but Murong never came back.

Before she knew it, it was July. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she was sweating even when she was sitting down.

Although her pregnancy is not obvious yet, time flies, and it is likely that her pregnancy will start to show in another half month or so.

This made her very anxious and restless, and she even lost the mood to eavesdrop on the interesting stories in the harem.

Just as she was sighing and lamenting, Fang Ruo, who hadn't shown her face in a long time, arrived.

Upon seeing her, Fangruo looked her over in surprise.

Lou Suyi was terrified, fearing that Fang Ruo would discover her pregnant belly.

"W-What's wrong?" she asked cautiously, feeling guilty.

Fang Ruo carefully examined Lou Suyi before saying, "Miss has gained weight recently."

She used to be very slender, but now she is perfectly proportioned and stunningly beautiful, making it impossible to look away.

Lou Suyi felt a little relieved when Fangruo said she had gained weight: "Granny Fan's cooking skills are excellent, it's me who has gotten fat." Fangruo nodded approvingly, then remembered that she had important business to attend to, so she said to Lou Suyi: "Please come with me to see the Empress Dowager, Miss."

Lou Suyi knew that it wouldn't be anything good as soon as she heard that she was to see Empress Dowager Chen.

Whenever Empress Dowager Chen needed to find someone to deal with Consort Liang, she would always think of this pitiful woman first.

"Can this humble nun not go?" Lou Suyi asked with a bitter face.

Fangruo coughed twice before replying, "This is the Empress Dowager's order; this servant cannot make that decision."

In fact, the Empress Dowager knew that finding Miss Lou was not a permanent solution, but at present, she could not think of any other better candidates, so she could only hope that Miss Lou could persuade His Majesty.

Although Lou Suyi knew that Empress Dowager Chen had come to her to deal with Consort Liang, she did not expect it to be such a troublesome matter.

"Absolutely not! How could this humble nun possibly interfere in His Majesty's harem affairs? His Majesty's decision on who to appoint as a concubine is entirely his own; how could this humble nun possibly advise His Majesty to change his mind?" Lou Suyi's face drained of color after hearing Empress Dowager Chen's words; she was truly frightened.

"Suyi, I had no other choice but to ask you to persuade him. You have a past relationship with the Emperor, so he might listen to you. Why don't you try to change his mind?" Empress Dowager Chen gripped Lou Suyi's hand tightly. "If you can do it, I will grant you whatever you want!"

Lou Suyi's heart stirred upon hearing this: "Then this humble nun may give it a try."

Anyway, there's no harm in just opening your mouth.

But if she succeeds, she can ask Empress Dowager Chen to let her leave the palace, which may be her way out.

When Empress Dowager Chen saw that Lou Suying had agreed, she immediately smiled kindly at her: "Then go ahead."

Lou Suying didn't delay and went to Qianqing Palace accompanied by Jinshu.

She never expected to run into Qi Yan on her way to Qianqing Palace.

Qi Yan saw her and excitedly stepped forward to greet her: "Su Yi."

Lou Suyi took a few steps back imperceptibly: "May I ask what your orders are, Lord Marquis?"

Qi Yan noticed her evasive gesture and his eyes darkened slightly: "How have you been lately? If you want to leave the palace, you can tell me, and I will definitely take you away."

Lou Suyi replied calmly, "This humble nun is well. Thank you for your concern, Lord Marquis. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Qi Yan, seemingly oblivious to Lou Suying's cold demeanor, stepped forward and blocked her path: "Could you talk to me for a while?"

Lou Suying looked at Qi Yan coldly, and Qi Yan was stung by her icy gaze: "Don't look at me like that. I know I failed to keep my promise, and I'm sorry to you..."

"The past cannot be retrieved. Lord Marquis is moving forward, and so is this humble nun. It's impossible to say who has wronged whom. If Lord Marquis truly cares for this humble nun, then from now on, treat this humble nun as a stranger. That would be the greatest respect you can show her." Lou Suying said, brushing past Qi Yan.

Seeing that Lou Suying was in low spirits, Jinshu asked softly, "Are you alright, Miss?"

“It just reminded me of some things from the past. Qi Yan treated me very well back then, and most of my memories with him are beautiful. But now, whenever I see Marquis Dingyuan, I feel tired.” Lou Suyi took a deep breath. “Forget it, let’s not talk about people from the past.”

She quickly entered the Qianqing Palace. When Jiqing saw her, his expression was somewhat strange. He blocked her way and whispered, "Fourth Miss, please wait a moment."

She immediately understood: "Is someone in the Imperial Study?"

At this moment, the voice of Consort Liang, with a coquettish tone, came from the Imperial Study: "Your Majesty..."

Hearing that sweet, delicate voice, Lou Suyi shivered.

No way, Murong and Consort Liang were engaging in lewd acts in the Imperial Study in broad daylight?
