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

Chapter 88 Ignoring her after sleeping with her!

As soon as Jiqing left, Jinse went into Hanzhang Room.

She walked silently to the dragon bed, looked at the most noble man in the world through the curtain, gritted her teeth, and lifted the curtain.

Just then, the new emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her coldly: "What is it?!"

It wasn't a particularly intimidating gaze, yet it sent chills down Jinse's spine.

She wanted to say that she could serve the emperor, but she still didn't have the courage to speak: "This servant came in to serve Jiqing."

Murong closed his eyes and coldly ordered, "Step back!"

Jinse was unwilling to let such a golden opportunity slip away, but she never had the courage to do so, so she simply agreed and left Hanzhang Room.

The following day, an uninvited guest indeed arrived at Xianfu Palace; it was none other than Consort Liang.

Jinshu recited the explanation she had prepared earlier: "Your Highness, Master Kongchen is unwell today and is afraid of passing on his illness to Your Highness, so he dares not come to see you."

"Kong Chen is ill?" Consort Liang's eyes flickered slightly.

What a coincidence that Lou Suyi fell ill as soon as she arrived?
"That's right." Jinshu dared not say more.

"Now that I'm here, I should go and see. As His Majesty's guest, it wouldn't be good if something happened and His Majesty blamed me," said Consort Liang, before heading towards her bedchamber.

Jinshu secretly groaned. If Consort Liang went in like this, would she see the marks His Majesty left on the young lady?

She couldn't stop it, otherwise it would only make Consort Liang more suspicious.

She followed behind Consort Liang, reminding her, "Your Highness, with your noble bearing, I fear you might catch a cold..."

Consort Liang glanced back at her and replied with a faint smile, "It's alright, Kong Chen's health is the most important thing."

Jinshu couldn't say anything more.

But even if something is discovered, it doesn't matter, right? After all, the girl's pregnancy will soon be impossible to hide, and people will soon find out that His Majesty and the girl have an improper relationship.

On the contrary, it would allow the girl to enter His Majesty's harem and receive the status she deserves.

While Jinshu was lost in thought, Consort Liang had already entered her bedroom.

Consort Liang noticed that the bed curtains were lowered, obscuring the view of the bed.

Jinshu then spoke first, "This servant will go and wake the master."

She stepped forward, lifted the curtain, and was about to speak when she noticed Lou Suyi winking at her.

She immediately understood and whispered to Lou Suyi, "Master, wake up. The Imperial Concubine has come to visit you."

Lou Suyi replied vaguely, "This humble nun will rise now, lest we neglect our distinguished guest..."

Consort Liang hesitated whether to go forward and see what was going on, but then she saw Lou Suyi get off the bed.

She was still dressed in a nun's robe and wearing a monk's hat, but her face looked haggard and her lips were very dry.

At first glance, he seemed a little listless.

At this moment, Lou Suying coughed several times and bowed to her, saying, "This humble nun is feeling unwell today. Please forgive this humble nun for her lack of proper etiquette, Your Highness."

She coughed a few more times as she spoke, then looked at Jinshu and said, "Go and properly entertain the Imperial Concubine. Once I have made the arrangements, I will go out to meet the guests."

Jinshu quickly agreed.

When the young lady got up just now, she was clearly already dressed, so she must have expected that Consort Liang might barge in.

After examining Lou Suying, Consort Liang saw nothing amiss. Still fearing she might catch his illness, she said, "Since you are unwell, I will not disturb you. Please rest well, and I will visit you again next time." "Yes, Your Highness," Lou Suying replied politely.

Consort Liang then hurriedly left the bedroom, afraid that if she walked too slowly, she would catch the illness.

Lou Suyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was exhausted. After seeing Jinshu off, she lay back on the bed, touching her still barely noticeable belly and sighing.

Given what happened last night, the child was fine and just burned incense and prayed to Buddha. By the time Murong comes to ask her to serve him in bed again, her belly will probably be quite big.

Even if she manages to hide it for a while, how could Murong not see her pregnant belly?
Two more peaceful days passed. Lou Suying, not wanting to sit idly by and wait for her fate, took the initiative to go to Qianqing Palace, wanting to discuss with Murong again the matter of letting her live in Yiyuan.

When Murong heard that Lou Suyi had arrived, and remembered that Jili had said that Lou Suyi had been staring blankly at her stomach these past few days, he knew why the little nun had come.

"I won't see her. Tell her to go back to Xianfu Palace and stay there," Murong ordered calmly.

Lou Suyi never expected that she wouldn't even be able to see Murong.

"This humble nun has urgent business to discuss with Your Majesty..."

Before she could even speak, Jinse said gleefully, "Master, you'd better hurry back. His Majesty is a very busy man; when will he ever have time to see you?"

Just because she saved His Majesty's life, does Lou Suyi think she has become special enough in His Majesty's heart?
Lou Suying ignored Jinse and said to Jiqing, "Jiqing, I really have something important to discuss with His Majesty..."

"I'll escort Master back to Xianfu Palace," Ji Qing said to Lou Suyi with a kind smile.

Jinse was furious at Jiqing's obsequious manner: "If you're going to serve His Majesty, why do you have to personally escort the nun?"

Ji Qing glared at Jinse: "Shut up!"

Jinse was surprised that Jiqing would reprimand her. Meanwhile, Jiqing smiled apologetically at Lou Suyi and said, "His Majesty said that he will visit Xianfu Palace when he has time. Please return first, Master."

Lou Suyi was extremely frustrated: "But I have something important to discuss with His Majesty."

Her pregnant belly is almost impossible to hide, how can she not run away?
Are we supposed to wait until the entire harem discovers her growing belly and finds out that she and Murong have been having an affair all along?

She felt suffocated just thinking about that scene.

Murong slept with her just two days ago. So, he only sleeps with her when he thinks of her, but ignores her when he feels she's superfluous? What a scumbag emperor!
“But His Majesty truly has urgent business and cannot spare the time to see the Master,” Ji Qing replied innocently.

Lou Suyi really wanted to rush up to Murong and confront him, but she was powerless and couldn't see the scumbag.

Enough of that. Murong avoided seeing her and went to see Empress Dowager Chen instead.

She devised a plan to trick Empress Dowager Chen into going to Yiyuan Garden to escape the summer heat, and she would follow along, then figure out a way to escape.

"I don't need you to take me, I'll go back myself!" Recalling Murong's scumbag behavior, Lou Suying also felt disgusted with Ji Qing.

Ji Qing forced a smile: "His Majesty ordered this servant to escort the master back..."

"This humble nun is going to take a stroll in the Imperial Garden. What are you going to do there?" Lou Suyi glared at Jiqing and, accompanied by Jinshu, left Qianqing Palace and headed towards Shou'an Palace.

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, Lou Suying explained her purpose: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. This humble nun would like to accompany Her Majesty the Empress Dowager to Yi Garden to escape the heat. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Jinshu's brow twitched slightly.

The girl thought she had a chance to escape with His Majesty's child; how naive she was.

"I cannot leave the palace for the time being, as I need to manage the affairs of the inner palace for the Emperor. If I leave the palace, Lady Liang will no longer be able to restrain me in this inner palace. Su Yi, I appreciate your kindness, but I really cannot leave." Empress Dowager Chen patted Lou Su Yi's hand.
