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

Chapter 91 Personally handing her over to the emperor
Murong's act of acting first and reporting later certainly shocked Empress Dowager Chen.

She had a series of plans to divert the emperor's attention from Lady Liang, but the emperor's actions were too swift and unexpected.

"No matter what method we use, we cannot let Lady Liang serve the emperor tonight!" Empress Dowager Chen slammed her fist down, making the table rattle.

Fang Ruo was speechless for a moment. How could they possibly control such a thing?

His Majesty has already bestowed the title upon Liang Wanying, and tonight is their wedding night. It's only natural that he would favor her, right?
"Given the Emperor's temperament, if he doesn't summon Lady Liang to bed tonight, she'll have fewer opportunities to serve him in the future." Empress Dowager Chen made her decision without much hesitation. "Send Su Yi to the Qianqing Palace to accompany the Emperor later!"

Inside Xianfu Palace, Lou Suyi was sweating profusely from the heat. She looked at Jinshu with a wistful gaze and said, "I'm so hot."

Why can't we give her some rock sugar water?
"Young lady, you must not get too cold," Jinshu gently comforted her.

The main reason was that Imperial Physician Liu had instructed that the young lady was already prone to feeling cold and was pregnant, so she should avoid eating anything with ice in it.

Lou Suying had read medical books and knew that she shouldn't eat ice in her current condition, but she was really hot, even though Jinshu was fanning her the whole time.

What worries her most is whether Empress Dowager Chen will come to see her again today after Liang Wanying is officially appointed.

Just as she was feeling anxious from the heat, Empress Dowager Chen and her servants suddenly arrived.

Upon seeing the master and servant pair, she felt even more anxious.

Whenever Liang Wanying made a move, Empress Dowager Chen would definitely come looking for her. She had just been worried about Empress Dowager Chen, and sure enough, the mistress and servant came knocking on her door.

Seeing Empress Dowager Chen's kind smile, her heart sank to the bottom.

Empress Dowager Chen affectionately held Lou Suyi's hand, squeezed her soft, boneless palm, and became more and more satisfied with the squeeze: "You are a blessed child."

Lou Suyi smiled ingratiatingly: "Your Majesty flatters me."

Empress Dowager Chen took a closer look at Lou Suyi's radiant face and remembered that this nun had saved Murong's life back then. Wasn't she Murong's benefactor?

She didn't mince words and told Lou Suyi her purpose: "Recently, the emperor has not been eating well and has not been sleeping well. Since he trusts you, I would like you to supervise the emperor from a nearby place."

Lou Suyi was prepared this time. She obediently replied, "It's not that this humble nun is unwilling, but that His Majesty is unwilling to see this humble nun. Last time, this humble nun wanted to see His Majesty, but His Majesty blocked her at the door, and she was unable to see His Majesty's countenance. This humble nun is afraid that she does not have the fortune to supervise His Majesty's food, clothing, and shelter."

Empress Dowager Chen's smile grew even warmer upon hearing this: "I will accompany you later; the Emperor will not dare to refuse to see you."

Lou Suyi forced a smile: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs. Would it be disturbing to go there now?"

Empress Dowager Chen could see Lou Suying's resistance, and tonight she could only hope that the nun would help her slap Liang Shi in the face: "Political affairs are never-ending, and one must rest when it is time to rest. The emperor is the ruler of the country, and even if he does not think of himself, he must consider the people."

And so, Empress Dowager Chen affectionately pulled Lou Suyi toward the Qianqing Palace, not giving Lou Suyi a chance to say "no".

When Ji Qing saw Empress Dowager Chen and Lou Suyi, he immediately and warmly welcomed the two noble ladies into the Imperial Study.

Murong, who was reviewing memorials, looked up and saw Empress Dowager Chen, with the little nun following behind her.

He gave a slight smile: "Why has Mother come?"

"I was worried that Your Majesty would be too preoccupied with state affairs and harm your health, so I summoned Su Yi and asked her to make sure you eat and go to bed on time." As she spoke, Empress Dowager Chen pushed Lou Su Yi in front of Murong.

Murong was facing Lou Suyi's face, and Lou Suyi smiled awkwardly.

At this point, Empress Dowager Chen added fuel to the fire, saying, "Speaking of which, the Emperor and Su Yi were childhood sweethearts. Su Yi saved the Emperor back then, which is a life-saving grace, and he should repay her with his life..."

As if she had said something she shouldn't have, Empress Dowager Chen stopped herself in time. She coughed twice and then instructed Lou Suying solemnly, "Suying, you must help me keep a close watch on the Emperor. You can't let him out of your sight, or I'll hand the Emperor over to you."

Lou Suyi was speechless, watching helplessly as Empress Dowager Chen walked away, her brows furrowing in a frown.

She couldn't let Murong out of her sight. Did she expect to stand by and watch when he wanted to favor Consort Hui?
The thought of that scene sent a chill down her spine.

She peeked outside and, after confirming that Empress Dowager Chen had left, she wanted to find a place to sit down.

But no sooner had her bottom touched the stool than Empress Dowager Chen suddenly turned back, and she immediately stood up straight, looking very respectful.

Empress Dowager Chen walked up to Murong and solemnly instructed, "Your Majesty, do not mistreat Su Yi, and do not send her away!"

Murong glanced at the little nun standing straight beside him and thought to himself, "Isn't it just that I chased the little nun away last time?"
"My son understands," he replied.

Seeing that Murong agreed, Empress Dowager Chen left satisfied.

The moment they stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, Fangruo whispered, "It seems His Majesty doesn't object to Miss Lou. It looks like Her Majesty was right to send Miss Lou there."

"I should have seen it sooner: the Emperor has feelings for Su Yi. Given his personality, if he didn't want to see Su Yi, would he have let her stay?" Empress Dowager Chen said with satisfaction, suddenly feeling that Su Yi had a bright future.

Lou Suying, who had a promising future, stood there for a while, and when she was sure that Empress Dowager Chen would not be coming back, she sat down with a thud.

Just then, Murong looked over, and she met his scrutinizing gaze. She said irritably, "I'll just sit for a while and won't disturb His Majesty's handling of state affairs."

She's pregnant, after all, and can't afford to be overworked.

However, Qianqing Palace is much cooler and more comfortable than Xianfu Palace.

Just as she closed her eyes, feeling comfortable enough to fall asleep, Murong appeared in front of her, looking her up and down with an air of superiority.

She felt incredibly pressured and immediately sat up straight: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Murong was still scrutinizing her, his unfathomable gaze making her heart leap into her throat: "What's wrong?"

“You seem a little different from before.” As Murong said this, his gaze fell on Lou Suyi’s chest.

Lou Suying looked down and immediately blushed: "Where is Your Majesty looking?"

The emperor, who always looked so abstinent, was actually staring straight at her chest? How shameless!

Murong suddenly struck, his hand landing squarely on her chest.

Her face flushed red instantly, and she was about to explode when the man said calmly, "It's too big."

Lou Suyi: !!!

Seeing the little nun's expression of utter shock, a hint of a smile flashed in Murong's eyes.

Lou Suying, enraged and embarrassed, puffed out her chest and shouted, "It's always been big!"

Lou Suying blushed even more when she realized what she had said.

Murong looked at her blushing face, his eyes darkened, and he kissed her rosy cheek, his voice gentle with a smile: "Yes, it's very big."
