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

Chapter 469 Drained by Murong
The moment Consort De stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She committed such a heinous act, yet Murong didn't punish her, which shows that Emperor Murong was enlightened. Or perhaps, Murong cared about Lou Suyi, which is why he didn't punish her?
Or does she still have a chance if she leaves the palace?

He's just a man who doesn't love her. Although she's love-struck, she doesn't want to waste all her youth on a man who doesn't love her.

If they could regain their freedom, they would certainly do their best to fight for it. The next step is to see if Murong can go to such lengths for Lou Suyi.

That night, at Xianfu Palace.

Lou Suyi felt that Murong was acting strangely today, glancing at her from time to time, as if she had something on her mind.

She wanted to see how long Murong could hold it in, but Murong didn't utter a single word until she went to bed.

This situation is the complete opposite of yesterday's.

"What's wrong with His Majesty?" Lou Suyi's curiosity was piqued tonight.

Murong patted her head, his eyes gentle as water: "It's nothing."

Lou Suyi saw the loving look in his eyes and thought to herself, "It would be strange if nothing happened."

"Has His Majesty done something to wrong me?" Lou Suyi thought it was unlikely, but his eyes seemed to convey that message.

"Don't overthink it." Murong felt that he had let her down.

She encountered many traps after entering the palace, but she was clever enough to avoid them time and time again.

Lou Suyi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't change his mind, everything else was negotiable.

If a man's heart changes and he finds a new love, not even eight oxen could pull him back. She has a personality that can't stand being wronged, so she will definitely break up with him.

"Alright, Your Majesty, if you don't want to talk, then talk. I'll listen when you're ready. Your Majesty should go to sleep early..."

Before Lou Suyi could finish speaking, Murong bit her lip hard.

He really bit her. She's not meat, why did he bite her so hard?

Lou Suyi felt quite romantic, and actually quite enjoyed the rough kiss. Of course, it would have been even better if he hadn't been so rough in bed.

In the end, she was so exhausted that she couldn't even move her fingers. Just as she was about to push away the man on top of her, he came again...

Did this man take aphrodisiacs?

Lou Suyi wanted to cry but had no tears, and in the end, she cried herself to sleep.

The consequence of excessive indulgence was that she couldn't get out of bed the next day. After finally managing to get out, her whole body ached.

Damn emperor, he was the one who put in the effort, so why is it that she is the one suffering?

Yesterday, Murong must have taken the wrong medicine; he practically dismantled her body and reassembled it.

Seeing that her master was uncomfortable, Jinshu specially prepared a hot bath to help her master relax.

When Yan Hui saw the marks on her master's body, she secretly clicked her tongue in amazement. How much must His Majesty love the Empress to have tormented her like this?

Lou Suyi looked over, and Yan Hui immediately rebuked her indignantly, "Your Majesty is too inconsiderate! The Empress is delicate and cannot withstand such treatment!"

Lou Suyi was speechless, but don't think she couldn't see Yan Hui secretly rejoicing.

She's been through so much trouble with Murong, yet Yan Hui can still laugh?
"His Majesty loves the Empress too much," Yan Hui added softly.

The more she stirs things up, the more it shows how much His Majesty loves the Empress, which is a good thing.

Lou Suyi laughed in exasperation: "Don't read storybooks anymore, they'll affect your intelligence."

Yan Hui could no longer laugh, while Jin Shu smiled and said, "That's right, it should have been quit a long time ago."

Lou Suying took a medicinal bath to relax her body before going to her study to handle palace affairs. She was holding Xiao Xiao'er in her arms; the child's features bore a resemblance to hers, but his face shape resembled Murong's. As his features matured, he became increasingly beautiful, making her want to kiss him. The little prince also wanted Lou Suying to hold him, but he knew his mother only had two hands. With her younger brother on her lap and busy, he did errands for her.

Lou Suyi's heart melted when she saw how sensible the child was.

Suddenly she remembered what Consort De had mentioned to her, but the thought was fleeting and she put it aside.

"By the way, where is Consort Ning currently being held?" Lou Suying asked after finishing her work, realizing it was already afternoon.

"Your Majesty, Consort Ning is currently imprisoned in the Third Northern Prison. Does Your Majesty wish to interrogate Consort Ning today?" Jinshu asked.

Lou Suyi stretched and felt sore all over.

"No rush, let her wait a few days. I need to catch up on sleep later, I won't be able to see her today. Send some spoiled food from the North Third Institute, and limit her drinking water to three sips or less. I need to wear down her spirit first," Lou Suyi said calmly. "By the way, we also need to keep a close eye on her and not let our guard down, after all, she has accomplices."

Jinshu accepted the order and went to carry out the task.

After giving her instructions, Lou Suying went to rest for lunch. Her body had indeed been drained by Murong and she needed to recuperate properly.

So what was wrong with Murong last night? He suddenly seemed to have been injected with adrenaline.

She couldn't even last one night. Would he do this every night from now on?

Just thinking about it made Lou Suyi feel aches and pains in her back.

Lost in her thoughts, Lou Suyi quickly fell asleep.

She woke up suddenly, feeling someone watching her. Sure enough, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Murong's face.

This face is very beautiful, but it's also quite scary.

She struggled to her feet: "Is Your Majesty finished with your work? If not, you should get back to business. After spending those days at the Mulan Hunting Grounds, Your Majesty must have accumulated a lot of official business to attend to."

She practically kicked him out outright.

Murong looked at her calmly and pinched her nose: "Does the Empress want to send me away?"

Lou Suying forced a smile: "What do you mean? I was just worried about interfering with His Majesty's important business."

She gets back pain and stiffness just looking at his face; she's terrified of him.

"I only came over after I finished my work. Last night..." Murong suddenly looked at Lou Suying's legs, "Was I hurt?"

Lou Suyi blushed instantly.

He still has the nerve to mention last night? Does he even know how much he went too far?
"Your Majesty, either go back to Qianqing Palace tonight, or sleep in the room next door. I won't entertain you here," Lou Suyi stated her position righteously and firmly.

Murong certainly couldn't agree to her unreasonable request, but he wouldn't argue with her at this point.

Lou Suyi thought he had agreed when she saw that he didn't object, and her mood immediately brightened.

Murong knew why she was happy, but he didn't expose her.

That night, Murong put the two children to sleep, handed them over to the servants, and then put his arm around Lou Suyi's shoulder and went back to his bedroom to rest.

Lou Suyi sensed something was wrong: "Your Majesty, please go and rest..."

"Weren't we just about to rest?" Murong replied calmly, pulling Lou Suyi towards the bedside.

Lou Suying's last remaining illusion vanished: "Didn't His Majesty promise me that he wouldn't sleep with me tonight?"

If he gets aroused again, her body really can't take it.
