Chapter 20: Taking the Four Girls into the Palace
"I will ask His Majesty for permission to take care of Su Yi for the rest of his life." Xie Zhijie said firmly.
Lou Suya's palms were slightly cold, and she was about to cry: "You and I have been married for four years, have you ever considered my feelings?"
Xie Zhijie remained silent.
Seeing him like this, Lou Suya knew that he had made up his mind.
"What if I don't agree?" Lou Suya still held on to her last hope.
The light inside the carriage was dim, and Xie Zhijie looked at the elegant and resentful eyes upstairs. He curled his lips sarcastically: "The person least qualified to object is my wife."
Lou Suya was startled: "What do you mean, husband?"
"I'm just letting you know. Su Yi will definitely enter the door of my Xie family. I owed her back then, and the same goes for Madam. Also, don't touch Su Yi. If something happens to Su Yi, I will blame Madam. ." After Xie Zhijie finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lou Suya clenched her fists and did not dare to say anything.
She suddenly remembered that Xie Zhijie had not even entered her room in the past two years. Could it be that he already knew what she was doing?
Thinking of this possibility, she felt chilled...
After the morning court the next day, Xie Zhijie knelt down in front of the new emperor: "I beg your majesty for a favor!"
Murong didn't answer, so Xie Zhijie knew that the new emperor had guessed his thoughts.
He crawled up to His Majesty and said: "The minister wants to accept Su Yi as——"
"If Aiqing is asked to choose between power and women, I wonder if Aiqing will choose the former or the latter." Murong suddenly interrupted Xie Zhijie's unfinished words.
Xie Zhijie's face turned pale, and he replied bravely: "I think you can have both!"
"You can only choose one or the other. There are not so many people in this world who have the best of both worlds! If you can give up your power for a woman, I will help you!" Murong looked at Xie Zhijie with indifferent eyes.
Xie Zhijie opened his mouth, thinking about how he had worked hard these past few years just to climb to a high position and tasted the feeling of being in power. How could he give up so easily?
Murong saw Xie Zhijie's hesitation and said calmly: "Instead of wasting your time on women, my dear, you should pay more attention to the victims of the flood in the south."
As he said this, he threw the folding paper in front of Xie Zhijie.
Xie Zhijie's thoughts have been on Lou Suyi recently, and he has no idea that there is a flood in the south.
Afterwards, he discussed with Murong a plan to control floods, and the idea of taking Lou Suyi as his concubine could only be put aside for the time being.
There is no way for Xinhuang to get through here, but he doesn't want to give up Lou Suyi. Maybe he could find someone to kidnap Lou Suyi, and then he would show up at the right time, and when the rice was cooked, Suyi would have to be his woman, no matter how unwilling she was.
After Xie Zhijie left, Murong went to the harem for a walk, had lunch at Concubine Ning's place, and then came out.
Ji Qing couldn't guess what his master was thinking. Thinking of the concubine who was still thinking behind closed doors, he carefully probed: "Not far ahead is the Changqiu Palace. Does your Majesty want to sit down for a while?"
Murong glanced at the direction of the Changqiu Palace: "The concubine is shutting up and thinking about her past. This is the mother's decree. If I go, where will the mother's face be lost?"
Ji Qing fell silent.
Yes, I mean I won’t go. As long as His Majesty is willing, it is not just a matter of saying a word to release the virtuous concubine? It is said that De's concubine is the master's favorite concubine, but this love is not necessarily deep, and it is not as much as His Majesty's interest in Lou Suyi.
At least His Majesty still asked Lou Suyi to sleep with him, but in the past few years, His Majesty has never stayed overnight in the courtyard of the concubine.
In fact, when De Concubine first entered the master's backyard, the master treated De Concubine quite gently. However, the government was in turmoil at that time, and the master and De Concubine spent less time together and more separation. I don’t know what happened later, but the master was no longer so close to the concubine...
Your Majesty is already twenty-two this year and is still innocent. I don’t know which concubine he will take advantage of in the end.
Yes, Master Xie wanted to ask Your Majesty for Miss Lou Si again today, but His Majesty blocked Master Xie's mouth before he could finish his words. Does this mean that the master is still possessive of Lou Si?
But Lou Si has already become a monk, so Your Majesty will not have the idea of becoming a monk, right?
That night, Ji Qing was tempted to put some information on the secret guard in a conspicuous place.
When Murong came out of the bath, he saw the secret guard's cover at a glance. He turned a blind eye and just picked up the military book and read it.
Ji Qing saw that his master didn't let him take it away, so he confiscated it too.
Just waiting for the master to calm down, maybe Lou Suyi's words can relieve the master's boredom.
After Lou Suyi was officially ordained and became a monk, she did live a few days of freedom and ease. At least Qi Yan and Xie Zhijie no longer bothered her. As for the big shot in the palace, he has countless beauties in the harem. Even if he really thought about letting her into the palace, now that she has become a monk, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not force her to do anything.

She suddenly felt that the days of hard training were also very interesting. She chanted and copied sutras every day, and her soul seemed to be purified. She even felt that she was becoming more and more like a person who has attained enlightenment.
That day, someone asked her to answer a question, and she answered it eloquently. After hearing this, the person gave her a piece of silver as a thank you: "Master Tai is indeed an enlightened bhikshuni. What he said made me enlightened."
"Amitabha, the donor is so complimentary." Lou Suyi forced down the raised corners of her lips.
She felt that if one day she couldn't survive in Lianhua Temple, she might try to cheat, which might make others think that she was a profound person.
She didn't expect that when she returned to the dormitory and was about to put away the windfall, she suddenly heard the wind behind her.
Her heart froze, and she was about to turn around to see what was going on, but the back of her neck went numb and she fell to the ground.
She shook her groggy head, trying to see clearly what the person who came looked like, but at this moment, another man in black appeared and knocked down the thief who sneaked up on her in a few strokes.
By the time she crawled back to the bed to catch her breath, the house had returned to its usual calm, and she was the only one left, as if the sneak attack just now was just her illusion.
The person who attacked just now seemed to want to kidnap her. Could it be that he was from Xie Zhijie? If nothing unexpected happened, the person who suddenly appeared to save her might be the person sent by Qi Yan to protect her, right?
She didn't know that the person who suddenly came to save her was the secret guard sent by Murong.
When the secret guard saw Lou Suyi being attacked, he felt that the matter was serious and immediately sent a message to the palace.
When Ji Qing saw that the secret guard suddenly sent a note to the palace, he guessed what had happened.
He thought for a while and handed it to his master: "This is an urgent report sent to the palace by the secret guards. It should be something happened."
The next moment, Murong took the paper. When he saw Lou Suyi being attacked, his eyes darkened and he threw the paper to Ji Qing.
Ji Qing's eyes lit up after reading the content, and he suddenly felt that an opportunity had come: "The fourth girl is your majesty's savior after all. If you are in danger now, why don't you order someone to take the fourth girl into the palace?"
