Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 299 Yandere Emperor × Pampered Concubine 13

Phoenix Palace

"Qiu Tong, don't pull it down any further..." Chu Yue looked at her shoulder, which was half exposed, and scolded Qiu Tong shyly.

Qiu Tong ignored her and loosened her pocket belt even more, while La Mei was also applying makeup to Chu Yue.

Chu Yue: "..."

"Your Majesty, you must have a good talk with His Majesty later." Qiu Tong was worried; His Majesty and the Empress had finally reconciled, and she was truly concerned.

Lamei also earnestly advised, "Your Majesty, you will recover. Please don't mention it in front of His Majesty."

"Okay, I've got it. Don't worry." Chu Yue said helplessly.

"Your Highness, it's alright. Let me help you out." Qiu and Lamei carefully checked her over before helping Chu Yue to the outer room.

Chu Yue tugged at her nearly empty gauze dress, feeling somewhat helpless; these two girls were practically making her stop wearing clothes altogether.

"Your Highness, we will take our leave now." Qiu Tong and La Mei helped her out and quickly withdrew.

"Um……"

The emperor, sitting on the edge of the bed, looked up when he heard the noise and said, "My beloved concubine, come here."

The two had reconciled, so he naturally stayed at Fengxian Palace. He hadn't left since bringing Chu Yue back.

"His Majesty……"

Chu Yue moved in front of the emperor, who then wrapped his arms around her waist and held her on his lap.

She wrapped her arms around the emperor's shoulders, pressed her cheek against his chest, and said, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor held the delicate and frail woman tightly in his arms, feeling both heartache and contentment.

Hearing her soft, sweet voice calling his name filled the emperor with satisfaction, but the thought of the grievances Consort Chu had suffered these past few days also made his heart ache.

"My beloved consort..." The emperor wanted to offer a word of comfort, but knowing that it would inevitably touch upon Consort Chu's painful past, he changed his tone: "My beloved consort must not distance herself from me any longer, it makes me very sad."

"it is good……"

The emperor lowered his head, his eyes filled with tenderness: "My beloved concubine."

After such a long argument, all the emperor wanted to do was hold him like this and fill the void in his heart.

"Your Majesty... I feel cold."

Qiu Tong dressed her lightly, and although the emperor was holding her, his exposed skin still felt a bit cold.

The emperor was so preoccupied with feeling sorry for her that he overlooked these things. Only after hearing her say this did he realize that Consort Chu was wearing almost nothing, with her fair and smooth skin exposed.

"You've only just recovered, why are you dressed so lightly?" The emperor frowned, his tone full of concern.

"I want to...serve His Majesty," Chu Yue murmured softly, nestled in his arms.

The emperor laid her down in his arms, holding her tightly to keep her warm, saying, "Your health is important. I won't blame you."

The Emperor couldn't think of anything else after Consort Chu had suffered such a great injustice; he only held her in his arms and felt heartbroken.

Chu Yue nestled in the emperor's arms, remaining motionless for a long time. She bit her lip and looked up. The emperor frowned slightly, and only when he saw her looking over did he meet her gaze.

Is he not going to touch her? Chu Yue lowered her eyes, feeling a sharp pain in her heart, which made her somewhat flustered.

"My beloved concubine, what's wrong?" The emperor asked, noticing her downcast eyes.

Chu Yue suppressed her discomfort: "Your Majesty, I'm fine, please don't worry..."

Her voice had changed, but it was all right. The emperor lifted her chin with one hand and noticed that her eyes were darting around and slightly red.

"Have you misunderstood again?" The Emperor felt both distressed and helpless; Consort Chu had become much more sensitive.

"I don't...it's my body that's not right..."

"Don't talk nonsense." The emperor interrupted with concern, "We agreed not to mention it."

Chu Yue shed tears of sorrow, biting her lip and remaining silent.

"I was just worried about your health, my beloved concubine. Don't overthink things." The emperor looked at Chu Yue seriously. "Otherwise, I will punish you."

"Your Majesty, please don't..." Chu Yue gently shook her head: "It will make me feel unwell."

"Then should I... pamper you, my beloved concubine?" the emperor whispered in her ear. "I'll be gentle with you."

Despite blushing, Chu Yue nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, yes..."

The emperor chuckled softly, then rolled over and covered Chu Yue with his body. Concerned for Chu Yue's health, the emperor was very gentle. After two rounds, the commotion in the hall ceased.

"My beloved concubine, I will carry you to take a bath," the emperor's hoarse, satisfied voice rang out.

Chu Yue's cheeks flushed crimson as she lay delicately on the bed, saying, "Your Majesty... please go first, I... need to rest a bit..."

"Alright, I'll carry you in a bit." Consort Chu was weak; she probably couldn't take it anymore.

After the emperor finished washing, it was quite some time before Chu Yue was carried to take a bath.

After tidying up, the emperor looked at the charming woman in his arms and asked, "My beloved concubine, are you still having wild thoughts?"

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue playfully snuggled into the emperor's arms, "Don't say it..."

"Can we go to sleep now?" Consort Chu smiled, and the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yue closed her eyes and gave a soft "hmm".

next day

When Chu Yue woke up, the emperor had already left. Qiu Tong smiled and stepped forward: "Your Majesty..."

"Naughty..." Chu Yue scolded playfully, and Qiu Tong helped her up.

Wax Plum also came over to help serve her: "Your Highness, are you alright?"

"It's alright, don't worry." Chu Yue sat in front of the dressing table and saw several red marks on her neck in the mirror. She turned her head away shyly, refusing to look any further.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty loves you." Qiu Tong chuckled softly. They were happy that His Majesty had stayed last night.

"You naughty girl..." Chu Yue scolded playfully before speaking with a slightly serious tone, "Qiu Tong, when you're brewing the medicine, add some more of the medicine for conditioning your body."

"Your Majesty... what's wrong...?"

"I don't know if my body can recover, so please increase the dosage of the medicine..." Chu Yue instructed again, "Don't tell His Majesty, just keep a close eye on it yourself."

"Your Majesty, the imperial physicians prescribed the medicine based on your physical condition. If the dosage is increased, how can your body withstand it?" Qiu Tong said worriedly, "If His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid he will be furious."

"Just be careful. Anyway, you have to drink tonics every day. I'll take care of His Majesty."

"Your Majesty..." Qiu Tong's joy vanished, leaving only heartache.

Lamei looked at Chuyue with concern: "Your Majesty, you have suffered so much..." She choked up as she finished speaking.

"Alright, be careful in the meantime. Go and brew the medicine in a bit, so that His Majesty doesn't come over before I've had it."

Qiu Tong wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes and held back her tears before leaving.

"Your Highness, this servant will help you change your clothes." Lamei helped Chuyue up.

"Um……"

At lunchtime, the emperor arrived. Several medicinal dishes had appeared on the table. The emperor frowned slightly: "What's going on with today's meal?"

A faint bitter smell wafted through Fengxian Palace. Consort Chu usually drank medicine and even had medicinal meals, so her mouth was so bitter that she had no taste.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Xuanzi immediately knelt down.

Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry, Chu Yue gestured for Xiao Xuanzi to be quiet. She looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty... it was my order. The medicines are a bit bitter, and I thought that if we used medicinal cuisine, the taste would be milder."

"My dear consort, you won't drink those bitter medicines. If you also find the medicinal cuisine unpalatable, then you shouldn't send these things to Fengxian Palace anymore. There's no rush for other matters."

The emperor understood perfectly well that Consort Chu was perfectly healthy; the reason she was recuperating was because the contraceptive medicine had damaged her body.

How could the emperor bear to let his child drink these medicines every day?

"Your Majesty, I only wish to improve my health; I had no other intentions." Chu Yue served the emperor a bowl of soup, then playfully scolded, "Your Majesty, I must stay by your side and forbid you from visiting other concubines..."

Hearing Chu Yue say this, the emperor slowly smiled. He figured that Chu Fei was just teasing and flirting with him without thinking much of it.

"Okay, whatever you say, you little jealous person."

"Your Majesty, please eat."

"Um……"
