Chapter 301 Yandere Emperor × Pampered Concubine 15
Phoenix Palace
"Your Majesty, let me help you up." Seeing that Chu Yue's complexion was not good, Qiu Tong asked nervously, "Your Majesty, did His Majesty not..."
"Hmm..." Chu Yue knew what she meant. The emperor had only held her in his arms all night and had not done anything else.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as His Majesty is with you, take your time," Qiu Tong comforted her tenderly.
Chu Yue sat on the edge of the bed and angrily punched the bed a few times: "Let's see how long he can endure this."
"Your Majesty, be careful with your hands." Qiu Tong helped her to do her hair and makeup. "His Majesty is also worried about your health."
The Empress's health has indeed improved a lot, and her complexion has become better recently.
"Did His Majesty seduce Consort Xu and the others?" Otherwise, why doesn't he touch her?
"Your Majesty, please don't overthink it. How could Consort Xu and the others possibly see His Majesty? His Majesty is always in our Fengxian Palace."
Chu Yue thought about it and realized it made sense. She then asked about the progress of the 001 strategy, which was already 70%, which wasn't low.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager will be returning to the palace in a couple of days." Qiu Tong was also a little worried, as the Empress Dowager would definitely ask about the imperial heir.
"I see……"
When the emperor arrived at Fengxian Palace that evening, it was eerily quiet. "Where is Consort Chu?" he asked.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is waiting for you inside." After Qiu Tong finished speaking, she went out with La Mei.
The emperor walked straight behind the screen, where layers of bed curtains had been lowered, vaguely revealing his figure.
"My beloved concubine?"
"Your Majesty, come in..."
The emperor, unsuspecting, lifted the window screen, his pupils contracting slightly. Consort Chu was kneeling on the bed, wearing only a blouse and underpants.
"What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" The emperor quickly wrapped Chu Yue in a blanket.
Chu Yue: "..."
"Your Majesty...you really won't touch me anymore?" Chu Yue's eyes flashed with a dangerous light. If the emperor dared to say yes, she was sure she would run away immediately.
"My beloved concubine," the emperor paused for a moment, "there's no rush, wait until you're fully recovered..."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully see you off." Chu Yue pulled back the covers, knelt on the bed, and bowed. Then she moved to the inside of the bed, covered her head with the covers, and completely ignored the emperor.
Helpless, the emperor gently tugged at the blanket: "My beloved concubine, come out first."
"Your Majesty, my beauty fades with age. You must be tired of me. Please go find another concubine."
Chu Yue's muffled voice came from under the covers.
The emperor was so angry that his brain was throbbing. When did he start being so unreasonable?
What triggered Consort Chu this time?
However, considering that she was not fully recovered and there was no use in worrying about the imperial heir, he still came to accompany her every day even though he did not let her receive the emperor's favor.
"My beloved concubine, stop fooling around and come out," the emperor coaxed patiently again.
Chu Yue angrily threw off the covers, her eyes already brimming with tears: "Your Majesty, I am fully recovered."
"I'm already like this... Waaah, don't you feel any pity for me at all..." Chu Yue's voice choked with sobs, "I might as well die, since I can't bear Your Majesty a son anyway..."
As she struggled to get out of bed, the emperor, both angry and anxious, grabbed her and said, "Try to act up again."
Chu Yue sobbed softly, no longer daring to struggle.
"Is it wrong for me to feel sorry for you?" The emperor looked at her with a livid face.
Chu Yue choked back tears and mumbled softly, "His Majesty is right... he just dislikes me and has other concubines..."
"How dare you talk nonsense!" The emperor's chest heaved with anger. He couldn't remember when he had other concubines, what their names were, or where they lived. His heart was only set on the heartless woman in his arms.
But she was still being very unreasonable, every word she uttered was like digging into his heart.
Chu Yue met the emperor's gaze with red eyes, stubbornly refusing to show weakness, and forcefully holding back her tears and sobs.
The emperor looked at his reflection in her dark eyes and understood the fear and unease beneath her bluff.
"My beloved consort, I care about you and don't want you to feel pressured." The emperor softened his tone: "Why do you have to be so reckless?"
Chu Yue couldn't help but sob, "Your Majesty... if you feel sorry for me, please grant my request."
Faced with Consort Chu's delicate and helpless pleas, the Emperor could no longer refuse her verbally and could only express his feelings through actions.
Faint sounds soon rose from inside the bedchamber. The emperor had intended to stop after just one time, but Consort Chu kept pestering him until the third watch of the night.
Just in case, Chu Yue asked Linglingyi for a fertility pill and used it before fainting with peace of mind.
The emperor personally carried her to bathe. Seeing Consort Chu's delicate appearance, he felt nothing but heartache. Consort Chu was so pitiful, and the emperor also hoped that she could conceive.
Otherwise, he dared not imagine what would become of Consort Chu; how could she accept that she could not bear imperial offspring?
"My beloved consort," the emperor murmured before embracing her and falling asleep.
From then on, the emperor no longer restrained himself from favoring Consort Chu, and the Phoenix Palace was filled with revelry every night.
When the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she naturally inquired about the imperial heir. Although the result was disappointing, the Empress Dowager did not say much. Imperial heirs were never easy to have, and even if one was born, it was not guaranteed that the child would be born.
She needs to be even more careful in managing the affairs of the inner palace, so that her son won't have any worries.
……
Phoenix Palace
"Your Majesty, shall I help you go for a walk?" His Majesty has been staying at Fengxian Palace every night, and Your Majesty's complexion has visibly improved these days.
"Okay... let's go for a walk." Chu Yue had taken the fertility pill and was already pregnant, but it was only a little over a month into the pregnancy. She would wait a few more days before making any decisions.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Garden, Consort Xu and the others were also there. Seeing Chu Yue approach, Consort Zhang and Consort Wang quickly bowed and said, "These concubines greet Consort Chu..."
Consort Xu curled her lip: "Greetings to Consort Chu..."
"Get up, everyone."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Since the incident involving Consort Li, Consorts Zhang and Wang have become even more low-key and rarely appear in public.
Consort Xu had dragged them out today, and they ran into Consort Chu. Now they were getting restless and wanted to leave.
Consort Xu felt uneasy looking at Chu Yue's good complexion, but last time, she had only said a few words and Consort Chu had hit her. Consort Xu wanted to say something but dared not, and felt extremely frustrated.
"You may all do as you please. I'm just out for a stroll." Chu Yue didn't have much to say to them and turned to walk in another direction.
"Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty..."
As Chu Yue turned around, her vision suddenly went black, her head spun, and she swayed a few times.
"Your Majesty..." Qiu Tong and La Mei quickly helped her up: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Consort Xu and the others quickly took a few steps back; they hadn't done anything!
What scheme has Consort Chu come up with this time to frame them?
Chu Yue paused for a moment, realizing that some symptoms were normal in early pregnancy: "It's okay, let's go back first..."
"Your Highness, please take it easy..." Lamei carefully supported her: "After we get back, I will go and call the imperial physician to come and examine you."
Chu Yue weakly forced a smile: "Okay..."
Zhang Meiren asked somewhat nervously, "Sister Xu, should we go take a look...?"
Consort Xu was unhappy. What if Consort Chu got into trouble? Wouldn't they be blamed for it?
"She's just pretending..." Consort Xu muttered, but still worried that something might happen to Consort Chu, so she went to Fengxian Palace with Consort Zhang and Consort Wang.
