Chapter 64 The War God Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 20
As darkness fell, Xiao Tao finally managed to coax Chu Yue to sleep. She breathed a sigh of relief after a moment of fear. Seeing that Chu Yue was sleeping soundly, Xiao Tao decided to go to the imperial kitchen to get some calming soup for her, otherwise she would wake up and be unable to fall back asleep for a while.
Xiao Anzi braved the wind and snow and searched for most of the day, but still couldn't find it. Dejected, he prepared to go back and be punished.
It was getting dark, and he could only make out a blurry image. There was a figure in front of him. Could it be the Imperial Concubine?
Xiao Anzi suddenly became excited and dragged his heavy steps forward.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xiao Tao, not the Imperial Concubine.
Little Peach?
Xiaotao is good too!
"Xiao Tao, what are you doing here! Where is the Imperial Concubine?"
Xiao Tao was startled. It was already dark, why was she running out to scare people?
"Xiao Tao, say something! Where is the Imperial Concubine?" Xiao Anzi was extremely anxious.
When Xiao Tao saw that it was Xiao Anzi, she pouted and said, "What are you doing? Why are you shouting like that?"
"Tell me quickly, where is the Imperial Concubine?"
"Her Majesty is in the palace!"
Which palace?
"Are you crazy! Where else could the Empress be but Weiyang Palace?"
Xiao Tao didn't understand what was wrong with him. The Empress had been gone for so long, and His Majesty hadn't come to see her, leaving her to cry alone for so long.
"Weiyang Palace? Haha, good, it's good to be in Weiyang Palace." Xiao Anzi ran off excitedly.
"This is unbelievable," Xiao Tao muttered as she went to the imperial kitchen.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant has found... found the Imperial Concubine!"
Xiao Anzi shouted excitedly all the way, "He doesn't have to die, haha!"
Just as the emperor was about to search the palace again, Xiao Anzi ran back.
He gasped for breath and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine... the Imperial Concubine... is... in Weiyang Palace."
"Yue'er is in Weiyang Palace?" The emperor was momentarily stunned. He was so flustered that he had overlooked Weiyang Palace after hearing Xiao Anzi's words.
"Yes, Xiaotao said so..."
Xiao Anzi was still panting heavily; he had been running all afternoon and was exhausted.
The emperor had already rushed to Weiyang Palace.
In the Weiyang Palace, Chu Yue woke up with a start. In her dream, the emperor and his other concubines were together, ignoring her presence.
My eyes reddened, and a sour feeling spread from my heart.
Chu Yue sobbed softly.
The emperor rushed over, and as soon as he reached the outside, he heard pitiful sobs coming from inside the palace.
Without thinking twice, he pushed open the door and rushed inside.
Chu Yue was startled by the noise, and even stopped crying, her face pale as she looked at the person walking quickly towards her.
"Yue'er! I'm here, don't cry." The emperor was heartbroken and wanted to hug her. He hadn't seen Yue'er all day.
Chu Yue reacted quickly, and dodged to the side with a somewhat aggressive expression: "No..."
He's with other women, so don't touch her anymore.
"Moon, what's wrong? Tell me, okay?"
The emperor felt uneasy; Yue'er must have found out about what happened today.
Chu Yue sat on the bed, hugging the blanket, silently shedding tears, refusing to say a word.
The emperor stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, and Chu Yue retreated further inside.
The emperor's outstretched hand froze in place. After a moment, he gently coaxed, "Yue'er, I was a bit busy today and didn't know the empress hadn't called you. It won't happen again next time."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yue felt even more upset. The Empress clearly wanted to isolate her, and His Majesty had even gone to the palace.
"Your Majesty, I dare not object to who you wish to see," Chu Yue said, choking back tears, before lowering her head again.
The emperor's face darkened. What did Yue'er mean? Did she not care who he went to see?
"Moon, think it over before you speak. I am unaware of what happened today."
He had a clear conscience towards Yue'er and had intended to support her today, but things had turned out this way. Having too many women in the palace was indeed a curse.
Chu Yue raised her tear-streaked face and choked out, "What does Your Majesty want me to think about? Do you want Your Majesty to be with other women?"
Even if Your Majesty sees me, you still ignore my existence. Is this what Your Majesty expects me to think about?
The emperor was puzzled. When had he seen her and then ignored her? He had been looking for her all afternoon. Was she here to coax him?
"I have not ignored your existence, Yue'er, come here."
As soon as the emperor reached out his hand, Chu Yue stepped back.
"You clearly had it, I just dreamt about it..." Chu Yue said in utter despair, tears streaming down her face.
The emperor's face twitched slightly. Was he going to pin a crime on someone else's wild dream?
"Moon, I'll say it again, I didn't. Come here, let me hold you, and I'll explain it to you properly."
"No, you have so many women, don't touch me..."
The emperor did not miss the fleeting look of disdain in Chu Yue's eyes. Suppressing his anger, he said, "Yue'er, are you coming over here or not?"
"I... I shouldn't have come back. If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have stayed in Qingcheng Mountain. Coming back to see you hugging and cuddling with someone else, I'd rather be dead..."
Chu Yue became more and more excited as she spoke, forgetting all the rules. She thought that if she didn't come back, she wouldn't see him being intimate with someone else.
The emperor's face grew increasingly dark. When had he ever been hugging and cuddling with someone else?
The more they talk, the more outrageous it gets. They even dare to threaten him with death?
"Chu Yue, have you grown bold enough to threaten me now?"
The emperor could no longer contain his anger. He hadn't chosen those women himself, and besides, he hadn't touched them at all.
Doesn't she know how I've treated her?
The emperor was furious. Chu Yue trembled with fear, got off the bed, and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, please punish me..."
"You!" The emperor was at a loss for what to do with her. Yue'er had never been so unreasonable in front of him before.
She is usually gentle, sensible, and obedient; she has never been so unreasonable and disruptive before.
The emperor couldn't bear to see her kneeling on the cold floor, so he reached out to help her up: "Get up first."
Chu Yue stubbornly resisted: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, please punish me..." She refused to get up as he asked.
The emperor paced back and forth in anger, his face as black as hell, and his chest ached with rage.
"Can you get up?" the emperor asked again, because Chu Yue was already trembling and dressed in thin clothes.
"Your Majesty... Her Majesty the Empress wants me to rest well. There are other sisters to serve Your Majesty. I am willing to stay in Weiyang Palace... and not go out."
Anyway, if I go out and see His Majesty with other women, I'll be the one who's upset, so I might as well not look.
The emperor froze, staring incredulously at the woman kneeling on the ground: "Say that again!"
Chu Yue lowered her head and refused to speak.
The emperor, enraged, kicked over the chair next to him.
The force was so great that the chair immediately shattered into pieces.
Chu Yue shuddered violently in fright, but kept her head down, biting her lip, neither looking up nor speaking.
The emperor, panting heavily, looked at Chu Yue trembling on the ground, his heart aching as if stabbed by a knife. He had spoiled her rotten, hadn't he?
Be as ruthless as you can towards him!
Want to leave him? Never!
The two remained locked in a stalemate inside the hall. Chu Yue was only wearing her nightgown, and although there was a charcoal fire, she was kneeling on the ground and was already quite stiff from the cold.
"Moon, take back what you just said. I'll pretend nothing happened."
The emperor still felt sorry for her; he shouldn't have gone to see those women today.
Chu Yue remained silent and did not look up, despite shivering from the cold.
The emperor, furious at not hearing a reply, grabbed the quilt from the bed, wrapped it around Chu Yue, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and angrily ordered as he walked out: "Consort... confined to Yong'an Palace. Without my permission, you are not to step out even a step!"
Chu Yue was both surprised and annoyed. Being carried on someone's shoulder like this was really uncomfortable. She resisted and said, "Put me down..."
The emperor remained silent, neither answering nor stopping.
When Xiao Tao returned carrying her things, she saw Chu Yue being carried away by the Emperor. She was terrified and didn't know what to do, but she didn't dare to go forward because His Majesty looked too frightening.
The emperor brought the person back to Yong'an Palace.
