Chapter 18 The Cold-Hearted Emperor and His Favorite Concubine
Chu Yue stayed in the emperor's tent to recover from her injuries. Seeing how serious her injuries were, the emperor did not allow her to return.
"My lady, you're finally feeling better. I was so worried."
After carefully applying the medicine to Chu Yue, Xiao Tao said with a worried expression.
"It's alright now. His Majesty ordered the best medicine. Look, I can even get out of bed and walk now."
Chu Yue asked Xiao Tao to help her, and Xiao Tao quickly supported her as they slowly walked around inside the tent.
Chu Yue was frightened by riding a horse and injured her leg. Being delicate and pampered, she only recovered a little after lying in bed for two days.
She hadn't walked far when the Emperor returned. Seeing Chu Yue moving around, he unusually asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"
"Your Majesty, you're back..." Chu Yue's eyes sparkled as she stepped forward.
"Master..." Xiao Tao was so frightened that she quickly helped him up.
The emperor was also startled. He took a few steps over and gestured for Xiao Tao to get down. He then personally helped her up.
"Why are you moving around?"
Chu Yue wouldn't miss any opportunity to get close to the emperor. She wrapped her arms around him and smiled mischievously, "Your Majesty, I'm all better now..."
The emperor had no choice but to carry her in his arms, sit on the couch, and place her on his lap.
Every time the emperor was in contact with Consort Chu, he felt completely comfortable.
These past two days, because Chu Yue was injured, the two of them have been staying together.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue's loving and dependent manner pleased the emperor greatly.
Looking at those alluring red lips, the emperor lowered his head and caressed them.
Chu Yue shyly nestled into his arms, responding to his affection.
"Your Majesty... the Imperial Concubine is unwell, please go and see her..."
The emperor was enjoying the tenderness of his concubine when he was interrupted again.
The person in his arms still had hazy eyes, and her clothes were slightly open at the chest. Chu Jieyu was blushing and nestled in his arms. The emperor couldn't help but soften his heart a little when he saw the adorable Chu Jieyu.
"It's alright." The emperor straightened her clothes, comforted her, and placed Chu Yue to sit beside him.
The emperor's face was extremely pale, and he said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
After Xiao Fuzi entered with his head down, he knelt down with a thud. It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to disturb His Majesty's good time; he was happier than anyone else if the Emperor wanted to be close to his concubine.
He only spoke up at the risk of his life because the Imperial Concubine was pressing him so hard...
"Say!"
Xiao Fuzi shuddered: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's injuries have not healed. Just now, her maid Liu'er reported that the Imperial Concubine has fainted due to a fever..."
After being frightened last time, Liu'er dared not face the emperor again and could only plead with Xiao Fuzi outside.
Xiao Fuzi was also afraid that something might happen, and then he wouldn't be able to escape punishment.
Since we're all going to die anyway, the sooner we die, the sooner we can be reincarnated.
The emperor didn't look well. Didn't the imperial physician already go to see him?
Consort Chu is almost fully recovered, but Consort Gui's condition is much worse?
Was the Imperial Concubine even weaker than Consort Chu?
"Your Majesty, why don't you go see the Imperial Concubine? I've been feeling cooped up for two days and would like to get out for a walk. May I accompany Your Majesty?"
Chu Yue offered words of advice with concern, without complaining at all about the matter concerning the Imperial Concubine.
The Emperor was very pleased with the pure and kind-hearted Consort Chu, and his previously gloomy expression improved considerably.
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, are you allowed to go?" the emperor asked.
Chu Yue was both shy and touched: "With Your Majesty's concern, I feel no pain anywhere..."
"Alright, come with me."
Chu Yue nodded and followed behind the emperor.
Xiao Fuzi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with lingering fear. Thank goodness for Chu Jieyu; she had survived another day. How wonderful.
Inside the imperial concubine's tent, Liu'er anxiously wiped the sweat from the concubine's forehead.
The imperial concubine's face was flushed red from the fever, and she kept muttering incoherently, but her voice was too soft to be heard.
The emperor walked in with a stern face, followed by the imperial physician.
"Greetings to Your Majesty..." Liu'er trembled with fear; His Majesty was too terrifying.
"Show it to the Imperial Concubine," the Emperor ordered in a deep voice, then sat down on the other side of the couch and gently beckoned Chu Yue to come to his side.
Chu Yue walked obediently to his side, her face showing worry, as if she was very concerned about the Consort's condition.
The emperor pulled her hand and made her sit down, then played with Chu Yue's well-maintained and delicate hands, which were soft and boneless.
Chu Yue complained to Linglingyi again: "This emperor is a hand fetishist. Go back and get me some more hand cream."
"Yueyue, don't be so greedy, okay!" It's reluctant to part with its points and always threatens to take on tasks; 001 is too difficult...
Chu Yue wasn't afraid of it at all. Having cooperated with Linglingyi for so long, she had Linglingyi completely under her control.
At this moment, the imperial physician finished his examination: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine was frightened and her pent-up emotions caused her to have a fever and fall into a coma. I will immediately prescribe medicine to help the Imperial Concubine recover."
The imperial physician said respectfully.
"When will the Imperial Concubine wake up?" Chu Yue asked worriedly.
"Replying to Consort Chu, I will immediately administer acupuncture to Her Highness, and she will wake up."
The imperial physician replied respectfully, "This Consort Chu is truly kind-hearted, so worried about the Imperial Concubine."
"Thank you for your help, Imperial Physician." After saying that, Chu Yue looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry, the Imperial Concubine is fine."
The Emperor was taken aback. When had he ever worried about the Imperial Concubine? Was that what Consort Chu thought?
The emperor stopped playing with his slender fingers, his displeasure evident in his darkened expression.
Chu Yue was completely baffled. What was wrong with His Majesty this time?
She's so unpredictable, even more fickle than a woman, she's really hard to please!
After the imperial physician administered acupuncture, the Imperial Concubine quickly awoke. Before she was fully awake, she was already calling out, "Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, you're awake? Are you feeling better?" Liu'er rushed forward excitedly and asked quickly and with concern.
The Imperial Concubine was still dazed and felt unwell all over. With a pale face, she asked, "Has His Majesty arrived?"
Liu'er dared not turn around to look in the emperor's direction, and only whispered, "His Majesty is here, Your Majesty, please rest assured..."
"Really?" The imperial concubine cried tears of joy and tried to sit up.
"Your Highness, please be careful not to hurt yourself." Chu Yue said, trying to comfort the Consort who was about to get up. The Emperor, however, remained seated the entire time.
The Imperial Concubine froze as she stood up. Had she heard Consort Chu's voice?
The Imperial Concubine looked over, but what she saw made her freeze in place. His Majesty sat there without moving, and Consort Chu sat right next to him.
His Majesty came to see her, but he was so far away, and he brought Consort Chu with him. The Consort's tears fell uncontrollably.
"Master..." Liu'er didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only considerately wipe away her tears.
"Your Majesty..." The Imperial Concubine cried sadly, for she was ill and looked quite pitiful.
After the imperial concubine woke up, the emperor didn't say a word, and Chu Yue didn't know what to say either, so she just sat awkwardly beside the emperor and listened to the imperial concubine cry.
The Imperial Concubine cried until she was exhausted and gradually stopped. Chu Yue felt numb from sitting and wished she hadn't come.
