Chapter 94 The Wife-Killing, Childless Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 29
"No...it wasn't me..." Liu Yu'er retreated, her face pale.
The Empress Dowager was also terrified. Although the Emperor was her son, he was the master of the world and controlled the fate of everyone.
Now that someone has hurt his most precious person, even the Empress Dowager herself may not escape punishment.
The emperor grabbed Liu Yu'er by the neck and gradually increased his strength, lifting her up until her feet left the ground.
"No... Aunt..." Liu Yu'er patted his hand, pleading for help with difficulty breathing.
"Emperor, quickly release Yu'er!" The Empress Dowager couldn't bear to see Liu Yu'er in so much pain.
Although she hadn't expected Liu Yu'er to be so audacious as to dare harm Consort Chu, she was still a member of her Liu family.
Liu Yu'er's face was flushed red, and she was about to pass out.
The emperor was still not satisfied. The pain of losing his hard-won child and seeing Consort Chu lying there on the verge of death made him exert himself even more.
"Your Majesty, do you not even care about my life?!"
The Empress Dowager was still threatening the Emperor, saying that Liu Yu'er was a member of her Liu family, and how could she just stand by and watch her be strangled to death by the Emperor?
Consort Chu couldn't save her child, so was she completely innocent? Why is the Emperor taking his anger out on someone like this!
The emperor looked at the empress dowager with bloodshot eyes, his expression filled with disbelief. He had lost his child, his first child in so many years!
Why did his mother still protect Liu Yu'er? Was it because she had Liu family blood?
But he is her biological son.
The Empress Dowager's face turned somewhat terrifying and distorted with fear and apprehension. She was unsure if she could persuade the Emperor to calm down when he became angry.
In addition, the mother and son have become somewhat estranged in recent days.
When Liu Yu'er was on her last breath, the emperor released her. She collapsed to the ground, gasping for the long-lost air.
"Lock Liu Yu'er in Cangxue Pavilion and forbid anyone from visiting her!" The emperor's gloomy voice seemed to come from hell, sending chills down one's spine.
"Your Majesty, Yu'er is your cousin. How could you treat her like this? It was Consort Chu's own fault that she lost her child. Just because Yu'er said something that caused her to lose her child, does that mean you should blame Yu'er?"
The Empress Dowager believed that Consort Chu had a child, so she could give birth to it. Now that she doesn't, Liu Yu'er is a good match to serve the Emperor, and it's only a matter of time before she gets pregnant.
Why is the emperor so inflexible? He devotes his whole being and his whole heart to Consort Chu alone.
"Guards, escort the Empress Dowager back to Anning Palace to recuperate." The Emperor looked at the Empress Dowager, his voice hoarse with heartache: "Without my order, she is not to step out!"
The Empress Dowager's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at the Emperor as if he were a stranger. "Do you know what you're saying? I am the Empress Dowager! You want to put me under house arrest!"
"Take them all away!" The emperor's roar echoed throughout the Jade Jade Palace.
Xiao Xizi quickly gave the palace servants a look, and they sent Liu Yu'er and the Empress Dowager to their respective places.
The previous noise disappeared, and the emperor slumped down on the edge of the bed in pain, looking at Chu Yue with a look of self-reproach and distress.
It was all his fault. As emperor, he could protect his subjects, but he couldn't protect his own women and children.
Chu Yue lay there, lifeless, her face deathly pale, her breathing so faint it was almost imperceptible.
Seeing Consort Chu like this, the emperor's anger was once again hard to suppress, and despair slowly spread from the bottom of his heart.
After Consort Chu wakes up, how will he explain? And how can Consort Chu bear the pain of losing her child?
These days, Consort Chu often lovingly strokes her belly, repeatedly expressing her love and joy for the child.
I made countless tiny bibs and soft clothes for babies by hand.
She repeatedly discussed the child's name in front of him, and even asked him coquettishly whether he preferred a prince or a princess.
Consort Chu naively asked if he would be unhappy if she gave birth to a princess.
How could he not be happy? He was too happy to even think about it, and he would only love the mother and daughter even more.
But now...
All of that is gone, all of it has come to nothing.
The emperor closed his eyes in anguish, hot tears streaming down his face, his throat choked with sobs, causing him unbearable pain.
Within a few hours, the Jade Jade Palace went from being filled with joy to being shrouded in gloom. The emperor stayed by Chu Yue's side, his heart as cold as the dead of winter.
From dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, the emperor stayed by the Jade Jade Palace without leaving its side.
Consort Chu remained unconscious, and during this time the Emperor kicked over countless chairs and smashed countless medicine bowls.
On the third day, Chu Yue gradually woke up. She was still not fully conscious, a little dazed, and her eyes were somewhat confused.
The emperor stayed by her side the whole time. When he saw her wake up, he didn't have time to be happy. His heart jumped into his throat and he didn't dare to breathe loudly.
"My beloved concubine." The emperor's voice was hoarse, almost unable to utter a sound.
Chu Yue's gaze slowly fell upon him. Remembering everything, her expression turned to pain the next moment. Trembling, she touched her abdomen and murmured, "The child..."
"My beloved concubine... the child..." The emperor couldn't continue speaking; Consort Chu clearly couldn't accept that the child was gone.
"My child..." Chu Yue's expression was pained. She felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, and the strange feeling made her heart pound. She dared not think about the worst possible outcome.
"Don't move, don't move around. You're weak and can't take any more stress." The emperor quickly stopped her when he saw her struggling to sit up.
Chu Yue shook her head in anguish, urgently asking him, "Your Majesty, the child..."
"My beloved concubine...we can have another child, don't cry." The emperor comforted her, but his own tears had already fallen first.
Chu Yue's mind went blank. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She struggled to break free from the emperor's hand, staggered off the bed, and fell to the ground.
The emperor, fearing he might hurt her, dared not use force, but she managed to break free and fall to the ground.
"Moon! Don't be like this." The emperor was heartbroken and choked with sobs as he hugged her.
Chu Yue had just miscarried and had been unconscious for three days. She had no strength left, but she couldn't believe that she had lost her child. She struggled with the stubbornness in her heart.
Her eyes darted around, and she murmured to herself, "My child, my child...where are you? Please come out."
"Moon! Don't do this, don't hurt yourself. If you have any problems, come at me." The emperor held her in his arms in anguish.
Chu Yue seemed to only then hear his voice, abruptly stopping and slowly turning to look at him: "Your Majesty... do you know the child is gone?"
The emperor closed his eyes in agony and was subjected to slow slicing once again.
"Liu Yu'er told me that His Majesty was with her on the day I found out I was pregnant."
"If Your Majesty did not want me to give birth to the child, why did you not say so earlier and let Liu Yu'er tell me herself?"
Chu Yue was somewhat deranged, every word she uttered was laced with blood and tears.
The emperor denied it painfully: "Yue'er, I didn't, I didn't touch her, I only have you, really."
"Moon, please trust me, okay? You're all I have."
"You lied to me! You promised me you'd only want me, but you were with Liu Yu'er in Anning Palace. You're a murderer! Give me back my child!"
Chu Yue yelled at him, pounded on him, and blamed everything on the emperor.
The emperor didn't know how to explain, and tried his best not to let her hurt herself, but that fist, which had no power at all, slammed into his heart like it weighed a ton.
"Go away, I don't want to see you, I never want to see you again!" Chu Yue was in tears, unable to accept the fact that her child was gone.
"No, Yue'er, I won't leave, I won't leave." The emperor was in a terrible panic; at this moment, he was just a father who had lost his child.
It's impossible for me to leave her side even for a moment.
Exhausted, Chu Yue fainted in the emperor's arms.
"Guards! Summon the imperial physician!"
"quick!"
