Chapter 71 The Wife-Killing, Childless Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 6
Chu Yue's legs went weak and she collapsed onto the chaise longue, her eyes watery and hazy.
With soft breathing, his chest rose and fell.
A "splash..." sound came from the inner room. The emperor got up from the bathtub, casually put on a robe, and walked out of the outer room with slightly heavy breathing.
Chu Yue opened her eyes slightly upon hearing the sound, her watery eyes looking at the emperor.
The emperor's eyes were red, his chest heaving. He took a few steps to Chu Yue, picked her up, and carried her to the bed.
As Chu Yue was set down, the emperor's extremely hoarse voice rang out: "Consort Chu... are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid... I'm not afraid..." Chu Yue murmured softly.
The emperor could no longer care about anything else and kissed her deeply.
A romantic atmosphere filled the hall for a moment.
……
Xiao Xizi and Xiao Tao were both paying close attention to the situation inside the hall.
Hearing faint sounds coming from inside, the two were first overjoyed, then simultaneously knelt down and prayed, "Heaven bless His Majesty... bless Consort Chu..."
The two bowed for as long as it lasted inside, until their legs were numb, before the emperor's hoarse, satisfied voice came from inside: "Come in and serve."
Xiao Xizi and Xiao Tao dragged their weak legs inside.
Chu Yue had already fallen into a deep sleep. The emperor, having been released from confinement, was drugged again and became extremely violent.
The emperor gazed at the weakened Chu Yue, a pang of pity rising in his heart, and personally carried her to bathe.
Xiao Tao and Xiao Xizi quickly tidied up the room, and were overjoyed to see the messy bed.
This time it really worked!
After they finished tidying up, the two quickly left.
The emperor carried the person out again. Chu Yue remained unconscious and was gently placed on the bed.
The emperor couldn't take his eyes off Chu Yue, who had been thoroughly tormented.
He even checked Chu Yue's breathing. It's no wonder he was so alarmed; he was genuinely worried that Chu Yue might have suffered the same fate as the two people before him.
Consort Chu had interacted with him before and there was nothing unusual about it. Tonight, she was favored again and is now sleeping peacefully beside him. Apart from being a little weak from all the exertions, there is nothing wrong with her.
The emperor was not sleepy. He was afraid that if he woke up, he would hear some bad news, although he was not so concerned about the death of a person.
But Consort Chu is somewhat special; she is the only woman who has not died after being with him these past two days.
And tonight she became his first woman. Generally speaking, the emperor did not want anything to happen to Consort Chu. Firstly, it would dispel the rumors, and secondly, judging from the past two days, Consort Chu still pleased him.
"Ugh...no..." Chu Yue was sleeping very uncomfortably, and her whole body ached.
The emperor tightened his embrace around her waist, gently squeezing her slender, soft waist that could be held in one hand.
Although Chu Yue frowned, she managed to fall asleep.
But the emperor remained wide awake, gazing at the person in his arms.
Xiao Xizi and Xiao Tao listened to the commotion inside. Xiao Tao asked softly, "Is everything alright?"
It was quiet inside.
"No, His Majesty and Consort Chu should be asleep."
Xiao Xizi breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was almost dawn; everything should be alright now.
"That's good, that's good..." Xiao Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
The two dared not leave and had no choice but to stay and guard.
Anning Palace
As dawn broke, the Empress Dowager got up; to be precise, she had barely slept a wink the night before.
"Empress Dowager, what's wrong?" Jinxiu asked softly.
The Empress Dowager asked worriedly, "Did anything happen in Yuyao Palace last night?"
Before Jinxiu could answer, he asked again, "Did you watch her drink the wine?"
"Your Majesty, this servant saw with my own eyes that His Majesty and Consort Chu drank it, and nothing happened in Yuyao Palace last night."
"Your Majesty and Consort Chu are both well, and you will hear good news today."
Jinxiu was extremely helpless; the Empress Dowager had become slightly obsessed with this matter.
"That's good, that's good. When Consort Chu comes to pay her respects today, go to see her again. I don't want to see the scene from yesterday."
If Consort Chu had not yet served the Emperor, she would really punish her.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant understands..."
The sky was already bright, but the Jade Jade Palace was still quiet. The emperor hadn't slept a wink all night and was still gazing at the person in his arms.
He did not get up early to handle state affairs as usual. Last night was different, and it was okay for him to indulge himself once in a while.
The person in my arms began to flutter their eyelashes, looking like they were about to wake up.
Chu Yue struggled to wake up, her body aching all over. She frowned and let out a soft hiss...
It was so painful. The emperor was absolutely inhuman last night, tossing and turning her over and over.
"Consort Chu, are you feeling any better?" The Emperor asked, seeing how uncomfortable she looked.
Chu Yue then realized that the emperor was still there, and he was holding her, the two of them embracing.
Does the emperor not need to hold morning court sessions?
"Your Majesty...this concubine is in so much pain..." Chu Yue's voice was hoarse, making her look even more pitiful.
The emperor frowned almost imperceptibly. He had gone too far last night; Consort Chu was delicate and must be feeling very uncomfortable.
"Is there anything else wrong?" I watched over her all night, and Consort Chu is perfectly fine.
The emperor kept a close eye on her situation at all times.
"No... I feel nothing but pain..." Chu Yue said, her voice sounding aggrieved and pitiful.
This was the first time the emperor had ever had a woman, and a woman as charming and alluring as Chu Yue, and things had turned out well after they met.
He was both overjoyed and relieved. Consort Chu was different after all, and it wouldn't hurt for him to spoil her.
"Rest well today, I will come to see you tonight." The emperor's voice was very gentle.
He held her gently, afraid that she might be in pain.
Chu Yue shifted her aching body slightly and whispered, "I still need to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager..."
Otherwise, she'll be punished again.
"Come back and rest well. Today, your mother will not make things difficult for you."
He has already allowed Consort Chu to serve him in bed, so the Empress Dowager will no longer make unreasonable demands.
"Yes..." Chu Yue could only agree softly.
The Empress Dowager naturally chose her son over a completely unrelated woman.
She could only avoid making things difficult for the Empress Dowager if she served the Emperor well.
"If anything happens, have someone report to me," the emperor instructed, and naturally he would also send people to keep an eye on the situation.
Consort Chu has become his woman. It's unclear whether the rumors have been debunked or not, so we still need to be careful.
"Yes, Your Highness understands..."
The emperor was the first to get up and wash.
Xiao Tao then came in and quickly took care of Chu Yue. Seeing that Chu Yue looked somewhat weak, she asked worriedly, "Zhaoyi, how are you?"
"I'm fine, just feeling weak all over... Hurry up and get ready to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager."
"Yes……"
After Chu Yue finished packing, the sun was already high in the sky, but she still dragged her weak legs toward Anning Palace.
Upon her arrival, Jinxiu bowed to her and then went to the Jade Jade Palace. Chu Yue naturally knew what she was going there to do.
I don't know who tidied it up last night, or where it is now.
Upon entering the hall, Chu Yue curtsied and said, "This concubine greets the Empress Dowager..." Her legs went weak, and she almost fell over.
The Empress Dowager could tell from his expression that it had been successful the night before, and she smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Get up, get up, don't stand, sit down."
Chu Yue sat down carefully, not daring to move.
Jinxiu returned quickly and nodded to the Empress Dowager, who finally felt relieved.
"Consort Chu, you have served the Emperor well. I have ten bolts of brocade here. Take them back and make clothes for yourself. Wear something bright and beautiful."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty..."
"Alright, go back and rest. Serve the Emperor well tonight."
Chu Yue: "..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this concubine takes her leave..."
Chu Yue dragged her weak legs back to the Jade Jade Palace.
