Chapter 294 Yandere Emperor × Pampered Concubine 8
In the middle of the night, Chu Yue felt thirsty and struggled to get up to drink water.
"what are you doing?"
In the darkness, the emperor's voice instantly cleared Chu Yue's mind.
"Your Majesty... I am thirsty."
Hearing the commotion outside, Xiao Xuanzi immediately asked, "Your Majesty... would you like me to come in and serve you?"
"Come in."
Candles were lit in the tent. Chu Yue, wrapped in her clothes, sat on the bed, disturbing the emperor's sweet dream. She wondered if he would be angry.
"Bring me some water."
Xiao Xuanzi immediately presented it respectfully: "Your Majesty..."
The emperor took the drink and fed it to Chu Yue. Chu Yue glanced at his expression; he didn't seem angry.
"Go out." As soon as Xiao Xuanzi left, the emperor was about to say a few words to Chu Yue when he saw that the person in his arms had her eyes tightly closed and seemed to be asleep.
emperor:"……"
Chu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief after the emperor fell asleep. Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; it's true.
After what happened on the first day, Chu Yue was on high alert on the second day, as serious as if she were going to the battlefield, ready to welcome the emperor's return at any moment.
"Consort Chu, are you alright?" Consort Xu asked, pouting, seeing that she was as energetic as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
Chu Yue had no time to pay attention to her. She was focused on the front, and soon the sound of horses' hooves came. As soon as she heard the sound, Chu Yue rushed out.
"..." Consort Xu: "You're sick."
Not wanting to let Consort Chu get there first, Consort Xu hesitated for a moment before quickly chasing after her.
The emperor saw Consort Chu galloping towards him while he was still on horseback. A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. He tugged on the reins, urging the horse to run faster.
He scooped up the delicate woman and placed her in front of him, letting her share the joy of victory with him.
Chu Yue was suddenly pulled onto the horse, her body stiffening with fright and her face turning slightly pale.
"Don't be afraid."
Chu Yue trembled as she said, "Mmm..."
Seeing that Chu Yue had also mounted her horse, Consort Xu and the others realized there was no need to go over to greet her.
The emperor rode his horse past the group, and when he reached the outside of the tent, he carried Chu Yue into the tent.
"Humph……"
Consort Xu stormed off, and Consort Li and the others exchanged glances before returning home as well.
Inside the tent, the emperor held Chu Yue in his arms: "Were you frightened?"
"Your Majesty...you are so majestic." Chu Yue's eyes sparkled. "So amazing..."
The emperor was amused and laughed out loud, showing none of the terrifying demeanor he had displayed the day before.
"Your Majesty...please have some tea..."
"Ah."
"Your Majesty, let me give you a back massage..."
"Ah."
"Your Majesty...a letter has arrived from the palace." Xiao Xuanzi's voice came through: "Urgent."
Chu Yue immediately sat obediently next to the emperor.
"Come in."
Xiao Xuanzi presented the letter, and the emperor frowned upon reading it.
Chu Yue didn't dare to ask, in case it was a political matter, they would pin another charge on her.
"Pack your things and take us back to the palace," the emperor said in a deep voice. "Hurry up."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
Seeing the emperor's anxiety, Chu Yue dared not say anything more and simply sat quietly to the side.
Noticing the silence around him, the emperor looked over and said, "Your mother is injured."
The Empress Dowager is injured? Is it that serious?
"Your Majesty, it's alright, don't worry." Chu Yue could only offer a few dry words of comfort.
The Emperor nodded. The Empress Dowager usually works very hard, managing palace affairs, and this time she was injured, which was worrying.
They made a big fuss about going out, but they had to go back in a few days. However, since the emperor had given the order, no one dared to say anything and could only obediently return to the palace.
Throughout the journey, the emperor's expression was rather unpleasant, and Chu Yue could do nothing but offer him comfort.
Having finally returned to the palace, the emperor went straight to the Empress Dowager's palace, where she was lying in bed being served medicine by Wenjun.
"My son, why are you back?" Wasn't his son supposed to be at the hunting grounds?
The Empress Dowager glanced at Wenjun and saw her guilty look, then she understood.
"I'm fine, why did you tell the prince?"
"Mother, what happened? What did the imperial physician say?" The emperor asked worriedly.
"My son," the Empress Dowager said somewhat awkwardly, "I just accidentally injured my leg. The imperial physician said that as long as I rest well, it's nothing serious."
The Empress Dowager sprained her ankle while exercising, and Wenjun even sent a message to the Emperor, causing him to rush back in a hurry.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to help her son develop a relationship with the concubines, hoping that they might have a grandson.
Now it's all ruined again.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was only worried about your leg," Wenjun pleaded.
"Mother, I have told you to be careful all the time."
The emperor was helpless; his mother's carefree personality hadn't changed even after she became empress dowager.
"My son, your mother is getting old and forgetful."
emperor:"……"
"Alright, alright, stop here with me. Go and cultivate your relationship with your beauty."
Her son is so young, she'll surely have grandchildren soon, and then she won't be bored anymore.
"Mother..."
"I need to rest now." The Empress Dowager leaned back. "Oh, and don't let them come over to pay their respects; they're too noisy."
The emperor couldn't do anything about the Empress Dowager's temperament, so he ordered the palace servants to take good care of her before leaving.
Having rushed back weary from her journey, Chu Yue took a good bath. When she came out, the emperor was in the Ni Chang Palace.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue stepped forward: "What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"
"Mother is alright." The Emperor was also a little tired, and he was relieved to see that the Empress Dowager was alright.
"Your Majesty, I will tidy myself up and go to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
"No need. The Empress Dowager prefers peace and quiet and said there's no need for me to come and pay my respects."
The Empress Dowager has a very good temperament, and she's young, so her ideas are quite different.
"Your Majesty...you must be tired. Let me help you wash up."
"Ah."
As soon as Consort Xu and the others returned to the palace, they got ready to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, but someone came to tell them that they didn't need to go and pay their respects.
His Majesty went to see it once and then went to the Palace of Rainbow Robes, and never came out again.
They were hoping the Empress Dowager could speak to Consort Chu, but now that the Empress Dowager is recuperating, it's even less likely.
How come Consort Chu has won His Majesty's favor? They are all His Majesty's concubines, how can His Majesty show such favoritism?
At night, Chu Yue nestled in the emperor's arms. The emperor was still awake, and she dared not fall asleep first.
"My beloved concubine."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The two hadn't been intimate for several days, and now they were embracing, with the emperor gently caressing Chu Yue's slender waist.
Chu Yue was ticklish and resisted slightly.
"Don't move." The emperor easily grasped her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, and Chu Yue was unable to move.
"Your Majesty...please be gentle..." Chu Yue complained softly.
The emperor chuckled softly, rolled over and pressed himself against her, his voice low and deep: "It won't be light enough..."
"Humph……"
Soon, faint sounds arose inside the bed curtains, gradually escalating from a gentle breeze to a sudden downpour.
The emperor was young, and he wouldn't stop until he had eaten his fill.
Even as Chu Yue fainted, she was still thinking that she needed to strengthen her training.
Seeing Chu Yue's frail and delicate appearance, the emperor felt pity for her and personally carried her to bathe. Chu Yue only woke up when he brought her back.
"Your Majesty..." The voice was weak and hoarse.
The emperor fed her water, saying, "My beloved concubine, your body is so delicate. I... am afraid of hurting you."
"It is because I am incompetent that Your Majesty has not been able to enjoy yourself to the fullest."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, go to sleep."
"Ah."
