Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 284 A Heartbroken Emperor × A Beloved Concubine Who Has Regained Her Heart 10

Chu Yue felt a little guilty, snuggled against the emperor's chest, and said softly, "Your Majesty... I'm not feeling well..."

"My beloved consort, don't talk nonsense. You and our son are the most important." The emperor knew immediately that she was overthinking things.

He was most worried about Consort Zhao's health; he had no time to think about anything else.

The emperor's feelings for her had never changed. Chu Yue sniffed, "Your Majesty..."

"I'll make it up to you later." The emperor pulled her closer and kissed her forehead.

"It's still so long..." Chu Yue whispered.

The Emperor chuckled to himself. Consort Zhao's personality had really changed a lot. Perhaps it was because she had become more spoiled after having a son.

"Then when I need my beloved consort, please help me." The emperor held her hand and squeezed it.

Chu Yue paused for a moment before realizing what he meant, then playfully punched his chest, saying, "Your Majesty, I don't want to..."

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything, don't be angry," the emperor coaxed softly, "My beloved concubine, go to sleep."

Chu Yue pouted, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

Fengze Palace was extremely quiet. In the latter half of the night, a few faint, frightened moans could be heard from the sleeping quarters.

The emperor was startled awake. The person in his arms murmured in fear, his brows furrowed, and he was sweating profusely.

"My beloved concubine, wake up," the emperor called softly. "Yue'er, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue murmured unconsciously, "I was wrong..."

"I shouldn't have..."

"I won't choose a concubine... I won't choose one..." Chu Yue was trapped in her dream and couldn't get out: "I shouldn't have chosen one..."

The emperor frowned, but he understood immediately despite Chu Yue's fragmented explanation.

Unexpectedly, Consort Zhao's heartache was so severe. He was angry at the time, but Consort Zhao was also hurt.

This is why she still can't get over it.

"My beloved consort, wake up, I'm here." The emperor gently patted her face: "My beloved consort, wake up."

Chu Yue opened her eyes groggily, and after recognizing the person in front of her, she sobbed and threw herself into the emperor's arms: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor picked up Chu Yue and held her securely, saying, "Had a nightmare? Don't be afraid."

"Um……"

Chu Yue responded sullenly, though her body trembled slightly. Seeing Consort Li and Consort Yun during the day reminded her of the two months she had been arguing and giving the Emperor the cold shoulder. Only she knew how difficult those days were.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid."

"it is good……"

The emperor coaxed her until Chu Yue fell asleep again.

Seeing Chu Yue's furrowed brows, the emperor was also worried about her.

If I keep pushing myself like this, my body will eventually give out.

The next morning, before Chu Yue had even gotten up, the emperor finally found out who Chu Yue had met the previous day.

Lian Qiao and Pei Lan both confessed honestly: "Your Majesty originally did not want to see her, but was afraid of making things more unpleasant. Consort Li's words were sharp, but Your Majesty is kind-hearted, so she could only keep it to herself."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face turned cold. He then ordered that Consort Zhao be well taken care of before leaving Fengze Palace.

When Chu Yue woke up at noon, Lian Qiao told her, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has sent Consort Li and Consort Yun out of the palace."

"What?" Chu Yue was surprised. How could it be so sudden?

“His Majesty asked us this morning who the Empress had met yesterday, and we told him the truth.”

Chu Yue then remembered that she seemed to have had a nightmare last night, and the emperor had to comfort her for a long time.

Could it be because of this?

"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything is under His Majesty's care." Lian Qiao was afraid that she would feel burdened.

Chu Yue smiled magnanimously; she really didn't know: "It's alright, I'll ask His Majesty in a bit."

"Yes, ma'am."

"His Majesty must be arriving soon." Chu Yue had gotten up late; it was almost noon. She looked outside and said, "Let's go greet His Majesty."

Lianqiao quickly helped her up, saying, "It's good for Your Highness to go for a walk; the weather is just right outside."

Not long after leaving the palace gates, as I passed through the Imperial Garden, I saw Consort Li and Consort Yun leaving, escorted by special personnel.

Their feelings were nipped in the bud.

"Your Majesty, please stop looking. These are all His Majesty's orders..."

"Let's go."

The emperor was also coming over when he saw Chu Yue come out. He quickly stepped forward and said, "My beloved concubine, why did you come out? Did you want to come out so I could accompany you?"

"Your Majesty... Consort Li and the others..."

“My beloved concubine, it was originally just you and me. If it weren’t for the misunderstanding, there wouldn’t have been anyone else.”

The emperor always remembered the beautiful times when it was just him and Consort Zhao. Fortunately, things had returned to the way they were before, and Consort Zhao was pregnant with the emperor's child.

"Your Majesty...it's all my fault." Chu Yue felt extremely remorseful whenever she thought about it, but time could not be turned back.

"My beloved consort, there's no need to apologize again and again. I can't bear it." The emperor led Chu Yue to sit down in the pavilion. "There will never be anyone else like this again."

"I have arranged everything for them. They will have no worries for the rest of their lives. They will have plenty of money and can find good husbands to live out their lives in peace, so that they will not waste their time in the palace."

"Your Majesty... I'm sorry, you are Your Majesty, I shouldn't be so petty, but I just can't help it, I want to have Your Majesty all to myself."

Chu Yue spoke her heart with a sorrowful tone, unable to be magnanimous.

The emperor's lips curled up; this was what he wanted to hear, and this was what he always thought.

"My beloved concubine is doing very well. With me here, you have nothing to fear."

Chu Yue smiled with relief: "Then Your Majesty must protect me."

"I will protect you and our son." The emperor put his arm around Chu Yue's waist. "I will carry you back."

"Your Majesty, I am currently very pregnant..."

"I still have the strength." The emperor picked up Chu Yue and held her firmly in his arms. "My beloved consort is only three months pregnant. Trust me."

Chu Yue said nothing more, her eyes crinkling as she leaned against the emperor's chest.

The emperor carried Chu Yue through the imperial garden, along the palace path, and back to Fengze Palace. Chu Yue suddenly felt as if everything was different.

I feel a bit better.

At lunch, he ate more than usual. Seeing that Chu Yue was no longer worried, the emperor only regretted that he hadn't done so sooner.

……

By six months, Chu Yue's belly was already quite large, and the emperor wished he could have the imperial physician check her pulse every day.

Chu Yue looked helplessly at the emperor's nervous appearance: "Your Majesty, you've frightened even Imperial Physician Wang."

Imperial Physician Wang quickly wiped the sweat from his brow with his left hand, which he hadn't used to take the pulse: "I dare not, I dare not..."

"How is Consort Zhao?" The emperor frowned, his heart pounding every time he saw Consort Zhao's belly.

The imperial physician withdrew his hand: "Your Majesty, the Empress is doing well. As the fetus grows larger, the Empress will only have more to do. She should rest more and move around more often."

"Go back."

After the imperial physician left, Chu Yue finally spoke: "Your Majesty, are you relieved now?"

"You always say that, but I'm never at ease with it."

Chu Yue: "..."

"Your Majesty should trust the imperial physicians, and I really have nothing wrong with myself."

"My beloved concubine, you've had a hard time." The emperor held her in his arms, his expression worried.

"It's not hard work, Your Majesty, please don't worry."

"Hmm..." the emperor responded listlessly.

Judging from this, I'm still not at ease. Sigh.
