Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 192 Heartless and Cold-Hearted Emperor × Little Palace Maid 3

Princess Shion

Half a month has passed since that day, and no one dares to mention it again. No one dares to mention Chu Yue's name, not even Granny Qin.

Xiao Dezi helped the emperor change his clothes, carefully observing him a few times. He noticed that the emperor had his eyes closed and his face was expressionless.

Last time, it was said that Chu Yue would be punished after her injuries had healed. Half a month has passed, and her injuries have healed, but His Majesty has not mentioned this matter.

As someone who served His Majesty, Xiao Dezi hesitated whether he should offer a reminder.

but……

They were all servants, and he didn't want to be the villain, fearing that if His Majesty remembered, he would be the one punished again.

The emperor was going to the morning court session, and Xiao Dezi ultimately said nothing and followed him to the front.

Chu Yue's injuries have healed, and she hasn't stepped outside for the past two weeks.

She could only rest peacefully indoors to recover from her injuries. Fortunately, the place that Granny Qin had arranged was relatively quiet, and no one came to disturb her.

Only Xiaotao and Fangcao kept her company.

Since there was no word from ahead that she should go and receive punishment, she didn't go voluntarily. Nobody wants to be beaten.

"Chu Yue, come with me," Qin Mama called to her.

Xiao Tao and Fang Cao glanced at her worriedly, then watched her leave with Granny Qin, her expression blank.

"Granny..." Chu Yue said nervously.

Granny Qin didn't beat around the bush: "Your injury is healed?"

"Okay... okay."

Granny Qin said nothing more and led her to the Zichen Palace.

Chu Yue had some lingering fear of this place; she felt suffocated as soon as she entered.

"Think it over carefully. Do you want to take that beating?" Granny Qin said in a low voice.

Chu Yue bit her lip: "Granny...I..."

"When His Majesty returns tonight, you should be observant." His Majesty hasn't visited any of the concubines for the past two weeks.

But having tasted the pleasures of a woman, he shouldn't be able to resist.

Granny Qin is really worried sick. His Majesty and the Empress Dowager have a rift, and he doesn't like the current Empress.

There are plenty of women in the palace. If one isn't enough, there's another. Since this girl is the emperor's first woman, it's only right that she serves him.

Chu Yue nodded gently.

evening

The emperor returned to the Zichen Palace, where Qin Mama and Xiao Dezi served him his meal.

Chu Yue huddled in the corner, too afraid to go forward.

Granny Qin knew she was scared, so she didn't make things difficult for her and told her to stay for a while.

Looking at the expressionless emperor, Qin Mama felt sorry for him. She had taken care of the emperor since he was a child, and she had some influence over him.

After the Empress Dowager gave birth to His Majesty, she doted on him immensely. His Majesty was also appointed Crown Prince at a young age. With the love of the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager, His Majesty lived a very good life.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager became pregnant again and gave birth to a younger brother for the Emperor.

The Empress Dowager doted on her youngest son so much that she often neglected His Majesty.

Once, when His Majesty took the young prince out to play, the prince accidentally fell off the artificial hill. His Majesty was still young at the time, and he injured his arm while protecting his younger brother.

However, the Empress Dowager was convinced that His Majesty had deliberately taken his younger brother to such a dangerous place, causing him to fall.

He even blurted out in a panic, "His Majesty did that because he was afraid his younger brother would take the throne from him."

His Majesty was terrified and stared blankly as his mother gently coaxed his younger brother, leaving him standing aside.

From then on, His Majesty became taciturn and sullen all day long. When asked to study, he would study all day long; when asked to practice riding and archery, he would practice all day long.

This led to his reclusive personality.

Therefore, His Majesty remained unmoved by the empress and concubines chosen for him by the Empress Dowager.

Thinking of all this, Granny Qin looked at His Majesty with affection and served him another bowl of soup.

After the meal, Granny Qin quickly pulled Xiao Dezi out, leaving Chu Yue behind.

The emperor changed out of his heavy dragon robe and into black and gold clothes, sitting behind his desk with a stern face.

Chu Yue tried her best to minimize her presence; the nanny had told her that she had to be observant.

Seeing that the emperor was sitting there, probably wanting to deal with the memorials he hadn't finished reading, Chu Yue was just about to try to go up and grind ink for him.

The emperor stood up and went to the inner room, and Chu Yue gritted her teeth and followed him.

When she entered, the emperor was already sitting in the bathtub. Even without his clothes on, his tall and imposing body still exuded a powerful aura in the water.

Chu Yue then recalled the emperor's heavy breathing and domineering actions that night.

Lost in his thoughts, the emperor suddenly stood up and carried Chu Yue on his shoulder.

The sudden movement made her gasp softly, then she covered her mouth, enduring the discomfort of her shoulder pressing against her stomach.

Chu Yue almost felt dizzy and was thrown onto the bed. The emperor's tall body followed closely behind and pressed down on her.

Despite trembling slightly with fear, Chu Yue wrapped her slender arms around the emperor's neck.

The compliant movement caused the emperor to pause for a moment, followed by the sound of clothes tearing.

On the dragon bed, only the man's panting and the woman's soft moans could be heard.

After a long while, the emperor released the person beneath him and went to take a bath without saying a word.

Chu Yue then opened her eyes. She pulled the blanket up to cover her fair skin and the bruises. At this moment, she no longer had the strength to go back by herself.

The emperor did not give the order, and no one outside dared to come in.

So when the emperor returned to his bedchamber after his bath, he saw a woman lying there, her face flushed and weak.

She was turned to the side, and her exposed earlobe looked red and swollen, as if the emperor had been unable to resist biting it when he was in a moment of passion.

Chu Yue's slender body was huddled under the covers, making her almost invisible.

The emperor was somewhat agitated. He hadn't intended to touch her again, but something had gotten into him tonight.

Seeing her standing there reminded him of the night she was beneath him, enjoying his pleasure.

So I followed my heart and took her again, thinking she would leave on her own, but when I came out, she was still there.

"Come in and serve me," the emperor said in a hoarse voice.

Granny Qin led the way in. When she saw Chu Yue on the dragon bed, she gently curled the corners of her lips and directed the palace maids to quickly clean up the mess on the bed and serve Chu Yue a bath.

Xiao Dezi glanced around the hall and felt proud of his wise decision once again; it seemed His Majesty had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything unnecessary or talk nonsense.

After Chu Yue finished bathing and was helped out, she wanted to leave with Granny Qin, but Granny Qin pinched her palm.

“Your Majesty, it’s getting late and the dew is heavy outside. This girl might catch a cold. Otherwise… let her stay and serve Your Majesty.”

The hall was very quiet. The emperor coldly glanced at Chu Yue. He hadn't looked closely last time, but tonight he took a good look at her.

This woman had a face that was unforgettable, and her body was a perfect match for him.

It must have been the ordeal that happened last time that made her suffer; her already frail body had become even thinner, and she looked utterly pitiful.

The emperor did not speak, but both Granny Qin and Xiao Dezi understood his meaning.

The two quickly retreated.

Chu Yue went back to bed and lay down.

For a moment, the emperor regretted it; he wasn't used to having people around him.

That's it.

Lying down on the outside, the emperor listened to the soft breathing beside him, frowned as he looked at Chu Yue, only to see her swollen earlobes.

The emperor pursed his lips, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat, and fell asleep with a frown on his face.

Chu Yue was exhausted and didn't have the energy to think about much. She felt sleepy as soon as she got into bed. If His Majesty was angry, she should let her take a nap first; she was too tired.
