Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 281 A Heartbroken Emperor × A Beloved Concubine Who Has Regained Her Heart 7

Chu Yue's eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She bit her lip and turned her head away, not wanting the emperor to see her disheveled state.

"My beloved consort, don't cry. Tell me, what's wrong?" Consort Zhao rarely shed tears before, but since she fell ill this time, she has become much more vulnerable.

"Your Majesty...you've forgiven me, haven't you? You're not holding my foolish actions against me, are you?"

Chu Yue looked at the emperor hesitantly.

"Why bring this up again? I don't blame you anymore. Don't you trust me?"

Consort Zhao genuinely repented. The Emperor wasn't heartless; she was the woman he cherished most, how could he be so cruel?

"When I see Consort Li, I am reminded of the mistakes I have made, and my heart aches. She even tries to hurt me with her words," Chu Yue said, her voice choked with emotion. "Your Majesty, I truly know I was wrong and will never do it again."

The emperor coldly swept his gaze over Consort Li, "Where did you get the audacity to disrespect Consort Zhao!"

"Your Majesty, where did I go wrong? Consort Zhao is just jealous and wants to possess Your Majesty alone. I told her the truth, and she became angry and beat me."

The emperor was heartbroken when Consort Zhao shed a few tears, but remained unmoved when she was beaten.

Chu Yue's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled. If she hadn't chosen women for the emperor out of spite, His Majesty would have always belonged to her alone. How could it be Consort Li here accusing her of being jealous?

Consort Zhao used to be a bit spoiled, but she has genuinely changed these days. Seeing Consort Zhao in such distress pained the Emperor's heart.

The emperor said he had forgiven her and would no longer blame her or mention what she had done. If he had been more patient, Consort Zhao would not have done anything foolish.

"Shut up!" the emperor said coldly. "Disrespect to your superiors. Go back and reflect on your actions!"

Consort Li scoffed sarcastically, "Consort Zhao, are you being so selfish? If I am not here today, someone else will be tomorrow. Do you think you can have His Majesty all to yourself forever?"

Chu Yue swayed and almost lost her balance. The emperor put his arm around her waist and sat her down beside him. Her face was pale, and the emperor had no time to care about others.

"My beloved concubine, what's wrong? Where do you feel unwell?" Consort Zhao looked very unwell today.

Chu Yue's lips trembled slightly: "Your Majesty... are you going to choose someone else?"

The two became estranged because of this incident, and it took them a long time to recover. The emperor knew that Consort Zhao was most sensitive about this matter, so he never mentioned it and would never bring it up again.

"Didn't I say long ago that I only had you?" Back then, I only wanted her, gave her my favor, and was just waiting for a while before making her empress.

But Consort Zhao didn't listen to advice and acted recklessly.

Chu Yue gave a bitter smile, constantly regretting the things she had done back then.

"Your Majesty, I was wrong... I dare not do it again..." Chu Yue's head was a little dizzy, and she kept admitting her mistake.

"My beloved concubine, what's wrong?" The emperor was frightened; Consort Zhao's condition was truly dire.

“Your Majesty, Consort Zhao is just pretending. She was very kind when she beat me, but she acted pitiful in front of Your Majesty.”

Consort Li was surprised that Chu Yue was so good at pretending; it was this kind of act that made His Majesty soften his heart.

The Emperor knew perfectly well whether the person in his arms was truly in pain or putting on an act, and Consort Zhao disdained to do such things; she never beat around the bush.

Although she was somewhat unreasonable before, she never had any bad intentions. Moreover, she has changed a lot now and would never deceive him. On the contrary, Consort Zhao is much more cautious than before, afraid that he will get angry again and not forgive her.

"My beloved concubine, don't be afraid. I'll have the imperial physician come and take a look." The emperor felt the person in his arms trembling.

Chu Yue was already sweating profusely, her face was deathly pale, and her lips had lost all color.

Seeing the situation, Xiao Xingzi quickly ordered someone to summon the imperial physician.

Consort Li was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. She had originally come to ask His Majesty to make a decision for her, but now His Majesty's heart was leaning towards Consort Zhao.

"His Majesty……"

"Shut up!"

Consort Li's face was very ugly. She shut her mouth and stopped talking. She wanted to see how long Consort Zhao could keep up the act when the imperial physician arrived!

"Yue'er," the emperor said, holding Chu Yue tenderly. Her appearance was heartbreaking for him.

Chu Yue felt unwell all over, her chest felt tight, and she almost fainted, weakly breathing in the emperor's arms.

"Where is the imperial physician?!"

The emperor was panicked. After Consort Zhao fell ill last time, her body had become much weaker. How could she possibly fall ill again?

"Coming, Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here." Xiao Xingzi had been waiting outside for the imperial physician to arrive.

As soon as the imperial physician arrived, Xiao Xingzi quickly led him inside.

The emperor picked up Chu Yue and carried her to the back hall: "Come here and let Consort Zhao take a look."

The imperial physician quickly followed, walking so fast that his back was soaked with sweat.

Chu Yue lay on the couch where the emperor usually rested, her eyes slightly closed in discomfort, her brows furrowed.

"How is Consort Zhao?" The Emperor sat on the other side, watching intently as the imperial physician took her pulse.

The imperial physician took the pulse with one hand and wiped the sweat from his brow with the other. After a short while, he withdrew his hand and said respectfully, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Consort Zhao is pregnant!"

emperor:!!!

Chu Yue gently opened her eyes, a hint of surprise in her beautiful gaze: "I...am pregnant?"

"Your Majesty, it has only been a little over a month, and the fetus is healthy. Your Majesty must take good care of yourself."

The imperial physician answered with a smile.

"it is good……"

Chu Yue then looked at the emperor, who was staring at her with bright eyes.

Everyone in the hall withdrew on their own initiative. His Majesty was overjoyed and must have told the Empress that they would wait outside.

"Your Majesty...are you unhappy? Your concubine..."

"I'm happy, I'm very happy." The emperor interrupted Chu Yue, "I'm so happy."

The fact that Consort Zhao drank the contraceptive soup was a sore point for the emperor, which is why he ignored her for so long; the two had a cold war for more than two months.

Now that Consort Zhao is pregnant, how could the Emperor not be happy? He'd probably go crazy with joy.

"Your Majesty, I truly know I was wrong. Now that I am bearing Your Majesty's child, please don't blame me anymore, okay?"

She hadn't drunk the contraceptive soup for a long time. During the two months of the cold war, the emperor hadn't touched her, so naturally she hadn't drunk it.

After making up, I stopped drinking altogether. Luckily, my body is still strong enough to get pregnant so quickly.

The emperor cupped Chu Yue's face and kissed her small mouth. He lingered on her lips for a long time, and only when she slightly resisted did he release her and affectionately peck at her forehead.

"I no longer blame Yue'er. It's my fault. I did something wrong, which led Yue'er to do something foolish."

When the imperial physician said that Consort Zhao's body was not conducive to pregnancy due to drinking the contraceptive soup, the emperor felt more heartache than anger. He was only angry that Consort Zhao had harmed her own body in this way.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness..." Chu Yue smiled weakly, with a touch of coquettishness.

The emperor suddenly remembered that he had neglected Consort Zhao's health these days and that she had been upset today.

"Are you still feeling unwell?" The emperor gently placed his hand on Chu Yue's lower abdomen, not daring to press too hard.

Chu Yue leaned against the emperor's chest in a coquettish manner: "Your Highness has made me feel so uncomfortable. I need Your Majesty to stay with me."

The emperor felt a pang of heartache and gently embraced her, coaxing her, "Alright, I will stay with my beloved consort and will not leave her for a moment."

"it is good……"

Chu Yue was physically weak, and after all that, she couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep in the emperor's arms.

The emperor stayed by her side every step of the way, watching Chu Yue's belly and feeling the joy.
