Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 300 Yandere Emperor × Pampered Concubine 14

"Your Majesty, the medicine has arrived..." Qiu Tong stepped forward, carrying the bitter-tasting medicine. "Your Majesty, please take your time."

Chu Yue felt nauseous at the smell: "Why does it taste so much more bitter?"

"Your Majesty, the dosage is a bit higher than yesterday, which is why it's a little bitter..." Qiu Tong couldn't bear it: "Your Majesty, why do you have to put your body through this? His Majesty will be angry with you if he finds out."

Chu Yue looked at the dark medicine, her brows furrowing in distress: "If I cannot bear His Majesty an heir, how can I face His Majesty..."

Despite trying to make up for the missed periods, Chu Yue's period still arrived on schedule, leaving her feeling disappointed and sad.

Qiu Tong knew she couldn't persuade her, so she held back her tears and said, "Your Majesty, let me feed you..."

Chu Yue clutched her chest, almost unable to swallow.

"Your Highness, don't rush." ​​Qiu Tong wiped her mouth for her. "Rest for a while before drinking."

This medicine smells very bitter.

"Qiutong, take it away, I... I can't drink anymore." Chu Yue felt extremely unwell, her heart racing and her breath short: "I'm going to rest for a bit..."

As soon as he stood up, his vision went black, and he swayed and fell to the ground.

Qiu Tong was about to leave with the medicine when she was so startled by this scene that she dropped the bowl and quickly helped Chu Yue up: "Your Majesty..."

Lamei was startled when she came in after hearing the noise: "Your Majesty..."

"Guards! Summon the imperial physician..."

"My lady..."

When the emperor learned that the imperial physician had been summoned from Fengxian Palace, his expression changed drastically: "What exactly happened?!"

Consort Chu has not shown any signs of illness these days, so why was the imperial physician suddenly summoned?

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Xuanzi didn't know what was going on either.

The emperor, with a sullen face, hurried to Fengxian Palace. When he arrived, the imperial physician was still taking his pulse.

"How is Consort Chu?" The Emperor entered and saw Chu Yue lying weakly on the bed, and his heart tightened.

The imperial physician's expression was solemn. After a long while, he withdrew his hand and said in a serious tone, "I would like to ask if Consort Chu usually uses medicine according to the prescription?"

"Your Majesty's body has been damaged by the contraceptive medicine, and she should not take too much medicine. Your Majesty has taken too much of the tonic to promote pregnancy."

The emperor frowned and looked at Qiutong and Lamei.

Qiu Tong and La Mei knelt on the ground, their faces pale, not daring to speak.

"Consort Chu's health is already quite weak, and she can only be recuperated slowly. However, it seems that Consort Chu has overused medicine and is unable to tolerate the supplements, which has instead damaged her body. If this continues, Consort Chu's health is not optimistic."

The imperial physician quickly wrote down a prescription and ordered that the medicine be prepared again for treatment.

"When will Consort Chu wake up?" the emperor asked in a deep, unsettling voice.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Empress is fine. She just overdid it and is feeling a bit weak. She will wake up soon."

"Go back."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave..."

The emperor sat by the bed, looking at Chu Yue's sleeping face with heartache, and the unusual behavior of the past few days was explained.

No wonder she always waited a long time before bathing after receiving the emperor's favor. The extra medicinal dishes on the table, the increasingly strong bitter medicinal smell in Fengxian Palace, etc., are all reasons why Consort Chu was secretly trying to nourish her body because she was anxious.

She repeatedly avoided being examined by the imperial physician, and the emperor was afraid that seeing the physician would remind Consort Chu of her painful memories. As a result, Consort Chu secretly harmed herself in this way.

I thought that Consort Chu had let go of her inner turmoil to some extent, but I didn't expect that it would get worse and worse, and that she would be torturing her body like this.

When Chu Yue woke up, she still felt dizzy, and it took her a long time to open her eyes.

She saw the emperor sitting by the bed, looking at her with a stern face, while Qiutong and Lamei were kneeling on the ground.

"His Majesty……"

"Guards! These two maids have failed to serve their master properly. Drag them out and beat them!"

The emperor felt sorry for Chu Yue's health, but she was torturing herself like this, so the emperor wanted to teach her a lesson.

Qiutong and Lamei dared not utter a sound, but trembled violently.

Chu Yue felt unwell. Hearing the emperor's anger, she was stunned for a moment before reacting. She immediately struggled to get out of bed: "Your Majesty... why are you punishing them? What did Qiu Tong and La Mei do wrong..."

"The imperial physician has examined your pulse," the emperor said, his voice slightly cold.

Chu Yue trembled, her face turning pale: "Your Majesty... it was all my idea. If you must punish someone, then punish me..."

"Don't hit them..."

The emperor was furious. How could he possibly care about her health? But she herself didn't seem to care at all.

Xiao Xuanzi hesitated outside the screen. How angry must His Majesty be to be so furious as to want to hit Consort Chu's maid?

"Drag him out and beat him!" The emperor's voice grew even colder.

Chu Yue staggered off the bed, clutching the emperor's robes: "Your Majesty... no, it's all my fault, I was bewitched, I'm unwell, I'm afraid Your Majesty will abandon me..."

"I am unable to give birth to the Emperor's son, I am terrified..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Lamei and Qiutong were heartbroken. Their lady had already suffered so much; she couldn't bear any more pain.

"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to accept punishment, but Her Majesty..." Qiu Tong kowtowed several times, sobbing painfully, "Her Majesty also wanted to bear an imperial heir for Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't blame Her Majesty..."

Chu Yue helped Qiu Tong up, and the three of them, mistress and servant, burst into tears.

The emperor squeezed his eyes shut, his expression contorted with pain: "All of you, step back."

Xiao Xuanzi breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and went inside to take Qiu Tong and La Mei out.

"My beloved concubine, rise." The emperor bent slightly and reached out to help her up.

Chu Yue rose with the help of the force, choked back tears, and threw herself into the emperor's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, "Your Majesty..."

"My beloved concubine." The emperor almost wept as well, holding the person in his arms tightly, and then carefully examining her condition: "Why are you so foolish?"

"Your Majesty... I was wrong, please don't blame me." Chu Yue looked at the emperor cautiously.

The emperor carried Chu Yue to the bed and wiped away her tears: "Have you forgotten what I said? My beloved concubine, how could I bear to blame you? It's not your fault."

It was his negligence that caused Consort Chu to suffer.

After Consort Chu was born, he always doted on her exclusively, which is why Consort Chu was under so much pressure.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I've remembered..." Chu Yue's eyes reddened. "Your Majesty, please don't abandon me..."

"No," the emperor solemnly assured him. "The burden of bearing our child cannot fall solely on my beloved concubine. I will make the effort myself."

Chu Yue stopped sobbing after hearing what he said and stood there blankly.

"Let's work together?" The emperor teased her to distract her.

"……it is good."

The bitter smell of medicine was no longer present in Fengxian Palace. The emperor immediately sent several more people to serve Chu Yue, and anyone who made a move would be reported to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, are you going to..." Chunmian and Xiahe asked Chu Yue seriously.

Chu Yue: "..."

"I'm going to take a walk in the Imperial Garden."

"Your Majesty, please..." Chunmian and Xiahe stepped aside, and after Chu Yue left, they followed behind.

Chu Yue was accompanied by Qiu Tong and La Mei, followed by Chun Mian and Xia He.

She dared not make any rash moves, and dared not do anything even slightly.

A few days ago, she casually mentioned to Qiu Tong that the medicinal cuisine wasn't very tasty, but less than a quarter of an hour later, the emperor arrived and almost overturned Fengxian Palace again.

The emperor no longer indulged in his favors. Even when they were intimate, he would immediately take her to bathe afterward.

Chu Yue's attempts to seduce him had little effect, and the emperor was determined to resolve her inner conflict.

"Your Highness, please stop looking." Dongxue whispered a reminder when she saw her mistress staring at Consort Chu for a long time.

"What's she showing off about? Why bring so many people with her on this trip?"

Consort Xu curled her lip in disdain, thinking that she should have known better than to come out. As soon as she came out, she saw Consort Chu leading a large group of people towards the Imperial Garden.

"My lady..."

"Hmph..." Consort Xu was too lazy to look anymore and went back in a huff.
