Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 332 A Pure and Ascetic Emperor × A Charming and Beloved Concubine 6

"Then my beloved concubine must try her best to keep me here. If you behave well, I will not go to other concubines."

"Really?"

"How could my words be false?" The emperor was just teasing her; he didn't want to see her cry.

Chu Yue immediately perked up, got up from the emperor's arms, and pulled him toward the bed: "Your Majesty, I will serve you until you retire for the night."

The emperor chuckled. What evil intentions could Consort Chu possibly have? She just wanted to monopolize him. So be it.

"This is getting more and more outrageous." Although the emperor said this, he still obediently lay on the bed, his hands gripping Chu Yue's waist: "Lower your head."

Chu Yue placed her hands on the emperor's chest, slowly leaned down, and the two shared a deep kiss.

After the layers of bed curtains fell, faint sounds could be heard from inside, lingering for a long time.

Xiao Chuanzi, along with Qiongzhi and Lüzhu, stood guard outside. After Chu Yue was promoted, she gained another maidservant. Lüzhu was a gift from the emperor and served Chu Yue alongside Qiongzhi.

Qiongzhi and Lüzhu were naturally delighted that their mistress was favored, and they happily waited outside.

Xiao Chuanzi knew that things wouldn't stop anytime soon.

“Eunuch…” Lingyu, Consort Li’s personal maid, came over anxiously: “Eunuch, our Consort is ill. She keeps talking about His Majesty. Please, His Majesty, come and see her.”

After Lingyu finished speaking, she looked at Xiaochuanzi pleadingly.

Little Chuanzi was in a real predicament; wasn't this just causing trouble?

"Has the imperial physician been summoned yet?" His Majesty certainly doesn't have time right now.

"I've already sent word, but Consort Zhao is delirious from her illness and keeps calling out for Your Majesty. I feel so sorry for her. Please, Your Majesty, go and see her. Eunuch, please just let them know."

Xiao Chuanzi stamped her foot anxiously: "Keep your voice down! If His Majesty gets angry, we'll all be in deep trouble."

“Eunuch…” Lingyu knelt on the ground: “Consort Zhao only wishes to see His Majesty.”

Qiongzhi and Lüzhu stared at Lingyu with darkened faces, wishing they could rush up and slap her. What did this mean? It was blatant interception of her love interest!

Xiao Chuanzi was pacing around when suddenly a chill ran down his spine. He turned around and saw Qiongzhi and Lüzhi glaring at him, as if they would tear him apart if he dared to pass on the message.

Lingyu stared at him longingly, while Xiaochuan wished she could just faint right then and there.

Inside the palace, the emperor naturally heard the sounds outside. The sounds weren't loud, but they still carried faintly inside, which was annoying.

Consort Chu was clinging to him, and his interest was interrupted. The emperor got up with a dark expression, put on his outer robe, and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Your Majesty...where are you going?" Chu Yue's voice was filled with fear, and she looked at the emperor with a wronged expression.

"My beloved concubine, I'm not leaving. Lie down properly and don't catch a cold." The emperor tucked her in.

"Your Majesty, are you leaving?" Chu Yue didn't care about anything else and struggled to throw herself into the emperor's arms: "Your Majesty promised me that you wouldn't leave."

"Fine, I won't leave, I won't leave." The emperor had no choice but to wrap Chu Yue in the blanket: "Don't move."

"Okay..." Chu Yue then quietly leaned against the emperor's chest.

"Get in here!"

Xiao Chuanzi braced herself and went inside, then knelt down with a thud outside the screen: "This servant deserves to die, Your Majesty, please calm your anger..."

"What's up!"

"Your Majesty, Consort Li is ill and wishes to see you," Xiao Chuanzi replied.

"Send the imperial physician over. If Consort Li is still not well by tomorrow, I will not let her off lightly!"

"Yes... Your Majesty..." Xiao Chuanzi hurriedly withdrew.

Seeing him come out, Lingyu immediately stood up and took two steps forward: "Will His Majesty go?"

"His Majesty said to send the imperial physicians to treat her. Go back and take good care of Consort Li. If Consort Li is still not well by tomorrow, His Majesty will not let her off lightly."

The imperial physician will not be spared, nor will Consort Li.

Lingyu was so frightened that her eyes widened, and it took her a while to slowly move back.

"Your Majesty... Consort Li is going too far." Chu Yue complained aggrievedly, her eyes reddening as she nestled in the emperor's arms.

"My beloved concubine has been wronged. What do you wish for?"

"I don't want anything..." She was exhausted after all this fuss.

The emperor was about to coax her a little more, but he saw that she looked a little sleepy: "Alright, go to sleep first, I'm here."

Even after falling asleep, Chu Yue still clung tightly to the emperor's arm, her brows slightly furrowed.

The emperor knew she was overthinking things again, and only thought about coaxing her during the day.

next day

When the emperor got up, he realized something was wrong; the person in his arms... why was their body so hot!

"My beloved concubine, wake up." The emperor gently patted Chu Yue's face.

Chu Yue let out a groan, but did not wake up.

"Someone come here!"

As soon as the emperor's voice was heard, Xiao Chuanzi immediately came in with Qiongzhi and Lüzhu and stood outside the screen.

"His Majesty……"

"Go and summon the imperial physician," the emperor said, coming out in his outer robe and instructing Qiongzhi and Lüzhu, "to help Consort Chu with her toilette."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Qiongzhi and Lüzhu entered with their heads bowed. Seeing Chu Yue lying weakly on the bed, the two immediately stepped forward in surprise: "Your Majesty..."

Chu Yue was delirious with fever and could only writhe uncomfortably.

Qiongzhi and Lvzhu immediately helped her wash and dress, and changed her into clean nightgown.

After the emperor finished washing up, he came over. Chu Yue had already tidied up, but she still hadn't woken up. He sat by the bed and held Chu Yue's hand.

Xiao Chuanzi arrived with the imperial physician: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived."

Before the imperial physician could even pay his respects, the emperor spoke up: "Come and examine Consort Chu."

The imperial physician respectfully stepped forward to take her pulse. After a while, he withdrew his hand and looked at the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, Consort Chu has caught a cold and has a fever. I will go and get some medicine, which I will then brew and give to her."

The emperor frowned, thinking that Consort Chu must have caught a chill from the exertions he had put on her last night.

"Go quickly."

"Your subject takes his leave..."

The emperor was about to be late for court, so he ordered in a deep voice, "Take good care of Consort Chu and make sure she drinks her medicine later."

Qiongzhi and Lvzhu respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty..."

The emperor touched Chu Yue's face; it wasn't so hot anymore, then he left.

When Chu Yue woke up, she smelled a medicinal odor, which made her frown uncomfortably.

"Your Highness, you're awake. This servant will feed you your medicine." Qiongzhi and Lüzhu helped her up.

Chu Yue was still a little dazed and felt unwell: "What's wrong with me?"

My voice went hoarse as soon as I opened my mouth.

"Your Majesty, you have caught a cold. The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is ready. I will feed it to you."

Green Bamboo fed her bite by bite, but Chu Yue's pale face was contorted with worry as she struggled to swallow.

After finally finishing the drink, Chu Yue felt even worse.

"Your Majesty, please lie down and rest. I will stay with you." Green Bamboo wiped the corner of her mouth and fed her some candied fruit. "His Majesty has gone to court and will be back soon."

Chu Yue breathed weakly, "You smell like medicine all over you..."

Qiongzhi and Lüzhu could only carefully wipe her body again: "Your Highness, please bear with it, you will be fine soon."

"Um……"

As soon as it was light, Lingyu had the imperial physician check Li Zhaoyi's pulse to see if she was feeling better.

Consort Li was truly ill. The thought of Consort Chu being favored made her feel distressed, and the resentment in her heart could not be relieved. She also spent a long time in the wind at night, and developed a fever.

Instead of His Majesty's arrival, they were met with his rebuke, leaving the imperial physician and Consort Li terrified.

"Zhaoyi is fine now, she just needs a couple more days of careful recuperation."

The imperial physician administered a rather strong medicine, otherwise his head would have been severed.

Consort Li, her face pale, nodded. "Go down."

"Your subject takes his leave..."

Lingyu looked at her with heartache: "Zhaoyi, you've suffered so much."

Consort Li gave a slight smile: "I'll sleep a little longer."

Lingyu could only silently stand by and say nothing.

Consort Li closed her eyes in anguish, feeling only sorrow in her heart.
