Chapter 276 A Heartbroken Emperor × A Beloved Concubine Who Has Regained Her Heart 2
Chapter 276 A Heartbroken Emperor x A Beloved Concubine Who Has a Change of Heart 2
"The original owner was the emperor's favorite concubine in this world. When the emperor held his first imperial concubine selection after ascending the throne, he fell in love with the original owner at first sight and immediately selected her to enter the palace. The emperor only wanted the original owner, and she started as a concubine. The original owner was charming and lovely, and the emperor was young. The two of them were a perfect match."
"The emperor even wanted to make the original owner empress, but gradually, the original owner's personality began to change. She was the only concubine in the palace, and she practically acted arrogantly. She was also spoiled and domineering in front of the emperor. The emperor, mindful of their past relationship, always tolerated her. However, the original owner became more and more stubborn and went against the emperor. Moreover, the emperor discovered that the original owner was drinking contraceptive soup. The two had a big argument, and the emperor had no intention of mentioning the selection of concubines. Although the original owner was heartbroken, she was concerned about saving face, so she selected two women for the emperor the next day."
"The emperor was completely heartbroken and had a rift with the original owner. When you came here, the original owner was suffering because of his pride and was on the verge of death. That's why you are a little weak now."
Linglingyi took out a recovery pill and fed it to Chu Yue: "Yueyue, take this to prepare for battle."
Chu Yue: "..."
"Sigh, this is so difficult..."
Although the emperor was reluctant to do so, he was clearly deeply hurt by the test and no longer trusted Chu Yue.
"Is it okay for her to drink so much contraceptive soup?" Chu Yue asked with some concern.
"Yueyue, don't worry, I'm here for you."
"I can rest assured that."
"You get some rest, call me if you need anything."
"Um……"
Lianqiao and Peilan came in and saw that Chu Yue had woken up. They immediately came over to ask, "Your Highness, are you alright? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Chu Yue shook her head weakly: "It's nothing..."
Meanwhile, the imperial physician had been kneeling for almost half an hour.
"Is Consort Zhao showing any unusual behavior?" The Emperor frowned and asked again.
The imperial physician wiped away the cold sweat that kept pouring down his face: "Your Majesty... Consort Zhao's illness this time is a matter of the heart. A heart ailment requires a heart remedy. I dare not deceive Your Majesty."
"Her Majesty has taken some cold-natured medicine again. If she is not properly cared for, I'm afraid her health will... make it difficult for her to conceive an heir."
This was the emperor's greatest pain: his beloved Consort Zhao was secretly taking contraceptive soup behind his back.
The imperial physician who prescribed the contraceptive soup for Consort Zhao has been executed by the emperor. In the past two months, Consort Zhao is not the only one suffering from heartache.
"Go back."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor leaned wearily on the dragon throne, his mind completely disturbed by Consort Zhao alone.
"Your Majesty... Consort Li sent word that she has prepared Your Majesty's favorite pastries and would like to invite Your Majesty to come and sit down..."
Xiao Xingzi felt like his head was constantly hovering on the edge of a knife.
Consort Zhao, in a fit of pique with His Majesty, took it upon herself to select consorts for him. Although His Majesty ignored her, Consort Li and Consort Yun did indeed enter the palace, and there was a growing trend of them vying for the Emperor's favor.
The emperor opened his eyes in disgust, which reminded him of everything Consort Zhao had done to him, even personally choosing women for him.
"Your Majesty, this servant will go and report back immediately..." Xiao Xingzi thought that the emperor would refuse as usual.
Before he could even turn around, the emperor had already spoken: "Prepare the carriage."
Xiao Xingzi: "..."
Didn't Consort Zhao and His Majesty intend to reconcile today? Why has His Majesty now agreed to go to Yilan Palace?
The emperor's entourage was going to Yilan Palace. The people at Yilan Palace quickly received the news, and Consort Li happily made preparations, applying layer after layer of rouge to her face.
"Your Majesty, it's ready. His Majesty will surely like it." Fuling straightened Consort Li's dress.
Consort Li was still somewhat incredulous. She had been in the palace for over two months, and every time she went to invite His Majesty, he had refused. This was the first time His Majesty had agreed to come.
"Fuling, will His Majesty really come?" Consort Li asked anxiously at the palace gate.
"Your Majesty, the messenger has already delivered the message that His Majesty will definitely come. Since Consort Zhao has fallen out of favor, His Majesty will not fail to come to you."
"Yes, His Majesty will definitely come. Quickly, let me see if this dress suits you."
"Your Majesty, it's already very good, please don't worry."
"..."
"Your Majesty...should we hurry up..." Xiao Xingzi asked from outside the imperial carriage, it was really...too slow.
"No need." The emperor sat on the imperial carriage with his eyes closed, the bright yellow beaded curtain concealing his expression.
After traveling for half an hour, the imperial carriage had just passed through the Imperial Garden. The sun was about to set, and Xiao Xingzi didn't dare to ask any more questions, as His Majesty had never agreed to go before.
Could it be that he was traumatized after seeing Consort Zhao today?
The emperor set up a palace for Yilan Palace, and the news spread throughout the palace, but it was kept secret from Fengze Palace by Lianqiao and Peilan.
Consort Zhao could no longer withstand the shock.
“Peilan…” Chu Yue woke up and did not see the emperor in the palace.
Lianqiao and Peilan exchanged a glance and came to the bedside: "Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty...when did you leave...cough cough..."
“Your Majesty… His Majesty…” Perrin paused for a moment, “His Majesty was busy with state affairs. He left after Your Majesty had gone to bed.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry too much. You need to rest more now."
Lianqiao quickly echoed.
"Where has His Majesty gone?" Doesn't his own maid know?
Chu Yue could see through their expressions at a glance; they were hiding something from her.
"Your Majesty..." Lian Qiao couldn't bear to hide it from Chu Yue any longer, and said nervously, "His Majesty has gone... to Consort Li's place..."
Chu Yue swayed, her face deathly pale, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty... went to Consort Li's place..."
"Your Majesty, His Majesty is just going to take a look. Please don't overthink it. Your health can't take it."
Lian Qiao choked back tears as she supported Chu Yue's trembling body.
Chu Yue felt a pain in her chest and struggled to get out of bed: "I...I need to go see..."
"Miss!"
Pei Lan helped stop Chu Yue: "Your Majesty, please don't do this. His Majesty may have already returned. His Majesty loves Your Majesty the most and wouldn't go to another concubine's place."
"His Majesty is angry with me... I need to go see him..."
Lianqiao and Peilan, fearing they might hurt Chuyue, could only hurriedly help her put on her cloak. Chuyue had already stumbled out of Fengze Palace.
"Your Majesty, please slow down..." Lianqiao and Peilan were terrified. What was wrong with Her Majesty?
Xiao Xingzi couldn't help but ask, "The Yilan Palace is just ahead, but His Majesty is still nowhere to be seen. The long queue is just standing there waiting."
"Your Majesty...it's already dark, are you still going to Yilan Palace?"
"It's dark already? So fast." The emperor didn't even move.
Xiao Xingzi: "..."
What exactly does His Majesty mean? But since the emperor didn't move, they had no choice but to remain still as well.
"Your Majesty, please slow down..." Lianqiao and Peilan helped Chu Yue.
Chu Yue was still ill and was in such a hurry, so she felt a sharp pain in her chest the whole way.
Upon exiting the Imperial Garden, one could see the Emperor's carriage ahead, which was in the direction of Yilan Palace.
Chu Yue's legs went weak, and her body swayed precariously, but Lian Qiao and Pei Lan supported her.
