Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 234 Ruthless, Henpecked Emperor × Pregnant Palace Maid 3

"Imperial Physician Li, quickly take His Majesty's pulse!" Xiaowanzi anxiously whispered, then dismissed the others: "All of you, step aside."

Only then did Physician Li realize that he had been too hasty. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly knelt before the Emperor, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor stretched out his hand, looking at him coldly. Judging from the previous test, he was fine.

Imperial Physician Li held his breath and focused intently. His Majesty's pulse was strong. He then carefully observed the Emperor's expression and was shocked. When did His Majesty have another woman by his side?

A newly selected concubine? I've never heard of that.

"Imperial Physician Li, how is His Majesty's health?" Xiao Wanzi asked anxiously. Her Majesty should be alright now, so they wouldn't have to lose their heads.

Physician Li was also somewhat puzzled. How long had it been since His Majesty's health was restored?

Could it be that his medical skills are inadequate?

"Your Majesty, you are in good health and there is nothing wrong with you." Imperial Physician Li bowed his head and kowtowed.

"Oh?" The emperor scoffed lightly. "Nothing wrong with it at all?"

This morning he was saying he was poisoned. If he hadn't tried it himself, how would he have known his condition?

"Your Majesty, I have not uttered a single falsehood! Please calm your anger." Imperial Physician Li was on the verge of tears. "But if it concerns an heir... I dare not speak presumptuously. Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

The emperor's face darkened. The imperial physician Li meant that he was cured, but he didn't know if he could still have children.

"Incompetent doctors, what have I been doing raising you for!" The emperor, in a fit of rage, stood up and kicked Imperial Physician Li.

Physician Li was kicked to the ground, his chest aching. He didn't care about anything else and quickly got up to apologize: "Your Majesty...please calm down."

The emperor's movements were too exaggerated, and Chu Yue, who was sitting right next to him and was already weak from the exertion, fell to the ground when the emperor moved.

Chu Yue was so dizzy from the fall that she almost fainted and didn't even have the strength to get up.

Seeing that things were going badly, Xiaowanzi quickly knelt down and helped Chu Yue up. Who knows, she might become an empress in the future!

"Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down..." Xiao Wanzi helped Chu Yue up and mustered up her courage to speak: "Your Majesty, with the imperial physician here, everything will be alright."

The emperor's icy gaze swept over the kneeling men on the ground, and he felt even more irritated.

"Show her."

The emperor spoke in a deep voice, and everyone froze on the spot. Xiaowanzi immediately understood and quickly helped Chu Yue sit up: "Imperial Physician Li, quickly... quickly take a look at this master."

Xiao Wanzi suddenly dragged Chu Yue over. She didn't even know Chu Yue's name, but now that Chu Yue was His Majesty's person, she was definitely his master.

The emperor suddenly flew into a rage, and Chu Yue was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. She sat there pale-faced while the imperial physician Li took her pulse.

Physician Li examined Chu Yue carefully, observing her expression. After a while, he withdrew his hand.

"Doctor Li, how is it?" Xiaowanzi noticed that he was more anxious than anyone else.

"Your Majesty...the Empress is unharmed, but..."

"Hmm?" The emperor looked at Physician Li with a stern face.

After careful consideration, Physician Li said, "Your Majesty is somewhat weak. It's only the first time you've been exposed to the emperor's favor, so it's inevitable that you'll feel a little unwell. You just need to rest more."

"But since His Majesty has just recovered, it's best to... take it easy."

Chu Yue turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly, clenching her fists.

The emperor took in her actions. "And what about other aspects?"

Imperial Physician Li was taken aback. Meeting the Emperor's gaze, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "If... Your Majesty is unharmed, the Empress will certainly conceive a royal heir very easily."

Chu Yue lowered her head even further, becoming increasingly restless.

Maruko almost slapped her thigh in delight, but then her expression froze instantly. What if His Majesty is alright?

Your Majesty may favor your concubines, but regarding offspring...

The emperor also considered this possibility, and his face darkened considerably.

"Imperial Physician Li, can you guarantee that?" the emperor asked coldly.

Physician Li kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, I have not spoken falsely. The best course of action now is to wait. I will do my best to treat Your Majesty's illness."

"Go down."

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

Chu Yue stood up, intending to leave with them. Xiao Wanzi, observing the Emperor's expression, tentatively asked, "Your Majesty... what about the Empress...?"

"Give her the title of Imperial Concubine, grant her the Hehuan Palace, and assign her a few servants." The Emperor had no other choice; keeping her meant there was still hope.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Chu Yue stumbled again while bowing, almost falling over.

The emperor glanced coldly at her, who looked frail and weak, and said, "Stay and serve me tonight."

Chu Yue froze instantly; even cattle and horses wouldn't act like this.

"Yes... Your Majesty..."

Maruko quickly withdrew; it seemed he had to prepare water again. However, the most important thing now was to serve His Majesty and the Empress their meal, as they needed to be well-fed to have the strength.

The emperor had been busy all day, so he ate a little more at dinner than usual.

Chu Yue couldn't eat; she was still feeling unwell. After taking only a couple of bites, someone came to help her wash up.

Chu Yue: "..."

The emperor had finished bathing and was sitting on the edge of the bed. Even sitting there, he appeared tall and imposing, not to mention his aloof aura.

Chu Yue carefully moved closer: "Your Majesty..."

"Go inside and lie down."

Chu Yue: "..."

Forced by the emperor's imposing presence, Chu Yue slowly moved away from his side and lay down.

With a wave of his hand, the emperor caused the bed curtains to fall, and he bent down to pull off Chu Yue's almost bare, thin nightgown.

Chu Yue clenched her fists tightly, looking at the emperor with fear.

The emperor's face instantly darkened: "Release him."

"Your Majesty... could you please slow down... this servant..." Chu Yue stammered, terrified. "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

"You're unwilling?" The emperor casually tossed out these words, as if anyone dared to refuse his favor and was tired of living.

"No...no...it's just," Chu Yue stammered, "Physician Li said...not too much..."

"Let go." The emperor grew increasingly agitated. He was the emperor, and he made the decisions. That quack doctor had no skills, but he was good at talking.

The emperor was eager to prove his abilities, and he believed that the more effort he put in, the better his chances would be.

Chu Yue was almost in tears. It had only been a short time, and who could withstand the emperor's abuse like this?

dog man!

The emperor lost his patience and decided to stop. He grabbed Chu Yue's hands and pinned them above her head with one hand, while tearing open her fragile nightgown with the other.

The soul-devouring, bone-melting sensation surged back into his heart, the emperor's breathing grew increasingly hot, and gazing at the beautiful scenery beneath him, he bit down directly.

Chu Yue: "..."

After another long night of activity, the emperor finally stopped, satisfied that he was doing everything right. His mood had calmed down.

After retrieving the unconscious woman, the emperor felt a rare pity for her and personally carried her to a bath before holding her and putting her to sleep.

After the bedchamber quieted down, Chu Yue slowly opened her eyes and called out to Linglingyi weakly, "Give me some more recovery pills..."

"Yueyue, you've worked hard," Lingling wrote affectionately.

"It's good that you know..."
