Chapter 44 The Cruel and Impotent Emperor and His Favorite Concubine 17 (The End)
One month later
That day, Chu Yue was having breakfast. The emperor had made a ruckus so late the night before that she didn't get up until almost noon.
She then asked Xiao Tao to prepare some food for her.
Just as a lotus-shaped pastry was brought to her lips, Chu Yue couldn't help but feel nauseous and vomited, barely managing to cover her mouth.
"Ugh..." Chu Yue bent over and lowered her head beside the table.
Xiao Tao was terrified: "Your Majesty, what's wrong? What happened?"
Chu Yue knew that the Dragon and Phoenix Twins Pill was working. The emperor himself had no problem; it just accelerated the process of conception, just like other reproductive systems. Once used, he could get pregnant.
"I'm fine... Ugh..." Before she could finish her sentence, she couldn't help but feel like vomiting again.
Xiao Tao hurriedly helped her up, fed her water, helped her catch her breath, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Little... Peach, just help me lie down and I'll feel better..."
Chu Yue said weakly and feebly.
"Alright, alright, this servant will help you lie down. Please take it easy, Your Highness."
As soon as Xiao Tao helped her up, Chu Yue's vision went black and she fainted.
"Miss!"
"Help! Her Majesty has fainted!"
The Phoenix Palace was in chaos. Xiao Tao suppressed her panic and helped Chu Yue onto the bed. After instructing the other palace servants to take good care of her, she ran off to fetch the imperial physician.
Chenglu Hall
The emperor was processing the last memorial, thinking that he would soon be able to accompany the imperial concubine, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The Imperial Concubine was quite angry with him last night, and he had to coax her for a long time.
It was surprising to the emperor that even the usually good-tempered Consort could get angry, so he gently coaxed her for a long time.
Even the usually tall and mighty emperor had to humble himself in the gentle embrace of his concubine.
"Your Majesty, why don't you have some tea and rest?" Xiao Lezi suggested softly, seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood.
The emperor, without even looking up, said, "Put it there."
He needed to finish quickly so he could go to the Imperial Concubine's place. He didn't know if she had woken up yet; he would go and coax her later to avoid her giving him a bad look.
Just as Xiao Lezi was about to put it down, he heard a commotion outside, which startled him so much that he almost dropped it.
Don't you know that loud noises are not allowed here? Do you all have a death wish?
Xiao Lezi quickly put down her teacup, took a few steps outside, and cursed through gritted teeth, "Who's making noise? Don't they want to die?!"
"Your Excellency, this servant is from Fengyi Palace. Her Highness the Imperial Concubine has fainted! This servant..."
Upon hearing that the Imperial Concubine had fainted, Xiao Lezi turned and went inside before the conversation was even finished.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Empress has fainted!"
Xiao Lezi said in a panic, "The Imperial Concubine is His Majesty's darling, what should we do?"
"What did you say?" The emperor thought he had misheard. Had the imperial concubine fainted?
He was perfectly fine last night, but the Imperial Concubine fainted after he left for only a short while. Was it because he caused too much trouble last night?
The emperor, disregarding everything else, got up and left.
"Your Majesty, someone from Fengyi Palace reports that Her Majesty has fainted..."
Xiao Lezi reported quickly as he walked.
"What happened!" The emperor's face was grim; he could not bear the thought of anything happening to the imperial concubine.
"..." Xiao Lezi didn't know either. He went in to report that the Imperial Concubine had fainted.
The emperor turned his head and looked at him with a gloomy expression: "What use are you?"
"Yes, yes, yes, this servant is incompetent..."
"Your Majesty, after the Empress fainted, the imperial physician came to see her and said that she is pregnant..."
Upon seeing the emperor emerge, the young eunuch who had made the report quickly finished speaking.
The emperor stopped abruptly, staring incredulously at the young eunuch who had spoken: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty... the Imperial Concubine is pregnant; the imperial physician just examined her pulse."
The young eunuch respectfully repeated it again.
The emperor was so shocked by the news that he felt dizzy and his legs went weak, and his tall body swayed precariously.
Xiao Lezi quickly supported him: "Your Majesty, don't get excited. The Imperial Concubine is pregnant. It's a joyous occasion. Your Majesty, please go and see her."
"Yes, yes, yes, I want to see the Imperial Concubine, to see the Imperial Concubine."
The emperor was so excited and surprised that he was incoherent; he never imagined that this day would come.
When he could dote on the imperial concubine, he felt that was enough. But gradually, he wanted more and wanted the imperial concubine to bear him an imperial heir.
He knew he was greedy, but he was perfectly capable. If the imperial concubine could give birth to a prince, he would no longer be afraid of any problems.
That day, when he presented the Imperial Concubine with the Guanyin statue that symbolizes giving birth to a child, he knew that the Imperial Concubine understood his meaning and did not object to him. However, he still carefully coaxed the Imperial Concubine on ordinary days.
He hoped that the Imperial Concubine would give him a blood-related imperial heir.
The emperor was in disbelief that the day had come so quickly, and he didn't even know how to move his legs forward.
Xiao Lezi knew that His Majesty was overjoyed, happy for His Majesty, yet also feeling sorry for His Majesty, whose suffering had finally come to an end.
"Help me over there, quickly." The emperor only wanted to see the imperial concubine as soon as possible, but his legs wouldn't obey him.
Xiao Lezi supported him as he walked forward, comforting him, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has fainted; she must be feeling extremely unwell. Please pull yourself together; the Imperial Concubine needs you..."
After saying that, he realized it was inappropriate and quickly changed his words: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is definitely waiting for you. Please don't be excited, you will see her soon."
The emperor knew he was overjoyed and tried to calm himself down, as the imperial concubine was still waiting for him.
In the Phoenix Palace
Chu Yue lay on the bed, her face still somewhat pale, as Xiao Tao served her plum juice.
"Your Majesty, I've gone to inform His Majesty that he will be here soon."
If His Majesty knew this news, he would be overjoyed.
Chu Yue nodded weakly and gently closed her eyes to rest.
Xiao Tao quietly withdrew.
"Yueyue, your favorability rating is 90. The emperor is almost overjoyed, hahaha."
"Zero Zero One joked."
"001, this feels awful, give me some medicine that won't have an effect."
Chu Yue said weakly.
Are you buying it yourself?
"Correct!"
Fearing that she might change her mind, Linglingyi quickly used the prop, and Chu Yue immediately felt much better.
"Ten points, you have four thousand nine hundred and ninety points left."
"I'm not afraid."
"..."
"His Majesty has arrived..." Almost as soon as the announcement was made, Xiao Lezi helped the emperor into the hall.
Still panting heavily and sweating profusely, Xiao Lezi quickly retreated.
Hearing the noise, Chu Yue opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, her face pale. She whispered, "Your Majesty..."
Although she was no longer uncomfortable, she still had to pretend to be in pain in front of the emperor so that he would pity her.
The Emperor felt that these few steps were a long way. He dragged his heavy steps to the Imperial Concubine, reached out a trembling hand to touch Chu Yue's pale cheek, and said in a voice as soft as if afraid of scaring her away: "Imperial Concubine, are you pregnant?"
Chu Yue nodded shyly, a gentle smile playing on her lips: "Your Majesty's favor is most kind to me..."
Before she could finish speaking, the emperor embraced her tightly: "Good, good, good..."
"Your Majesty...please be gentle..." Chu Yue whispered, reminding the emperor that he was being too rough.
The emperor abruptly released her, instead gripping her small hand tightly. His gaze burned as he looked at her abdomen, wanting to reach out and touch it, yet he dared not.
Chu Yue pulled his hand and placed it on his still flat stomach: "Your Majesty... here."
Even though nothing had changed, the emperor felt as if his son's pulse was beating inside him and reaching his hands.
The emperor's lips trembled with excitement: "Imperial Consort, Yue'er, I..."
"I have a son?"
"Your Majesty...it's only been a little over a month, we don't even know if it's really your son yet."
Chu Yue said coquettishly.
"It's alright, it's alright, everything is fine..." The emperor was so happy he didn't know what to do.
"Moon, are you tired? Do you want to rest?" The emperor was very worried about her health, after all, she had just fainted.
"Your Majesty, I am a little tired..."
"You should rest now. I'll stay here with you and our son." The emperor took off his shoes and lay down with Chu Yue.
"it is good……"
The emperor held Chu Yue tightly in his arms, kissing her forehead repeatedly.
Chu Yue sighed helplessly, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
The emperor stared intently, not blinking.
001 was overjoyed; her affection level had reached ninety!
Five months later,
The imperial physician diagnosed that the concubine's pregnancy was twins, a boy and a girl, a piece of news that left the emperor completely bewildered.
He never expected that he was so capable; the imperial concubine conceived twins for him all at once.
The emperor was so happy he wanted to celebrate with the heavens, but Chu Yue stopped him.
Four more months passed.
Chu Yue gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and the emperor immediately ordered that she be made empress, to be conferred the title as soon as Chu Yue finished her postpartum confinement.
Chu Yue stopped her again, reminding her that her mission was that of a favored concubine, not a mission like that of a principal wife.
The emperor was puzzled as to why Yue'er did not want to be his empress.
Even after Chu Yue finished her confinement period, the emperor was still not very happy. He thought that Yue'er would like to be shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Your Majesty, may I become an Imperial Noble Consort?" Chu Yue coaxed the emperor softly.
"Moon, isn't the Empress good enough?"
"Your Majesty, the Empress is too tired. I also have the Prince and the Princess to take care of. How can you bear to let me work so hard?"
The emperor certainly wouldn't let her work hard; there were plenty of people in the palace to serve her.
Can……
"Your Majesty, please?"
"Moon, stay by my side forever and never leave, and I will grant your wish."
The emperor thought she refused to become empress because she didn't want to stay by his side.
"Your Majesty, from now on, year after year, day after day, every moment, your concubine and children will be by your side."
Chu Yue made her vow with both gentleness and firmness.
In that instant, the emperor saw nothing else; heaven and earth and all things vanished, leaving only the imperial concubine.
Afterwards, Chu Yue was made an Imperial Noble Consort, and her son was named Crown Prince.
My love is 100%!
