Chapter 298 Yandere Emperor × Pampered Concubine 12
"Your Highness, look, aren't these flowers beautiful?" Qiu Tong picked a few delicate roses and presented them to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue gave a faint smile: "Beautiful..."
Qiu Tong said dejectedly, "Your Majesty, please smile. I was so worried about you."
Qiu Tong started to cry again as she spoke.
Wax Plum chimed in at the opportune moment: "Your Majesty, the weather is lovely today. I saw some butterflies over there. Shall we accompany you to take a look?"
Finally, the Empress agreed to come out and take a look, and Qiutong and Lamei put all their effort into making her happy.
Chu Yue glanced into the distance, somewhat reluctant to go, but seeing the two looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to agree.
"Your Highness, come, let me help you." Qiu Tong happily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and, together with La Mei, helped Chu Yue over.
Seeing the emperor stop in his tracks, Xiao Xuanzi followed his gaze and said, "Your Majesty... it's Consort Chu..."
The emperor passed by the imperial garden and saw her at first glance. Consort Chu had a forced smile on her face, and her body seemed even thinner.
After so long, Consort Chu finally came out, and the Emperor couldn't bear to look away.
Every time he went to see her, he was met with cold water and Chu Fei's sarcastic remarks. The emperor was afraid to go again, fearing that he would exhaust the affection between them.
"Your Majesty, shall we go over there?" They've been watching for quite a while now.
The emperor did not speak, but stared intently at Chu Yue not far away.
If Consort Chu came to pay her respects, he would act as if nothing had happened.
"Your Majesty..." Qiu Tong whispered a reminder, "His Majesty is over there..."
Chu Yue paused, not daring to turn around, but her expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and the butterflies that La Mei had caught no longer seemed so cute.
"Your Majesty, shall we go and pay our respects?" Lamei asked nervously. "His Majesty... has been looking at Your Majesty for quite some time."
Chu Yue didn't speak, but gripped the rose in her hand tightly.
"Your Majesty, didn't you want to go to His Majesty's side to express your gratitude in person?" Qiu Tong coaxed softly, "If His Majesty comes... Your Majesty, please forgive him, okay?"
Chu Yue dared not turn around and could only pretend that she had not noticed the emperor, but she could not calm her heart.
"Your Majesty... if you come, I..."
Chu Yue felt terrible. She knew it wasn't the emperor's fault, but she herself was too ashamed to face him.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Xuanzi called softly as the emperor turned to leave, "Your Majesty..."
Why are you leaving already? Aren't you waiting for Consort Chu to arrive?
His Majesty clearly wanted to wait for Consort Chu to come. Even if Consort Chu came to pay her respects, His Majesty would be delighted.
Qiu Tong glanced around cautiously, but His Majesty was nowhere to be seen. She then looked around and realized that His Majesty had already left.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has left..." Qiu Tong said dejectedly.
Chu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes still stung with tears: "I'm a little tired... Let's go back."
"Yes..." The three of them, master and servants, walked back listlessly.
Qiu Tong and La Mei dared not say anything more and silently stayed by Chu Yue's side.
"This servant greets Consort Chu..."
While the emperor was lost in thought, Xiao Xuanzi sneaked over. His Majesty and Empress cannot continue like this. They can bear it, but he cannot.
"Get up."
"Your Majesty, please go and see His Majesty. He looks terrible. He hasn't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days, and he's lost weight." Xiao Xuanzi cried, "Your Majesty has suffered, and His Majesty is also suffering. I've seen it all. Your Majesty, His Majesty hasn't gone far. I beg you to go and see him."
"I..." Chu Yue hesitated, she just wanted to go back and hide.
"Your Majesty, if things continue like this, you will hurt yourself and His Majesty as well." Qiu Tong followed up with advice: "If Your Majesty keeps quarreling with His Majesty, it will only benefit others."
Despite the three's persistent persuasion, Chu Yue said hesitantly, "I'll go take a look..."
Qiu Tong and La Mei were overjoyed and wanted to follow, but Xiao Xuanzi stopped them, saying, "Let His Majesty and the Empress be alone for a while."
Qiutong and Lamei realized what was happening and silently followed behind, keeping a distance.
The emperor stood in the pavilion, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable, his handsome brows furrowed, and pain surfacing in his eyes.
Looking at the tall figure in front of her, Chu Yue trembled violently. She stood still, not daring to go forward, and hesitated, wanting to turn back.
She had no face to see the emperor. What use was such a broken body? His Majesty would despise her.
Chu Yue turned and left in a panic.
Hearing the commotion, the emperor thought it was Xiao Xuanzi and turned around to reprimand her, but saw Consort Chu leaving in a panic.
"Consort Chu".
Before they could think too much, the emperor had already ordered them to stay, and they slowly walked over.
Chu Yue trembled and instinctively stopped in her tracks, tears streaming down her face. She dared not look back.
Footsteps approached from behind. Chu Yue suppressed her discomfort and lowered her head, saying, "Your Majesty, I greet you..."
The emperor looked at the swaying Consort Chu before him, pulled her into his arms, and said in a pained tone, "My beloved consort, please don't torture me anymore."
"Your Majesty... I deserve to die..." Chu Yue sobbed painfully with her eyes closed, "I'm so sorry..."
She could no longer bear imperial offspring; how could she repay the emperor's love and affection?
The emperor was heartbroken, a pain shooting through his heart. How agonizing it must be for Consort Chu, how could she bear the agony of being unable to conceive a royal heir?
"My beloved consort, I will have someone heal your body. You will surely be able to give birth to my son." The person in his arms trembled weakly, and the emperor's heart ached even more.
"Your Majesty... I am unworthy..." Chu Yue murmured painfully, "Do not waste any more time on me..."
"Don't talk nonsense." The emperor interrupted with a pained expression: "Trust me."
"His Majesty……"
Seeing the emperor and empress reconciling not far away, Xiao Xuanzi immediately summoned the imperial carriage.
The emperor carried Chu Yue directly to the imperial carriage: "Back to Fengxian Palace."
Qiutong and Lamei followed happily behind, finally the rain had stopped and the sun was shining.
Inside the imperial carriage, the emperor held Chu Yue tightly, finally feeling the emptiness in his heart filled.
The pain of these days has been somewhat comforted.
"My beloved concubine." The emperor kissed away Chu Yue's tears one by one. "Don't cry."
Chu Yue forced back her tears, her beautiful eyes reddening as she looked at the emperor: "Mmm..."
"Stop making a scene, okay?" the emperor coaxed gently. "Make up with me?"
Chu Yue weakly forced a smile, as he held her in his arms: "Your Majesty, please don't dislike me... Your Majesty."
The emperor almost lost his composure, his heart aching: "No, my beloved consort, you mustn't let your mind wander."
"it is good……"
But the emperor knew that Consort Chu was bound to overthink things; she had been obsessing over them lately, and neither of them was feeling well.
Consort Chu's inner turmoil can only be addressed slowly.
Chu Yue nestled weakly in the emperor's arms, and the emperor felt pity for her. "My beloved concubine, it was my negligence that caused you to suffer. Please forgive me."
"Your Majesty, it was my fault, please don't say that."
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more, okay?" The emperor kissed Chu Yue's pale lips: "I won't mention it again."
Chu Yue didn't speak, but leaned in to return the kiss. The emperor was startled, and then kissed her forcefully.
The two remained locked in a passionate kiss for a long time.
When they stopped, Chu Yue's clothes were disheveled, and she was leaning against the emperor, panting heavily.
"My beloved concubine, I will carry you back." Upon arriving outside Fengxian Palace, the emperor personally carried Chu Yue into the palace.
"Um……"
