Chapter 98 The Wife-Killing, Childless Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 33
Two months later, Chu Yue's delicate body had fully recovered.
Besides going to the main hall to handle memorials every day, the emperor stayed in Fengze Palace. He personally fed Chu Yue every bowl of her medicine, which is why she was able to recover so quickly.
The atmosphere in Fengze Palace gradually lifted; apart from the fact that children's topics could not be discussed, everything else remained normal.
Because of the recuperation over the past two months, Chu Yue has become a little rounder than before. She frowned slightly as she looked at herself in the mirror, pouting somewhat unhappily.
Xiao Tao knew exactly what her mistress was thinking. She secretly smiled before stepping forward to advise, "Your Majesty, stop looking. His Majesty will be here soon."
Mentioning the emperor made Chu Yue even more resentful. It was all his fault. Not only did he make her eat so much every day, but he also made her drink so many nourishing tonics.
"I've gained weight..." Chu Yue complained unhappily.
Xiao Tao quickly reassured her, "Your Majesty, you're not fat, really, I certainly didn't notice."
Chu Yue glanced at Xiao Tao with a resentful look, then silently lowered her eyes, no longer looking at her reflection in the mirror.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time for dinner. This servant will help you out." Xiao Tao prayed that dinner time would come quickly, and that His Majesty would arrive soon.
The emperor is also coming in from outside; he's been spending more time in Fengze Palace lately.
After bowing, Xiao Tao withdrew and ordered someone to serve the meal.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects..." Chu Yue's voice was low and listless.
The emperor paid close attention to her emotions and cared about them. He noticed her appearance as soon as she entered.
In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through her mind: was it a palace servant who dared to speak nonsense about the child, or was someone saying something inappropriate in front of her?
"What's wrong?" The emperor stepped forward and gently helped her up. He had already told her that there was no need for such formalities, but she still treated him with utmost respect every time.
Chu Yue looked at him with a mournful expression, her eyes filled with deep accusation against the emperor.
The emperor found it somewhat amusing, but fearing that something might be wrong, he continued to ask, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your Majesty... I've gained weight." Chu Yue said, then lowered her head, refusing to look at him.
So that's what it was. The emperor visibly breathed a sigh of relief, gently pinched her slightly rounded chin, and looked into her eyes: "My beloved concubine is not fat at all. I think it's just right."
These days, I haven't touched her for a long time because I'm worried about her not being fully recovered. Holding her every night is making the days harder and harder to bear, more and more agonizing.
Because of the recuperation over the past two months, the Imperial Concubine had gained some weight; her body was soft and plump, just the right size to pinch.
"Your Majesty... I won't listen, I won't listen," Chu Yue protested in a plaintive, delicate voice.
Don't think she doesn't know who's doting on her every night; the emperor is extremely pleased with the fact that she's gained a little weight.
The emperor chuckled helplessly, then gently pecked Chu Yue's rosy lips with affection. Being able to act so unreasonably with him meant she was probably no longer sad.
"Hmph..." Chu Yue gently turned her head in protest.
The emperor naturally embraced her and doted on her, while a meal was already laid out in the outer room.
After the palace servants had all respectfully withdrawn, the emperor pulled Chu Yue out to sit down.
Chu Yue didn't want to eat, so the emperor personally handed her the ginseng soup, causing Chu Yue to widen her eyes: "Your Majesty... why do you still want to drink it?"
"This is the last time," the emperor said softly.
Chu Yue shook her head: "Your Majesty, I don't want to..." She had been drinking so much these past few days that she felt like throwing up.
"Listen to me, drink this last bowl, and then you won't drink any more."
The emperor naturally wanted her to nourish her body, but this delicate girl was disobedient and protested strongly, especially since he had just mentioned that she had gained weight.
Chu Yue refused to comply, stubbornly sitting there without moving. The emperor had no choice but to let the matter drop and stop pressuring her.
They piled more food on her plate, and Chu Yue gently picked up her chopsticks and began to eat some of the lighter dishes.
The emperor shook his head helplessly, knowing that it was futile to persuade her. Oh well, at least she had recovered.
Chu Yue took a few bites and then stopped eating. She was on a diet, so she quickly put down her chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty... I'll go wash up first. Please eat slowly."
After finishing speaking, he quickly bowed and went into the inner room. If he stayed any longer, he would have to persuade her to eat something.
The emperor was so angry he almost laughed. What could he do? It was all because he had spoiled the emperor. He took a few bites and then stopped eating, going to the other side to wash up.
Xiao Tao gently wiped Chu Yue's fair and smooth shoulders, a little worried: "Your Majesty, will His Majesty be angry?"
Her mistress just ran off without any manners, leaving His Majesty alone there.
"...Probably not?" The emperor has been very lenient with her, so he won't hold a grudge over such a small matter.
Xiao Tao didn't know either, so she simply kept quiet.
After taking a bath and drying her hair, Chu Yue came out. The emperor was already leaning against the headboard, his nightgown slightly open, his eyes gently closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Chu Yue walked lightly to the bedside and leaned slightly forward: "Your Majesty?"
The emperor opened his eyes and looked at the delicate beauty so close to him. In an instant, his strong hands grabbed Chu Yue's slender waist.
"Ah..." Chu Yue exclaimed in surprise, already sitting sideways on the emperor's abs. After realizing what was happening, she turned her body slightly and placed her soft, boneless hands on his chest.
"My beloved consort." The emperor's throat was hoarse, his voice low and somewhat agitated.
Chu Yue had just finished bathing, her face flushed red from the steam, and Xiao Tao had only dressed her in a simple gauze dress.
How could the emperor bear to see her nestled in his arms like this?
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue called out softly, a little shyly, and lowered her eyes.
The emperor's breathing became slightly heavy, and with a swift movement, he pulled Chu Yue onto the bed, where she was pressed against him from the side.
"My beloved concubine, may you have mercy on me?"
The emperor could hardly contain himself. These days, he was afraid that she would overthink things. Even though the imperial physician said that she was ready to receive his favor after more than a month of recuperation, the emperor still felt sorry for her and held her alone every night, suffering in silence.
But at this moment, he couldn't hold back any longer.
After Chu Yue realized what had happened, her cheeks flushed even more, and her body trembled slightly: "Your Majesty... how could I... show mercy..."
"I will teach you."
……
next day
When Chu Yue woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She moved her body and immediately felt an indescribable soreness.
The emperor transformed into a wolf and ruthlessly bullied her, not letting her go even when she begged for mercy.
Who should pity whom?
"Your Majesty, you're awake?" Xiao Tao came in and lifted the beaded curtain, smiling broadly.
"Hiss..." Chu Yue frowned and cried out softly in pain.
Xiao Tao stepped forward to help her up: "Your Majesty, His Majesty truly dotes on you."
Chu Yue: "..."
It hurts quite a bit.
"Pour me some water..." Chu Yue was stunned when she opened her mouth, and her voice became hoarse.
Xiao Tao quickly poured her some water and fed it to her.
"Your Majesty, would you like to rest a little longer?"
Chu Yue nodded weakly, lay down again, and closed her eyes.
After seeing that she had fallen asleep, Xiao Tao quietly slipped out.
