Chapter 38 The Cruel and Impotent Emperor and His Favorite Concubine 11
The emperor walked a few steps to the imperial concubine, only to find her weeping silently, her beautiful eyes swollen from crying. He wondered how long she had been crying.
"My beloved concubine, what's wrong?" The emperor felt sorry for her, and seeing her tears, he gently wiped them away.
Chu Yue sobbed silently, her slender shoulders trembling incessantly.
"Alright, don't cry, I'll take you back." The emperor embraced her and headed towards the Phoenix Palace. During this time, Chu Yue didn't say a word.
Back at Fengyi Palace, Xiao Tao busied herself washing and tidying her up. After a little tidying up, Chu Yue's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were red and swollen.
Thankfully, the crying stopped.
"Now can you tell me why you cried?" The emperor gently embraced her and lightly kissed her reddened eyelids.
"Your Majesty...Isn't Consort De very beautiful?" Chu Yue asked in a low voice.
The emperor was puzzled. How could Consort De be as beautiful as her? The woman in his arms had completely captivated him.
"My beloved concubine is the most beautiful; there is no one else in my eyes," the emperor coaxed her.
"But...but I saw Your Majesty...holding Consort De..." As she spoke, Chu Yue was about to shed tears again.
When did he hold Consort De? The Emperor frowned, "I didn't hold her, you must be mistaken."
"Your Majesty has been away from me for so long today. When I went out to greet you, I saw... I am so sad..."
Chu Yue choked up and started crying again.
"Alright, alright, I came here just to see you. I was stopped by Consort De and had a few words with her. That's all. Don't overthink it."
The emperor rarely had the patience to explain, and he didn't want the imperial concubine to misunderstand and cause him a headache.
"Really?" Chu Yue asked in a low voice, somewhat skeptical.
"My beloved concubine, do you think I would lie to you?" the emperor asked in a deep voice, lifting her chin.
Chu Yue bit her lip and whispered, "But Your Majesty has a different scent of cosmetics on you, while I... don't have that..."
Upon hearing this, the emperor sniffed around and noticed a rather pungent smell. He hadn't found it so strong before, but now it was quite noticeable.
No wonder the Imperial Concubine was upset.
"Alright. Don't cry. I'll go wash myself clean and wait for me."
After the emperor finished speaking, he put her down and went to the inner room.
Chu Yue suppressed her sadness, sighed lazily, and lay down on the chaise lounge.
Emperor carefully cleaned the area, making sure there was no smell before coming out.
Chu Yue lay on her side on the chaise longue, facing inwards, so her expression could not be seen.
The emperor stepped forward, picked her up, and carried her to the bed: "Your Highness, please check if there's still any odor."
"Your Majesty...please don't talk about others, it hurts my heart."
Chu Yue seemed to have resigned herself to her fate and accepted everything.
"Not to mention anyone else, there is no one else, I only love the Imperial Concubine."
The emperor skillfully placed her on the bed and then covered her with his body.
As he nibbled at the concubine's soft lips and caressed her smooth, supple body, the emperor grew increasingly excited.
"Your Majesty... please don't choose anyone else, okay? Your concubine will serve you."
Chu Yue pleaded softly.
"Alright, I promise you." The emperor shut her up from her incessant chatter.
But after a while, the emperor was still just kissing her, without making any other moves. Chu Yue was a little puzzled, "Your Majesty?"
The emperor himself didn't know what was wrong; he wasn't responding!
Everything was fine last night, nothing happened, so why is he acting the same as before?
The emperor didn't want to believe it and wanted to try again. So he kept holding and kissing Chu Yue, but there was still no response.
The emperor slumped to one side in frustration, his face clouded with anger.
"Your Majesty? You..." Chu Yue asked softly, after all, she had experienced the emperor's fighting prowess firsthand.
"Your Highness, please rest well. I still have matters to attend to, so I will be leaving now."
The emperor spoke to her as gently as possible, then got up, put on his robe, and left.
"Your Majesty..." Before Chu Yue could stop him, he had already walked away.
Looking at the empty hall, Chu Yue finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Tao heard the voice and rushed in, only to see Chu Yue crying by the bedside.
Her slender back trembled incessantly.
"Xiao Tao... Your Majesty... has left me." After saying this, she started crying again.
"Your Majesty, please don't cry..." Xiao Tao didn't understand why the person who used to dote on Your Majesty would abandon you. Could it be because of Consort De?
Did Consort De seduce His Majesty?
It's a shame that the Empress treats them so well, providing them with the best food, lodging, and other necessities.
They're competing with the Empress for His Majesty's favor, causing her such heartbreak and sorrow.
"Your Majesty...dislikes me...he has no feelings for me anymore."
Chu Yue couldn't continue speaking. His Majesty was already in her bed, yet he left. How could she bear this?
"Your Majesty, please don't cry, or they will become even more smug,"
Xiao Tao was furious; how could she have fallen for someone else's trick?
"Okay..." Chu Yue gradually stopped crying. Perhaps she had cried too much today and was tired of crying. She fell asleep in no time.
After helping her to bed, Xiao Tao instructed the other palace servants to keep a close eye on the Empress before going to His Majesty's side.
"001, what's the situation with the Emperor?" Chu Yue opened her eyes after Xiao Tao left.
"How pitiful, I couldn't believe I was failing again, and I almost angrily chopped it off..." Linglingyi clicked her tongue.
"Isn't it?"
"Don't go too far. You know how crazy the emperor used to be," 001 advised.
"understood……"
As soon as they arrived outside His Majesty's bedchamber, they saw Xiao Lezi pacing back and forth outside, looking anxious.
"Little Lezi!" Xiao Tao shouted through gritted teeth.
Xiao Lezi heard the voice and looked over: "Why are you here?"
Xiao Tao stormed up to him and demanded in a deep voice, "Xiao Lezi, what happened today? Why did His Majesty leave?"
"Oh dear, my little peach ancestor, keep your voice down! His Majesty is inside. Does he have a death wish?"
Xiao Lezi wished she could sew her mouth shut; she was so outspoken.
"His Majesty abandoned the Empress and left. The Empress almost cried herself to death, so I came to ask about it."
Xiao Tao didn't dare to raise her voice any further, and pulled Xiao Lezi aside before speaking.
"After His Majesty returned in a hurry, he locked himself in his bedchamber and wouldn't even let me in. I don't understand what happened."
"What exactly happened at Fengyi Palace? Did His Majesty abandon the Imperial Concubine and leave?"
Xiao Lezi didn't understand either. After returning with His Majesty, who was covered in black mist, he was blocked outside.
"When Her Majesty saw His Majesty and Consort De together, she was heartbroken. But after arriving at Fengyi Palace, His Majesty comforted her. Everyone thought that His Majesty and Her Majesty had made up and that they could rest. But after a while, His Majesty left. Her Majesty cried uncontrollably, thinking that His Majesty had gotten Consort De and no longer wanted her."
Xiao Tao got angrier and angrier as she talked, and her teeth were almost grinding to powder.
"How could His Majesty be with Consort De? His Majesty refused Consort De's advances."
Xiao Lezi explained.
Neither of them understood what was going on.
Inside the bedchamber, the emperor stared blankly at himself, showing no reaction whatsoever, just as lifeless as ever.
The Imperial Concubine clearly cured him, so why is he not getting better again?
He was afraid the Imperial Concubine would dislike him, so he couldn't wait to escape. After all, the Imperial Concubine didn't know about his physical condition, but she was aware of his strength after she became her favorite.
How could the emperor possibly lose face in front of the imperial concubine? He could only flee the Phoenix Palace in a panic.
Having just experienced the ultimate pleasure, the emperor was now utterly tyrannical and wanted to kill people the moment he returned to his former state.
He hadn't been angry for a long time, but now the beast within him was about to break free of its cage, forcing him to stain his skin with blood once more.
The emperor suddenly stood up, drew his sword from the dragon bed, and with a clatter, slashed at the table in the bedchamber, shattering the precious and ornate table in two.
The emperor grew increasingly furious, and his roars and the sounds of things clashing filled the bedchamber.
Xiao Tao and Xiao Lezi trembled with fright. Xiao Lezi swallowed hard before lifting his trembling feet and going inside.
Xiao Tao hid outside, too afraid to move.
As soon as Xiao Lezi arrived at the entrance of the hall, a chair flew out from inside and almost hit him.
Xiao Lezi breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the ordeal; he had been given another chance at life.
The emperor was still venting his anger, and Xiao Lezi desperately knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down..."
The emperor went mad again for no apparent reason. Xiao Lezi didn't understand why, so he could only offer dry words of advice.
"Your Majesty, please don't hurt yourself. If anything happens, please take it out on this servant. If you're like this, the Imperial Concubine will worry..."
The emperor, his eyes bloodshot, stopped what he was doing and began to pant heavily.
Xiao Lezi stammered, "Your Majesty... what's wrong? This servant... may I call the imperial physician?"
Imperial Physician?
The emperor seemed to have found a lifeline in an instant. He grabbed Xiao Lezi and said, "Quick, call the imperial physician over, quick!"
Xiao Lezi was in a lot of pain from being grabbed, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, yes. This servant will go right away... this servant will go right away..."
The emperor released him. He used to be afraid of seeing the imperial physicians, but now he only wanted them to cure him. He didn't want the imperial concubine to dislike him.
