Chapter 275 A Heartbroken Emperor x A Beloved Concubine Who Has a Change of Heart 1
Cloud Palace
"Your Majesty... Consort Zhao is ill... and wishes to invite you to come and see her..."
After Xiao Xingzi finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for the emperor's reply.
The emperor's expression remained unchanged, but he nearly crushed the memorial in his hand.
The emperor remained silent for a long time. Xiao Xingzi roughly understood what was going on and wanted to turn around and go out to reply, but as soon as he turned around, the emperor had already passed by him.
Xiao Xingzi shook his head. His Majesty was still worried about the Empress. He didn't have time to think too much and quickly followed after her.
"Your Majesty...would you like to..." Xiao Xingzi asked in a low voice, because the emperor had been standing there for a long time.
The emperor stopped outside Fengze Palace, his brows furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Cough cough..."
Faint sounds could be heard coming from inside the hall. The emperor came to his senses and went inside anyway.
"This servant greets Your Majesty..." The palace maid beside Consort Zhao bowed respectfully.
Chu Yue was coughing by the bedside, and Lian Qiao helped her soothe her.
Hearing footsteps, she weakly raised her head, her phoenix eyes devoid of light.
"Summon the imperial physician. Consort Zhao is ill. Is this how you treat her?"
The emperor was angry with Chu Yue, but he never imagined she would end up like this.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. This servant knows her mistake. Her Highness, she..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Yue weakly interrupted, "All of you, leave. I... have something to say to His Majesty... cough cough..."
"My lady..."
"Go down..."
The palace servants all withdrew one by one, and Xiao Xingzi also retreated outside, leaving only the Emperor and Chu Yue inside the hall.
The emperor stopped behind the screen, his dark eyes deep and his expression cold.
Chu Yue clutched her chest with one hand and propped herself up on the edge of the bed with the other, coughing occasionally in discomfort.
The emperor's brows furrowed more and more; he had no idea what method Consort Zhao had devised to torment him this time.
He really didn't want to come, not wanting to exhaust the bond between him and Consort Zhao, but upon hearing that Consort Zhao was ill, the emperor couldn't help but worry.
"Your Majesty... I have something to say to you..." Chu Yue barely had the strength to speak.
The emperor frowned, but still stepped forward and sat down at the foot of the bed.
"What is Consort Zhao planning this time?"
Chu Yue gave a bitter smile, her face looking sickly, weak, and haggard.
"Your Majesty... I am ill, are you still going to be so cruel?"
"Does Consort Zhao care about my attitude towards you?" Consort Zhao had always been disdainful of him.
Chu Yue propped herself up and swayed as she fell into the emperor's arms: "Your Majesty... I'm tired..."
The emperor paused, instinctively embracing the person in his arms. Looking down, he saw that Consort Zhao had already fainted.
"Someone, summon the imperial physician!"
The emperor's roar made the palace servants tremble, and they hurriedly went to summon the imperial physician.
"How were you all taken care of? Why is Consort Zhao so ill! You all deserve to die!"
The emperor was panicked; he didn't want anything to happen to Consort Zhao.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
Chu Yue's four maids all knelt on the ground. Lian Qiao respectfully kowtowed twice before choking out, "Your Majesty, the Empress is stubborn and forbids us from calling the imperial physician or telling Your Majesty. Today, seeing that the Empress was in great pain, we took it upon ourselves to tell Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty...the Empress did not mean to be angry with you. She always cries secretly at night. Your Majesty, please forgive her."
Perrin also stepped forward. When they saw Chu Yue's red and swollen eyes, they were both heartbroken and didn't know what to do.
The emperor was somewhat tense. It had been two months since he and Consort Zhao had quarreled and she had confined herself to Fengze Palace.
Now, Consort Zhao is so seriously ill that even in her sleep, her brows are furrowed.
"Your Majesty... the imperial physician has arrived." Xiao Xingzi led the imperial physician inside.
"His Majesty……"
"Show it to Consort Zhao."
The emperor came to the outside of the screen, a place he used to visit every day. Although he hadn't been there for two months, it was still unchanged.
"Your Majesty... Consort Zhao is ill from worry. Mental illness is hard to cure, and on top of that, she has caught a cold. Her health is weak, which is why her condition has become so serious."
After taking the pulse, the imperial physician came outside and knelt down respectfully.
"Take good care of Consort Zhao's health and use the best medicine."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
"Cough cough..."
"Your Majesty, you're awake?" Lian Qiao exclaimed joyfully.
The emperor turned and went inside. Xiao Xingzi waved his hand, and hurriedly dismissed all the palace servants.
"His Majesty……"
The emperor stepped forward to help Chu Yue as she tried to sit up, and Chu Yue nestled into his arms.
"Your Majesty...you didn't leave..."
Consort Zhao was behaving strangely today, and the Emperor, though suspicious, did not push her away.
"Your Majesty...please don't be angry anymore, I know I was wrong..."
Chu Yue tilted her head up from his embrace, making a delicate plea.
When had the emperor ever seen Consort Zhao so vulnerable? He looked at Chu Yue with a questioning gaze.
"Your Majesty... I'm so cold all alone at night..." Chu Yue leaned against the familiar embrace, greedily relying on the warmth.
The emperor was deeply shocked. Why had Consort Zhao changed so much? She had never spoken to him like this before.
"Your Majesty... Her Majesty's medicine is ready..." Xiao Xingzi didn't want to disturb the rare tender moment between the Emperor and Consort, but the medicine would get cold if they didn't drink it soon.
"Come in."
Lian Qiao wanted to serve Chu Yue her medicine, but the emperor took her away, so Xiao Xingzi and Lian Qiao had to retreat outside again.
The emperor personally fed the medicine to Chu Yue's lips. Chu Yue's beautiful eyes filled with tears as she drank it down, sip by sip.
"Your Majesty...don't go..."
The emperor was about to put down the medicine bowl when Chu Yue grabbed his sleeve, as if afraid he would leave.
"I will not leave, so Consort Zhao can rest assured." Despite his doubts, the emperor still attentively watched over Chu Yue.
After taking the medicine, Chu Yue quickly fell into a deep sleep again. Only after the emperor saw that she was asleep did he place the person in his arms on the bed.
"Summon the imperial physician to Yunxiao Palace. I have questions to ask him." The emperor spoke coldly as soon as he left Fengze Palace.
Xiao Xingzi followed behind, bowing his head and replying, "Yes, Your Majesty..."
Fengze Palace
"Yueyue, are you alright..." Linglingyi lay down next to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue weakly opened her eyes and glared at 001 listlessly: "You've already leveled up, why do I still need to do quests?"
"I... accidentally pressed the wrong button..." Zero Zero One felt a little guilty.
"Fine, what difference does it make what we do?" Chu Yue didn't want to pay any more attention to it.
"Yueyue, you've started as a favored concubine, how about that, aren't you happy?"
001 fluttered its golden wings ingratiatingly.
"Get out of my way, you're blinding me." Chu Yue pulled the 001 aside, revealing its glittering gold color, which she found tacky: "A disgraced concubine, huh?"
“She was a favored concubine after all.” 001 leaned closer to her: “The emperor still had feelings for you.”
"Even reaching 10% completion in the strategy is considered showing affection?" Chu Yue didn't want to say anything more; it would only bring tears to her eyes.
"Hehe, take your time, I believe in you."
Chu Yue was almost numb from doing these tasks, and now another one came along. It was truly heartbreaking.
Explain it clearly.
