Chapter 259 A Passionate and Domineering Emperor × A Concubine's Daughter from the Prime Minist
"Your Majesty, please don't make me handle this, okay? I..." Chu Yue panicked when she heard that she had to deal with the affairs of the inner palace: "I... can't handle it well."
"What's wrong?" The emperor noticed her unusual expression, his face darkened, and he glanced around at everyone in the hall before looking at Chu Yue: "Yue'er, what are you afraid of?"
Chu Yue lowered her head, avoiding his gaze: "Your Majesty... I am incompetent, I really cannot handle this..."
The Empress's eyes widened with anger. Others would beg for this, and she doesn't want it? Who does she think she is!
"You still have the self-awareness to know that you really can't handle this," the Empress said sarcastically.
"Shut up!" The emperor looked coldly at the empress.
Consort Zhen and Consort Zhang exchanged bewildered glances. What was going on? His Majesty wouldn't give them what they wanted, but he was forcing them to give them what they didn't want.
Chu Yue bit her lip in even more shame, tears glistening in her eyes, and turned her head away in grievance.
The emperor remained silent for a moment, then led Chu Yue to sit down on a chair by the desk. He looked at Liang Chen and Xiao Tao and said, "You two speak."
Liangchen and Xiaotao immediately knelt on the ground, wanting to speak, but Chuyue hurriedly said, "Don't say it."
"Say!"
"Your Majesty... Her Majesty the Empress has never allowed our Lady to get involved in the affairs of the inner palace. She has only given her some account books to look at. Those account books are not only old and worn, but also moldy. Every time, Her Majesty sees them, she gets dizzy and lightheaded from the smell..."
"Liangchen, stop talking," Chu Yue whispered.
Liangchen couldn't care less about anything else. "Your Majesty, let me tell His Majesty. Those account books were clearly made difficult for you by the Empress. They strain your eyes. You haven't been feeling well these past few days, and you've lost weight."
"How dare you!" The emperor picked up a teacup and threw it at the empress.
The empress had no time to dodge and was hit on the forehead, blood gushing out and sliding down her cheek.
"Ah...Your Majesty, Your Majesty, someone come! The Empress is injured! Someone come!"
Jasmine was terrified and screamed incoherently.
The Empress was still in shock, staring blankly at the Emperor, seemingly oblivious to the pain in her cheek.
The emperor suddenly had a fit, which frightened everyone in the hall. Consort Zhen and Consort Zhang retreated to a corner. The commotion was terrifying to watch.
The Empress was injured and everyone was in a panic. This was no good. Xiao Yuanzi immediately went outside to order someone to fetch the imperial physician.
"Sister, sister, are you alright? How are you?" Chu Yue rushed to the Empress, crying in fear, "You're bleeding! Your Majesty, quickly call the imperial physician! My sister is injured..."
Jasmine wiped the blood from the Empress's cheek with a handkerchief. "Your Majesty, the imperial physician will be here soon. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
The Empress looked at Chu Yue and felt that she was being hypocritical. A stinging pain came from her face. She raised her hand with trembling hands, not daring to touch it, but felt a warm sensation sliding down her cheek.
"Get out of my way!" The Empress shoved Chu Yue aside: "What a hypocrite!"
Chu Yue stumbled and fell to the ground after being pushed, looking at the Empress with heartache.
"Yue'er." The Emperor picked up Chu Yue and, seeing how heartbroken she was, became even more furious with the Empress: "The Consort is so devoted to her sisterly bond, how could the Empress be so heartless!"
"Haha..." the Empress laughed sarcastically, "Who is she a sister to? Born to the same concubine, how dare she be worthy of sitting on equal footing with me as a sister?"
With each word she spoke, Chu Yue's face paled a little more.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived..." Xiao Yuanzi quickly led the imperial physician in.
"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician! Quickly examine Her Majesty the Empress! She's injured!" Jasmine cried out anxiously.
As soon as the imperial physician arrived at the Empress's side, Chu Yue fainted and collapsed into the Emperor's arms.
"Imperial Physician, examine the Imperial Concubine, quickly!" The Emperor carried Chu Yue into the inner palace.
The emperor was the greatest emperor under heaven, so the imperial physician got up and followed him.
"Imperial Physician!" Jasmine tried to stop him, but the imperial physician had already disappeared.
The Empress stared at the inner palace, her eyes filled with malice.
Xiao Yuanzi's legs almost gave way. He felt like he was about to die. Who knew that the Imperial Concubine would suddenly faint again? Otherwise, he would have called a few more imperial physicians.
"This servant will go and fetch the imperial physician immediately. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Little Yuanzi didn't dare linger for even a second longer; she ran out as soon as she finished speaking.
Consort Zhen and Consort Zhang hesitated for a moment before approaching the Empress: "Your Majesty, please get up. The imperial physician will be here shortly."
Jasmine sobbed as she helped the Queen to her feet and led her to a chair.
An angry voice came from inside: "Incompetent doctor, what is the matter with the Imperial Concubine?!"
The queen forced a stiff smile. It would be best if she were dead.
The imperial physician frowned as he examined the emperor's pulse, switching between his hands after taking the pulse with one hand. Only then did the emperor erupt in anger and roar.
After a while, the imperial physician withdrew his hand and knelt respectfully on the ground: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine is pregnant with the Emperor's child and has been carrying it for over a month."
"What?" The emperor felt his ears ringing. "The Imperial Concubine is pregnant?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak presumptuously. However, the Imperial Concubine's pregnancy is somewhat unstable and her body is a bit weak. She needs careful recuperation so that both Her Majesty and the imperial fetus can be safe and sound."
The emperor sat by the bed, gazing tenderly at Chu Yue's sleeping face. She had only been in the palace for a little over a month, and she was already pregnant. He had thought that Yue'er's body was delicate and it would be difficult for her to conceive a royal child, but he hadn't expected to be so happy so soon.
"Good, good, good," the emperor said in high spirits, and then instructed the imperial physician, "Imperial Physician Zhang, I don't want anything to go wrong with the Consort's pregnancy, do you understand?"
Physician Zhang's heart sank slightly: "Your Majesty, I understand... Rest assured..."
"The Imperial Concubine has gone through a miscarriage? What happened?" The Emperor's heart leaped again.
Imperial Physician Zhang respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is weak and newly pregnant. She has also been overworked recently, which has caused the pregnancy to become somewhat unstable."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will immediately prescribe medicine to help the Imperial Concubine prevent miscarriage. She can take it immediately."
"Go quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave..."
The emperor looked at Chu Yue for a while, then tucked the brocade quilt around her, got up and left. At the same time, he instructed Liangchen and Xiaotao: "Take good care of your lady."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
Liangchen and Xiaotao were also very excited. They hadn't expected that the Empress would be pregnant so quickly, and they hadn't even noticed.
The two wiped the thin layer of cold sweat from Chu Yue's forehead before standing guard beside her.
When the emperor came out, the imperial physician had already bandaged the empress's wound: "Your Majesty, the empress's wound has been bandaged. I brought some ointment, and after applying it for a while, it will not leave a scar."
The Empress breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that there would be no scars. Appearance is the most important thing for a woman and should not be damaged.
"Go back."
"Your subject takes his leave..."
The Emperor looked at the Empress: "The Empress has misbehaved. She shall be confined to the Jade Lotus Palace for three months. The affairs of the inner palace shall be managed by Consort Zhen. The Phoenix Seal shall be sent to the Phoenix Palace."
"Your Majesty!" The Empress could not believe her ears. She was confined to her quarters?
The Phoenix Seal is gone?
Consort Zhen hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise on this trip. Ignoring the Empress's murderous glare, she spoke softly, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness..."
"All of you, step back."
The emperor entered the inner palace.
Consort Zhen looked at the Empress cautiously and said, "This concubine takes her leave..."
Consort Zhang followed closely behind and left.
The Empress did not know how she left Fengluan Palace. After returning home, she fainted and developed a high fever that night, remaining in a coma for three days.
