Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 229 High-Ranking Regent × Frail Orphan Girl 6

As soon as Chu Yue woke up, she saw Qi Yuan staring at her with a gloomy expression. Frightened, she propped herself up and hid behind him.

"Yue'er, you've made me very angry." Qi Yuan knew that she was pregnant and still dared to run around, and now she was resisting him so much that he had no patience left and his words were very ruthless.

Chu Yue's face turned pale. She gripped the blanket tightly in her hands and looked at him in fear: "You... are you going to kill me?"

For the regent, killing a person is as easy as crushing an ant.

Qi Yuan sneered in anger. How could he kill her? Besides, she was pregnant.

"I won't kill you, I'll lock you up so you can never leave me again, never escape."

“It’s clear… that you didn’t want me,” Chu Yue said, trembling. “Your identity was exposed, and you wanted to leave. You didn’t want me.”

Overcome with excitement, Chu Yue felt a dull ache in her lower abdomen, and she bent over, groaning as she clutched her stomach.

"Yue'er," Qi Yuan felt a dull pain in his heart. He treated her so sincerely, yet she still misunderstood that he was going to abandon her.

"Here, drink your medicine. You've disturbed the pregnancy." Qi Yuan took the prepared medicine and fed it to her.

Chu Yue suddenly looked up, her lips trembling: "You...you know?"

"Moon, you're carrying my child, yet you dare to run around like this. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Qi Yuan felt a sharp pain in his heart at the thought of this; how could she have dared to do such a thing?

Chu Yue was even more frightened, unable to utter a word, her face deathly pale.

Seeing her like this, Qi Yuan had no choice but to pick up the medicine from the side and say, "Drink your medicine. Once you feel better, I will take you back."

Qi Yuan fed the medicine to her mouth.

Chu Yue shed tears, but still opened her mouth and drank the medicine.

"Yue'er, why are you disobedient?" Qi Yuan put down the medicine bowl and gently wiped away her tears. If she hadn't run away, he wouldn't have let her cry. He would have cherished her and held her in his hands.

Chu Yue's lips moved: "You...don't want me anymore, I have no choice but to leave."

Qi Yuan didn't know how to explain it to her so she would believe him. He repeatedly assured her that he had no one else but her, and that he was leaving to deal with some matters, not because he didn't want her.

Chu Yue was all alone and found it hard to trust people. She finally managed to trust someone once, but was then misunderstood as being abandoned, which is why she chose to run away.

She was pregnant and working tirelessly, enduring countless hardships. When I held her just now, she looked much thinner than before.

Qi Yuan felt more tenderness than anger: "Yue'er, I told you it was only you, why don't you believe me?"

Chu Yue wept uncontrollably, looking at him with panic and helplessness.

"I never wanted to leave you, never, believe me." Qi Yuan reached out and hugged her, kissing away her hot tears.

Chu Yue burst into tears, her body trembling uncontrollably: "My husband..."

Qi Yuan's anger subsided, and he lowered his head to kiss her. He had been longing for her for so long that he was almost going crazy.

Chu Yue was weak and had also suffered a miscarriage. Before long, she was already out of breath and could only moan weakly.

Qi Yuan loosened his grip on her slightly, then hugged her tightly and patted her back gently to comfort her.

After taking the medicine and being frightened, Chu Yue fell into a deep sleep in no time.

He gently laid her down and looked at her sleeping face. Only then did Qi Yuan begin to feel excited; he had a child.

He couldn't accept the diagnosis given by the military doctor after he was injured.

He then ordered a trusted imperial physician to examine his pulse, but the result was the same: even if he could perform sexual intercourse, he would have no offspring.

Qi Yuan's manhood usually didn't react, but after meeting Yue'er, he realized that he wasn't impotent.

But he still dared not hope for children, thinking that his elder brother's child was his child, and that he would raise Yan'er well, even if he had no children of his own.

Even though he would feel guilty towards Yue'er, he didn't want to let her go. Even if it meant hurting her, he wanted to keep her by his side.

He never expected that Yue'er would be pregnant. This was something he never imagined. How could Qi Yuan not be excited about such a wonderful surprise?

Qi Yuan looked at Chu Yue with tender eyes. His anger at her for trying to escape had completely vanished, replaced only by pity and affection.

Chu Yue didn't wake up until evening. She took her medicine and slept for a while, feeling much better, but she was still a little scared of Qi Yuan.

"Moon, come here, let me feed you." Qi Yuan brought over the food and fed her personally, claiming that he had returned to the way he used to be with her.

Chu Yue reached out to take the food and said, "I... I can do it myself."

"Moon, have you forgotten what to call me again?" Qi Yuan hugged her. "I'll feed you."

Beneath the tender affection lies a deep possessiveness.

Chu Yue stopped resisting and whispered, "Husband..."

Qi Yuan then smiled and fed her spoonful by spoonful: "Yue'er, I couldn't sleep at night while you were gone. I could only feel at ease when I held you tightly in my arms."

"Husband... could you... release Xiao Tao..." Chu Yue asked hesitantly as she saw his expression soften.

That girl also had a hard life. Chu Yue had done her best for her, and if she were to lose her life because of her, she could not forgive herself.

Qi Yuan put down the bowl, embraced her, placed his large hand on her lower abdomen, and said gently, "She's fine. As long as you come back, she'll be alright."

"If you like, let her continue to serve you. If you don't like it, I will give her some money so she can survive."

"Okay?"

Chu Yue nodded slightly: "Xiao Tao is very good, let her stay."

"Moon, I will no longer dwell on the past, nor will I mention it again. You are not allowed to think about what I said when I left you."

"As long as you stay by my side, I will give you anything you want. Just believe what I say, I will never have anyone else but you... and the child."

Qi Yuan had to reassure her again that Yue'er was sensitive and pregnant, and could not withstand any more stimulation.

"I understand... my husband..." Under Qi Yuan's expectant gaze, Chu Yue said what he wanted to hear.

This time, Qi Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Yue'er, remember what you said, don't let your mind wander."

Chu Yue gently agreed.

"Yue'er, are you still feeling unwell?" Qi Yuan was worried, thinking of how weak Yue'er looked when she fainted that day.

Chu Yue shook her head and whispered, "I'm just a little tired..."

Qi Yuan's eyes were filled with worry. Xiao Tao had said that Yue'er couldn't eat and would vomit whatever she ate. She was in so much pain, but he wasn't there for her.

No wonder Yue'er was having these wild thoughts; he didn't even take her with him when she was pregnant.

If he had known then, he would have kept her by his side no matter what.

"Rest here for a few days. Once you're feeling better, I'll take you back to the Prince's Palace."

There are imperial physicians in the palace who can help Yue'er recover properly.

Chu Yue agreed to everything and returned to her usual docile demeanor, which put Qi Yuan at ease.

He was gentle and considerate towards her, showing none of the haughty demeanor of a prince. He was just like a loving husband, just like in the courtyard.

Qi Yuan's expression softened whenever he thought of Chu Yue returning and having a child.
