Chapter 142 The Deeply Affectionate and Obsessive Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 19 (The End)
"Where is the Imperial Concubine?"
The emperor went straight to Zhaoyang Palace after court, not wanting to leave the imperial concubine and the child in her womb for even a second.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has gone to the Imperial Garden," Zhi Dong quickly replied.
The emperor suddenly became worried, said nothing more, and headed to the Imperial Garden.
Chu Yue was sitting in the pavilion when Xiao Tao helped her back from admiring the flowers and put her down. Xiao Tao also picked a few brightly colored flowers and placed them in front of Chu Yue.
"Your Majesty, perhaps we should go back now, otherwise His Majesty will worry."
Xiao Tao stayed by her side every step of the way, afraid that she might feel unwell.
Chu Yue shook her head. She didn't want to go back yet. She had finally stopped vomiting and wanted to come out and breathe some fresh air.
"Xiao Tao, go pick some more and take them back later." She put them in a vase for decoration.
Xiao Tao was really worried that, given His Majesty's personality, he would start nagging again soon.
She had just finished thinking when the emperor's voice came: "My beloved concubine."
Xiao Tao sighed helplessly; His Majesty seemed angry.
Chu Yue twitched the corner of her mouth. This came too fast.
She slowly turned around and, as expected, saw the emperor staring at her with a dark expression.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects..." Chu Yue bowed slightly.
"You!" The emperor was furious. He rushed forward and helped her up. "Did you do this on purpose?"
Before him. When had she ever been made to bow?
Chu Yue curled the corners of her lips. Little brat, trying to give her a hard time?
"Your Majesty, I dare not..." Chu Yue looked at him innocently.
Unable to find a rebuttal, the emperor could only vent his anger on the others: "How were you all served? Why did you let the Imperial Concubine out for so long?"
The spring breeze was cool, and she had finally recovered somewhat.
Xiao Tao and Chun Xiaqiu immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, please forgive us..."
"Your Majesty, it was my idea to come out, why blame them..." Chu Yue quickly pleaded, the maids had already served her very well and were quite clever.
This guy is really domineering!
"How is my son?" The emperor noticed that she was somewhat unhappy and immediately changed the subject.
Chu Yue turned her head slightly and muttered, "Not good."
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" The emperor became anxious and looked the emperor up and down.
"Hmph...here." Chu Yue snorted softly, placing her hand on her chest.
The Emperor chuckled helplessly: "Is the Imperial Concubine unhappy?"
"How dare I? I was only out for a short while when His Majesty came looking for me and even scolded my maid."
Chu Yue turned away, refusing to look at him.
"Get up, all of you. From now on, serve the Imperial Concubine well," the Emperor said graciously.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty..."
"Is this alright? Calm down, it wouldn't be good if the prince got hurt."
The emperor stroked her slightly protruding belly. She was already four months pregnant. He didn't blame her for coming out like this, but he couldn't help but worry.
"It was only because my son wanted to come out that I came out for a walk," Chu Yue quickly and earnestly replied.
Xiao Tao and Chun Xia Qiu lowered their heads and chuckled.
"Oh? What else did my son say?" the emperor asked again.
“He doesn’t want to go back yet,” Chu Yue said very seriously.
The emperor chuckled to himself, finding the imperial concubine adorable no matter how he looked at her. He put his arm around her shoulder and lifted her up in his arms, saying, "My child is hungry. Let's go back and have something to eat."
Without waiting for Chu Yue's reply, he had already picked her up and started walking back. After her morning sickness subsided, she had lost a lot of weight. And with her pregnancy, she needed to replenish her body properly, otherwise her body would definitely not be able to take it.
Chu Yue nestled in his arms without speaking, waiting until he was busy before coming out. She didn't believe he would always be watching over her.
"You'd better put aside your unnecessary thoughts, Consort. I have plenty of time to spend with you." The Emperor doesn't understand her at all; her thoughts are written all over her face. Right now, she's probably making some wild plans again.
Chu Yue: "..."
Xiao Tao and Chun Xia Qiu were both helpless. The Empress was truly under His Majesty's complete control, but His Majesty also genuinely doted on the Imperial Concubine.
……
When Chu Yue was seven months pregnant, her belly was already very big, and she often felt very tired after walking just a few steps.
The emperor's brow never relaxed as he watched her like this, and he wished he could suffer in her place.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine, please don't frown." Chu Yue was truly helpless; she wasn't feeling unwell at all, but the emperor just seemed extremely worried.
"My beloved concubine, you have truly suffered." The emperor felt deeply sorry for her, and even holding her in his arms, he felt uneasy.
Chu Yue leaned in and kissed him: "If Your Majesty feels sorry for me, why don't you take me to the national treasury? I have no idea what's inside."
"When did my beloved concubine become such a money-grubber?" the emperor said, returning her kiss.
"I'm just curious," Chu Yue said, slightly dodging him.
She is now pregnant, and the emperor dares not touch her. He often endures it to the point of bulging veins, yet he still insists on being close to her and holding her tightly.
"It's too late today, I'll take you tomorrow, and you can have anything you like."
The emperor's breathing grew heavier, and he was captivated by the sweet fragrance emanating from the person in his arms.
"Your Majesty...be careful of the prince." Chu Yue pushed him away.
The emperor froze instantly, his hot body enveloping her, his eyes already filled with lust.
"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything rash," the emperor said, calming his breathing as he reassured her.
Chu Yue nestled in his arms. Listening to his hurried breathing, she whispered, "I know."
The emperor was deeply in love with her.
……
Chu Yue would occasionally cry out in the delivery room, but each cry only made the emperor more anxious.
Even though she has the tools, she can't just go in and give birth right away; she has to call out every now and then.
"Ah..." Chu Yue's face turned red, and then she cried out loudly.
"Your Majesty, push harder..."
"..."
The emperor, who was outside, nearly collapsed upon hearing the sound; it felt as if the sky had fallen, leaving him breathless.
Just as the emperor was about to faint from the strain, the sound of a baby crying came from inside.
"Her Majesty has given birth!"
"It's a prince!"
The midwife and the maidservant came outside, beaming with joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on the birth of the prince!"
The emperor then felt alive again. He carried the child inside, but the smell of blood made him even more worried about the imperial concubine.
"Quickly tidy up the Imperial Concubine. I will take her back to the main hall."
It's so stuffy here, the Imperial Concubine can't stand it.
When Chu Yue woke up, she was already back in the main hall, feeling refreshed, though she still had some lingering pain.
"My beloved consort, you're awake. Come, come and see the prince." The emperor held the child and stayed by her side.
Chu Yue looked over; the child was wrinkled and had his eyes tightly closed, hardly...cute.
"It will be fine in a while; babies are like this right after birth." The emperor looked at the child, growing more and more fond of him.
Chu Yue was too weak to speak, so she nodded weakly and fell asleep again.
When the baby turned one month old, he was already chubby and fair-skinned. Chu Yue held him in her arms, loving him dearly, kissing his forehead and his little hands.
The emperor, watching from the side, felt uneasy. He wished the imperial concubine would be so affectionate towards him.
"My beloved consort, the prince is asleep. Have someone take him away." Finally, after the child fell asleep, the emperor reached out and took the child, handing him to the wet nurse and nannies who were waiting nearby.
Chu Yue glared at him. She knew exactly what the emperor was thinking. The closer the full moon got, the more intense his gaze became, as if he wanted to devour her.
"Why are you looking at me like that, my beloved consort?" The emperor moved closer to her and couldn't help but start touching her.
"Your Majesty...you..." Chu Yue couldn't bring herself to say it, so she turned her head away and remained silent.
"It seems my beloved consort knows what I'm thinking. That's perfect. I won't hold back any longer."
The emperor's breathing quickened. He picked her up and placed her on the bed, not wanting to hold back for even a second longer, and impatiently covered her with his body.
Chu Yue: "..."
"Tomorrow, I will issue an edict to elevate the Imperial Concubine to Empress and my son to Crown Prince."
The emperor's hoarse, heavy breathing enveloped Chu Yue, leaving her nowhere to hide.
"Thank you... Your Majesty..." Chu Yue's breathing was already unsteady.
"I will get what I want."
"..."
