Chapter 136 The Deeply Affectionate and Obsessive Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 13
Xiao Mansion
"What did you say!" Xiao Yan raised her voice in disbelief, looking at Xing'er with a gloomy face.
Xing'er trembled like a leaf: "The person I went to look for... hasn't returned."
Xiao Yan felt a sense of panic. Her father was going to pick up Chu Yue today, and she wondered how things were on the estate.
But she would never allow that woman to come back and take her mother's place.
Father's only wife is Mother; he can forget about any other woman.
"Go and check... what's going on over there, but don't let anyone find out." Xiao Yan looked at Xing'er seriously.
Xing'er's voice trembled: "I understand... Miss."
Xiao Yu has thought things through these past few days. The deceased are gone, and we should cherish the living. Chu Yue is already his wife and is wholeheartedly devoted to this family, so he will bring her back and live a good life with her.
Thinking of Chu Yue's stunning beauty, gentle nature, and dependence on him as her husband, Xiao Yu felt increasingly sorry for her.
Since his wife left, he had not felt the tenderness of being cared for and loved for a long time.
Although he is going to accept new people, he will not forget his past with his wife; he just needs to keep it in his heart.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yu was even more eager to bring Chu Yue back immediately, so he decided to bring her back first and then have a proper talk with Xiao Yan.
But Xiao Yan was always watching him, so she naturally knew that he planned to pick up Chu Yue today.
Xiao Yu rushed to the manor outside the city with great anxiety, without stopping along the way. He suddenly realized how much he missed her. He always wore the sachet at his waist, which she had sewn herself.
Xiao Yu was momentarily distracted and fell off his horse. Caught off guard, he fell rather awkwardly. He let out a frustrated sigh, straightened his clothes, and remounted to set off again.
On the estate, Chu Yue was being held tightly in the emperor's arms, unable to move at all.
Since that day when the two made love, the emperor became even more unrestrained. It was incomprehensible why he was so free, coming here in the morning and leaving early the next morning. Every day after that, it was the same.
The emperor doted on her like a precious gem, providing for her every need, and this was the case again at this moment.
"Qingqing, does it still hurt?" The emperor examined her fair neck, his rough hands roaming over her neck. The red marks from last time took several days to fade, and even with the best jade dew ointment, they were still healing slowly.
The emperor felt both distressed and helpless, and personally applied the medicine to her every day, moving with the utmost gentleness.
"Your Majesty... I... am not in pain anymore." Chu Yue was a little afraid of his obsessive possessiveness. He stayed here every day, and she would see him guarding her as soon as she opened her eyes.
"Come back with me, okay?" the emperor asked stubbornly once again.
The reason he comes here every day without stopping is because he's afraid she might do something drastic again, like she did a few days ago.
The emperor did not want to experience the feeling of snatching her back from the jaws of death again.
Chu Yue shook her head weakly: "Your Majesty... I am General Xiao's wife... How can I go back with you?"
"If you're willing, I can immediately order you to divorce!" Although the emperor knew he could do that directly, he still considered Chu Yue's feelings.
Now that the attitude has softened, the emperor is secretly delighted.
If she remains adamant today, he wouldn't mind forcibly taking her back to the palace; she'd have to stay whether he wanted to or not.
"I……"
"Your Majesty... General Xiao... has arrived." Just as Chu Yue was about to speak, Xiao Quanzi announced from outside in a trembling voice.
Chu Yue's face turned deathly pale, and she frantically tried to break free from the emperor's grasp.
The emperor, however, remained unfazed and firmly grasped her slender waist, trapping her on his lap, her soft, trembling body pressed tightly against his broad chest.
"Perfect timing! Let him in!"
Chu Yue, her face pale, looked at him pleadingly: "No...don't..."
"Qingqing, let's settle this today. I'll take you back." The emperor whispered seductively in her ear.
Chu Yue pushed him away: "Your Majesty... I'll talk to the general myself... okay?"
The emperor's face darkened, and the hand holding her waist tightened. He suppressed his displeasure and said, "I forbid it! Stay put and don't move."
Unable to resist, Chu Yue could only lean against him, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Xiao Yu felt uneasy as soon as he entered the manor. He sensed a serious atmosphere and was unfamiliar with the people guarding it.
Could something have happened to her?
"Where is Madam?" Xiao Yu asked the servants.
But no one answered him, as if they couldn't see him.
Xiao Yu walked straight inside, saying as he went, "Madam, I've come to take you back. Let's live a good life together from now on."
"Xiao Qing, come in and speak!" the emperor said with a disdainful sneer.
Xiao Yu was shocked. He thought he had misheard. Otherwise, why would he hear His Majesty's voice here?
Isn't this the estate where his wife lives?
Xiao Yu couldn't believe it. He walked inside, feeling dizzy, only to see a scene that made him want to vomit blood.
The emperor's tall and mighty body held his wife tightly, while Chu Yue's slender and delicate body was imprisoned against the emperor's chest, unable to move.
Xiao Yu's eyes widened, and he struggled to breathe for a long time. His heart ached, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from his throat: "Madam... this is... why...?"
Didn't she consider him her everything?
How did you end up in someone else's arms?
She was so gentle and considerate to herself, so filial to her mother, and even so polite to Yan'er. So why is she acting like this with His Majesty now?
Does she know what she's doing?
"General...I..."
"It's just like what you see. I'm already with Yue'er. She's mine now. If you don't cherish her, I will take good care of her. Here's a divorce agreement. Sign it quickly, and you'll have nothing to do with each other from now on!"
Before Chu Yue could finish speaking, the emperor interrupted her. He looked at Xiao Yu's fake face with impatience. Where was he before? Now he's putting on this act of a love saint!
"No...she is my wife, how can Your Majesty..."
“I will not sign, Madam. Come back with me.” Despite his fear of the emperor’s authority, Xiao Yu did not want to give up.
Chu Yue lowered her head, her face deathly pale, unwilling to face the situation.
"You won't sign? Then you'll be widowed! You don't care about yourself, and you don't care about your family either?"
The emperor was extremely grateful that he possessed supreme power. Even if it was despicable, he could still issue threats, and the other party had no choice but to submit!
Xiao Yu's chest heaved, his eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world for doing this? Forcibly taking my wife, Your Majesty, haven't you thought about what future generations will think..."
"Enough with the nonsense, sign it now!" The emperor was impatient. He was the emperor; how his name was written was up to him!
