EBE Chapter 112 The Ruthless and Cold-Hearted Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 10
Chapter 112 The Ruthless and Cold-Hearted Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 10
After this incident, everyone in the Eastern Palace calmed down, and Chu Yue returned to Ningyu Pavilion to recuperate.
The Crown Princess also stayed obediently in her palace to recuperate.
After the Crown Prince recovered, he began to accompany Emperor Jingyuan to and from the court again, and he reviewed some important memorials.
Chu Yue stayed in Ningyu Pavilion, checking the favorability rating, which was currently at 35%.
Xiao Tao had told her how the Crown Prince treated the Crown Princess that day.
I never expected the Crown Prince to be so ruthless towards women. It seems I need to hurry up and get things moving.
"Liangdi, don't sit in the wind, you'll catch a cold." Xiaotao took the cloak and tied it around her neck.
Chu Yue had been sitting by the window for a while, her eyes constantly looking outside.
She gently shook her head: "Has His Highness returned?"
"It should be soon," Xiao Tao replied.
Chu Yue stood up, took off her cloak and handed it to Xiao Tao: "Come with me for a walk."
Since returning from Chengming Hall last time, the Crown Prince has not summoned her.
Xiao Tao put down her cloak and helped her out.
The East Palace courtyard has exquisite pavilions and buildings, and the scenery in the front yard is also exceptional.
Chu Yue smiled slightly as she carefully admired the unique scenery before her.
The Crown Prince hurried back to his residence. He was quite tired and almost fell asleep in the carriage.
Emperor Jingyuan valued him highly, and had only temporarily suspended his administration due to his injury.
Now that he has recovered, his father has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility again.
Upon entering the East Palace, he saw Consort Chu admiring the scenery in the courtyard.
Hearing a slight noise, Chu Yue turned around, a smile instantly spreading across her face. She stepped forward and said, "This concubine greets Your Highness..."
The crown prince said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"
Chu Yue whispered, "This concubine... will wait for Your Highness here."
"What are you waiting for me for?"
"This concubine... just wanted to pay her respects to Your Highness." Chu Yue lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes trembling.
The Crown Prince glanced at her twice and said, "Go to Ningyu Pavilion." Then he walked ahead on his own.
Chu Yue followed behind.
When His Highness the Crown Prince arrived at Ningyu Pavilion, the palace servants immediately sprang into action.
Chu Yue stood cautiously to the side, unsure if what happened last time had angered the Crown Prince.
But she was also in a difficult and aggrieved position, as she could not disobey the Crown Princess's order.
However, the fact that the Crown Prince personally punished the Crown Princess shows that he wasn't that angry.
More than half a month has passed now, and she's willing to come to Ningyuxuan again, so I guess she's no longer angry.
The crown prince looked at the cautious woman beside him with some displeasure. Wasn't she quite bold in front of him?
She had just been waiting for him outside, and now that he was here, she just stood there, not saying a word.
The tea in his hand had no taste at all, so the prince slammed it down, making a loud noise.
Chu Yue trembled slightly and looked at the Crown Prince: "Your Highness..." What's wrong?
The crown prince remained silent.
Chu Yue stepped forward, poured tea herself, and with her slender hands, picked up the teacup and handed it to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness... please have some tea."
The prince's gaze fell on those slender, white fingers that seemed to glow. It was that same soft, boneless hand that had last roamed across his chest, igniting his passion even more.
The prince coughed lightly, took the bottle, and sipped it.
Chu Yue, with her keen perception, took it again and gently put it down.
He then handed over a handkerchief: "Your Highness... it's clean, please wipe your hands."
The prince accepted it, and the alluring fragrance wafted into his nose, bringing him comfort.
"Are you feeling better?" The Crown Prince's deep voice carried an invisible pressure.
Chu Yue whispered, "It's all better now."
It was just an ordinary contraceptive soup; she only made it seem so terrifying because she used props.
With the medication available, her health is very good.
The Crown Prince didn't speak again, and Chu Yue didn't ask any more questions. She served him until he finished his meal and saw that he still didn't seem to be leaving.
Chu Yue said softly, "Your Highness... I'll go wash up first."
"Hmm." The Crown Prince was sparing with his words.
Xiao Tao helped Chu Yue into the inner room, and she lowered her voice: "Lady, Your Highness is going to rest here."
Chu Yue sensed a hint of excitement in his voice, and whispered, "It should be."
Xiao Tao quickly finished bathing her, but it would take time to completely dry her hair, so it was barely dry. Her long, wet hair made her figure look even more exquisite.
When Chu Yue came out, the Crown Prince was still sitting there reading a book, which meant he really intended to stay.
The prince looked up and saw the woman standing there like a lotus emerging from the water, looking at him with some trepidation.
He stayed, and she was unhappy?
She had no choice but to be unhappy.
The crown prince, his face slightly grim, got up to take a bath.
Chu Yue bit her lip, her brows furrowed. She was truly unpredictable; last time she had clearly shown some tenderness.
After some time apart, he's become indifferent again.
Sitting down by the bed, Chu Yue adjusted her clothes, frowned, and looked down at what Xiao Tao had dressed her in—it was so see-through and had so little fabric.
The more she tried to explain, the more coy and evasive she seemed, so Chu Yue simply stopped and sat there with her back straight.
When the prince came out, he was only wearing a casual robe, and water droplets slid down his chest.
Chu Yue quickly stood up: "Your Highness..."
The prince squinted at her. Was the woman deliberately trying to seduce him? She wasn't like this just now. Now her fair and smooth shoulders were exposed, and her semi-transparent gauze dress was hanging precariously on her arms.
Chu Yue didn't understand why his expression had darkened again. Humph, men are so fickle.
"Your Highness... I'm all better now. Thank you so much for taking care of me last time." Chu Yue came to him and spoke softly, her voice melodious and pleasant.
Seeing her like this, the Crown Prince's anger flared. He wrapped his large hand around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms: "Tell me, how are you going to thank me?"
Chu Yue hesitated, "This concubine... embroiders a sachet for Your Highness."
"It's okay."
"What does Your Highness like?" He didn't even look at the sachet.
"Whatever I like, Consort Chu is willing to give it to me?" The Crown Prince gently stroked her back.
Chu Yue trembled slightly: "This concubine... will obey Your Highness."
The crown prince slightly curled the corners of his lips, then picked the person up in his arms, his voice a little hoarse: "Then you're not allowed to refuse me later."
Chu Yue blushed and bit her lip, refusing to speak.
The prince put the person down, looked at the rosy and alluring lips, and no longer suppressed himself, he followed his heart and slowly kissed her.
It's been a long time since I last touched her. Firstly, I haven't had the time, and secondly, the imperial physician told me to rest for a few more days.
That's why I didn't see her.
Unexpectedly, this silly woman couldn't resist waiting for her first.
She is, after all, his woman, so it's alright for the Crown Prince to show her some pity.
Chu Yue's soft, boneless hand climbed onto his shoulder, causing the Crown Prince to stiffen.
"If you've stirred up trouble, you have to be able to handle it." The prince's hoarse voice revealed his patience.
Chu Yue buried her face in his chest, responding silently.
Seeing how obedient and gentle she was, the Crown Prince felt even more at ease and softened his movements even more.
Springtime atmosphere filled the tent...
