Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 306 Ruthless and Cruel Emperor × Runaway Palace Maid 2

"Then tell me, why did you run away?" This was the question the emperor couldn't understand the most. Why didn't you want to stay by his side?

Chu Yue lowered her head, somewhat resistant and unwilling to answer.

"Bring them all here and give them a good beating!" The emperor would not allow anyone to disobey him.

Before Chu Yue could even beg for mercy, Xiao Xuanzi had already left.

"Your Majesty...please do not harm innocent people. This servant is willing to accept punishment..." Chu Yue's legs went weak as she tugged at the emperor's robes and begged.

"You should be glad I didn't have the heart to hurt you, otherwise I would have broken your legs!"

The emperor pulled Chu Yue up, held her tightly in his arms, and sat down with her behind the desk in the main hall.

Chu Yue had just been favored by the emperor and was still weak. She had no strength to struggle and leaned against the emperor's chest, sobbing.

Xiao Xuanzi quickly brought the person over. When Yulan and Yumei saw Xiao Xuanzi, they thought of the consequences, but they did not regret it. For their sister, they would go to great lengths.

But when he saw Chu Yue leaning weakly in the emperor's arms, he was still shocked. She had been captured and brought back to be tortured.

"This servant greets Your Majesty..." Yulan and Yumei knelt on the ground.

Chu Yue struggled: "Magnolia... Jade Plum..."

Her painful sobs were all her fault.

"Fight right here! Let's see who dares to let my woman escape!"

The emperor felt a surge of rage when he recalled how Chu Yue had escaped, and declared that she would rather die than leave without his permission.

Yulan and Yumei shuddered violently, their faces turning deathly pale.

"No...no." Chu Yue struggled and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please don't hit me..."

"Hit me...it's all my fault..."

Xiao Xuanzi was torn between his conscience and his own mind. At this moment, he didn't know what to do and could only stand there.

The emperor looked at Chu Yue: "I'm giving you one more chance. Why did you run away?"

Chu Yue froze instantly, tears streaming down her face silently.

"Won't talk?" the emperor said coldly, "Beat me!"

"I'll talk, I'll talk..." Chu Yue's face was pale: "Don't hit me... don't hit me."

Yulan and Yumei also choked up, too frightened to even beg for mercy.

"To be honest!" The emperor looked at the woman in his arms who was crying uncontrollably, and hardened his heart. He did not believe that she did not know his feelings and dared to run away!

When the emperor was down on his luck, he couldn't bear to touch her. He was only waiting for the day when he could ascend to a high position and stand at the peak with her. But she wanted to escape!

"I...this servant...is unworthy of Your Majesty..." Chu Yue stammered, unable to finish her sentence.

The emperor's face turned cold: "Say that again?"

"Your Majesty has so many women around you, one more won't make a difference... Can't I just stay far away?" Chu Yue said, choking back tears as if she had nothing to lose.

"You!" The emperor raised his arm angrily. What nonsense was she spouting!

Chu Yue's face paled, and she closed her eyes, waiting for the slap to fall.

The palace servants inside the hall were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and Xiao Xuanzi was no exception.

But after a long while, no slapping sounded. Chu Yue tremblingly opened her eyes and saw the emperor staring at her with deep, dark eyes.

Chu Yue was so frightened that she slowed her breathing.

The emperor was furious and wanted to teach this audacious woman a lesson.

But this woman said he had so many women, that's why she wanted to run away?

Forget about whether they're a good match or not; the real issue is that she's jealous.

Perhaps this thought calmed the emperor's anger somewhat: "I don't have many women."

In order to gain this position, he had to make some sacrifices and agree to the conditions set by Prime Minister Xiao and General Chen.

He bestowed the titles of Empress Xiao and Consort Chen upon their daughters, but none of that mattered most. His heart was only with this little palace maid, who had stayed by his side through his time of misfortune and oppression.

"This servant knows everything..." Chu Yue had overheard it yesterday, which was why she mustered up the courage to run away. Now, she shook her head, crying, "Your Majesty... please don't hit them... hit me instead..."

"Will you run away again?" The emperor stared intently at Chu Yue, not missing any change in her expression.

Chu Yue trembled slightly: "I won't dare anymore... I won't run away."

The emperor's expression softened slightly: "Xiao Xuanzi, go and convey the imperial decree, bestowing upon Chu Yue the title of Consort 'Zhen' and granting her the Yaohua Palace."

"Yes... Your Majesty." Xiao Xuanzi's back was soaked with sweat; it was a close call, a close call indeed.

"Your Majesty... what about them..." Chu Yue glanced cautiously at Yulan and Yumei.

"He will stay by your side and serve you, to make amends for his past mistakes." The emperor picked up Chu Yue and carried her inside: "All of you, step back!"

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

The imperial decree quickly spread throughout the palace, and the emperor kept Chu Yue with him, not letting her leave again.

Inside the Golden Flower Palace, the Emperor held Chu Yue in his arms, removed her cloak, and gently touched the marks he had left on her body.

Chu Yue still dared not relax. No one could predict the emperor's temper, even after serving him for so long.

The emperor held Chu Yue tightly in his arms, only then did he feel a little more at ease: "My beloved concubine, are you hurt?"

Chu Yue escaped, which infuriated the emperor. He exerted himself forcefully in bed, completely disregarding her feelings.

"No..." Chu Yue answered softly.

"Do you like the title I've given you?"

"like……"

The emperor then revealed a rare faint smile, looked down at the woman in his arms, and leaned down to bite Chu Yue's small lips.

She was the most precious and cherished woman in his life.

When the emperor was down on his luck, he wanted to give up several times and even had suicidal thoughts. It was Chu Yue who mustered up her courage and said, "Your Highness, you will definitely win," which supported the emperor all the way.

The emperor still remembered that although she was terrified, her body was trembling, and her eyes were filled with fear, she still pretended to be strong and encouraged him.

Later, in the emperor's cold and hard heart, only a corner softened for Chu Yue.

"Your Majesty..." The emperor became increasingly out of control with each kiss. As he lingered on Chu Yue's collarbone, Chu Yue pleaded softly, "Your Majesty... I... this servant... is in some pain."

The emperor raised his head, looked at the flustered woman, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips: "From now on, you are no longer a servant, but my Consort Zhen."

"Yes...this servant...I have remembered."

"Stay by my side as before." Although those months were worse than death, the emperor found some comfort in Chu Yue's company.

"Your Majesty, you have the Empress and the Imperial Concubine by your side, but I... can no longer live like before." Chu Yue turned her head away after speaking, not wanting the Emperor to see her sad face.

The emperor's face hardened again. He was useless and had no choice but to agree to the conditions, but he had already done what he promised, and no one could control him anymore.

"If you put away your restless thoughts, then if I say it's possible, then it's possible."

The emperor grabbed her chin and turned her around; Chu Yue's eyes were already red.

"Your Majesty... I am unworthy and unworthy to serve Your Majesty. I can only stay far away and pray for Your Majesty in my heart."

As she spoke, the emperor recalled his time in the Eastern Palace when he was seriously ill. When he awoke, he saw Chu Yue kneeling on the ground praying for him, which made his heart pound.

Later, it was discovered that he had been slapped several times by those damned palace servants while trying to get medicine for him.

The crown prince at the time vowed to ascend to a high position, to protect her, to support her, and to never suffer any more grievances or hardships.
