Chapter 42 The Cruel and Impotent Emperor and His Favorite Concubine 15
Three days later, the emperor did not respond.
Four days later, the emperor did not respond.
Five days later, the emperor still did not react.
On the sixth day, Physician Chen knelt on the ground, pleading with tears streaming down his face, "Your Majesty, in consideration of my many years of loyalty, please spare my family. I am willing to atone with my death."
His inability to cure His Majesty is a sign of his incompetence.
"Get out! All of you, get out of here!" the emperor roared, and Physician Chen scrambled out of the palace.
Xiao Lezi subtly moved to the side; based on his experience, His Majesty was about to go berserk again.
"Bring the wine." The emperor seemed to have given up all hope. He wanted to numb himself. Before the imperial concubine, he could pretend that nothing had happened. He had always been like that.
But after having a concubine and living a life of perfect harmony with her, the emperor could never accept going back to the way things were before.
He even felt that it was divine retribution for his hesitation in front of Consort De that day.
He originally had no hope of getting better, but the Imperial Concubine cured him. However, because he wanted to test whether he would react to other people, he wronged the Imperial Concubine, so Heaven returned him to his former state.
"Your Majesty...drinking is bad for your health."
"I ordered you to bring me wine!" the emperor roared.
Xiao Lezi had no choice but to go and get the wine.
The emperor was in his bedchamber, drinking jar after jar of liquor, despite the burning pain in his throat.
But none of this could compare to the pain in his heart. The imperial concubine wanted to escape from him, and it was he who hurt her.
Why is Consort Ke so heartless? She won't even come to see him or say a word to him.
The emperor grew angrier the more he thought about it. If it weren't for his health condition, he and the imperial concubine wouldn't have ended up like this.
The emperor was so enraged that he almost lost his mind, and the wine jars were smashed all over the ground.
Seeing that things were going badly, Xiao Lezi turned around and ran out.
Inside the Phoenix Palace, Chu Yue was listening to Ling Lingyi's report: "Yueyue, the favorability rating is only forty percent..."
"You dog of a man..." Chu Yue cursed him angrily. The emperor was being stubborn and refused to make up with her, and now he was acting all wronged?
"..."
"What is the emperor doing?"
"Drowning one's sorrows in alcohol..."
"Humph……"
"Your Majesty, Xiao Lezi is here," Xiao Tao said softly as she entered.
"Let him in."
Xiao Lezi came in almost crying: "Your Highness, please go and see His Majesty. He has drunk a lot of wine, and I'm afraid it will harm His Majesty's health."
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that His Majesty doesn't want to see me..."
Chu Yue looked troubled.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has his reasons. He truly cares for you. Please go and see him..."
Xiao Lezi was at her wit's end; who would want to live such a miserable life?
“Your Majesty… If Your Majesty had other concubines, I would accept it. But Your Majesty despises me because of another woman. What can I do?”
Chu Yue choked up as she spoke, her pitiful and submissive appearance heartbreaking to see.
Xiao Lezi quickly urged, "Your Majesty, since you truly love His Majesty, please go and see him. His Majesty is waiting for you, really..."
"I don't believe it..."
"Your Majesty, I beg you, His Majesty's health will suffer if he continues to drink like this..."
Xiao Lezi panicked.
"Alright, get up first, I'll go take a look..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..." Xiao Lezi felt as if she had found a savior.
After all that fuss, Chu Yue tidied up a bit, then instructed Xiao Lezi to bring some hangover soup before heading towards the emperor.
Upon arriving at the emperor's sleeping quarters, Xiao Lezi and Xiao Tao dutifully stood guard outside.
Chu Yue carried the hangover soup, pushed open the palace door, and quietly walked in.
"001, let the emperor recover. It's just right to give him a hangover soup."
"Okay!"
The emperor slumped to the ground, the blinding sunlight streaming in, and he squinted uncomfortably.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects..." Chu Yue put down the food box a few steps away from him and bowed slightly.
Has the Imperial Concubine arrived?
The emperor thought he was drunk and dreaming, otherwise why would the imperial concubine come over?
She finally decided to come and see him!
The emperor had forgotten that he was the one who first became awkward, abandoning the imperial concubine and refusing to see her.
"The Imperial Concubine?" The Emperor was already drunk.
Chu Yue approached him, presented him with a bowl of hangover soup, and gently blew on it: "Your Majesty, you've had too much to drink, please have some hangover soup..."
The emperor stared at the blurry figure before him, straining to make out that it was the Imperial Concubine. Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "The Imperial Concubine has come to see me?"
"Yueyue, the favorability score is fifty-eight..."
"Fifty-nine..."
"sixty……"
"Sixty-one..."
"Sixty-five... My favorability rating has skyrocketed again! Yay!" 001 cheered excitedly.
"Your Majesty, didn't you refuse to see me? I'm so heartbroken, and Your Majesty... won't you even come to comfort me..."
Chu Yue felt wronged and sad, but she still gently fed him the hangover soup.
The emperor's tall frame swayed slightly. He only heard the imperial concubine's sorrow, and his heart ached: "Yue'er, don't cry. It's not that I didn't come, it's just that..."
Despite being drunk, the emperor was afraid to reveal his condition and subconsciously stopped talking.
Chu Yue slightly pursed her lips. Even when drunk, she's this cautious?
"Your Majesty, please drink it, you'll feel better after you drink it..."
The emperor murmured, "I will never get better, never again..."
After feeding him, Chu Yue gave him a quick wash and helped him to the dragon bed: "Your Majesty, please rest. I will take my leave now..."
"No, I forbid you to leave, Consort. I order you to stay."
When the emperor heard that the imperial concubine was leaving, he felt sad and held her hand tightly.
Chu Yue stumbled and fell onto his chest.
The emperor, still half-asleep, held the soft, delicate body in his arms, subconsciously thinking it was all a dream. He instinctively touched the person in his embrace.
Gradually, the familiar feeling surged up again, and the emperor was extremely excited. Even if it was just a dream, even if he could have the imperial concubine again, he would do anything he wanted after waking up.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue tried to push him away, but the emperor's brute force was too much for her to handle.
The emperor was so excited he was almost going crazy. He slurred, "My beloved concubine, Yue'er, let me kiss you. I thought... I would never have you again..."
"Your Majesty...didn't you abandon me for another woman?"
Chu Yue sobbed softly.
The emperor panicked: "Yue'er, my darling, I only have you, and from now on, I'll only have you, okay?"
Only the Imperial Concubine, for my entire life only the Imperial Concubine.
"Your Majesty wouldn't lie to me, would you?"
"No...never again."
The emperor had no interest in saying anything else; he only wanted to prove his abilities.
On the spacious dragon bed, behind the gauze curtains, one could vaguely see shadowy figures moving about.
……
next day
The emperor was awakened by a headache. He was about to reach out and rub his aching head when he found that he couldn't move his arm because something was pressing down on it.
He turned his head in confusion and saw a woman leaning against his chest, sleeping in his arms.
The emperor was startled; everything from the previous night flooded his mind: the imperial concubine had come to see him and fed him a hangover soup.
Then, he...
The emperor was overjoyed again. Had he favored the imperial concubine last night? The emperor suppressed his inner elation and stared intently at the person in his arms.
On the Consort's slender, smooth back, there were clearly red marks, and the Emperor knew perfectly well how they got there.
After trying it out, the emperor could hardly believe that he could regain his former glory!
He shouldn't have argued with the Imperial Concubine, causing her to suffer. The Imperial Concubine could have easily cured him.
"Mmm..." Chu Yue let out a soft moan.
The emperor turned her around, embracing her, and said gently, "Yue'er, are you awake?"
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue's voice was hoarse and weak.
Although the emperor felt sorry for her, he was also glad that he could love his concubine so much again.
"My dear Yue'er, let me rub your breasts..." The emperor was incredibly gentle. He never wanted to go back to the old days; he wanted his concubine even better.
"Your Majesty...do you still loathe me..." Chu Yue whispered, biting her lip.
The emperor felt a pang of pain. The concubine's lips were slightly swollen, and her body bore the marks of being cherished. At this moment, she lay weakly in his arms, asking him with a wronged expression if he still hated her.
This made the emperor deeply regret his treatment of her: "No, it will never happen, Yue'er, don't worry."
"really?"
"A word spoken by the Emperor is as good as his bond."
"Okay..." Chu Yue weakly closed her eyes, too weak to speak further.
The emperor felt sorry for her and held her and comforted her for a long time...
001 was checking the favorability rating in the system again. When she saw that the progress had reached eighty, she opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate.
It will be much easier after that.
