Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 350 Cold-blooded, childless emperor × Pregnant imperial concubine 8

His Majesty dotes on Consort Shu so much, one can only imagine how he will treat the children she gives birth to.

No, she would never allow Consort Shu to rise above her.

"Your Majesty..." Dongxue called out cautiously when she saw that her face looked really bad.

"Dongxue, I'm still feeling a bit unwell. Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Physician Liu to come and take a look at me."

Physician Liu?

He was the best physician in the Imperial Medical Academy, and His Majesty ordered him to take care of Consort Shu's health.

"Your Majesty, you..." Dongxue's face turned pale: "Please don't do anything foolish."

"Since Consort Shu is pregnant, it is only right that I care. I just wanted to ask her about it as well, so that I can do my part for His Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

The Imperial Concubine had no interest in hearing any grand pronouncements. She simply said, "Go quickly. I won't do anything."

Dongxue was half-believing and half-doubting: "Your Majesty..."

The imperial concubine frowned: "Go quickly."

After helping the Imperial Concubine back to Qionghua Palace, Dongxue hurried off.

However, they were unable to bring Physician Liu with them.

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty, Physician Liu said that until Consort Shu gives birth safely, he only needs to take care of Consort Shu."

"During this period, I did not need to go when summoned by anyone, and even the Empress Dowager was taken care of by a different imperial physician."

The imperial concubine sneered, her teeth grinding together: "They really are protective of their concubines!"

"His Majesty has arrived..."

A loud shout came from outside, and the Imperial Concubine, surprised, quickly went out to greet them.

The emperor has arrived.

This was the emperor's third visit to Qionghua Palace.

The imperial concubine, harboring a guilty conscience, feigned indifference: "Your Majesty, this concubine greets you..."

The emperor's cold and gloomy gaze fell upon her. At this moment, the imperial concubine dared not imagine that the emperor had come to her to bestow his favor.

"Your Majesty... what brings you here?"

The imperial concubine felt a little flustered, but she tried her best to calm herself down.

The emperor scrutinized her for a long time before speaking in a deep voice: "Imperial Consort, I do not wish for anything to happen between Consort Shu and the imperial fetus. Do you understand?"

"If you feel tired of being a Noble Consort, I don't mind changing your rank."

"In this palace, it's best not to try anything funny with me. There's nothing I don't know."

"If anything happens to Consort Shu, I will be the first to punish you!"

As he turned to leave, the emperor warned again, "You'd better watch yourself."

The imperial concubine trembled violently, unable to utter a single word. Seeing the emperor about to leave, she disregarded everything else and tried to grab his sleeve: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor subtly avoided the situation and strode away.

The imperial concubine collapsed to the ground, laughing self-deprecatingly: "Haha..."

"Your Majesty..." Dongxue didn't know how to comfort her.

"What right does she have!" The imperial concubine's face was contorted with rage as she pounded her fist on the cold ground. "What right does she have!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, be careful with your hands..." Dongxue stopped her, "Don't hurt yourself, it's not worth it."

"His Majesty actually came to warn me personally for her sake. Is he really that protective?"

"Where exactly does she fall short of me?"

The imperial concubine broke down and wept, covering her face. The emperor wouldn't touch her, and she didn't even have the face to tell anyone.

Now, for the sake of Consort Shu, they've completely torn away any semblance of her status as a Noble Consort.

"My lady..."

The Imperial Concubine cried for a long time. After calming down, she had Dongxue help her with her toilette.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Dongxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dongxue, prepare the tonics and send them to Feng'an Palace."

"Your Majesty..." Dongxue asked in confusion, "Has Your Majesty been traumatized?"

Why would the Imperial Concubine send something to the Consort Shu?

"His Majesty protects Consort Shu and even came to warn me personally, fearing that I might harm Consort Shu."

"Then I'll fawn over her and see how long she can be so smug."

"Yes... Your Majesty." Dongxue hurried over.

In Feng'an Palace, Hongyu looked at the things sent by the Imperial Concubine with great confusion.

They quickly checked the items with Bailu for any abnormalities and immediately had Physician Liu examine them, who said there was nothing wrong.

"Your Highness, why did the Imperial Concubine suddenly send you something?"

What triggered this?

Could it be that they've come up with another insidious scheme to deal with the Empress?

"Let's leave it for now."

The Imperial Concubine only wanted to put on a show, so she couldn't be bothered to deal with her.

She had plenty of good things; the emperor would bestow gifts upon her almost whenever he thought of it, and the empress dowager would also frequently give her gifts.

The storerooms in Feng'an Palace are probably almost full.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hongyu quickly carried a pile of things downstairs and placed them in the far corner of the storeroom.

……

When Chu Yue was more than two months pregnant, she started experiencing morning sickness and couldn't eat anything. Even if she managed to eat something, she would immediately vomit it up.

It made me feel very listless, and I've lost weight in just a few days.

Even Imperial Physician Liu was helpless, as he was under immense pressure every day due to His Majesty's cold demeanor.

The only option was to prepare a medicinal diet for Chu Yue to eat along with an appetizing meal.

Fortunately, things have improved somewhat. Chu Yue is vomiting less, and she can still eat light meals.

"Your Majesty, you've finally gotten a little better, so please rest for a while."

Hongyu was really worried about her, and just as she was starting to feel better, she actually made the clothes that the little prince would wear in the future herself.

"I'm fine, let's get started early and make more." Chu Yue weakly curved the corners of her mouth.

No sooner had she finished speaking than the Emperor entered, taking a few steps to stand before her: "My beloved consort, why must you personally handle these matters?"

"What I made is different," Chu Yue said softly, putting down her things.

Hongyu silently moved the fabric further away.

"I won't wrong my son." You can imagine how much this child is cherished.

"I know, I just wanted to make some clothes for my son before he comes out," Chu Yue said softly with a smile. "My embroidery skills are very good."

The emperor felt a pang of sympathy upon hearing this, for Consort Shu came from a humble background and had to be able to do everything.

"My beloved consort, you need not trouble yourself. I will have someone prepare the best for our son."

"Alright...then I won't do it, let Your Majesty prepare it."

The emperor cupped her small face in his hands: "My beloved concubine has lost weight."

"Your Majesty, I will only get fatter, not thinner." As my belly grows bigger, I'll get even fatter.

"She looks good even when she's chubby."

Chu Yue couldn't help but laugh: "How could Your Majesty be so good at coaxing people?"

"It's the truth." The emperor hugged her tightly and affectionately pecked Chu Yue's little mouth: "When our son comes out, I will teach him to practice swordsmanship."

Chu Yue: "..."

"Your Majesty... Your son will get tired."

"Boys naturally have to work harder," the emperor coaxed.

"I am certain that I will give birth to a princess."

"The princess also needs to train so that she can discipline her husband when he misbehaves in the future."

Chu Yue: "..."

Power truly suffocates people.

"Your Majesty, young women shouldn't be involved in fighting and killing," Chu Yue advised intentionally.

The emperor disagreed: "It's alright, girls also need to practice more."

Chu Yue couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had no choice but to shut up.

"Come, let me get you something to eat." This was the emperor's biggest worry every day, and he just wanted her to eat more.

"it is good……"

……

Consort Shu of Feng'an Palace is pregnant. Seeing the Emperor's favor, he not only dotes on her, but he has never summoned any other concubines to serve him in bed.

Even the Imperial Concubine could do nothing but watch helplessly as Consort Shu monopolized His Majesty's affections.

"Your Majesty..." Consort Wang complained, "This Consort Shu is almost two months pregnant, how can she still serve His Majesty?"

The emperor only favored Consort Shu, which the other women couldn't understand, so they gathered in the Imperial Garden to chat.

The Imperial Concubine said wearily, "What can we do if we can't? His Majesty is determined to protect her."

Consort Li chimed in at the opportune moment: "She actually feels perfectly justified in making His Majesty suffer like this."
