Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 162 The Rough-Hearted Emperor and the Delicate Imperial Concubine 20 (The End)

A few months later

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is about to give birth!" Xiao Caizi shouted loudly, his tone filled with terror.

The emperor's legs immediately went weak, and he slid off the dragon throne. He had no time to think; the only thought in his mind was that the imperial concubine was about to give birth.

Xiao Caizi ran into the hall and rushed to the high platform: "Your Majesty, someone from Yufu Palace has sent word that the Imperial Concubine is about to give birth."

The emperor was sweating profusely with anxiety; he had heard it!

"Help me up! Quickly, to the Jade Lotus Palace!" The emperor's legs were weak, and his voice was shaky.

Xiao Caizi then noticed that something was wrong with the emperor. "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"My legs are a little weak, please help me over." The emperor stood up with difficulty: "How is the Imperial Concubine?"

She was clearly not due to give birth yet, and the imperial physician said there were still a few days left, so how did she go ahead of schedule?

I should have known he would stay by her side every step of the way.

"Your Majesty, the Empress suddenly went into labor, but fortunately, preparations were made properly, and she has been taken to the delivery room. The Empress will be alright."

The emperor comforted himself in this way, and with Xiao Caizi's help, he headed towards the Jade Hibiscus Palace.

Upon arriving at Yufu Palace, the emperor heard the Consort's cries of pain, which made his legs weaker and his heart leap into his throat.

"How is the Imperial Concubine?"

The emperor wanted to go in, but Xiao Caizi blocked the palace door tightly: "Your Majesty, you can't go in. The Imperial Concubine will be alright."

Palace servants carrying water were running back and forth. The emperor stopped one of them and asked, "How is the Imperial Concubine?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is fine. It's just that childbirth will take some time. Please don't worry."

The palace servants were terrified. His Majesty's face was grim; it was too frightening.

"...Ah!" Another cry of pain struck the emperor's heart.

He stood there, his hands clenched into fists, staring motionlessly at the palace doors that opened and then closed again.

"Send someone to inform the Prime Minister to have his wife come to the palace."

The emperor had planned to send someone to the prime minister's residence to invite his wife to stay in the palace after he finished his work today, so that she could keep the imperial concubine company.

Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine was about to give birth.

"Yes, this servant will go right away."

As darkness fell, the Imperial Concubine's cries grew hoarse, and the Emperor was sweating profusely with anxiety, the sound of a baby crying finally came from inside.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations! The Imperial Concubine has given birth to a newborn prince. Mother and child are safe and sound." The nanny handed the swaddled baby to the child.

The emperor's hands trembled slightly as he took the child and looked down at him. The child was rosy-cheeked and had his eyes tightly closed, making it impossible to tell who he resembled.

"Take good care of the little prince." The emperor handed the child to the nanny and hurried inside.

"Your Majesty, the inside hasn't been cleaned up yet, you can't go there!"

Ignoring the palace servants' advice, the emperor came to the bedside. Looking at the weak and frail imperial concubine, he felt a lump in his throat and his eyes sting with tears.

"My beloved concubine," the emperor called softly, but Chu Yue was exhausted and had already fallen asleep.

Even the emperor felt stuffy in the palace, so he wrapped Chu Yue up and carried her back to the main hall.

He then placed the child next to her and stayed by their side.

Chu Yue woke up as it was getting dark. She felt pain in her lower body and remembered that she had suddenly had abdominal pain that morning and was later told that she was going into labor.

She was in so much pain, but luckily there was 001. To make it look like she was doing something, she shouted a few times.

Where are the children?

Chu Yue endured her discomfort and searched the palace. She finally found the child sleeping beside her, and His Majesty was also lying on the edge of the bed. He must have been tired and had fallen asleep.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue realized her voice was hoarse as soon as she spoke.

The emperor woke up immediately. He was worried about the mother and son and hadn't been sleeping soundly, so he woke up at the first sound.

"My beloved concubine, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?" The emperor sat down by the bedside and asked softly.

Chu Yue shook her head: "Your Majesty, I'd like some water..."

The emperor felt sorry for her; her voice was so hoarse, so he personally poured water for her and fed her.

She had previously dismissed all the palace servants for fear of disturbing her rest.

"Drink slowly, my beloved concubine. You've worked so hard to give birth to my son."

The emperor wiped her mouth and touched her pale face.

"I'm not tired, it's all what I should do," Chu Yue said weakly.

"The Prime Minister's wife has already entered the palace. If you wish to see her, have someone summon her."

Chu Yue's eyes brightened slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Seeing that she seemed to be in better spirits, the emperor sent someone to summon Lady Li.

"Yue'er, are you alright?" Li Shi choked up as soon as she saw her daughter's condition. She hadn't been able to stay by her daughter's side during childbirth, and Yue'er must have been terrified.

Chu Yue shook her head: "Mother, I'm fine. Don't worry, where's my brother?"

"He's tired from playing and has fallen asleep. We'll bring him to see you when you're feeling better."

Looking at her daughter and grandson, Madam Li couldn't stop smiling: "Yue'er, look, the little prince is very well-behaved."

Chu Yue looked at him weakly and gave him a loving smile.

"Moon, you should rest well first. The postpartum period is the most important. Sleep peacefully."

Li looked at her with doting eyes.

Chu Yue fell asleep almost the instant she finished speaking.

During her postpartum period, the emperor instructed the imperial physicians to carefully nurture Consort Chu Yue's health. She was well cared for; her complexion became much rosier, and she even gained some weight, no longer as weak as before.

After staying in the palace for half a month, Lady Li returned home with her youngest son.

Chu Yue was being cared for and served by several maids, nannies, and wet nurses, so she didn't have much to do.

Having finally finished her postpartum confinement, Chu Yue sat in the bathtub and sighed comfortably. Although she usually washed and groomed herself, she had never been this thorough.

"Your Highness, don't soak for too long. Let me help you up."

Xiao Tao took the nightgown and wrapped it around her.

Chu Yue felt much lighter. When she came to the outer room, the emperor had already arrived and was holding the little one.

"His Majesty…"

The emperor looked up at her, a fiery glint in his eyes: "My beloved concubine, come here."

Chu Yue walked over and looked at the little guy with him. He was sleeping soundly, chubby and fair-skinned, and the emperor adored him.

The emperor ordered the child to be taken away, and he held Chu Yue in his arms, saying, "My beloved concubine, I have taken my medicine."

Ok?

Chu Yue wondered, what medicine did he drink?

"Tonight, I will ease the pain of longing for you, Consort." The emperor's large hands roamed over her body.

Chu Yue: "..."

He actually went and drank it.

"His Majesty……"

The emperor picked her up and carried her to the bed. He did so quickly that soon, soft moans and whimpers filled the hall.

A long time later

The emperor held the soft, smooth imperial concubine with satisfaction and said in a low, hoarse voice, "My beloved concubine, eat more of this in the future. It feels so good to touch you."

Chu Yue: "..."

She has gained quite a bit of weight.

I couldn't bear to eat any more.

"Your Majesty... will find it offensive." Who doesn't appreciate beauty? Chu Yue said sweetly, exhausted from all the commotion.

The emperor assured him, "I will not, never."

"Forever is a long way off. Can Your Majesty achieve that?"

"Of course, Your Highness should consider it carefully."

"Your Majesty, please take a bath, I feel unwell..."

"Okay..." The emperor served her with great pleasure.
