Chapter 17 The Cold-Hearted Emperor and His Favorite Concubine
The emperor took Chu Yue for two laps and then stopped.
"Now try it yourself, I'm here watching you."
Chu Yue nodded with great confidence; she had already learned it.
With a swift movement, he mounted his horse and looked at the emperor with an air of arrogance.
The emperor couldn't help but chuckle; he was indeed an interesting person.
"Giddy up..." Chu Yue pulled the reins, and the horse slowly galloped off.
The emperor returned to his resting place and sat down, naturally keeping an eye on Consort Chu.
Chu Yue hadn't run for long when she encountered the Imperial Concubine, who was clearly also a little scared as she had just learned how to run.
Upon seeing Chu Yue, the Imperial Concubine tried her best to suppress her fear and said disdainfully, "Riding a horse isn't that difficult. Does Consort Chu really need His Majesty to teach her personally?"
Seeing that the Imperial Concubine's hands were turning white from pulling on the reins, Chu Yue still respectfully said, "This concubine is incompetent and naturally cannot compare to Your Highness..."
"Humph……"
The Imperial Concubine snorted coldly. Consort Chu was just spoiled and arrogant, relying on His Majesty for everything. She was truly useless.
"001, has the Emperor been paying attention to what's happening here?"
"some……"
"001, give the Imperial Concubine and my horse some stimulants, let's see who the Emperor will save..."
If the emperor saves the imperial concubine, and Chu Yue, whose heart is only for the emperor, watches the emperor save the imperial concubine and abandons her, then this will be a tragic love story. She will then severely torment the emperor. If the emperor saves her, her strategy will advance further. Either way, this is what Chu Yue wants to see.
"Don't worry, Yueyue, with me, Linglingyi, here, you won't be in any danger." Linglingyi was a little excited; let's have something exciting!
"bring it on……"
"Be careful, Yueyue..." As soon as Linglingyi finished speaking, the imperial concubine and Chuyue's horses began to become agitated.
The imperial concubine was already terrified. She lost her grip on the reins and cried out in fear, "Help! Help!"
The horse started running uncontrollably, and the imperial concubine was jolted so hard on its back that she almost fell off.
"Ah..." Chu Yue exclaimed in surprise, the horse jolting her so much that she swayed from side to side.
Hearing the commotion and seeing Chu Yue about to fall, the emperor's heart sank, and he shouted angrily, "Quickly, go and save her!"
After saying that, he mounted his horse and galloped away.
"Help!" The imperial concubine was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her hands were scraped raw and bleeding.
Chu Yue noticed that the emperor had arrived, and she cried out in panic, "Your Majesty, help me..."
"His Majesty……"
When people are in danger, they will subconsciously call out the name of the person they trust.
"Your Majesty, save me, save your concubine..." The Imperial Concubine saw the Emperor amidst the jolting and cried out excitedly.
The emperor only saw his beloved concubine, who was completely devoted to him and was now about to fall off her horse.
"Go and rescue the Imperial Concubine!" the Emperor ordered the guards tasked with the rescue.
He had barely finished speaking when Chu Jieyu was thrown off the horse. At the critical moment, the emperor flew over and caught Chu Yue.
Chu Yue's face was deathly pale, her eyes tightly shut, and her lips trembling.
"It's alright, don't be afraid." The emperor held her tightly, still shaken, and couldn't imagine what would have happened to such a delicate girl as Consort Chu after she fell off her horse.
Chu Yue trembled all over, opened her eyes, and weakly called out "Your Majesty" before fainting.
The emperor, with a stern face, carried the person back.
"Your Majesty, please go back. This servant will fetch the imperial physician to examine you..."
When the imperial concubine fell, Xiao Fuzi was thrown over by the guards and placed underneath her.
She had already been helped up, but the Imperial Concubine watched the Emperor carry Consort Chu away, staring intently without making a move.
Xiao Fuzi, enduring her pain, managed to offer a word of advice from the side.
"Hehe..." The imperial concubine laughed self-deprecatingly; the physical pain was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
They were all His Majesty's concubines, yet His Majesty only saved Consort Chu. Was Consort Chu really that good?
The imperial concubine's face turned pale. She also wanted someone to comfort her, instead of enduring the pain alone. Looking at the blood in her palm, the imperial concubine shed tears.
Xiao Fuzi respectfully reached out to help her, and this time the Imperial Concubine did not refuse, enduring the pain as she walked back.
"Your Majesty, Consort Chu has been frightened and injured. She will probably not wake up for a while. I will go and get the medicine, brew it, and send it to you."
"Go back."
"Your subject takes his leave..."
Looking at the frail Consort Chu, the emperor felt a pang of regret; he should have stayed by her side.
Consort Chu is so delicate, she's really going to suffer now.
Her delicate palms were also worn raw, and the emperor dared not hold her hand too tightly, even though the imperial physician had just applied medicine.
Chu Yue felt pain all over her body. She groggily opened her eyes and let out a soft cry: "Hiss..."
"Does it hurt a lot?" the emperor asked immediately when he saw her wake up.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue suddenly remembered that she had almost fallen off her horse. Her eyes filled with tears, and she looked weak, pitiful, and helpless.
"It's alright, it's alright," the emperor comforted her, he was truly frightened.
"Um……"
Chu Yue moved slightly, her palms ached, her body ached, her small face scrunched up, and she bit her lip tightly.
"Your Majesty, may Xiao Tao serve me..."
Her inner thighs were chafed raw from riding the horse, and they were burning with pain.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else that's bothering you? I'll summon the imperial physician."
The emperor was getting anxious. The imperial physician said that Consort Chu had been frightened, and that medicine had been applied to her palms. He had caught her steadily when she fell, and she should not have been injured anywhere else.
He personally comforted her after she was frightened.
"Your Majesty, please...please don't call the imperial physician..." Chu Yue anxiously stopped him.
"What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" Why won't they let us call the imperial physician?
"Your Majesty... I... I've injured my leg... Let Xiao Tao serve me..."
Chu Yue said, biting her lip.
Upon hearing this, the emperor's face darkened. "Damn quack doctor! He couldn't even detect that Consort Chu's leg was injured!"
"Let me see where you are injured," the emperor said, preparing to examine you personally.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue didn't know how to explain, as the emperor's hand had already touched her calf.
The emperor touched her leg, but Chu Jieyu didn't cry out in pain, and there was nothing wrong with her calf. Where exactly was Chu Jieyu injured?
"Consort Chu," the emperor called out in a deep voice as he looked at her.
Chu Yue turned her head away shyly, biting her lip: "Your Majesty... this concubine... my thigh is injured..."
After hearing this, the emperor was stunned for a moment before he realized that Consort Chu was so delicate and had been riding a horse for so long, she must have been injured.
"Lie down first. I will have the imperial physician bring you medicine. Don't be afraid."
The emperor turned and went out, returning shortly after: "Don't be afraid."
Chu Yue nodded, her face pale.
The imperial physician arrived shortly afterward, respectfully handed over the medicine, explained how to use it, and then withdrew.
"Serve your master well."
The emperor spoke to Xiao Tao, and then left.
Xiao Tao quickly helped Chu Yue change clothes and wash up, and applied medicine at the same time.
Chu Yue was in so much pain that her eyes were filled with tears. After the medicine was applied, she was even weaker and lay on the bed, her face extremely pale.
When the emperor entered, he saw Consort Chu lying there weakly and felt a pang of sadness.
"Are you feeling any better?" the emperor asked as he approached her, trying to keep his voice down.
Chu Yue nodded gently: "Much better, thank you, Your Majesty..."
That Consort Chu, so silly, is still thanking him. Sigh.
"Rest for a while, and you'll be fine when you wake up."
"it is good……"
In the last moments before Chu Yue fell asleep, she heard 001's report: "Favorability rating: 45%..."
Not bad either...
