Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 305 Ruthless and Cruel Emperor × Runaway Palace Maid 1

"Quickly, quickly, close the city gates!"

"His Majesty has ordered the city gates to be closed!"

Xiao Xuanzi was out of breath from running. Seeing that the city gate was still open, he shouted anxiously, "Quick, close it!"

The guards at the city gate immediately closed the gate, and the emperor's imperial carriage followed.

Everyone knelt on the ground with their heads bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty..."

Xiao Xuanzi retreated behind the emperor, still panting heavily. Luckily, he was young; if he were old and frail, he would have died.

The emperor sat on his imperial carriage, his merciless gaze sweeping over the crowd. The next moment, the emperor alighted from the carriage, and the crowd lowered their heads even further.

"Yueyue, he's here, what should we do?" Linglingyi fluttered its wings, somewhat worried about Chuyue's safety.

"Don't shake, I'm scared too..." Chu Yue lowered her head, her body trembling uncontrollably.

The new mission dimension has been here for several months. When I arrived, it was right when the original owner was almost kicked to death by the former crown prince, who is now the emperor.

The crown prince was framed at the time, and the late emperor almost deposed him and confined him to the Eastern Palace.

The crown prince at the time couldn't accept all of this and almost went mad. The original owner was just a palace maid who was sent to serve the emperor, but the emperor would kick anyone he saw. The original owner was kicked and was left with only one breath. When Chu Yue came over, her chest was still very painful.

In order to win the emperor's trust, Chu Yue could only serve him with utmost care.

However, the Crown Prince at the time was short-tempered and ruthless, and Chu Yue suffered a lot. The Eastern Palace was a hell at that time.

Her favorability rating was once zero, and even negative at times. Until one time, the emperor got caught in the rain, and coupled with mental torment, he fell seriously ill. Chu Yueyi took care of him for two days and two nights without even taking care of him, and only then did the crown prince show a little improvement.

He kept Chu Yue by his side to serve him. Although his words were still harsh, Chu Yue understood his fall from heaven to hell and silently endured his cold words.

After spending several months together, Chu Yue won the Crown Prince's trust, and his favorability towards her increased by 30%.

Chu Yue's gentle and considerate demeanor showed signs of mending the Crown Prince's heart, which had been shattered by the blows.

Finally, the late emperor died suddenly, and his sons fought for the throne. It was a fierce battle, but in the end, the crown prince of the Eastern Palace won and became the current emperor.

The golden dragon-patterned boots stopped in front of him, and the emperor's cold, deep voice rang out: "Where do you want to go?"

Chu Yue trembled involuntarily, and she lowered her body even further: "This servant dares not..."

Don't dare?

The emperor sneered, "Whether you dare or not, I will not allow you to escape!"

After saying that, he scooped up Chu Yue and threw her onto the imperial carriage: "Back to Jinhua Palace!"

"Let's go!"

The guards and palace servants breathed a sigh of relief; the new emperor looked terrifying. Luckily, he was only looking for a palace maid, and it had nothing to do with them.

The emperor's face was dark the whole way, and he gripped Chu Yue's arm tightly. Chu Yue was in so much pain that she dared not utter a sound and tried to make her presence as inconspicuous as possible.

Upon returning to Jinhua Palace, the Emperor threw Chu Yue onto the bed in the imperial bedchamber and looked down at her, asking, "Who gave you the audacity to run away?"

Chu Yue turned pale with fright and stammered, "No...this servant wouldn't dare..."

"From this moment on, you shall remain by my side. You shall not leave my side for even a moment." The emperor commanded domineeringly and coldly, "You shall not leave my side."

When the emperor learned that Chu Yue had escaped, the violence in his heart almost drove him mad. His first thought was that even she dared to abandon him.

He had intended to make her a concubine after his coronation ceremony and keep her by his side forever, but before the ceremony was over, he was told that the audacious woman wanted to escape. The emperor hurriedly ended the ceremony and stopped her at the city gate.

"Your Majesty...this servant..."

The emperor didn't want to hear any words that would hurt his feelings, so he leaned down and kissed Chu Yue. He couldn't bear the consequences of losing the person in his arms, and only by keeping her by his side could his empty heart be soothed.

"Well……"

Chu Yue murmured in resistance. Although the emperor had been sharp-tongued these past few months, he had never offended her in any way.

As her favorability towards him increased, she also realized the emperor's feelings for her, but she did not overstep any boundaries.

The emperor was furious. His actions were also quite harsh, and Chu Yue had almost no strength to push him away, so she could only weakly beg for mercy.

But the emperor was determined to have her, and he ignored Chu Yue's pleas for mercy.

"Will you dare to run away again?" The emperor's heavy, panting voice rang in Chu Yue's ears.

Chu Yue shook her head weakly, too weak to speak.

The emperor showed no mercy, and another punishment began.

Listening to the commotion inside the hall, Xiao Xuanzi knew that it wouldn't stop anytime soon.

During his coronation ceremony, the tall and aloof emperor took a moment of free time to seek out a palace maid.

Xiao Xuanzi had no choice but to go and deliver the message, only to find that the palace maid was not there. After questioning her sternly, he learned that the palace maid had run away.

Startled, he rushed to inform His Majesty. Xiao Xuanzi still remembers the emperor's fierce expression at that moment.

Xiao Xuanzi was so frightened that he took a few steps back. Only when the emperor hurriedly left did he realize what was happening and follow him.

After a long while, the emperor's voice finally rang out: "Guards!"

Xiao Xuanzi beckoned the palace servants to bring water in, then he bowed his head and approached the screen: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor, wearing an outer robe, walked towards the inner chamber, with Xiao Xuanzi following behind.

"Yueyue, how are you?" Linglingyi quickly came out and asked in a considerate whisper.

Chu Yue lay weakly on the bed, her cheeks flushed, her lips swollen and red, and her sweaty hair plastered to her face.

"Nice physique, and satisfactory fighting ability..."

"..." 001 was speechless: "I'm not asking your opinion of the emperor, I'm asking what you think of him!"

"Oh..." Chu Yue's eyelids drooped: "It's alright..."

Just in case, Linglingyi gave her a recovery pill and then returned to the system.

Hearing the emperor's footsteps, Chu Yue quickly closed her eyes.

The emperor sat by the bedside, looking at Chu Yue's unconscious state. His expression softened, and as he left, he ordered, "Find someone to serve her."

Soon after, palace maids came to serve Chu Yue as she bathed and changed.

After soaking in the bath for a while, Chu Yue felt better. The emperor had been quite a handful. Fortunately, there was Linglingyi, but Chu Yue still pretended to be weak and needed someone to serve her.

"Your Highness, please slow down..." The palace maid didn't know which of His Majesty's concubines this was, but she knew that was the right way to address her.

Chu Yue was helped up to change her clothes. Just as she finished putting on her robe, she heard the emperor's cold voice: "Bring all the palace maids who helped her escape today!"

When she fled today, Yulan and Yumei helped her cover her escape. Chu Yue hurriedly wrapped her outer robe and stumbled out, crying, "Your Majesty... no... it's my fault..."

The emperor's face turned cold. He pulled Chu Yue into his arms and took the cloak handed to him by the palace maid following behind him: "Is there no manners left?"

Chu Yue disregarded everything else and pleaded weakly, "Your Majesty... it's all my fault, please don't blame others..."

Yulan and Yumei were on good terms with her, and the three of them had someone to talk to in the palace.

Today, he risked his life to help her escape, but unfortunately, she failed.

Yulan and Yumei were only thinking of her, but now they are being punished. Chu Yue just can't get over it.
