Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 101 The Wife-Killing, Childless Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 36

After Chu Yue became pregnant, the most anxious person was none other than the emperor.

They were as frightened as birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, to the point of seeing enemies everywhere.

Although only four months pregnant, the emperor already had dark circles under his eyes, simply because he often stared at Chu Yue without blinking at night.

Chu Yue was carrying twins, and her belly was quite large. She couldn't sleep well at night. She turned over uncomfortably, and the next moment, a pair of strong hands supported her waist and helped her turn over.

"Your Majesty, are you not asleep?" Chu Yue faced the emperor. The Fengze Palace was lit up with the luminous pearl that the emperor had given Chu Yue. Chu Yue covered it with a thin veil and placed it on the bedside table.

The yellowish hue of the setting sun is neither glaring nor irritating, and it can also serve as a source of illumination.

"My beloved consort, I can't sleep. I'm worried about you." The emperor confessed that he was genuinely concerned.

He knew that Chu Yue couldn't sleep well at night, so he was even more worried and often stayed by her side all night until dawn.

Chu Yue frowned with worry. The emperor's mental state was not good; he suffered from prenatal depression.

"Your Majesty, I am fine. You must believe in me and also believe in the child."

"If you don't take care of your own health, who will protect me and the child?"

Chu Yue told him to relax. How could he be so worried after only four months? What would happen later?

"My beloved consort, I... I promise you." The emperor realized that he was much older than the consort, and he could not afford to be harmed. The consort and the child still needed his protection.

"Your Majesty, go to sleep. I will be fine." Chu Yue nestled against him, comforting him.

With the whole world in his arms, the emperor felt his heart was no longer heavy, and he finally fell asleep peacefully.

When he was five months old, Physician Li came to examine his pulse. He was shocked and speechless.

The emperor, standing anxiously to the side, asked, "How is the Imperial Concubine?"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is carrying twins!" Imperial Physician Li was overjoyed.

The emperor was stunned by this unexpected surprise. He was somewhat taken aback: "Two children?"

The imperial concubine was so powerful that she gave him two children at once.

"My beloved concubine, did you hear that? I'm going to have two children." The emperor held Chu Yue's hand, so happy he was almost dumbfounded.

Chu Yue played along perfectly: "Your Majesty... I heard you. Your Majesty is about to have two children."

"Haha... There will be rewards, everyone will be rewarded!" The emperor was in high spirits, radiating joy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Consort Gui..." Imperial Physician Li and the palace servants of Fengze Palace bowed and expressed their gratitude in unison.

……

By the time Chu Yue was eight months pregnant, her belly was already quite large, and the emperor was even more worried. He even moved the memorials in the main hall to Fengze Palace to handle them.

He couldn't leave her side for even a moment. The Imperial Concubine was suffering more and more, and he felt heartbroken seeing it all. He wished he could take her suffering upon himself.

But he couldn't do that, so he could only cherish and love her even more.

At night, he would massage her cramped calves, and during the day, he would help her do some light exercise outside. The emperor was very patient and never showed the slightest impatience.

He even wanted to feed her by hand during meals. Chu Yue had no choice but to persuade him to give up the idea. She was just pregnant, not unable to move.

Chu Yue was somewhat worried that the emperor might faint from the shock during her childbirth.

When the baby was over nine months old, the emperor became visibly anxious. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen and would stare at Chu Yue with his eyes open every night.

If Chu Yue hadn't already gotten used to it, the height difference would have scared her into premature labor.

……

On the day of the delivery, the emperor was delayed by something and stayed in the main hall. Since the due date was still a few days away, he did not know that the delivery had come so soon.

When the emperor left, Chu Yue already felt some pain in her stomach. She knew that the twins would definitely come sooner than expected.

Everything proceeded smoothly in Fengze Palace. Xiao Tao was about to report to the Emperor when Chu Yue stopped her.

The emperor has been too anxious these days; if he were to see her in pain during childbirth, he would probably break down.

Even if there are rules against seeing them, just hearing their voices would probably be unbearable.

Chu Yue had already asked Linglingyi for the props, so she wouldn't suffer during production and the process would be faster.

In just over an hour, Chu Yue gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The two tiny babies were placed beside Chu Yue and were sleeping peacefully.

Only after the birth was completed did someone go to report to the emperor. Upon hearing this, the emperor ran wildly, losing one of his shoes in the process. Xiao Xizi chased after him with the shoe in his hand.

When the emperor arrived at Fengze Palace, everything had already been arranged, and Chu Yue had returned to the main hall, lying on the bed with a pale face.

Hearing the sound, she turned her head slightly and smiled, "Your Majesty..."

"My beloved concubine." The emperor's voice was choked with emotion as he saw the two little ones sleeping beside Chu Yue.

The once strong but now fragile emperor finally shed tears, and with tears streaming down his face, he came to the bedside and gently stroked the baby in swaddling clothes with trembling hands.

Chu Yue couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Your Majesty... why are you crying?"

"I am so happy..." The emperor was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He had only been gone for a short while, and the child was born. How could this be? The emperor said with some resentment, "I didn't even spend time with my beloved concubine."

"What can His Majesty do? The child has already been born, hasn't it?"

If the emperor were to accompany them, who would take care of whom?

emperor:"……"

"Your Majesty... have the children been named? For the princess and the prince?" Chu Yue changed the subject.

The emperor froze. He hadn't had time to think; he had been preoccupied with worrying about the imperial concubine's health these past few days.

The next moment, he was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Twins!"

Don't blame him for only finding out now; when the palace servant went to report, he only heard the first half of the sentence and didn't hear the second half at all.

Chu Yue: "..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, so has a name been chosen?" Chu Yue asked again.

“My beloved consort, I didn’t have time. Why don’t you take it? I will do as you say.”

The emperor looked at the mother and her two children with doting eyes.

"Your Majesty, please choose my nickname and my formal name," Chu Yue suggested.

"Alright, what does my beloved consort say she should call me?"

"An'an and Lele, may you be safe and happy. I hope these two siblings will be happy for the rest of their lives." Chu Yue looked at the two little ones with affection.

The emperor naturally agreed.

When the twins were three months old, the emperor brought Chu Yue and the two children to Anning Palace.

The Empress Dowager had been observing a vegetarian diet and chanting Buddhist prayers these past few days. When she saw the Emperor arrive with his two children, she couldn't help but shed tears, repeatedly saying, "Good, good, good... I can rest assured now."

She was sincerely repentant and regretted interfering in the emperor's harem affairs. Two months ago, the emperor sent Liu Yu'er to Anning Palace. Liu Yu'er went insane in Cangxue Pavilion and was silly all day long.

The Empress Dowager was heartbroken. Her child from the Liu family had become like this, and she could only take care of him in Anning Palace.

"Mother, please take good care of yourself. Your son will take his leave now." In the end, the emperor couldn't bear to leave her; after all, she was his mother.

"Okay, okay..." the Empress Dowager replied, her voice choked with emotion. As long as the Emperor was well and her grandchildren were well, she was content with everything.

Chu Yue stood by without saying a word; this was already the biggest concession she could make.

In order to bring good fortune to the child, let's be forgiving when we can.
