Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 106 The Ruthless and Cold-Hearted Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 4

Holding the painkiller pills in her hand, Chu Yue rushed over quickly. Taking advantage of the moment when Xiao Shunzi hugged the prince, she seized the opportunity to shove the pills into the prince's mouth and then covered his mouth with her hand.

Xiao Shunzi froze, staring at Chu Yue in disbelief. What had she just done?

Shen Yuan stopped, panting heavily, and stared at Chu Yue with furious eyes as if she were a dead man.

Chu Yue swallowed hard, slowly withdrew her hand, and knelt down with a thud, trembling as she begged for forgiveness: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I only gave Your Highness the painkiller because I was worried that Your Highness was in so much pain."

"Your Highness, please forgive me..."

Xiao Shunzi released his grip on the Crown Prince and asked suspiciously, "Your Highness... does it still hurt?"

Chu Yue: "..."

It will take at least a while.

The prince was still in excruciating pain and was extremely agitated. He didn't believe that anything could relieve the pain. Even the imperial physicians couldn't do anything about it, so how could this woman have such great abilities?

"Her..."

"Your Highness, it's true. It won't hurt after a little while. I wouldn't dare to lie to Your Highness..." Chu Yue raised her head in a panic, her eyes slightly red with fear.

The crown prince broke out in a cold sweat and collapsed onto the bed in a disheveled state. He never imagined that he would have such an embarrassing day.

Xiao Shunzi stared intently at the prince's legs, not daring to relax even for a moment, praying and pleading in his heart, hoping it would work!

Chu Yue knelt there, shivering, while the pattering rain outside added to her irritability.

The crown prince, growing impatient, roared in fury, "How dare you deceive me..."

"Your Highness, shall I massage your legs? It will relieve the pain."

Chu Yue dared not provoke him. When he spoke, she made a soft request, and as soon as she finished speaking, her soft little hand had already touched the prince's leg.

The prince was taken aback for a moment, and when the soft little hand touched him, he trembled slightly.

"Your Highness, I'll be gentle, you won't feel any pain," Chu Yue reassured him as she moved gently.

The prince's leg was injured, but there were no visible wounds, and it felt normal to the touch, so it was likely due to poisoning.

The Crown Prince's slightly reddened eyes swept over Chu Yue, who was kneeling by the bed. She lowered her head slightly, her brows furrowed, and her movements were serious and gentle.

A striking red mark adorned her fair face, which seemed out of place.

"Your Highness, are you feeling better?" Chu Yue looked up at the Crown Prince, and their eyes met.

The crown prince finally saw her clearly, paused for a moment, and looked into her misty peach blossom eyes.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Chu Yue assumed he was still in pain, so she lowered her head and carefully massaged him.

As the pain in his legs gradually subsided, Qi Yuan wearily closed his eyes and fell asleep in a disheveled state.

"Consort Chu, His Highness is asleep," Xiao Shunzi said in a low voice.

Chu Yue looked up and breathed a sigh of relief: "That scared me to death..."

"My lady, thank you so much for tonight. Rainy days are the hardest for His Highness, but this is the fastest he has fallen asleep since his injury."

Xiao Shunzi sighed, noting that these days, His Highness couldn't sleep for long before being woken up by pain.

"Your Highness has suffered..." Chu Yue's eyes were slightly red, and tears welled up in them.

"Your Highness, please go and rest. I will stay here and watch over you."

"No, Your Highness, I will stay here and guard you. You may leave."

Seeing her insistence, Xiao Shunzi didn't say anything more. After all, she was His Highness's woman, so there was nothing wrong with serving her here. He quietly turned and left.

Chu Yue sighed deeply, wiping the Crown Prince's sweat with a handkerchief while trying to get some benefits from 001: "This mission is very tiring, you handle it."

001: "...I understand."

"That's good……"

"..."

Chu Yue tidied him up a bit and then lay down to sleep by the bed. When the Crown Prince wakes up tomorrow, he shouldn't be so heartless anymore, right?

next day

The prince opened his eyes wearily; he hadn't slept for so long since he was injured.

The pain in his leg had subsided, and the prince looked down to see a small head resting beside his leg. Was it lying on the edge of his bed?

His throat bobbed, as if he wanted to speak, but his voice was hoarse and he could barely utter a sound.

Chu Yue opened her eyes groggily, her neck stiff. She hissed softly twice and turned her head to look at the Crown Prince, who was looking at her.

"Your Highness, you're awake? Are you still in pain? Would you like some water?" Chu Yue asked with some surprise, getting up to pour some water as she did so.

But because he had been lying on the edge of the bed for too long, he stumbled and fell to the ground again.

Chu Yue looked at the Crown Prince somewhat awkwardly and forced a smile: "Your Highness... my legs are numb. I'll get you some water in a bit."

Crown Prince: "..."

How could there be such a stupid woman?

"Someone come here."

The next moment, Xiao Shunzi pushed open the door and entered, stepping forward respectfully and saying, "Greetings to Your Highness, and greetings to Consort Chu."

"Have someone come and serve Consort Chu." The Crown Prince's voice was somewhat hoarse, sounding even deeper.

"Yes..." Xiao Shunzi stepped back, feeling a sense of relief. He had been worried all night.

To my surprise, His Highness's condition has improved today. Isn't that good news?

Xiao Tao quickly came over, "Greetings to Your Highness, greetings to Consort Chu..."

The crown prince remained silent.

Chu Yue said softly, "Your Highness, I will go wash up first and then come to serve you in a little while."

The crown prince merely glanced at her and said nothing.

Xiao Tao supported Chu Yue. Heaven knows how scared Chu Yue was last night. She hadn't followed for more than a few steps before retreating in fear, listening to the commotion in the main hall as if it were the end of the world.

"My lady, are you alright? I was worried about you, but last night... I was so scared... Please don't abandon me." Xiao Tao choked out.

Chu Yue's legs were still numb. She endured the discomfort and gently comforted her, "Silly girl, I'm not blaming you. I was scared last night too. Now it's alright. Go back and wash up first."

"Mmm..." Xiao Tao nodded through her tears.

When Chu Yue finished getting ready and came to the main hall, the Crown Prince had already washed up and was sitting there dressed in black, looking intimidating.

"This concubine greets Your Highness..." Chu Yue stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Xiao Shunzi glanced at the Crown Prince's expression, gave Xiao Tao a wink, and the two quietly withdrew.

"Rise." His Highness the Crown Prince spoke sparingly.

Chu Yue stood up: "Thank you, Your Highness..."

"Where did you get the medicine you gave me?" Despite the Crown Prince's injury, his authority as a ruler remained, and his words alone were enough to instill fear in others.

His leg hasn't hurt since the injury, which is something he hasn't experienced since it started.

Chu Yue knelt down again: "Your Highness... it was given to me by my mother when I entered the manor. She was worried about me... so she gave it to me in case of emergency..."

“My father met a wise man while on his business trip. The wise man said that he was destined to meet my father and gave him this pill.”

“Father didn’t believe it, so he gave it to Mother for safekeeping when he came back. Later, I was chosen as His Highness’s concubine… Mother was worried that I wouldn’t be able to protect myself in the mansion, so she gave it to me.”

"You all don't believe in this. How dare you give it to me so casually?" The Crown Prince's authority grew even stronger.

Chu Yue raised her head in fear, her eyes already brimming with tears. Her lips trembled as she said, "Your Highness... I didn't think of that in a moment..."

"Your Highness, please forgive me..."
