Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 232 Ruthless, Henpecked Emperor × Pregnant Palace Maid 1

"That damned quack!" the emperor roared in fury. "Say that again!"

Little Maruko was startled and knelt down with the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I...I deserve to die. I dare not speak recklessly." The imperial physician's head was almost broken from kowtowing.

The emperor's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and his chest heaved violently. He simply refused to believe that he was unable to have an heir.

"Imperial Physician, have you examined His Majesty carefully? What is the true state of His Majesty's health?"

As someone close to the emperor, Xiaowanzi naturally understood her purpose; if His Majesty were to become angry, her fate would not be good.

He could only ask again on behalf of His Majesty.

The imperial physician was also in a difficult position. How did he end up serving His Majesty by taking his pulse? This job was truly inhuman.

"Your Majesty, the poisoning is too deep and has lasted too long. Even if it costs me my life, I would not dare to deceive Your Majesty."

The emperor slumped onto the couch, panting heavily, his expression icy cold. No wonder the former crown prince had arrogantly boasted that even if he won the throne, he wouldn't last long when they were vying for it; this was exactly what was waiting for him.

Maruko trembled uncontrollably: "Imperial Physician, is there any other way?"

"We can only... leave it to fate..." the imperial physician replied, his heart filled with despair.

Maruko's face turned pale. Oh no, she didn't have long to live. His Majesty had only recently ascended the throne and was about to hold a selection of concubines. What was she going to do?

"If you can't cure me, the entire Imperial Medical Academy may die!" The emperor uttered these words with extreme malice, still feeling unsatisfied: "Incompetent doctors! Get out and find a solution!"

The imperial physician scrambled out of the room.

Maruko knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, for fear that the emperor would kill him.

"Go find a woman." The emperor's voice was as deep as the waters of the deep sea, making people dizzy and fearful.

Maruko was so frightened that he could barely move. He asked tremblingly, "Your Majesty... what... a woman..."

The emperor was already ruthless and irritable, and now he was in a rage. Maruko had undoubtedly crossed the line.

His gaze towards Xiaowanzi was as terrifying as that of a grim reaper from hell: "Are you asking me?"

"This servant...this servant understands, I'll go right away." Maruko's mind was blank; her first instinct was to get away from this terrifying place.

"roll!"

Maruko stumbled and ran outside, sweating anxiously. "Woman? What woman?"

There are no concubines in the palace, and His Majesty has not yet held a selection of consorts. Where can we find women?

As long as it's a woman, it's fine, right?

Maruko comforted herself, thinking that if she survived this ordeal, she would live one more day. Even if there were no concubines, there were plenty of palace maids; any woman would do.

Maruko was frantically running around the palace, sweating profusely. There were usually plenty of palace servants, but now there wasn't a single one.

"Come here, you, come here!" Maruko called out to the palace maid in front of her as if she had seen a savior.

A young palace maid respectfully trotted over: "Eunuch Wan..."

"Quick, come with me!" Maruko grabbed her and ran.

The young palace maid stumbled along behind, asking, "Eunuch, where are we going?"

"Don't ask so many questions, your good days are coming," Maruko said, afraid of being struck by lightning, while silently praying that he had his reasons.

"Father-in-law..."

"Don't ask so many questions. His Majesty needs people to serve him. If you serve His Majesty well, good days will come, understand?" That was all Xiaowanzi could say, but he had almost already thought of the consequences.

"Father-in-law...for..."

Before the palace maid could even ask, Xiao Wanzi shoved her into the emperor's palace.

The room was gloomy and the atmosphere was extremely low.

"Bless me, bless me, God bless me! Maruko hasn't done anything wrong, please don't strike me down!" Maruko muttered incoherently outside, "Please bless His Majesty so he can do it, please bless me..."

"Good luck to you. I had no choice. Don't blame me..."

"Go away, everyone, stay away and wait somewhere else!" Maruko dismissed the others, saying that it was broad daylight and they shouldn't disturb His Majesty's business.

Hall

The emperor gently raised his eyes to look at the woman opposite him, whose cowering appearance was like that of someone going to the execution ground.

"Yueyue, be careful," Lingling cautiously reminded him. "He just found out he's impotent, and he's gone crazy."

"Isn't it you who chose this?" Chu Yue said resentfully. "Just do the missions, why did you choose these missions? It's never going to end."

"Do more so I can level up and treat you to the best of everything in the future." 001 continued, "When the emperor was young, he was poisoned and rendered childless, but no one cared because he was all alone and no one paid attention to it. Besides, he was fine at the time, so he didn't think much of it."

"Having had enough of being bullied, the emperor silently vowed to ascend the throne and trample everyone under his feet. So he lay low in the shadows, and in the midst of bloodshed, he won."

"He killed all those who were in his way and executed all those who disobeyed him. After the storm had finally passed, a minister suggested holding a selection of consorts to establish an empress. Only then did the emperor realize that he did not have a woman by his side and began to prepare for the selection of consorts. It was at this time that he felt that something was wrong with his body."

"He did not have the reaction that a normal man should have. When the imperial physician came to examine him, he found that he had been poisoned for a long time. Not only was there no reaction there, but he also had no possibility of conceiving."

"The emperor was furious. He then remembered that he had been assassinated long ago. He ordered the imperial physicians to heal him, or he would tear down the palace. He also ordered people to find him a woman, and he wanted to try it out."

"The original owner was that tragic person. The emperor discovered that she couldn't perform her functions and killed her with a sword. You'd better come early now to avoid a neck injury, which wouldn't look good. Be careful of the emperor; his props are always at your beck and call."

Chu Yue was speechless for a while. The missions were getting harder and harder. When would she be able to take a vacation?

"Give me that pill that's seven times a night... no, change it to once a night, at least so he can function properly, otherwise he'll go crazy again."

"Yueyue, your identity is that of a palace maid. You have no one to rely on, so be careful not to anger the emperor. Here are the props for you."

Linglingyi reminded her repeatedly and gave Chu Yue the props she needed.

"understood."

Chu Yue agreed, but the emperor's gaze felt like a thorn in her back, and the air pressure was so low it felt like ice.

"This servant greets Your Majesty..." Chu Yue felt her voice was like a fallen leaf in the wind, trembling and desolate.

"come over."

Chu Yue walked towards the emperor with trembling legs, feeling as if she were going to the execution ground, each step bringing her closer to death.

Finally standing before the emperor, Chu Yue barely dared to breathe. The emperor's aura was terrifying; just sitting there, his cold gaze was enough to instill fear.

"This servant...this servant will..." Chu Yue's voice trembled as she was about to kneel down again when the emperor grabbed her hand.

She found herself shaking even more violently, her teeth chattering.

"Are you afraid of me?"

The emperor gripped Chu Yue's hand tightly, and Chu Yue felt as if her wrist was about to break.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty's divine might... No one is unafraid of it..."

Chu Yue stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
