Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 139 The Deeply Affectionate and Obsessive Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 16

Xiao Mansion

"Madam, Madam, the General is back..." The servants in the mansion shouted from outside, but their voices trembled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother felt a little panicked and quickened her pace to go outside, only to see a scene that caused her immense heartache.

Xiao Yu was carried in; he was already unconscious, and his forehead was probably cut open. It had been simply bandaged, but it was still bleeding.

"What happened..." Xiao's mother was heartbroken and couldn't speak. She walked shakily to Xiao Yu's side.

"Father!"

Xiao Yan ran over in disbelief, and upon seeing the scene, burst into tears: "What happened?!"

"Madam, Miss, the General was caught in a landslide while suppressing bandits. He was unable to dodge in time and was injured. We have already examined him, but his injuries are quite serious, and he will not wake up for a while."

Xiao Yu's attendant quickly explained.

"Quick, quick, call a doctor! Go now!" Xiao's mother was already old, and this shock made her faint like Xiao Yu if she hadn't been holding on.

The Xiao family was in chaos, and several doctors were brought in to take turns treating patients.

After being examined by several doctors, Xiao Yu finally woke up slowly in the middle of the night.

"Father..." Xiao Yan sobbed uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

Xiao's mother stayed by his side without leaving for a moment. When she saw him wake up, she asked with heartache, "Yu'er, how is he?"

Xiao Yu's face was extremely pale, and his lips were bloodless. He moved his lips and said, "I'm... fine..."

"Father, you must not be hurt, your daughter is scared."

Xiao Yan was extremely panicked. She had lost her mother, but she absolutely could not lose her father. She needed her father by her side.

"Yan'er... Father is alright, don't be afraid." Xiao Yu forced a smile.

Mother Xiao couldn't help but shed tears. Now, only Yu'er is holding the mansion together. What will happen if something happens to him?

"Yu'er, you've never made such a mistake before. What happened?"

"Mother Xiao asked."

“Mother, life is unpredictable. The situation was urgent and I didn’t expect it. Don’t worry, I’m really alright.”

Xiao Yu offered words of comfort, saying that since leaving the manor that day, he had become a walking corpse.

The Emperor and Chu Yue deeply agitated him, making it impossible for him to find peace of mind.

He had thought the emperor would have at least a little conscience, but to his surprise, when the two looked at each other in court, the emperor showed no remorse and even used his power to send him away.

Xiao Yu nearly vomited blood. The emperor paid no attention to the ministers' gossip. If they said anything that displeased him, he would order their execution.

Not for himself, but for his mother and daughter, Xiao Yu accepted the order in a disheveled state and went to suppress the bandits.

But all the way, Chu Yue's image, figure, and beautiful voice were constantly on his mind.

He couldn't shake the feeling; Xiao Yu couldn't deceive his own heart. He had fallen in love with Chu Yue, but it was too late.

He clearly only had his wife in his heart, so why did he fall in love with someone else? Xiao Yu was in pain and felt guilty.

He was tormented by all this every day, and the pain in his heart turned into resentment. When he went to suppress the bandits, he would strike with his knife without any mercy.

His subordinates were shocked and couldn't understand why their general had become so cruel.

Xiao Yu took drastic measures and quickly completed the mission, preparing to return.

On their way back, because of several days of heavy rain, the soil was soft, and large rocks began to roll down as they passed through the mountains and forests.

Everyone else quickly fled, but Xiao Yu looked at the approaching boulder and gave a bitter smile. He didn't want to hide anymore, and he didn't have the strength to hide anymore.

If I leave like this, it will be a relief.

"General!"

Xiao Yu was hit by a large rock and immediately lost consciousness.

It took his men a great deal of effort to bring the man back to the Xiao residence.

“Yu’er, this family depends on you now, you… don’t do anything foolish.”

How could Xiao's mother not understand her son? He was no longer the same as before; he seemed to have lost all fighting spirit and become dejected.

“I know, Mother, go and rest,” Xiao Yu said softly, then looked at Xiao Yan. “Yan’er, help your grandmother down to rest. Father is tired.”

Xiao Yan nodded with tears in her eyes: "Daughter will come to see Father tomorrow."

Xiao's mother and Xiao Yan left.

Xiao Yu coughed violently, his lungs aching.

Being hit by such a large rock had already damaged his internal organs, and even with a strong will to live, there was nothing he could do.

Blood trickled from the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth. He lay on the bed, panting heavily, tears streaming down his face.

It seems that he wronged his deceased wife, and that's why God punished him like this, making him unable to have the one he loved.

Then he should go down and beg for forgiveness; living and suffering is too painful.

next day

The Xiao family mansion was filled with mourning as Xiao Yu passed away.

Xiao Yan knelt before the mourning hall, her eyes swollen from crying, and the marks on her face were red and swollen from the tears. Normally, she could only cover her face with a silk scarf.

"Daddy..."

Xiao Yan sobbed uncontrollably. Her grandmother had fainted several times, and everything had fallen on her shoulders, leaving her feeling helpless and afraid.

Why did it turn out like this?

She doesn't understand.

The Xiao residence was filled with desolation and faint wails.

……

Zhaoyang Palace

The emperor was holding Chu Yue and personally feeding her. Although Chu Yue had resisted several times, she had never succeeded and could only wait for the food to be served to her.

"Your Majesty... I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore." Chu Yue shook her head, refusing to open her mouth to eat the food he was feeding her.

"You're so delicate, eating so little, your body is so weak."

The emperor wanted to raise her well so that he could enjoy her favor for a longer period of time.

"I won't eat... Your Majesty." Chu Yue resisted weakly, trying to escape his hold.

However, the emperor was too strong, and she could not push him away even slightly.

"Alright, I'm not feeding you anymore. Don't move around." The emperor held her waist with one arm and ate with the other.

Chu Yue really wanted to get down so he could have a proper meal, but the emperor wouldn't allow it, so she had no choice but to give up.

After the meal, the palace servants helped her rinse her mouth and wash her hands. The emperor held her against the chaise longue, gently stroking her waist.

Chu Yue couldn't stand the tickling and quietly moved her body to avoid him, but the emperor held her tightly in his domineering embrace.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue wanted to ask him if he wasn't busy at all? He seemed to want to be in front of her all the time.

"My beloved concubine... Xiao Yu is gone," the emperor said in a deep voice.

Chu Yue was a little confused. Where did he go? Why did he talk to her again and test her?

"Where did you go..." Chu Yue asked dryly.

The emperor stared into her eyes: "She was injured during the bandit suppression and could not be saved."

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment. How could she have died so suddenly?

"My beloved concubine, are you reluctant to part with her?" The emperor's face gradually darkened when he saw that she did not speak.

Chu Yue: "..."

"Your Majesty... I didn't, it just felt sudden," Chu Yue explained with a forced smile.

The emperor didn't believe her and glared at her with a stern face.

This has stirred up a hornet's nest again, and there's no way to appease them now. Chu Yue is exhausted. He himself said that, so how should she react?

"Your Majesty...you said it yourself, I didn't say anything, yet you're accusing me..." Chu Yue lowered her head and began to sob: "You always doubt me like this, so I'll prove my innocence with my death."

As she spoke, she began to struggle, trying to get out of the emperor's arms.

The emperor was shocked and forgot all about being angry. He quickly put his arms around her and coaxed her, "Alright, alright, were you trying to scare me? I won't say it again."

The person is dead, there's no point in saying anything more.

"Your Majesty, please say whatever you wish. How dare I object?" Chu Yue twisted her body, refusing to comply with his wishes.

The emperor could tell from her expression that she was still angry. Since he couldn't coax her with words, he had to try another method.
