Chapter 47 The War God Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 3
The Emperor's Camp
Chu Yue followed Xiao Anzi to the emperor's tent, and after taking a quick look around, she found it to be spacious and tidy.
It is divided into two parts, separated by a screen with a landscape painting. The outside has a desk and some simple objects, while the inside is probably the bed.
"Consort Chu, this is where His Majesty is staying. Please rest for a while, and I will go and prepare a place for your maid to stay."
Xiao Anzi was quite happy that the Empress sent people to serve His Majesty. His Majesty had been fighting for many years and had no one to care for him. He looked very lonely when he returned.
Moreover, Consort Chu doesn't seem like an immature person; it would be good if she could be a little more considerate of His Majesty.
"Thank you for your trouble, Father-in-law," Chu Yue said softly.
Xiao Anzi said in a flustered manner, "This servant dares not, Your Highness, please rest first, this servant will take his leave..."
Chu Yue smiled and nodded.
"My beauty, you must be exhausted?" Xiao Tao looked tired and unwell.
Chu Yue was a little worried: "I'm fine, but you don't look too good..."
Xiao Tao shook her head weakly: "My beauty, I'm fine, you should rest for a while."
Chu Yue pulled her to sit down together. They didn't dare to move around in the emperor's place, so they decided to sit and rest for a while.
As it was getting dark, Xiao Anzi came over and said that Xiao Tao's place was ready. Xiao Tao had rested all afternoon and was feeling much better, so she went over.
It was located right behind the emperor's tent, not far away, mainly to ensure that Consort Chu could be served at any time.
Chu Yue then perked up and discussed the mission with 001: "001, how's the progress?"
"Monthly, there is no change, and the value is displayed as zero."
"That's strange. It's either negative or a little bit. What's wrong? Is the emperor indifferent to women?"
"Yueyue, don't be discouraged. Look, what a great opportunity for you two to strengthen your relationship..."
Chu Yue rolled her eyes at it: "This chance to die at any moment is being given to you, do you want it or not..."
Zero Zero flapped its wings and took a few steps back; it didn't want to...
"Yueyue..." Linglingyi said in a coquettish and ingratiating tone.
"Alright, keep the props ready at all times, so you won't disappear when we need you."
"Yes, sir. I shall take my leave..."
Chu Yue had no choice but to run away quickly.
"My lady, your servant is here." Xiao Tao came in carrying the toiletries.
"Xiao Tao, you can rest. I'll take care of it myself."
"My beauty, I'm alright now. My place is quite nice. I've come to help you wash up, and now I'm going back... My beauty... You must serve His Majesty well."
The last few words were whispered in her ear by Xiaotao.
Chu Yue's ears turned red, and she was too shy to speak.
Xiao Tao quickly helped her wash up and then left.
Chu Yue felt somewhat apprehensive being alone in an unfamiliar place; this military camp was not a place that ordinary people could adapt to.
We don't know what kind of personality the emperor has. He's been fighting wars all year round. Could he be very short-tempered?
It was late at night, and the emperor had not yet returned to his tent. Chu Yue was a little tired, but dared not get out of bed.
He fell asleep right there on the table outside.
When Xie Heng returned, it was already past midnight. As soon as he entered the tent, he sensed something was wrong. There was breathing inside. He immediately held his breath and became serious, gripping the sword at his side.
The candle was almost burned out. By the dim candlelight, Xie Heng looked closely and saw a woman lying behind the table. Only then did he remember what had happened during the day: the virtuous empress from the palace had sent him a servant from afar.
Frowning in annoyance, Xie Heng lit another candle. Usually, Xiao Anzi would do these things, so he probably couldn't come today.
Xie Heng unloaded his sword and placed it aside, the sound waking Chu Yue.
She opened her eyes and didn't react for a moment.
Seeing the emperor staring at her, Chu Yue trembled with fright and quickly sat up. However, her legs were numb from lying down for so long, and she staggered a few steps before regaining her balance. Her voice trembled as she said, "This concubine greets Your Majesty..."
The emperor was still getting used to the sudden appearance of a woman by his side. In fact, for Xie Heng, everything was sudden, even his ascension to the throne was sudden, and his hasty marriage to the empress was even more sudden. Only when he came to the battlefield did he feel that this was the place that belonged to him.
"Do you know where this is?" Xie Heng coldly glared at the person kneeling on the ground.
Look at how frail she is, coming to a place like this to suffer.
"Your Majesty, I... do not know, but... Her Majesty the Empress gave the order, and I dare not disobey..."
Chu Yue replied cautiously, implying that the Empress had ordered her to come and she could not disobey.
"The Empress's orders cannot be disobeyed, but what about my orders? Go back tomorrow."
Xie Heng hated being threatened the most. The Empress was thousands of miles away and could not possibly control him.
Chu Yue looked up in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening, her lips trembling slightly: "Your Majesty... I've come to serve you..."
"I don't need anyone to serve me here." Xie Heng didn't want to say anything more to her, and after saying this, he turned around and took off his armor himself.
Chu Yue was terrified and didn't want to be sent back. Dragging her still numb legs, she came before the emperor: "Your Majesty, let me help you..."
As she spoke, she was about to remove his armor.
Xie Heng stared at her with a leisurely air, a slightly mocking smile on his lips.
Chu Yue felt extremely uncomfortable under the emperor's gaze. Moreover, she couldn't remove the heavy armor at all; after struggling for a long time, the emperor's armor remained completely unmoved.
Chu Yue was so anxious that tears were about to come out, and sweat was beading on her nose.
Xie Heng looked at the woman busy in front of him and sneered inwardly. With her strength, she wouldn't be able to untangle it even by tomorrow.
The woman in front of me had misty eyes and her full lips were tightly clenched by her white teeth.
Her face was filled with anxiety, and her body was trembling. Was she afraid?
They dared to come all this way, and now they're scared?
"I'll do it myself." Xie Heng didn't want to miss sleep the next morning.
Chu Yue released her grip, choking back tears, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty..."
After saying that, she took two steps back slightly.
After Xie Heng removed his armor, another question came to mind. Usually, they would just wash themselves casually, often washing by the river. Tonight, they had planned to have Xiao Anzi prepare water for them to wash in their tents.
But now it seems the only option is to go to the river.
The emperor left without saying a word.
Chu Yue anxiously waited in the tent. Did His Majesty dislike her and not want to see her, so he left after returning and seeing her?
Just as he was about to lie down on the desk again, the emperor returned.
When Chu Yue turned around, she realized what he had been doing outside.
Her hair was still wet; it looked like she had gone to wash up.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue stood there, somewhat at a loss.
Xie Heng casually picked up a handkerchief and wiped his hair. His large and imposing body walked inside, with Chu Yue following behind.
The emperor sat imposingly on his bed, his brows furrowed. How was he going to sleep tonight?
"Your Majesty, I'll sleep on the floor. All I need is... a blanket..."
Chu Yue knew what was troubling him.
Xie Heng looked up and stared at her. He couldn't bring himself to let a woman sleep on the floor, and besides, he didn't have any extra blankets.
"Let's make do for tonight. You sleep inside, and we'll make plans for tomorrow."
The emperor said calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty..." Chu Yue didn't care. Getting close to the emperor would speed up the mission, and she didn't want to actually sleep on the ground.
So, she said it was just to get the emperor to agree to sleep in her bed.
Xie Heng had already lain down, his tall body completely blocking the outside of the bed. Chu Yue didn't know how to get up, so she hesitated and came to the foot of the bed, carefully stepping over the emperor's body to go inside.
Because of nervousness, Chu Yue trembled slightly, her hands on the bed became weak, and she instantly collapsed onto the emperor's lap.
Her soft body slammed onto his hard leg, and Chu Yue winced slightly in pain, but still managed to apologize, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, my hand trembled for a moment..."
The emperor opened his eyes and stared intently at this troublesome woman. What was she doing here?
He sat up, grabbed her waist with his large hand, and placed her on the inside of the bed.
Chu Yue's gasp caught in her throat; she dared not move and lay there stiffly.
The tent fell silent for a moment. Only the sound of their breathing could be heard. The emperor felt a little uncomfortable as the woman's unique fragrance wafted over.
Xie Heng turned over irritably and closed his eyes.
Chu Yue sighed helplessly behind him, then gently turned over to face the inside. She was already exhausted from the journey, and now she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
The emperor, however, could not fall asleep for a long time.
