Chapter 92 Drugging Chu Huaiyu (High-energy plot!!)
(The female lead in this chapter is incredibly powerful!!!)
Where is Consort Chen?
"Where did she go? You bunch of lackeys, you can't even keep an eye on one person! Is this how you serve your master?"
Chu Huaiyu's roar exploded like thunder within Chengqian Palace.
The palace servants inside the hall all knelt down, their heads almost touching the ground, not daring to breathe.
Just then, a familiar figure slowly entered the hall; it was Lu Zhaoxue.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, she was met with Chu Huaiyu's icy, gloomy gaze.
The surging ferocity in his eyes made her heart clench, and her fingertips instinctively tightened.
When the matter of the talent selection was discussed in the main hall today, he kept a cold face the whole time.
He must be burning with rage right now...
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I was just visiting Zhaoxing in the side hall." She bowed slightly, her voice gentle.
Chu Huaiyu's eyes were half-closed, his long eyelashes casting a shadow beneath them.
His tone was slow and deliberate, yet it carried a chilling coldness:
"Ha, you still have the leisure to care about Lu Zhaoxing? What, am I not good enough for you even here?"
Lu Zhaoxue sighed inwardly. Here we go again…
This is really never going to end.
She maintained a polite and docile smile, and gestured for the palace servants to leave.
Once only the two of them remained in the hall, she gently walked forward and sat down next to Chu Huaiyu, her fingertips lightly resting on his arm.
"Your Majesty is too kind. In my heart now, Your Majesty is naturally the most important person."
"Yeah?"
Chu Huaiyu suddenly leaned down, closing the distance between them abruptly, and a strong smell of alcohol wafted towards her.
The smell made Lu Zhaoxue frown slightly.
His hot breath brushed against her earlobe.
"Then why did you agree to the draft?"
"Don't you just want more beautiful women around me, so they can steal my affection from you?"
Lu Zhaoxue quickly got up, went around behind Chu Huaiyu, and gently massaged his back and shoulders with just the right amount of force.
She said calmly, "Your Majesty, you know that I am physically weak and I am afraid that I will never be able to bear Your Majesty an heir in this lifetime."
You spend all your time in my palace, neglecting Ruohua. How can the important matter of the royal family's continuation be delayed? Someone must share Your Majesty's burdens.”
Chu Huaiyu chuckled softly upon hearing this.
The laughter was full of sarcasm: "You speak so grandly, making me look like I don't know what's good for me!"
He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
The emotions surging in Chu Huaiyu's eyes were complex and difficult to discern; there was anger, resentment, and a trace of fear that Chu Huaiyu couldn't understand.
"Aren't you really afraid that the new women will steal my heart? If they bear children, you might not even have a place to stand in this harem in the future."
Lu Zhaoxue instinctively tried to avoid his burning gaze.
But he grabbed her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
She sighed silently to herself, secretly hoping that a woman would come and take his attention away.
Serving him with such care every day, she truly felt like she was walking on thin ice.
It was a thousand times more tiring than serving the matriarch; she was already fed up with it…
But she couldn't say those words aloud yet; she could only say softly:
"Your Majesty is well, and I would feel more at ease if more sisters could help take care of you."
"I never realized before that my beloved consort had such a broad mind."
Chu Huaiyu's tone was sarcastic, but he suddenly used force to pick her up and carried her to the bed in the inner hall.
He had been drinking, and his eyes were bloodshot and sharp, making him look like a beast poised to pounce, which inexplicably intimidated her.
"Chu Huaiyu, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, he kissed her fiercely.
The kiss carried a punitive undertone, burning and domineering, as if it wanted to devour her whole...
Lu Zhaoxue closed her eyes, sighed silently, and let his kiss, which smelled of alcohol, fall on her, feeling his slightly rough caresses.
His fingertips were cool as they brushed against her skin, sending a shiver down her spine.
That movement was filled with an extreme longing.
Chu Huaiyu seemed to want to etch every inch of her skin into his very bones.
When passion reached its peak, his hoarse, burning voice rang in her ear, carrying a hint of obsessive madness.
"Lu Zhaoxue, if you die one day, I will carry your ashes with me every day!"
Lu Zhaoxue froze, a chill inexplicably rising in her heart.
"I will absolutely not allow you to be with Chu Siheng, not even if it means death..."
His kiss landed hard on the side of her neck.
...
She breathed softly, slowly regaining her senses, and reached out to stroke his temples.
Lu Zhaoxue lowered her eyes, concealing the complex emotions within them.
Her voice was unusually gentle as she said, "Your Majesty, I will always belong to you in this life. Your Majesty need not worry."
Chu Huaiyu was slightly taken aback after hearing her words.
He didn't say anything more, but tightened his arms and hugged Lu Zhaoxue tightly, burying his face in her shoulder, his breathing gradually becoming more even.
"The ginseng soup you made for me yesterday tasted very good. I would like to have another bowl today," Chu Huaiyu said in a muffled voice.
"Alright, then I'll go and prepare it right away."
Lu Zhaoxue agreed softly, but a barely perceptible chill ran through her heart.
She got up and went to the small kitchen, personally selecting ingredients, a resolute glint in her eyes.
She carefully mixed several ground herbs of Phellodendron bark and eggplant pollen into the ginseng soup and stirred it well.
These herbs are all effective contraceptive remedies!
Although the medicine is mild, its effects will gradually accumulate with daily use.
Most importantly, even when the imperial physicians came to examine him, they could not find any clues.
Because Chu Siheng often felt unwell in the past, she would often read ancient medical books in her spare time.
I was wondering if I could help with his condition.
Therefore, I read many medical books and learned which herbs have contraceptive effects.
Chu Huaiyu has repeatedly brought up the matter of having children with her, and now he seems determined to get her pregnant.
She absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die!
But she wouldn't be foolish enough to drink that harmful contraceptive soup herself. Since that's the case, the only solution is to address the problem at its root!
Chu Huaiyu, you owe me, and I'll make you pay it all back...
——
She carried the stewed ginseng soup back to the inner palace, where Chu Huaiyu was leaning against the headboard waiting for her.
The crimson in his eyes had faded somewhat.
Lu Zhaoxue handed the ginseng soup to Chu Huaiyu, who took it but did not drink it.
"Zhaoxue, I want you to feed me." Chu Huaiyu's tone carried a hint of coquetry.
"..."
"Okay, I'll feed you."
Lu Zhaoxue took the ginseng soup from Chu Huaiyu.
She raised her hand, took the spoon, gently scooped up the ginseng soup from the bowl, and carefully fed it to Chu Huaiyu.
Chu Huaiyu's eyes were filled with happiness.
Lu Zhaoxue watched him drink it down, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.
Chu Huaiyu, you want a child, but I'm determined not to let you have your way...
Lu Zhaoxue felt a pang of pain involuntarily rise in her heart when she thought of the child she had once carried.
Chu Huaiyu, you owe me... you owe Siheng... you owe the Lu family...
You have to pay it all back!
