Chapter 16: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Palace Maid
"But I am still a slave. You can't give me what I want. I want a child, just a child."
As she spoke, Chao Fei burst into tears.
At this moment, the warmth and joy in the room have not stopped.
She sat outside the door, drinking sip after sip of peach wine, looking at the eunuch in front of her like a drunk.
He pulled him into his side hall.
"Then you should make me happy as well."
The eunuch followed the concubine into the side hall with a happy face.
After a while, only the woman's moans could be heard. As the saying goes, there is no eunuch, his role is only to make people happy.
The next day, the palace welcomed the beginning of summer.
The day was very hot, and although the imperial concubine was under house arrest, she was still given plenty of what she deserved.
Other concubines of lower status in the palace did not have the right to get ice cubes.
The emperor woke up with a splitting headache.
He discovered that the person sleeping next to him was the naked concubine.
He immediately woke up and protected himself.
Subconsciously he began to recall carefully that the person lying in his arms yesterday was not Asahina, he vaguely remembered it was Hatsuri.
The concubine rubbed against his arms and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, please be gentle."
Somehow it happened that the person lying next to him turned out to be a concubine.
He didn't want to touch Chao Fei for even a second, so he immediately stood up and asked people to change clothes, not caring whether Chao Fei was sleeping.
Something must have happened while I was sleeping last night.
But what the servants and palace maids saw now was himself sleeping with the concubine.
If this is the case, then the entire palace is on the side of the imperial concubine.
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, exuding danger.
When the concubine woke up, she pretended not to have slept well. She looked at the emperor changing his clothes and asked in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty, did you sleep well last night?"
Shen Yan smiled and said nothing.
He put on his clothes and left.
At this time, Chaofei immediately stood up. Last night, she quietly went into the room and sent someone to carry Chuli out and locked her in another room.
She slept next to the emperor for the whole night.
After cleaning up everything, she came to where Hatsuri was.
Early in the morning, a bucket of cold water was poured on her.
The cold water seeped through her body and frightened Chuli so much that she started to talkative for a while.
She knew who it was. She no longer pretended to be ignorant and asked directly: "Is this how your Majesty treats the people who help you?"
The concubine sneered. She was not surprised that she knew it was her. Seeing her blindfolded, her hands and feet tied, and her body soaking wet, she could not help but laugh at her: "You looked like this when I first saw you. Your wickedness has not changed."
"Madam, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to get pregnant?"
This made the concubine's face turn pale, and she said angrily: "If you can't get pregnant, I will kill you."
"Your Highness, that's easy for you to say. You used my story to bribe the people around the Emperor, drugged the Emperor, and teamed up with people in the palace to deceive the Emperor. If the Emperor knew about this, do you think your beautiful dream would come true?"
Chao Fei would naturally not be frightened by her words. She had been planning this game for a long time, and there would definitely not be a foolproof situation.
"You don't need to tell me what I'm doing. Just focus on your pregnancy. As for what you said, do you think I'll give you a chance to speak it out?"
Chao Fei walked over and pinched her chin hard, his nails slowly digging into it, causing Chu Li to feel pain.
"I asked you to serve the Emperor, you should be grateful to me. The Emperor's body is not something you can defile. Xiaohua, take good care of her. Ask the imperial physician to check her pulse every day. If the Emperor's old lady comes to ask, tell her that Chuli is not feeling well and I am taking care of her."
"Yes."
Having said that, he left.
Chuli was splashed with cold water, and no one came to help her. She hid in the corner, shivering and mumbling.
She immediately asked the system: "Have I completed my task?"
The system just woke up at this time and analyzed very seriously: "Susu! Not good! An unknown error was found. This mission was not successful."
Chuli was so shocked that she stood there in disbelief.
What does this mean?
Does that mean I slept for nothing?
Not only was I not pregnant, but I also got slept with by someone for nothing?
"God damn it! You are such a jerk!"
The system was also very sorry: "Susu, maybe there are some other factors. Is it because of the drug given by the imperial concubine? Or maybe it's because you have too strong a sense of mission and didn't show your true feelings, which led to the failure of the mission?"
True feelings revealed?
"You mean to make me like the emperor? How can I like him? All I can think about now is treating him like a job."
The system sighed: "Susu, keep going!"
Right now, the most important thing is how to get out and tell the emperor all this.
And she must prove that she slept with the emperor last night.
And if she didn't get pregnant this time, the imperial concubine would definitely kill her.
In order to protect herself, she must become the emperor's concubine.
I thought I would fake a pregnancy to get out, but I never imagined that a few days later...
It was actually the imperial concubine who saved her.
When Guifei was released from confinement, she drove to Chaofei's palace and declared that she wanted to see Hatsuri and Chaofei.
The concubine kept using excuses to prevent the meeting, but Guifei thought that the concubine was protecting Hatsuri. She warned him: "If you don't let me see Hatsuri, I will hold you accountable!"
Due to her status as a noble concubine, Chao Fei had to ask someone to bring Chu Li out.
Chu Li was overjoyed to see Concubine Jian.
She thought of a hundred ways to escape, but she never expected it would be the lovely concubine.
"Your servant is here to see the Imperial Concubine. It has been a long time since I last saw you. I missed you so much!"
The sudden words caught the noble concubine off guard. She didn't want to fall for it, seeing Chu Li's shabby appearance.
I guess this imperial concubine must have made up her mind.
When you beat a dog, you have to beat its owner. She slapped the concubine directly and shouted angrily: "You bastard, you took advantage of me being punished to seduce the emperor to come to you. I have long seen that you are not what you seem. Do you think these little tricks of yours can escape my eyes?"
Having said that, he slapped him hard again.
His face instantly turned red, and Chu Li felt so happy watching that.
She was almost tortured to death these days. It felt like she was participating in the Metamorphosis when she came to this world.
It’s live broadcast every day.
Apart from the imperial physician checking his pulse every day, his diet and freedom were all controlled.
The concubine pretended to be pitiful and wronged again, "Your Majesty, what crime have I committed? I just miss the emperor as much as you do. The emperor may have heard my thoughts and came here. What's more, I don't have any great ability. Everyone knows that you are the emperor's favorite in the harem."
The imperial concubine almost vomited when she heard this.
Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"
The emperor's arrival frightened Concubine Chao so much that her face turned pale. Her hands kept shaking, and she had a strong premonition in her heart that something was wrong...
