Chapter 66 The Wife-Killing, Childless Emperor and His Beloved Concubine 1
"Yueyue, let's get to work!"
In the Quick Transmigration Department, Chu Yue was given a day off to rest after completing three missions in a row.
It felt like her vacation had just begun and it was already over. Chu Yue pouted and said, "I know..."
"Yueyue, don't be upset, you'll have more vacation time next time."
It's just a hoax.
"Alright, what's the next target?" Chu Yue asked, still checking her points.
I've already spent a full 30,000. I usually use a lot of items from the "001" game, so I haven't spent much of my own money.
Furthermore, she has been doing missions for many years and rarely needs to spend points to buy items.
"Yueyue...we're the closest, aren't we..." Linglingyi hesitated, her attitude somewhat ingratiating.
Chu Yue knew something was wrong as soon as she saw its expression. She glanced at it and said, "Tell me, how difficult is the mission?"
"Hehe, hehe... It's not difficult. The next target is... someone who's widowed and... childless..."
Under Chu Yue's murderous gaze, Linglingyi stammered, "I'm also a bit old... thirty-two..."
"If I remember correctly, the task of eliminating offspring belongs to my colleague next door!"
He was widowed and had no children. Since he had no wife, of course he had no descendants!
"Yueyue, I've already chosen the best one..."
"Okay, I'll make it clear from the start: you can handle the props yourself."
"Yes, yes, I understand," 001 said with a fawning smile.
"Tell me about it, what's the plot like?"
"The emperor of the next mission is already thirty-two years old. He ascended the throne at the age of eighteen. After ascending the throne, he married the daughter of the Duke of Protector of the State as his empress. However, before the wedding day, the empress caught a cold and died because she could not be cured."
"At first, I didn't think anything of it. But not long after, the emperor's mother, the empress dowager, chose another woman for him, the daughter of the prime minister, as his empress. But on the night of their wedding, the prime minister's daughter suddenly fell seriously ill and died."
"Some people said that the emperor's hands were stained with blood and that he had ordered his wife to be taken away. When the emperor heard this, he was furious and lost all interest in marrying. He devoted himself to state affairs."
"The Empress Dowager thought that if she didn't marry the Empress, it would be good to select some people to enter the palace. However, the Emperor flatly refused, saying that selecting someone to enter the palace would mean certain death. It's better not to harm anyone."
"The Empress Dowager choked and rested for a while. Seeing that the Emperor was getting older and older, he had no woman by his side, and no princes or princesses either."
"The Empress Dowager went so far as to threaten to hang herself before the Emperor finally gave in and agreed to select someone to enter the palace. The Empress Dowager felt that she should not have chosen someone from a good family, so this time she chose someone from a poor family."
"The original owner was the daughter of a minor county magistrate. She was quite beautiful, which is why she was selected. However, after entering the palace, she heard rumors that the emperor was a jinx to his wives, and she was so frightened that she almost died that very night."
"So we need to hurry over there, because the original owner is about to die."
"I have no other requests, just let her be reborn into a good family, since she's taken over someone else's body."
"Let's go, Yueyue."
Chu Yue hadn't even finished digesting the information when she was teleported...
……
The desk was covered with memorials, and the emperor was dressed in a gold and black dragon robe, the fabric of which was naturally luxurious and exquisite, and the jade belt at his waist was inlaid with jade.
Her long hair was tied up with a jade crown, she had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and her thin lips were tightly pursed beneath her high nose. Just sitting there, she exuded the majesty of a superior.
Despite holding a high position for many years, his age of over thirty has not made him look old; instead, it has added to his maturity and composure.
The Empress Dowager couldn't understand why her outstanding son had such a difficult fate. Did he have to live out his days alone after taking the throne?
"Chen'er, let's try one more time. Your mother... will die without regrets."
The Empress Dowager felt a sharp pain in her chest as she looked at the Emperor who ignored her.
Xiao Chen frowned, slammed down the memorial in his hand, looked at the Empress Dowager, and said in a deep voice, "Mother, you should go back first. I still have matters to attend to."
"Chen'er, do you really want your mother to die with her eyes open in disgrace?"
"Let's try again. Consort Chu is already waiting. After this, I will never mention these things again."
Sometimes the Empress Dowager couldn't help but wonder, was it because Chen'er had committed too many sins that Heaven was punishing him like this?
But who hasn't been through bloodshed to get to this position? Why is it that only her Chen'er has to suffer this retribution?
The emperor stared intently at the Empress Dowager; this was the umpteenth time his mother had said these words.
I threatened him with hanging just a few days ago, and the injury on his neck hasn't even healed yet, and today I'm urging him again.
If this doesn't work, I wonder what other methods they'll come up with.
He and the Empress Dowager were inseparable, and he had risked his life to ascend to this position. Unexpectedly, his mother also came to force him in the end.
If he has no children, he can just choose one when the time comes. If he is really going to suffer retribution, why drag others into it?
"Mother..."
"Chen'er, your mother is getting old and can't stay with you for much longer. Your mother doesn't want you to be all alone..."
"Chen'er, please, I'm begging you."
As the Empress Dowager spoke, she began to cry again. She had lived a precarious life in the first half of her life, and she had thought she could enjoy the rest of her life with her grandchildren, but she never expected it to turn out like this.
"Mother... Your son... will be there in a moment." Faced with the Empress Dowager's plea, the Emperor ultimately couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.
In this world, only his mother and he depended on each other for survival.
"Good, good, Chen'er, this time it will definitely work. Your mother went to Ping'an Temple to have her fortune told, and the person in question is not from a wealthy family. The master said that this time Your mother has found a person with a strong destiny, and the same situation as before will not happen again."
The Empress Dowager was somewhat excited, as if she could already see the future.
The emperor remained expressionless throughout. He no longer insisted on anything, only hoping that if there was any retribution, he would bear it alone.
"Chen'er, your mother has left first. You should go there quickly and not keep Consort Chu waiting."
The Empress Dowager finally smiled, and her spirits improved considerably. If the Emperor hadn't been so determined not to select many people, the Empress Dowager would have chosen a few more.
The candidate this time, Chu Yue, was just the daughter of a minor county magistrate. Her family background was too low, and she was not originally qualified to be a Zhaoyi. However, the Empress Dowager also considered that if something went wrong... so as compensation, she was given the title of Zhaoyi as soon as she entered the palace.
Hopefully, Consort Chu is indeed as the master said, a person with a strong destiny, and will be able to resolve her son's predicament.
"Your subject understands..." the emperor replied.
The Empress Dowager was helped away by her attendant, Aunt Jinxiu, muttering, "Heaven help me, Heaven help me..."
Xiao Xizi was so frightened by the emperor's dark expression that he dared not even breathe heavily.
Having served the emperor for so many years, he understood the emperor's methods.
If that person hadn't been the Empress Dowager, His Majesty would have had him dragged out long ago.
"Your Majesty...whether you..." go to the Jade Jade Palace.
Consort Chu is entering the palace today. If His Majesty goes there, he will inevitably have to serve him in bed.
The emperor remained seated, unwilling to go. Having held a high position for many years, he no longer wished to harm a woman in the prime of her life.
But his mother threatened to kill herself every day, so no matter what, he couldn't go against the mother who gave him life and raised him.
"Let's go."
After a long silence, with a helpless whisper, the emperor was the first to walk out.
Xiao Xizi followed.
