Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Grandpa Gao watched from the side, his heart filled with shock.

Consort Qin entered the palace late and had not learned the rules well enough. She even got up later than His Majesty and failed to help him get dressed.

Eunuch Gao couldn't help but feel worried for Chu Yun. He remembered that three years ago, a newly arrived concubine was also unruly and got up later than His Majesty. She was immediately banished to the Cold Palace.

Eunuch Gao kept his eyes down, his head bowed, not daring to speak, but in his mind he was thinking about what he should say when Qi Jingheng lost his temper, so as not to get implicated.

"I am late, Your Majesty, please forgive me." Chu Yun knelt on the ground, her voice trembling.

Her voice was beautiful, and when it trembled and broke, it had an indescribable charm that could send chills down one's spine. Qi Jingheng had already experienced it yesterday, but he felt that such a voice should be heard between the bed curtains, not at this moment, as it would make him feel like he was abusing her.

Qi Jingheng remained silent, causing everyone's hearts to tighten and their breathing to become lighter. After all, it was common knowledge in the palace that His Majesty had a bad temper.

Of course, this is just a euphemism. His Majesty's temper is quite unpredictable. One moment he may be smiling at you, and the next he may be frowning.

Ruthless and capricious, this was the biggest impression the servants in the palace had of Qi Jingheng.

They just didn't expect that Qi Jingheng wouldn't make a scene today; he simply said coldly, "Get up."

Although his tone was harsh, at least he didn't fly into a rage.

The palace maids and eunuchs serving them subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it seemed His Majesty was in a good mood today, and Consort Qin was lucky to have caught a good time.

Chu Yun didn't feel lucky. As soon as Qi Jingheng finished speaking, her face turned pale. After thanking him in a trembling voice, she pursed her lips and stood aside with her head down.

She was like a withered flower, and seeing this, Qi Jingheng felt a growing gloom in his heart.

He strode off with a cold expression.

People in the palace all have their own methods of gathering information.

Almost everyone knew that Consort Qin had displeased His Majesty on her very first day of being favored. It was said that His Majesty looked very unwell when he left, and Consort Qin's subsequent act of summoning the imperial physician only confirmed this news.

"I thought she was so capable, but she's just a pretty face with no substance. She was so scared that she had to call the imperial physician." Consort Shu sneered as she stroked the nail guards on her fingers.

Her head maid, Qingdai, chimed in, "I heard that Consort Qin grew up in a nunnery and was very weak. She was also uneducated and lacked manners. She was only brought home a little over a month before entering the palace. Such a person is naturally just a pretty face with no substance."

"She's already offended His Majesty. I'd like to see if her pretty face is still of any use." Consort Shu laughed heartily.

"Your Majesty, Consort Qin is clearly on her deathbed. Do you still want to win her over?" Fuling asked cautiously.

Yesterday, half of the newlyweds came to pay their respects to Consort Xian and Consort Shu, but Consort Xian didn't find any of them to her liking. Noble Lady Ya was not bad, but her family background was too good. Consort Xian was afraid that she would raise a tiger that would bite her in the future, which gave her a big headache.

"I originally thought she was clever, but I didn't expect her to be so useless. Well, let's invite Consort Ya over in a few days," Consort Xian said in a deep voice.

Consort Xian was indeed not as concerned about Qi Jingheng's favor as Consort Shu, but that did not mean she thought the emperor's favor was unimportant. In this palace, you may not be the sole favorite or the most favored, but you must never be without favor or annoy the emperor.

Once the emperor dislikes you, no matter how beautiful you are, it's useless.

Consort Shu is a very intelligent person, so naturally she would not try to win over someone that Qi Jingheng dislikes.

Chu Yun never expected that Qi Jingheng's few glances and her act of summoning the imperial physician would lead the concubines in the harem to imagine so much.

She is now desperately begging the imperial physician for medicine.

The physician who came was an old man with a long beard. Chu Yun didn't want to tell him the truth, so she asked him indirectly for medicine to treat her bruises.

Unexpectedly, Physician Wang was very conscientious and asked in detail: "Where is Your Highness injured? If it is just a common bruise, that's easy to say. But if the bone is injured, that's serious. Please explain more clearly."

Chu Yun hesitated, unsure how to begin.

"Chang twisted her ankle this morning, it's just a common bruise, a bottle of Jade Face Cream will cure it," Shuangxue chimed in from the side.

Physician Wang nodded, "That's easy. I'll have someone send it to Consort Chang shortly."

After the imperial physician left, Chu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't injured in her foot, but in her knee.

Qi Jingheng is a madman who has no mercy for women. He used all sorts of tricks on the very first time. The original owner's knees were injured when she knelt on the bed, but Chu Yun was too tired at the time and did not notice. When she woke up this morning, as soon as she got off the bed, Chu Yun knelt on the ground with her knees swollen high, making it difficult for her to even get dressed, which caused the delay.

Shuangxue half-squatted down and slowly removed Chu Yun's underpants. Seeing Chu Yun's knees, which were even more swollen than this morning, the little girl almost cried. Although Shuangxue was well-versed in theoretical knowledge, she did not expect this to be so terrible and torturous. She liked Chu Yun, her new master, and did not want Chu Yun to suffer.

Seeing the redness around Shuangxue's eyes, Chu Yun said, "It just looks scary. I'm always like this. Even a small bump or scrape will make me swell up. His Majesty was very gentle with me yesterday, so don't worry."

It's all Chu Wushuang's fault. Although his Dream Without Trace made Chu Yun's skin as smooth as tofu, it was also as fragile as tofu. In addition, Qi Jingheng used a lot of force yesterday, so she looked even more miserable.

Zilu had just entered when she heard this. She was a little surprised, not expecting her new master to be so gentle, even comforting a maid.

Unfortunately, the little maid who had just stopped crying couldn't comfort Chu Yun at all after seeing the bruises on her body. She sniffled as she applied medicine to Chu Yun.

Shuangxue cried bitterly, but her movements were very gentle. Chu Yun lay on the bed, comforting her softly. Although she knew it was useless, she never stopped comforting her.

*

The news about Zi Luo spread quickly, and Qi Jingheng learned about Chu Yun's knee injuries as soon as he finished court.

Qi Jingheng's eyes darkened slightly as he recalled her shaky steps that morning.

As he continued reading, Qi Jingheng couldn't help but recall the scene of Chu Yun gently comforting the maid beside him. Although he couldn't see or hear it, he couldn't help but smile.

Yesterday, she also pleaded with him in a soft voice.

"Could you slow down? I'm feeling a little unwell."

Her pleading tone was tinged with a hint of ingratiation; her eyes were brimming with tears as she stared intently at him.

Qi Jingheng felt that the way she comforted people should be similar to how she begged for mercy. She would look at you with those innocent and clear eyes, and coax you with her soft voice to soften your heart.

Although Qi Jingheng did not ultimately let Chu Yun go, he did have a moment of weakness at that time.
