Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 464 Good News and Bad News

Early the next morning, the emperor and others returned to Chang'an. As soon as Li Chu returned to Prince Guangping's Mansion, he took a hot bath and changed into new clothes before going to find Dugu Jingyao.

Dugu Jingyao was looking at the account books sent by the store. When Li Chu entered the room, he said, "Ayao, why are you still looking at the account books? You should have a good rest."

Dugu Jingyao sat up straight and said, "Donglang is back, come and sit down."

Li Chu quickly came to Dugu Jingyao and sat down. He said, "From now on, you can let Boss Liu check the account books. Don't worry about it."

Dugu Jingyao also refuted: "I am pregnant, not blind, and I am fine anyway. Of course I have to be clear about my own property."

Li Chu knew he couldn't convince her, so he gave up and said, "Okay, but don't look at it for too long at a time, otherwise your waist will hurt if you sit for too long."

Dugu Jingyao smiled gently and said, "Yes, I will follow your instructions!"

Li Chu also looked at Dugu Jingyao lovingly. Dugu Jingyao seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, Donglang, I have two pieces of news here, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Li Chu thought to himself: Why are you still keeping us in suspense? But he was willing to play along, so he said, "Then let me hear the bad news first! After all, no matter what the good news is, it won't be worse than the bad news."

Dugu Jingyao agreed deeply, and then said, "The bad news is that although Cui Caiping was cautious enough, she was still tricked."

Li Chu frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Dugu Jingyao explained in detail, "I noticed a sore at the corner of her mouth when I was paying my respects a couple of days ago, but she said it might be from a sore on her throat lately, so I didn't take it seriously. Until yesterday, Si Jian brought it up again. She said that since Mr. He checked Cui Caiping's pulse half a month ago and said that eating fish and shrimp properly would be good for the child, Cui Caiping has been eating fish and shrimp twice a day. But yesterday, I asked Lin Zhi to come and check my pulse, so I asked about this issue. Lin Zhi said that although she uses it frequently, it shouldn't reach the point of having a sore at the corner of her mouth in less than half a month."

Li Chu was curious when he heard this and asked, "So what's going on?"

Dugu Jingyao continued, "Later, after calling Cui Caiping over for questioning and having Lin Zhi examine her pulse, we discovered traces of cinnabar in her body."

Li Chu frowned and asked, "Cinnabar? Have you found out who made it?"

Dugu Jingyao sat up and shook her head, saying, "Not yet. So far, we've only found out that someone tampered with the fish and shrimp feed she was eating."

Although Li Chu didn't really want to have a child with Cui Caiping, this was his child after all, and they were related by blood. He felt a little reluctant, so he asked, "What about the child..."

Dugu Jingyao naturally knew what he wanted to ask. The two of them were exactly the same, both with sharp tongues but soft hearts. They both said that the child was gone, but in fact, they still couldn't bear to see such a small life get hurt.

She said, "Don't worry, the child is fine. Long-term use of the drug can cause birth defects and harm Cui Caiping's body. However, since it was discovered in time, she will be fine if she follows Lin Zhi's prescription."

Li Chu's heart finally settled down. He said, "Fortunately, Ayao, you were smart and noticed something was wrong in time. Otherwise, Cui Caiping would have cried herself to death."

Dugu Jingyao shrugged helplessly and said, "I can't help it. I'm pregnant now, and I really can't bear to see this innocent little life suffer."

Li Chu smiled and looked at Dugu Jingyao and said, "Ayao is still kind."

But on second thought, Li Chu frowned again and said, "But if we don't catch the mastermind behind this, even if Cui Caiping stops eating fish and shrimp, there will be endless ways to deal with her."

Dugu Jingyao was also worried about this. She said, "But I asked someone to check it out. It's not the production that's the problem. It's the live fish and shrimp that were delivered. I don't know how many people have handled it. How can we check it?"

Li Chu thought for a long time and asked, "Ayao, do you think this incident was still caused by someone from the mansion?"

Dugu Jingyao pondered for a long time. If it was someone in the mansion who did it, then it was Zheng Wan who had a problem with Cui Caiping. But she was always so simple-minded that even if she wanted to plot against Cui Caiping, she wouldn't have thought of such a complicated method. If it was only herself and Li Wanqing who had the ability to do it, then if she didn't do it, then it must be Li Wanqing. But would Li Wanqing strike again so soon after being caught? Probably not. After all, she was a smart person. If she wanted to stay in this mansion, she wouldn't have attacked Cui Caiping so quickly. Could it be someone outside the mansion?

Seeing Dugu Jingyao remained silent for a long time, Li Chu poked Dugu Jingyao's palm with his finger. Dugu Jingyao felt itchy and came to her senses and said, "Oh, stop it, I'm thinking about something."

Li Chu asked, "Ayao, do you think this incident wasn't done by someone from the mansion?"

Dugu Jingyao nodded and told Li Chu her thoughts. In fact, Li Chu thought so too, but they really couldn't figure out who did it?

In the end, the two decided to discuss the matter later and think about something happy.

Li Chu asked, "By the way, Ayao, didn't you say there was another piece of good news? What is it?"

Dugu Jingyao didn't expect Li Chu to change the subject so quickly. She asked, "Why did you change the subject so suddenly..."

Li Chu pretended to act coquettishly and said, "Since you can't figure out who it is, then forget about it. Ah Yao, please tell me quickly, what is the good news?"

Dugu Jingyao pretended to be helpless and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll tell you, come here."

Li Chu leaned over to listen. After Dugu Jingyao finished speaking, he was so shocked that his pupils could be said to be shaking. He looked at Dugu Jingyao in disbelief and asked, "Really? Yao! We are going to have two children?"

Dugu Jingyao looked at him with a surprised look and said, "Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Li Chu was so happy that he wanted to pick up Dugu Jingyao and spin her around. But when you saw her belly, he withdrew his hand, stood up and spun around.

Dugu Jingyao watched from the side and couldn't stop laughing and said, "What are you doing? Come back and sit down."

Li Chu sat back down obediently and said, "I'm happy! But it will be even harder for you to give birth. No, I have to ask if there is any way to make your delivery easier."

Dugu Jingyao quickly held him down and said, "There's no way to make it easier. Don't go. Lin Zhi told me to move around more so that the birth will be easier."

Li Chu said: "Okay, I will accompany you to do some activities whenever I have time in the future."

Dugu Jingyao nodded, but Li Chu's next words were: "We have nothing to do now, why don't we go out for a walk?"

Dugu Jingyao had indeed become a little lazier since she became pregnant. She begged, "Can we have lunch first?"

For the sake of Dugu Jingyao and the child, Li Chu didn't listen to her pleas this time. He stepped forward and took Dugu Jingyao's hand and said, "Ayao, be good. For the sake of you and the child's safety, it's worth the hard work now. I just want you both to be well."

Dugu Jingyao finally agreed and said, "Okay, I'll change my clothes then."

Li Chu kissed her forehead and said, "Okay, go ahead." After that, he helped Dugu Jingyao up, and Dugu Jingyao took Shi Jian to the side to change clothes.

After Dugu Jingyao changed her clothes, the two of them left Wangyuexuan. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and they basically walked around the entire palace before returning to Wangyuexuan.

Fortunately, Dugu Jingyao was a martial artist before, but she hadn't practiced for more than four months. She also had two babies in her belly, so she was still a little tired.

After returning to Wangyuexuan, Li Chu felt sorry for Dugu Jingyao, who was pounding her waist out of exhaustion. He stepped forward to help Dugu Jingyao rub her waist and said, "I'm so sorry, wasn't the intensity a bit too high today? I should have taken it step by step."

Dugu Jingyao said, "Well, I didn't think anything of it at the time. It was only after I took a break that I realized what was happening."

Li Chu still said distressedly: "I will help you rub it, you rest for a while, if you are tired, just take a rest."

After pressing for a while, Dugu Jingyao said, "Okay, okay, let's take a break. I'm really a little tired." Li Chu readily agreed, and the two returned to the couch and lay down in their clothes.
