Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 452 Cui Caiping restrains her temper

Without the protection of the Yang family and her mother, Cui Caiping seemed to have grown up overnight. Her former arrogance and domineering nature gradually subsided, replaced by a cautious and cautious approach to life. She began to quietly emulate her mother's ways of dealing with the world, striving to adapt to life without a strong support system.

After careful consideration, Cui Caiping decided to temporarily put aside her former pride and willfulness and choose to recuperate. After all, the fetus in her belly had become her last ray of hope in life.

So the night before, she had already instructed her personal maids, Mo Xin and Lian Xin, to get up early the next day. Although what she had to do was the same as usual, this time it wasn't just about gaining favor; the more important thing was to protect her unborn child with all her might.

Sure enough, that morning, shortly after Li Chu stepped out of Wangyuexuan, he ran into Cui Caiping. Li Chu had been deeply upset about accidentally getting Cui Caiping pregnant. Seeing her now, he was naturally reluctant.

The sharp-eyed Lian Xin saw Li Chu and Feng Shengyi beside him from afar, and hurriedly whispered to Cui Caiping beside her: "Madam, look, it's His Highness and Guard Feng walking up ahead!"

Hearing this, Cui Caiping looked up and saw Li Chu with an impatient look on his face. However, this was the road he had to pass through to get from Wangyue Pavilion to the main hall, and there was no way to avoid it.

Helpless, Cui Caiping had to quicken her pace with the support of Lianxin and Moxin, and hurried to Li Chu. Then, she bowed to Li Chu very politely and said softly, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Li Chu casually raised his hand and said, "Get up. It's so cold, and today isn't the day to pay respects to the princess. What are you doing here so early?"

Cui Caiping wore no makeup, but bowed her head politely and said, "Your Highness, I am waiting for you."

Li Chu asked suspiciously, "You're already pregnant, and you're still using these little tricks?"

Although Cui Caiping felt hurt, she had other things to do today, so she naturally didn't care about Li Chu's cold words. She said, "I came to see Your Highness today to ask for your protection. It doesn't matter if Your Highness doesn't like me, but this child is yours. I hope Your Highness will put aside the past grudges and protect this child."

Li Chu was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Cui Caiping would ask him to protect her child. She was a little smarter than before, but... not smart enough.

He looked at Cui Caiping with interest. "Don't you know the saying 'hate the whole house and the whole dog'? Aren't you afraid that I don't like this child?"

Cui Caiping's eyes were a little flustered, but she managed to calm down: "I just believe that Your Highness is not a cold-blooded person."

Li Chu raised his lips and said, "In that case, please tell me what you want. If it's just a matter concerning the inner court, you can report it to the princess. If it's a matter concerning your mother and the Cui Mansion, I'm sorry I can't help you."

Cui Caiping felt her heart pierced once again, but she shed two clear tears and said, "I know it was my mother who did something wrong, so I dare not plead for her. I only ask that a small kitchen be set up in Linglong Pavilion during my pregnancy, and that someone be assigned to boil medicine and cook."

Seeing that Cui Caiping was not as pretentious as before, Li Chu softened his heart a little. After all, she was his child, so he would just agree to her on this matter. However, if someone really wanted to attack her, he would have no way to stop her.

Then he said, "Okay, I approve. Feng Shengyi, go tell Zhang Deyu that I approve of setting up a small kitchen in Cui Liangdi's Linglong Pavilion."

Cui Caiping finally smiled after hearing this and bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Chu nodded slightly and said to Feng Shengyi, "By the way, the princess hasn't woken up yet. You should tell Shi Jian about this first, and ask her to tell her after she wakes up." Feng Shengyi hurried back to Wangyuexuan.

Li Chu saw that Cui Caiping hadn't left yet, so he frowned and asked, "Why haven't you gone back yet? It's freezing cold, and the New Year is almost here. I don't want anything bad to happen in your mansion anymore."

Cui Caiping finally came to her senses and bowed, saying, "Yes, I'll go back right away." Then, she let Mo Xin and Lian Xin help her leave.

In fact, although Li Chu's attitude towards her was still very stiff, she felt that Li Chu was probably still soft-hearted towards this child, and thought that she had grasped the key point of winning favor.

But little did she know that she was being too clever. Li Chu seemed to be concerned about her child, but in fact he just wanted to see if the person behind the scenes would make any move again.
