Chapter 424 Visiting Dugu Xin
Chapter 424 Visiting Dugu Xin
On the second day, Liu Jingyue got up early and waited on the road that Li Chu had to take to go to court.
Li Chu saw Liu Jingyue and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Yuer is here so early? Could something have happened to Ayao?"
So he quickened his pace and walked towards Liu Jingyue. Liu Jingyue bowed slightly and said, "Hello, brother-in-law."
Li Chu asked in a low voice: "No need to be so polite, but what happened to your sister?"
Liu Jingyue shook her head and said, "No, it's just that my sister is worried about Daddy. I thought if my brother-in-law could have someone send me over to see Daddy, I would bring some things for Daddy and then come back to tell my sister about Daddy's condition. Once she hears that, she'll feel relieved and maybe she won't be so upset with you anymore."
Li Chu was about to explain when he heard this, but after thinking for a while, he guessed that Liu Jingyue must be in the same situation as them, so he continued, "Yuer is right. It was my negligence. In that case, Feng Shengyi, you arrange for someone to escort Yueer to see her father-in-law."
Feng Shengyi agreed, and Li Chu said, "Then I will go to court first."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Liu Jingyue naturally let Li Chu leave, and then said to Feng Shengyi: "Master Feng, this princess is waiting for your news."
Feng Shengyi agreed, and Liu Jingyue turned around and went back to Wangyuexuan.
Wutong told Li Wanqing about this, and Li Wanqing said, "Wait a little longer." Then she continued reading.
After hearing about this, Zheng Wan felt that if Liu Jingyue could mediate, perhaps Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao could reconcile faster, and she would have to drink fewer bowls of contraceptive soup...
Soon, Dugu Jingyao packed a lot of warm things for Liu Jingyue and asked her to take them to Dugu Xin. Feng Shengyi also came to Wangyuexuan. Shi Jian saw him coming and asked him to wait outside while he went in to report.
Not long after, Liu Jingyue came out with them, but Dugu Jingyao was nowhere to be seen.
After Liu Jingyue and Feng Shengyi left, Dugu Jingyao sent Shijian out to send a carrier pigeon to inform Dugu Moyan of the matter.
About an hour later, Dugu Moyan received the letter. After reading it, he slammed the table and said, "How dare An Lushan attack Father! But fortunately, Father is not seriously injured, and An Lushan has been arrested. In this case, there is no need for our team to be in danger. Lieutenant General Zhang, we can prepare to set off to reunite with Father and his men."
Lieutenant General Zhang was unsatisfied after hearing this: "Ah? It's over? We ran all this way for nothing?"
Dugu Moyan stepped forward and patted Deputy General Zhang on the shoulder, saying, "Hey? How can you say it was a wasted trip? It wasn't in vain. After we return, you will stay in the camp outside the capital. You will be Yao'er's future strength. You must protect her for us."
Hearing this, Deputy General Zhang suddenly felt that he too had a heavy responsibility, so he said solemnly, "Please rest assured, my lord. We will do our utmost to protect the Grand Princess, oh, no, the Princess."
Dugu Moyan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, I will leave for Chang'an in a moment. You wait for news from this prince. After I send you a letter by carrier pigeon, you will take the remaining Dugu family troops to Chang'an."
Deputy General Zhang agreed, but he said, "But Chang'an is not like Yunnan. Can we stay here forever?"
Dugu Moyan said, "Don't worry. Didn't Daddy say that Yao'er's dowry would include 10 Dugu family soldiers? So you can stay in Chang'an at ease. You may not be able to go in, but can only garrison in the suburbs."
Lieutenant General Zhang felt relieved after hearing this and said, "Yes, Prince. Be careful on the road then."
Dugu Moyan nodded, motioned him to leave, and began to pack his bags.
About an hour later, Liu Jingyue, escorted by Feng Shengyi and the others, arrived at the military camp where Dugu Xin was temporarily stationed. Zhishu and Shili helped carry things, while Liu Jingyue asked anxiously, "Feng Shengyi, which tent is my father in?"
Feng Shengyi arranged for other people to help get the things, and then said, "Princess, please follow me." After that, he led Liu Jingyue to the tent where Dugu Xin was.
Today, Dugu Xin was no longer like when he just woke up, where he could only lie in bed and feel dizzy when he stood up. Now he could get up and leave the bed, but the winter in Chang'an was not as warm as that in Yunnan, so he could only walk around in the tent.
When Liu Jingyue came in, she saw Dugu Xin wandering around in the tent.
Liu Jingyue looked at Dugu Xin and saw that apart from the tight bandage on his head, he seemed no different from usual. So she called out cheerfully, "Daddy!"
Dugu Xin's eyes lit up when he heard the voice. He turned around and saw Liu Jingyue running towards him. He also raised his voice and said, "Yue'er, the conditions here are difficult. Why did you come here?"
Liu Jingyue ran to Dugu Xin and motioned him to sit down. Dugu Xin sat down. Liu Jingyue whispered a few words to him, and Dugu Xin felt that his headache and leg pain were gone. He said in surprise, "Yao'er actually..." Realizing that his voice was a little loud, he whispered, "Yao'er is pregnant! Very good, very good. Then let her take good care of herself at home. You go back and tell Yao'er that her father is fine and will be able to return to Chang'an City in a few days."
Liu Jingyue nodded and said, "Don't worry, Daddy. Now I can see with my own eyes that you're fine. I'll tell my sister when I get back. She'll definitely be relieved and reconcile with her brother-in-law as before."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin asked, "Did they have a fight?"
Liu Jingyue sighed and recounted the story of their quarrel. But Liu Jingyue concluded, "Now that I'm sure Daddy is safe, I'll go back and try to persuade him. We should be able to reconcile. Don't worry, Daddy."
Dugu Xin was truly regretting this. If he had known earlier, he should not have agreed to An Lushan's request. This way, Yao'er wouldn't have been frightened, and the couple wouldn't have quarreled...
Seeing Dugu Xin blaming himself, Liu Jingyue comforted him, "Dad, don't blame yourself. This isn't entirely your fault. It was all caused by An Lushan and his gang. Now that they've been apprehended, things will be quiet for a while."
Dugu Xin nodded. Seeing that Dugu Xin was still in a bad mood, Liu Jingyue said, "Oh, by the way, Dad, my sister asked me to bring you a lot of things. Zhishu and Shili, hurry up and bring the things in!"
Soon, several people came in with large and small bags of things. Liu Jingyue opened them one by one and showed them to Dugu Xin. There were warm clothes, cloaks, knee pads...
When Dugu Xin saw these things, a warm feeling surged in his heart and he almost burst into tears.
Liu Jingyue stayed here for a while, waiting for the military doctor to come and check Dugu Xin's pulse and confirm that he was fine. He then watched Dugu Xin drink the medicine, and then he felt relieved and went back to Prince Guangping's Mansion with Feng Shengyi.
