Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 349: Ups and Downs

That night, Li Chu sent someone to deliver a message to the palace saying that the location of Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue had been found, and it was confirmed that they were currently safe.

At the same time, Dugu Moyan also informed Dugu Xin and Murong Linzhi of this news.

After everyone learned that Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were safe, they felt relieved.

Including Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue who were still in the small dark room, they felt relieved when they knew that they had found themselves. In this way, they only needed to find a way to delay time and wait for Li Chu and others to rescue them.

That night, everyone finally had a good sleep.

The next morning, everyone went about their business as usual, and no one showed anything unusual during the morning court session.

After the morning court session, the prince and Li Chu stayed and went to the Shangshufang with the emperor.

The emperor was a little impatient, after all, he had been an emperor for so many years, so he didn't show it on his face. He asked in a deep voice: "Chu'er, yesterday you sent a message to the palace saying that Jingyao and Jingyue had been found. Why didn't you rescue them?"

Li Chu explained, "Grandpa Emperor, this is what happened. Yesterday, my brother-in-law and I found where A Yao and the others were. However, we didn't have a complete plan or sufficient preparations. However, we have confirmed that the two of them were not injured. They were just being held in a place similar to a woodshed. There are people guarding outside. Once we have a plan, we will go and rescue them."

The Emperor and the Crown Prince nodded upon hearing this. However, seeing Li Chu hesitate to speak, the Emperor couldn't help but ask with some confusion, "Chu'er, what else is there?"

Li Chu organized his words and replied, "Grandpa Emperor, that mansion does not belong to An Lushan, but to Shi Siming."

The emperor asked in disbelief, "What? These two people rebelled! They rebelled!"

The Crown Prince quickly advised, "Father, please save your body! Since we already know these two have ulterior motives, and the King of Yunnan is leaning towards us, we have a chance to suppress their rebellion, or in other words, we can minimize the casualties."

The emperor calmed his breath and said, "Heng'er is right."

However, Li Chu glanced at the Crown Prince cautiously, and then, as if struck by a thunderbolt, he said, "There is one more thing, Father, Lady Zhang is not dead..."

The prince looked at Li Chu in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?"

Li Chu repeated, "That Zhang is not dead, but is secretly being raised by Shi Siming..."

The emperor seemed to understand what Li Chu meant: "Are you saying that Zhang faked her own death and left the palace to hang out with Shi Siming?"

Li Chu didn't say anything, but the prince's face turned red with anger, and he almost fainted with rage.

Seeing this, Li Chu quickly stepped forward to support the prince and said, "Father, take care of yourself!"

The prince said nothing more, only feeling heartbroken. All the time he had been treating her with such care had gone to waste! But now was not the time to dwell on this.

The emperor asked again, "When do you plan to rescue them?"

Li Chu looked at the emperor and said, "It will be just the next two days, but we'll need A'yao and Yue'er to deal with them. It was just a rush yesterday, so we couldn't talk. But I believe in A'yao. She has seen us, and I believe she will definitely deal with Shi Siming and the others. If possible, we can change rooms, which will make it more convenient for us to act."

The Emperor nodded upon hearing this, and then comforted the Crown Prince, saying, "Heng'er, don't be angry. Wait for Chu'er and the others to rescue Jingyao and Jingyue. If possible, Chu'er will also kidnap Zhang and bring her here. Your father will decide what happens next."

Li Chu naturally agreed, as he also wanted to help his father avenge his previous shame. Then Li Chu sent the prince back and told the princess about the matter.

The Crown Princess's mood was like a roller coaster. She was first happy when she heard that Dugu Jingyao and her sister had been found, and that they would be rescued in two days.

But then he heard that Zhang was not only alive, but was colluding with the rebels, and he became angry again!

There was no other way, so Li Chu comforted the Crown Princess again, and when he saw that it was getting late, he left the palace.

Shi Siming went to the Shi Mansion in the suburbs because the emperor, the crown prince, and Li Chu had discussed a play about Li Chu's wife being abducted in the morning court yesterday. So Shi Siming came to the Shi Mansion after the court.

Zhang couldn't help but be surprised. In the past, he would come in the afternoon, and sometimes even in the evening. Today he came so early, and she was delighted.

Seeing Shi Siming enter the main hall, Zhang hurriedly moved her lotus steps to greet him: "A Ming, why are you here so early today?"

Shi Siming was not as pleasant as usual, nor did he look lustful and want to have something happen with her. Instead, he frowned and asked Zhang: "How are you doing with the question I asked you before?"

Hearing this, Zhang's smile froze for a moment, and she continued, "Ah Ming, I asked that Dugu Jingyue yesterday, but unfortunately, she didn't know anything."

Shi Siming was somewhat annoyed and said sternly, "Foolish! If I can't get the answer, I'll ask you! How can you just give up asking if you can't get the answer? Bring the man here, and I'll interrogate him myself!"

It was the first time Zhang had seen Shi Siming so furious with her. She snorted inwardly, "Humph, men really are no good!"

Although she thought so in her heart, she still maintained a respectful look on her face and sent the maid beside her to ask Yu Da to bring Dugu Jingyao.
