Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 392 Cui Caiping thinks too much

Early the next morning, Cui Caiping opened her eyes in a daze, sat up, and felt someone beside her. She was so scared that she almost screamed. When she looked closely, it was Li Chu.

She just remembered that Li Chu came to have dinner with her yesterday, they drank wine together, and later... The more she thought about it, the more shy she became.

While she was busy being shy, Li Chu also opened his eyes, looked at Cui Caiping who was covering her mouth and laughing foolishly, and said, "Are you awake?"

Cui Caiping's thoughts were finally brought back to her senses. She said, "Oh, oh, I'm awake."

Li Chu stood up again and asked Cui Caiping, "Why are you still standing there? Hasn't anyone taught you the etiquette after serving the emperor in bed?"

Cui Caiping thought about what she had done with Li Chu yesterday...why was he still so indifferent to her today? In order not to annoy Li Chu, she quickly got out of bed and said, "Madam has taught me. I will go and prepare it right away."

So she called Lianxin and Moxin in and prepared the toiletries. During this time, Li Chu called Feng Shengyi over and whispered a few words to him.

Feng Shengyi responded and went out. After the things were prepared, Cui Caiping began to help Li Chu wash up. After that, she helped Li Chu put on his clothes. She originally wanted to invite Li Chu to stay and have dinner with her.

But who knew that Feng Shengyi would come back soon after, bringing a food box with him. Cui Caiping thought that Li Chu had prepared something for her, and she was overjoyed, with the corners of her mouth rising unconsciously.

But she was disappointed. Li Chu waved his hand, and Feng Shengyi brought the food box over and took out a bowl of black medicine from it.

Cui Caiping covered her nose and frowned, asking, "Your Highness, what is this? Is Your Highness sick?"

Li Chu also said straight to the point: "This is the contraceptive soup prepared for you."

Cui Caiping was really shocked when she heard this! She thought: Your Highness, you can be more tactful, or even lie to me! Is it so direct? Her eyes were red and she said, "Can I not drink?"

Li Chu sneered and said, "Do you think you're special? Li Wanqing and Zheng Wan both drank, so why can't you?"

Cui Caiping was really unwilling to accept it, and asked again: "Does the princess not want us to get pregnant? How could she be so..."

Before Cui Caiping could finish, Li Chu said, "Cui Caiping, be careful with your words. It's not that the princess doesn't want you to get pregnant, but I want a legitimate son first. The princess also said that as long as she can give birth to a legitimate son, she will stop giving you the contraceptive soup."

Cui Caiping thought to herself: You, Dugu Jingyao, are the only one who knows how to behave!

Li Chu continued, "You are indeed different from the other two. After paying respects to them, A Yao explained the matter to them and gave them the medicine, but you used it under my personal supervision."

Cui Caiping smiled bitterly and said, "It's so different, it's better not to have it." After saying that, she looked at the bowl of contraceptive soup, and finally a tear fell from the corner of her eye, and she pinched her nose and drank it.

Li Chu was relieved to see her finish the drink, and asked Mo Xin and Lian Xin to get some candied fruit for Cui Caiping. Before Cui Caiping could make any move, Li Chu said, "Very good. I hope you will continue to be so obedient in the future. I will leave now." After saying that, he turned around and left Linglong Pavilion without looking back.

After Li Chu came out of Linglong Pavilion, he naturally went to Wangyuexuan. After having breakfast with Dugu Jingyao, he went to court.

The plan to lure the snake out of its hole was also continuing. When Li Chu arrived at the palace gate, he happened to meet Dugu Moyan who came to attend court.

He dismounted and bowed to Dugu Moyan as a junior, saying, "Father." Dugu Moyan nodded in response and said, "No need for formalities. Let's go in together!"

The two of them entered the palace together and went to the meeting place, talking and laughing all the way.

When they arrived at the palace gate, because Dugu Moyan was a prince of a different surname, he naturally stood in the first row. Because Li Chu was only a prince, Dugu Moyan stood on Li Chu's left.

When the two saw the prince coming, they saluted together: "Your son (your humble servant) pays his respects to your father (Your Highness the Prince)." The prince naturally quickly asked the two to excuse themselves from the formalities.

The prince even pretended to ask, "Why are my in-laws here today?"

Dugu Xin sighed and said, "Although I'm reluctant to let Yao'er leave me so far away, I still have military affairs to deal with in Yunnan. I've been away for so long, it's time to go back."

The Crown Prince felt a little sorry, but he still tried to comfort her: "Don't worry, my dear. I and the Crown Princess will help you take care of Jingyao. If Chu'er or anyone else dares to bully Jingyao, I and the Crown Princess will definitely stand up for her and won't let her suffer any injustice."

Dugu Xin quickly thanked him, "Then I would like to thank the Crown Prince and Crown Princess on Yao'er's behalf!"

At this moment, a shrill-voiced eunuch shouted, "The Emperor has arrived!"

All the ministers knelt down and saluted, saying, "Your humble servants (your sons) pay their respects to Your Majesty!" The emperor called them to stand up, and everyone stood up after thanking him.

After getting up, the emperor saw a familiar face and asked, "My dear Dugu, why are you here today?"

Dugu Xin stepped out and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, the children and I have been away for a long time. We still have military matters to attend to in Yunnan, so we will be leaving for Yunnan soon."

The Emperor nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right. Yunnan is a frontier fortress of the Tang Dynasty. It is thanks to your Excellency and the Marquis of Zhennan that we have such peace and stability today. Don't worry, I will help you look after Jingyao after you return. If anyone bullies her, I will not forgive them!"

These words were meant to comfort Dugu Xin and also to warn certain people with bad intentions.

Dugu Xin quickly expressed his gratitude: "Then I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my daughter!" After saying that, Dugu Xin returned to his seat.

After the play was over, today's morning court session began.
