Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 556: Li Chu looks like a child after waking up

Seeing the scene of Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao hugging each other, Li Neng felt incredible and even wondered if he was dreaming.

Murong Linzhi smiled with relief. Firstly, she felt relieved that Li Chu had finally woken up. Secondly, she was happy for Dugu Jingyao. Dugu Jingyao was very reluctant to leave Li Chu even though she was pregnant. She had been waiting for him to wake up, and now her wish had finally come true.

Although Si Jian has a carefree personality, she is not stupid. She knows that no matter how happy she is, this is not the time to shout. She is happy and wants to cry, with smiles in her tears.

Shi Jian happened to turn around and saw three people coming in. Not wanting to break the warmth of the moment, she waved to them to come in first.

The three of them understood, so they quietly walked in. Shi Jian saw Si Jian crying with joy, and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Although they didn't say much, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao knew someone was coming. Although Li Chu was reluctant to let go, Dugu Jingyao still whispered in Li Chu's ear: "Donglang, you've been sleeping for a long time. It's not suitable for you to sit for a long time now that you just woke up. Let me help you lie down."

Li Chu did use all his strength to hold Dugu Jingyao for a while, but now he really had no strength left, so he gladly accepted the suggestion.

Because Li Chu had little strength now, Feng Shengyi and Shi Jian were afraid that Dugu Jingyao would get a stomachache, so they surprisingly moved in unison and walked to the couch together to help Dugu Jingyao.

Li Chu was stunned by the sudden appearance of two people. Before he could react, Feng Shengyi took over. Feng Shengyi supported him, and Shi Jian brought a pillow to cushion Li Chu's back.

Only then did Li Neng dare to step forward and say, "Brother, you are finally awake. We have been so worried about you and have been hoping that you would wake up soon."

Li Chu leaned on the pillow and smiled weakly, "I'm sorry to have worried everyone."

Dugu Jingyao said, "I'm glad you woke up. By the way, let Lin Zhi take a look at you first."

Murong Linzhi nodded slightly. Li Neng handed the medicine box to Murong Linzhi and took it to the side. Murong Linzhi took out the pulse pillow and took Li Chu's pulse.

After taking his pulse, Murong Linzhi smiled and said, "Your Highness is now in good health, and all the toxins have been expelled. He's just a little weak from being in a coma for so long. He just needs to rest and he'll be back to normal."

Dugu Jingyao asked, "Does the prince need some tonic?"

Murong Linzhi shook his head and said, "Don't do that. The prince is too weak to be nourished. He just needs to start with a light diet and gradually increase the amount. He also needs to get out of bed and walk around every day, otherwise the muscles in his legs will atrophy."

Feng Shengyi took note of it silently, and Dugu Jingyao also said that she understood it. She said to Shijian, "Shijian, go to the small kitchen and ask someone to prepare some porridge and side dishes, and tell them that I'm hungry." Shijian agreed and went forward.

Li Ruo felt much more relaxed upon learning that Li Chu was fine. Now, she wasn't interested in anything else. Instead, she could not help but sigh in amazement and teased, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Third Brother, how did you become a medicine boy?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Li Neng and found that Li Neng was holding Murong Linzhi's medicine box in his hand.

Li Neng cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, why am I the medicine boy? I'm just kindhearted and couldn't bear to see Miss Murong suffer, so I helped carry it."

These two siblings had always loved to argue since they were young. Li Ruo naturally wouldn't let Li Neng get away with it, so she said, "I'm your biological sister, so why have you never helped me carry anything? Besides, the Empress Dowager sent Si Jian to help Sister Murong, so how could it be your turn to carry anything?"

It was the first time that Li Neng was at a loss for words and even blushed.

Looking at the two of them, Dugu Jingyao felt deeply relieved. It seemed that this marriage was going to be successful.

Even Murong Linzhi understood what Li Ruo meant, and her face flushed. She lowered her head and whispered, "Your Highness, please return the medicine box to me."

Li Neng reacted, but after a moment of calmness, he said, "It's okay. Don't listen to Ruo'er. I volunteered to bring it up."

Those who understood were all laughing on the side. Seeing that she couldn't get the medicine box back, Murong Linzhi could only say, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Highness."

After a while, Shi Jian returned with some porridge and side dishes and placed them beside the couch. However, Li Chu had just woken up and was not very strong, so he had to be fed by others. This task naturally fell to Dugu Jingyao.

Seeing that Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao had finally reunited, everyone didn't want to disturb them, so they each found a reason to leave the inner room. However, before leaving, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao reminded them not to tell anyone else present that Li Chu had awakened, and everyone kept it in mind.

After washing her hands, Dugu Jingyao scooped up some porridge with a spoon, blew on it gently, and fed it to Li Chu. Li Chu was enjoying this moment very much, because he clearly remembered that in that dream, he and Dugu Jingyao were not in love. It was only after he became emperor that he realized the importance of Dugu Jingyao. In the dream, the person he loved was Shen Zhenzhu, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Dugu Jingyao saw that Li Chu was lost in thought, eating mechanically, and felt a little scared. She called out softly, "Dong Lang, Dong Lang..."

Li Chu came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong, Ayao?"

Seeing Li Chu answer her, she felt relieved. She said, "It's okay. I just saw that you were a little absent-minded. I fed you the food but you didn't open your mouth. I was afraid that you haven't come out of the nightmare yet."

Li Chu heard this and asked, "Nightmare?"

Dugu Jingyao nodded: "Yes, Lin Zhi said that you were in a nightmare, so you haven't woken up yet."

Li Chu murmured to himself: "Is this really just a dream?"

Dugu Jingyao didn't hear clearly and asked, "What did you say, Donglang?"

Li Chu looked at Dugu Jingyao and said coquettishly: "It's nothing, I'm still a little hungry, I need Ayao to feed me."

Dugu Jingyao just wondered why Li Chu had become more like a child after he fell into a coma. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, okay." Then she scooped a spoonful of white porridge and added some pickles, saying, "Be good, open your mouth."

Li Chu felt that although he was treated as a child, he was extremely happy at this moment.

The atmosphere in the room between Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao was warm and harmonious, but Feng Shengyi's face was full of worry.

Shi Jian asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Feng Shengyi said, "I was so happy that I forgot to report what I found out."

Shi Jian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "It's okay. In this situation, even if you want to report, I guess they won't listen for now. Just report later."

Feng Shengyi said: "It's just that the situation is urgent, it's better to tell them earlier so that we can take precautions."

Hearing this, Shi Jian felt something was amiss and asked, "But what problem did you find?"

Feng Shengyi nodded, and then whispered to Shi Jian. After hearing what he said, Shi Jian also understood the importance of the matter and felt that it could not be delayed too long.

About half an hour later, Feng Shengyi and Shi Jian discussed knocking on the door and going in to report.

Unexpectedly, the door opened from the inside and Dugu Jingyao came out. It turned out that after Li Chu drank the porridge, the two chatted for a while. Li Chu was a little tired, so when Li Chu fell asleep, Dugu Jingyao came out.

Dugu Jingyao whispered, "The prince has gone to bed, I will go back and rest for a while, Feng Shengyi, you stay here, remember to call me if you need anything."

Feng Shengyi was about to say that he had something to report, but was stopped by Shi Jian, who gave him a look that showed he was at ease being here.

After returning to Wangyuexuan, Dugu Jingyao was indeed a little tired. She just went to the side hall to see Li Shi and Li Ying, didn't play with them much, and then went back to her bedroom.

While helping Dugu Jingyao take off her hair accessories, Shi Jian said, "Princess, Feng Shengyi has found some clues."

After hearing this, Dugu Jingyao remembered that before Li Chu woke up, Feng Shengyi seemed to have said that she would report the progress of the investigation, but Li Chu suddenly woke up, and she was so happy that she forgot about it.

Dugu Jingyao glanced back at Shi Jian, who was as calm as ever. She guessed that Feng Shengyi had probably told Shi Jian about the matter. So, facing the dressing mirror, she asked, "What did you find out?"

Shi Jian continued to speak without stopping his hands, "Princess, Feng Shengyi has found that there is indeed something fishy about Madam Du. Her father was once a general under An Lushan, but he died during the An Lushan Rebellion. Furthermore, Feng Shengyi said that when Madam Du was in Nanjing, she also employed secret guards who were no less powerful than the Dugu family army. Most of them used lethal techniques, intending to kill them."

After hearing this, Dugu Jingyao could understand why Mrs. Du wanted to kill Li Chu and others. After all, those who went to provide disaster relief had made contributions to the suppression of the Anshi Rebellion. It was also possible that Mrs. Du wanted to avenge her father.

However, Dugu Jingyao still had some doubts: "If she wants to avenge her father, that's reasonable, but I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

Shi Jian asked, "Does the princess have any questions?"

After removing the headdress, Shi Jian helped Dugu Jingyao to her feet and said, "There are some suspicious points. I heard that although Magistrate Du has saved a lot of money and didn't use it for disaster relief, he is a coward. He can't spend money on secret guards, and their skills are not inferior to those of the Dugu family army who have been fighting for a long time. This Madam Du must have some secrets that we haven't discovered. We must find a way to meet with Lord Du."

Shi Jian said, "Princess, you are pregnant now, so it is not appropriate for you to go to the prison. If there is a chance, I will go and help you check."

Dugu Jingyao sat on the couch and said to Shi Jian, "It's okay. I always feel that Madam Du is planning something. And the people who assassinated the prince and his men on the way back said that they were sent by a woman. In fact, they were mainly trying to save Madam Du, but who was it that wanted to save her? Did she foresee that she would be captured in advance? This is unlikely. It means that there is someone helping her, and it is a woman. So, you ask Feng Shengyi to send someone to investigate Lord Du and Concubine Lan Shu again."

Although Shi Jian didn't understand the reason for a moment, he still agreed. After Dugu Jingyao lay down, Shi Jian tucked in the corners of the quilt for her before going out to find Feng Shengyi.
