Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 547 Conscious

The previous day, Dugu Jingyao had asked Cui Caiping to go back and rest, while she slept on the Arhat couch in the master bedroom of the Chenxiang Pavilion. The next morning, Dugu Jingyao was already up at dawn. She washed and dressed quietly, fearing to wake Li Chu.

After having breakfast in the flower hall, Dugu Jingyao returned to the master bedroom to visit Li Chu. However, when she saw Li Chu's lifeless face, she couldn't help but feel a deep worry and helplessness in her heart.

"Donglang, when will you finally wake up?" Dugu Jingyao murmured to herself, a trace of unconcealable sadness in her voice. She stared at Li Chu quietly, as if she could see the pain in his heart through his closed eyes.

After a moment's silence, Dugu Jingyao finally couldn't help but sigh, "Donglang, although I don't know when you will wake up, I will always wait for you, no matter how long it takes. Not only me, but also Shi'er, Ying'er, and the unborn child in my belly... We will all be here waiting for you."

At this point, Dugu Jingyao's throat suddenly tightened, and her eyes gradually became moist. She quickly raised her head and blinked hard, forcing back the tears that were about to burst out.

After calming down a bit, Dugu Jingyao once again held Li Chu's hand and said softly, "I will go to the palace soon to report your situation to my father and mother. Now that you are unconscious, I don't know when you will regain consciousness. I am afraid that your original military power will fall into the hands of others. But don't worry, I will do my best to keep your current military power. But... if I still can't help you keep the military power, please don't blame me. But no matter what, our Dugu family army will always be your strongest backing."

It was not known whether Li Chu was showing signs of waking up, or whether he heard Dugu Jingyao's words and wanted to comfort her a little, but Dugu Jingyao clearly felt Li Chu's fingers shaking slightly.

Dugu Jingyao immediately burst into laughter, but she was still relatively calm. She did not make a big fuss, but just called Shi Jian in in a calm tone.

Dugu Jingyao whispered to Shijian, "Shijian, go call Lin Zhi over and ask her to take the pulse of the prince and me."

Shi Jian had no doubts and decided to go.

Not long after, Murong Linzhi and Si Jian arrived.

Dugu Jingyao asked Shi Jian and Si Jian to guard outside, and then said to Murong Linzhi: "Linzhi, I just held the prince's hand and felt his hand move. Can you help me see if he is about to wake up?"

Murong Linzhi felt that this might be a good sign, but she would have to wait until she saw it to know everything.

Murong Linzhi took Li Chu's pulse carefully and checked the fundus of his eyes. He found that although Li Chu showed no signs of waking up, he seemed to have some faint consciousness.

Murong Linzhi said: "Jingyao, I may need to insert a few needles into some of the more painful acupuncture points of His Highness the Prince of Chu to confirm my idea. You..."

Dugu Jingyao understood Murong Linzhi's intention. He was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so she said, "It's okay, you can do it. But if you can detect a reaction, don't do it again..."

Murong Linzhi nodded slightly and said, "Of course."

After saying that, Murong Linzhi skillfully took out a silver needle and stabbed Li Chu. Dugu Jingyao felt very distressed when she saw this, but Li Chu did not react at all.

So Murong Linzhi gave him a second injection, which was more painful than the previous one.

Fortunately, Li Chu seemed to feel some pain, so his fingers twitched.

Dugu Jingyao and Murong Linzhi both smiled with relief, which showed that Li Chu's senses were recovering.

Murong Linzhi said, "Jingyao, you must persist in the method I mentioned earlier. I believe His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu will wake up soon."

Dugu Jingyao has always handled things calmly, but this time, perhaps because she was pregnant or because of the good news, she burst into tears of joy.

Murong Linzhi quickly comforted Dugu Jingyao: "Jingyao, don't cry. You are still pregnant. Too much emotional fluctuation is not good for the fetus."

Dugu Jingyao controlled her emotions and said, "You're right. I need to go to the palace again. I'll trouble you to keep watch here. I'll ask Shi Jian to call Cui Caiping over."

Murong Linzhi said: "Okay, don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on this side."

Dugu Jingyao believed Murong Linzhi, so she called Shi Jian in and asked her to call Cui Caiping over. After Cui Caiping arrived, Dugu Jingyao took Shi Jian to the palace.

Dugu Jingyao was pregnant after all, so she chose to ride in a carriage. The carriage slowly drove along the noisy streets, and after about a quarter of an hour it arrived at the palace.

Dugu Jingyao was helped out of the carriage by Shi Jian and headed all the way to Fengyi Palace.

At this moment, Emperor Suzong was attending the morning court, so only the empress, Li Tan and Li Ruo were in Fengyi Hall.

In fact, Li Tan had already told Suzong and the Queen about Li Chu's situation, so the Queen didn't care about her dignity at that time. She was just a mother's concern and worry for her child, and she cried bitterly.

Suzong also expressed understanding. After all, Li Chu was his eldest son and the most talented prince. If he lost such a son, he would also feel sorry for him. So Suzong did not blame the queen, but always comforted her.

When the Queen saw Dugu Jingyao, she felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping to get some good news, so she did not let Dugu Jingyao be formal, but asked her to sit down quickly.

After Dugu Jingyao sat down, the Queen signaled Aunt Xu to guard outside the hall and not let anyone else approach.

Dugu Jingyao said, "Mother, you don't have to worry too much. I came here today to bring you two pieces of good news."

Li Neng quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, has my eldest brother woken up?"

Dugu Jingyao shook her head regretfully and said, "Not yet, but thankfully, I asked Miss Murong to check on him before coming to the palace this morning. The prince has regained some consciousness, which means he's starting to recover from the nightmare. Miss Murong said that as long as I stay by his side and talk to him more, reminiscing about the past, he'll soon be able to wake up."

Hearing this, the queen touched her chest and said, "Amitabha, may the Buddha bless you."

Li Ruo also said, "Mother, I told you that my eldest brother is a lucky man and will definitely get better."

The Queen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ruo'er is right."

Then he looked at Dugu Jingyao and asked, "Jingyao, you just said there was another good news, what is it?"

Dugu Jingyao looked down at her belly and said, "Mother, I have some good news. I wanted to tell you later, but we are family, so I think it's okay. Besides, everyone around the prince at the time already knew about it."

Seeing Dugu Jingyao's actions, the Queen's eyes lit up and she seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Jingyao, are you pregnant again?"

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "My Queen Mother is wise. It's only been a month or so, so I didn't let anyone else know."

The Queen finally smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I believe Chu'er will wake up soon."

After discussing this matter, they talked about other topics and waited for Emperor Suzong to leave the court.
