Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 417 Dugu Jingyao's Miscarriage

After entering Chang'an City, Guo Ziyi knew that Li Chu and Shi Jian were anxious to return to the Prince of Guangping's Palace, so he suggested: "Your Highness, you and Miss Shi Jian should return to the palace first. I will go and send Dr. Gongsun off."

Li Chu didn't hesitate to see this, and simply clasped his fists towards Divine Doctor Gongsun and said, "I'm sorry, Divine Doctor, I can't take you back. I'll have to trouble Lord Guo to take you back."

Divine Doctor Gongsun smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. We are already in Chang'an City now. I can go back on my own."

Guo Ziyi still insisted: "It doesn't matter if it's a miracle doctor. I'm on my way anyway, so let me take you back."

It was really hard to refuse such a kind offer, so Doctor Gongsun agreed, and then the few of them went their separate ways.

However, when Li Chu and Shi Jian returned to the mansion, they found it in a mess.

A servant saw Li Chu coming back and hurried forward to salute: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Li Chu asked, "What happened in your house? Why are you all so flustered?"

The servant hesitated, and Li Chu asked in a lowered voice, "What happened?"

The servant knelt hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, it's the princess..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chu and Shi Jian's hearts were in their throats. Li Chu asked, "What's wrong with the princess?"

The servant then told the whole story, "Your Highness, I heard that just now, when the princess and the county lord were strolling in the garden, they heard the maids discussing that the King of Yunnan had been injured while capturing a thief and his life was in danger. Then they began to feel a dull pain in their abdomen. The county lord immediately asked Miss Si Jian to carry the princess back to Wangyue Pavilion. Dr. Murong and the court physician are both in Wangyue Pavilion now."

Upon hearing this, Li Chu walked straight past the boy and even jogged all the way to Wangyuexuan.

Shi Jian hadn't expected that even though she had found a way to save Dugu Xin, the news of his injury still reached the princess's ears. She wondered who the bastard had done it, and if she caught him, she would definitely tear her tendons and skin her alive! With this thought in mind, Shi Jian followed closely behind and arrived at Wangyue Pavilion.

As soon as he entered Wangyue Pavilion, he found many people gathered there. In the warm room were Li Wanqing, Zheng Wan, the palace doctor, and Si Jian. The maid who was fetching water outside saw Li Chu and saluted him.

Upon hearing this, the others naturally shifted their attention to Li Chu. Several people in the warm room also came out to salute Li Chu and said, "Greetings to His Highness."

Li Chu ignored them and just looked at the palace doctor and asked, "How is the princess?"

The court doctor trembled and said, "Your Highness, the princess is still young and has experienced abdominal pain due to a sudden stimulus. Fortunately, Miss Si Jian found Dr. Murong in time. She said she has a way to save the baby and is currently working in the inner chambers."

Inside the house, Murong Linzhi had already used acupuncture to stabilize Dugu Jingyao's fetus, but because of the previous abdominal pain, Dugu Jingyao was still pale, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

After Murong Linzhi finished the acupuncture, he took Dugu Jingyao's pulse. Seeing that her condition had stabilized, he finally relaxed: "Jingyao, don't worry, the child is saved. Just remember, don't get angry or scared for three months, otherwise I may not be able to save the child next time."

Dugu Jingyao leaned against the headboard with Liu Jingyue's help. She smiled weakly and said, "Yes, Lin Zhi, I will follow the doctor's orders. It's just that I was a little excited when I first heard that my father was injured and unconscious. I asked Shi Jian to find out more about the situation, but he hasn't returned yet. I was really worried, so..."

Murong Linzhi also expressed her understanding. After all, anyone would be deeply worried when their loved one's fate is uncertain. So she told Dugu Jingyao the truth: "Jingyao, don't worry, uncle will be fine. Someone came looking for me, and I asked Master to treat uncle. I'm sure there will be no problem."

Dugu Jingyao reacted after hearing Murong Linzhi's words: "So, Linzhi, you also know that my father is injured and unconscious?"

Li Chu wanted to go into the house, but Shi Jian saluted and said, "Your Highness, I will go in first."

Li Chu thought about it and thought that Dugu Jingyao must be uncomfortable with his current appearance and the smell of blood, so he said, "Well, go ahead!"

Just as Murong Linzhi was being questioned by Dugu Jingyao, there was a knock on the door. Dugu Jingyao asked impatiently, "Who?"

Shi Jian hurriedly said, "Princess, this servant is Shi Jian."

Upon hearing this, Murong Linzhi knew that Dugu Xin was probably saved, so she came back.

When Dugu Jingyao heard that it was Shi Jian, her impatience disappeared and she said, "Come in."

Shi Jian moved upon hearing the sound, while Li Chu stood outside. This caused everyone who was originally keeping warm in the warm room to also suffer from the cold wind, but they did not dare to say a word.

Shi Jian pushed the door open and quickly closed it to avoid the cold air coming in. Then she walked to the bed, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This servant pays respects to the princess. It's all my fault. If I had come back earlier, I wouldn't have let you suffer through those treacherous people."

Dugu Jingyao's hope was rekindled. She didn't ask why Shi Jian had been gone for so long. She simply asked, "Do you have any news about Daddy?"

Shi Jian nodded and said, "Princess, I saw the prince wake up with my own eyes before returning. The doctor said that the prince is fine and will be back in a few days. You don't have to worry."

Upon hearing this, both Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue breathed a sigh of relief. Dugu Jingyao, perhaps because of her pregnancy, had tears in her eyes and murmured softly, "It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine. Finally, it won't be like the last life..."

Murong Linzhi and Shi Jian were farther away and didn't hear her, but Liu Jingyue, sitting next to her, overheard her words and wondered: What do you mean by "not like the last life"? Could it be... that my sister was reborn? If so, then everything would make sense. No wonder this place was completely different from the TV show!

But she didn't dwell on it, and just said excitedly: "That's great, as long as Daddy is okay!" Then she shook Dugu Jingyao's hand.

Dugu Jingyao was also moved by her expression and burst into laughter. She then glanced at Shi Jian who had not yet stood up and asked, "Shi Jian, thank you very much."

Shi Jian was confused and asked, "Princess, why are you thanking me?"

Dugu Jingyao smiled weakly and said, "If you hadn't gone to ask for the Divine Doctor Gongsun in time, Daddy wouldn't have woken up so quickly, right?"

Shi Jian quickly declined, "Princess, you are too kind. I was just doing my duty."

Dugu Jingyao said, "Don't kneel anymore, get up quickly. Oh, Shijian, go tell the people outside that I'm fine, and let them go back."

Shi Jian agreed, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then Princess, should we let His Royal Highness Prince Guangping in?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Jingyao said, "Well, let His Highness come in."

Shi Jian then responded and turned to leave.

Murong Linzhi said, "I've written you a recipe for a healthy pregnancy. The instructions are listed on it. However, since someone wants to harm you, they'll probably try again if they fail once. So, it's best to boil the medicine inside, otherwise it could be easily tampered with even in the small kitchen."

Dugu Jingyao nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

Murong Linzhi thought that Li Chu would be coming in soon, and the two of them must have some private space, so he packed up the medicine box and said, "In that case, I will go back first. If you feel unwell, send someone to call me."

Dugu Jingyao nodded and watched Shi Jian lead Li Chu into the house. Liu Jingyue said, "Sister Lin Zhi, let me see you off."

Murong Linzhi knew that she just wanted to make room for Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao, so she nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Jingyue."

So Liu Jingyue and Murong Linzhi walked out. When they passed by Li Chu, Murong Linzhi paid his respects to Li Chu. Liu Jingyue only said, "Hello, brother-in-law." Then she continued to walk out.

After Shi Jian led Li Chu in, he tactfully left, leaving only Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao in the room.

Dugu Jingyao saw Li Chu's miserable appearance and reached out to him, but Li Chu felt even more distressed when he saw Dugu Jingyao's haggard appearance.

Li Chu walked towards the bed, but when he was only a few steps away, Dugu Jingyao felt the urge to vomit. Li Chu was so scared that he could only stay where he was. He said, "Jingyao, don't worry, father is fine now. But the doctor said that he had a head injury after all, so he needs to stay there for a few days and can't move. I will go and pick him up in a few days."

To prevent herself from vomiting again, Dugu Jingyao covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "Donglang, you've been working hard. Have you been taking care of daddy over there? You probably didn't sleep all night. I'll have someone prepare some hot water for you. Go take a shower, change clothes, and then rest for a while!"

Looking at Dugu Jingyao's expression, Li Chu said, "Okay, I'll go take a shower and change clothes first. If you're tired, you can take a rest first."

Dugu Jingyao nodded, called out to Shijian and Sijian, and asked them to prepare hot water for Li Chu. Li Chu quickly left the bedroom and told Shijian to open the window slightly and use some fragrance to disperse the bloody smell in the room.

Shi Jian agreed, but they were also quick and efficient and quickly prepared hot water. In the inner room, Shi Jian walked into the room and repeated Li Chu's instructions to Dugu Jingyao.

At this time, Liu Jingyue had just returned from sending Murong Linzhi off. Seeing Shi Jian about to use perfume, she said, "Shi Jian, wait, since my sister is pregnant, you shouldn't use perfume anymore. And remember, it's best not to use anything with fragrance in the future, lest it be mixed with something that shouldn't be there and you can't smell it."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian nodded and said, "I'll remember that." There was nothing she could do but open the window to let the smell out.
