Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

The next morning, Li Chu got up early as usual. Looking at Dugu Jingyao who was still sleeping beside him, he blamed himself more and more for not taking the seriousness of the matter seriously.

But when he took a look at the white veil on the bed, he remembered this incident and almost forgot about it. So he got out of bed, picked up a knife without hesitation, and dripped a few drops of blood on the white veil.

The noise woke up Dugu Jingyao from her sleep. She asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

Li Chu saw that Dugu Jingyao had woken up, so he replied, "It's not even Yin time yet."

Dugu Jingyao was startled when she heard the man's voice. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Li Chu, she remembered: Yes, she had married Li Chu yesterday, and now she is the Princess of Guangping.

Li Chu listened to Dugu Jingyao's slightly hoarse voice, and in his heart he was annoyed that he was too anxious. He said with a mixture of heartache and concern: "Ayao, do you want some water?"

Dugu Jingyao did feel her throat was very dry, so she nodded, and Li Chu went to the table to pour her a glass of water. Dugu Jingyao sat up, took the water from Li Chu, and drank it all.

Then she looked at Li Chu eagerly and handed him the cup, saying that she wanted to drink another cup. Li Chu smiled and poured her another glass of water. After drinking it, she felt that her throat was not so dry.

When she straightened up and tried to get up, she felt a wave of back pain again. Li Chu asked apologetically, "Ayao, are you okay? Was I too reckless yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Jingyao's face instantly flushed red. She said coquettishly, "You still know this? Fortunately, I'm a martial artist, otherwise I probably wouldn't even be able to get out of bed today!"

Li Chu hugged Dugu Jingyao and said, "I will try to be more restrained in the future."

Hearing Li Chu say this, Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Don't make yourself sick."

Li Chu looked at Dugu Jingyao in his arms and said with a wicked smile: "Since I have received the order from the princess, I will not restrain myself."

After saying this, he was about to kiss Dugu Jingyao, but Dugu Jingyao quickly covered Li Chu's mouth with her hand and scolded him, "Donkey, there's no need to rush now, right? We still have to go to the palace to pay our respects to our father and mother!"

When Li Chu heard the call of Donglang, he felt relaxed both physically and mentally, so he said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. Ask them to come in and help me wash up!" After that, he kissed Dugu Jingyao on the forehead.

Li Chu then shouted, "Come here."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian and Si Jian, who had been prepared outside, moved, pushed open the door, and entered the inner room with warm water, a handkerchief, and a set of equipment for rinsing the mouth.

Li Chu said, "Ayao, you wash up here first, I'll go outside." Dugu Jingyao nodded, and Li Chu put on his clothes and turned to leave.

After Li Chu left, Dugu Jingyao noticed that there were blood stains on the white wedding handkerchief on the bed. She knew that there shouldn't be blood on the wedding handkerchief, but now that there was this, she was afraid that Li Chu had put some blood stains on it for the sake of his own reputation. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

Then she dragged her aching back to the dressing table, washed, put on makeup, and combed her hair. Then Shi Jian brought some festive but restrained clothes for Dugu Jingyao to choose from. In the end, Dugu Jingyao chose a red flowing fairy dress.

After finishing the packing, Li Chu also returned to the inner room. However, for some reason, a trace of sadness appeared on Li Chu's face. However, Dugu Jingyao did not immediately ask him what happened. Instead, she smiled and walked forward, took Li Chu's hand and whispered, "Donglang, let's go. Don't keep father and mother waiting for too long."

Li Chu forced a smile and said, "Okay, let's go."

In this way, the two of them boarded the carriage to the palace one after the other.

In the carriage, Dugu Jingyao finally couldn't help asking, "Donglang, why are you so worried? What happened?"

Li Chu took Dugu Jingyao's hand and said, "Ayao, to be honest, something did happen."

Dugu Jingyao asked, "What's the matter? Can you tell me about it? I can see if there's anything I can do to help you?"

Li Chu also believed that husband and wife were one, and he should let Dugu Jingyao know the situation. So he tightened Dugu Jingyao's hand and said, "Ayao, do you know that my father's wife, Lady Zhang, was banished to the cold palace?"

Dugu Jingyao was puzzled when she heard this. Could it be that Zhang was not dead? So she said, "I remember, and this matter has something to do with me..."

Li Chu also recalled that it seemed to be true, so he said: "Yes, this matter is also thanks to A Yao, and through this incident, I also found out that there is someone in the mansion who is helping Mrs. Zhang. This person is one of my subordinates who I have used for many years and trust very much. His name is He Lingyi."

Dugu Jingyao also remembered that in her previous life, He Lingyi also liked Li Chu, even to the point of madness. The phrase "If you can't have it, destroy it" has always been impressed on her. However, she has not seen He Lingyi in this life. So what has happened?

Li Chu saw Dugu Jingyao's puzzled expression and explained, "Because I had previously captured evidence of her helping Lady Zhang, I softened my heart and imprisoned her in the dungeon. But yesterday, when we got married, she killed the guards and escaped in the chaos."

Dugu Jingyao was shocked. However, Zhang had been dead for a long time, so who was she going out to? Could it be that Zhang was not dead, or that the person she was originally loyal to was not Zhang?

Dugu Jingyao then said, "But, Zhang has been dead for a long time. Who will she go to now that she has fled?"

Li Chu also shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I just feel a little regretful. If I had known this would happen, I should have been ruthless and executed her to prevent any further trouble."

Dugu Jingyao comforted Li Chu, saying, "Donglang, this is not your fault. People are treacherous, and you are just too kind. However, it is better to find her as soon as possible to prevent her from doing anything harmful to the Guangping Palace, you and me."

Li Chu nodded and said, "Ayao is right. I have asked Feng Shengyi to send someone to investigate. I hope to find her soon."

As the two were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the palace.
