Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

The battle lasted from around Youshi to just after Haishi. Since the situation was temporarily settled, Dugu Xin and Chu Xiaoyi went ahead to meet up with Li Chu, Dugu Jingyao and Guo Ziyi.

Dugu Jingyao saw Dugu Xin covered in blood. Although she knew that the blood was most likely from the enemy, she was still worried. With tears in her eyes, she went forward to check. However, for some reason, Dugu Jingyao felt a churning sensation in her stomach, which she finally managed to suppress.

A warm feeling surged in Dugu Xin's heart. He even stretched out his hands and legs to let Dugu Jingyao check. Dugu Jingyao took a look and found that he was indeed not injured, so he felt relieved.

Dugu Xin said proudly, "Don't you believe in your father's strength? How can these little minions easily hurt him?"

Dugu Jingyao then took a deep breath, holding back her tears and said, "Dad, stop showing off. It's getting late. The battlefield has already been cleaned up. Everyone should go back and take a shower and rest for a while. We have to go to the court to report this matter later..."

What Dugu Jingyao said made sense. In two hours it would be time to go to court, so he could take this opportunity to take a break.

So Chu Xiaoyi followed Dugu Xin back to the Palace of Prince of Yunnan, while Dugu Jingyao and Li Chu returned to the Palace of Prince of Guangping.

After returning to Prince Guangping's Mansion, Dugu Jingyao arranged for Li Chu to take a bath, and she went back to the bedroom first. Unexpectedly, before she reached the bedroom, Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but vomited.

This startled Shi Jian, who was standing by. While rubbing Dugu Jingyao's back, Shi Jian asked worriedly, "Princess, are you okay?"

Dugu Jingyao said slowly, "It's okay. Maybe it's because the smell of blood is too strong and I'm not used to it."

Although Shi Jian understood, he still murmured softly, "But the princess has followed the prince to the battlefield before, and it's never been like this..."

After all, the two were close to each other, and even though they were whispering quietly, Dugu Jingyao could still hear it. However, this reminded her. She thought to herself, "Yeah, it's not like I haven't been on the battlefield before. I didn't have such a big reaction when I smelled blood. Why this time..."

Thinking of this, a possibility emerged in her mind: "Could it be..."

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Okay, I'm fine, let's go back to the house first."

Shi Jian had no choice but to help Dugu Jingyao back to her room. After Dugu Jingyao changed into her pajamas, she said to Shi Jian, "Don't mention what happened just now to anyone else. We'll go out of the house tomorrow. Then you go tell Lin Zhi to go to the Yunnan Palace and meet there tomorrow."

Although Shi Jian didn't understand why, he agreed and planned to make arrangements after daybreak. Dugu Jingyao was already sleepy, and after running around outside, she was truly sleepy. Her eyelids were drooping, so she decided to lie down for a while, but she fell asleep without realizing it.

Shi Jian watched Dugu Jingyao fall asleep and waited outside. As he waited, he wondered, "Why does the princess suddenly want to see Miss Murong? Is she sick? She seems to love sleeping so much lately, and she was nauseous just now... Why do these symptoms sound so familiar?"

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head: "Could she be pregnant?" She carefully calculated the time when Dugu Jingyao had her period, but it was not right. It was less than a month since the princess last had her period. Could she be wrong?

Just as Shi Jian was pondering, Li Chu, who had gone to bathe, changed into new clothes and returned to Dugu Jingyao's bedroom. Looking at Shi Jian who seemed lost in thought at the door, he asked, "Shi Jian, where is your princess?"

Shi Jian was finally brought back to reality and said, "Ah? Oh, Your Highness, the princess has already gone to bed."

Li Chu thought that perhaps Dugu Jingyao had gone out looking for them while still asleep, so she must be tired now. However, he was also a little tired now, so he nodded slightly and said, "Well, I understand. You should also go to the warm room next door to rest for a while!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian and Feng Shengyi thanked him together. After seeing Li Chu enter the bedroom, they went to the warm room nearby.

Li Chu quietly entered the bedroom and carefully came to the bedside. Seeing Dugu Jingyao's sleeping face, he wanted to stroke Dugu Jingyao's cheek with his hand, but was afraid of waking her up, so he traced her outline in the air, smiled knowingly, and then lay down beside Dugu Jingyao.

Dugu Jingyao seemed to feel Li Chu's warmth. Although she was still asleep, she still moved to Li Chu's side. Li Chu also smiled and hugged Dugu Jingyao. Only then did Dugu Jingyao continue to sleep. With the warm and soft jade beside him, and after another night of running around, Li Chu quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Li Chu was the first to wake up at daybreak. He looked at Dugu Jingyao beside him, still sleeping soundly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Although he was reluctant to get up, he had no choice as he had to attend the morning court. He got up quietly, afraid of waking up Dugu Jingyao. He left a kiss on Dugu Jingyao's forehead and went to the side hall to wash up and have his meal.

By the time Dugu Jingyao woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She felt around and found the room was already cold. She stood up and stretched, and the sound startled Shi Jian.

Shi Jian heard the sound and came in, then said, "Princess, are you awake?"

Dugu Jingyao hummed softly and asked, "Well, what time is it now?"

Shi Jian prepared the toiletries while saying, "Princess, it's already the morning hour."

Dugu Jingyao was stunned after hearing this and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Shi Jian smiled and said, "His Highness ordered us not to disturb you and let you sleep until you wake up naturally."

When Dugu Jingyao heard this, a happy smile appeared on her face and she said, "Okay, help me wash up."

Shi Jian agreed and brought over a handkerchief, a basin of water, and some food for rinsing the mouth.

After washing up, Dugu Jingyao went to the dressing table and Shijian put on her makeup. Dugu Jingyao asked, "By the way, Shijian, have you taken care of what I asked you to do yesterday?"

Shi Jian was busy with her hands as she replied, "Don't worry, Princess. I have already informed Miss Murong and arranged for someone to take her to the Yunnan Palace."

Dugu Jingyao nodded, closed her eyes, and let Shi Jian put on her makeup. After the makeup was completed, she had breakfast in the flower hall and then prepared to go back to the Yunnan Palace.

Last night, because they heard the noise outside, Cui Caiping, Li Wanqing and Zheng Wan sent people out to get information. When they heard that there was a war, they were all in a panic, especially when they heard that Li Chu had also gone to the battlefield. They became even more worried and did not sleep well the whole night.

Later, she heard that Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao had returned together and had won a victory. Zheng Wan finally slept peacefully.

Cui Caiping was so angry that her teeth itched. How she wished she could stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Chu! She didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Li Wanqing, on the other hand, was more or less influenced by Cui Caiping. She felt a twinge of jealousy towards Dugu Jingyao, yet at the same time she hoped Li Chu would return safely, and ideally, Dugu Jingyao would die on the battlefield… With this last thought, even she felt like she didn't recognize herself anymore. With these two figures constantly pulling at her, she gradually fell asleep.

Isn't that right? Zheng Wan was fine, having gotten up early, while Cui Caiping and Li Wanqing slept until noon. Fortunately, today wasn't the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, so they didn't have to pay their respects, so it wouldn't hurt to sleep in a little longer.

Dugu Jingyao returned to the Prince of Yunnan's Palace. Because of yesterday's battle, Dugu Xin and Chu Xiaoyi had also gone to the palace and had not yet returned. Therefore, when Dugu Jingyao arrived, only Murong Linzhi was sitting in the main hall.

When Murong Linzhi saw Dugu Jingyao coming back, he went to greet her: "Jingyao, you are finally here. You are not here at home. I am getting bored waiting here."

Dugu Jingyao looked at Murong Linzhi apologetically, took her hand and walked to her seat, saying as she walked: "Linzhi, I'm really sorry, I slept a little late last night, so I got up late today."

After the two of them sat down, Murong Linzhi said, "I heard people say as soon as Baicaotang opened today that there was a battle outside the city gate last night?"

Dugu Jingyao nodded and said, "It was An Lushan who led his men to attack, but don't worry, they have been driven away."

Murong Linzhi asked worriedly, "Jingyao, you asked me to come here, but you were injured?"

Dugu Jingyao shook her head and said with regret: "I wasn't injured. I just went to the battlefield, but when I got there, An Lushan had already been driven away..."

Murong Linzhi finally felt relieved: "I'm glad you're alright. Then why did you come to me?"

Dugu Jingyao said, "Thank you, Lin Zhi, for checking my pulse. I've been feeling sleepy lately. I don't know if it's because of the season or if there's something wrong with my body."

Hearing this, Murong Linzhi nodded and said, "Okay. Stretch out your hands and I'll help you take a look." After that, Murong Linzhi took out the pulse pillow. Dugu Jingyao naturally placed her hands on the pulse pillow, and Murong Linzhi carefully felt Dugu Jingyao's pulse.

Dugu Jingyao didn't know if it was what she thought, so she was very anxious. After a while, Murong Linzhi took his hand away, smiled and whispered: "Congratulations, Jingyao, your pulse shows that you are pregnant!"

Dugu Jingyao still didn't quite believe it. She asked, "Really?"

Murong Linzhi's expression was as if to say, "Don't you trust my medical skills?" Dugu Jingyao finally realized that this was probably true. She couldn't believe that in her previous life, she had lost her fertility in order to save Li Chu. In this life, she had a child with Li Chu so quickly. She secretly made up her mind to protect this child.

Dugu Jingyao showed a gentle smile on her face. Murong Linzhi also gave her sincere blessings, but she still reminded her: "But now it's still early, so you still have to be more careful, don't overwork yourself, and don't do that thing..."

Dugu Jingyao guessed what she was talking about, and a blush appeared on her face. She said, "I see. Thank you, Lin Zhi. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

Murong Linzhi thought for a moment and said, "Don't eat cold food. Check your food and utensils carefully. It's best not to use food sent by others. If you have morning sickness, eat something like sour apricots to relieve it."

Shi Jian wrote them down one by one, and then the two of them started talking about other things. After about half an hour, they both left the Yunnan Palace.
