Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 505 Li Wanqing cheated

After the two of them were intimate for a while, they went to have lunch together and then took a short rest. When they woke up, Si Jian hurried in and reported to Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao, "Your Majesty, Princess, I have news to tell you. Gu Shiyi gave birth to a boy!"

Upon hearing this news, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao exchanged a glance, each a little surprised. They'd long suspected Gu Shiyi would tamper with the baby's gender, but calculating the date, she shouldn't have given birth yet. How could she have suddenly gone into labor prematurely? Could she have such foresight that she'd even found a woman who was due to give birth at a different time? Or was she truly pregnant with a boy?

However, according to common sense, Dr. Gongsun's medical skills were very advanced, and he shouldn't have misdiagnosed the pulse. Therefore, there must be something wrong with the child. However, they couldn't guess the reason at the moment, so they simply stopped speculating. Li Chu made a quick decision and asked Feng Shengyi to secretly investigate what had happened and why Gu Shiyi had given birth prematurely.

A few days later, Feng Shengyi finally returned with some news. He respectfully reported to Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao, "Your Highness, Princess, after my investigation, I've finally uncovered some clues. It turns out the Nanyang County Princess went into premature labor because the Nanyang County Prince stayed out drunk and brought a woman home as a concubine. This infuriated the Nanyang County Princess, causing her miscarriage."

Li Chu was a little curious when he heard this: "Although my brother's strategy is a little lacking, he is not such a lustful person, otherwise he would have had three wives and four concubines in his house. How could Gu Shiyi have lived a good life?"

Dugu Jingyao also thought about it: Yes, whether in the previous life or this life, Li Xi was not a lustful person, he just wanted to sit in that position. No, there must be something fishy here.

Dugu Jingyao asked, "Have you found out who this woman is?"

Feng Shengyi said, "Princess, as far as I know, that woman seems to be a maid given to the Prince of Nanyang by the Minister of Works, Lord Xing."

Li Chu frowned slightly and said, "She was just a maid, but she became a concubine overnight. Lord Xing is really good at choosing people!"

Dugu Jingyao continued, "No, there must be something wrong. Does this woman have any special features or advantages?"

Feng Shengyi nodded and said, "Princess, your foresight is indeed a little different..."

Feng Shengyi paused and said, "I heard that this woman looks very similar to... Miss Guo, the legitimate daughter of Lord Guo Ziyi, Guo Fengmin."

Li Chu suddenly understood. He snorted coldly, "Oh, no wonder. It seems that my second brother has indeed fallen in love with Miss Guo."

Dugu Jingyao said with a disgusted expression: "Humph, so what if he likes me? He married someone else just for profit, and even found a replacement for Feng Min as a concubine. Isn't that disgusting? No, I have to remind Feng Min again later to stay away from Li Xi to avoid being entangled by him."

Li Chu said again: "Well, you are right, so as to avoid causing any trouble." After that, he let Feng Shengyi go down first.

Then Dugu Jingyao said, "You said that my sister-in-law gave birth to a child. As the eldest sister-in-law, shouldn't I go and visit her?"

Li Chu originally wanted to wait until her full moon banquet, but after thinking for a while, he understood Dugu Jingyao's intention. He said, "In that case, let's wait two days until my nephew's third birthday."

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Well, Donglang is still the most thoughtful one."

Then, in the afternoon, one of them read while the other handled official business. After Li Chu finished his official business, the two of them went to the side hall to play with Li Shi and Li Ying for a while, and then it gradually became evening.

Li Chu didn't want to take another concubine, nor did he want to have children with another woman. For this goal, and now that Dugu Jingyao's health has almost recovered, Li Chu will work very hard whenever he has the chance.

Of course, while the two were working hard, an uninvited guest arrived at Biluoyuan. He waited until Li Wanqing turned off the lights and quietly climbed through the window into the inner room.

Li Wanqing heard a voice and subconsciously asked, "Who?"

Then a black shadow blocked her mouth and said, "Shh, it's me."

Of course, Cuizhu, who was guarding the warm room, heard the sound and knocked on the door and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Li Wanqing knocked the man's hand away and rushed outside, "I'm fine. Maybe I heard it wrong."

Cuizhu then said, "Madam, if you have anything to say, please call me."

Li Wanqing replied: "Well, you go back first, I'm going to sleep too." After saying that, she pretended to yawn, and sure enough, not long after, she heard Cuizhu's footsteps fading away.

Li Wanqing sat on the couch, looked at the person in front of her, and asked, "Why are you here? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

The man looked at Li Wanqing affectionately and said, "I just have something I want to ask you."

Li Wanqing asked impatiently, "What's the matter? You're in my inner chamber. If anyone finds out, we'll both be in big trouble!"

The man didn't beat around the bush and asked, "I heard you're pregnant."

Li Wanqing glanced at him and said, "Yes, what? Do you want to ask if this child is yours?"

The man had clearly come to ask because he had some suspicions, but Li Wanqing's words were very blunt: "So what if it's yours? Even if it's really related to you, this child can only be the prince's now! Otherwise, if the prince finds out, not only us two, but the child won't survive either. So I advise you to hold back whatever you want to say!"

Only then did the man realize, "Li Liang Di is truly heartless. Now that she's pregnant, she's completely forgotten about me? You know, truth will come to light sooner or later. Be careful not to get burned to ashes!"

Li Wanqing snorted again and said, "Don't forget, I didn't force you back then. You're a man, if you wanted to push me away, you could have done it naturally. Can you blame me for not being able to resist the temptation? Besides, how can you be so sure that this child is related to you? I've taken precautions every time. This child belongs to His Highness!"

The man thought what he said made some sense, but there was still a 50% chance that the child was his. He would find a way to verify it after the child was born.

The man could only say: "Since Li Liangdi is so sure, I won't say anything more. You should have a good rest!" After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

Li Wanqing confirmed that the man had really left, and the energy in her body finally subsided. However, what she said was indeed true. After she was injured, Li Chu never came again.

It was that day when she had a few drinks in the mansion and met that man while walking in the yard. Originally, the man wanted to send her back to Biluo Courtyard, but at that time she knew that she would never be loved by Li Chu again, and she was also injured, so she didn't want to go back, and went with that man to an empty bedroom.

I still remember that because no one had lived there for a long time, although it was cleaned, they did not use candles when they went in. In such a dim environment, a man and a woman were alone in the same room. She mistook the man in front of her for Li Chu. Originally, the man pushed her away, but he could not resist the temptation, and the two of them were together.

However, in Li Wanqing's impression, that night seemed to be very enjoyable, so that scene would occasionally appear in her mind.

For example, now she recalled the scene of that night, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Perhaps it was because of the drowsiness during pregnancy, but later she gradually fell asleep.
