Chapter 482: If you don't make a sound, you'll be a big hit

At the Yunnan Prince's Palace in Chang'an, a bustling and festive atmosphere engulfed the palace ever since Dugu Moyan and Liu Jingyue paid their respects to Emperor Suzong and returned the next day. Everyone threw themselves into the preparations for the wedding, and all matters proceeded smoothly.

Originally, Dugu Jingyao had been thinking about contributing her own efforts and helping with Dugu Moyan's wedding preparations. After all, she had already been through two marriages, including in her previous life, and was familiar with many of the details. However, she hadn't anticipated that this idea would be unanimously opposed by all three parties.

First, Li Chu persuaded her earnestly, "Ayao, you are six months pregnant and about to give birth. It will be inconvenient for you to move around. It is best to rest well. Besides, Mo Yan and Jing Yue have already returned and will take care of the wedding properly. You don't need to worry too much. What if you exhaust yourself?"

Dugu Moyan then echoed, "Yao'er, don't worry! Yue'er and I will definitely arrange everything for the wedding properly, so you don't have to worry about it. Your most important task right now is to take care of yourself and the baby in your womb. Leave everything else to us."

Even Liu Jingyue gently consoled her, "Yes, sister, just rest assured and wait for the birth. Once your nephew or niece is born safely, there will be much more for you to take care of. During this time, let us take care of the trivial matters of the wedding."

Faced with the three people's resolute attitude, Dugu Jingyao still felt a little unwilling, but she could not resist their kindness. In desperation, she had to temporarily put aside the idea of helping and focus on recuperating her body and waiting for the arrival of her baby.

Meanwhile, Dugu Jingyao was also busy. She often invited her good friend Murong Linzhi to her house to discuss various precautions and strategies for childbirth. The two of them would often chat for most of the day, carefully considering everything from diet and daily life to emotional regulation.

In addition, Dugu Jingyao would often invite Mrs. Guo to come over and humbly ask for her experience in raising children. As a person with experience, Mrs. Guo would share everything she knew and share her valuable experience accumulated over the years.

About ten days later, Li Chu brought back a shocking piece of news. The candidate for the Nanyang County Princess had been changed. Gu Shiyi had successfully become the Nanyang County Princess, and Li Yuru had successfully obtained the decree of Emperor Suzong to cancel the marriage.

Dugu Jingyao was really stunned, but she had expected that they would definitely make a big splash if they didn't make a name for themselves, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

She stretched her head out of curiosity and asked Li Chu: "Donglang, can you tell me what's going on?"

Li Chu looked at her gossipy expression and couldn't help but smile. "Do you remember when our father took us hunting some time ago?"

Dugu Jingyao nodded and asked, "Really? Did anything else happen that day? I don't remember you mentioning it!"

Li Chu said awkwardly, "Well, something did happen, but that was a plot by Li Guangbi and his men. I knew it was nothing serious, so I didn't tell you. But I didn't expect them to pull it off so quickly."

Dugu Jingyao didn't bother to understand why he kept it from her, because she was more curious about what happened.

Li Chu had no choice but to speak quickly. He said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you. I say it's not a big deal, but if someone doesn't know about it, they'll think it's a big deal."

Dugu Jingyao was a little confused, but she seemed to suddenly understand something. She said, "Let me guess, maybe my father was assassinated, but someone saved him!"

Li Chu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked, "Ayao is really smart, how did you guess it?"

Dugu Jingyao raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Think about it, you've already said it. People who know it don't think it's a big deal, but people who don't know it think it is. Plus, you were out hunting, not because your father was assassinated, but because you were in danger. Otherwise, what big deal could your hunting be?"

Li Chu nodded, thinking that what Dugu Jingyao said made sense, so he said, "Ayao, what you said makes sense. How about Ayao guess what exactly is going on?"

Dugu Jingyao glanced at Li Chu and asked, "Will you tell me or not?"

Li Chu said, "Okay, okay, don't I think you're incredibly intelligent, Ayao? So, let me explain. Two days before the hunt, Li Guangbi sent me a message, saying that if anything urgent happened, I shouldn't be the first to rush forward."

Dugu Jingyao asked: "Did you agree?"

Li Chu nodded. "Yes, they had someone tamper with Father's horse, so it got frightened while hunting. But I promised not to rush up, so I didn't go too close to Father when hunting. I also took Li Xi with me."

Dugu Jingyao was puzzled: "So who saved my father?"

Li Chu said: "He is Gu Shiyi's biological brother, Gu Yujun."

Dugu Jingyao pondered for a long time, but she didn't remember such a person in her previous life. She asked again, "So, he made a request to the emperor? To make Gu Shiyi the princess of the Li family?"

Li Chu shook his head. "He didn't say anything at the time. Father only gave him a position, the Five Cities Military Commander. I only know what happened at the hunting grounds. I don't know how they did it later. It was just that this order was suddenly issued today. It was very sudden."

Dugu Jingyao's curiosity got the better of her, so she asked Li Chu to find Li Guangbi to find out what was going on.

Li Chu didn't want to go. He said, "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate. Guo Ziyi has a good relationship with our family. If the emperor knew that I also had a relationship with Li Guangbi, would he suspect me of forming a clique for personal gain?"

Dugu Jingyao thought for a moment and could only ask him not to go looking for Li Guangbi, but she didn't intend to give up. It was just that it was inconvenient for her to go out, so she moved closer to Li Chu and said, "Think of another way~" As she said that, she rubbed her belly.

Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Well, well, I'll go find out."
