Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 160 Commoner Wang

Soon, the group arrived at the palace, got off the carriage and headed towards the East Palace as usual...

Who would have thought that as soon as they entered the East Palace, they encountered something unusual. A woman appeared out of nowhere, looking like a madwoman, with her hair covering her face and her clothes tattered. She seemed to have wandered from the streets and inexplicably appeared in the East Palace. She rushed towards the group without warning, catching everyone off guard. By the time they reacted, the woman had already grabbed Li Chu's arm and shouted, "Your Highness, you can't do this to me!"

Li Chu frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of him, his heart filled with doubt and confusion. He tried to break free from the woman's hand, but she held on tightly, muttering, "Your Highness, you can't do this to me!"

Feng Shengyi, who was behind him, reacted immediately and rushed forward to pull the woman away. His eyes widened in anger, and his voice was low and stern: "How dare you! Who are you? How dare you so rudely offend my prince?"

After being pulled away by Feng Shengyi, the woman looked somewhat bewildered. Her gaze fell on Li Chu, as if trying to confirm something. Then, her eyes became even more frantic, and she muttered, "No, you are not His Highness. Your Highness would not do this to me! Your Highness must know who I am. You are not His Highness, not His Highness..."

Then she tried to struggle to leave, but it was obvious that she was too weak to break free. She just squatted down, hugged her knees, buried her head in her arms, and kept muttering, "You are not His Highness. His Highness would not treat me like this..."

Just as everyone was bewildered, a palace maid and a eunuch suddenly ran over in a hurry. Before they even stopped, they knelt on the ground and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Guangping!"

Li Chu's brows hadn't relaxed since he entered the Eastern Palace. He was perplexed. How could such a person be here? And who was this crazy woman? Hearing her call him "Your Highness," could it be his father? He couldn't help but take a closer look at the crazy woman in front of him.

Seeing that Li Chu didn't say anything for a long time but kept frowning, Feng Shengyi said, "Where are you from? How can you be so rude!"

Hearing Feng Shengyi's scolding voice, the two men kneeling on the ground trembled like sieves, beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads. They looked at each other, and saw the fear in each other's eyes. After a long while, the young eunuch finally spoke tremblingly: "Your Highness, we are palace servants from the Ye Ting."

Li Chu asked, "Ye Ting? Then who is she?"

The eunuch spoke again: "Your Highness, this is the commoner Wang..."

Li Chu pondered for a moment: Commoner Wang? Was she my father's concubine? I don't think I've heard of her...

Noticing that Li Chu didn't respond, the maid raised her head and glanced at him, then said, "Your Highness, the commoner Wang is the biological mother of Princess Suguo."

Li Chu said he knew, and then said: "I know, you should take her away quickly, don't alarm the guests."

The two of them took orders and dragged the commoner Wang back to the palace...

Li Chu turned around and looked at them and said, "Uncle, Uncle Dugu, Xinghan, Xingchen, were you not hit?"

Dugu Xin and the others all shook their heads. Dugu Xin said, "We weren't hit, but are you okay?"

Li Chu straightened his clothes and said, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. I'm fine."

Seeing that everyone was fine, Chu Xiaoyi said, "Since everyone is fine, why don't we go in first!"

Everyone also felt that it was not good to block the door, so they agreed and went to Zhaoyang Palace together...

On the other side, in the Crown Princess's Aoxue Palace, a maid on duty saw Wang, a commoner from the Yunting, colliding with His Royal Highness Prince Guangping, and immediately came to report the news.

The maid whispered a few words to Aunt Xu, and Aunt Xu's face suddenly became ugly. After that, Aunt Xu asked the maid to leave first...

The Crown Princess was originally watching Liu Jingyue's teaching with great interest, but when she looked up, she saw that Aunt Xu looked unwell, so she asked with concern, "Aunt Xu, are you okay? Why do you look so bad?"

Nanny Xu finally came to her senses and said, "I'm fine. It's just that a maid just came to report that the commoner Wang ran away from the palace..."

The Crown Princess frowned upon hearing this. "What's going on? How are the people in the palace guarding the palace guarding? Go, send someone to tell them that the servant guarding the commoner Wang is negligent in his duty and will receive twenty slaps on the wrist."

Nanny Xu agreed, but then she remembered what she hadn't finished saying. It was neither right to say it nor not to say it. The Crown Princess looked at Nanny Xu's hesitant look and asked impatiently, "Is there anything else?"

Since the Crown Princess asked, Nanny Xu answered truthfully: "Commoner Wang also offended His Royal Highness Prince Guangping..."

After saying this, the Crown Princess immediately slammed the table and stood up: "What? How is Chu'er?"

Aunt Xu quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, Your Majesty."

Only then did the Crown Princess realize she had lost her composure. She coughed awkwardly twice and then said, "Ahem, I'm fine." She then looked at Liu Jingyue, who was still a little girl after all, so she asked, "Yuer, did I scare you?"

To be honest, the Crown Princess has always been gentle, and I didn't expect that she would stand up and slam the table. It would have been okay if she was just scared, but she was really stunned and almost threw the eyeshadow box on the ground.

Liu Jingyue secretly congratulated herself: "I'm so lucky I have a steady hand! Otherwise, I would have had to make this eyeshadow palette all over again if it broke. How tiring!"

Liu Jingyue came back to her senses and waved her hands, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. I just didn't expect Your Majesty to get so angry... I was completely shocked!"

Nanny Xu explained on behalf of the Crown Princess, "It's really because this commoner Wang is so abominable. You can't blame the Queen for being angry."

Then the Crown Princess seemed to realize something and asked, "Madam Xu, did you just say Chu'er is here?"

Seeing that the Crown Princess had moved on, Aunt Xu said cheerfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, the King of Yunnan and his men are here too!"

Upon hearing her son was here, the Crown Princess felt much better. She said to Liu Jingyue, "Yue'er, the King of Yunnan is here too. Let's stop here for today. Pack up and accompany me to Zhaoyang Palace!"

Liu Jingyue was naturally happy to do so. She asked Zhishu to collect the things and take them back to Mingxiang Pavilion, and took Shili to accompany the Crown Princess to Zhaoyang Palace.

On the way, the Crown Princess instructed Aunt Xu: "Aunt Xu, go and ask someone to call Jiayan, Ruo'er and the others to come to Zhaoyang Palace."

Nanny Xu took the order and told the maid to do it, while she quickly followed the Crown Princess to Zhaoyang Palace...

Arriving at Zhaoyang Palace, the group from Prince Guangping's residence had already been sitting and drinking tea for a while. Seeing the Crown Princess coming, they stood up and saluted: "Greetings to Mother (Crown Princess)!"

After Li Ruo helped the Crown Princess to her seat, she returned to her own. The Crown Princess called out, and the others sat back down...

But Dugu Xin was a little curious: Why was Yue'er following the Crown Princess? Shouldn't it be Yao'er?

But soon his thoughts were brought back.

The Crown Princess looked at Li Chu and asked, "Chu'er, were you frightened just now?"

Li Chu shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

But Li Chu was even more curious about the story of the commoner Wang. It seemed as if he had never heard of such a person in the Eastern Palace.
