Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 492 Cui Caiping's Production

Chapter 492 Cui Caiping Gives Birth

Because Dugu Jingyao had personally experienced the pain of childbirth, she was well aware of the lengthy labor required. So, they walked slowly towards Linglong Pavilion, just as they would on any other day, at a leisurely pace.

However, unlike Dugu Jingyao's delivery, before even entering Linglong Pavilion, everyone could already hear bursts of screaming coming from within. It was Cui Caiping's, a heart-wrenching, deafening cry that seemed to pierce the entire palace, relentless and unending.

It wasn't surprising that Cui Caiping lost her composure. She had been pampered and spoiled since childhood. Even after marrying into the Guangping Prince's Mansion (now known as the Chu Prince's Mansion), she was occasionally punished with salary deductions and confinement, but these were minor disciplinary actions, never even causing a scratch on her skin. How could such a precious person easily endure the excruciating pain of childbirth?

Cui Caiping's miserable screams didn't last long, quickly attracting Zheng Wan and Li Wanqing. At that moment, Dugu Jingyao and Murong Linzhi sat in a side hall of Linglong Pavilion, quietly awaiting the birth of Cui Caiping's unborn child. Not long after, Li Wanqing arrived first, followed shortly by Zheng Wan.

Even Zheng Wan, who usually loved to bicker with Cui Caiping, couldn't help but feel a bit of pity after hearing Cui Caiping's heartbreaking roar. She sighed inwardly, "Alas, Cui Caiping is really miserable!"

He couldn't help but think that now that Dugu Jingyao had given birth to a legitimate son, if he continued to serve her in the emperor's bed, she wouldn't be taking contraceptive soup. And if he did have a child, would he end up like Cui Caiping today? He shuddered at the thought.

In this way, Cui Caiping howled for about half an hour before she stopped, but there was no sound of a child crying.

Dugu Jingyao, as a person who had experienced this, and Murong Linzhi, as a doctor, could guess that it was simply because she had exerted too much effort and now had no strength left. Or perhaps it was a difficult birth, which was why there was no movement. However, if there was something wrong, the midwife would surely come to report it.

Dugu Jingyao was just thinking about it when a midwife came to report: "My princess, Cui Liangdi fainted from exhaustion because she exerted too much force earlier. The baby's head is already visible, but because Cui Liangdi fainted, she can't push, and now it's stuck in the middle. If it can't be delivered for a long time, I'm afraid the baby will suffocate to death..."

Dugu Jingyao frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Is there any way to wake her up?"

The midwife nodded quickly and said, "Princess, yes, there are some good doctors who can wake a person up with just one injection. Ginseng slices can also give the baby the strength to continue the birth."

In fact, Dugu Jingyao didn't say she particularly wanted to save her, but now that she was here, and Murong Linzhi happened to be there too, if they didn't help and it got out, the two of them would probably not have to go out, and would be drowned in the spit of the people...

Unable to do anything, Dugu Jingyao looked at Murong Linzhi and said, "Linzhi, please go there."

Murong Linzhi smiled slightly and said, "Well, I'll go and take a look. I will try my best to help Cui Caiping give birth to the baby smoothly." Fortunately, Murong Linzhi always came under the pretext of taking Dugu Jingyao's pulse, so she always brought a medicine box.

Dugu Jingyao was naturally relieved that Murong Linzhi was going there in person. She nodded, and Murong Linzhi went to the inner room with the midwife.

The last time Dugu Jingyao gave birth, Murong Linzhi was in the room from the beginning, so he didn't notice the bloody smell particularly clearly. But this time, she came halfway through, so the smell of blood hit him as soon as he entered the room. Fortunately, Murong Linzhi had many patients, so he could tolerate it.

When she saw Cui Caiping lying on the couch, her face covered in sweat and her face and lips pale, she actually felt a little sorry for her.

But now was not the time for her to feel sorry for Cui Caiping; saving her life was more important. She quickly stepped forward, took out a silver needle from the medicine box, disinfected it with candlelight, and then inserted the needle.

After two injections, Cui Caiping suddenly took a breath and woke up.

Seeing that she had woken up, Murong Linzhi put away the needle. The midwife also smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, doctor."

Murong Linzhi simply waved her hand without saying anything. The midwife then had Mo Xin put a piece of ginseng in Cui Caiping's mouth and said, "Madam, I can already see the baby's head. Listen to my instructions and push harder."

As soon as Cui Caiping woke up, she felt unbearable pain. She endured the pain and nodded randomly.

Seeing that she had nothing to do, Murong Linzhi withdrew, and the midwife continued to help Cui Caiping give birth. Following the midwife's instructions, Cui Caiping did not scream non-stop like before, but only spoke when she needed to.

About half an hour later, they heard a "wa wa" sound. Mo Xin, Lian Xin and others helped Cui Caiping change clothes and other things, while the midwife carried the child to the side hall.

With a smile on his face, he bowed and said, "My princess, Concubine Cui Liangdi has given birth to a girl."

Dugu Jingyao asked the midwife to bring the child to her for a look. The midwife handed the child to Shi Jian, who brought the child to Dugu Jingyao. Dugu Jingyao lifted a corner of the blanket to take a look. The child seemed to be prettier than Li Shi and Li Ying when they were just born, at least it was not wrinkled.

Dugu Jingyao suddenly felt a little outshone by her own child. However, she kept it to herself and said, "Well, good, she's a beauty. Linglong Pavilion will award her a month's salary to take good care of Concubine Cui and the young princess."

The maids and servants all smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

Dugu Jingyao said, "Everyone, get up. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first."

Li Wanqing and Zheng Wan had no expectations of anything good from Cui Caiping, so when Dugu Jingyao asked them to go back and wait, they did not refuse and went back to their respective courtyards.

Dugu Jingyao first sent Murong Linzhi out of the house, and then on the way back to Wangyuexuan, she instructed Si Jian to tell Li Wanqing and Zheng Wan: "Just say that Cui Caiping gave birth to a daughter." Si Jian took the order and went.

As I was walking back, I heard a familiar voice behind me: "Ayao, why are you here?"

Dugu Jingyao turned around and saw Li Chu walking towards him. She smiled and said, "I just sent Lin Zhi away and was about to go back to Wangyuexuan."

Li Chu walked over to Dugu Jingyao, took her hand and said, "Let's go. I'll go back and see our Shi'er and Ying'er."

Dugu Jingyao nodded and said, "Well, okay." The two of them walked hand in hand back to Wangyuexuan.

Li Chu changed his clothes first, and then the two of them went to the side hall. It was just an unfortunate coincidence that the two little guys were sleeping soundly. But even though they couldn't interact, they were happy just watching the two little guys quietly.

After watching for a while, Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao returned to the inner room for fear of disturbing the two children's sleep.

After sitting down, Li Chu noticed that Dugu Jingyao seemed a little tired, so he asked, "What's wrong, Yao? I see why you look tired. Are these two children exhausting you?"

Dugu Jingyao shook her head and said, "How old are they? How could they possibly tire me out? It's Cui Caiping."

Li Chu almost forgot about Cui Caiping after hearing this. He frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Dugu Jingyao was speechless. She suddenly felt that Cui Caiping looked a bit like herself in her previous life when she first married into the Guangping Prince's Mansion. She said, "You forgot, Cui Caiping is already ten months pregnant and it's time for her to give birth..."

Li Chu finally realized: "Cui Caiping gave birth?"

Dugu Jingyao nodded and said, "Yes, she gave birth to a daughter. Don't you want to go and see her?"

Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. Cui Caiping probably hasn't woken up yet. Kid, let's go see her together later when we go see her."

Dugu Jingyao naturally didn't want Li Chu to see Cui Caiping. In this life, she was also entitled to be jealous. Besides, if Li Chu was attracted to Cui Caiping's daughter, wouldn't the mother be honored by the child... This was not acceptable. Although she knew that Li Chu would not have any other feelings for Cui Caiping, it was just a child... they were connected by blood, so it was hard to say.

So she smiled and said, "Okay, then Donglang, play a game of chess with me. We haven't played chess for a long time."

Li Chu also smiled softly and said, "Okay~, then I will respectfully obey your command."

After saying that, Dugu Jingyao asked Shi Jian to bring out the chessboard and chess pieces, and the two began their game that lasted nearly half an hour...
