Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 459 Emergency Situation

Not long after, Li Wanqing felt some abdominal pain. At first, she thought she had eaten something bad, so she didn't ask anyone to call the doctor.

But as time passed, she felt more and more painful, and even beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Wutong also noticed something was wrong, so he advised: "Madam, you should ask the court doctor to come and take a look. Don't let it get you sick again. It will be bad for your health if you delay it for too long."

Li Wanqing became a little worried when she heard this. In the past, she would have abdominal pain during her menstruation, but it was never to this extent. So she said, "Well, Cuizhu, go and get the court physician. Wutong, go and get His Highness." Cuizhu agreed and went out to get the court physician first.

But Wutong didn't move. Although she understood Li Wanqing's meaning, she still hesitated and said, "But...but I'm not sure that His Highness will come."

Li Wanqing endured the pain and said impatiently, "Don't worry, just go and invite him. Even if His Highness doesn't want to come, I'm sure the princess will persuade him to come and see."

Wutong then took the order and left, leaving Li Wanqing alone lying on the couch, holding her stomach and groaning in pain.

Cuizhu was quick. Doctor He went home to celebrate the New Year last night and came back to be on duty today. Cuizhu pulled him to the Biluo Courtyard in a hurry.

At first, Doctor He didn't take it seriously. But after arriving at Biluo Courtyard, he saw Li Wanqing curled up on the couch with a frown and sweat on her forehead. Only then did he realize that the situation seemed more serious than he had imagined.

So he casually bowed and went forward to take Li Wanqing's pulse. Cuizhu put a handkerchief on Li Wanqing's wrist, and Doctor He began to take her pulse.

Over at Wangyuexuan, Wutong was already a little hesitant. Now, she took a deep breath for a long time at the entrance of Wangyuexuan. It was not until Shijian came out and saw her wandering outside that she could not help but walk out and ask, "Wutong?"

Wutong had his back to Wangyuexuan, so he didn't see Shijian coming and was startled by Shijian's voice.

She turned around and saw Shi Jian and said, "It's Sister Shi Jian."

Shi Jian then asked, "But does Li Liang Di want to see the princess about something?"

Wutong shook his head at first, then nodded and said, "Li Liang Di suddenly had a stomachache, and I just wanted to ask... Your Highness to come over and take a look..."

Shi Jian knew why he hesitated after hearing this. She said, "It's just right. His Highness is also in Wangyue Pavilion now. I'll go in and tell him later. You can come in too, so His Highness won't have to ask about the situation."

Wutong was so grateful to Shijian that he quickly said, "Thank you, Sister Shijian." Then the two of them entered Wangyuexuan together.

Shi Jian knocked on the door and entered after receiving permission. She bowed first, then said, "Your Highness, Princess, Wutong from the Biluo Courtyard wants to see you. He said that Li Liangdi has suddenly had a severe abdominal pain and would like Your Highness to come and see her."

Li Chu thought he was deliberately looking for an excuse to get him to go, so he said, "You have abdominal pain, but I can't treat illnesses. What's the point of going?"

Dugu Jingyao felt that something seemed amiss, so she asked, "Shijian, is Wutong still there?"

Shi Jian nodded and said, "My princess, she is still here."

Dugu Jingyao said, "Let her in."

Shi Jian obeyed the order and left, while Li Chu said, "Why did you ask her to come in? She can't have a stomachache because of me. Even if I go, will she get better?"

Soon, Shi Jian brought Wu Tong in. After the two of them exchanged greetings, Dugu Jingyao asked, "Why did your Li Liang Di suddenly have a stomachache?"

Wutong looked up at the two people at the table. Dugu Jingyao didn't seem too upset, but rather a little anxious. However, Li Chu's face was clearly dark. Wutong quickly lowered her head in fear and said, "Your Highness, Princess, just now, after our Consort Liang drank the contraceptive soup sent by Guard Feng, she started having persistent abdominal pain. At first, it was just a slight pain, and she thought drinking some hot water would be enough, but the pain got worse the longer she went. When I came out just now, her face was pale and she was huddled up in pain."

Li Chu was just about to ask, does this mean that he is to blame?

Dugu Jingyao stopped him and asked, "Have you hired a palace doctor?"

Wutong said, "Cuizhu went to invite him, but when I left, the palace doctor had not arrived yet."

Dugu Jingyao said, "Alright, Your Highness and I already know about this. You should go back and take care of Li Liang Di first. She needs someone by her side."

Wutongru was pardoned, but she was afraid that His Highness would not go. However, as a servant, she did not dare to say anything more, so she had to bow and leave.

After Shi Jian and Wu Tong left, Li Chu said angrily, "Did she say that the contraceptive soup I gave her was problematic?"

Dugu Jingyao soothed him, "Donglang, calm down first. She's been plotting against you, so you're so confused. How could she blame you? But you should still go and see her. Don't let her body get weak to begin with, and the strong contraceptive soup you gave her cause any problems."

Li Chu heard this and thought for a moment before saying, "Ayao is right. I lost my judgment. I'll go take a look and come back."

Dugu Jingyao nodded, and said with a teachable look, "Well, I'll go too."

Li Chu hurriedly stopped her: "What are you going to do?"

Dugu Jingyao said, "Don't worry. It hasn't snowed recently, and there's no ice outside. It's okay to go out. What's more, I'm in the mansion. I have to fulfill my duties as the mistress, right?"

Li Chu had no choice but to allow Dugu Jingyao to go with him. He wrapped her up very tightly before allowing her to go out. The two of them went to Biluoyuan together.

When they arrived at Biluo Courtyard, they went directly to Li Wanqing's bedroom. Naturally, their arrival attracted the servants' greetings and greetings, which could be heard clearly in the bedroom.

After the two arrived at the bedroom, Doctor He, Wutong and Cuizhu all bowed, and even Li Wanqing struggled to stand up and bow.

However, Li Chu was still brooding over the fact that Dugu Jingyao had plotted against him, so he did not stop her. Of course, another reason for this was that he knew Dugu Jingyao would definitely stop her.

As expected, the next moment Dugu Jingyao said, "Sister Li, you don't have to be so polite. Lie down quickly. You all should get up too."

After everyone thanked her, Li Wanqing lay back on the couch and said, "I'm truly sorry for disturbing the princess. I truly deserve to die."

Li Chu now only wanted to say in his heart: "Why are you pretending! You dare to set a trap for me, what else would you not dare to do?" But there was no expression on his face.

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "It's okay. If it weren't for you, His Highness might not have let me go out!"

Li Wanqing also smiled awkwardly and said, "It is my great honor to be able to help the princess."

Dugu Jingyao smiled, then turned to look at the He family doctor and asked, "Mr. He, how is Sister Li?"

Doctor He bowed and then looked up at Li Chu. "Your Highness, Princess, Li Liangdi already has a cold uterus. She took a stronger... pregnancy-preserving medicine and then the contraceptive soup Your Highness gifted her. The drugs conflict with each other, making her cold uterus worse. That's why she's having these persistent abdominal pains."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Jingyao immediately asked, "Will this... affect fertility?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor He quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. She just needs to be nursed back to health. However, if she follows my prescription for about half a year, it won't affect her normal fertility."

Dugu Jingyao and Li Wanqing finally felt relieved. Dugu Jingyao said, "Then please prescribe a prescription for Sister Li. Just use the most effective medicine."

Doctor He said, "I obey your command." After that, he was led aside by Wutong to write a prescription.

Li Chu, who had been watching silently from the sidelines, finally spoke up: "Li Wanqing, since you are not feeling well, you should get some rest. You don't have to go to the main hall to eat tonight. Remember to take your medicine on time and strive to recover as soon as possible. I said that after the princess gives birth to a legitimate son, I will grant you your wish."

Although Li Wanqing was unwilling, she could only grit her teeth and reply, "Yes, Your Highness, I will remember this."

After saying that, Li Chu nodded. Dugu Jingyao also told her to have a good rest. Li Chu then carefully helped Dugu Jingyao away.

Only then did Li Wanqing understand Cui Caiping's jealousy, and now she was also a little jealous of Dugu Jingyao.

She is of noble birth and is His Highness's wife. She is deeply loved by His Highness. Even the retired emperor, the emperor, the empress, and His Highness's brothers and sisters praise her highly. It seems as if everyone revolves around her. How can one not envy, jealousy, or even hate such a person who is as bright as a pearl?

But Li Wanqing didn't reach that level of hatred. After all, she didn't love Li Chu, she just felt a little inferior. Li Chu was also an excellent man, the eldest son of the emperor, a man of both civil and military talents. He was married to the eldest daughter of the Yunnan Palace. They were a match made in heaven. She was just a concubine's daughter, registered under the name of the legitimate daughter. How could she compare to Dugu Jingyao? Thinking of this, Li Wanqing shed two clear tears.
