Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 534 Li Chu fainted again

The Li family was not a good person either. Li Chu was followed by people from the Li family all the way. However, because they were at war with the Jinling garrison and Li Chu was poisoned, he didn't notice that someone was following him secretly.

The Li family also received the news that Li Chu was poisoned and delayed for a few days, so he felt more at ease to accompany Tinglan to take care of the pregnancy.

This sudden change made Tinglan feel a little strange, so after lunch one day, Tinglan asked, "Didn't Your Highness say that you could only stay here with me for five days? Now it's the sixth day, and Your Highness is not in a hurry to go back?"

Li Xi pretended to be angry and said, "I am here with you, and you are still not happy? Then I can leave now!"

Tinglan quickly said coquettishly: "No, Your Highness, I don't mean that, I'm just a little curious..."

Although Li Xi now cherishes Tinglan, he hasn't reached the point where he tells her everything. Li Xi then asked, "Do you know the saying that curiosity kills the cat?"

Tinglan was afraid that Li Xi would be disgusted by her inquiries, so she could only say, "Well, I won't ask any more questions. Your Highness, please don't be angry."

Li Xi then scratched Tinglan's nose with his finger and said, "That's good." He paused and said, "But the king must go back in two days. Otherwise, if Li Chu returns to Chang'an first, the king will lose the opportunity."

Tinglan pretended to obey and said, "I know that Your Highness's great cause is the most important. Only when Your Highness is well can I and my child be well."

Li Xi couldn't help but sigh: "Well, if only the princess could be half as understanding as you."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Li Xi said, "Come in."

Afterwards, Xiu'er came in with a lunch box. Tinglan felt worried when she saw the lunch box because she knew it contained pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

Li Xi saw that Tinglan's brows were almost furrowed together, and smiled lightly, "Xiu'er, go get some candied fruit for Aunt Lan."

Xiu'er also found out that Tinglan didn't like taking medicine, so she said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have prepared candied fruits." After that, she opened the food box. The upper layer contained pregnancy-maintaining medicine, and the lower layer contained candied fruits.

Tinglan smiled and said, "Your Highness and Xiu'er are the ones who understand me." Only then did she drink the medicine obediently.

In the evening, Li Xi received a letter saying that Li Chu had recovered and was rushing back to Chang'an, expecting to arrive in Chang'an in five days. After reading it, he burned the letter and roughly calculated that he could only arrive in Chang'an before Li Chu if he set out tomorrow.

After Li Xi returned to his bedroom, he said to Ting Lan, "Lan'er, I will be leaving for Chang'an tomorrow. You should stay here and take care of your pregnancy. I will come and take you back after I have dealt with the affairs in Chang'an."

Although Li Xi doted on Tinglan, he would not share everything with her. For example, Tinglan knew nothing about the contents of this letter.

Tinglan pursed her lips and said, "Didn't His Highness say he would be back in two days? Why are you leaving tomorrow?"

Li Xi hugged Tinglan and said, "There is an urgent matter in Chang'an, and I need to go back to deal with it."

Tinglan had some guesses in her mind after hearing this. After all, Li Xi was not a very high-ranking official, and she was not to the point where she could not live without him. So it was likely that Li Chu was about to come back, which was why Li Xi was so impatient.

Tinglan nodded slightly and said, "Okay then. I'll wait here for Your Highness to come pick me up."

Li Xi was very satisfied with Tinglan's performance. After they cuddled together for a while, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Li Chu was indeed riding at full speed, and in just four days he caught up with Guo Ziyi and his group.

Of course, Guo Ziyi and his group were a little surprised to see Li Chu and his companions rushing in. One reason was their speed, and the other was whether Li Chu was really okay.

However, Li Chu didn't care about these things. After a few pleasantries, Li Chu asked, "How are Magistrate Du and the others? Are they going to run away again?"

Guo Ziyi said, "Your Highness, although Magistrate Du and his wife tried to escape several times, they were recaptured each time. Now they seem to be getting closer and closer to Chang'an City, and after several unsuccessful attempts to escape, they have finally stopped."

Li Chu nodded slightly, but he still reminded: "The closer we get to Chang'an, the more dangerous it will be. We must not take it lightly." Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi responded in unison.

Perhaps because he caught up with the main force and confirmed that the suspects were still alive and had not escaped, Li Chu's nerves loosened. After he finished speaking, his eyes went dark and he fainted.

This frightened Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi terribly. Who could stand this old man fainting? Especially since he was a prince. If anything happened, they would be blamed for it.

Fortunately, they met in a small town, and Guo Ziyi immediately sent someone to call a doctor.

After the doctor's diagnosis, they finally felt relieved. It turned out that Li Chu had fainted simply because he had been traveling day and night since he had just recovered, and he was overworked. He would be fine after resting.

In Chang'an City, Dugu Jingyao seemed to have telepathy with Li Chu. Although Li Chu had written her a letter telling her that she had set off safely, and she later received a letter saying that everything was fine, she always felt uneasy.

Especially when Li Chu was poisoned and fainted, Dugu Jingyao felt her heart clenched and she felt inexplicably anxious. She wanted to write to Li Chu, but she didn't know where they were, so she could only wait for Li Chu to send back news.

She wanted to run to the city gate every day to wait. After all, according to the date, it should be here in the next two days. However, she sent Shi Jian to the city gate for two consecutive days, but did not see Li Chu and others. She couldn't help feeling anxious.

So she changed her strategy and went to the palace every day to pay her respects to the emperor and the empress, to see if she could get any news. On this day, Dugu Jingyao did get news in the palace that Li Chu had been poisoned a few days ago, but thanks to the medicine Dugu Jingyao gave him, he has now recovered and is on his way back, and will arrive in two or three days.

Dugu Jingyao was terrified when she heard this, but fortunately she had prepared a lot of pills for Li Chu, and she really used them. Otherwise, he might not come back, or even if he came back, he might not be sober or like a normal person.
