Chapter 407: Drunk and messed up!
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room. Li Chu slowly opened his eyes, feeling as if his head was about to explode with unbearable pain. He endured the discomfort and looked around, only to be surprised to find that he was not in the familiar Wangyue Pavilion. Doubt and uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.
At this moment, a slight noise came from the side. It turned out that Cui Caiping was awakened by Li Chu's sudden movement. She stood up sleepily, rubbed her eyes, and then leaned towards Li Chu in a daze and asked softly, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why are you so panicked?"
However, Li Chu had no sympathy for Cui Caiping at this moment. He flung his hand away as if he had seen something disgusting and filthy. He forcefully pushed Cui Caiping away and shouted, "Get out of here! I remember clearly that you were heading towards Wangyue Pavilion yesterday and even ran into the princess on the way. How could you appear here for no apparent reason?"
Cui Caiping was stunned at first by Li Chu's rebuke and indifference, but she quickly reacted. She quickly composed herself, feigning sadness, tears welling in her eyes as she said coquettishly, "Your Highness, you are truly forgetful! The person you met on the road last night was clearly me, Ping'er! You were completely drunk at the time, and it took me a lot of effort to help you back to your room. We spent a wonderful night together, filled with affection. How could you be so heartless and forget just like that?"
As she spoke, she reached out and picked up the clothes beside the bed and gently draped them over herself. She looked so pitiful that anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.
Li Chu cursed himself in his heart. How did he fall into Cui Caiping's trap? And why didn't Feng Shengyi come to look for him?
He just felt irritated. Cui Caiping was still sobbing beside him, which made him feel even more annoyed. He shouted, "Stop crying! Someone come!"
How could Mo Xin and Lian Xin dare to disobey, especially since they could tell that Li Chu was really angry? They pushed the door open and walked in. After entering the room, they bowed respectfully and said, "This servant pays his respects to His Highness Prince Guangping!"
Li Chu didn't let them get up, and only asked: "One of you two will go find Feng Shengyi, and the other one will explain to me why I am in Linglong Pavilion!"
The two were so frightened that they dared not look up. Mo Xin hurriedly said, "This servant will go and invite Master Feng."
Lian Xin couldn't help but curse inwardly, "He actually ran away? Just leaving me here to endure the wrath of His Highness Prince Guangping?"
Li Chu said, "Go!" Then he pointed at Lian Xin and asked, "Tell me, what happened last night?"
Lian Xin followed the script they had agreed on yesterday and replied, "Your Highness, last night our Lady Liang was a little full and was taking a stroll in the garden. She happened to run into you. She was afraid you'd blame her like last time, so she dodged a bit. But you didn't blame her and were very gentle. Finally, she asked if she could help you to Linglong Pavilion. You said yes, and only then did she dare to help you back."
Li Chu recalled, but he clearly remembered meeting Dugu Jingyao, so how did it become Cui Caiping? Could it be that he was really drunk?
Not long after, Mo Xin came back, but it was not only Feng Shengyi who came, but also Dugu Jingyao and Shi Jian.
After seeing Dugu Jingyao, Li Chu felt a little guilty. If she knew that he mistook Cui Caiping for her, how sad would she be?
Li Chu put on the clothes on the couch. Cui Caiping also put on her clothes at this moment. Seeing Dugu Jingyao, she reluctantly bowed to her and said, "Your concubine pays respects to the princess."
Dugu Jingyao ignored her and simply found a place to sit down and said, "Your Highness, I ordered someone to prepare a hangover soup for you, but you didn't drink it when you came to Linglong Pavilion yesterday. I bet you have a headache today. That's why I came here in person to bring you the headache medicine."
Li Chu touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Well, thank you Ayao for making this trip. It's all my fault. I drank too much yesterday and fell into someone's trap. It really is true that drinking leads to mistakes!"
Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Your Highness, you should drink the medicine to relieve your headache first. You still have to go to court soon. Besides, I listened to you yesterday and said that if you come back too late, I will go to bed if I feel sleepy. So, when you returned home, I was already asleep. Otherwise, I would not let you fall into someone else's trap!"
Dugu Jingyao ordered Shijian to bring the medicine, but not to Li Chu directly, but to the table where she was sitting. Seeing this, Li Chu sat down on the other side of the table dejectedly, picked up the medicine and drank it.
Cui Caiping just knelt there, listening to their chatter. They were all mocking her for using tricks to gain Li Chu's favor, but she didn't care. After all, her goal was achieved, and these were of no concern to her.
Dugu Jingyao saw Cui Caiping kneeling there without any response. She didn't expect her to be so patient, so she pretended to say, "Oh, Sister Cui, you see, it's all my fault for letting you kneel for so long. Hurry up and get up!"
Cui Caiping then reluctantly bowed and thanked her, "Thank you, Princess. I'm fine."
Cui Caiping thought that was the end of it, but Li Chu called Feng Shengyi in and asked, "Did you bring the things?"
Feng Shengyi heard this and said, "Your Highness, I have brought it."
Li Chu said again: "Bring it up."
Feng Shengyi then picked up a food box, took out the contents and brought it to Cui Caiping. Li Chu just said coldly, "This is the contraceptive soup, drink it!"
Cui Caiping knew she couldn't avoid it, but it didn't matter. She had already taken the abortion medicine after serving him the night before. Madam Han Guo said it was very effective and would definitely give birth to a boy. However, she wasn't sure if the contraceptive soup would affect its effectiveness. She finally drank it anyway.
Seeing Cui Caiping drink the contraceptive soup, Li Chu finally felt relieved. However, he still felt it was not enough, so he said, "Cui Caiping, you should be grounded for half a month."
Upon hearing this, Cui Caiping asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why is this happening? What did I do wrong?"
Li Chu snorted coldly and said, "Cui Caiping, what did you do last night? Although I have no evidence, do you dare to say that you did nothing last night?"
Cui Caiping really defended herself, "Your Highness, I didn't do anything! I just happened to run into you. It was you who said you wanted to come back with me, and it was you..."
Li Chu didn't want to hear her explanation, so he said loudly: "Don't say anything, I don't want to hear your explanation, this matter is settled."
Then he turned to Dugu Jingyao and said, "Let's go, A'yao, let's go to your place for breakfast." Dugu Jingyao naturally agreed, and he and Li Chu left Linglong Pavilion, leaving Cui Caiping sitting helplessly on the ground crying, and even knocked over the chair beside her.
On the way back, Dugu Jingyao didn't say anything, and Li Chu also felt a little guilty, so he didn't say anything either. The two of them returned to Wangyuexuan in silence.
Back at Wangyuexuan, Dugu Jingyao went into the bedroom first and actually locked Li Chu outside. This action startled Feng Shengyi, Shi Jian, and even the passing maids.
Li Chu also knew that Dugu Jingyao was probably angry, but she was just giving him face outside so she didn't lose her temper. So he knocked on the door and said, "Ayao, don't be angry, open the door."
Dugu Jingyao wasn't really that angry. After all, she couldn't serve Li Chu herself, so she just thought it was a bargain for Cui Caiping. But she still pretended to be angry and said, "No, go eat by yourself. I'm so angry!"
Li Chu pretended to say, "Since A Yao doesn't want to see me, I'll leave first. I'll come back when you've calmed down."
Listening to the footsteps outside the door gradually fading away, Dugu Jingyao was really angry this time. She left with just two words? No longer trying to comfort herself.
She was about to open the door angrily, but unexpectedly, someone hugged her from behind. She was about to elbow that person, but unexpectedly, the person turned out to be Li Chu!
Dugu Jingyao was amused by him: "Why, you're going through the window in your own house?"
Li Chu put his arm around her waist and said, "Ayao, you refuse to open the door. I can only go the old way..."
Dugu Jingyao suddenly realized something and quickly broke away from Li Chu's arms. Li Chu thought she was still angry, so he went forward and hugged her and said, "Why, are you still angry?"
Dugu Jingyao said, "Be gentle!"
Li Chu refused, and he hugged Dugu Jingyao tighter. Dugu Jingyao whispered again: "Oh, be gentle, I'm pregnant..."
Li Chu was confused: "What do you have?"
Dugu Jingyao glanced at her belly speechlessly and said, "What else could it be?"
Li Chu finally reacted and happily asked Dugu Jingyao to face him. He looked at her belly and said, "Ayao, are you pregnant? Are you having our child?"
Dugu Jingyao smiled gently and nodded. Li Chu wanted to pick Dugu Jingyao up, but Dugu Jingyao quickly took a step back: "Hey, don't be so excited. It's still early in the pregnancy. Don't hurt the baby..."
Li Chu finally gave up, smiled, squatted down, and stroked Dugu Jingyao's belly, saying: "Yes, yes, I was too excited. Come on, baby, you have to be good and don't torment your mother too much."
Dugu Jingyao laughed and said, "You're still too young, how can you hear it?"
Li Chu said, "It's okay. I can often instill this idea into the baby, and he will understand. Let's go, forget about this for now, and have breakfast first. We can't let the mother and child go hungry."
Dugu Jingyao poked Li Chu's head with her finger and said, "I didn't expect that our dignified Prince Guangping would be so talkative in private."
Just like that, the two of them had smiles on their faces, which confused the other servants. However, it didn't matter. In the eyes of the other servants, as long as their master did not fall out of favor, otherwise they would also be implicated.
