Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

The King of Yunnan was still immersed in his proposal to Dugu Jingyao. He had originally thought that Dugu Jingyue would appreciate poetry and songs, so he would reward her with a set of four treasures of the study and some rare ancient books. Who would have thought that his eldest daughter would actually register her under her mother's name, making her a legitimate daughter? Actually, this was not a big deal. After all, they were both daughters. Plus, it was the eldest daughter who took the initiative, so it seemed feasible. Thinking about this, he felt that he did favor the eldest daughter more.

Dugu Jingyao returned to Banmengxuan, thinking that based on her understanding of her father, what she said was reasonable and well-founded, and if she acted cute with her father, it should work! She felt relieved when she thought of this. But suddenly she thought of what happened at the banquet, and called Shijian. Shijian saluted and asked Dugu Jingyao: "What's the matter, Princess?" Dugu Jingyao said: "It's nothing big, but I want to find out who wanted to harm me at the banquet today!" Shijian: "Yes, I will go and find out." Dugu Jingyao said again: "You can find out quietly and don't let others know. If you can't find out by asking quietly, you can ask someone to find your cousin. I think he should know who wants to harm me!" Shijian saluted and retreated.

After Shi Jian left, Si Jian looked a little angry. Dugu Jingyao thought she was angry about being framed, so she said, "Si Jian, you don't have to be angry about being framed. I'm not angry, so why are you angry?" Si Jian still looked very angry, so Dugu Jingyao took Si Jian's hand and asked, "Si Jian, what's wrong with you?" Si Jian was startled by his princess's sudden pull towards him, but then he came to his senses and thought: I can't just say that I want to go out and do missions like Shi Jian, right? So he said with tears in his eyes, "It's nothing, princess, it's just too infuriating!" But Dugu Jingyao knew Si Jian too well, and there must be something else, so he asked, "Am I not treating you well?" Si Jian was stunned by the question and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, the princess treats me very well." Dugu Jingyao said again, "Then won't you tell me the truth?" Si Jian lowered his head, "It's because I feel useless." Dugu Jingyao understood what Si Jian said. He probably was a little angry because he asked Shi Jian to go out on missions and never assigned any work to Si Jian! So he said, "Is that so? Who said you are useless? I do have a task to give you, which is more suitable for you. You must do it well?" Si Jian immediately raised his head, his eyes radiating hope: "Just follow the princess's orders!" Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "Wait until Shi Jian finds out who wants to frame me, you go and help me get revenge! Remember, don't let anyone know that it was done by our palace!" Si Jian nodded happily: "Okay, princess, I will definitely help you teach a lesson to the person who wants to harm you!" Then he poured Dugu Jingyao a cup of tea.

Another half hour passed, and Shi Jian came back. He bowed and said, "Princess, I've found out." Dugu Jingyao wiped his sword and said, "Oh? Who is it?" Shi Jian: "It's the eldest son of the Du family, Du Rufeng." Dugu Jingyao felt a little puzzled: "It's him? Why?" Si Jian continued: "Is it because the princess caught him robbing a woman on the street last time, and then taught him a lesson?" Dugu Jingyao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this incident did not happen in the previous life! What's going on? Si Jian looked at Dugu Jingyao's thoughtful expression and said, "Princess, he deserves it. Don't take it to heart. Don't worry, I will definitely do the job you give me!" Although Shi Jian didn't know what it was, he always felt that it would not be a good thing!

By the time Dugu Jingyao finished thinking, Si Jian had already left. Dugu Jingyao asked Shi Jian, "Logically, I should have been on that bed, but who took my place in the end?" Shi Jian replied, "I heard that the eldest son of the Du family just took a concubine a few days ago. It seems she was a maid in the Du Mansion. I'm afraid she was the one who was hanging out with him that day!" Dugu Jingyao sneered, "That's a good deal for her. She barely let the master go."
