Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

The waiter quietly pushed open the door and said in a low voice, "Sir, the person you are looking for is inside."

Hearing this, the visitor simply replied with a faint "hmm", as if he already knew all this.

Seeing this, the waiter continued quickly, "Okay, in that case, I won't disturb you two for now. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me!" After that, he carefully left the room and gently closed the door.

Then, the man walked into the room. At this time, Guo Ziyi had already stood up and respectfully bowed to the man, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!" It turned out that the visitor was not someone else, but His Highness Li Chu, the Prince of Guangping.

In fact, in addition to the house which was carefully packaged and sold to Xunfeng by the owner of a shop under him, the servants were also sold to Xunfeng by other people.

If those who had just arrived in Chang'an and were unfamiliar with the area were asked to buy servants directly through matchmakers, it would be difficult for them to choose suitable and practical candidates. After all, these newcomers were unfamiliar with the local situation and could easily be deceived by appearances, thus buying something that looked pretty but was actually useless.

Therefore, Li Chu suddenly came up with a clever idea - to find another reliable person to assist him. This person could be responsible for selecting suitable servants and placing them in the hands of the matchmaker. Then, Li Chu would find a way to get Xunfeng to purchase these servants.

In this way, even if someone investigates the matter in the future, they will never link it to him. And when Dugu Xin and his family use these servants, they will naturally have no worries and can use them to do things without any worries.

After Li Chu sat down steadily, he looked at Guo Ziyi with a smile and gentle eyes, and said softly: "Master Guo, please don't stand all the time. Please sit down quickly!"

However, Guo Ziyi seemed to be under a spell and did not dare to move at all. He clenched his teeth tightly, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.

Finally, he made up his mind, knelt on his knees with a thud, and then kowtowed quickly, saying in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I'm afraid this matter is going to be messed up..." As soon as he said this, his head drooped even lower, as if he wanted to bury himself deep into the ground.

Li Chu frowned slightly upon seeing this, but soon relaxed again. He didn't show any excessive severity, but instead asked with a hint of confusion, "Sir Guo, please stand up and speak first. There's no need to be so panicked. I remember instructing before that those people should be sent to the Yunnan Palace, right? Why are you saying things have gone wrong now?"

Guo Ziyi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then explained to Li Chu in detail what had happened: "Your Highness, it is indeed as you said. The people have long been delivered to the newly purchased mansion of the King of Yunnan. But this morning, the man named Xunfeng went to the mansion, claiming that he wanted to supervise them to clean the house as soon as possible. Who would have thought that these people had already completed the cleaning work in advance, and everything was in order..." At this point, Guo Ziyi paused, with a look of helplessness and confusion on his face.

Li Chu was even more confused after hearing this, and thought to himself: This is obviously a good thing, could there be any problem?

He couldn't help but ask, "So what exactly happened? I hope Lord Guo can tell me the truth." At this moment, the whole room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Guo Ziyi's next answer.

Guo Ziyi took a deep breath and explained in detail again: "When the matchmaker introduced them to me, she kept saying that these people were just bought by her and had not received any training yet. However, what I saw and heard today was completely different. Whether it was the mansion that was cleaned freshly, or the servant who was responsible for leading us, his words and deeds all revealed a well-trained temperament. It was this obvious contrast that aroused Xunfeng's doubts about their identities..." At this point, Guo Ziyi could not help but lower his head again, like a child who regretted making a mistake, with a face full of guilt.

After listening to Guo Ziyi's narration, Li Chu already understood the whole story, but he did not show too much surprise or dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, he gently stretched out his hand, helped Guo Ziyi up and said, "Lord Guo, please stand up quickly. This matter is not a big deal. If the King of Yunnan really finds out that someone was behind this deliberately, then I'm afraid we will have to rely on Lord Guo to step forward and take the responsibility of the person who made the arrangement." After speaking, Li Chu looked at Guo Ziyi meaningfully, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Guo Ziyi naturally understood the hint in Li Chu's eyes, and immediately responded respectfully: "I am well aware of the interests involved. This time I will definitely go all out and will never let Your Highness down, nor will I repeat the same mistakes!" His voice was firm and powerful, revealing a sense of determination.

Li Chu smiled and personally extended his hand to signal Guo Ziyi to take a seat quickly, saying in a friendly tone, "Okay, Mr. Guo, please take a seat quickly! There's no need to be so reserved."

Guo Ziyi bowed slightly and then sat down on the chair carefully. He stood straight and looked at Li Chu respectfully.

After Guo Ziyi settled down, Li Chu spoke again, his voice gentle but firm: "Lord Guo, you were once a subordinate of the King of Yunnan, loyal to him and always considerate of him. I'm sure even if he knew what happened today, he wouldn't blame you. What do you think?"

Guo Ziyi, a man of great intelligence, instantly understood the Prince of Guangping's intentions. He knew that the Prince probably didn't want the Prince of Yunnan to know that he was secretly helping him, so he quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness is absolutely right. I will faithfully obey Your Highness's orders."

Afterwards, the two exchanged a smile, their understanding evident. They both knew that some things didn't need to be spoken; they just needed to be understood.

Then, the two began to order. Li Chu carefully inquired about Guo Ziyi's taste preferences, and Guo Ziyi humbly said that everything would be at the emperor's disposal. Finally, they ordered several exquisite and delicious dishes and enjoyed this sumptuous lunch together.

During the meal, the two chatted and laughed, discussing some light-hearted topics, and the atmosphere was harmonious. However, regarding the important matter just mentioned, both parties tacitly did not mention a word.

After lunch, Li Chu and Guo Ziyi stood up, said goodbye to each other, and returned to their respective residences.
