Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

By the time Xunfeng returned to the Prince of Guangping's mansion, night had already fallen, and the clepsydra scale pointed to the hour of Xu. Although Dugu Xin had anticipated Xunfeng's late return, when he realized that it was so late and Xunfeng had not returned yet, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The driver drove the carriage slowly to a stop in front of the Prince Guangping's Mansion, knocked lightly on the wall of the carriage, and said respectfully, "Sir, we have arrived at the Prince Guangping's Mansion."

Xunfeng, who was inside the carriage, had perhaps not indulged in a drink for a long time, and was now intoxicated. He barely awoke from his slumber, his cheeks flushed and his eyes hazy. He thanked the driver, casually took out some change for the fare, and then, with the driver's help, staggered out of the carriage.

The driver still had to look after the carriage, so he didn't dare to stray too far from it. However, a sharp-eyed servant in the mansion happened to catch a glimpse of Xunfeng's figure and hurried forward, reaching out to support the shaky Xunfeng.

The servant asked with concern, "Guard Swift Wind, how much wine did you drink? Are you feeling well?"

Xunfeng was unconscious and just waved his arms casually, answering vaguely: "It's okay..." Then, he let the servant support him and walked towards Qingfeng Pavilion with a staggering step.

Along the way, Xunfeng's steps were unsteady, and he seemed ready to fall at any moment. But thanks to the careful care of the servant, he finally returned to his residence safely.

Because the servant was responsible for guarding the gate and couldn't leave his post for long, he simply called out twice inside Qingfeng Pavilion. Immediately, another servant responded and took the Swift Wind from the previous servant. Naturally, Dugu Xin, who was in the room, also heard the commotion.

Dugu Xin hurriedly put on a coat and walked out of the house. When he saw Xun Feng's flushed face, as if he was drunk and being supported by someone, he knew it in his heart - Guo Ziyi must have had another alcoholic attack and forced Xun Feng to drink with him.

Then, Dugu Xin turned to the servant beside him and ordered: "Send him back to the room to rest quickly, and prepare a bowl of sobering soup." Xun Feng felt relieved after hearing Dugu Xin's words, but at this moment, he suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

Seeing this, Dugu Xin had no choice but to say to the servant again: "You go and prepare the sobering soup first, and I will escort him back personally." After receiving the order, the servant hurriedly took the order and left, starting to prepare the necessary things.

At the same time, Dugu Xin bent down without hesitation, carried Xunfeng on his back, and headed straight towards the side hall...

At the same time, on the other side, Li Chu, who was planning to go to bed and rest, suddenly heard Feng Shengyi coming to report that someone at Qingfeng Pavilion needed sobering soup.

Li Chu frowned slightly, lost in thought. According to common sense, if it was the King of Yunnan who needed the hangover soup, that was unlikely, as they had just enjoyed dinner together and hadn't consumed any alcohol. Therefore, the only person who might need the hangover soup was Xunfeng.

However, it didn't matter to Li Chu who needed the hangover soup. He simply told Feng Shengyi, "Go, prepare it according to the recipe Jingyao provided." Feng Shengyi took the order and quickly turned away to prepare it.

Not long after, a servant carefully carried a bowl of steaming hot hangover soup into the side hall of Qingfeng Pavilion. Dugu Xin, upon seeing this, quickly signaled the servant to help Xunfeng sit up straight. Then, Dugu Xin personally took a spoon and gently scooped up a spoonful of the soup, blowing on it gently before slowly feeding it to Xunfeng's mouth once it had cooled slightly.

The servant standing nearby watched this scene and couldn't help but wonder: Could everyone's previous speculations be true? Could this Xunfeng really be the illegitimate son of the King of Yunnan?

Although he was filled with doubts, the servant also understood his low status and dared not raise his head for a second glance, fearing that he might cause trouble. So, he could only lower his head silently, waiting for Dugu Xin to finish feeding him.

Before long, a bowl of fragrant hangover-relief soup was slowly poured into Xunfeng's mouth. After he finished the soup, the servant carefully laid Xunfeng flat on the bed and gently covered him with warm blankets, carefully tucking in every corner. After confirming that everything was in place, Dugu Xin finally left with peace of mind.

When they reached the outside of the house, Dugu Xin stopped, turned around and reminded the servant again: "Be sure to pay close attention to any movement in this room."

The servant nodded respectfully and agreed, promising to live up to his trust. Dugu Xin then left the place, and the servant did not return to the wing room to rest. Instead, he stayed in the side hall, found a random spot, and slept on the Arhat couch with his clothes on.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already the next morning. By this time, Xunfeng had slowly woken up, and it was already past the hour of Yin.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids and tried to sit up from the bed. However, the intense dizziness made him feel dizzy and he had no choice but to lie back on the bed. This slight noise happened to wake up the sleeping servant next to him.

The servant hurried forward and asked Xunfeng with concern, "Master Xunfeng, how are you feeling now? Do you need some water?"

Xun Feng stared at the servant in front of him, his heart filled with confusion. He was about to ask why he was there, but his throat was extremely dry, and the sound he made was hoarse and unpleasant, like sandpaper rubbing against each other.

Seeing this, the servant hurriedly said, "Let me get you some water to moisten your throat first!" After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked towards the table. After a while, he brought a glass of water and handed it to Xunfeng.

Xunfeng took the cup and drank it without hesitation. The cool liquid flowed down his throat, like a timely downpour after a long drought. His dry throat instantly became moist and refreshed, like bamboo shoots sprouting from the ground after rain, full of vitality and energy.

Then he asked the servant, "Why are you here? Have you been guarding here all night?"

The servant took the cup and said, "Isn't it? You drank too much last night, and it was the King of Yunnan who carried you back. He then fed you some hangover soup before going back to rest. He ordered me to stay here with you in case you feel unwell."

Hearing the servant's words, Xunfeng was deeply moved.

He regained consciousness, stood up, and dressed, then said to the servant, "I remember your name is Lai Fu?"

The servant said with a surprised smile on his face, "Yes, my name is Lai Fu. Thank you for taking care of me, sir!"

Xun Feng said to Lai Fu, "Thank you very much, Lai Fu. I will ask Nanny Wang in the kitchen to give you an extra chicken drumstick today. You go back first. I'm going to look for the prince."

Lai Fu naturally responded, thanked with a smile, and left the room.
