Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Qin Ruyi sat down on the ground, feeling hopeless. She thought her only proof of innocence was gone. But then another thought occurred to her: That's not right. The person who had been in contact with her hadn't sent her letters since then, but they'd been sending her poison regularly. Her eyes lit up at the thought.

Seeing Qin Ruyi's expression, Dugu Jingyao knew that she must have remembered something, and asked, "Did you remember something?" Qin Ruyi quickly said, "Yes, I remembered that every month, that person would give me poison on the third brick of the third row of the north wall of the back garden." Dugu Jingyao asked again, "Is there any secret code for contact?" Qin Ruyi replied, "On the 10th of every month, the other party will imitate the cuckoo's call three times, and I will call back three times." Dugu Jingyao looked at Shi Jian and said, "What day is today?" Shi Jian thought for a moment and said, "My lord, today is the 10th." Dugu Jingyao said, "Well, let's catch the turtle in the jar tonight!"

Shi Jian wanted to stay, but Dugu Jingyao said, "If she doesn't cherish this only opportunity and plots to murder the princess, she'll be doomed!" Then she took Shi Jian back to Banmengxuan. When they arrived at Banmengxuan, they found Dugu Jingyue swinging on the swing in the courtyard. Dugu Jingyue spotted Dugu Jingyao and Shi Jian walking into the courtyard and immediately told Zhishu to stop. Then, she trotted off and threw herself into Dugu Jingyao's arms, sending her stumbling.

Dugu Jingyao steadied her pace and said sternly in a pretended tone, "Little ancestor, slow down, you almost knocked me down!" Dugu Jingyue came out of her arms and said with a guilty smile, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I will pay attention next time." After that, Dugu Jingyue took Dugu Jingyao's hand and walked towards the inner room, and asked, "Sister, what are you doing? Why don't you take Yue'er with you?" Dugu Jingyao looked at the half-grown child in front of her, touched her head and said, "Yu'er, sister has her own things to do. Will Yue'er not get married in the future? Will she always follow sister?" When Dugu Jingyue heard the word "get married", the figure of Chu Xinghan appeared in her mind, and a blush appeared on her face: "Sister, you are not ashamed!" Dugu Jingyao raised her voice when she heard this: "What? Is our Yue'er feeling amorous?" She laughed after she finished speaking. Dugu Jingyue was both embarrassed and annoyed: "Oh! I won't pay any attention to you!" Then she covered her face and ran out, completely forgetting that she wanted to find out what Dugu Jingyao was doing.

In the afternoon, King Yunnan returned from the military camp. King Yunnan dismounted and Xunfeng approached him. King Yunnan asked, "Have you found out the results?" Xunfeng only said, "There are some clues." King Yunnan frowned slightly, and then said, "Let's talk in the study." The two of them walked to the study in silence.

In the study, the Prince of Yunnan sat upright and said, "Tell me, what have you found?" Xunfeng said, "Your Highness, we've found out, and this matter is probably related to Qin Liangdi." Xunfeng spoke calmly, but the Prince of Yunnan was furious: "It was her! How dare she? Could it be that the Prince and Jingyao treat her badly?" Xunfeng urged the Prince of Yunnan not to get angry, as he might be hurting himself. He then said, "Qin Liangdi's actions had a reason." The Prince of Yunnan asked, "What could have caused her to poison? She's such a vicious person!" Xunfeng replied, "Qin Liangdi's family was abducted." The Prince of Yunnan asked, "Oh? Who was it?" Xunfeng said, "We followed someone and saw him go to Dugu Mansion to report the news." The Prince of Yunnan pondered: Could it be that his second brother was trying to seize the title? That shouldn't be the case! He had already told him that he planned to adopt Yan'er as the successor to the title, and Yao'er had agreed. Who could it be? Was he trying to frame someone? Was he trying to alienate us?
