Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

At Floating Cloud Pavilion, Dugu Jingyue felt like something was amiss, and her right eyelid kept twitching, making her fidget anxiously. Another stick of incense passed before Zhishu returned, his expression somewhat gloomy. Dugu Jingyue's heart leaped into her throat at the sight of Zhishu's face.

Dugu Jingyue couldn't bear it any longer and stood up: "Zhishu, just tell me what's going on. What's with that expression?" Zhishu had to speak awkwardly: "I asked, and I heard that Princess Yi'an went to...Qin Liangdi's Qingfeng Pavilion this morning." Dugu Jingyue was shocked: "Why did she go to my mother's yard?" Zhishu said: "I don't know. I just heard that they talked about something in the main hall. Because the door was closed, no one heard it." Dugu Jingyue felt that it must be something bad, otherwise her sister would not go to Qingfeng Pavilion, and the door was closed! So she ordered Zhishu: "Go, find someone to keep an eye on Qingfeng Pavilion and Banmengxuan." Zhishu responded and went down to make arrangements.

By dinnertime, everyone was bland, each preoccupied with their own thoughts. After dinner, everyone returned to their respective courtyards to prepare for the evening's action. Nearing midnight, a large crowd gathered in the backyard, along the walls and on the tops of the walls. Dugu Jingyue had already gone to bed and wasn't supposed to be involved in the evening's action, but when Zhishu came back and said, "Everyone from Banmengxuan and Qingfengge has gone to the backyard," she became curious and quietly took Zhishu with her.

The two of them hid behind the rockery, watching those people, and knew that something big was going to happen. However, after waiting for half an hour, there was still no movement, and they didn't understand what they were going to do. But seeing that they had all retreated, they could only return in shame. Tonight, several courtyards were awake all night, and only Dugu Jingyao and the King of Yunnan were lucky enough to sleep for at least half the night.

The next morning, everyone had dark circles under their eyes. Dugu Jingyao had asked in advance if the King of Yunnan was in the palace today. It turned out he was, so after breakfast, she went to find him.

As soon as he walked to the front yard, he saw the King of Yunnan walking out and called out to him, "Father, are you going to the military camp?" The King of Yunnan saw Dugu Jingyao and looked at her dotingly, "I have something to do today, so I won't go to the military camp." Dugu Jingyao did not hide it, and guessed that his father already knew it, so he said, "Father, do you know who did the poisoning?" The King of Yunnan was stunned to see his daughter so straightforward, and then he thought that Yao'er should know who reminded her yesterday, so he said, "I can only say roughly, so I have to verify it now." Dugu Jingyao said, "Then Yao'er, can you go with me?" The King of Yunnan was about to refuse, but Dugu Jingyao said, "I am the victim, and I have the right to know who hurt me." The King of Yunnan had no choice but to let her go with him. He felt that his daughter had really grown up!

So the two of them took a carriage to Dugu Mansion together. Dugu Jingyao did not ask where they were going along the way. She just closed her eyes and rested until they arrived at the place. She lifted the curtain to look. She did guess that it was Dugu Mansion, after all, there was power temptation, but when she really saw it, she felt very uncomfortable.

As the two of them got off the carriage, someone at the door immediately came forward to welcome them into the main hall. Just as they were about to call Dugu Yan and his family, King Dugu Xin of Yunnan stopped the servant and said, "Just call my second brother."

About an incense stick of time later, Dugu Yan arrived. Just as he was about to try to get close to his elder brother, he discovered that Dugu Jingyao was sitting next to him. Dugu Xin also had a serious look on his face. He could only smile awkwardly and said, "Brother, Yao'er, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Dugu Xin said, "Why? You can't come if there's nothing wrong?" Dugu Yan smiled and said, "How could that be?" Dugu Xin's expression improved a little: "But I do have something to talk to you about today." Dugu Yan secretly complained in his heart: Isn't it because of something? This elder brother is really something. It's okay if he says it himself, but not if I say it! Oh!

Dugu Xin said, "Did I tell you that I have the idea of adopting Mo Yan?" Dugu Yan was puzzled: "Yes, big brother, what's the matter?" Dugu Xin slammed the table and stood up: "Then why did you want to harm my Yao'er!" Dugu Yan was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Dugu Jingyao: "Big brother, what are you talking about? How is it possible?" Dugu Xin sneered: "Humph, my Yao'er was given a chronic poison. Some time ago, the poison took effect and she was lying in bed for a long time. If it hadn't been discovered early, she would have died of the poison!"
