Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

On the other hand, Li Chu was worried, so he decided to go look for it himself, but in order not to alert the enemy, he planned to look for it in the evening.

Now he just prayed that this method would work, and at the same time prayed that their previous inferences were correct, so that Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue would be safe.

Still in that dark little room, Dugu Jingyao was thinking of ways to escape or send a message.

Just when Dugu Jingyao was at a loss, suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. She smiled and whispered, "Yuer, can you help me see if I have a purple sachet tied to my body?"

Liu Jingyue was puzzled. Why was her sister still thinking about the sachet at this hour? Or perhaps, what was inside the sachet? So she nodded and tried to lie down.

After taking a look, she found a purple sachet, so she stood up with the help of Dugu Jingyao and whispered, "Yes, sister."

Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "That's good. This sachet was specially made for me by Lin Zhi. If it can leave its fragrance a thousand miles away."

Liu Jingyue didn't smell any particularly strong scent even though she was so close to him just now. She thought: This didn't arouse the suspicion of Zhang and the two gatekeepers, so how could the fragrance linger so long?

Dugu Jingyao looked at Liu Jingyue's puzzled expression, so she leaned close to her ear and explained the function of the sachet to her in detail.

Liu Jingyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she thought to herself: "So, isn't this a possibility?" And one thing is certain: they shouldn't be too far from Chang'an City, so as long as the Fragrance-Seeking Butterfly is with them, they will definitely be able to get out!

Although both of them were full of confidence in Murong Linzhi's sachet, they might not be able to rescue them for a while, so they still had to conserve their strength.

Dugu Jingyao remembered something and asked, "By the way, Yue'er, do you know how many people there are in this mansion?"

Liu Jingyue wasn't entirely sure, so she answered truthfully, "I'm not entirely sure either. I only heard six or seven people, presumably servants, greeting the man called Yu Da on the way there. There were both men and women, so I assumed they were servants. As for whether they knew martial arts, I'm not sure..."

From what I hear, there aren't many guards in this mansion, so there might be only these two people responsible for keeping an eye on them. I just don't know if there are other people hiding in the dark... If the enemy comes, we'll just fight him with our soldiers and if the water comes, we'll block it with earth!

Soon, it was evening. Dugu Xin from the Yunnan Palace had arranged matters in Yunnan, so he brought Dugu Moyan to the Guangping Palace.

Li Chu had sent Feng Shengyi to use the scent-seeking butterfly to track the fragrance for some time. It was already time for dinner, so he had dinner early. When Feng Shengyi came back, he was ready to set out together to find Dugu Jingyao.

I didn't expect my father-in-law and brother-in-law to come, but that's normal. It just happened that not long after they arrived, Feng Shengyi also came back with news.

Feng Shengyi paused for a moment as he saw Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan there, then continued walking forward. He walked into the main hall, bowed, and said, "I pay my respects to the King of Yunnan, His Highness, and the Crown Prince."

Seeing Feng Shengyi seeming a little hesitant, Dugu Xin seemed to have guessed something, so he asked, "But is there any news about Yao'er and Yue'er?"

Feng Shengyi glanced at Li Chu first. After all, Dugu Xin and Dugu Moyan were their relatives, so they were extremely anxious. It was only right to share the news with them. So Li Chu nodded slightly and said, "Feng Shengyi, go ahead and tell me. We are all family."

Feng Shengyi then said, "Yes, the secret guards followed the scent-seeking butterfly and found it flying out of the city. It finally arrived at a hidden mansion with the name Shi Mansion written on it."

Li Chu frowned upon hearing this: "Shi Mansion? Isn't it An Mansion?"

Feng Shengyi said with certainty, "After they reported it to me, I personally went to investigate and it was indeed the Shi Mansion."

Dugu Xin was puzzled: "Could we have guessed wrong? Isn't An Lushan planning a rebellion?"

Li Chu always felt that something was wrong. He thought carefully about the officials with the surname Shi, and the name "Shi Siming" flashed in his mind.

So Li Chu said, "It is very likely Shi Siming's residence."

Dugu Moyan thought of a possibility: "Could it be that An Lushan and Shi Siming are joining forces to rebel together?"

Li Chu pondered for a moment and slowly said, "There is also the possibility that what my elder brother said is true. So I plan to go and see it myself."

Dugu Moyan immediately responded, "I'll go with you!"

Dugu Xin naturally wanted to go in person, but he was afraid that if someone came to the house to deliver a letter and no one was there, it would not work. So he nodded and said, "Well, Chu'er, let Mo Yan go with you, so that we can rest assured."

Li Chu felt that this was human nature, so he agreed.

The two of them changed into night clothes inside, and still wore brocade robes outside. They got on the carriage, and Dugu Xin also got on the carriage, but one carriage was going out of the city, and the other was going to the Yunnan Palace.

Li Chu and his men quickly left the city, but not long after the carriage had traveled, Feng Shengyi knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness, Prince, to prevent them from placing troops nearby, we will be too conspicuous if we ride in a carriage. We need to walk."

Li Chu and Dugu Moyan looked at each other and both agreed, so Li Chu said, "Okay, we'll come down right away!"

Soon, the two got out of the car one after another, and then they walked to a place close to Shi's mansion, where the secret guards appeared nearby.

The leader of the secret guards greeted the two men and said, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, we have been waiting here for a long time. Aside from the four guarding the gate, no other guards were found in the nearby woods. I also sent someone to observe the mansion from above, and it's quite large. However, because it was daytime, we didn't want to alert the enemy, so the butterfly only found this place and was taken away."

Li Chu nodded and saw the mansion not far away. It was indeed written with the name Shi Mansion on it. He had already thought of a hundred ways to kill Shi Siming.

Dugu Moyan saw that it was getting dark, so he said to Li Chu: "It's getting dark, why don't we release the Fragrance-Seeking Butterfly again and then explore the Shi Mansion at night."

Li Chu was also eager to go and find out what was going on, but he still had some sense, so he said: "We don't know the terrain of this mansion, how about this, An Yi, you send someone in to quietly find out the guard deployment and the terrain."

An Yi agreed and arranged for two people to quietly go up to the roof and sneak into Shi's house.

About half an hour later, the two people who were sent out returned. They drew a picture of the general situation of the investigation and presented it to Li Chu.

Li Chu lit a candle and looked at the map. This looked like a house with five courtyards, and there were not many guards inside, only about ten or so.

One of the secret guards replied, "Your Highness, Prince, this mansion has five courtyards. There are only four guards guarding the front yard, and no one else. The backyard is more crowded, with about ten guards."

He stood up and pointed to two places on the map. "Two people are guarding the doors of both of them. I seemed to hear a man and a woman in one of the rooms. They must not be the princess and the county lord. But the other room is dark from the outside, and there is no movement. So I dare to guess that the princess and the county lord may be imprisoned here."

Li Chu nodded in satisfaction: "Well, well done."

So Li Chu and Dugu Moyan decided to visit Shi's house at night to see if Liu was really Shi Siming.

The two men took off their brocade robes, put on night clothes, put on masks, and quietly came to the wall behind, and then quickly climbed onto the roof.

Following the map drawn by the secret guard, they first found the room where a man and a woman were. They quietly opened a brick from the top and took a look. They saw that it was indeed a man and a woman, but they were... doing exercise...

Li Chu put the bricks back on. Dugu Moyan was confused because he hadn't had time to see it yet, and he was still a virgin... so...

Dugu Moyan glanced at Li Chu with some dissatisfaction and said, "Why did you cover it up when I haven't even seen who it is?"

Li Chu said awkwardly: "Ahem, wait a moment, let's go to the next room first and come back later."

Dugu Moyan didn't understand, but didn't say anything. He went to the next room. However, when he lifted the tiles of this room, he found that it was pitch black inside. Only a ray of moonlight could show that it looked like a woodshed. Looking closely, he found that there were two beautiful figures inside - none other than Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue.

I saw the two of them cuddling together, seemingly whispering something, but I couldn't hear clearly because they were too far away.

Seeing this scene, Li Chu and Dugu Moyan were both delighted, but when they saw the two men being locked up in the woodshed, they cursed the Shi family's ancestors for eighteen generations in their hearts.

However, now that they had seen the two of them, they felt much more at ease. Although the environment was a little bad and their hands and feet were tied, at least they didn't seem to be in any serious trouble.

Li Chu had silently memorized the blueprint, so he thought of something and rolled up the blueprint and threw it down through the gap between the tiles, and it just fell next to Dugu Jingyao.

When Dugu Jingyao saw something, she moved forward to check it out, but her hands and feet were tied, which made it quite inconvenient for her to do. So she asked Liu Jingyue for help, and the two of them worked together to open the paper.

The moonlight allowed her to make out what looked like a map, with the number of guards marked on it. She was about to thank God when she looked up and saw two heads poking out from the roof.

Seeing them look up, the two people on the roof took off their veils. When their true faces were revealed, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue were surprised and delighted. However, they could not communicate now and could only stare at each other silently.

Seeing that the time was almost up and confirming the positions of the two people, they covered the tiles and returned to the roof. When they returned, the sound of movement below had stopped.

The lights were now brightly lit, and by the candlelight, Li Chu saw that the man was Shi Siming, and the woman next to him... He was stunned for a moment, thinking he had seen it wrong, so he looked again carefully. Yes, it was her! The Zhang who died in the palace!

Li Chu couldn't help but wonder: She actually faked her own death? And she told Shi Siming... Could it be that she had already betrayed her father?

Dugu Moyan looked at Li Chu's surprised expression and couldn't help but feel curious. Just as he was about to speak, Li Chu made a "hush" gesture and whispered, "Go back first."

Dugu Moyan felt that it made sense and that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so the two of them quickly went back outside.

This time, Dugu Moyan couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Why are you so surprised? But do you know that woman?"

Li Chu nodded, but he did not continue. After all, this Zhang might have cheated on his father a long time ago. This was a scandal. Although they were family, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Seeing how he avoided talking about it, Dugu Moyan guessed that he had something to hide, so he didn't ask any further. He wasn't one for gossip. But the trip wasn't in vain; at least he knew his two sisters were safe.
