Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Soon after, Guo Ziyi also heard that Li Chu was going to Yunnan in person. Guo Ziyi thought that instead of asking others to take him there, why not trouble His Royal Highness Prince Guangping? With this in mind, he came to the Prince Guangping's mansion with the birthday gift prepared for Dugu Jingyao.

The servant of the mansion saw Guo Ziyi and told him to wait while he went in to report. When Li Chu first heard that Guo Ziyi had arrived, he thought something had happened again, so he said to the servant: "Go and lead Lord Guo into the main hall. I will be there soon."

In the main hall, Guo Ziyi waited for less than an incense stick of time before Li Chu arrived. Seeing Li Chu coming, Guo Ziyi immediately stood up and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Guangping." Li Chu exempted Guo Ziyi from the formalities and said, "What's the matter, Lord Guo?" Guo Ziyi was a little embarrassed: "It's not a big deal, Your Highness, it's just..." Li Chu was a little curious when he saw Guo Ziyi like this, so he asked, "What is it?" Guo Ziyi said with a stiff upper lip: "It's like this, Your Highness, I heard that you were going to Yunnan. Because of the advance notice from Princess Yi'an, I was able to make arrangements and collect evidence. I heard that Princess Yi'an's birthday is next month, so I specially prepared "I have a small gift for the princess. But I am busy with official business and cannot go there in person, so... so..." Li Chu was very clear about what he meant: "Lord Guo wants me to take it to you, right?" Guo Ziyi heard what Li Chu said and said, "Your Highness is smart!" Li Chu said, "That's nothing, I will help you deliver it." Guo Ziyi was relieved to see that Li Chu agreed. Just as he was about to say goodbye, Li Chu said, "Lord Guo is grateful and willing to repay your kindness. I am naturally willing to serve you." Guo Ziyi was sweating profusely when he heard this. How could he dare let Prince Guangping say that he was serving him! So he said, "Your Highness, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Li Chu smiled lightly and asked someone to see Guo Ziyi out. On the way out, Guo Ziyi almost tripped over the threshold.

Elsewhere, in Yunnan, at Floating Cloud Pavilion, with twenty days left, Dugu Jingyue was frantically preparing for Dugu Jingyao's birthday banquet. Not only herself, but she also approached Dugu Moyan, who in turn approached Chu Xinghan to discuss the matter. In short, Dugu Jingyue's daily schedule was filled with discussions with these two about various arrangements and formats, as well as shopping with a few of her close friends, searching for suitable food, opera troupes, and the like. Her days were filled with variety.

Dugu Jingyao was also happy to hear Si Jian's report. She just wanted to see what kind of surprise her sister would give her in the end. Dugu Jingyao smiled and said, "That's great. Let's see what tricks they can come up with! You can just ask someone to be responsible for protecting their safety. As for what they do specifically, there is no need to report it, otherwise there will be no surprise!" Si Jian smiled and said, "Yes, Princess."

A few days later, Li Chu and Li Ruo had already set out with their belongings and a group of guards. In order to make it easier for Li Ruo to dress up as a man, Li Chu calculated the time, stopped and walked along the way, and occasionally played. Finally, he arrived in Yunnan three days before Dugu Jingyao's birthday.

As soon as they arrived at the Yunnan border, someone came to pick them up. It was none other than Chu Xinghan. The reason for Chu Xinghan was naturally because they were relatives. Chu Xinghan's mother, Wei, was the Crown Princess's younger sister. Li Chu and Chu Xinghan were cousins.

Chu Xinghan finally waited for Li Chu and Li Ruo. Before Li Chu and his companions' carriage had even stopped, Chu Xinghan and two others rode up to greet them. After all, apart from Dugu Moyan, he had very few friends in Yunnan. Now that his cousin was here, he had someone he could hang out with!
