Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 281 Her Letter

In the distant city of Chang'an, sunlight shone on the ancient streets and towering palaces, as if covering this prosperous city with a golden veil. Today, Li Chu happened to be at home on leave, but he was still reading some books on political affairs in his study.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. It turned out to be Feng Shengyi rushing in. In his hand, he tightly grasped a letter from afar, which was sent by Dugu Jingyao. Feng Shengyi trotted all the way to the door of Li Chu's study, took a short breath, raised his hand and gently knocked on the door a few times.

"Knock, knock, knock..." Following several crisp knocks on the door, Li Chu's deep and magnetic voice soon rang out from the room: "Come in!"

Hearing the permission to enter, Feng Shengyi carefully pushed open the study door and then gently closed it. He walked lightly to the desk, bowed respectfully to Li Chu, and then held a small and exquisite bamboo tube in his hands. He presented it to Li Chu and said, "Your Highness, there is a letter from Yunnan."

Li Chu was originally pressing his temple with his right hand to relieve fatigue. Upon hearing this, he suddenly stopped, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry and bring it here!"

Feng Shengyi did not dare to delay and hurriedly stepped forward according to Li Chu's instructions, placed the small bamboo tube steadily on the desk, and then silently stepped back a few steps.

However, Li Chu noticed that Feng Shengyi didn't turn around and leave the study after he stopped, but stood there quietly. He couldn't help but frown slightly and asked with a hint of confusion: "What? Is there anything else?"

Feng Shengyi bowed and said, "According to Princess Yi'an's idea, we obtained the so-called love poison and used it on the two men in black we captured. It really worked. Although they put up a strong resistance in the early stages, the two women eventually got some information out of them."

Li Chu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did they provide any useful clues?"

Feng Shengyi nodded and said, "Although they don't know the specific person behind this, they only know that it's a woman, and that their boss usually goes to meet with her. Their boss usually goes to a dilapidated temple outside the city on the fifth day of every month to meet with the person behind this."

Li Chu smiled slightly and said, "Very good, but there's no rush now. Let's just pretend nothing happened and discuss it later when they make their next move."

Feng Shengyi agreed and quietly retreated.

Li Chu opened the small bamboo tube and poured out the letter inside. He opened it and read it, only seeing a few words: We have arrived safely in Yunnan, don't worry.

Although it was only a few short words, Li Chu's heart finally settled down. After reading it, he put the letter in a small wooden box. There were several other letters in it, all sent to him by Dugu Jingyao. They mainly said that his wound had healed and some of his experiences on the road.

This time, Li Chu knew that Dugu Jingyao had returned to Yunnan, so he could send a letter back to Dugu Jingyao. So he picked up his pen and wrote a letter. At the end, he put the letter in an envelope, sealed it with wax, and wrote "From Dugu Jingyao".

Then he called Feng Shengyi in. Feng Shengyi quickly entered the study upon hearing the news and asked, "What are your instructions, Your Highness?"

Li Chu said, "Go and send this letter to Yunnan."

Feng Shengyi agreed, walked forward, picked up the envelope from the table, and walked out. He knew that his prince had been eager to write back to Princess Yi'an, so he went to send the letter directly.

Li Chu in the study felt full of energy and continued to handle government affairs.

On the other side, in the Palace of Prince of Yunnan, Dugu Jingyao returned to her room and asked Shi Jian to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. She planned to write down what Dugu Xin had just said to her and send it to Li Chu for reference.

In just a quarter of an hour, he finished writing the letter and asked Shi Jian to send it out.

Then she thought, since she had taken on the task of preparing for her cousin's adoption, she would have to get busy, so she said to Si Jian, "Si Jian, go call the steward."

Upon hearing this, Si Jian went there immediately and someone arrived in a moment.

The steward bowed to Dugu Jingyao and said, "Greetings to the Grand Princess. May I know what the Grand Princess wants from me?"

Dugu Jingyao, who was sitting at the head of the table, called out first, then asked, "Daddy said that a ceremony will be held in ten days to adopt my cousin. I wonder what the procedures are and what preparations are needed? Last time Yue'er was adopted, I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't take care of it."

The steward naturally understood, so he said, "Princess, in fact, adopting an heir to the clan is not an overly complicated process. We have already chosen the candidate and the date. On the chosen day, we will invite the elders of the clan to witness, open the ancestral hall, hold the adoption ceremony, and then transfer the name of the young master from the second wife to the princess's name. Finally, we will set up a few tables for banquets, and it will be completed."

Dugu Jingyao didn't expect it to be so simple, so she asked, "Do we need to prepare anything?"

The steward thought for a moment and said, "Elder, the prince has already invited us, so we just need to prepare the incense table and the banquet, nothing else."

Dugu Jingyao nodded to indicate that she understood, and then said, "When the time comes, please make a list of the things you need to prepare for me, and let me see the price comparisons you have made."

The steward wondered why the eldest princess, who had never cared about this matter before, was so concerned this time. However, as a servant, he had to do whatever his master said, so he agreed and left.

Dugu Jingyao thought that since there was nothing else to do, she should go look for Shen Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi. Otherwise, it would be bad to bring them here and not accompany them. So she took Si Jian and Shi Jian, who had just returned, and went to Anranju first.
