Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

The next morning, Xiao Huaijin personally delivered breakfast to him.

Gui Yao had just woken up and hadn't gotten up yet when he pulled her up and put her clothes on her.

"Yaoyao, I found something new."

"What?"

Gui Yao squinted and obediently reached out to put on her clothes.

"Many people in the western part of the city started getting sick or experiencing personality changes three years ago."

After leaving Xuanji Tower last night, he returned to the west of the city.

Although Gui Yao didn't say it, he guessed that Gui Yao wanted to do good deeds to strengthen herself.

Therefore, he planned to scout ahead and see which families needed help.

Originally intended to pave the way for Guiyao, I didn't expect to make this discovery after staying at some people's homes.

"I found it strange, so I had the guards ask them privately and found that they had something in common."

Three years ago, when Princess Baozhu left the capital for Nanyao, many powerful and wealthy people donated incense money to Ciyun Temple to celebrate the friendly relations between the two countries, and Ciyun Temple distributed porridge to them.

Currently, those who are sick or have undergone personality changes are receiving porridge from Ciyun Temple.

However, many people who ate the porridge were fine, such as the girl from the family holding the funeral; she ate what her mother brought back, so it shouldn't have been from the same pot of porridge.

Gui Yao's expression gradually became serious.

"So the problem might be with the porridge, but not all porridge has a problem."

"right."

Xiao Huaijin nodded. "I inquired and found that the almsgiving lasted for half a month. Except for the first day when there were ten pots of porridge, there were seven pots of porridge every day. To avoid overcrowding, the temple allowed each person to eat one bowl and take one bowl away."

Gui Yao got out of bed and said, "As far as I know, when the country is celebrating a happy occasion, high-ranking officials and nobles usually set up tents to distribute porridge."

Why is it that Ciyun Temple is distributing the donations in unison this time? Do you know whose idea this was?"

Xiao Huaijin looked at Gui Yao, "Princess Baozhu, this was her suggestion before leaving the capital, and it was also the incense money she spearheaded the donation for."

Gui Yao recalled the comments she overheard outside the Yang family's gate when the Yang family was in trouble.

They said that every time she won a battle, she would benefit the people, so having the temple distribute porridge was in line with her style.

"If that's the case, then it'll be difficult to investigate."

Not to mention that three years have passed, a total of 108 pots of porridge were made over a period of half a month, during which many people must have participated.

Moreover, the people who caused the disturbance may not have been the ones who participated in distributing the porridge. It would be too easy for them to tamper with a few pots of porridge at Ciyun Temple.

"Your Highness, there's no need to investigate Ciyun Temple any further, lest we alert the enemy."

Xiao Huaijin nodded. "Okay."

After having breakfast, the two went to the pharmacy in the west of the city that they had visited the day before.

A long queue had already formed outside the shop.

"Doctor, you've arrived."

As soon as she sat down, the patient who had received number one yesterday sat down in front of her and placed his hands on the table.

"Doctor, please take a look at me. I often feel inexplicably weak, have aches and pains all over my body, and have lost all my hair. I have been seeing doctors for many years, but I have not gotten better."

But I'm the head of the household; my wife and children depend on me to support them. Please, save me too.

He spoke at length, his tone urgent.

Gui Yao checked the pulse and frowned slightly, indicating that this person's vital essence and blood were exhausted and his foundation was declining.

"Have you ever lingered over women?"

Upon hearing this, the man suddenly turned hostile, "You, you're a quack doctor too."

He stood up, his face flushed, "I used to be a dockworker carrying heavy loads. I earned my money through hard work, how could I possibly spend it on that kind of thing? I only have one wife, but you all insist that I'm womanizing..."

As he spoke, his eyes reddened. "My wife listened to what you doctors said and concluded that I had been messing around outside, which is why I hurt myself."

They've been arguing with me every day for years, almost tearing our family apart. They say you're amazing, and I thought you really were capable. I was so happy I didn't sleep all night and came over early..."

As a result, this quack doctor was just like the other doctors.

"A doctor needs to understand the situation before taking a pulse in order to rule out possibilities."

Gui Yao calmly replied, "I didn't say you were drained by women."

"You mean you've figured out the real cause of my illness?"

Hope gleamed in the man's eyes.

How long have you been sick?

Three years.

The man tremblingly held up three fingers, "I was wrongly accused for three whole years."

His wife treated him coldly, and his children misunderstood and hated him.

Gui Yao gestured for him to sit down. "Let me take another look."

If Xiao Huaijin hadn't discovered it in advance, she might have misdiagnosed the man as having been drained of his body by women.

But now, she used her spiritual power to probe his pulse and discovered that the pulse in the man's heart was empty and without roots.

The mind is the master of the spirits of the five internal organs; if the mind is not at peace, the five internal organs will be in turmoil.

But this diagnosis couldn't be easily spread, so she changed her approach, saying, "You're being possessed by something unclean. I know some Taoist medical techniques; would you like me to treat you?"

"want."

The man nodded without hesitation. Rather than being harmed by women, he preferred to accept this explanation. "I'll say I didn't do anything inappropriate and ask the doctor to treat me."

He gazed longingly at Gui Yao.

Gui Yao casually drew a talisman, infused it with a wisp of spiritual power, and handed it to the guard. "Once the medicine is ready, burn the talisman to ashes and put it in the medicine so he can take it together."

The spiritual power restored his mind, and the medicine replenished his qi and blood; it would take effect once he drank it.

As soon as the man left, a couple helped an elderly woman forward.

Gui Yao was slightly taken aback. This old woman was the blind old lady who had blown off the roof the night she was poisoned by the bacteria.

When her son and daughter-in-law heard about the free clinic, they wanted to bring her to see a doctor for her eye condition.

The old woman's eyes were also affected by the theft of her spirit, but her spirit loss was less severe than that of the man just now.

Gui Yao pursed her lips, had the guards fetch the medicine, and then, under the pretext of explaining how to brew it, she spared a wisp of spiritual energy to infuse the herbs.

Gui Yao came to the free clinic to enhance her spiritual power, but ended up using up quite a bit of it first, which made her feel a little heartbroken.

Fortunately, the latter few cases were not related to mental illness; they were all due to poverty and lack of money for treatment, causing minor illnesses to develop into major ones.

But when it came to the seventh person, their mind was stolen again.

She was a young married woman, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she whispered, "Doctor, every time I get pregnant, I miscarry before three months are up."

In three years, I've had five miscarriages. My mother-in-law has threatened that if I can't give birth to a child soon, she'll send me back to my parents' home. Please help me.

Gui Yao took her pulse, frowned, and said, "After a miscarriage, one should rest for half a year, or at least three months, for the body to recover."

Pregnant five times in three years is too harmful to the body.

The young wife lowered her head. "My husband is the only son in three generations, and he urgently needs to continue the family line. My parents have passed away, and now my sister-in-law is in charge of the household. She will not allow me to return home."

I had no choice but to obey my mother-in-law and husband and give birth to the child on time…

Gui Yao sighed, withdrew her hand, and said, "Call your husband."

The young wife hesitated for a moment, "Is there something wrong with my husband too?"

My husband is very concerned about his reputation, and he will never admit that it is his fault.

Gui Yao looked at her and said, "If he comes, I can cure him; otherwise, he will divorce his wife and remarry, and he will have little chance of having children in this life."

The woman's miscarriage was caused by a loss of mental energy, but her frequent pregnancies showed that the man did not cherish her body.

Even though she helped her regain her composure, her health was ruined, and she would have difficulty conceiving again.

Hearing this, the husband's family was a little frightened and came with the young wife. They were about to start arguing and making excuses.

Gui Yao's face darkened, and she grabbed the man's wrist. "You reap what you sow. Inferior seeds cannot take root and sprout; instead, they will harm her body. Will you treat her or not?"

The mother and son were intimidated by her imposing manner, and were also unsure if it was their own problem, so they nodded.

Gui Yao wrote down a prescription and asked the mother and child to go with the guards to get the medicine.

He left the young woman behind and sent a wisp of spiritual energy into her body, saying, "Only when a person can stand on their own two feet can others help them."

The young woman immediately felt much better and realized that Gui Yao had done it for her sake. She deliberately shifted the blame to her husband, bowed to Gui Yao, and said, "Thank you, doctor. I will remember your words."

She will never let a man touch her again until she is fully recovered.

Gui Yao has been wandering the world for three years and knows the hardships of people at the bottom of society, so he said no more.

They moved on to the next patient, but around noon, Mao Dan arrived.

"Master, Lady Zang's family members are causing trouble at the Zang residence again."
