Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

"Then the woman has no choice but to run away."

Gui Yao smiled faintly, "This humble woman has a little compassion, but this compassion is insignificant in the face of my own life and death."

"All land under heaven belongs to the king."

The crown prince made a threat.

"I am not very talented, but I do have some skills in escaping. Besides, the world is not just about Dasheng."

Gui Yao appeared unconcerned, but inwardly he was trying to figure out what the Crown Prince was thinking.

The Crown Prince did not want to fall out with Gui Yao, not to mention Gui Yao's abilities, she also had Xiao Huaijin behind her.

Many people accompanied him on his outing today. These things cannot be hidden from the Emperor. If he dares to disregard the lives of the people, the Emperor can cripple him.

However, he was also worried that Gui Yao might have other motives and was unwilling to participate in making the vow.

"I've heard that Prince Jin cares a lot about you, the Prince of Shu has taken you as his sister, and Zhao Mingyue and her son are also very dependent on you."

They are still threatening.

Gui Yao suppressed her smile. "If Your Highness were to use them to blackmail the women, that would be a truly terrible idea."

After saying that, she turned and left.

The Crown Prince gave a wink to the Imperial Guards, who then stopped her.

Gui Yao narrowed her eyes, channeled her spiritual power, leaped up, landed on the shoulder of the Yilong Guard, and raised her hand to strike the Crown Prince's carriage with her spiritual power.

The carriage was torn to pieces, and dust flew everywhere.

The pristine and immaculate young master fell onto the muddy ground.

Gui Yao landed and sneered, "It seems I was being nosy. Those queuing up are all subjects of the royal family. They have been murdered and their lives are in danger. It should be Your Highness who is anxious."

"presumptuous!"

The Imperial Guards drew their swords, shouting, "How dare you disrespect His Highness!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Gui Yao caused the longswords in the hands of the Yilong Guards to fall from their grasp and stick into the ground behind them.

"Is Your Highness going to use force to coerce us?"

Gui Yao's face darkened, her eyes turning icy cold.

She originally thought that many people had been infected, and that checking and treating them one by one would be time-consuming and require a lot of spiritual energy.

The Crown Prince is the heir apparent of the country. If he leads the way in making a vow, the power of that vow will be immense, and she will be able to collect that power. This will give her a slight advantage and allow her to regain control of everyone's minds in one fell swoop.

Both sides benefit.

Unexpectedly, after the crown prince's first threat failed, he threatened her again, so she decided to reveal her true abilities.

When two sides are locked in a standoff, with a significant disparity in numbers and status, an absolute crushing victory is necessary to instill fear in the other side.

The crown prince was helped up, his face ashen. The filth covering his body made him tense. He hadn't expected Gui Yao to dare to lay a hand on him.

He agreed when Yilongwei drew his sword.

Gui Yao's origins are unknown, she is arrogant, and she is capable. If we don't take this opportunity to intimidate her, she might not take the royal family seriously.

But he didn't expect that his proud Yilong Guard wouldn't even have the right to make a move in front of Gui Yao.

"stop."

He called out to the Yilong Guard.

The Yilong Guards are no match for them; there's no point in taking further action.

"I need to investigate what you have to say before I can give you an answer."

The commotion alerted the people at the free clinic, and the guards from Prince Jin's residence immediately surrounded them. "Is Your Highness alright?"

It's actually quite obvious who's in trouble.

But they surrounded Gui Yao, watching the Yilong Guards warily.

Gui Yao shook her head. "I'm fine."

She looked at the Crown Prince and said, "It seems that compassion is not all good. I have changed my mind."

If the imperial court wanted to ask her to save people again, simply giving her the power of her vows would not be enough.

Xiao Huaijin arrived after receiving the news and heard this sentence. He immediately whispered something to the lamplighter.

He quickly ran to the free clinic and told the doctor from the prefecture, "The free clinic is temporarily closed."

The people, having witnessed the recovery of the previously ill patients, had finally regained hope and, upon hearing this, all asked what had happened.

The lantern bearer cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, saying, "The Crown Prince is benevolent towards the people. His personal presence today indicates that he will surely arrange your treatment in person. Please be patient."

On the other side, Xiao Huaijin first checked Gui Yao to make sure she was alright before walking up to the Crown Prince and bowing to him.

"My daughter Yaoyao is inexperienced in the ways of the world, and she cannot bear to see the people suffer. If there is anything inappropriate on her part, I apologize to Your Highness on her behalf."

The crown prince waved his hand, indicating that further words were pointless; he urgently needed to return to the palace to bathe and change.

But the carriage was in disarray, and he glanced at Xiao Huaijin's carriage.

Xiao Huaijin smiled and said, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, you may use mine first."

The crown prince disliked it.

But he had no choice.

Before leaving, he glanced at Gui Yao.

Gui Yaoyi looked at him, and a seven or eight-year-old child's back flashed in her mind. He lowered his head and wiped away his tears.

"Brother, don't be sad."

A chubby hand patted his back. "It's good to be clean."

"My mother said I have an illness."

The boy shook his head. "I am the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince not only sits high on the dragon throne, but also has to care about the people's plight and even lead by example."

But I don't want to touch anyone, I don't want people to talk in front of me. I feel like their breath is dirty. Pearl, I'm a monster.

"No, brother."

The chubby little hand wiped away the boy's tears. "Look, even your brother doesn't dislike Zhuzhu."

"You're my sister, how could I possibly dislike you?"

"Then don't be sad, brother. You still have Zhuzhu. From now on, Zhuzhu will do whatever you don't want to do..."

"Where is she?"

Xiao Huaijin's worried voice rang in my ears.

Gui Yao covered her eyes as the stinging pain returned, even more intense than before.

"The Imperial Physician."

Xiao Huaijin shouted and bent down to run towards the carriage.

The prince, who was about to step onto the carriage, was pushed off by him.

Just as the Crown Prince was about to fly into a rage, he saw Gui Yao covering her face with both hands, her hand, which had just been able to easily swat away the Yilong Guard's longsword, trembling uncontrollably.

He frowned, but ultimately said nothing.

After a moment's hesitation, he also got into the carriage. It would take quite a while for the Imperial Guards to drive over, and he couldn't wait.

He clenched his fists tightly, thinking, "Just a little longer, a little more patience will do."

But the next moment, the physician was also brought up with a sword.

In the cramped space, with several people all at once, the prince's body was as tense as a bowstring stretched to its limit, and he could not even breathe.

He had to get out of the carriage, but the carriage started moving the next moment, and he fell back into it without warning.

He accidentally bumped into Gui Yao, and he was on high alert, but strangely, he didn't feel the tension and panic that usually comes with touching a stranger.

The crown prince looked at Gui Yao with suspicion.

She continued to cover her face in pain, and Xiao Huaijin and the imperial physician were completely focused on her, paying no attention to the Crown Prince.

The prince opened the car window to take a breath of fresh air, and tentatively moved closer to Gui Yao, bumping his arm but feeling nothing.

I moved it again, touching an even larger area, but I still didn't feel any discomfort. In fact, the tension in my whole body began to relax.

The crown prince looked at Gui Yao in shock.

Since he could remember, only his sister had this effect on him. How could there be any other woman who could be as irresistible to him as his sister?

"What's wrong with her?"

Suppressing his shock, he asked.

During the last public interrogation of Cheng Le, Gui Yao also seemed to have eye pain, and at the time he thought she was deliberately avoiding him.

In hindsight, he had been overthinking things.

"Should I assign her a doctor specializing in eye diseases?"

My sister once said that one should be pragmatic and avoid making enemies of those one cannot afford to offend.

Gui Yao is exceptionally skilled. If he helps Nan Yao deal with Da Sheng because of this, then all the blood my sister shed on the battlefield will have been for nothing.

Xiao Huaijin, worried about the return of the treasure, said, "Thank you for your trouble."

He didn't mind owing the Crown Prince a favor, as long as it could alleviate Gui Yao's pain.

Gui Yao refused, "No need. Take me to Xuanji Tower, quickly."

Last time I thought the pain was caused by seeing the Crown Prince, but today it only started hurting after a long confrontation with him.

It is clear that the previous judgment was a misjudgment.

She suspected that someone had used evil magic on her eyes, but the Xuanji Tower could block all evil magic.

In the shadows of the deep mansion, a finger painted with bright red nail polish held a slender needle, forcefully piercing a pair of eyes contained in a box.

"I painstakingly collected the spiritual essence using the eyes of the precious pearl, but before I could even use it, someone dared to try and take it back."

The needle was pulled out, and a finger was gently stroked around the eyes. "Good boy, give the person who caused this pain ten or a hundred times over."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thin needle pierced his eye again, was pulled out, and then pierced again, in a continuous cycle.

Those eyes, however, were perfectly intact, without a single scratch.

The needles moved faster and faster, accompanied by a sinister laugh, which looked extremely eerie in the dark room.

Suddenly, the grotesque laughter turned into a scream.

The soft eyes seemed to be blocked by something, and the slender needle could no longer pierce through. Instead, a backlash pushed it through the entire finger, and blood flowed out, mingling with the bright red nail polish.

As soon as Gui Yao entered Xuanji Tower, the pain in her eyes disappeared.

Just as she had guessed.

But after she returned to the capital, she possessed spiritual power, and no one could get close to her or do anything to her eyes.

Unless, of course, her eyes were gouged out, but three years have passed, and her eyes should have rotted away long ago.

But then she thought of the Xuanji Bone, and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, regulated her breathing and focused her mind, circulating her spiritual power, trying to make her body and eyes sense each other.

Slowly, Gui Yao saw a pair of hands painted with bright red nail polish, fingers pierced by fine needles, blood gushing out. Above that was a black robe, and above that...
