Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

Gui Yao stared wide-eyed at the person in front of her.

Prince?

Why is he here?

He hadn’t even noticed that his kung fu had become so good.

Gui Yao had many questions in her mind, but Xiao Huaijin covered her mouth.

The dim light from the horn-shaped lamps in the corridor illuminated the helplessness on Xiao Huaijin's face. He asked silently and slowly, "Don't look at what's improper. Shall we talk about it somewhere else?"

Gui Yao, being a woman of principle, nodded.

Even if she was curious, she was too embarrassed to watch other couples having sex with the prince.

Xiao Huaijin put his long arm around Gui Yao's waist and led her out of the Ningguo Duke's mansion.

When they reached a secluded spot, Gui Yao asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.

Xiao Huaijin answered one by one, "I slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night, so I came to find you."

He spent the entire day at Xuanji Tower, only returning to the Prince's Mansion in the evening due to other business.

He also knew about Du Lingxi's visit and guessed that Gui Yao would go to the Ningguo Duke's mansion that night.

But little did they know that Gui Yao was watching live sex shows again.

As for the second question, Xiao Huaijin coughed lightly, pressing his fist to his lips, "After being intimate with you, my kung fu improved a bit faster."

After Gui Yao gave him the antidote for the first time, he found that his kung fu had improved, but he thought it was just a coincidence at the time.

It wasn't until the second time that he was certain that Guiyao could help him improve his cultivation.

He was already quite skilled in martial arts, and now he was even better, which made it easier for him to accompany her on her nighttime journeys.

"Is that so?"

Gui Yao clicked her tongue twice, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

She saw that the prince was surrounded by golden light. Last time, she had wanted to use him to strengthen herself, but she didn't expect that her spiritual power would not increase, but instead the prince would become stronger.

But at least it was someone I chose, so it's not a complete loss.

He then pinched the prince's cheek and said, "Mao Dan is right. I really am a lucky star."

Xiao Huaijin chuckled softly; he enjoyed hearing her praise him.

"Yaoyao, I want to void the previous three-year agreement."

Gui Yao paused in her grip on his hand. "Why?"

"In a few days, Nan Yao's official letter proposing marriage to you should arrive."

Xiao Huaijin pulled her closer with his long arm, his posture intimate. "It was wrong of me not to tell you beforehand, but I want to make this a real relationship and have you be my real wife."

Gui Yao wasn't too surprised by this.

She's so wonderful, it's only a matter of time before the prince wants to marry her. Besides, they're destined to be together.

just.

"You've already guessed who I am, haven't you?"

Xiao Huaijin nodded, "I've also written a letter to Nan Yao regarding the fake princess, asking Father and Mother to keep an eye on it."

As Prince Nan Yao, it was only natural that he would consider the interests of his country. This was something Gui Yao had expected and was entirely reasonable.

But that's not what Gui Yao was talking about.

What she wanted to say was, "I probably won't marry someone from outside the country, and I won't leave Dasheng for at least the next few years."

But Xiao Huaijin's home is in Nanyao, and he misses his family. His family will not allow him to stay in Dasheng for long.

"I see."

Xiao Huaijin smiled, "I have also told my father and mother that I will continue to stay in Dasheng."

"Hasn't Dasheng always wanted a marriage alliance? If I marry you, it's a marriage alliance, and you'll remain in Dasheng as a hostage. Dasheng officials are more than happy to accept this."

Unless, of course, they develop ambitions and want to turn against Nan Yao.

However, the one who truly excelled in warfare and expanded the territory of the Great Sheng Dynasty was Yao Yao. In order not to expose this secret, the emperor and his son would not easily start a war.

Yao Yao would not easily start a war, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to propose friendly relations between the two countries in the first place.

Both publicly and privately, their union is the best.

"Your Highness has considered everything so thoroughly. It seems I am truly good, and Your Highness truly likes me."

Gui Yao tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "Perfect, I'm happy to be with Your Highness for a long time."

Once she's done with her business, she'll accompany him back to Nanyao to visit his family. As for whether she'll stay in Dasheng, Nanyao, or wander the world afterward, we'll see.

Xiao Huaijin was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected happiness to come so quickly. Had Yaoyao just confessed her feelings to him?

Yes.

He reassured himself, his dimples deepening with a smile, "Yaoyao, do you believe it? I have a gut feeling that our destiny is ordained by God."

Gui Yao glanced at the red aura entwined on their wrists and smiled slyly, "Your Highness's intuition is truly accurate."

However, "Your Highness, I have to go back and keep watch."

Couples are most likely to have intimate conversations during sex, so this time shouldn't be missed.

How could Xiao Huaijin let her leave? "Yaoyao, the couple is already estranged. Even if they say something, it's just out of spite."

There won't be any useful information.

He didn't want Gui Yao to see other men either. After seeing Zang Lan last time, she said that Zang Lan was better than him.

The prince had his own thoughts. "I didn't sleep last night, and now I'm a bit sleepy again. Shall we go back to Xuanji Tower to rest for a while, and go again at dawn?"

At dawn, Du Shao should go to court.

Gui Yao thought for a moment, then said, "Alright."

She was exhausted after watching all night.

Mao Dan, who was secretly following Xiao Huaijin, watched the two leave hand in hand and pecked at the ground with its sharp beak in a hurry.

Is he going to keep an eye on the Ningguo Duke's mansion for his master?

Or should we continue to follow Xiao Huaijin, lest he use sweet words to coax his master into being taken advantage of?

The sooner the abnormality of the Du family is detected, the sooner the master can obtain the power of will.

But Xiao Huaijin came to find his master in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, showing his wolfish ambition.

A fierce internal struggle was raging within its little brain, its eyes darting around so much they were practically steaming, and it was so conflicted it was as if it were about to twist itself into a pretzel.

The two men in front exchanged a glance. Gui Yao smiled slyly and asked, "Your Highness, shall we sleep together tonight?"

Xiao Huaijin lowered his body to cooperate and rested his head on Gui Yao's shoulder. "Alright, you can do whatever you want, Miss. I'll do whatever you say."

Mao Dan's hesitation vanished instantly. He spread his wings and caught up with the two. "No way."

Gui Yao grinned, raised his hand to pat the head resting on his shoulder, "There are no extra guest rooms on the second floor. It wouldn't be right to have the prince sleep next to Qingqing on the first floor."

Xiao Huaijin shook his head, nuzzling his large head against Gui Yao's neck, "No."

Mao Dan couldn't stand it anymore and flew up to peck his head. Xiao Huaijin grabbed Gui Yao and ran away, saying, "Girl, Mao Dan is bullying me."

That tone was exactly like the way Mao Dan complained before.

I'm so annoyed by the balut.

This man not only stole its master, but now he's even mimicking its speech. It hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Have some self-respect! Your Highness, have some self-respect! What are you doing, you giant, pretending to be a delicate little husband? Let go of my master..."

"Girl, it's even insulting me."

Xiao Huaijin smiled with deep dimples, his tone full of grievance, and he left with Gui Yao at an increasingly faster pace.

Gui Yao let him lead the way, listening to the bickering between the person and the bird that she cared about, their laughter startling crows perched on the eaves.

Mao Dan couldn't catch up with him, and he couldn't win the argument, so in the end he could only try to persuade him with heartfelt words.

"Master, be reserved, be reserved..."

The two people and the bird returned to Xuanji Tower in a lively atmosphere.

In the shadows of Xuanji Tower, a gray-haired figure watched this scene from afar, his eyes stinging with tears. He stood there for a long time before finally saying in a hoarse voice, "Let's go back."

Gui Yao was unaware of what was happening outside. After washing up and returning to her room, she found that Mao Dan had already taken up the middle spot on the bed.

"Hmph, Mao Dan is sleeping with us tonight too."

Having already washed up and lay down on one side of the bed, Xiao Huaijin deliberately startled it.

"I'm a restless sleeper. If I roll over and flatten you, I'll be able to stew you like a bird tomorrow morning."

Mao Dan wasn't afraid at all. It looked at Gui Yao with a pitiful expression and said, "Master, if you don't agree, Mao Dan will throw a tantrum."

Gui Yao had only decided to tease it because he saw it was conflicted and wanted it to come back and rest with him.

After it's had enough of its fussing, I can't bear to see it suffer. "Okay, Maodan, we'll sleep together."

Mao Dan gave Xiao Huaijin a triumphant smile, and the two of them and the bird happily drifted off to sleep.

As dawn broke, Xiao Huaijin opened his eyes, intending to get up and go to the Ningguo Duke's Mansion. Just as he got out of bed, Gui Yao also got up.

The two went downstairs to wash up and then went to the Ningguo Duke's Mansion together.

Du Shao dressed himself neatly, kissed his wife on the forehead, and said, "Ah Shan, I'm going to court. You can sleep a little longer."

This has been his habit for over a decade of marriage; he always kisses her like this before leaving, giving her his final words of advice.

If it were the old Madam Du, she would have already gotten up, gently tidied his clothes, and then seen him out.

Now, her eyes were still closed, as if she were in a deep sleep.

But after Du Shao left, he summoned a dark-skinned man dressed in a brown short-sleeved shirt.

Judging from his clothes, he should be the lowest-ranking male servant in the household.

Without any further words, the room was soon filled with a man's heavy breathing and a woman's cries.

Du Shao pretended to go out, but hid by the window with his fists clenched tightly.
