Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

"Ono!"

As soon as Guiyao and the ghost entered the restaurant, they saw Aye helping to wipe the table.

When the ghost saw that her son had woken up, it ran over quickly and asked, "Ono, you're awake. Are you still in pain?"

Mother found some jewelry, gold and bright red gemstones, very pretty. We can exchange it for money to help Xiao Ye get married, hehe.

She circled around A-Ye, saying, "I also saw someone who looked like Xiao-Ye, but his eyes looked like a bad guy's, and he wasn't as good-looking as Xiao-Ye."

But could he be Ono's brother? Mother still can't remember what the person who harmed her looks like.

It's alright, the Bodhisattva girl Ono found is very powerful, she will help us..."

She talked on and on, but A-Ye couldn't hear her and was focused on wiping the table.

Gui Yao stepped forward, "Why are you doing things right after waking up?"

To help him recover quickly, the physician, Dr. Chen, specially added a calming agent to his medicine.

This was the first time he had woken up since his treatment.

Ah Ye chuckled, "I've heard about it all. The girl hired a doctor for me, fed me herbal medicine every day, and even bought me such nice clothes."

"Thank you so much, young lady. I feel at ease doing this, and it doesn't feel tiring at all."

His mother nodded in agreement, "Xiao Ye won't be happy if he gets the better deal. He can only grow up if he's happy."

"Don't worry, I won't help you for nothing. Once you're better, I'll ask you for payment."

Gui Yao smiled and said, "Let's go, I have something to tell you."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly snatched the rag from A-Ye's hand, "Your Highness, Brother A-Ye insists on making it, and this old servant can't refuse."

The official letter has arrived, and the people of Prince Jin's residence now directly address Gui Yao as Princess Consort.

"Yes, it's what I insisted on doing."

After saying that, A-Ye felt that he had been too presumptuous, so he added, "The shopkeeper was very kind to me; he let me rest."

After saying that, he still felt something was off, so he chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head.

However, the spirit of the dead heard that the shopkeeper was a good person, so he went up to him and thanked him repeatedly.

Gui Yao pulled her away.

Even if a deceased spirit has no ill intentions, if she gets close to someone, her yin energy will affect that person, causing them to fall ill or experience bad luck.

Gratitude will turn into hurt in the end.

Ah Ye was injured and walked slowly. Before he caught up, Gui Yao had already warned him about the dangers of the dead being close to people.

The spirit, still dazed, said, "When Ono was sick, it only got serious when I got close; she was fine otherwise."

Gui Yao explained, "When he's in good health, his yang energy is abundant, so it's not obvious."

But there's another reason: A-Ye is still a virgin.

Given that he had already lived a miserable life, how much worse could things get?

However, seeing the ghost pointing at its finger as if it had made a mistake, Gui Yao didn't say anything more.

The departed spirit, deeply attached to its son, retreated far away when A-ye came again.

Gui Yao inexplicably thought of the Empress.

The Empress may not have participated in killing her, but when she switched the princess's body, did she ever think about her future?

Three years have passed, and the news of her death is still unknown, indicating that the Empress has never visited her.

There's also the case of the fake princess faking her death on her way back to the capital. In that case, the real princess would have to live her whole life under the guise of being dead, unable to see the light of day.

Does the Empress know this, or does the Empress never intend to let her see the light of day again?

"girl."

A-Ye followed him into the house. "Did you find out anything, young lady?"

Gui Yao gathered her thoughts and took out the jewelry. "These were all stolen from your mother by the murderer, but your mother still can't remember anything else."

"Does the young lady mean my mother is here too?"

He glanced at the jewelry briefly before looking expectantly at Gui Yao.

Gui Yao glanced at the ghost in the distance, its head craning and gazing expectantly in their direction, and nodded. "She has always been by your side."

A-Ye hurriedly followed her gaze, but naturally couldn't see anything. His eyes reddened. "How is my mother?"

The spirit nodded frantically, "I'm fine, Ono, Mother is fine."

Thinking of her son's blindness, she begged to return home.

"Girl, tell him I'm fine, very fine, very fine. Don't let Ono be sad."

Gui Yao smiled and said, "She's fine, and she hopes you're fine too. Until you're fully recovered, you should rest. Your mother and I will take care of the matter of regaining your identity."

The maternal love she couldn't get, A-Ye has, which is good.

Gui Yao got up, intending to send the departed soul back to Xuanji Tower; she still needed to go to the Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

"girl."

A-Ye called out to her, "Could you let me see my mother?"

"Can."

Gui Yao agreed, "But your body is still weak right now. Humans and ghosts are different, and seeing each other will not do you any good. Wait until you are better."

It is not good for the living and the dead if the souls of the dead linger in the mortal world. When she enters the underworld, she can let them meet one last time.

The mother and son were overjoyed to hear that their meeting would be their last.

Gui Yao rested for a while at Xuanji Tower before heading to the Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

She was personally received by the Duke of Ningguo.

"As Your Highness instructed, Yaksha has been sleeping these past few days, only being fed some liquid food."

Gui Yao felt the little yaksha's pulse and began to exert her spiritual power. After a moment, she exhaled, "Although her fate has been taken back, it has still been affected."

In the future, she can learn some martial arts to improve her health, and she can also attend school to be immersed in righteousness.

"As Your Highness wishes."

The Duke of Ningguo nodded, "This old minister will personally teach her martial arts, but as for enrolling in school..."

There were no girls' schools in Dasheng.

Gui Yao smiled and said, "Given the Duke's current status and position, many academies should be willing to accept Little Yaksha."

But since she's the only one attending school, it's an isolated case, and she might feel uncomfortable. The Duke could send all the Du family's girls there.

If the Duke is truly worried about them going out, setting up a clan school for women wouldn't be too difficult for him.

Gui Yao stood up and looked at him, "Women can also be literate and reasonable, and make a difference."

The Duke of Ningguo was startled.

His Highness intends to elevate the status of women. He glanced at his granddaughter lying on the bed, pondered for a moment, and then cupped his hands, saying, "Your Highness is right. This old minister will begin work on the clan school matter tomorrow."

His little devil is no less capable than any boy. Now that the third son is gone, he has only this one left, so he should indeed nurture him well.

I don't expect her to achieve great things like a man in the future, but at least she should have her own abilities so that she won't be easily bullied by her husband's family.

At his age, how many more years can he truly protect her?

Gui Yao nodded, "The children from the Duke of Qi's mansion and the Zang family should also be there at that time."

The implication is that these two families are also his people.

The Duke of Ningguo understood, "I would naturally welcome my children having more friends to grow up with."

After discussing the clan school, the Duke of Ningguo asked, "Has Your Highness heard of the marriage alliance between the Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo's family?"

The emperor was wary of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion's growing power, so he allowed Zhang to keep the Zhenguo Duke's mansion in check. But now he suddenly bestowed a marriage upon the crown prince. Isn't this just encouraging the Zhang family's arrogance?

The Duke of Ningguo couldn't understand the emperor's actions, to the point that he even doubted whether the imperial edict was the emperor's true intention.

Gui Yao patted the little demon's head. "It's alright, don't worry about it."

The emperor's bestowal of a marriage was not to elevate the Duke of Zhenguo's family, but rather to bring them under control; therefore, there was no need for any precautions.

It's a different matter altogether.

"His Majesty may order you to bring the princess back to the capital, but some people don't want you to go and will find fault with you."

"Your Excellency, you must be even more cautious about the matter concerning Master Du."

The princesses were all fake, and the mastermind naturally wanted their own people to pick them up. So, the one chosen by the emperor became a thorn in their side. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness."

After finishing his business, Gui Yao returned to Xuanji Tower.

The evening breeze was refreshing. Gui Yao didn't use her light-footed skills as she strolled through the streets. When she arrived at the Zhenxiu Pavilion, someone called her name.

"Yaoyao".

Gui Yao looked up and met a beautiful face with a radiant smile.

Xiao Huaijin leaned halfway out from the second floor. "Fine wine and food, shall we?"

Gui Yao lightly touched the window with her toes, her smile radiant, "And the beauty, of course, will come."

Xiao Huaijin took her hand and led her into the house. "These are all your favorite dishes."

Gui Yao glanced at him and looked at the smiling Lantern Light. "You have your own restaurant, why are you spending money at other places? Aren't you going to do something about it?"

My heart felt inexplicably warm.

With a smile, he replied, "If Your Majesty feels sorry for the Princess's hard work, then it is not a waste."

"You have such a sweet tongue."

Gui Yao took out two silver ingots from his sleeve and tossed them to the lamplighter and the swordsman respectively.

"While I'm enjoying a romantic evening with the prince, you should go find something to eat."

The two thanked the princess for her gift and tactfully left the private room.
