Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

Chapter 208 The Prince's Abilities

Zhao Mingyue was asleep in the middle of the night when suddenly someone appeared in front of her bed, startling her so much that she almost screamed.

Gui Yao quickly covered her mouth, "It's me, Gui Yao."

The familiar voice made Zhao Mingyue breathe a sigh of relief. She nodded, signaling Gui Yao to let her go.

Gui Yao moved her hand away and sat down in front of her bed. "I need you to find a way to get Chai Shiyue's husband to leave the capital temporarily."

"it is good."

Zhao Mingyue agreed without hesitation.

After a moment of realization, Ying said, "Shiyue just lost her mother, and transferring her husband away might make her feel even worse."

"There must be a compelling reason for leaving."

This way, it would be less likely to arouse suspicion from the Duke of Zhenguo.

"Has something happened?"

Zhao Mingyue felt a pang of worry. "And what about her brother?"

During the day, she was also at the cemetery, and she was truly puzzled by what she saw.

Gui Yao whispered in her ear the true relationship between Zhang Ming and Chai Shiyue.

"Oh my god!"

Zhao Mingyue covered her mouth, biting her tongue in shock, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.

"How could this be?"

No wonder the wet nurse committed suicide, no wonder she left a letter saying there was no need to investigate the cause of her death.

"What about Shiyue?"

Once her true identity is revealed, she will be rejected by the world, and her children will be criticized as well. Even her husband's family may have a negative opinion of her.

Zhao Mingyue panicked immediately and looked to Gui Yao for help.

Therefore, she cannot know the truth, nor can outsiders.

Gui Yao said, "I suspect that the Duke of Zhenguo wants to use Shiyue to use evil magic against me. For her life and my life, I have to take her to Xuanji Tower."

But they couldn't alert the Duke of Zhenguo, so someone disguised as Shiyue would stay at her husband's house.

The fewer people who know about this, the better, even her husband.

However, if the couple is too close, it will be easy to spot the deception, and they will inevitably engage in some intimate behavior, which is not good for the person impersonating her, so he must be transferred away.

"Okay, I'll think of something."

Zhao Mingyue's heart pounded. "I absolutely cannot let Shiyue know that I failed to protect the wet nurse, and I cannot fail to protect Shiyue as well."

Gui Yao saw that her hands were trembling with panic, so she grabbed her hand and said, "Don't panic, I brought people with me. Tell us in detail about Chai Shiyue, including the people around her."

Zhao Mingyue responded without hesitation. Gui Yao knocked on the bed frame, and after a few knocks, a woman of similar build to Chai Shiyue entered the room.

She is A-Xiang, a female bodyguard from Prince Jin's mansion, who is skilled in disguise.

Before dawn, Gui Yao led A Xiang into Chai Shiyue's husband's house, took the sleeping Chai Shiyue away, and A Xiang lay down in her place.

Everything was done quietly.

Chai Shiyue woke up as soon as she arrived at Xuanji Tower. "Princess?"

She glanced around and realized she was in Xuanji Tower. "How did I get here?"

"Your brother attempted to assassinate the Duke of Zhenguo, and is now being hunted down throughout the city by the Duke of Zhenguo."

Gui Yao remained calm. "Mingyue was worried that you would be implicated, so she asked me to bring you to Xuanji Tower for temporary refuge."

Chai Shiyue's face immediately showed anxiety. "Is my brother alright? Is he injured?"

"He was familiar with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and managed to escape in time without injury. However, he still needs to stay out of the way for now."

"That's good."

Chai Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart immediately tightened again. "If I hide, will the Duke of Zhenguo take his anger out on Miss, and my husband's family?"

Gui Yao smiled, for Mingyue's sincere devotion to her was not in vain.

"Don't worry, Mingyue will arrange for your husband to be transferred out of the capital."

She smiled calmly, "You can't blackmail Zhang Ming with your husband's family, so it's not very meaningful for the Duke of Zhenguo to arrest him."

As for Mingyue, she is the future Princess Consort of Shu County, and the Duke of Zhenguo would not dare to act recklessly. You should stay here in peace so that Mingyue will not have to worry.

Chai Shiyue thought about how much the Prince of Shu cared about Zhao Mingyue, and knew he would definitely protect her.

She also thought that she and her brother had not officially acknowledged each other, and while her brother might care about his sister's life or death, he had no feelings for his husband's family.

She knew she couldn't blackmail him, so she nodded. If she refused Gui Yao's kindness again, she would be ungrateful.

"Thank you, Princess."

Gui Yao nodded.

This is the first time Xuanji Tower has lied since it started taking orders, and this lie must continue to be told to Chai Shiyue.

Lying diminishes one's merit; Gui Yao feels sorry for him.

But in order not to give herself away, she specifically went to Qingqing and Chen Can and asked them not to mention anything about Xuanji Tower in front of Chai Shiyue.

They changed the formation in front of the building to prevent the two from accidentally letting Chai Shiyue out.

With everything arranged, Gui Yao's ankle bell rang, indicating that she had changed the formation, preventing Xiao Huaijin and Mao Dan from returning home.

Gui Yao went to the door, and sure enough, it was them.

"Master, Da Shan just sent another letter to the village, specifically requesting that Fairy Wen come to the capital, but he said it would take four or five days for the carrier pigeon to reach the village."

"Even if Fairy Wen rode a thousand-mile horse day and night, it would still take her about ten days to reach the destination after receiving the letter."

Just now, after Gui Yao went to find Zhao Mingyue, Xiao Huaijin and Mao Dan went to find Dashan and asked him to write a letter to the village again.

The previous letter only mentioned finding Zhu Zhu, but it might not be convenient for Fairy Wen, who had a child, to come to the capital.

But now, Gui Yao felt that Wen Xianzi should know that Zhang Ming was in trouble.

Gui Yao frowned. "I'll give it a try."

Now that she has guessed Zhenguo Gong's conspiracy, she worries that he won't have the patience to wait that long.

If Zhang Ming wants to live, the only option is to remove his emotional ties and make him forget his past, but this requires the consent of his wife.

Mao Dan also felt it was too slow and hurriedly asked, "What should Master do?"

"The soul leaves the body, is not hindered by mountains and roads, and can float in the void and travel thousands of miles at night."

The message was relayed to Fairy Wen.

"That would consume so much spiritual energy."

Mao Dan said worriedly, "Your soul hasn't been fully repaired yet, this deal is probably going to be another loss."

But it couldn't say anything to stop it. Fairy Wen was its master's teacher, and it couldn't just watch its master lose her husband.

Gui Yao also felt sorry for the loss of spiritual power, so she decided to consider it an act of merit.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Huaijin said, "I'll do it."

"you?"

Both the man and the bird looked at him simultaneously. The little bird asked, "How did you get here?"

Xiao Huaijin laughed, "I was born with a shallow soul and an unstable body. I can see things that ordinary people cannot see, and my soul often wanders after falling asleep, which is why I am often sick."

Later, the Imperial Preceptor sealed my soul within my body, but many years have passed, and the seal began to weaken last year, and it completely dissipated some time ago.

"So now you..."

Gui Yao's eyes were filled with anxiety, mixed with a hint of annoyance. She had neglected Mao Dan and hadn't cared enough about the prince.

"The Imperial Advisor once predicted that if there is no turning point, I will not live past thirty."

When they first met, he instinctively felt that Guiyao was his turning point. "Thanks to Yaoyao, I can now control my soul."

Although he didn't know why, he knew his feeling was right, and Guiyao was his turning point.

He still inexplicably enters other people's dreams, or his soul wanders outside, but unlike when he was a child, he no longer needs the imperial advisor to find his soul before it returns to his body.

Now he can return on his own and control his soul so it doesn't leave.

"Brother-in-law, why didn't you say so sooner?"

Mao Dan was also very worried.

Xiao Huaijin laughed, "I'm afraid you'll think I'm short-lived."

At first, I wasn't interested and felt there was no need for Gui Yao to know. But after I fell for her, I was afraid she would worry and didn't dare to let her know.

Gui Yao has too many things to worry about.

I don't mind.

Gui Yao hugged him with a sense of guilt.

Xiao Huaijin smiled, "Then you should treat me even better in the future. Right now, let's send a message to Fairy Wen."

He had just arrived in the mountains when he learned about the bandit village and the appearance of Fairy Wen.

Upon reaching his bedroom on the second floor, Xiao Huaijin lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

Thousands of miles away, in a room decorated like a fairy palace, the beautiful Fairy Wen was sleeping soundly, embracing a fair and tender glutinous rice ball.

Suddenly, she began to dream. In her dream, a man dressed in red brocade, with a face like an immortal and skin like white jade, appeared and bowed to her.

Fairy Wen curled her lips and murmured in her sleep, "With that deadbeat not home, I've started dreaming about handsome men."

He added, "Luckily, the deadbeat isn't home, so I can feast my eyes and watch without worry."

She stared at the handsome man, looking him up and down, but the next moment the handsome man spoke, "I am Zhu Zhu's fiancé. I was asked by her to deliver a message to Seventh Master. Seventh Master Zhang Ming is in a life-or-death situation in the capital. I hope Seventh Master will come quickly."

"What?"

Fairy Wen woke up immediately.

Looking at her daughter sleeping soundly in her arms, she couldn't fall asleep at all.

That damned man did indeed go to the capital. Zhu Zhu is my disciple's name. I can't shake the feeling of unease no matter how I think about it.

She wrapped her daughter in a thin blanket, went out, and knocked on the gate of the neighbor's house.

A moment later, a woman with a striking, heroic appearance opened the door. "Xian'er, were you dreaming?"

Fairy Wen exclaimed in surprise, "The village chief was dreaming too?"

The spirited woman, Lin Xuanling, who was also Gui Yao's master, took the child from her arms.

He nodded. "I dreamt of a man who claimed to be Zhu Zhu's fiancé. He said that your husband, Lao Zhang, was in trouble and that you should go to the capital immediately."

"You dreamed about it too, so it must be true."

Fairy Wen felt increasingly uneasy. "Village Chief, please take care of Xiao Bao for me. I have to rush to the capital."

Since it concerns a dead ghost, whether it's real or not, she has to go.

Lin Xuanling nodded, "Let Doctor Bai, Granny Mei, Yunxiao, and Ruan Ningxiao accompany you."

The others, unable to travel to Beijing, will remain in the village to provide support.

"The village chief made a good arrangement: one to treat injuries, one skilled in disguise and bone shrinking, one with top-notch martial arts skills, and one who knows charm magic."

A nonchalant voice rang out, "But I think I have to go too."

"If we encounter any troublesome ones, I can even dig a tunnel for you and take you out of the capital, can't I?"

The newcomer was dressed in a brown short-sleeved shirt; he was none other than Master Wu, the one who taught Guiyao how to dig graves and rob tombs, known as the Mountain Piercer.

Fairy Wen hurriedly asked, "You were dreaming too?"

The mountain-climbing guest laughed, "I was dreaming. My daughter has good taste. My son-in-law is pleasing to the eye."

"Then I'll trouble Brother Chuanshan to accompany me."

Lin Xuanling had no intention of letting the mountain-climbing man go, because he loved tomb raiding, and she was afraid that if he went, the ancestral graves of high-ranking officials, nobles, and even royalty would suffer.

But Fairy Wen had already invited others to accompany her, and she did not want Fairy to remain a widow, so she warned the mountain-crossing traveler with a stern expression.

"You can go, but once you get to the capital, you mustn't dig up graves and cause trouble for everyone."

"Okay, I promise I won't dig it up on my own."

The mountain hiker's face beamed with joy.

With her apprentice around, she has plenty of ways to turn the tables and take the initiative.

As they were talking, the others came over as well; they had all had the same dream.

Dressed in a red gauze robe, the eleventh master, Ruan Ningxiao, covered her face with a round fan, her watery eyes blinking.

"She actually gave all eleven masters a dream. Our Zhu Zhu is skilled at managing her husband. Our little son-in-law is quite busy."

She whistled, and a bright red horse galloped up in front of her. She leaped onto the horse and said, "Let's go, let's rescue Old Zhang, and also go see our Zhu Zhu and her young son-in-law."

The others then blew their whistles to summon their horses.

Fairy Wen kissed her daughter's forehead, held Lin Xuanling's hand, and called her by her old name, "Sister Ling, if anything happens to me, Xiaobao will be your daughter..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Lin Xuanling shot a sharp glare at Wen Xianzi, silencing her.

She took out a jade pendant from her bosom and whispered, "If you really can't get away, take this jade pendant and find the one on the dragon throne. He will protect you."
