Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

The doctors arrived quickly, and there was more than one of them; their diagnoses and diagnoses were exactly the same.

The claim that he was framed is thus refuted.

Unless Zhao Xing'er says the child is hers with someone else, it's clear she's not out of her mind.

Having been expelled from the Zhao family, her only option now is to hold onto Tong Qingyuan, so she no longer dares to deny their affair.

In addition, they conspired to kill Zhao Jinshui and switch the child, so the yamen runners took them to the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Everything unfolded exactly as Gui Yao had predicted.

"Thank you."

Zhao Mingyue grasped Gui Yao's hand, her face full of gratitude.

Gui Yao smiled and said, "No need to thank me. This is our deal. I do things for you, you lend me your five senses, and I receive your power of will."

Humans have desires and obsessions, which can all coalesce into the power of will, and she needs this power of will to repair her soul.

Zhao Mingyue was eager to bring Tong Qingyuan and Zhao Xing'er to justice and get them out of the Tong family. Now the two were in jail.

With conclusive evidence, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the government will rule in favor of the authorities and end their deal.

"I've heard that the Prefect of Jingzhao is upright and incorruptible, and I think he can give you justice."

But the Marquis of Cheng'an and his wife will surely be unwilling to accept that their son has met with misfortune. If you have nowhere else to go, you may stay temporarily at my Xuanji Tower.

Before the transaction was completed, Gui Yao didn't want anything to happen to her employer, but an unexpected event occurred midway through.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Zhao Mingyue didn't hesitate at all.

She didn't believe her in-laws were completely unaware of Tong Qingyuan's treatment of her, yet they had shielded and indulged their son.

Now, the only person she can trust is Gui Yao, so she naturally feels that her Xuanji Tower is the safest place.

The Xuanji Tower stands at the junction of the East and West City, and those without affinity will never see it.

Zhao Mingyue is a destined person.

"We have simple meals upstairs. If you need anything else, you can have your servant bring it over before dark."

Gui Yao has no five senses, so he doesn't care what he eats. Therefore, he stocked up on some steamed buns and dumplings. Zhao Mingyue has been rich since childhood and may not be used to them.

This was Zhao Mingyue's third visit to Xuanji Tower. Knowing that the servants couldn't enter, she quickly whispered a few instructions and then turned to follow Gui Yao.

Xuanji Tower is a two-story building, and only Gui Yao lives there.

At least Zhao Mingyue didn't notice anyone else. As for others, just as the thought crossed her mind, a gentle and refined voice rang in her ears.

"Lady Mingyue, it's been so long! I've missed you dearly!"

A brightly colored little bird flew to Zhao Mingyue's shoulder, spread its wings in front of her chest, and curtsied gracefully.

"How has Madam been lately?"

Although it wasn't the first time Zhao Mingyue had heard birds speak human language, she still found it strange and her previous fear had subsided.

She smiled and gently stroked the bird's wings. "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

"Your wife will do even better in the future."

The little bird, offering a compliment, flew to Zhao Mingyue's hand, twirled around, and asked, "What do you think of my outfit today, Madam?"

It wore a glittering gold chain around its neck, a gift from Gui Yao, and it couldn't help but show it off.

"Mao Dan, Madam will be staying here for a few days. Please take her to settle in."

Gui Yao interrupted the little bird's self-admiration and went upstairs.

The little bird exploded, "Master, I changed my name after coming to the capital. I'm called Yulang now, so you can't call me Maodan anymore."

Gui Yao smiled brightly, "Xuanji Tower only has Gui Yao and Mao Dan, not Yu Lang."

This wretched bird knew her past, but refused to reveal a single word.

Gui Yao occasionally doesn't want to comply with its wishes.

"Master, you're hurting my feelings."

The bald bird flew around Gui Yao, saying, "The bird followed you all the way to the capital. It must have been so difficult for the bird."

"Oh?"

Gui Yao asked with a half-smile, "Where did you come from?"

Mao Dan immediately shut his mouth, his beady eyes darting around, and he turned and flew to Zhao Mingyue. "Madam, you must be tired. Let's go, Mao Dan will take you to pick out a good room."

Zhao Mingyue sensed the subtle atmosphere between the person and the bird, nodded slightly to Guiyao, and followed Maodan.

When Zhao Mingyue first met Gui Yao, she was at Ciyun Temple praying for a peace charm for her child.

Gui Yao appeared before her and said, "Madam, you don't need to waste your time. That child isn't yours."

She was so shocked she almost cursed, but Gui Yao took her to the back mountain of Ciyun Temple.

On the back mountain, she saw her beloved son sitting in Zhao Xing'er's arms, affectionately calling her "Mother." Tong Qingyuan embraced them and smiled gently.

She wanted to confront him, but Gui Yao stopped her, saying, "The desolate mountains and wilderness are the best places to bury bones."

These words brought her back to her senses.

She thought Gui Yao was a kind-hearted person who saw injustice, but unexpectedly she said, "If you need anything, Madam, you can go to Xuanji Tower at the junction of the East and West City. Gui Yao can help you out of trouble."

Despite their painstaking investigation, they found little evidence of the two's affair. Instead, they discovered they were poisoned and that many of their subordinates had been bribed by the two.

In her helplessness, she sought help from Gui Yao, who formed a pact with her, leading to the scene of catching her in adultery today.

However, the servants who came with her could not see Xuanji Tower, and she knew Guiyao was strangely absent.

But Gui Yao's help and rescue made her feel at ease; she didn't want to delve into anything else.

An hour later, her servant brought her something, and Gui Yao went outside to take it in for her.

She had changed into a red dress with gold thread interwoven with red gauze, paired with a red tassel hat. Zhao Mingyue couldn't help but glance at her face.

Despite having met her several times, she still couldn't clearly see Gui Yao's appearance. Every time she changed into different clothes, Gui Yao would wear a tassel hat that matched the colors.

The tassels and beads on her hat, and the clothes she wore, were all sparkling.

"Master, are you going out?"

The bald egg flew over. "Where are you going?"

Gui Yao walked outside, saying, "Wash your eyes."

Having witnessed Tong Qingyuan and Zhao Xing'er's illicit affair, her eyes were tainted; she needed to see something beautiful to cleanse them.

I absolutely refuse to admit that I wanted to fully experience this world while my five senses were still intact.

"I'll go too."

Mao Dan followed, muttering, "Master, don't you think Xuanji Tower needs someone to do laundry, cook, and clean?"

That way you won't go barefoot all the time because you hate washing shoes. Let's go catch one tonight.

"Xuanji Tower is not a bandit's den."

Gui Yao grabbed the little bird, stuffed it into her sleeve, and earnestly instructed, "Mao Dan, we're not catching it, we're inviting it."

After a month in Beijing, Xuanji Tower finally got a job and settled down. They definitely needed someone to do the work.

"Master is right."

Knowing that he could go out with Gui Yao, Mao Dan wisely changed his tune and said to Zhao Mingyue, "Madam, please rest early. There's no need to wait for us."

A person and a bird appeared in Xinglanfang, the most bustling area in the capital, where the lights were always on and it was the most prosperous place in the capital at night.

The aroma of food wafted over, and Gui Yao sniffed, following the scent to a building, intending to have a hearty meal first.

Suddenly, the frilly egg flapped its wings against the back of her hand and exclaimed, "Ah, how beautiful! Master, quick, wash your eyes!"

Gui Yao looked up and saw a peerless young man standing under the corridor lamp. He was as handsome as a jade tree, his bones as precious as jade, and his face as if meticulously painted, as if cut and polished, as if carved and refined.

His eyes were as black as ink, shining like the aurora under the light, and his skin was dazzlingly white, yet without any trace of artificiality.

Gui Yao's eyes were filled with joy, curving into crescent moons.

She loves anything shiny, including people.

"Mao Dan, what do you think about abducting him to Xuanji Tower?"

"I'm afraid that won't work."

The bird shook its head frantically. "Look at his fair skin, as delicate as snow in spring. He's obviously spoiled and pampered. He doesn't look like someone who knows how to sweep and clean."

Gui Yao's dark eyes shone brightly. "It's pleasing to the eye."

Bird Heart's expression hardened, and he nodded frantically. "What Master says is true, but he has an air of nobility and his every move exudes elegance. His clothes are also extraordinary, so he must be of noble birth. I'm afraid he won't be easy to seduce."

Gui Yao watched as a wisp of red aura spread from the man's wrist to hers, and she smiled slyly like a fox, "That's not necessarily true."
