Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

Gui Yao paused for a moment, then smiled, "Okay."

If she were to get married in the future, she would naturally want to marry a handsome man, and Prince Jin was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

He was gentle and kind to her.

Xiao Huaijin was surprised by her quick response; a smile curved his lips and a deep mirth appeared in his eyes.

"Young lady, you mustn't break your promise."

Gui Yao's unpretentious and straightforward nature made him feel very comfortable around her, and he thought that it would be nice to spend his life with such a woman.

Following the example of Feng Youcheng and Mao Dan that day, Gui Yao also extended her little finger and said, "Pinky promise."

With his slender, fair fingers hooked around hers, Xiao Huaijin smiled and said, "Pinky promise, a gentleman's word is his bond."

His whole face broke into a smile, making Gui Yao's heart skip a beat. She poked his cheek with her finger.

"The prince has dimples when he smiles."

Gui Yao's eyes were full of joy.

He had never laughed out loud before, and thus missed out on this charm.

Xiao Huaijin didn't look away; the smile in his eyes deepened slightly.

"Oh dear, oh dear!"

Suddenly, Mao Dan's voice rang out, "What are you doing?"

It partially covered its eyes with its wings, but its gaze was fixed on Xiao Huaijin.

This man is using his good looks to seduce his master again.

Xiao Huaijin noticed its gaze, turned his head and smiled at Maodan, a smile that seemed to say, "Your master likes me more now."

Mao Dan miraculously understood, its wings about to burst open. Gui Yao withdrew her hand, picked up Mao Dan and placed it in her palm, smoothing the fur on its back.

"Why are you back so early today?"

These past few days, it hasn't gone home until dark.

Once the owner comforted him, Mao Dan's anger vanished.

"Ugh, don't even mention it."

It flapped its wings, looking somewhat dejected. "Fat Green and Red Eyebrow had a fight."

Fat Green is a kingfisher, and Red Eyebrow is a thrush. They are friends that Hairy Egg made after coming to the capital.

Some time ago, Guiyao asked Maodan to mobilize its bird friends in order to find Miss Pei Liu, so Maodan and the birds started to visit each other more often.

Today, it stayed with Feng Youcheng at the Zhao family's house, while Pang Cui and Hua Mei went to look for it.

"Red Eyebrow said that Fat Green didn't love it, but Fat Green swore on its life that it loved Red Eyebrow very much."

But Red Eyebrow didn't believe it. It said that if Fatty Green really loved it, it should lay eggs for her.

Mao Dan said with distress, "Master, Fat Green is a male bird, how could it lay eggs?"

Red-browed insisted that if human men can get pregnant and have offspring, then male birds can also lay eggs.

Fat Green didn't want to help it lay eggs; it just didn't like it. No matter how Fat Green explained, Red Eyebrow wouldn't listen.

Fatty Cui was so anxious she kept crying to me; my ears were almost deafened by her crying, so I had to find an excuse to go home.

Gui Yao's brow twitched slightly. "If Red Eyebrow said that, it must have seen a man pregnant. Do you know where it saw it?"

Mao Dan shook his head. "Mao Dan also thinks Hong Mei is being unreasonable, so he didn't ask."

"Mao Dan, what you're doing is wrong. It's hard for birds to lay eggs all the time, and they need comfort and attention."

Perhaps Hongmei just wanted to complain and vent her physical and mental exhaustion.

"You two don't even bother to understand the situation; you're so eager to prove things and run away from them. Naturally, Hongmei is heartbroken."

"is that so?"

Mao Dan was puzzled. It knew a lot about humans, but it didn't quite understand love.

Gui Yao nodded seriously, "If I keep laying eggs but my husband doesn't understand me, I will definitely be hurt and feel that he doesn't love me."

"Then I'll go tell Fatty Green now, let it figure out what happened, and comfort Red Eyebrow."

The bald egg turned and flew away.

Even someone as strong as my master gets sad, so Red Eyebrows must be really upset.

Gui Yao called out, "Remember to tell me when you get back."

Xiao Huaijin listened to the whole thing and asked, "You want to know who the pregnant man is? Is it related to the person who just came to visit?"

"Yes, but he didn't trust me. He just asked if I had seen a pregnant man and then left."

"who is he?"

Xiao Huaijin pressed for details, intending to help her find out more.

Gui Yao told him.

"The Duke of Qi?"

Xiao Huaijin was also somewhat surprised, "Didn't you say that Xuanji Tower only accepts commissions from women?"

So far, he is the only man who has been able to enter the Xuanji Tower. Why was the Duke of Qi able to enter?

"It is a bit strange."

Gui Yao's eyes flickered, and she rubbed her slightly hungry stomach. "But we'll find out the reason eventually."

Xiao Huaijin then said, "Shall we dine at the Treasure Pavilion?"

Last time, Guiyao had no senses and couldn't go, but she remembered Xiao Huaijin saying that a famous chef had come to Zhenxiu Pavilion.

"Walk."

Her eyes sparkled as she turned and went outside.

Xiao Huaijin dusted off his robes and hurriedly followed. The moment he stepped out the door, he took her hand.

Gui Yao only looked at it out of curiosity and did not break free.

She also held the prince's hand.

Xiao Huaijin's wildly beating heart calmed down, and the corners of his lips slightly lifted.

He didn't understand what love was, nor did he intend to delve into it, but his heart told him to do it, so he did it.

Upon exiting Xuanji Tower, Gui Yao saw a group of people with lanterns leading the way, laying the foundation. He exclaimed, "Your Highness is really fast!"

Xiao Huaijin had already mentioned to Guiyao his plan to build a restaurant in front of Xuanji Tower.

Gui Yao would naturally be happy to be able to eat hot food as soon as she goes out.

Accepting the compliment, Xiao Huaijin asked, "What kind of dishes does the young lady like?"

He can hire the appropriate chef.

Gui Yao thought about it seriously for a moment, "I like all kinds of delicious food."

Xiao Huaijin considered carefully and said, "Then invite chefs from both the northern and southern cuisines."

Gui Yao's mouth watered at the thought of delicious food. She smiled and said, "Gui Yao will do whatever Your Highness says."

The swordsman standing guard by the carriage overheard their conversation and thought to himself that Miss Guiyao was getting the better deal and was still acting innocent.

The prince, blinded by lust, opened a restaurant in this godforsaken place.

However, as long as the prince is happy.

At the same time, it was also a pity for the women in Nanyao who liked the prince. They probably never dreamed that the prince would be so easy to pursue.

As soon as they arrived, Zhijian cleverly put down the horse stool. The two had just boarded the carriage when Maodan returned in a flurry.

"Master, we've found out. It's the eldest son of Yang Bokang, the Imperial Censor, who is pregnant."

Mao Dan, panting heavily, asked another question: "Master, guess who the eldest son of Imperial Censor Yang is?"

Gui Yao doesn't know.

But Xiao Huaijin knew that "Yang Yue, the second son-in-law of the Duke of Qi".

"So the Duke of Qi came for his son-in-law."

The return was sudden and unclear.

Xiao Huaijin said, "According to my investigation, the Qi family and the Yang family have a very bad relationship, and can even be considered rivals."

The Duke of Qi had threatened Miss Qi, saying that if she married into the Yang family, he would sever their father-daughter relationship, but Miss Qi still insisted on marrying him.

These were found when the investigation into Qi Yu was conducted.

"It seems the father-daughter relationship is exceptionally bad."

Gui Yao leaned against the carriage, propping her head up with her hand, "That's why the Duke of Qi didn't dare to bring me to the Yang family's house."

"The Duke of Qi still loves his daughter."

Xiao Huaijin said something.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to Xuanji Tower.

Gui Yao agreed, "He only contacted me again because he loves his daughter."

As she predicted, two days later, the Duke of Qi knocked on the door of Xuanji Tower again.

"I'll give you the address. Would you please go there secretly?"

His daughter resisted him, not wanting him to meddle in other people's business, and the Yang family also opposed his coming to their home, but he couldn't abandon his daughter.

Gui Yao smiled and said, "Of course."

The Duke of Qi then told her Yang Yue's address, saying, "Please take a look, young lady, and see if there is a solution. If you can resolve his pregnancy, I, Qi, will certainly reward you handsomely."

Gui Yao glanced at him. "Sir, may I ask you what your true wish is?"

When Yang Yue is mentioned, the power of his will is almost gone.

Duke Qi was somewhat surprised that Gui Yao had seen through his thoughts.

After a few moments of silence, he asked, "Whatever your wish, can you grant it?"

"I am not a god and cannot fulfill all the wishes of the world, but those who can enter the Xuanji Tower are all those whose wishes I can grant."

Gui Yao smiled and said, "The Prince of Shu probably didn't tell you, sir, that Xuanji Tower doesn't accept money for its business, only the power of one's vows."

The Duke of Qi understood. He didn't have much desire for his son-in-law's pregnancy to be resolved; what he was truly worried about was his daughter.

The reason I came here a second time was because I was at my wit's end and had no other choice.

Having already lost one son, he couldn't bear to lose his daughter as well. After a few moments of hesitation, he spoke, "My true wish is for my daughter to leave her husband, to return home, or to remarry, as long as she lives a peaceful and happy life."

Gui Yao readily agreed, "Xuanji Tower will do as you wish."

Her words seemed to have a magical power, causing the Duke of Qi to look into her eyes.

In her originally bright and clear eyes, the dark pupils spread out like ink, deepening in circles until her entire eyes became pure black.

Xiao Huaijin, who had just entered Xuanji Tower, happened to see this scene and moved aside.

The Duke of Qi was also shocked by what he saw, but he said nothing, only saying, "Then I'll trouble you, young lady."

After the contract was signed, Gui Yao's dark eyes gradually returned to normal, and he smiled, "Sir is now my employer, and it is my duty to share your burdens."

After seeing off the Duke of Qi, Xiao Huaijin appeared. "The young lady's eyes..."

He had seen it before; it would turn red.

Before Gui Yao could speak, Mao Dan, who had brought him in, said, "When the master encounters different wills, his eyes turn into different colors."

Just as the master's robes are five-colored, so too are the master's eyes.

After saying that, it looked at the sky and asked curiously, "Hey, Master, why didn't the heavenly lightning strike you this time when you accepted the man's request?"

Xiao Huaijin also looked at Gui Yao with curiosity.

Gui Yao smiled mysteriously and remained silent.
