Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.
Chapter 5: Choosing a Handsome Man as the Antidote
Upon seeing that it was Gui Yao, Xiao Huaijin reached out and grabbed her neck.
Gui Yao reacted quickly, grabbing his wrist. "Young master, you can't just bully people because you're good-looking."
The corners of his eyes were slightly red from the medication, which made his pupils appear even darker and clearer, as if they held a sky full of crushed stars.
When one is devoid of the five senses, all that is before one's eyes is chaos. Therefore, when one can still see, one tends to be more tolerant of beautiful people and things.
"You tampered with the flower petals."
Xiao Huaijin forcibly suppressed the surging heat within him. "Where is the antidote?"
Pei Xuan has been staying at Changxiangsi for the past few days. He stayed behind to examine Pei Xuan's life and try to find some clues.
As the petals drifted in, I sensed something was off about the scent. My body already gave me the answer: the petals were from the aphrodisiac, and this aphrodisiac was inextricably linked to them.
The woman had been staring at him like that just now, and now she was standing in front of him again. It was hard for him not to be suspicious.
Gui Yao sensed a misunderstanding in his words and smiled, "I am just like you, a traveler longing for you."
However, judging from your pulse, the medicinal properties in your body are much stronger than mine, so I'm afraid you've also come into contact with something unclean elsewhere.
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came over.
Almost simultaneously, the two released each other and attacked the servant at the same time.
The servant, with two men gripping his left and right necks respectively, cried out in terror, "Spare me, sir, spare me!"
"What's with the flower petals?"
The one who asked the question was Gui Yao, and her usual lazy smile was gone from her face.
The servant replied, "A haven of gentle pleasures."
Xiao Huaijin frowned. "What do you mean?"
Gui Yao was slightly taken aback; she didn't understand either.
The servant, seeing their expressions, understood, "These two must be first-timers."
"I was unaware that our Changxiangsi has recently introduced a new program, 'Celestial Maidens Scattering Flowers.' The flower petals are sprayed with a special potion, whose aroma enhances the experience, making our distinguished guests feel as if they've entered a gentle paradise."
Gui Yao tightened his grip. "The antidote."
The waiter was troubled. "There is no antidote. The customers come here to seek pleasure. The shop provides free entertainment, so they are only happy and no one ever asks for an antidote."
"lie."
Xiao Huaijin frowned.
Petals fell, filling the building with a strange fragrance, but the servant was unharmed, clearly having taken the antidote beforehand.
The servant hurriedly explained, "We did take the antidote, which lasts for a month. There are still fifteen days until the next delivery, and the shop doesn't have any."
No one but the master of the house can cure this medicine, but he is not in the capital.
Xiao Huaijin glanced at his patrons downstairs; each of them had a face full of lust, yet their expressions were joyful, clearly indicating that they were already aware of the situation and were acting voluntarily. The servant had not lied.
"How about I make some arrangements for you, young master?"
The servant took the opportunity to solicit customers.
The arrangement, of course, involved arranging prostitutes to serve Xiao Huaijin.
"No need."
After Xiao Huaijin refused, he heard a familiar voice, "Where is Prince Jin?"
His eyes darkened, and he grabbed Gui Yao and jumped off the second-floor railing, quickly leaving Changxiangsi.
Having determined that she was unlikely to be found, Xiao Huaijin stopped and asked Gui Yao, "Since you can diagnose my problem, do you have a solution?"
He was invited to a banquet today, and the host arrived at Changxiangsi right on time.
The depravity inside was obvious. The other party had given him a drug, which would take effect when he encountered a woman's body. Despite his best efforts, he still fell for it.
The woman in front of them had made the correct diagnosis.
Gui Yao, recalling the power of the vow from earlier, tentatively said, "The price I paid for this was not low. Why don't you go along with the medicinal properties, young master? That person just now was crying his heart out, so he must be quite willing."
"Ahem!"
Xiao Huaijin choked abruptly. It turned out that she knew about the private room incident and had even misunderstood it.
"He is my good friend, and the woman he loves is my sweetheart."
His heart was pounding, and he had used all his self-control. Fortunately, he was wearing a cloak tonight, so he wouldn't be too embarrassed.
But he still took a few steps back, his whole body tense, unable to say much, only asking, "What kind of reward does the young lady want?"
Gui Yao's eyes brightened slightly. There was a misunderstanding. The power of the wish was hers.
"I'll give you the antidote, and you'll take care of my food and shelter from now on. It's a three-year agreement."
Three years should be enough time for her to gather the power of her wishes and find out her identity.
As a prince, Xiao Huaijin had countless servants under his command, so taking care of a woman was not a difficult task for him. "Alright."
He agreed, unaware that ordinary people could not enter the Xuanji Tower.
"Words are no proof; let us put it in writing."
"Can."
Just as Xiao Huaijin realized he didn't have paper and pen, Gui Yao pulled them out of her sleeve and began writing quickly, "What's your name?"
"Nan Yao, Xiao Huaijin."
Gui Yao paused slightly as he held the pen.
After decades of chaos, the current crown prince, a precocious genius, led troops into battle at the age of fifteen. Within five years, he pacified the neighboring countries that coveted the Great Sheng Dynasty and divided the world with another great power, Nan Yao.
The two countries are evenly matched, and war would bring devastation to the nation.
Three years ago, the Crown Prince took the initiative to propose to Nan Yao that the two countries establish friendly relations and refrain from war for a hundred years.
To show their sincerity, the seventeen-year-old legitimate princess went to Nan Yao as a hostage, and Nan Yao's most favored young prince came to Da Sheng, who is the one in front of us.
After glancing at the red aura connecting their wrists, Gui Yao paused only for a moment. Once the contract was written, he first signed his name and handed it to Xiao Huaijin.
Xiao Huaijin's vision was already blurred, and he was having difficulty breathing. With his remaining consciousness, he could make out the contract. His gaze lingered briefly on Gui Yao's name before he wrote his own name.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Guiyao."
His sanity was on the verge of collapse, and he desperately needed an antidote.
So much so that when Gui Yao picked him up horizontally, he didn't have the energy to stop her.
Gui Yao carried the man, who was much taller than her, back to Xuanji Tower and headed straight for her bedroom.
As his back touched the soft bed and his belt was ripped off, Xiao Huaijin was startled and regained some of his composure.
"What...are you doing?"
Gui Yao tossed aside her hat, pressed the back of her hand against her increasingly burning face, and said without a hint of ambiguity, "I'll give you the antidote."
"What Mr. Xiao meant was to have the girl use her medical skills."
Xiao Huaijin struggled to sit up.
Gui Yao blinked. "Really? I misunderstood. But this medicine is beyond medical help. At most, you will die from exhaustion of your internal organs in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
This medicine is indeed incurable, and Xiao Huaijin is the antidote she chose for herself.
At this moment, Xiao Huaijin felt as if his heart was being burned by raging fire, as if his blood was being burned away, and his meridians were flowing backward.
He knew she was telling the truth; his life hung by a thread.
"Can……"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Huaijin's eyes met Gui Yao's.
Clear and transparent, devoid of desire, without hesitation, only a tranquility he could not comprehend.
He suddenly stopped struggling.
Thank you for your trouble.
An hour later, Gui Yao looked at the sleeping man, with dragon-like eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, and a pure and elegant appearance.
The five senses are borrowed, but the scenery before my eyes is hers.
Mao Dan was squatting not far from the door. When she came out, he flew up and said plaintively, "Master, you've gone bad. You actually brought a man home."
Gui Yao poured herself a cup of tea. "I've been searching for the Dao in Changxiangsi. He is the one destined for me."
Her tone was calm and indifferent, but the water in her teacup sloshed slightly.
"Did Changxiangsi bully you?"
The bird was very concerned, and temporarily put aside the matter of men.
"Yeah, we got the short end of the stick."
Gui Yao finished his tea and said, "Mao Dan, it's time to add some money to our treasury."
Music venues have existed since ancient times, but Chang Xiangsi used aphrodisiacs to turn the entire building into a den of debauchery, which goes against the natural order.
The most important thing is that she endured most of the night's suffering, so we must get back a thousand times, a hundred times, the gold she spent tonight...
The patrons of Changxiangsi, after a night of passion, would wake up to find all their money and valuables gone, and would demand compensation from Changxiangsi.
Before the madam could calm everyone down, the pimp guarding the storeroom ran in in a panic, shouting, "Oh no, madam, the storeroom has been completely looted!"
Another maid ran in, "Mother, all the money and jewelry in your room are gone."
Some patrons suspected that Changxiangsi was using the allure of the brothel to steal from the warehouse, and that the so-called theft was a hoax, so they reported it to the authorities.
Officials rushed to Changxiangsi, and a storm suddenly broke out in the city.
Gui Yao, the instigator, had already exchanged all the available silver notes for cash and returned safely to Xuanji Tower.
As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, Xiao Huaijin, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. "Miss, shouldn't you explain something?"
