Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

Gui Yao returned to Xuanji Tower carrying the food box. Xiao Huaijin was still awake and was waiting for her in the front hall.

"I'm back."

He stood up to greet her, glancing at the food box in Gui Yao's hand.

That was reserved for the imperial palace.

"Um."

Gui Yao noticed his gaze and realized that she hadn't put the food box into her spatial storage in time.

He smiled and said, "I saved someone a few days ago, and he came to give me a thank-you gift."

Ultimately, I was still affected by the crying.

Xiao Huaijin didn't ask any further questions, and said gently, "It's late, go and get some rest."

Tomorrow will be busy again.

But before they could rest, Guiyao's bell rang again.

The bodyguards responsible for keeping an eye on the Gu family have arrived.

The fake Gu Nansheng hasn't woken up yet, but her face has changed!

Gui Yao asked the guard, "What will you look like? How old will you be?"

Xiao Huaijin glanced at her when she asked that question.

The guard said, "A face completely different from Gu Nansheng's, around thirty years old."

"Walk."

Gui Yao pulled Xiao Huaijin along, "Let's go take a look."

Outside Gu Nansheng's room, the same two people who had been guarding her during the day were still there; Gu Shun had left.

Following the same method, Gui Yao flicked his sleeve and knocked both of them unconscious before entering the room.

It was indeed a completely different face; not exactly handsome, but not ugly either.

The guard said, "Those two haven't entered the room yet, so they haven't noticed the change in this person's expression."

He squatted on the roof beam, keeping watch on this person, and would occasionally glance down.

At first, he didn't notice the change.

Because the face didn't change all at once, but gradually peeled away from the forehead downwards.

Since the person's eyes were closed, the changes in their eyebrows and eyes were not obvious, and it was nighttime. It wasn't until his nose also changed that he noticed the difference.

Fearing there might be a mistake, he waited a moment longer, until his entire face transformed into that of a different person. He then hurried to Xuanji Tower to report back.

After going out for a while and coming back, I see that even his appearance has changed.

Xiao Huaijin frowned as he looked at the man who was clearly taller and more robust than Gu Nansheng, and asked, "Is it magic?"

To go from short and thin to tall and strong, you can use shoes to elevate your height and wear thicker clothes. But for a tall person to become thin, it's very difficult for ordinary people to do it.

He had heard of bone-shrinking techniques, but he had never heard of bone-shrinking techniques that could change one's face as well.

Gui Yao thought for a moment, "It's because it's related to Gu Nansheng's lucidity."

This person transformed into Gu Nansheng's appearance, presumably by tampering with Gu Nansheng's body.

Now that Gu Nansheng is isolated in Xuanji Tower, his evil magic has lost its effectiveness, and his disguise has been exposed.

but.

"This is not his final face."

Gui Yao already had a guess about this person's identity.

She channeled her spiritual power, placing her palm above the man's head and moving it downwards.

The person on the bed looked back at Nan Sheng.

"To prove Madam Gu and Gu Nansheng's innocence, this person will have to temporarily use Gu Nansheng's name."

Only when the world sees two Gu Nanshengs with their own eyes, and sees the fake Gu Nansheng stripped of her human clothes, will they believe that the real Gu Nansheng is innocent.

"My spiritual power can only last for one day."

In other words, they need to bring Gu Nansheng in black to the public within a day.

Xiao Huaijin understood what she meant. "That's enough."

Meanwhile, in Luanshi Village.

Two disheveled women helped each other open the gate to Sui'er's courtyard.

"Sister, no one's home here. Let's rest here for the night."

Another woman clutched her chest, panting, "Okay, go and see if there's anything to eat in the house."

Next door, Tian Guihua was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, thinking about the money she had lost twice.

The two houses were close together, and the sound of the gate being pushed open was particularly loud in the night. She sat up abruptly and nudged the man beside her, "Dafu, there's some noise next door. Is that brat Sui'er back?"

Li Dafu was woken up by a push. When he went out into the yard, he saw that Sui'er's house had its lights on, and he was instantly wide awake.

The ten taels that Sui'er gave her were lost, but Sui'er still had some silver on her.

Tian Guihua also saw the light from next door. The couple exchanged a glance, then took the lamp and went to Sui'er's house.

Instead, he found two unfamiliar women. Li Dafu's face darkened. "Who are you? Why are you at my aunt's house?"

The two women were startled and huddled together, trembling. "We were so tired from our journey and didn't dare to rest in the mountains. We saw that this house was empty, so we thought we'd ask to stay the night."

"How dare you trespass into someone else's yard?"

It wasn't Sui'er who returned. Li Dafu's hopes were dashed, and he said in a very bad tone, "Get out, get out, or I'll call for help."

My aunt's family only has one daughter, Sui'er, so it's like they've run out of male heirs. This house is going to be left to their family.

"Please forgive us, sir. It's the middle of the night, and it's really scary outside. We won't do anything, and we'll leave as soon as it's light."

"no."

Li Dafu flatly refused.

The two men never mentioned money; their house wasn't just for free.

Tian Guihua pinched him and smiled at the two women, saying, "You can stay in this house, but you have to let us know where you come from."

"us……"

The two exchanged a glance, stammering and refusing to speak.

Li Dafu finally realized what was happening and pretended to chase people away with a broom.

"They don't even dare to say where they came from, so they must not be good people. No, we can't lend you this house."

The younger ones were so frightened they cried, "Uncle, Auntie, we're not bad people. My stepmother wanted to sell my sister to an old widower as a concubine, so we ran away from home."

Upon hearing this, Tian Guihua felt relieved. The two sisters were both quite good-looking, and together they could fetch a good price.

She pretended to sympathize with the two and invited them to her house for a meal, but the two were wary and refused to go.

Tian Guihua believed the two men more and more, and when she got back, she made four eggs and steamed them into egg custard.

Li Dafu was heartbroken. "Just make two eggs and stir them into a tea."

This woman is getting more and more wasteful.

Tian Guihua glared at him. "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. I'll bring it over to them later. Go borrow an oxcart."

Everything went very smoothly. Although the two girls were wary, their stomachs betrayed them, and in the end, each of them ate half a bowl.

Tian Guihua and her husband were having sex twice. Just as dawn was breaking, they dragged people to Jishengtang. If you think about it carefully, it seems strange. Two groups of people came to their door in a few days, but she was blinded by money and didn't think about it at all.

This time, they still contacted Gu Shun.

Madam Gu was locked up, and Gu Shun was worried about how to deal with the young master when he woke up, when Tian Guihua brought two more.

Without a second thought, I bought it. As for whether the Gu family's affairs would reach the emperor and lead to an investigation of Jishengtang.

He wasn't afraid; the princess was there for him.

But just as he had Tian Guihua and her husband push the person to the backyard of Jishengtang, Zhangdeng led the guards of Jinwang Mansion to the door.

"Jishengtang has a lot of nerve."

The man holding the lantern pointed a stern eye at Gu Shun, "You dare to buy and sell the palace maids sent by our Empress to take care of the future princess?"

"Misunderstand!"

Gu Shun was startled. Although he was used to throwing his weight around because of Cheng Le, Nan Yao was not someone he could afford to offend.

He hurriedly pointed to Tian Guihua and Li Dafu, "They said this was their sister-in-law who was going to elope with someone, so I bought it."

Tian Guihua finally realized something was wrong, but then she heard Zhangdeng sneer, "Who are you trying to fool? Who sells their sister-in-law to a pharmacy?"

Comparing the two, it was clear that the Empress's lantern bearer had more power than the pharmacy. She hurriedly cried out, "Injustice! He's the one who sent us to deliver people here!"

"What would a pharmacy do with people? Are they going to be used for drug testing?"

One of the guards said suspiciously, "I've heard before that some unscrupulous pharmacies use living people as test subjects to improve their medical skills or develop certain drugs."

He seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "Oh no! The future princess has suddenly disappeared! We've searched the entire capital but can't find her. Could she have fallen into their hands too?"

The lamp holder's expression changed drastically. "Find her! We'll tear this Jishengtang down if we have to, to find the future princess."

But soon, the guard returned and said, "Lord Lantern Bearer, we couldn't find the Princess."

Another guard dragged over a young apprentice. "This man said that Jishengtang has been buying women to send to the Gu residence in the past two years. They sent one there a couple of days ago, but they don't know if it's the princess."

The man holding the lamp immediately said, "Go and inform the Prince immediately. The rest of you will come with me to the Gu residence."
