"Girl, you, you are so beautiful!"
The servant couldn't hide the amazement in his eyes and praised him sincerely.
Originally, this was a rather greasy remark coming from a servant, but for some reason, Gao Yufei didn't find it offensive.
Instead, she found it somewhat pleasant to hear, and a blush of embarrassment, as if she had been praised, immediately appeared on her cheeks.
When the maidservant approached and saw her mistress with this man, she hurriedly and frantically pulled Gao Yufei away.
"Princess, what are you doing? How could that person possibly be worthy of you!"
The maid was astonished.
Although this man wasn't particularly old or ugly, judging from his clothes and appearance, he was clearly an ordinary person!
How could their noble princess chat so happily with such a man?
"How dare you speak like that!"
Gao Yufei scolded the maid with displeasure, then looked apologetically at the servant.
"Young master, I'm sorry, she doesn't know how to speak properly and has offended you. Please don't take it to heart."
"No, no, of course not."
The servant grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.
Actually, apart from his low social status, this servant was quite handsome among commoners.
Therefore, under the influence of the mother Gu, Gao Yufei found this man even more pleasing to the eye, and for a moment she completely forgot about Xiao Ye.
After exchanging a few random words, the two said their goodbyes briefly.
A few days later, Gao Yufei frequently dreamed of the man's figure, and she seemed to be bewitched by him, wanting to get close to him.
Later, she even sent her maid away so she could meet the man alone.
It wasn't until a few days later, when the maid noticed that Gao Yufei hadn't returned to the mansion all night, that she went to tell Gao Junning what had happened.
"The princess has disappeared? What are you servants good for? You can't even keep an eye on the princess!"
Upon hearing that Gao Yufei had gone missing, Gao Junning angrily reprimanded her.
"Young master, Miss, she doesn't allow us to go out with her. This time she sneaked out when we weren't paying attention, and we've searched many places but can't find her."
Several maids knelt on the ground, trembling, to explain.
"Guards! Drag these maids away and give each of them twenty strokes of the cane! Also, send all the guards throughout the city to search for the princess!"
Ignoring the servant's pleas for mercy, Gao Junning coldly commanded.
Upon hearing that Gao Yufei's personal maid was to be punished, she quickly crawled in front of Gao Junning.
"Young master, please, please don't hit me! I... I might know where the princess is!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Junning turned his cold, sharp gaze to the maid, "Tell me everything you know!"
So the maid told her about Gao Yufei's unusual behavior over the past few days and her interactions with that man.
Gao Junning's face grew darker as he listened, and he couldn't help but wonder how his proud sister could be so close to a commoner from Daliang.
This is not normal.
And didn't he use a curse on Xiao Ye?
Why has it been seven days and Xiao Ye still hasn't come to look for his sister?
Could it be...?
A terrifying thought suddenly popped into Gao Junning's head, and he couldn't help but shudder.
No, that's impossible, absolutely impossible.
With a mix of hope and worry, Gao Junning learned some information about the man from the maid, then ordered a portrait to be drawn and began a large-scale search.
Gao Yufei was finally found three days later.

"Feifei! What are you doing!"
Gao Junning led dozens of guards into a private residence in an alley.
He burst through the door, and the first thing he saw was his sister and a man lying on a bed, their clothes disheveled.
"Ah! Get out, get out, all of you get out now!"
Gao Yufei woke up from her daze with a start and was terrified to see so many people suddenly burst into the room. She screamed in panic.
The servant who was with her immediately covered Gao Yufei's exposed body with a quilt, and then trembled as he hid to the side.
"Beat this man to death with clubs!"
Gao Junning stared at the man who had ruined his sister's reputation with bloodshot eyes and said viciously.
But before he could finish speaking, Gao Yufei rushed to the servant's side to protect him.
"No! You mustn't hurt him! I won't allow you to kill him!"
"Little sister, do you know what you're doing? Who is he? How could you be with him...?"
Gao Junning looked at Gao Yufei with immense heartache.
His wonderful sister was ruined by this man!
"Don't kill Zhang Lang! I won't allow you to kill him!"
Ignoring Gao Junning's pained expression, as if possessed, Gao Yufei only knew that she couldn't let anyone kill the man in front of her, otherwise her heart would ache.
It hurts so much, it hurts so much.
"Feifei, don't you like the Crown Prince of Liang? Why are you with a man like that? What makes him compare to the Crown Prince? Are you confused?"
Seeing that Gao Yufei was still stubborn, Gao Junning couldn't help but mention Xiao Ye.
"The Crown Prince?"
Only then did Gao Yufei's face show a hint of confusion as she slowly remembered Xiao Ye.
"Your Highness, I... I should like Your Highness, but... but... ah!"
Gao Yufei murmured a few words, but as she spoke, she started to feel a headache coming on.
He clutched his head and cried out in pain.
"Feifei, what's wrong?"
Upon seeing this, Gao Junning immediately went up to him with concern.
Then, having no other choice, he knocked Gao Yufei unconscious and took her back to his residence.
At the same time, he also took the servant away and locked him up.
"Young master, the princess is afflicted by a Gu poison. The offspring of the mind-controlling Gu is on that man. The reason the princess is like this is entirely due to the mother-child Gu poison."
After returning to the manor, the doctor from Beimo examined Gao Yufei and the servant, and then explained to Gao Junning.
A crack appeared on Gao Junning's face as he asked incredulously, "Why is this happening? It was clearly meant to be on the Crown Prince that day, how did it end up on this man?"
“Young master, we must remove the curse as soon as possible. Otherwise, the princess will be unable to leave this man. You also cannot kill this man. If he dies, the princess will not survive either.”
The doctor advised again.
"Is it difficult to remove the curse? Do you know how?"
“The Mind-Controlling Gu is no ordinary Gu. I am not capable enough. I am afraid I will have to inform the Regent and ask him to invite the most powerful sorcerer in the Northern Desert, or the former Imperial Preceptor.”
Is it that complicated?
Gao Junning asked a question.
The former Grand Preceptor has already gone into seclusion and it's absolutely impossible for him to come to Daliang at this time. If you want to find the Grand Preceptor, you can only go back to the Northern Desert.
But they hadn't finished their business, so they couldn't go back now. The only option was to tell their father to invite the most powerful wizard in the Northern Desert.
Their attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and if they told their father, they would definitely be scolded.
Thinking of the Regent's disappointment in him, Gao Junning hesitated again.
