"You really like him?" Gu Qingcheng seemed to feel that this matter was a little difficult to talk about and only said these words after hesitating for a long time.

He didn't believe it at first, but after seeing his various abnormal actions, he had almost believed it.

Gu Junxiu didn't know how to respond to his words. What he liked was that soul, but he wasn't so sure now, so he could only silently face it in the end. Gu Qingcheng thought that he had tacitly agreed and frowned, "We will choose a few beauties tomorrow and deliver them to your palace. This time, we cannot refuse."

As if knowing what he was going to say, Gu Qingcheng stopped him in advance. The beauties that he bestowed upon them in the past would always be chased out by him using all sorts of reasons, causing him to be left alone in this world with not even a single concubine. That was why he took the wrong path.

He had thought that because of this reason, she would choose the beauty for Gu Junxiu no matter what. When she returned to her own palace, Ruan Xiaonuan welcomed him happily and boldly pulled him, "Where are we going?"

She looked at Gu Junxiu in anticipation, afraid that he would suddenly change his mind.

This time, he did not go back on his words. Not long after, she had changed into the attire of a servant.

In the eyes of the people, the silver mask signified that Gu Junxiu had appeared. In order to prevent his identity from being revealed, he had actually taken off his mask tonight, just like a young master from a wealthy family who was humble like jade. While waving his fan, he had attracted the attention of countless people, especially women.

He seldom took off his mask because he wanted to cause unnecessary trouble. Looking at his surroundings, his eyes were filled with impatience.

Ruan Xiaonuan naturally felt that they had become the focus of attention. It was as if everyone was looking at them, or at the people beside him. Gu Junxiu was a person who had inner strength, his five senses were different from an ordinary person, so not a single word of his fell into his ears.

"Jealous?" he asked with a smile in his peach blossom eyes. It was unknown how many women's souls that pair of eyes hooked onto him. He continued to laugh brazenly as if he did not notice anything.

"Stop laughing!"

She was here to play today and not to be watched by others. However, her hand was suddenly pulled up and the jaws of those people were about to fall off. They could not believe what they were seeing in front of their eyes.

Ruan Xiaonuan's face was thin, and very quickly flushed red. After a futile struggle, she could only allow himself to be pulled along. When they reached the restaurant they had arranged beforehand, Gu Junxiu let go of his hand and said to the waiter, "Let's eat all the signature dishes here."

The waiter was shocked by his appearance, and only left after a long time.

After he left, Ruan Xiaonuan protested in dissatisfaction, "Can you not do anything in front of others?"

It was unknown why, but when she was in front of him, she became a bit bolder. She was able to say things that she didn't dare to say previously with a straight face.

"Make a move?" Gu Junxiu mulled over these words in his mouth, but they still revealed a dangerous aura.

She immediately became like a frosted eggplant, not daring to refute.

At that moment, the waiter brought the dishes up, along with a jug of wine. She took a whiff of the wine and found it to be much more fragrant than the ones she used to drink. She praised, "What wine is this? "It smells so good!"

When the waiter saw that she was wearing the clothes of a manservant, he did not bother to answer her. Ruan Xiaonuan was not angry because of his attitude. Instead, she poured a little and started tasting it in her cup.

"This is osmanthus wine, do not be greedy."

Thinking about how she lost control after drinking, Gu Junxiu couldn't help but remind her.

She gave a slight nod, but did not touch the wine. After a few bites, she picked up the glass and said, "Let me toast you."

Gu Junxiu did not have any doubts as he drank the wine, and secretly poured the wine into his own body. As soon as he put down his glass, he collapsed on the table, his eyes closed.

She didn't feel relieved just because of this. She probed him with her hand and softly called out, "Prince, Prince!"

Seeing that he really didn't have any reaction, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

When she was in the palace, she had asked the imperial physician for a lot of sweat medicine just in case. However, he did not expect to be of such great help today.

This was also the idea that came to mind when he said he was leaving the palace yesterday. When he wasn't paying attention earlier, he poured the whole bag down and pretended to toast him, letting him drink. Although she felt guilty, she didn't want to end up in a miserable state in the future, so she could only think of a way to escape.

She did not hesitate any longer. She simply packed her things and quickly left the restaurant. Because they were in a private room, no one noticed what was going on inside. This gave her enough time to change out of her overly conspicuous clothes.

When she left the clothing store, she immediately changed from a delicate and pretty servant into a young girl with a veil covering her face. Even if Gu Junxiu woke up early, it wouldn't be that easy to find her.

She plundered all the silver and silver notes from the palace and brought them with her when she came out today. These things could guarantee that she wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of her life, so she was very confident that she could leave Gu Junxiu's control and lead the life that she wanted to live.

However, Ruan Xiaonuan had only thought of leaving the palace at that time, and had forgotten that she did not know the way out of the palace, and could not find the location of the city gate. She stood in the middle of the street, looking a little despairingly at the people coming and going.

After thinking for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to ask the passerby, "Do you know where the city gate is?"

That person told her in detail. She nodded, as if she understood something. Although she didn't understand it very well, she knew the general direction, so she didn't need to be like a headless fly. The result of being too overjoyed was that she didn't see the carriage speeding over. She only heard someone shouting, "Be careful!"

Then, his vision turned dark and he became unconscious.

When she woke up again, she was lying on a crude bed. The room was also very simple, but very neat. Just as she was feeling puzzled, a servant girl came in, "Miss, you're awake! Young Master will be back soon.

After saying that, she immediately left. Ruan Xiaonuan sat on her bed, completely confused as to what he had just said. Who was that Young Noble? Where is she now?

Remembering the effects of the medicine, she didn't dare delay and immediately got up and put on her shoes, intending to leave this place.

But at this time, Gu Junxiu who was in the tavern slowly woke up. When he realized that he was the only one left there, he was extremely surprised at first. When he picked up the wine cup and discovered that there was something fishy going on inside, the wine cup instantly turned into ashes in his hand. His eyes also revealed an ice-cold look.
