Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

After Gu Junxiu finished speaking, his body slanted and completely fell onto Ruan Xiaonuan's body. When she saw the bloody hole in his chest, she hugged him helplessly and said, "Wake up!" However, this would allow the blood flow to be even faster.

Ruan Xiaonuan had learned about first aid in the modern world, so she realised that she couldn't shake his body right now. Immediately get Xiao Qi to come over, and try her best to use a calm voice to instruct, "Find a few people to get the Duke into the carriage, you must not touch his wounds."

When the people who had attempted to assassinate saw the sword piercing toward him, they thought that Gu Junxiu had no way out, so they left without a sound. Ruan Xiaonuan sat on the horse carriage and saw that his face was pale white, and that the blood on his wounds seemed to be flowing out. She knew that if she continued like this, she would definitely not be able to hold on inside the imperial palace and lose too much blood.

She had no other choice but to tear off her undergarment and simply bandage the wound. Seeing that the blood flow had slowed down, she heaved a sigh of relief.

When Gu Qingcheng returned to the palace and heard that they had been assassinated, he was extremely shocked. All the imperial physicians were gathered in the Zhaoyang Palace. Ruan Xiaonuan's hands were covered in blood as she walked around the house. From time to time, she would stick close to the house to inquire about the situation inside.

"Go down and change your clothes. Your body is covered in blood. It doesn't look good." Gu Qingcheng said gently.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him unwillingly, but she was standing there covered in blood, and she was indeed unsightly. Just as she left, Chu Ying came over to support the empress dowager. She walked in with vigorous steps, wanting to rush in, but Gu Qingcheng blocked her quickly.

"mother, don't be impatient. Ah Xiu will be fine, please sit here and wait." The moment he finished speaking, the Esteemed Empress Dowager immediately said, "The two of you are looking down on the I more and more. Even after such a huge incident happened to Ah Xiu, the two of you still did not get anyone to tell the I that he was sensible. If not for her care, would you two bury the I in the drum?"

Gu Qingcheng laughed awkwardly, and did not reply. However, he was the ruler of a nation and it was impossible for him to stay here forever. Thus, after the empress dowager arrived, he took Su Desheng and left.

After Ruan Xiaonuan finished changing her clothes and returned, he saw the empress dowager sitting there with a sullen face. When she saw Chu Ying standing next to her, she could already guess what she had said. However, she could not care about this matter at the moment. She walked forward and bowed, "Greetings Esteemed Empress Dowager."

When Esteemed Empress Dowager heard her voice, she didn't even lift her eyes and said indifferently, "You may rise."

Chu Ying looked at the empress dowager's actions in astonishment. She couldn't believe that it would end like this, she shouldn't have gotten angry and sent this ominous person, Ruan Xiaonuan, into the cold palace.

Little did he know that the thoughts in her heart were all expressed on her face and were completely captured in Ruan Xiaonuan's eyes. She understood that no matter what Chu Ying and the empress dowager said, she couldn't possibly be punished now. The most important thing right now was for Gu Junxiu to escape this danger.

Not long after, Xiao Fan brought Chu He over and asked, "How is the Prince?" Ruan Xiaonuan couldn't tell if she was truly concerned or just faking it, so he didn't answer her.

On the contrary, Chu Ying was anxious to please Xiao Fan, and impatiently said, "My prince is kind, and will definitely be fine, Princess, you don't have to worry too much."

He walked up to the empress dowager and said, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, your highness is fine now. It's a good thing someone helped bandage his wound and stop the bleeding, otherwise, even if Hua Tuo were to be reborn, he wouldn't be able to save him."

Ruan Xiaoxiao finally broke into a smile, and the empress dowager's tensed face relaxed by quite a bit. When they entered, Gu Junxiu was still in a deep slumber, but a bit of color had finally returned to his face. His Majesty went in to take a look, and the tears kept coming. "Esteemed empress dowager, the prince is fine now. He must have suffered such a disaster because of that unlucky person.

Ruan Xiaonuan finally understood what she said. The ancient people were superstitious, so there would definitely be people who would believe her words, mainly to see what the empress dowager would think. She knew that she couldn't explain herself now. It would be better to stand here in silence.

"Can't you see that Ah Xiu is still unconscious? All of you go out and leave Qing Luan here to serve, and wait for him to wake up before making her plans. " The Esteemed Empress Dowager said impatiently.

"But …" Before Chu Ying could finish her words, Xiao Fan said, "Esteemed Empress Dowager is right, our presence here is not good for your recovery."

Chu Ying stood alone and had no one to help him, so she could only lower her head and follow the directions. Before the empress dowager left, she glared fiercely at Ruan Xiaonuan, but did not say anything.

"Hurry up and wake up. If you don't wake up, I'll be eaten alive by them." After everyone had left, she sat on the bed and chattered on.

Regardless of whether it was some trivial matters or the things that had never been said before, she was like pouring beans, constantly talking, as if Gu Junxiu could hear her.

On the second day at court, everyone realized that Prince Yu did not come to court, and although they had their suspicions, they did not dare to discuss about it. After the assembly, Gu Qingcheng called his trusted aides to the royal study and said, "Prince Yu was ambushed in the capital yesterday!"

These people were very surprised when they heard this. They asked, "How are your injuries?" Gu Qingcheng shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"Those assassins are all well-trained, they are not like ordinary assassins., what are your thoughts?" That was why he had called them here.

Not long after, the official was the first to speak. "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject believes that you may be an enemy of the Prince." Before Gu Qingcheng could say anything, General Ling snorted and said, "Sir official is really a proper civil servant. His Majesty just said that the assassins were well-trained, would an ordinary enemy have the ability to do so?"

The officer was so angry that his face and neck were red. He said with disdain, "Since that's the case, why don't you tell me about your wise idea, General."

General Ling was not the least bit embarrassed as he said confidently, "This official thinks that he might be an assassin from the other countries. In terms of military affairs, there is a saying, "Capture the thief first and then the king. They want the Ninth Prince's life, so that the army of Xiyue Kingdom will not have a leader.

The official finally stopped arguing with him this time. They all understood that if it was really like what General Ling said, then there must be enemy spies in the capital with dangers everywhere around.
