Gu Qingcheng agreed with General Ling in his heart, but did not reveal it. Instead, he looked at Hua Qingse who had not opened his mouth all this while, and asked, "Does love letter Hua have any ideas?"

"My thoughts and General Ling's are about the same. When Your Highness wakes up, we can follow this lead and investigate further." Gu Qingcheng nodded, then said: "The matter of Prince Yu being injured, you must keep it a secret, in case anything happens."

Ruan Xiaonuan guarded Gu Junxiu for the whole night. No one knew when, but she was trapped and lost himself in a deep sleep. When he woke up, he saw that it was her sleeping visage. She frowned, as if there was something troubling him. He wanted to reach out to smooth it over for her, but she felt a heart-wrenching pain every time she moved her body. He gritted his teeth tightly, but Ruan Xiaonuan still heard it.

She opened his sleepy eyes and unconsciously said, "Are you thirsty? I'll go get you some water."

After they had walked a few steps, they suddenly thought of something. They immediately turned around and said in pleasant surprise, "You're finally awake!"

Maybe because Gu Junxiu was injured, he did not look as cold as usual. He nodded slightly. Ruan Xiaonuan continued to ask, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else? Does the wound hurt? "

He could not move as her hand caressed his body. He could only allow her to take advantage of him. However, if he continued to feel around, something would definitely happen. He quickly said, "I'm fine now, how long were you guarding here last night?"

Ruan Xiaonuan's face reddened. Embarrassed, he admitted it and said softly, "I had to do it because I saw that no one was guarding you."

Gu Junxiu already knew that she was being stubborn and soft-hearted, and didn't bother about it. He only thought back to when she wanted to rush out to block his sword for him, and taught him a lesson, "If you need this kind of thing in the future, you definitely can't do it again.

Ruan Xiaonuan pretended not to hear him and kept quiet. Right now, he could not move, nor did she possess any deterrent power. His words were like a clap of wind to her ears.

"Ruan Ruan, did you hear that?" Gu Junxiu said helplessly. Normally, he would have long ago pulled her to his side.

Ruan Xiaonuan muttered. He didn't hear it clearly, and was about to ask again when she quickly replied, "I understand." But after she gave him the water, she said, "Then why did you hug me without hesitation? If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have suffered such heavy injuries."

From her guilt from yesterday all the way to today, she pushed all the blame onto herself. Gu Junxiu looked at her tenderly and said in a warm tone, "Because you are my woman, I naturally will not see you getting hurt."

Seeing that he had stopped saying that she was his captive, Ruan Xiaonuan's heart felt as sweet as if he had drank honey. You didn't forget to tease me, "Now you know that I'm your woman? Not your captive? "

Gu Junxiu knew that she still harbored resentment in her heart. Embarrassment flashed across his face, and he didn't know how to answer her. He could only use a cold voice to say, "Don't spout nonsense."

But with his current sickly appearance, no matter how cold his tone was, it was useless against Ruan Xiaonuan. Seeing the awkward look on the other party's face, the smile on his face widened. When Gu Junxiu's face slowly turned black, she said, "I'll go bring the porridge over." After saying that, she immediately ran out.

Right after she left, Chu Ying arrived at the Proclamation of Liberation with a smile on her face and said with a face full of worry, "Your Highness, you have finally woken up. How are your injuries? "

Gu Junxiu looked at him impatiently, and said coldly, "This king is fine."

Ruan Xiaonuan very quickly brought over the breakfast. When she came in and saw Chu Ying standing there, a smile hung on her face, "Big sister is so considerate, to actually come and visit your highness so early."

His eyes drooped down, concealing the hatred in his eyes, and at the same time, wore a fake smile, "Sister, you've worked hard. Since you've taken care of this prince for an entire night, why don't you let me do it now?" After he finished speaking, he then helped himself to the porridge Ruan Xiaonuan had just brought over.

She gently placed the porridge next to Gu Junxiu's mouth. Seeing that she did not open his mouth for a long time, she could not help but say, "Is it not to your liking? This servant can cook a few delicious dishes, how about I cook them for Your Highness now? "

Ruan Xiaonuan stood behind them, and stared fiercely at her back. From time to time, she would glance at Gu Junxiu, as if warning him, "If he dares to eat, she'll teach him a lesson."

Gu Junxiu looked over Chu Ying's head and saw the message that was being conveyed through Ruan Xiaonuan's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

However, Chu Ying misunderstood. She thought that he was rejoicing because of what she had said just now, and said to Ruan Xiaonuan with an unconcealable pride, "Little Sister, the Prince doesn't like these things. It's best if you quickly take them away."

Ruan Xiaonuan glanced at her, and without a word, she picked up the porridge and prepared to leave. Before even reaching the door, Gu Junxiu said, "Wait!"

"Does Your Highness have any other orders?" If you listened carefully, you would know how sour her words were now.

Gu Junxiu coldly looked at Chu Ying, and said without holding back in the slightest, "This king does not need your service. If you have nothing else, you should return to Jin Xuan Residence."

She looked at him in shock, as if she was wondering if he was talking to Ruan Xiaonuan. She squeezed out a smile with much difficulty and said, "Your highness, little sister has waited for an entire night, she should be tired now. Let her go back and rest."

Seeing that she was entangled, Gu Junxiu's tone had already become extremely impatient, "You can leave."

When Chu Ying went out, her eyes were completely red. She hatefully thought about why Ruan Xiaonuan, as an ominous person, not only did she not receive any punishment, she was even able to openly accompany Gu Junxiu and obtain his favor?

Yet, he was chased out the moment he went in. He clearly had a clean background and was well-mannered. The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt. She no longer hesitated about the things that she had planned previously.

Right after Chu Ying left, just as Ruan Xiaonuan was about to feed the porridge, Xiao Fan came over again. She only loved bright clothes, so the moment she came in, Ruan Xiaonuan became her foil. Xiao Fan laughed and asked, "How are your injuries?"

Gu Junxiu coldly shook his head and did not speak. She felt a little unbalanced in his heart. He didn't understand why he would rather like a person with an unremarkable appearance. It seemed like even one more glance at his was unnecessary. It was just that she was not like Chu Ying who brought trouble upon herself. With great difficulty, she maintained her smile as she said, "Since the prince is fine, I will not disturb your recovery and will first take my leave."
