Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Gu Junxiu had been practicing martial arts all year round, and his body's condition was good. Although the wound looked very severe, after a few days, the wound started to scab, and he didn't need to continue lying down.

When Ruan Xiaonuan entered the room, she saw that he was able to stand on the ground, and asked worriedly, "Is your wound no longer painful?"

Gu Junxiu nodded, but Ruan Xiaonuan suddenly struck the place he was injured at. He took a deep breath, and was about to speak. "I remember who it was that day!"

He felt a dull pain in his chest and asked uninterestedly, "Who are you talking about?"

Ruan Xiaonuan saw that he was not in a hurry and quickly replied, "The person who assassinated us."

Hearing that, Gu Junxiu frowned, and asked in shock: "How did you know?"

Although he suspected the identity of this group of people, he did not find any clues.

"The person who kidnapped me is the Ying Ying we met in Red House." Ruan Xiaonuan said with certainty.

"How can you be sure? The person who appeared that day was a man. " Gu Junxiu had doubts in his heart. It was impossible for the Red House to let a man become the Courtesan Belle.

"I can't possibly have heard wrongly. His voice is somewhat similar to Ying Ying's." Ruan Xiaonuan knew that he could not believe it, and revealed a somewhat anxious expression.

"Even so, he cannot be determined to be an assassin with just a similar voice." Gu Junxiu also wanted to find the assassin as soon as possible, but what she said was indeed a little absurd, causing people to have no choice but to suspect.

Ruan Xiaonuan was getting anxious, and said in a broken tone, "If you don't believe me, then forget it." After she finished speaking, she actually rushed out of the door.

"I heard that a monster appeared in the imperial harem?" Gu Qingcheng asked indifferently.

Somehow, these words had reached him. Noble Consort Guan could only recount the cause and effect of this matter. Seeing that Gu Qingcheng's brows were slightly knitted, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty does not need to worry about this matter, your consort will definitely investigate it thoroughly."

Noble Consort Guan did not know Gu Junxiu's attitude towards this matter, so she treated the matter of Ruan Xiaonuan coldly, so as to not offend someone she should not have offended.

But other than frowning, Gu Qingcheng did not say a word about it. It was just that on the second day, he suddenly visited the Zhaoyang Palace, leaving Su Desheng to accompany him.

"Ah Xiu, how is your wound recovering?" Gu Qingcheng spoke first.

"He's jumping up and down now." Ruan Xiaonuan was dissatisfied that he was not willing to believe her words, since her tone of voice was a little aggressive. However, just as she finished speaking, Gu Junxiu shot him a glance. She made a face at him and ignored their conversation.

Gu Qingcheng was amused by her strange movements and asked curiously, "How did Ah Xiu jump up and down?" He really wanted to know why she would describe him in such a way. Everyone knew that Prince Yu would always remain silent.

Seeing that someone was finally willing to listen, Ruan Xiaonuan beamed with joy and said, "That's right …"

"Qing Luan!" Gu Junxiu's loud shout caused her to instantly become like a frosted eggplant as she sat there dejectedly.

It was rare for Gu Qingcheng to see a similar awkward expression appearing on his usually cold little brother's face, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"When it's just the three of us in the future, let's call her Ruan Xiaonuan. When we hear about this Qing Luan, we always feel that it's weird." The moment Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, Ruan Xiaonuan immediately echoed, "I had thought of this long ago, but someone had always disagreed. Your Majesty is wise. " When she said this, she glared at this' someone 'with indignation.

After chatting for a long while, Gu Qingcheng finally got to the main topic of coming here today. He straightened his face and asked: "Have you two heard of the recent rumours in the palace?"

Ruan Xiaonuan had been running around crazily all day, so she had known about it. It was just that she did not care about it at all, "It's just a few meaningless words from someone, and there have been many of these already.

Unlike her optimism, Gu Junxiu said as he tightly furrowed his brows, "If this matter is not handled well, you will truly be treated as an ominous person." Ruan Xiaonuan saw that he was not joking around and could not help but to ask, "What will the consequences be?"

"If it's light, I'll enter the cold palace. If it's heavy, I'll be burned to death." As usual, it replaced his answer.

Ruan Xiaonuan was deep in thought. She thought that the Empress Dowager had let her off that day and the matter was cleared up just like that. She didn't care at first, thinking that after a while, when their enthusiasm subsided, everything would be fine. She never expected that they would value this matter so highly, even Gu Qingcheng himself had come to ask about this matter.

Gu Junxiu saw that her expression was strange and thought that the words just now had scared her. He couldn't help but say, "If no one was behind this, it would be impossible for something like this to happen."

A person immediately surfaced in Ruan Xiaonuan's mind, it was just that she did not say it out loud in front of them.

"I hope that you all can investigate this matter as soon as possible. If you all end up with an ominous crime, it would be too late by then." Gu Qingcheng said his last sentence.

"Has there been any news from Dongqing Kingdom recently?" Gu Junxiu had not been in court for a few days, so he asked.

However, Gu Qingcheng did not reply him, but looked at his wounds and asked, "Who do you think sent those assassins?"

"Royal Brother suspects that it is Dongqing Kingdom?" Gu Junxiu asked without any mishaps.

"Why did you visit the brothel that day?" Without waiting for his answer, Gu Qingcheng continued, "It's about Xiao Ce right? During his time in the Xiyue Kingdom, he went to the Red House the most, is it for fun or something? This is interesting. "

Gu Junxiu completely agreed with what he said, and repeated the scene where he saw Ying Ying that day. After he finished speaking, Ruan Xiaonuan could not wait and said, "That Ying Ying is obviously suspicious, he is the leader of the assassins."

"Ruan Ruan, don't speak nonsense." Gu Junxiu berated.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingcheng was quite interested in her guesses and asked her, "How are you sure?"

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't say that her voice was similar this time. She didn't even look at Gu Junxiu as she spoke frankly with assurance, "At that time, I was kidnapped by him and had close contact with him in the Red House. It was impossible for me to recognize wrongly."

After Gu Qingcheng heard these words, he fell silent for a long while, before he finally said, "If that's really the case, then the people from Dongqing Kingdom can have their hearts destroyed."

"Royal Brother must not listen to her nonsense. "It has yet to be confirmed." Gu Junxiu didn't give Ruan Xiaonuan any face at all, as if she was a little kid playing around.
