Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

After Gu Qingcheng left, Ruan Xiaonuan pouted and said unhappily, "Why do you disapprove of my words?" This feeling of not being recognized by others made her feel extremely uncomfortable, especially when this person was Gu Junxiu.

"You misunderstand." he said helplessly. Little did he know that to Ruan Xiaonuan, these words were tantamount to not saying anything at all.

"Right now, you have already become a thorn in the side of many people. If you don't avoid the sharp tip of the blade, there will only be more and more people who will be unhappy with you." Gu Junxiu could only patiently explain.

Ruan Xiaonuan seemed to be deep in thought. She could roughly understand his intention, but she was still dissatisfied as she spoke, "Even so, I only said those words in front of Your Majesty."

"In this palace, other than This King, do not trust anyone else." His tone turned colder. Because her words just now meant that she did not treat Gu Qingcheng as an outsider, and this made his heart sour.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not notice the momentary change in him, and looked at him with Xi Yi's eyes, "Then, do you believe what I said?"

"Your words are not unreasonable." She smiled proudly and said happily, "I knew that my guess was correct." Gu Junxiu smiled lightly, a doting look could be seen in his eyes.

Regarding the rumors in the palace, Ruan Xiaonuan had long guessed who it was, it was just that it did not bring about any big trouble, so she did not take it to heart. However, Gu Junxiu and Gu Qingcheng's awakening made her think that they were in the ancient times, and they believed in these superstitious things.

However, Chu Ying had been shut in and out of the house recently, so under extreme helplessness, she could only personally go to Jin Xuan Residence. When Yu Er saw that it was her, she ran in flusteredly and said with an unsteady breath, "Miss, Qing … Lady Qing Luan is here. "

Chu Ying was shocked. Everyone in Zhaoyang Palace knew that the two of them had some past conflicts and had never stepped into each other's territory. This was the first time Ruan Xiaonuan had crossed borders. A trace of a smile that had an unknown meaning floated onto her lips as she said to Yu Er, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and prepare some tea."

Ruan Xiaonuan saw Chu Ying standing at the door to welcome her with a smile, and went straight to the point: "Chu Ying, everyone knows what our relationship is, so you don't have to pretend to be good."

Chu Ying's face instantly stiffened as she barely managed to use a calm voice to speak, "You wouldn't have come here if you had nothing to do. What are you doing here today?"

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her coldly, and asked strangely: "Why have I come, don't you know? What did you do yourself? "

"I don't understand what you're saying. You rarely come to my Jin Xuan Residence, could it be that you're here to argue with me?" How could Chu Ying admit it so easily? Furthermore, she didn't say anything now, if it was Ruan Xiaonuan's trap, wouldn't she jump right in?

Right at this moment, Yu Er walked over with a cup of brewed tea. Chu Ying received it and calmly said, "No matter what your motive is today, all of you who have come are guests. Please drink some tea."

Ruan Xiaonuan saw her red nails and slender fingers as she handed the cup to her. She thought to herself, you really think I'm one of those women from the ancient times. I've read so much about these things in novels. However, if she rejected directly, it would be too sudden. She pretended to take the tea and put it aside, "I already said, you don't need to give me these fake things."

"This is my way of treating people from primary school. Don't you know that?" Chu Ying sarcastically replied.

She seemed to be helpless, she finally picked up the cup and the anxiety in Chu Ying's eyes disappeared. It seemed like this cup of tea did indeed contain something else! She made as if to drink it, but then, as if suddenly remembering something, she put it down and said, "I'm not here for tea."

Chu Ying's eyes flashed with annoyance, and with an impeccable smile she said, "Are you afraid of the poison in the tea?"

After she finished speaking, she lightly took a sip of his cup and calmly asked, "You should be relieved now, I'm not stupid enough to poison you in my own palace."

Ruan Xiaonuan seemed to think that what she said was reasonable and gulped the tea down in one gulp. She said embarrassedly, "I am a barbarian. I don't know how to taste tea, so I can only drink like a cow."

Chu Ying was pleased with the success of his scheme, but she managed to hide it extremely well, and continued to speak with a smile: "Miss Qing Luan is joking, how could you be a barbarian in the eyes of the duke?"

When she heard this, she felt goosebumps all over her body. He didn't want to continue the conversation with her so he hurriedly went to the main topic at hand. "What are the rumors about me in the palace?"

Chu Ying had already planned to not admit it no matter what, so she said in a daze, "What did you say? "I've been reading Buddhist scriptures in Jin Xuan's residence recently. What happened outside?" When she said till here, she looked at Yu Er, and her tone became more severe, "Yu Er, what's going on?"

Being stared at like that for no reason at all, Yu Er began to speak while trembling, "Everyone in the palace is saying …"

"What are you saying? I'm hesitating." Chu Ying could not resist asking anxiously.

Yu Er glanced at the expressionless Ruan Xiaonuan, and finally said: "They are all saying that Miss Qing Luan is an ominous person."

Chu Ying suddenly realized something, and muttered to herself, "So that's what happened." She then asked curiously, "I just found out about this, do you suspect that I'm spreading it?" she said preemptively.

To this, Ruan Xiaonuan could only sigh, her acting skills were too good. She said unhurriedly, "Miss Chu, could it be that you forgot what you said before the empress dowager the day that the prince was injured?" At that time, she had pointed directly at her nose and said that she was an ominous person.

The embarrassment on Chu Ying's face quickly disappeared, and she quickly explained, "I was also worried about the Prince's injuries, so I kept my mouth shut. I never thought that you would actually take such a small matter to heart." These words were out of ridicule for Ruan Xiaonuan's lack of tolerance.

"I did not treat this as a small matter. After all, before you, no one had said such a thing." Ruan Xiaonuan grabbed onto this tightly. See how long she can keep it up, she thought.

"Maybe I'm not the only one who thinks that. Isn't it too arbitrary for you to push everything onto me?" Chu Ying wasn't an easy target, how could he let her do as she pleased so easily?

"Miss Chu is such a good acting, I feel ashamed of myself." Ruan Xiaonuan suddenly changed the topic of the conversation, praising from the bottom of her heart.

However, in Chu Ying's ears, these words did not sound like a compliment, but there were no flaws in her words. She could only follow what she said, "You're too kind."
