Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

When Gu Junxiu returned to the palace, he immediately headed towards the True Sun Palace without stopping. Before he even arrived, he saw Gu Qingcheng looking at him with a smile.

"You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Gu Junxiu remembered that the people of Xiyue Kingdom were living in peace and working happily recently, and there were no natural disasters or man-made disasters. Seeing the smile on his face, he thought it was some kind of joyous occasion and guessed, "Has Royal Brother decided to create an empress recently?"

No matter how many times the officials had said it, how many times they had written it, every time they had been rejected by him for various reasons, so it had been put on hold until now.

Gu Qingcheng shook his head, indicating that it was not like what he said. He suddenly took out a large scroll and stuffed it into Gu Junxiu's hands.

"Royal Brother, you want to choose a concubine?" Since it wasn't a post, then it was a consort.

Gu Qingcheng looked at him helplessly, knowing that he definitely did not care about this matter. He said with dissatisfaction, "Did we say a few days ago that we would choose a few concubine s for you? These are all portraits of those girls, are you satisfied with them? "

Gu Junxiu gave face and turned the pages one by one. They were all rare beauties, ordinary men would be satisfied with just one of them. However, he had only returned all of these back to him, feeling rather helpless.

"Royal Brother, I don't want to take you in as my concubine for the time being." Gu Qingcheng's temper was extremely good, but after hearing him keep rejecting his, he became a little angry, "Don't you see how old you are now? Why does it feel like you're talking to a eunuch everyday?"

Although the two of them were of the same father, he was still one of the few close relatives in this world to Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Junxiu actually didn't know what he was thinking right now. He only wanted to find that little fellow and teach her a lesson. As for the other things, he had no time to think about them.

But that was his elder brother, and he would not disobey his words. He only stood there silently, and allowed Gu Qingcheng to finish speaking. Then, he faintly said, "Regarding this matter, I will explain it clearly in the future."

Previously, he would not force him, but this time, it was as if he was determined to pick out a few women. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave this place today. Gu Junxiu was helpless, he could only choose a few of them at will. Even if they were in his palace, he would have the ability to chase them out.

Gu Qingcheng did not know what was going on, but seeing that he was finally willing to compromise, he finally smiled and said, "These few noble ladies are well-informed, if you like them, at that time, even if you want them to become principal wives, I have no objections."

Gu Junxiu nodded without a care, and after she passed the painting to him, he requested, "Royal Brother, is there anything else?"

Gu Qingcheng indifferently glanced at him, then spoke out, "I heard that you recently lost a eunuch in your palace, and you even let the imperial guards search the entire city, causing the capital to be in a state of panic."

Gu Junxiu did not know if he was angry now, nor was he angry.

Gu Qingcheng didn't believe him at all, and said with certainty, "The missing eunuch should be the Little Eunuch Ruan s of your palace."

This matter had recently become a hot topic in the palace. Although he had given the order, it was not enough for them to discuss in secret.

Seeing that he could guess, Gu Junxiu did not deny, because there were many things that could not be done secretly in the palace, so there was nothing strange about it. He nodded slightly, then said, "If there is any misunderstanding caused by the people, I will personally deal with it."

Gu Qingcheng did not care about this matter, he just felt that the eunuch leaving was not a good thing, but seeing that he seemed to be extremely anxious, he did not have anything to say, and waved him away.

In the time it took for him to enter the palace, Ruan Xiaonuan finally found out how to leave the capital. However, it was already late and the city gate was closed. She could only look at the door and sigh.

"Young lady, the city gates have been closed. Please come tomorrow morning." Seeing her loitering below the city walls, the soldiers on duty assumed that she had just arrived at the capital, so they didn't know the rules here and explained them meticulously.

Ruan Xiaonuan laughed, with heavy steps, she found the closest inn and planned to leave early the next morning.

Perhaps it was because she had been travelling all day, but she had almost immediately fallen asleep.

However, Gu Junxiu who was in the palace did not close his eyes for an entire night. Using his memories, he lifelike painted Ruan Xiaonuan, and then passed the painting to a guard to instruct, "Go and find all the painters in the capital and have them draw the people on top. Tomorrow, all the places in the capital will be plastered with people."

As long as she appeared, there would be people who would recognize her. To see where else she could flee to, Gu Junxiu's eyes were filled with determination. He quietly sat in the palace and waited for the arrival of the second day.

Finally, Ruan Xiaonuan no longer led a life like she did in the palace, like she did in the palace. She waited there at dawn.

But not long after, she saw the stack of papers in the hands of a soldier. She didn't dare step forward and could only stand behind the crowd to look, but because she was short, she could only see a portrait of herself.

She knew that the matter she was most worried about had happened. She didn't dare to stay here for long, so she quickly returned to the inn she was at earlier.

Right now, the entire capital was probably a portrait of her. If she just left like that, it would be very difficult for her to leave. After some thought, he finally had an idea.

When Ruan Xiaonuan came out again, she had already changed from a young girl to an old lady in her forties. Almost no one would think of her as being related to the person in the portrait.

Even so, she was still very nervous when she approached the city gate. When the officer carefully checked the situation and waved her away, she let out a sigh of relief.

He saw that the gate was right in front of him. He was so excited that he almost forgot she was still an old lady. He walked outside quickly.

Not long after she left, Gu Junxiu hurried over and jumped off his horse to grab the soldiers, asking, "Are there any suspicious people leaving the city?" Beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead. He looked extremely scared.

"Speak!" Gu Junxiu impatiently said. The person was so frightened by him that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Subordinate... Your subordinate did not see anyone suspicious. " Gu Junxiu revealed his doubt, there was clearly someone who saw the little fellow already leaving the city, why didn't they see it?
