Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

After Esteemed Empress Dowager finished listening to Noble Consort Guan's story, her heart was filled with waves of shock. "Do you have any evidence?" If there was any tangible evidence, she would definitely drive that scourge out of the palace.

Only the Noble Consort Guan shook his head in shame and said guiltily, "Chenqie is only guessing, but I have to be on guard against it. If everything goes wrong, it would be too late."

The empress dowager thought for a moment. So it was because she wanted his to be the leader, but her words were not without reason. She sat at the head of the table and said majestically, "Only you and I know about this. If the other people in the palace were to know about this, I would question you."

When Noble Consort Guan heard this, she already knew that her intentions had been seen through by the empress dowager. She didn't dare refute her and could only submit.

When it was almost noon, Ruan Xiaonuan took the drawing that she had finished drawing overnight and rushed to Hall of Mental Cultivation. Seeing a dignified dressed woman not far away, only after looking carefully did they realize it was the Noble Consort, and quickly bowed. "This servant greets the Noble Consort Empress."

He didn't expect that Noble Consort Guan, who refused to see anyone within a thousand miles, would actually personally help her up. With a smile, he said, "There's no need to be so courteous." However, the smile on her face did not reach her eyes.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her in shock, and did not speak carelessly. The Noble Consort Guan continued to ask, "Are you looking for His Majesty?"

If she were to raise her head, she would definitely be able to see the cold glint in Noble Consort Guan's eyes. However, she knew nothing at all, so she asked affectionately: "Is the Noble Consort Empress here to look for His Majesty as well?"

She smiled, hiding all the emotion in his eyes. He then said kindly, "I was just passing by, I didn't expect to meet Miss Qing Luan by chance."

Although everyone in the palace knew that she was Ruan Xiaonuan, with the Emperor and Prince Yu above, no one dared to refute her, and the Noble Consort was the same.

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't know how to reply, and could only echo her words, "Yes, what a coincidence."

The Noble Consort suddenly took a few steps forward, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Miss Xiao Lu, do you know the most intolerable person in the palace?" Ruan Xiaonuan subconsciously shook her head.

"A restless person!"

Noble Consort Guan left with a dignified smile after saying a few words. , who was left behind, stood there with a baffled expression, and kept thinking about what she meant by her last sentence.

"Miss, why are you standing in the doorway?" Su Desheng's voice interrupted her.

"Nothing, I'm afraid of disturbing Your Majesty." Su Desheng snorted softly, thinking to himself, if you still knew that you would disturb His Majesty, then you wouldn't bother him with such a small matter.

When Ruan Xiaonuan went in, she was reading a report. She couldn't help but sigh. "The Emperor isn't a good worker either. His daily working hours exceed the prescribed time limit."

He didn't quite understand her words, so he couldn't help but ask, "Do you think it's a good idea to be the emperor?"

Ruan Xiaonuan shook her head without even thinking. In her opinion, this was the most tiring matter. One couldn't go to bed late and wake up early, and had to face all sorts of schemes and schemes. It was no wonder that most Emperors died young.

Gu Qingcheng looked at her strangely. Many people were fighting for this position, but they had never heard of someone being so disdainful.

"Don't you want to be able to control everyone's lives?" After Gu Qingcheng asked this question, he stared intently at Ruan Xiaonuan's face, feeling that it was better than any of the changes in her emotions.

"Your Majesty, everyone is equal. Apart from the law, there is no one else who can determine a person's life and death. No one else has any reason to interfere." She couldn't help but speak out her inner thoughts.

This was bound to be shocking, because Gu Qingcheng, who had always been a modest gentleman, widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "If a person's life and death are in his own hands, then isn't this monarch useless?"

Seeing that he was interested, Ruan Xiaonuan couldn't help but say a little more, "Of course the king has a use for it. He is responsible for choosing the wise and creating a law that is useful for everyone.

Although Gu Qingcheng felt that her words were universally shocking and that no one had ever been so bold before, in his heart, he felt that there was some sort of reasoning behind her words. However, he still had doubts in his mind as he continued to ask, "Even if they act according to the law, the final decision will still be made by the person in power."

Ruan Xiaowang looked at him approvingly. He truly deserved to be called the emperor of a few years. He was able to tell what was going on with a single glance. She cleared her throat and continued, "Even so, the king cannot casually decide a person's life or death. He cannot execute an innocent person just because he's in a bad mood or because he's in his own interests.

Gu Qingcheng thoughtfully nodded his head, and asked again, "But what if the king does not wish to follow the law?"

"Then we'll need the censor to supervise the king's misdeeds."

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng still had more questions, he quickly reached out his hand and said, "Stop it, stop it, I'm not here to discuss how to govern the country with you, let's put this issue on the next time."

After she finished speaking, she placed a stack of papers in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, you still remember what you promised me yesterday, right?"

Gu Qingcheng nodded, then turned to Su Desheng and said, "Bring Miss Qing Luan to the production board."

When Su Desheng was walking on the road, he looked at Ruan Xiaonuan as if he did not recognize him. She asked curiously, "Eunuch Su, is there something on my face?"

Su Desheng hurriedly shook his head and stood to the side with a cold expression. After walking a long distance, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Qing Luan, why didn't you go and find the Duke for this matter?"

Ruan Xiaonuan rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "If he knew, he would definitely teach me again that I don't work properly."

Then you shouldn't have always come looking for His Majesty. You're already a married woman. Su Desheng thought. However, Ruan Xiaonuan was too slow at this kind of thing. No matter how he hinted at it, she did not react.

"You are just a girl, why do you work on these strange things every day?" Su Desheng had no other choice but to say this in the end.

Who would have thought that when Ruan Xiaonuan heard this, he would actually laugh so hard that her flowers were quivering. She gasped for breath and said, "My embroidery?" After she finished speaking, another round of laughter rang out.

Su Desheng had no other choice, the production situation was right in front of him, he said snappily, "We're here." Ruan Xiaonuan finally stopped smiling and started to size up the legendary manufacturing ground.
