Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"Ruan Ruan!" Gu Junxiu's voice seemed to have fallen from the sky, pulling Gu Qingcheng back to his senses. He tried his best to retract his hand and said embarrassedly, "Ah Xiu, you're here."

Gu Junxiu never expected that he would actually be here. "He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart as he asked calmly. Royal Brother, why are you here? " These words seemed to be filled with sarcasm.

Gu Qingcheng felt his displeasure, and understood that he definitely couldn't explain it clearly this time. Seeing that Ruan Xiaonuan's face was even redder, he quickly said, "Ah Xiu, don't worry about why we're here. She's got a fever now, quickly come and take a look."

Gu Junxiu looked at Ruan Xiaonuan suspiciously, hearing her keep on shouting for heat, he immediately understood that it was not as simple as having a fever. He said coldly, "Royal Brother, it's not early anymore. You should return to the Imperial Palace, and think about the country."

"Then what about her?" Gu Qingcheng glanced at Ruan Xiaonuan.

"She is my woman. I will take good care of her." He emphasized the words.

Gu Qingcheng sighed, he understood what he meant, and left the Wang Jiang Restaurant with a look full of worry.

Gu Junxiu heard his footsteps grow further away, then looked towards Ruan Xiaonuan who was lying in her arms. At some point in time, she had actually pulled down half of his pajamas, revealing a large portion of his smooth and clean skin. He was so agitated by the spring light that he could not think of anything else and focused on detoxifying himself.

On the second day, Ruan Xiaonuan woke up as soon as the sky brightened. She felt as if her whole body had been reorganized. There was not a single part of her that didn't hurt. Just as she was about to stretch, she suddenly saw a sturdy arm resting on her body. She did not cry out. She slowly looked up, and when she saw Gu Junxiu's face that looked like a celestial being, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up and wake up. Stop sleeping." Although she was relieved, she wasn't any better for someone who had been taken advantage of.

He looked at Ruan Xiaonuan who had opened her eyes wide with drowsy eyes, and said helplessly. "You slept half the night yesterday, how did you wake up now?"

Ruan Xiaonuan wanted to kick him, but just as she raised her leg, she felt a pain, and had no choice but to give up on this idea. With an unhappy expression, she said, "We already have nothing to do with each other. Why are you still on my bed?"

As for the rest, she didn't say anything. She wasn't an ordinary girl who didn't care about the affairs of the world. She already knew that she must have been eaten dry long ago.

Gu Junxiu was afraid that she would be cold, so he pulled her under the covers again and asked unclearly, "Last night, the one who took the initiative was not me."

His words seemed to have opened up Ruan Xiaonuan's memory valve, as the events from last night surfaced in her mind. She could not believe that the woman who did not know her own nightmares was her.

"I seemed to have been poisoned by Joyful Union Powder at that time, why was I poisoned?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked suspiciously.

Being played by him like this, Gu Junxiu did not feel sleepy anymore. He said helplessly, "With your brain, you don't even know how you were poisoned. No wonder they could hurt you so easily."

They seemed to have forgotten the matter of Gu Qingcheng's arrival last night. Since Gu Junxiu had not mentioned it, she would naturally not be foolish enough to touch the muzzle of the gun.

She absolutely believed that the people in the Wang Jiang Restaurant would not be able to harm her. She had only been to the Spring Breeze House yesterday, but she could not understand.

"How is it? Do you have any leads? " Gu Junxiu did not disturb her. Instead, he called out to her eyes for a moment and knew that she had already thought of it in his heart.

Ruan Xiaonuan thought about the relationship between the two and told him about the matter of the Spring Breeze House. Finally, she said, "Don't feel like this shopkeeper isn't trying to harm me."

Gu Junxiu was not as innocent as she was. He said coldly, "You don't know your own heart, because Wang Jiang Restaurant stole his business, so he harbors hatred in your heart. With the excuse of inviting you to tea, it's not impossible for you to poison it. "

Although Ruan Xiaonuan felt that his analysis was reasonable, her intuition told him that there was a secret behind it.

"If he wanted to harm me, why didn't he just poison me with poison, and instead did it with the Joyous Union Powder?" Ruan Xiaonuan said in confusion. As long as she found a man, Joyful Union Powder could immediately cure the poison, and then quickly become strong and vigorous. There was no meaning in that at all.

"Alright, stop thinking so much. Tonight, let's have Xiao Qi bring the people here to interrogate them and see what he can say." After Gu Junxiu finished speaking, he sat up on the bed.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him blankly, and thought, this person's body is truly good, it is even better than the male models she has seen.

"Wipe your saliva." Gu Junxiu quickly put on his clothes, and seeing her foolish look, he mocked.

Ruan Xiaonuan subconsciously wiped away the saliva that didn't exist, realizing that she was tricked, she casually threw the pillow on his body and pouted: "You liar."

Gu Junxiu easily dodged her attack. He placed the pillow on the bed and said, "It's still very early, sleep for a while longer. I'll come over again tonight."

Because Ruan Xiaonuan was mocked by him just now, she was simply covered by the blanket, and a buzzing sound came from inside.

Gu Junxiu laughed, and looked at the person who did not even reveal his head, and said: "Don't you feel stuffy inside the blanket?"

She did not answer and waited until she did not hear anything. Then, she stuck her head out of the window and took a few deep breaths.

It was late in the morning, and Nutmeg had been waiting outside for a long time with water in her hand. Still, she did not hear anything from inside. Just as she was about to open the door and enter, she was stopped by Mo Yan. If you feel tired, just sit there and wait. " She pointed to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

Nutmeg really did not understand and asked, "Why is Miss tired at night? "Could he be staying up late to look through the account books?"

Mo Yan looked at her awkwardly, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm just looking at the account books." Afraid that Nutmeg would continue to question her, she found an excuse and quickly left.

After a long while, Ruan Xiaonuan woke up from her hunger. She said weakly, "Come in."

Seeing that it was Nutmeg, she said sleepily, "Nutmeg, are you here to wash today? "Did you wait a long time?"

Nutmeg could feel that she was very tired, and that she cared so much about herself. He hurriedly said, "Miss, you better not read the account book at night. Not only will it hurt your eyes, it will also damage your body."

Ruan Xiaonuan was already confused, but after hearing her mindless words, she asked in surprise, "I didn't look at the account book last night, who told you this?"

"Sister Mo Yan." Nutmeg said simply.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Xiaonuan's face turned completely red in an instant. They must have heard some movement last night, she thought. She probably didn't need to go out to meet anyone today. Thinking that she might meet their meaningful eyes, she pretended to yawn before lying back down on the bed and saying indistinctly, "I still feel very sleepy, so I will continue to sleep for a while."

However, his stomach didn't listen to him. A clear voice resounded within the room. "Girl, you should get up and go get some food, then sleep later."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her awkwardly and thought, luckily you're still young, otherwise, she would rather lie in bed for the whole day. She could only sit up from the bed.

At this time, in the Duke Palaces, Chu Ying and Xiao Fan had sent people to guard the Wang Jiang Restaurant. When she saw that she had returned almost noon, Chu Ying could not help but ask, "How was it? Has Your Highness seen the ugly story of that woman? "

The person who was sent over was a maid who was slightly knowledgeable about martial arts beside Xiao Fan. She said rather awkwardly, "Princess, this servant saw the prince walk out of her room this morning."

These words were like a thunderbolt that struck the hearts of the two of them, making them feel heavy. Originally, they had already arranged for the man to sneak into the Wang Jiang Restaurant's backyard, intending to ruin Ruan Xiaonuan's innocence the moment the poison appeared. Then, she had planned to let Gu Junxiu see this scene, but was it a success or not? Neither of them had confidence in the other.

"Why isn't the person you arranged for back yet?" Xiao Fan asked impatiently.

That man was Chu Ying, the person Chu Luo left behind. She muttered, "Our plan is definitely correct. It is impossible for her to escape."

After a while, Chu Ying finally saw the figure who looked like a shadow.

That person shook his head and said to them, "Yesterday, after she was poisoned, there was a man in her room. I couldn't find an opportunity."

They all thought that the man he was referring to was Gu Junxiu, so not only did they not succeed, they even forcefully pushed Gu Junxiu onto Ruan Xiaonuan's bed. After chasing everyone out, Xiao Fan asked arrogantly, "Didn't you say there was no mistake? And now? Those people I sent can be trusted, so why would the Prince go ahead of time? "

Chu Ying was annoyed, how could she have the mind to listen to her complain? She impatiently said, "Your Highness is not someone I can control. If I could really do that, would I still need to put in so much effort?"

Xiao Fan was a prideful person to begin with. If not for the position of an imperial concubine, she would not even bother to cooperate with someone like Chu Ying. Now that her plan was exposed, he definitely wouldn't be laughing at them like before. Especially when she felt Chu Ying's impatience, she said in disdain, "With your abilities, you aren't even strong enough to fight against her, you better think carefully about what would happen if the Duke found out that this was arranged by you and me."

After all, she was the princess of the Dongqing Kingdom, so even if Gu Junxiu knew about it, he wouldn't be able to do anything to her. But Chu Ying was different. Although Hua Qingse was now deeply favored by the emperor, she was still a concubine. If Gu Junxiu knew about this, he would definitely give her no face.

Chu Ying looked at her dispiritedly, before saying with certainty, "You don't have to worry about this matter, the prince will definitely not know that it was us." She wouldn't be so stupid as to leave behind traces when doing things.

With her guarantee, Xiao Fan relaxed a little. She did not want to be carried back, and if it was like this, she would become the laughingstock of the entire Dongqing Kingdom.

When night was about to fall, Gu Junxiu punctually sat in Ruan Xiaonuan's room. She was shocked when he came in. Clutching his chest, he said, "Where did you come in from? Why didn't I see it? "

If one wanted to reach the backyard of the Wang Jiang Restaurant, they had to go through the restaurant. She had been standing there the entire time, and she hadn't seen his figure at all.

Gu Junxiu did not reply her, but pulled her to a chair beside him and said, "Xiao Qi, bring her in."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at the person in Xiao Qi's hands in shock. Only now did she remember what Gu Junxiu had said this morning, and thus, she shut her mouth and did not speak.

The shopkeeper looked at the person sitting on top, feeling shocked and confused. Confirming the rumors in the capital, the relationship between Wang Jiang Restaurant's female shopkeeper and Prince Yu was indeed not simple. He said fearfully, "This little one greets Prince Yu."

Gu Junxiu coldly glanced at him, and went straight to the point: "Why did you invite Miss Ruan to the Spring Breeze House for tea yesterday?"

Only now did the manager realize that he was used by someone else yesterday. How could that package of medicine be fine? If that was really the case, then he wouldn't be here anymore. Thinking about the consequences of angering the Prince Yu, he kneeled on the ground and said while trembling, "My lord, please spare my life. I am only here to invite Miss Ruan for some tea. "No poison."

"This King didn't say earlier that it was you who poisoned him." Gu Junxiu said leisurely.

Ruan Xiaonuan burst out laughing, she did not expect him to have such a personality, that face that was constantly covered in ice, looked like it was actually a little funny.

The tense atmosphere seemed to have been lightened by her smile. She asked gently, "I believe you won't poison it back. You probably don't know what's inside either."

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded his head and said aggrievedly, "There is a woman who gave me a packet of medicine and told me to put it in your tea." At first I didn't agree, but then she took a lot of silver and made sure it was free of poison, and I was tempted. Firstly, it is because Wang Jiang Restaurant has obstructed my business, and secondly, the amount of silver is really attractive. "

While he was speaking, Ruan Xiaonuan kept staring at him. Seeing that his eyes weren't averted, she could tell with a single glance that the other party wasn't lying. It was obvious that someone wanted to use the shopkeeper's hand to harm her. she asked eagerly. "Do you know what the woman who gave you the silver looked like?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "She was wearing a veil at that time, so I couldn't see her face."

A blurry figure appeared in Ruan Xiaonuan's heart, she pointed at herself and asked, "Is she a little taller than me?"

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head and recalled, "She is as tall as a lady."
