When Ruan Xiaonuan heard this reply, she inwardly rolled her eyes. "I'm just a small eunuch. This is my duty, and you said so."

Although she was speaking very plainly, Gu Junxiu didn't know why, but he was unexpectedly able to hear her pouting tone. A large portion of the anger in his heart was gone, as he looked at her teasingly, "Are you jealous?"

Ruan Xiaonuan kept her head down the entire time and did not answer.

Gu Junxiu thought that she had acknowledged it, the enmity that had been building for so many days had finally been resolved. A smile appeared on his beautiful face that was even more beautiful than a woman. He recklessly pulled her into his embrace and whispered into her ear, "Don't worry, This King still doesn't plan on giving up on you."

She struggled in his arms and was firmly held there.

This time, her escape was over. The two of them acted the same as before, Ruan Xiaonuan continued to live the life of a Rice Worm, and because of this, various kinds of rumors spread out from the palace.

The news about Prince Yu liking a Young Eunuch had also spread throughout the Zhaoyang Palace. When Chu Ying heard this news, she held the handkerchief in her hand, wishing that she could rip it apart immediately.

He never thought that he would hear this. If Prince Yu really liked it, then what was the point in putting in so much effort? But she could not believe, no matter how much she tried, that someone high above her had done this, and she decided that he would not allow it to happen.

After a few days of living with bugs, Ruan Xiaonuan had no idea what was going on in the palace. Until Gu Junxiu looked at her playfully. "I heard that recently in the palace there was a rumor that this king was addicted to having his sleeves cut off?"

She pretended not to know anything and asked in confusion, "Ah? I didn't know about that. "

He stared into her eyes and asked earnestly, "I know the reason, the source is one of the Young Eunuch s."

She turned pale and said in embarrassment, "Really? Then, Your Highness, have you found out who it is? "

Gu Junxiu pretended to be thinking, then he said, "After thinking about it, this king feels that there seems to be no one else in the Young Eunuch other than you."

At this point, she knew that he already knew about this matter, and she muttered in a low voice.

"What I said was the truth."

These words were heard by Gu Junxiu and he said in a dangerous tone, "Since that's the case, this king might as well let this matter be true."

At the same time, Chu Ying did not sleep for the whole night, and recalled all the eunuchs around Gu Junxiu once, and in the end, only her pretty face was left in her mind, with a calculating look in her eyes.

The next day, when Ruan Xiaonuan woke up, her entire body was sore. In her heart, she fiercely cursed at Gu Junxiu. After calming down for a good while, she slowly got up from the bed.

Zi Juan, who had just finished tidying up and was often attending to her, spoke out from outside, "Little Eunuch Ruan, something has happened at Miss Chu's place. Please go and take care of it."

She was now the head eunuch of the Zhaoyang Palace, coming to find her for small matters. Ruan Xiaonuan sighed in her heart, dragged her heavy footsteps and walked over to Chu Ying's residence, then asked weakly: "Miss Chu, what do you want?"

She did not have a deep impression of this Chu Ying. If Gu Junxiu had not asked for her name that day, she would not be able to remember who she was. He had thought that today was the day these women were scheming again. However, when he came over, he only saw her sitting there drinking tea. He was extremely puzzled.

Chu Ying picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip. With a friendly smile on her face, she asked, "Little Eunuch Ruan, how do I taste this tea?"

Chu Ying hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's just that I want to understand the situation in the palace, seeing that my father-in-law has a good face."

This was not a difficult matter, and when they entered the palace, they had all asked her this question one after another. Thus, she skillfully told her about every detail of the palace.

After saying all these, his mouth was already dry. He casually picked up the tea on the table and gulped it down. He did not notice the smile that appeared in Chu Ying's eyes when she looked over. He immediately smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you, Eunuch." "If not for you, I would still be in a daze. Now that you've explained the rules of this palace, there will definitely be no mistakes in the future."

Ruan Xiaonuan took a deep breath and waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. She waited until her throat was a little clearer before she opened her mouth and said, "If there's nothing else, I will be leaving first." Chu Ying's goal was achieved, so she did not continue to let her stay here. With a smile on her face, she sent her out of the door.

When Ruan Xiaonuan returned to the main hall, she felt like falling asleep. As she had slept too late last night, she didn't mind and just lay down on her bed.

When Gu Junxiu returned to the Zhaoyang Palace from the imperial study, he did not see Ruan Xiaonuan anywhere in the hall. He could not help but ask Zi Juan, "Where did the little guy go?"

"It seems like he has been sleeping ever since he returned from Miss Chu's place." He immediately walked into the room and saw the person lying on the bed. Her face was flushed and covered with sweat. His heart tightened. He tested the temperature of her forehead and found that her palm was scorching.

"Zi Juan, go and get the imperial physician." There was an almost imperceptible hint of anxiety in his voice.

Not long after, the imperial physician arrived, trembling. He was about to bow when Gu Junxiu quickly stopped him and asked, "Quickly go take a look, what happened to her?"

The imperial physician was terrified of him. Even when he was taking his pulse, his hands could not help but tremble. However, no matter how much he tried to diagnose her, he was unable to see that there was anything wrong with her body.

The Imperial Physician's face continuously broke out in cold sweat. Seeing Gu Junxiu, who was wearing a mask, standing in the darkness, his voice was very soft, "Your Highness, there's nothing wrong with her."

When he heard this, his eyes widened a little as he asked in disbelief, "If she doesn't have any problems, why is she like this?"

He pointed to the cold sweat on her forehead and found it hard to believe what he had just said.

"Give me a diagnosis." The imperial physician did not dare to retort and could only continue to hold Bai's hand. However, the result was still the same. He hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
