Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"How is she now?" Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Gu Junxiu asked impatiently.

The elderly imperial physician was so frightened by her words that his heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to speak out the truth, so he put her hand down and told her, "This lady only has the chills. This subject will prescribe some medicine for her and it will be over very soon."

Gu Junxiu heaved a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his face loosened up quite a bit. When Zi Juan brought the imperial physician out, she cautiously instructed, "Treat what happened tonight as if nothing happened. If there is anyone else who knows about this, you don't have to be this imperial physician anymore."

Because the imperial physician had deceived him earlier, he did not even dare raise his head to look at him. After giving a slight nod, he immediately left the Zhaoyang Palace.

Other than Zi Juan and Gu Junxiu, no one else in the palace knew about Ruan Xiaonuan's female body. If it was exposed, there would definitely be people who would be able to find out about her identity.

Furthermore, the beads of perspiration on his face did not decrease but instead increased. Gu Junxiu pushed her and seeing that she had no reaction, he was suspicious and glared at her a few times, but in the end, he helped her wipe the perspiration on her face with great care.

As he was born a prince, he had never done anything to serve others. Although she did her best to control the strength in his hands, Ruan Xiaonuan still made an uncomfortable noise, and subconsciously avoided his hands.

Seeing her like this, Gu Junxiu could not help but increase the strength in his hands. Only when she stopped struggling did he finally recover his gentleness.

The next day, Ruan Xiaonuan was still in a coma. Her symptoms were the same as last night. Zi Juan carried a bowl of soup, and anxiously looked at the person on the bed. This was the third time she had come in, but every time she had gone out with a bowl of cold medicine.

After she left, she hurriedly went to the True Sun Hall and narrated the current situation of Ruan Xiaonuan with a worried expression. Gu Junxiu immediately lost the mood to continue discussing political matters with Gu Qingcheng. Standing in the middle of the Main Hall, he spoke in a neither haughty nor humble manner, "Your Majesty, the Chendi Palace has urgent matters, can you allow me to leave first?"

Gu Qingcheng and the other ministers all looked at him in surprise. Although he was the living King of Hell, he was more attentive in handling political matters than anyone else. He would never leave early in a situation like this.

Afraid that something might have happened, Gu Qingcheng asked caringly, "What happened?"

"A small matter." Gu Junxiu did not speak of the truth because after he found out, he was definitely not going to let him leave.

Seeing that he was not willing to say anything, Gu Qingcheng did not ask anymore and waved him off. After he left, the royal study seemed to have become less depressing, and the few ministers immediately burst into an uproar.

Gu Junxiu quickly returned to the Zhaoyang Palace. Seeing that Ruan Xiaonuan was still in a state of high fever, she furiously shouted to the guards outside, "Go and capture the royal physician that came to the Zhaoyang Palace last night for this king."

Not long after the guard left, he returned empty-handed and said with a perturbed voice, "Your highness, that imperial physician retired this morning. He should have left the capital by now."

Gu Junxiu's narrow and long phoenix eyes revealed a dangerous glint. He did not expect that a small imperial physician would dare play tricks in front of him, and coldly said, "You guys bring people to chase him, you must definitely find him. This king wants him to taste the consequences of deceiving this king."

They all knew what this meant and felt sympathy for the imperial physician who had already resigned. However, no one dared to say anything. It was obvious that he heard the words just now, and said with great difficulty, "The imperial physician is innocent. If it wasn't for the fact that I was afraid of you, he would not have done such a thing. If you want to blame something, then blame yourself."

Perhaps it was because she was sick, Gu Junxiu did not blame her for making him lose face by saying such words, and even made him return after going out to protect her.

After Ruan Xiaonuan finished speaking, she immediately fainted again. No matter how Gu Junxiu called out, he did not wake her up.

"Your Royal Highness, let the other imperial physicians come and see."

Zi Juan's words woke him up, and she immediately had the other imperial physicians come over, but no matter how they diagnosed, they all agreed that there was nothing wrong with her.

In the past few days, there had always been imperial doctors going in and out of Zhaoyang Palace and the news had silently spread out long ago. Gu Qingcheng asked as if he was chatting casually.

"Little Sheng, what happened in Zhaoyang Palace recently?" Although Eunuch Su was not very old, because he had always served Gu Qingcheng, when he ascended to the throne, he had naturally become the palace's head eunuch.

But in the Zhaoyang Palace, he had never dared to inquire about it. Thus, when Gu Qingcheng asked him about this, he could only lower his head, "Regarding the matters concerning Prince Yu, this servant does not dare to ask about it."

"Will I still not know how good you are?" Gu Qingcheng joked, revealing his modesty.

Eunuch Su smiled helplessly towards this. He did not nod or say anything else. He only suggested, "Your Imperial Majesty, if you are worried, why don't you personally go?"

Gu Qingcheng thought for a while and agreed to his suggestion. On the way, he suddenly thought about the Young Eunuch that caused an uproar a while ago, and slowed down his steps and asked, "Do you have an impression of the Little Eunuch Ruan beside Prince Yu?

"Eunuch Su knew what his master was thinking, he answered truthfully," His Highness took him directly to the palace and has been by his side ever since. This servant only remembers that he's a small person, as for his character, this servant doesn't know. "

Gu Qingcheng did not ride on the palanquin. He walked for a while before he reached Zhaoyang Palace. When Zi Juan saw him, he was extremely shocked. He purposely spoke loudly so that Gu Junxiu, who was inside, could hear him.

"I have nothing better to do today, so I came to see you in your royal brother's palace. Is there anything inconvenient about it?" Gu Junxiu was dressed in a white robe and had a silver mask on his face.

"Your Imperial Majesty, please feel free." Seeing that he did not seem to be sick, Gu Qingcheng could not help but guess in his heart.

His face didn't change as he asked, "I heard that you've been asking for an imperial physician in your palace recently. Did something happen?"

"Royal Brother is overthinking it!" Gu Junxiu still said indifferently. As for the real reason, he did not plan to reveal it.

Gu Qingcheng was especially concerned about when he would be able to get married.
