Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"Could it be that one of the beauties in the Zhaoyang Palace is sick? No wonder you left in such a hurry that day. "

Gu Junxiu did not say anything, tacitly agreeing to his words. He knew that he would only do this to save trouble, and would not let them focus their gazes on Ruan Xiaonuan. Gu Qingcheng didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing that he was finally going to show mercy, he happily drank her tea. Seeing that it was all Zi Juan who was busy doing everything here, he curiously asked, "Where is that Young Eunuch in your palace?"

The reason he asked this was purely because he wanted to know what she looked like. Maybe he could think of a way to keep Gu Junxiu away from her. However, even when he looked left and right, he could not find any sign of the Young Eunuch, as most of the people here were palace maids.

A few days passed and Ruan Xiaonuan was still unconscious, only occasionally her words would wake up. But she woke less and less and less.

Gu Junxiu used the excuse that his body was unwell and stayed in the Zhaoyang Palace every day. Even so, her condition had not improved.

Because of Ruan Xiaonuan, the atmosphere in the Zhaoyang Palace was dark and gloomy every day. No one dared to speak loudly or smile because they were afraid that Gu Junxiu would vent his anger on them.

However, what was funny was that no one knew why their master suddenly became so unapproachable. They could only see the imperial physician the next day, thinking that it was Gu Junxiu's body that was in trouble.

There was no wall in the palace that could not be blown with the wind. News about Gu Junxiu being infected with the poison spread at a rapid pace, one to ten times, and very quickly, it spread throughout the palace.

Even Gu Qingcheng had been alarmed. He didn't appear in Zhaoyang Palace again every few days, so when he saw Gu Junxiu lying on the bed with a pale complexion and closed eyes … He nervously asked the imperial physician, "How is Prince Yu now?"

The royal doctors were all silent. Under Gu Junxiu's arrangements, although the royal doctors came to treat Ruan Xiaonuan, no one knew about her female body. They still had no way to deal with the illness on his body. Gu Qingcheng shouted angrily, "A bunch of useless doctors!"

Gu Junxiu was not only his little brother, he was also the Xiyue Kingdom's War God. If the news of him being poisoned was known by a few enemy nations that were eyeing him covetously, the Xiyue Kingdom would have a great disaster.

Gu Qingcheng frowned and left the Zhaoyang Palace, completely sealing off the news. The people outside the palace did not know anything, but the paper could not contain the fire, so the poison in Gu Junxiu's body had to be dealt with first. He immediately called over a few of his trusted ministers and told them about this matter.

When they heard this, their thoughts were almost the same as Gu Qingcheng's. Although the prosperity of the Xiyue Kingdom far surpassed that of other places, other than Gu Junxiu, there was no other general who was worthy of the big responsibility. If something really happened to him, when the other nations allied together, the Xiyue Kingdom would have no chance of winning.

"What are your opinions, love letter?" Gu Qingcheng asked worriedly.

Shangguan Yun was not only the prime minister, he was also an elder of the three dynasties and had heard many strange incidents. He quickly suggested, "Your Majesty isn't going to make an edict like this, with great rewards as enticements. Have everyone in the world give it a try."

As soon as he said that, the rest nodded their heads, Gu Qingcheng had no other choice but to agree.

When the imperial edict was spoken, the world was in an uproar. It was unknown if that noble within the palace could receive so much attention from His Majesty. This was because Gu Qingcheng had deliberately concealed the truth about Gu Junxiu, and had been replaced by the people of the later palace.

As long as no one else was around, Gu Junxiu would immediately recover. To Liu Ming, maintaining his pale complexion was as easy as flipping his palm. Even the imperial physician would not be able to discern any clues from it.

He also had the ability to find strange people outside the palace, but he could not find any reason, so he could only come up with this plan.

From the very first day that the decree came out, Hua Qingse had heard about it from the servant. From the moment she had met Gu Junxiu, he had never given up on that thought. But because he was outside the palace, he could not even meet him face to face.

Although she did not know who the edict was, as long as she could enter the palace, she would be able to make Gu Junxiu admire him. Therefore, Hua Qingse unhesitatingly took down the Emperor Board and immediately packed her luggage and entered the palace.

"Are you the person who took off the Emperor Board this afternoon?" Gu Qingcheng looked at him suspiciously because he looked way too young, much younger than the imperial doctors in the palace.

Hua Qingse seemed to understand his thoughts, she did not care at all and spoke with confidence, "Your Majesty, may I ask, is it that the imperial doctors are helpless against these nobles?"

Gu Qingcheng nodded, but in his heart, he still did not believe him.

"You know how to cure poisons?" Hua Qingse nodded her head. What his master learned from Chu Luo was all sorts of things, she had learned a little about detoxifying poisons and a lot of things.

He was the first person to enter the palace. Although Gu Qingcheng did not believe in his abilities, he did not say it explicitly, and allowed him to enter the Zhaoyang Palace. When Hua Qingse saw that the person lying on the bed was Gu Junxiu, her heart filled with shock.

"This is the Prince Yu, take a look at what poison he has been poisoned with." He was still wearing his mask, so he couldn't see his face, and could only check his pulse.

Strangely, however, he felt as if his pulse had been deliberately suppressed, as if someone had deliberately created a sign of poisoning. His heart was filled with doubts, but he remained calm and collected, "Your Majesty, this commoner needs to calm his Highness's heart and treat him."

Gu Qingcheng saw that his face did not look like he had no leads, and so he led his men out.

But just now, Hua Qingse understood why his pulse was so strange. He said with certainty, "Your Highness, there is no one else here, you do not need to pretend to be poisoned. This commoner has a little knowledge about internal energy, and knows that doing so will consume a lot of your internal energy."

A surprised expression appeared on Gu Junxiu's face under the mask. Because he did not know the identity of the man, he still showed signs of being poisoned. Hua Qingse knew that he did not believe her, so she said, "I wonder if Your Highness has heard of Chu Luo? A while ago, His Highness even saw me when he was in the capital. "

When he finished speaking, Gu Junxiu finally had a bit of an impression. He finally sat up and said, "You are Chuluo's disciple?" He had asked him about this once, but the last time he was worried about Ruan Xiaonuan, he did not take this person to heart.

Hua Qingse saw that he had finally woken up, which meant that he was willing to believe him. However, recalling his bold words just now, she hurriedly said, "Just now, this commoner was too careless with his words, I hope that Your Highness does not blame me!" He respectfully lowered his head and said in a neither humble nor haughty manner.
