Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Only now did Ruan Xiaonuan understand the reality of the situation. So it wasn't that he had been imprisoned, but she had been imprisoned by Gu Junxiu's side, and could not leave him.

This fact did not make her happy, but instead made her feel terrified. If the real Bai Zhi came back one day, where would she go then? Thinking of the hopeless future, her tears began to flow even harder.

Although it was through the mask, Gu Junxiu heard her choked up voice. Instantly, he could not bear to reprimand him and softly said, "What's wrong? I only said a few words, don't cry. "

Ruan Xiaonuan acted as if she did not hear it. Not only did his words not lessen her grief, it had made her even more sorrowful.

Gu Junxiu had no other choice but to embrace her and give her a silent consolation. Ruan Xiaonuan coveted his warmth, but was unable to find a single word to say about Bai Zhi.

"Let's try to guess the riddle." After a moment, her voice returned to normal, though she never took off her mask to prevent him from seeing her horribly red eyes.

Gu Junxiu heartache pulled her hand, and nodded lightly, walking forward.

Because what happened with Ruan Xiaonuan earlier, had already started by many people, but no one was able to obtain that most beautiful flower lantern.

"Ah Xiu, take a look at this." Ruan Xiaonuan thought for a long time as she held onto a piece of paper. There was no answer, so she had no choice but to turn to Gu Junxiu.

"Jiu Yu Chu Qing, type one word." She told him the riddle.

"Yesterday." He replied without hesitation.

"How do you know?" I haven't thought of it for a long time. " Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him with stars in her eyes.

Gu Junxiu caressed her head and said gently, "Which one do you want?"

With him joining the group, it was as if she had divine help. Ruan Xiaonuan held onto a few lanterns, but in the end, she couldn't hold them back, so she simply gave them to others. Not long after, they finished guessing all the lantern riddles. She held the lantern in satisfaction, ignored the man's dark face, and said to Gu Junxiu, "So many people couldn't even get a lantern, this shopkeeper must have suffered a huge loss meeting us."

Gu Junxiu saw that she was smiling like a fox who had succeeded, and laughed helplessly. Before they had even taken a few steps, Ren Deming had already stood in front of them and said in a hurry, "My prince, I has finally found you."

"My daughter is looking for fault, and clamoring to see Your Highness, I has no other choice, I can only trouble you to make a trip to the Palace." He spoke very quickly. His face was filled with the worry of a father towards his daughter, and he didn't seem like he was lying.

Gu Junxiu pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's go."

Ruan Xiaonuan naturally followed along, but when Ren Deming saw her, he said, "This must be Miss Ruan." She smiled a greeting.

When Gu Junxiu held her and continued walking, who knew that Ren Deming would actually say, "Miss Ruan, can you stay? I is afraid that when my daughter sees you, she will lose control of her emotions."

Ruan Xiaonuan glanced at him, and said in an especially straightforward manner, "Alright, then I won't go."

Ren Deming intentionally did not want her to go, so how could she not understand? But could not be at ease leaving her alone in a place he was unfamiliar with.

"It's fine, don't worry. "Hurry up and go," Ruan Xiaonuan said in a considerate manner.

"Zi Juan, follow your young lady well." After Gu Junxiu finished warning them, he followed Ren Deming and left.

"Miss, do you think that the young miss of Ren Mansion is pretending so that Prince can take a look at her?" Zi Juan said in a serious tone.

"No, Lord Ren's worry and anxiety just now did not seem fake." She said with certainty.

But for some reason, after Gu Junxiu left, she had the feeling that someone was following them. At first, she thought it was his shadow guard, but then he thought, if it was, they would all be silent and wouldn't let his notice it at all. Hence, she felt extremely uneasy in her heart. She was not in the mood to go shopping at the Lantern Festival, so he said to Zi Juan, "Let's go back."

"It's still early. Girl, are we going back?" Zi Juan said reluctantly.

Ruan Xiaonuan glared at her, and said snappily, "Mo Yan is still waiting for us, hurry up and go back."

"Miss only wants to come with Your Highness. If Your Highness leaves, you won't have the heart to play anymore." Zi Juan muttered softly.

Ruan Xiaonuan stared at her, and said with a smile that was yet not a smile: "Zi Juan, you sure have become braver, even I have to tease you."

Although Zi Juan knew that she was joking, she still shut his mouth and followed her with a depressed face.

However, not long after she left, she touched her waist and anxiously shouted, "Miss, my purse is missing."

"Do you remember where?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked with concern.

She knew how important that purse was to Zi Juan, and that was why she was in such a hurry. However, the intense unease from before had once again surged in. This was a relatively quiet scene, and very few people would pass by this place.

"Miss, can you let me look around?" Zi Juan seemed to have remembered where she lost it and asked.

"Quickly go and come back, I'll go back to the residence by myself." Ruan Xiaonuan said after thinking for a while.

After Zi Juan heard this, she did not linger and immediately walked back. After she left, Ruan Xiaonuan vigilantly looked around him, and only the faint sound of the wind could be heard.

There was still some distance between them and the place they were staying, so she didn't dare to stay there any longer and quickened her pace.

After Gu Junxiu arrived at Ren Mansion, Ren Deming did not say anything else and immediately brought him to Ren Chener's residence. Then, he said gently, "Chen Er, I brought the prince over. Open the door."

If the servant did not discover him in time, Ren Chener's life would have already been lost. However, although he was rescued, he did not see anyone. He locked himself in his room. Madame Ren cried for a long time in front of Ren Deming before he called him over.

"My prince, I begs you, don't provoke my daughter." Ren Deming directly kneeled on the ground and said.

Gu Junxiu looked at him coldly, and said indifferently, "This king and Miss Ren have only met once, I'm afraid that I cannot help." Just as he finished speaking, a clear and melodious voice came from inside.

"Your highness might not know, but Chen Er is an idiot. Ren Deming cried profusely. Anyone who saw his would feel some sympathy for his.

Unfortunately, he forgot that the one standing in front of him was the Prince Yu. He had been on the battlefield for so many years, if it was something that had nothing to do with Ruan Xiaonuan, it would not affect him at all. No matter what Ren Deming said, he just stood there coldly.
