Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Zi Juan rushed over from the outside and said with a joyous smile on her face, "Your Highness, she's awake!"

She still did not know Hua Qingse's identity, so she spoke very vaguely.

Gu Junxiu's phoenix eyes revealed a smile, the gloomy and light emotions that he had been in the past few days had improved a lot.

When he arrived at the place where Ruan Xiaonuan was staying, he saw her perfectly fine as she sat there. Looking at her palm-sized face, he asked, "How are you right now?"

Ruan Xiaonuan had absolutely no idea what had happened in the past few days. She raised her head and asked seriously, "How long have I slept for?"

She felt that he had slept for a very long time. After waking up, his entire body seemed to be in pain.

"This is already the fifth day." Without waiting for Gu Junxiu's answer, Zi Juan impatiently answered.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her in disbelief, then did not believe her at all. It was only when he saw Gu Junxiu nod his head that he asked with half-belief, "Did I really sleep for that long?"

She really could sleep like this. He slept for several days after waking up, so he said rather embarrassedly, "I've never slept like this before."

"Don't you know how you were poisoned?" Gu Junxiu asked her suspiciously.

"Poisoned? You said that I was poisoned? " Ruan Xiaonuan was even more surprised than her.

Without waiting for them to explain, she said with a sad face, "Am I dying?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was true. He must have treated her a little better because she was about to die.

Zi Juan held back her laughter, but when she saw Gu Junxiu's look, he held back and did not say anything. After he had seen enough of her expressions, she said slowly, "You're thinking too much. This king doesn't allow it, even if Yama can't take your life."

Ruan Xiaonuan only heard the crucial point in his words, and she immediately turned grief into joy. "Am I really not going to die?"

To be honest, she was really afraid of death. It was good that she hadn't come to this world yet, this body was only 14 years old. She didn't want to leave this world like this.

"Miss, your poison has already been cured. Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here right now." Zi Juan explained with a smile when she heard what he said just now. Finally, she couldn't hold back her laughter anymore and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"How did you get poisoned?" Gu Junxiu frowned and said.

Ruan Xiaonuan recalled everything that happened that day and she simply did not find anything abnormal. Even if she drank a cup of tea from Chu Ying, she had also drunk that cup of tea.

Gu Junxiu looked at her helplessly. With her personality, she definitely could not remember who did this. However, if she didn't give him any clues, he wouldn't be able to investigate. He could only be more careful of her safety in the future. After all, everyone in this palace knew their own face but not the heart.

Hua Qingse lived in the Zhaoyang Palace. Usually, she would stay in her own place and would rarely go out. It was rare to be able to go out for a walk today, so it was limited to Zhaoyang Palace.

Not long after, another girl said, "Don't worry, she definitely won't be able to survive this time."

Hua Qingse heard this familiar voice and was shocked. He immediately chased after Chu Ying, and when he saw him, she could not help but shout out in surprise, "Junior sister!"

Chu Luo would usually bring Chu Ying along to let her and Hua Qingse learn together. The two of them could be said to be childhood friends. Seeing her in the grandeur of the palace filled her heart with doubt.

When Chu Ying heard this voice, she quickly turned her head. Upon seeing Hua Qingse, an undetectable trace of impatience flashed past her eyes, and quickly disappeared. With the same surprised smile on her face, she said, "Senior, why are you here too?"

Hua Qingse told him the reason why he entered the palace.

Hearing that he was here to get the antidote, she was shocked. This poison was originally brought from her master, so he definitely had a way to cure it. Could it be that her plan failed?

She asked tentatively, "Then has senior brother succeeded?"

Hua Qingse was always at a loss of what to do in front of Chu Ying, and at this moment, he also scratched her head embarrassedly, and said modestly: "I had seen this method of detoxifying the poison at Master's place before."

Chu Ying's heart was about to collapse. He had planned for so long, but he had actually failed just because of him. The smile on her face instantly disappeared as she coldly said, "I'll be leaving first, Senior Brother."

Hua Qingse looked like she had not finished her words, as she watched her back, and went back in dejectedly.

Ruan Xiaonuan had been resting for a few days, and because Gu Junxiu did not know why, he was guarding her every day. She did not have the chance to do anything else.

She helplessly looked at her and jokingly asked, "Prince, how come you're always guarding me like this every day? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to the beautiful and enchanting me?"

Gu Junxiu looked at her disdainfully, then looked around at her. He said with a hint of playfulness, "Do you think you have that kind of charm?"

As if she had suffered some sort of blow, Ruan Xiaonuan said with an exaggerated expression, "Although this is the truth, to speak of it so straightforwardly without the slightest bit of pity for the fairer sex."

He looked at her exaggerated expression and mercilessly attacked her. "All the beauties that came from this palace are much prettier than you. Do you think it's your turn?"

Hearing his unrestrained attack, Ruan Xiaonuan's temper exploded, and he immediately shouted: "Then why are you guarding me everyday?"

She felt that there was nothing wrong with her body. If she continued to lie like this every day, she would be sick even if she wasn't sick. But she kept watch every day, and she never had a chance to get out of bed.

"You are This King's prisoner of war, so of course you won't die so easily. The poison in your body has yet to be cleansed. If you don't recuperate properly, there will be repercussions."

When Ruan Xiaonuan heard that the poison had not cleared, she shouted in shock, "Why didn't you say so earlier!?"

In the TV series she had watched before, there were usually situations like this where the body had all sorts of problems. She immediately laid down obediently and asked anxiously, "What about that expert who helped me detoxify the poison previously?"

Gu Junxiu was purposely teasing her just now, so he had long understood her thoughts. He pretended to be calm and replied, "It's still in the palace." Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him in anticipation, and smiled obsequiously, "Your Highness, can you let me see him?"

He continued to pretend that he didn't know anything, and asked her in confusion, "Why do you want to see him? He's a bit of a quirk and won't see you. "
