At this moment, Ruan Xiaonuan had absolutely no idea how she would ever be able to return to the main hall and how she would be able to face the furious Gu Junxiu at that time. Now that she was glad to have left, she was in a good mood and could fly. However, just as she took a few steps, she heard a familiar voice.

"Keep running!" Ruan Xiaonuan raised her head, pointed at Gu Junxiu and said:

"Why are you here?" Shouldn't he still be reading the letter? Why did they chase him out so quickly? He did not answer her, but slowly moved in front of her, holding the letter in his hand, and said in a calm voice,

"Why don't you explain what's going on?" Gu Junxiu didn't know what to do now, he had thought that in this period of time, she had already given up on the idea of escaping. He didn't expect that in the period of less than a month since he escaped last time, he was actually plotting another method, and also had an accomplice.

It was as if a fire had been built in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent it on. He could only try his best to calm himself down.

Ruan Xiaonuan took the letter, but her face was still stubbornly looking at him as she spoke.

"Gu Junxiu, I don't like the life in the palace, I also have my rights, what right do you have to keep me by your side, I have the power to pursue freedom." When he heard her bold words, he was so angry that he laughed.

"Power?" You are now a prisoner of war. Your body and life are in this king's hands, you have no freedom! "

She really wanted to slap him. For a life without freedom like this, it would be better if he just killed her then to hold a grudge. It was definitely because she touched him a few times and wanted to take revenge now.

The more she thought about it, the more regretful she became. Back then, why couldn't she control her hand and provoke such a person? She silently wanted to turn around and leave, but was pulled back by Gu Junxiu, and said while staring into her eyes:

"Do you think you can escape with just the few of you? Shen Yuerong, stop dreaming! " She stared blankly into space for a long time before she found out that the Shen Yuerong he was referring to was herself. However, hearing his boastful words, she sarcastically said …

"As long as I want to do it, there will be nothing that will not succeed. One day, I will leave this Imperial Palace and escape your control."

Gu Junxiu had never been doubted in his life before, he was so angry that he directly blocked her mouth. He could only let out a few whimpering sounds, and tried to push her away with all his might, but he couldn't move an inch.

She kept his eyes on the surroundings, afraid that someone else was coming. As if noticing her distraction, Gu Junxiu bit her heavily. Ruan Xiaonuan immediately shouted:

"Are you crazy!?" This time, she easily pushed him away. He looked with satisfaction at the bloody wound on the corner of her mouth, walked over to her and said,

"If I don't let go, you'll never be able to escape from my grasp in this lifetime." With that, he left.

Ruan Xiaonuan landed on the ground and hacked down with her leg, staring fiercely at the back, as though she was going to dig a hole. Knowing that his figure had disappeared, she covered her mouth and returned to where she lived.

Little did he know that Chu Ying, who was hiding in the darkness, had seen the scene just now. Because they were far away, she did not hear what they said clearly. She only saw the intimate actions of the two, and the hatred in their eyes roiled as they stared straight at Ruan Xiaonuan.

As a eunuch, it was very strange to see a scar in that conspicuous place. Ruan Xiaonuan thought that she would hide in her room and not go out every day. However, it was as if Gu Junxiu was deliberately going against her, and every day, there would be strange things that would arrange for her to appear in front of the others.

Anyone who saw her would look at her mouth out of curiosity. Whenever this happened, they would wish they could find a hole to hide in. She tried to cover herself as much as she could while hurriedly walking in front of them, but someone purposely didn't let her. Chu Ying, who was standing not far from them, joyfully said.

"Little Eunuch Ruan, I haven't seen you in a long time." Ruan Xiaonuan wanted to pretend that he did not hear her, but when he glanced at her, he saw her quickly walking towards him. She did not have the chance to leave. He could only force a smile on his face.

"Good morning, Miss Chu!"

Chu Ying acted as if she had forgotten what she had seen that day. When she saw her, she curiously looked at her mouth and asked with concern.

"Little Eunuch Ruan, what's wrong with your mouth? Was it knocked down somewhere? " Just as Ruan Xiaonuan was worrying about not having any reason to explain, she coincidentally just happened to give her one.

"Blame myself for being careless and accidentally falling down. Thank you for your concern, Miss."

When Chu Ying heard this, he hated her from the bottom of her heart.

"Little Eunuch Ruan, I have made a few small snacks recently, where should we go?"

These words were completely without any intention of seeking her opinion, so she could only accept her fate and follow. Seeing the exquisite snacks that she took out, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. The craftsmanship of the ancient people was really good. Something like this was something that she was no longer able to see in the modern world.

"Little Eunuch Ruan, what are you saying?" Chu Ying asked suspiciously. She had accidentally told her what was on her mind earlier, but fortunately, she could not understand either.

"Your cooking skills are really good. Your Highness should be back by now. How about you let me have a taste of your cooking skills?" When she said Gu Junxiu, Chu Ying laughed bashfully, and said softly:

"Your highness has seen so many delicacies before, I won't take out my little items to make a fool of myself."

Ruan Xiaonuan did not understand, why would Gu Junxiu want beautiful women, not just beautiful, but also gentle and virtuous women that he didn't like, and would always stay by her side? If she was a man, he would definitely choose Chu Ying.

She picked up the pastries on her plate and stuffed them into her mouth in one mouthful. She had no idea when her life as a prisoner of war would end, but she could not help but let out a long sigh.

"Why does the Little Eunuch Ruan sigh?" Ruan Xiaonuan picked up another piece, and said without the slightest bit of resentment.

"I've thought of some troublesome matters. I wonder if Miss has any worries?" She found Chu Ying very pleasing to the eye and couldn't help but become her confidant.

Chu Ying's brows quickly filled with worry, as she softly said:

"There's something that has been lingering in my mind for a long time." It seemed as if it was difficult for her to speak. She wandered around for a long time without uttering a single word. Ruan Xiaonuan said as she looked at her helplessly.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I'll think of something for you." She patted her chest in assurance. Chu Ying's eyes immediately lit up, happily saying:

"Are you really going to help me think of a way?" Ruan Xiaonuan nodded with certainty, then encouraged her to speak of the matter. Looking at her expression, she seemed to be more anxious than Chu Ying herself.
