Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

On the same night, the palace was no longer as calm as it usually was. Liu Yingxue thought about what the shopkeeper had told her during the day. Even though she hadn't seen Ruan Xiaonuan, she could imagine just how pleased and proud she was right now.

However, she was like a stray dog. This was because the gap between her and Ling Yue was too big, Liu Yingxue had mixed feelings about this.

"Miss Liu, it's time for dinner." Ah Li reminded him softly.

She was sent by Ruan Xiaonuan to serve her, and she had always treated her as a spy that was placed by her side. She replied extremely coldly, "After you place the meal down, you can go out."

Ah Li had served her for so long that he had a good grasp of her temperament. He went to rest and did not insist. He silently withdrew.

Ever since Ruan Xiaonuan had moved to the General's Estate, the number of times she had been able to see Gu Junxiu in the Duke Palaces could be counted on one hand. Even if she wanted to, she wouldn't have the chance to do it.

Liu Yingxue didn't know what to eat, so she just put down her chopsticks. She planned to take advantage of the darkness to head to Chu Ying's Clear River Restaurant. As she passed by the study room, she vaguely heard Xiao Qi complaining, "Why is the prince drunk tonight?"

Gu Junxiu's alcohol tolerance was good, and he rarely got drunk, so the rest of them did not know how to handle it. And at this time, Ruan Xiaonuan wasn't around either. Xiao Qi was now incomparably hopeful that she would be able to return quickly.

Liu Yingxue smiled, she waited for Xiao Qi to carry him back, and then quietly left the study room.

She and Ruan Xiaonuan were cousins, so they had a bit of a resemblance to each other. It was just that Liu Yingxue was rather soft and weak, and often gave people a pitiful feeling.

After she returned to the Luoyue House, she took out a goose yellow robe and combed her hair into a bun that was almost exactly the same as Ruan Xiaonuan's. When she looked in the mirror again, they were seventy percent alike. However, to deal with a drunk person, seventy percent similarity was enough.

Liu Yingxue carried a bowl of sobering wine tea, and walked towards the main courtyard with lowered eyes. Xiao Qi had already left, and only Gu Junxiu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, not a sound coming from him. If not for hearing Xiao Qi's complaints earlier, she suspected that he was not drunk at all.

She walked in hesitantly, after a few steps, she could not hear Gu Junxiu's movements. She heaved a sigh of relief, but as she continued to walk forward, her arm was suddenly pulled back by a strong force. Liu Yingxue almost spilled the entire Spirit-Sobering Tea out of him. After calming herself down, she lowered her head.

A double shadow appeared in Gu Junxiu's eyes and he vaguely saw someone who looked like Ruan Xiaonuan. However, he still maintained a trace of consciousness as he uncertainly asked, "Ruan Ruan, why did you come back from the Prime Minister's Estate?"

Liu Yingxue knew that she had muddled through it and boldly said, "Xiao Qi said that you were drunk, Ah Xiu, and he took me out from the Residence of Prime Minister."

"Xiao Qi was too reckless." Gu Junxiu said in a unclear voice.

He didn't even think about it, and directly pulled Liu Yingxue into his embrace. He took in a deep breath, and half of the wine immediately sobered up. He pushed her away forcefully and said harshly, "Get lost!"

Liu Yingxue did not know why he suddenly pushed her away, she did not know that Gu Junxiu had become much more clear-headed. So she continued, "Ah Xiu, what happened to you? I'll bring you some sobered wine tea. " She looked at the tea that had been spilled on the floor with a look of pity.

Gu Junxiu looked at her in disgust as he enunciated each word clearly, "This king has already warned you a long time ago that if you want to live a peaceful life in the Duke Palace, then you should never step foot in here again, Liu Yingxue!"

Seeing that he recognized her, Liu Yingxue did not want to pretend to be someone else. She propped herself up on her arms. The corner of her mouth curled up in ridicule, "As expected of the Prince Yu, even if you're drunk, you can't hide it from your eyes."

Gu Junxiu snorted, and did not reply. After the farce just now, his wine was almost fully awake. Whenhe saw that Liu Yingxue was wearing the exact same clothes as Ruan Xiaonuan, she pursed his lips and asked coldly, "Who allowed you to wear this?"

She smiled, suddenly undid her waistband, and took off her coat. Wearing a white undergarment, he asked without the slightest hesitation, "Is Your Highness satisfied?"

Gu Junxiu looked away and said coldly, "Scram."

"Prince, what do you think they would think if I went out of your room like this?" Liu Yingxue said calmly. Although the cold wind had caused her to shiver, her heart was at ease when she saw Gu Junxiu's helpless look.

"You dare threaten This King?" Gu Junxiu's voice seemed to come from the ice cellar.

"I want to discuss a condition with you." Liu Yingxue went straight to the point.

Gu Junxiu acted as if he was disdainful, turning his head to the side, with no intention of negotiating conditions with her. Seeing this, she said unhurriedly, "Prince Yu may not agree, but there are still many people keeping watch outside. They saw me coming in neatly, but they left in untidy clothes."

Liu Yingxue did not care about her reputation a long time ago, so she did not have any qualms about it. But Gu Junxiu was different. He placed Ruan Xiaonuan right on the tip of her heart, so naturally, he couldn't bear for her to be harmed in the slightest. So he could only say, "What do you want?"

For the first time in a long time, Liu Yingxue felt at ease. Because she had finally found Gu Junxiu's weakness and spoke without restraint, "I want you to accept me as your concubine."

"Do you really think This King can't do anything to you?" Like a ghost, Gu Junxiu suddenly grabbed her slender neck.

Liu Yingxue felt a bit of suffocation, and forced herself to open her mouth, "The Prince is very resourceful, so of course he isn't afraid of me, a small threat. But before you two get married, if my cousin knows about our private meeting at night, then I'm afraid this marriage won't happen."

Gu Junxiu clenched his fists tightly, she felt that he would die here tonight. But the force that was imprisoning her neck suddenly relaxed, Liu Yingxue staggered a step back, and coughed a few times with difficulty, allowing his to breathe freely.

"Prince, why didn't you kill me without anyone noticing? Maybe this will be perfect for both of us. " Liu Yingxue said deliberately.

Gu Junxiu's eyes turned cold, his face became even colder, and the killing intent enveloping his body started to strike again.

She closed her eyes in advance, waiting for the feeling of suffocation. After a long time, he didn't feel any movement. She opened her eyes and asked, "Does Your Highness agree?"

If you had any more tricks up your sleeve before I marry Ruan Ruan, I would definitely not have forgiven you." Gu Junxiu didn't have the slightest expression on his face. His tone was as cold as if he could freeze someone to death at any moment.
