Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

What Ruan Xiaonuan had just said was within Chu Ying's expectations. Although his expression did not change, she still said it with great embarrassment.

"Little Eunuch Ruan, I want to ask you something." Ruan Xiaonuan indicated for her to continue. She looked at the calm surface of the lake and said,

"I heard that there's a very favoured Young Eunuch by His Highness's side. Although I just entered the palace, I've heard some rumors. I wonder if it's true?"

Ruan Xiaonuan was still eating snacks in her mouth, but when she heard "crappy" words, she almost vomited them out. After swallowing them with great difficulty, he said in embarrassment,

"Rumors cannot be trusted, cannot be trusted." After saying it for a few times, it was as if he was trying to convince Chu Ying to believe her.

When she saw Ruan Xiaonuan like that, a look of disgust appeared in her eyes. The Prince Yu that she thought to be unreachable must have done this because of her seduction. She acted as if she didn't know anything and asked curiously.

"Is this true?" Without waiting for her reply, she continued,

"This Young Eunuch definitely wants to borrow the power of the Prince Yu to do whatever he wants in the palace." Chu Ying said angrily.

Ruan Xiaonuan accidentally saw the disgust in her eyes, and didn't know how to reply, so she said:

"I still have something to attend to, Miss Chu. Thank you for your refreshment today." She was scared that if she continued to stay here, she would be discovered.

Chu Ying looked at her back view, it was completely unlike the smiling face she had previously, where hatred was rolling on her face.

Ruan Xiaonuan had already moved out of the main hall, because Gu Junxiu still had not quelled the flames from that day, but she was happy that he had nothing to do, and never had the intention of reconciling with it. However, only a few people knew of this matter, and the others thought that she was still a popular person by his side.

Because she was living on the other side now, she didn't have to be worried every time she received a letter from one of the concubines. As she read their letters, she imagined how their lives were now, and she was filled with envy, and the thought of leaving began to stir again.

Ever since Ruan Xiaonuan received their letter, she had started to observe the situation in the palace. Although Gu Junxiu hadn't spoken a word to her since that day, her every move was still within his control. When he heard that she liked to run towards the entrance of the palace, he immediately thought of her plans.

However, he only calmly observed and did not stop her actions. Ruan Xiaonuan thought that her plan this time was flawless and was filled with self-satisfaction in her heart. She couldn't help but smile on her face every single day, unaware that everything was under Gu Junxiu's control.

Through her beautiful breasts, she patiently asked. Finally, she knew that they would send a few people to the outside of the palace every day to buy things, and when they left, there would be a few big buckets. At that time, she would just have to hide inside.

After Ruan Xiaonuan prepared to return everything, sshe changed into an inconspicuous set of clothes, and while no one was around, he nimbly entered the barrel. Not long after, she heard footsteps. She held her breath and felt herself shake. Her head hit the barrel and she almost cried out in pain. She quickly covered her mouth and gritted her teeth to hold it back.

"Strange, why do I feel like today's buckets have become much heavier!" Ruan Xiaonuan prayed in his heart that he would never open it. Perhaps the Heavens had heard her pleas, but the eunuch outside only mumbled to himself and did not open the door to check.

Relieved, she felt as if the car was leaving, and she couldn't help but look forward to her life after leaving the palace. She hadn't left for long before someone told Gu Junxiu about the situation here. After a while, he stood up and left.

The carriage swayed, and Ruan Xiaonuan almost fell asleep. Suddenly, she felt as if she had stopped. She heard voices arguing outside and listened attentively. Someone was speaking from the outside.

"A eunuch ran away from the Prince Yu Palace. Everyone that passes has to be inspected." The eunuch who was driving the carriage had seen such a scene many times, so he got off the carriage and allowed the driver to inspect it. She felt as if they were walking closer to her, nervous, sweat beginning to form on her forehead. It wasn't until they felt them go away that the tension subsided.

"Greetings Prince Yu." The cheers from outside caused her heart to be reassured. Why was he here too? Not long after, Gu Junxiu asked.

"What's in it?" The eunuch who was driving the carriage did not dare to look directly into his eyes, and fearfully said,

"It's empty inside. This is what the royal kitchen uses to serve dishes." Gu Junxiu walked to the front of the barrel where Ruan Xiaonuan was hiding and stood, and opened the lid immediately.

"Take this vat to the Zhaoyang Palace." The eunuch did not dare to retort and allowed the guards to carry it away.

Everyone looked at the wooden bucket they were carrying with curiosity. They wanted to go up and investigate, but when they felt the cold Qi that was continuously emitting from Gu Junxiu, they couldn't help but take a step back.

Ruan Xiaonuan, who had been in the barrel the entire time, could not help but cringe. Seeing that they were almost at Zhaoyang Palace, she could almost imagine what would happen to her. Although one could not see Gu Junxiu's current expression, one could guess that he must be livid. The bodyguards heavily placed the wooden bucket on the ground. Once again, her head hurt from the impact.

"Who is it?" They don't even know it's lighter. " She wanted to climb out, but a strong force pulled her back into the barrel, and she angrily said,

"Don't you know that it is very difficult to climb out of this wooden barrel? It was extremely difficult for me to get out, yet you pushed me back out of the barrel? You did this on purpose, didn't you?" She just sat in the bucket, mumbling to herself. Gu Junxiu looked at her movements coldly, and said without any anger.

"Since you like the wooden barrel so much, This King doesn't mind letting you bring it along for a while." The moment Ruan Xiaonuan heard his voice, she immediately lost all of her spirit and sat there dejectedly. Seeing that he didn't say anything after a long time, she feebly said.

"It's up to you if you want to kill or cut me up, but if there is a chance, I will still leave. I don't like the palace at all."

Although she could live a life like a worm in the palace and also enjoy all kinds of delicacies, she felt that she was a pet owned by Gu Junxiu. Whenever he got tired of playing with her, she would be pushed away.

Most importantly, she had no freedom at all in the palace. Everything depended on his preferences. Knowing how carefree they were outside, she wanted to escape from this life even more.
