"Just because they look good?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked in astonishment. Although she initially had feelings for Gu Junxiu, and it was largely because of her heart, she could not reveal it in front of Guan Chen.

"That's why I don't like it anymore." Guan Chen seemed to be extremely shy and spoke very quietly.

"Forget it, let's go back. Don't discuss such meaningless matters here. It's best to properly think of a way to make me leave the capital without anyone noticing." Ruan Xiaonuan reckoned that Gu Junxiu had definitely left by now, so she returned to her own courtyard with a relieved heart.

However, something unexpected happened the next day. Just as she was about to leave, the shadow guard, who had never appeared before them, suddenly ran out to stop her. "Esteemed wangfei, the Prince has instructed not to let you leave the residence."

"His movements are really quick. Fine, I won't bother about the matters of the Wang Jiang Restaurant. If I lose silver taels, then remember to ask your master to compensate me." Ruan Xiaonuan said angrily.

She had originally wanted to go out and scout, but who would have thought that Gu Junxiu would actually notice her thoughts so quickly? Furthermore, she had shadow guard by her side, leaving the capital would be even more difficult.

She sat there dejectedly, completely uninterested in her favorite snacks.

Deep in the night, Gu Junxiu sat in the study room. And the current Luoyue House, was dressed in bright red clothes, waiting for his arrival.

Gu Junxiu did not want to establish the concubine to begin with, so he just asked for a paper roll to report this matter to Gu Qingcheng and did not inform anyone else. Liu Yingxue then unknowingly became a concubine.

Today was supposed to be a day of great joy for her, but the entire mansion was cold and cheerless, without the slightest hint of happiness. Even the red lanterns were left over from the wedding between Gu Junxiu and Ruan Xiaonuan. Liu Yingxue understood that she was purposely trying to embarrass her.

Although she was sad, she had chosen it herself, so she didn't regret it. However, even though the candles in her bridal room had yet to come, Liu Yingxue couldn't help but ask, "Zi Ying, go and see where the prince is."

Very soon, Zi Ying returned with a dejected look. She replied, "Empress, the Prince said that he will sleep at the House of the Nine Prefectures tonight." After she finished speaking, she no longer dared to look into Liu Yingxue's eyes, and continued to stand there with her head lowered.

"Hahaha …" A sharp laugh suddenly rang out in the originally quiet room.

Liu Yingxue laughed as she spoke, "Do you think that's enough to make me leave the group? Impossible! I will definitely not let you and Shen Yuerong get along well. "

Hearing these words, Zi Ying became even more afraid. She looked at Liu Yingxue anxiously and said, "Empress, why don't you rest for a while. Perhaps the Prince is tired today."

"Scram, do you want to stay here and watch a joke?" she said in a high-pitched voice, as if she were screaming.

Ruan Xiaonuan who was in the residence did not know that Liu Yingxue was already the concubine in name. She tried to run out of the residence at night, but it was useless as she had just reached the entrance when the shadow guard appeared in front of her.

"I have a good idea." Early morning of the second day, Guan Chen ran over excitedly and asked.

Ruan Xiaonuan feebly replied, "I can't even leave the mansion right now, so what if I think of a solution? It's still useless."

"Don't be in such a hurry, listen to me first." Guan Chen knew that she had shadow guard here, so she lowered his voice to only be heard by the two of them.

They lowered their heads and whispered. After a while, Guan Chen said worriedly, "But even so, that shadow guard will definitely follow you. It won't be an easy task to leave midway."

"Let me think. There must be a way. As long as we can get out of the Prime Minister's residence, there will be no way for us to leave." Ruan Xiaonuan forced herself to calm down and think of all kinds of methods, as well as possible outcomes.

"After a long time, a flash of inspiration struck her and she came up with a brilliant idea." Come here, I've thought of a way. "

Guan Chen moved her ear closer to Ruan Xiaonuan, and before long, she looked at him in admiration, and joked, "You have so many clever ideas."

"That's something that cannot be helped. I don't want to go back to the prince's mansion and fight with a group of women for a man." Ruan Xiaonuan's words revealed a trace of undetectable bitterness.

Guan Chen pulled her hand, "Wait until you have had enough fun outside, you can come back. You're a weak girl, and you don't know any martial arts, so it's inevitable that you'll be bullied outside."

"When you marry into the Lin Clan, I will definitely return." Just as Ruan Xiaonuan was serious for a while, she immediately started to tease her again.

Guan Chen angrily released her hand, her face flushed red as she said: "You're the one who talks too much."

"Mom, Little Wai and I would like to go to the temple outside of the city to pray for blessings." When Guan Chen and Ruan Xiaonuan were in the afternoon, they had ran to the Madam Guan's room at the same time, and planned what to do in the future.

"When are we going?" Madam Guan asked as if she didn't sense anything.

Ruan Xiaonuan and Guan Chen looked at each other and said at the same time, "Tomorrow morning."

"I've instructed the servants to make some sous, bring it over tomorrow." Madam Guan said in an orderly manner.

"However, you must pay attention to your safety after exiting the city. Don't be too greedy, you must return to your residence before sunset." She said seriously.

Ruan Xiaonuan knew that this matter had already succeeded. When she returned to the courtyard, she shouted loudly, "shadow guard, come out. I have something to discuss with you." She did not know that person's name, so she could only shout this.

Just as she finished shouting, she felt a gust of wind blow past her. In the next moment, shadow guard was already kneeling on the ground.

"I'm going to the temple with Third Sister tomorrow. Your master wouldn't even agree to this, would he?" After Ruan Xiaonuan finished speaking, the shadow guard remained silent for a long time, as if he did not dare to make his own decision.

"Your master just can't let me go out alone, and with so many people following me, where can I go?" She continued to swim.

"Furthermore, you should know my position in your master's heart. If you displeased me, you wouldn't be able to explain yourself to him." Ruan Xiaonuan stared closely at his eyes, clearly seeing that he was showing signs of loosening. So she stopped talking and gave him plenty of time to think.

"Esteemed wangfei, you can leave tomorrow, but you need to have your subordinate follow you." The shadow guard insisted, he believed that the two of them were weak, and there was no way they could escape right under his nose.

Ruan Xiaonuan was extremely excited in her heart, and her face was extremely calm. She said unconcernedly, "You just need to follow in the dark."

When she turned around, she could not help but laugh. However, her smile was more sad than happy.
