Guan Chen suddenly knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Highness, Xiao Wen has already left." Madam Guan did not seem to understand what she meant, and asked again, "What do you mean?"

"Mom, this is what Little Warmth entrusted me to give to you." Guan Chen handed over the letter while trembling. She did not dare to look at Gu Junxiu, because if she saw the ice in his eyes, she would not dare say a word.

Prime Minister Guan quickly finished reading Ruan Xiaonuan's letter and sat on the chair with a pale face. Following Guan Chen, the old official also knelt in front of Gu Junxiu and said, "Your highness, this old official was careless. The wangfei left the capital alone."

Gu Junxiu glanced at the three people kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "I won't blame you. If something were to happen to you guys, she would probably hate me even more. "

They all understood that it was because of Ruan Xiaonuan that they did not receive a punishment. Otherwise, if Gu Junxiu was just angry at a major event like releasing his wife from the capital, it would be enough for them to die several times.

"My lord, the princess said in her letter that she would come back. Please do not worry too much. " Prime Minister Guan consoled.

"All of you, get up." There was no hint of joy or anger in his voice.

However, his face was much paler than usual. Other than the coldness in his eyes, there was nothing else.

Guan Chen rubbed her sore knees, muttering to herself, "I wonder where Little Warmth is."

When Prime Minister Guan saw her, he was so angry that his face turned red, and he angrily said to her, "Look at what you have done."

"I'm just helping her, what did I do wrong?" Guan Chen said unwillingly. She felt she was back before, but this time she felt no guilt, because she felt he had done the right thing.

Seeing that not only did he not change his decision, he felt that he was reasonable. So he said more angrily, "Do you know what's right and what's wrong? If something were to happen to Xiao Wen outside, the Residence of Prime Minister and the Duke Palaces will become completely enemies, and all the work that we have done would be in vain. "

Guan Chen did not expect her to say something like that, and retorted even louder, "Don't tell me you only have power in your eyes? We haven't thought about Xiao Wen for too long, you didn't treat her as your daughter, but I think of her as my younger sister. No matter what happens in the future, I choose to help my sister, not the cold power. "

Madam Guan felt a headache when she looked at his father and daughter. She had to stand in the middle of them and say, "Stop arguing. No matter what happens, the most important thing right now is to find Little Warm. She's just a weak girl without any strength, how can she live outside?"

In her heart, she had already made up her mind. No matter what they said, she would still choose to help Ruan Xiaonuan.

Ever since Gu Junxiu came out of the palace, he had been in a state of shock. Xiao Qi looked at him worriedly and whispered, "My prince, this subordinate will send someone to chase him now, Princess Hua-Yang is definitely not far away."

"Let's return to the residence first." He said tiredly.

Xiao Qi followed behind him puzzledly. He did not understand that his master wanted to find his mistress and bring her back, but he did not give the order immediately.

When Gu Junxiu returned to the study room, the shadow guard that had been following him the entire time was already kneeling on the ground. As soon as he entered, he said in a serious tone, "Please punish me, your highness. Your subordinate was the one who did the wrong and let the wangfei go."

"What's the use of punishing you? Even if I kill you now, Ruan Ruan will still not come back. " Gu Junxiu's voice was low, but it was extremely cold. It was as if shadow guard had fallen into an icehouse.

He knelt on the ground, motionless, waiting for the final judgment. After a long while, Gu Junxiu looked at her and said, "Go and find her, continue to follow. "However, you must not reveal any traces of your whereabouts. Otherwise, you will be the one to decide your own fate."

shadow guard did not expect that he could actually escape death. He kept kowtowing as he said, "This subordinate thanks the Prince for his mercy in not killing me. This time, I will not let you down and swear to protect my wife."

After he left, Gu Junxiu stayed the entire night in the study room. He had long since understood that Ruan Xiaonuan liked to live a free and unfettered life. Thus, he tried her best to not restrict her when he was in the Duke Palaces. Unfortunately, as a wife of the royal family, it was actually very difficult to accomplish things that seemed easy. Since that was the case, it would be better to give her freedom. Perhaps one day, she might suddenly remember that there was still someone waiting for her in the Prince's Mansion.

On the second day, everyone in the capital knew about it. Princess Yu, who had just gotten married not long ago, became sick and left south to recuperate with a servant girl in tow.

There was an additional concubine in the Prince Yu Palace, but what was strange was that when the wangfei left the Duke's Palace, she did not hand over the authority of the butler to the concubine. From this, many people speculated that the Princess Yu was not sick, but jealous. Although Ruan Xiaonuan was not in the capital, her name was still spread around quietly.

In the Duke Palace, Liu Yingxue started to have angina once again. With a head full of sweat, she ordered, "Zi Ying, go and secretly sneak out to the Prime Minister's Palace to see if my good sister is still there."

Zi Ying did not dare to disobey her and immediately left. Liu Yingxue was already in so much pain that her face contorted, but she managed to hold it in and did not make a single sound. What supported her seemed to be her hatred towards Ruan Xiaonuan.

After she became the concubine, Gu Junxiu was still the same as before. He had never been to the Luoyue House before. Even if they happened to meet in the Prince's Mansion, they would regard her as nothing. She felt that she was now a transparent person in the Prince's Mansion. Moreover, when the people in the main residence saw her, they would even mock and ridicule her.

Liu Yingxue attributed all of this onto Ruan Xiaonuan, and not only did her hatred for her not decrease, it had even increased day by day.

However, the person she hated was currently sleeping soundly in the inn. She kept the banknotes close to her body and kept them inside her bag. She only had a few sets of clothes and some dry rations, so she threw them far away.

When the waiter saw this from the outside, he said in disdain, "If you want looks, they're not. If you want silver, they don't have silver. It seems like it's been a few days since I last entered the account."

After he finished speaking, he knocked on the door forcefully and shouted, "Customer, I've brought you dinner." The sound was like a gong, no matter how fast Ruan Xiaonuan slept, she was woken up by the sound.

She didn't forget that she was currently a poor person, so after she sat up, she pitifully asked, "Little brother, do we need to pay another silver tael for dinner?"

"No need. Are you going to eat or not? If not, then I'll take them away." The waiter urged like an old man.

At this moment, a young master with the appearance of a martial artist came downstairs. Although his clothes were unremarkable, the shopkeeper could tell at a glance that it was quite expensive. So he went up and asked in a flattering manner, "Does young master want to stay in the restaurant?
