Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"Is the princess dissatisfied with this arrangement?" Liu Yingxue asked with a smile that was not a smile.

Ruan Xiaonuan had originally brushed past her, but after hearing her words, she stopped and looked at her, "What do you think I am thinking?"

She would not answer such a foolish question. Regardless of whether she was satisfied or not, she had no face in front of others.

Liu Yingxue couldn't take advantage of her verbally, so she could only say angrily, "I welcome the princess back."

Ruan Xiaonuan avoided Gu Junxiu's hands. Like an empress, she arrogantly walked in front of her, angering her even more.

"Your highness, the Prime Minister pays his respects." Just as he and Gu Junxiu returned to their room, they heard Xiao Qi's voice.

"Let's go together." Ruan Xiaonuan said as she walked out.

When Prime Minister Guan saw that Ruan Xiaonuan had appeared, he looked at her fixedly for a few times before saying, "If Madam and Chen Er see that you have returned, they will definitely be happy."

"Don't tell me that godfather isn't happy to see me back here?" she said mischievously.

Prime Minister Guan had a serious personality, hearing such teasing, he could only stay silent.

Seeing that, Ruan Xiaonuan revealed a bright smile towards Gu Junxiu. He dotingly looked at her and said to the Prime Minister Guan, "Lord Prime Minister has personally come to the Duke Palace, what does this mean?"

"Firstly, it's because the Madam has asked me to come and see if it's true or not, and secondly, it's about the matter at the back." he replied.

"How is Elder Sister Wan now?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked in concern.

It should have been two months since she entered the palace. Her stomach couldn't be hidden.

"Everything is fine. The imperial physician also said that she was pregnant with a prince." When Prime Minister Guan talked about this, he had a smile on his face.

Ruan Xiaonuan realized that it was a smile that was simply looking forward to her nephew's birth, and it had nothing to do with anything else. Realizing this, she was relieved.

"Lord Prime Minister, bestowing the title of empress to the Noble Consort is a matter that most people would hope for. There shouldn't be any accidents anymore. All we need to do is wait for the crowning ceremony. " Gu Junxiu's words did not let the Prime Minister Guan relax.

"Your highness might not know, but the harem is no less dangerous than the previous dynasty. Right now, I only hope that Wan'er can safely give birth to her child." His face was filled with worry for his daughter, which was very different from before Ruan Xiaonuan left the capital.

She listened to their conversation curiously, thinking, could it be that when she left, something big happened?

As his mind was wandering, the atmosphere between Gu Junxiu and the Prime Minister Guan became awkward. Her dark eyes darted back and forth, as if wondering what had happened.

"Xiao Wen, Wan'er wishes that you can enter the palace to accompany her for a period of time." Prime Minister Guan suddenly said to her.

Gu Junxiu's expression immediately became cold. He indifferently said, "Ruan Ruan is only a wangfei. Even if she were to enter the palace, it would not be of much use."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him in dissatisfaction, telling him not to answer for her. Then she asked, "Why does Elder Sister Wan want me to enter the palace?"

"She didn't explain the specific reason." The Prime Minister Guan answered, he did not look like he was lying.

Ruan Xiaonuan had never seen how the harem functioned, but after Gu Qingcheng ascended to the throne for so many years, not many of them were born or grew up.

She thought for a moment, then said to the Prime Minister Guan, "When do we enter the palace?"

"Tomorrow, there will be an imperial edict in the palace. "Little Wen, this old man thanks you on behalf of Wan'er." Prime Minister Guan said sincerely.

"We are a family, there's no need for foster father to be so polite." Ruan Xiaonuan said with a smile as before.

's face remained dark all the way until the Prime Minister Guan left. Only after returning to her room did he pull her back and coldly said, "Do you know what kind of place that is? "I agreed so easily."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him strangely and asked, "Isn't it just the palace? It's not like I've never gone there before, and I can't just watch the Elder Sister Wan stand alone without help. "

"Ruan Ruan, things are not as simple as you think. There is someone in the palace who wants your life." Gu Junxiu said in an obscure tone, a look of pain flashed past his eyes.

Ever since he knew that she had been assassinated, he had been looking into this matter. However, the more he checked, the more shocked he became. However, he did not plan to let Ruan Xiaonuan know that she did not want to create trouble. Only, she did not expect that she was actually going to enter the palace. If she was even closer to that person, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?

Ruan Xiaonuan called him a few times, but there was no response. Since she had no other choice, he might as well give him a good beating. Gu Junxiu finally regained his senses, and insisted. "No matter what, you can't enter the palace."

"I've already promised my foster father, and why would anyone want to kill me in the palace? Are you thinking too much? " Ruan Xiaonuan did not take this matter to heart.

No matter if they had agreed or not, on the second day, the palace's imperial edict was sent to the Duke Palaces, ordering Ruan Xiaonuan to enter the palace tomorrow, and not come out until the Grand Ceremony was established.

"Your highness? Your highness?" The imperial edict eunuch cried out a few times, and finally allowed Gu Junxiu to receive it.

Seeing him leave without saying a word, Ruan Xiaonuan could only apologetically say to Young Eunuch, "Your highness has something troubling you recently, I hope that you do not mind."

The eunuch didn't dare to take the silver from her and hurried back to say, "Wangfei is too courteous. Your servant still needs to return to the palace to receive my orders, so I won't be bothering you any longer." After saying that, he left as if he was fleeing.

Ruan Xiaonuan glanced at Chu Ying who was smiling happily, and walked in front of her and asked, "What? You know that I am entering the palace, and you are happy for me? " She smiled innocently.

However, Chu Ying unconsciously took a step back and replied, "Entering the palace is a good thing, this servant will naturally be happy for you." It was obvious at a glance how insincere her words were.

Ruan Xiaonuan wanted to continue watching her act, so she asked, "Oh? How is that good? "

"It means that the Empress of the Noble Consort thinks highly of you. Otherwise, why didn't you summon the Third Miss to the palace and just let you, esteemed wangfei, into the palace?" She racked her brains as she spoke.

Her expression was truly interesting, causing Ruan Xiaonuan to be unable to resist laughing out loud. Seeing Liu Yingxue who was standing at the side speechless, she intentionally said, "Speaking of which, you do seem to have this intention. Looks like Miss Chu has learnt a lot during my time at the Duke Palaces. "

Chu Ying's eyes were filled with hatred, but she smiled and said, "Princess Wang, you flatter me."

"Speaking of which, you are still flower Mr's little sister. There's no reason for you to continue being such a small concubine." Once Ruan Xiaonuan finished speaking, he immediately drew their attention, including the indifferent Liu Yingxue who was standing there.

She pretended not to see them and really frowned, as if she was examining how to place Chu Ying.
