Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"Your Highness, there have been rumors about you in the court recently." Hua Qingse said calmly.

Regarding those words, Gu Junxiu had also heard of them. However, he never put it to heart and just laughed.

"Is Your Highness not worried?" Curiosity appeared on Hua Qingse's calm face.

"What are you worried about?" he asked.

"There has been a lot of these rumors over the years. If Royal Brother and I were to take it seriously, then Xiyue would not be the dominant party right now." Gu Junxiu's face carried a haughty air, as if he was born to be a king.

Seeing that there was no one around, Hua Qingse boldly asked, "Could it be that you, your highness, have never thought about it?"

A flash of darkness appeared in Gu Junxiu's eyes as he replied, "When will flower Mr ask him about such meaningless things?"

Seeing that he avoided the question, Hua Qingse did not continue asking. It was this unremarkable remark that later became a tragedy.

"The grand ceremony is about to take place. I will be taking his leave." After Hua Qingse left, Gu Junxiu suddenly shouted, "Go and find out where these words came from. "Once it is verified, kill him without a second thought."

Since even Hua Qingse knew to ask, then it meant that this matter had already blown up. He had never put it to heart before, but now it was different. In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the Wang Residence and the Prime Minister's Estate was inextricably linked. Once the Noble Consort's child was born, he would use the prince and the military power that she possessed to cripple the current Emperor.

Gu Junxiu's eyes were covered with ice, the cup in his hand turned into powder in a moment, and then he walked out of Wang Jiang Restaurant without saying a word.

Ruan Xiaonuan had not visited Yue Yang for two days already, but seeing that there were no movements from the Tzu Ning Palace, he started to worry about the matter regarding Musk Incense.

However, this was not an easy task. The only clue he had was that he had already been sent to the service bureau's palace maid Lotus Heart.

"Mo Yan, come with me to the service station. Zi Juan, you will be at Flying Feather Palace." Ruan Xiaonuan did not inform Guan Wan and left the Flying Feather Palace alone with Guan Wan.

The janitor's office was usually the most difficult and tiring of all. The children who went there were usually sent to the palace by poor families, or people like Lian Xin who had been relegated by their masters because they had committed a mistake.

When Ruan Xiaonuan found her, Lotus Heart was washing the chamber pot. She could smell it from far away. However, Lian Xin was extremely numb; he did not even bat an eyelid.

"Lian Xin, our master wants you to go." Mo Yan frowned, and walked over to pass on the message.

When Ruan Xiaonuan saw her bringing back Lian Xin, she said to Mo Yan, "It's been hard on you."

"Lian Xin, I am the Princess Yu, and also the adopted sister of the Noble Consort. I will be staying in the palace for a few days." Ruan Xiaonuan did not conceal her identity, and openly introduced. After all, she was not disguised. Many people in the Imperial Palace could guess who she was, so there was no need for her to hide.

When Lian Xin heard the two words "Noble Consort", he suddenly lost control and said, "I don't know anything, please don't look for me anymore."

"I hasn't even asked what's going on? Just tell me you don't know? " Ruan Xiaonuan asked calmly when she saw her acting crazy.

"You have followed Elder Sister Wan for many years already. I heard that she treats you well, why did you harm her child? Or was it ordered to do by someone? " she continued.

Lian Xin slowly calmed down and said with a determined face, "I have had enough of her moods. If she becomes the empress, he will definitely become stronger. I will be acting on behalf of the heavens."

"Is that so?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked. She continued, "If it really is like this, you are plotting against the prince and you are committing a heinous crime. I heard that your parents are still alive, and you have a young brother. Do you really want them to go to hell with you? "

"You noblemen are always threatening your families." Lian Xin said indignantly.

Ruan Xiaonuan caught onto the flaw in her words and asked unhurriedly: "You guys? Who else is threatening you? "

Lian Xin's face turned pale as he immediately denied it, "You heard wrong."

"Is that so? Mo Yan, what did you hear? " Ruan Xiaonuan asked Mo Yan.

"It really is you guys." She answered affirmatively.

"Do you still want to keep it a secret for that person? Take the blame for her. " Ruan Xiaonuan looked at the pale-faced Lian Xin, and pressed on.

Seeing that she still did not speak, he continued, "If you want to continue like this, I will help you."

"Wait." Lian Xin finally opened her mouth.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her in anticipation. Who knew that she had recovered her crazed look and kept repeating, "I don't know, I don't know."

He even took the chance when Mo Yan wasn't paying attention to slip away from her side.

"Esteemed wangfei, it's all because of this servant's caretaker's incompetence. What should we do now?" Mo Yan blamed himself.

"It's fine, she's already relaxed. However, it seems like someone else has something on her. As long as we can find something on her, then the matter will be easily resolved. " After Ruan Xiaonuan finished speaking, she looked at the lotus core which was gradually disappearing, and her eyes revealed doubt.

After returning to Flying Feather Palace, she immediately went to find Guan Wan. She couldn't wait to ask, "When Lian Xin was in the Flying Feather Palace, did anything happen to her?"

"You went to find her?" she said in surprise.

"If she's threatened, then we can only start with her." Ruan Xiaonuan explained.

"If she'd said it, she would have said it then." Guan Wan didn't seem to have any confidence in this matter.

"I'll send someone to find out what happened to her before, but there won't be any results." She was the first to state the possible outcome.

Because before Ruan Xiaonuan had entered the palace, she had asked Lian Xin about it, but no matter what methods she used, in the end, she was not allowed to speak. She had no choice but to throw him into the service room.

However, Ruan Xiaonuan was full of confidence and said to her, "She must be threatened. We can't use a normal method to make her speak the truth."

"Speaking of threats, I do remember something. Before the accident, she went home, and during that time, there were letters constantly being delivered from outside the palace. " Guan Wan tried his best to recall the details of that time.

"Did you ask her what happened?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked in surprise.

"Yes, but she falters every time. At that time, I did not think too much into it and thought that it would be difficult for her to speak. " When Ruan Xiaonuan combined Lian Xin's words with Guan Wan's, a possibility emerged in her mind.

"Elder Sister Wan, you just need to investigate why she left the palace at that time and you will know the answer." She said with certainty.
