Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

After Gu Qingcheng finished listening to her, he left the Flying Feather Palace without saying a word. Ping Er knew that he was fine now, but he did not forget Guan Wan's kindness. After not seeing Gu Qingcheng's group, he asked worriedly, "Empress, what if His Majesty misunderstands you?"

"He won't." Guan Wan said with certainty. The reason she told him was also because she wanted to see what kind of position Ruan Xiaonuan had in his heart.

"Inform the Prince Yu that the empress dowager has locked up the wangfei in Tzu Ning Palace." It was impossible for Guan Wan to place all her hopes on Gu Qingcheng. Besides, she didn't have the ability to make the empress dowager obediently release her.

"Your Majesty, are you returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation now?" Outside the Flying Feather Palace, Su Desheng asked carefully.

"To the Tzu Ning Palace." It was as if he had wanted to say this for a very long time.

By the time Gu Qingcheng reached the Tzu Ning Palace, the sky had already darkened. The eunuch was about to drop dead when he saw the yellow figure and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects.

"Where is the mother?" Since he could not see the empress dowager in the palace, he could only ask the shocked Gui mama. However, the night was getting darker, it was a good way to conceal the peculiarity on her face.

"Why is His Majesty here?" Gui mama's voice did not sound any different from usual.

Gu Qingcheng looked around to make sure that when he saw the empress dowager, he already believed Guan Wan's words in her heart. He asked again, "Where is mother? It's dark now, and she usually doesn't go to bed so early. "

"The empress dowager is at the Buddhist Hall. Your servant has already sent someone to report this. " The Gui mama replied.

"No need, I'll go over myself." Gu Qingcheng did not wait for her reply, and immediately walked out. Panic flashed across Gui mama's face. Right now, he could only beg the person who went out to deliver the message to run faster.

Without any hesitation, Gu Qingcheng pushed open the door to the buddhist hall. Seeing the empress dowager kneeling down in worship, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Then he apologized, "mother, your son has disturbed you."

The incense of the Buddhist priest rose in spirals, giving people a feeling of awe. It was as if the empress dowager had finished reciting the scripture before she turned around and asked, "Your son came late at night for what?"

"My son originally wanted mother to have a meal together with him, but he did not expect to be late." Gu Qingcheng said calmly.

But how could the empress dowager not understand her son? She actually threw her treasured buddhist beads onto the ground, her face ashen as she said, "For a Princess Yu, you suspect a I?"

"mother misunderstood." Gu Qingcheng's face changed slightly. The empress dowager's eyes turned cold as he said coldly, "At the very most, she's only your sister-in-law. Where she is should be related to Xiu'er. What does that have to do with you?"

"My son was entrusted to me by the Noble Consort to find him. After all, he was lost in the palace, and my son is responsible for it." Even though Gu Qingcheng tried his best to cover it up, his eyes never looked at the empress dowager. They were mother and son, bloodier than water. How could they not see that he was lying?

"She has already left the Tzu Ning Palace. In the future, she will not be coming to the I to ask for people." After Gu Qingcheng apologized several times, it was still the Tzu Ning Palace who left in the end.

Ruan Xiaonuan had heard their conversation very clearly, but no matter how she shouted inside, she would not be able to hear anything from the outside, so she could only watch as the people who could save her left.

"Princess, what should we do now?" Mo Yan asked worriedly. Ruan Xiaonuan slumped to the ground and said helplessly, "I can only wait."

"But who could have guessed where we are now?" Mo Yan revealed the worries in his heart. Even if the people outside did not believe the words of the empress dowager, even if they turned Tzu Ning Palace over, they would still not be able to find the person inside the secret room.

"Ah Xiu will definitely find us." Ruan Xiaonuan said affirmatively, as if she was finding comfort for herself.

"That might not be true. Only Emperor Xian knows of this place called I." Her Majesty directly shattered her hopes.

Ruan Xiaonuan no longer treated her with any form of filial piety. Since there was nowhere to sit, he directly sat on the ground and asked, "Old granny, what are you trying to do? Even if I am Shen Yuerong, it would be useless for you to lock me up here. "

"I did not expect that, although your looks were not outstanding, and could not compare to the maidservants by your side, you would still attract the interest of I's two sons. From the looks of it, I would definitely not keep you here." The empress dowager's eyes were filled with killing intent, as if she wished she could kill Ruan Xiaonuan right now.

"You killed me in Tzu Ning Palace, are you not afraid of something unexpected happening? It's not like your place is unbreakable, it's hard to ensure that no one will find out. " Ruan Xiaonuan said calmly.

"Sharp tongue. However, I has allowed you to live for a few more days. Once they turn their gaze to other places, that will be the day you lose your life. " When she had finished, she left the room again.

After she left, Ruan Xiaonuan felt as if her entire body had been drained of all of her energy, and she collapsed onto the ground. After a long while, she said tiredly, "Mo Yan, help me up."

When she saw the killing intent in the empress dowager's eyes, she was actually trembling from fear, but she didn't want to lose her dignity in front of her. Only now did he recover.

Mo Yan helped her sit on the bed, wanting to pour her a cup of tea. But whenhe found there was nothing inside, she couldn't help but say angrily, "Just what does the empress dowager want to do?" Not even a cup of tea. "

"Don't complain, it's already good enough for her to bring us food." Ruan Xiaonuan forced a smile and said. If Gu Junxiu did not find her, would she really die here? She had fallen into a state of fear of death.

On the second day, in the Duke Palaces, after Gu Junxiu heard the story of the person who came to visit, he hurriedly entered the palace and went straight to the Tzu Ning Palace. The empress dowager wasn't surprised to see her. She said indifferently, "Xiu'er, you've come."

"mother, where is Ruan Ruan?" He didn't beat around the bush and directly asked.

"She's not in Tzu Ning Palace." Taihu Lake was still saying that. However, Gu Junxiu was not Gu Qingcheng. He did not believe her and asked again, "mother, where is Ruan Ruan?"

"Are you suspecting that the I is lying?" Her Majesty was furious and began to cough. Gui mama immediately let her go, and continued, "Tzu Ning Palace is only this big, if you suspect anything, you can go and find him."

After she finished speaking, Gu Junxiu led his people to search the entire Tzu Ning Palace. Not long after, Xiao Qi returned and reported, "Your Highness, I've searched for his, but I didn't find her."

"Have you looked everywhere?" Gu Junxiu asked. Xiao Qi looked at the empress dowager who was so high up in the sky with difficulty, and said softly, "There's also the buddhist hall."
