Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Ruan Xiaonuan did not think that her words would give the empress dowager a chance.

"Xiu'er, look at how she said it. She hates us." Especially you, the commander-in-chief, so you can't let this disaster go. " The empress dowager's eyes were fierce as she spoke.

"If I had to hate you, I would have long run away. Who would want to be a wangfei like you?" Ruan Xiaonuan said. But she secretly glanced at Gu Junxiu, and seeing that there was no doubt on his face, she heaved a sigh of relief.

"You killed me twice, but it didn't succeed. Because I still have to help Elder Sister Wan, so I have to stay in the palace. That's why you kept your face in front of everyone, but don't think about playing tricks on me." she said fiercely.

Her Majesty had never been scolded in such a way before and wanted to call for people to come in. However, after shouting a few times, there was no one outside.

"mother, I already have evidence for what happened last time. If you still have a third time, I will make the evidence public. Let everyone see how the noble empress dowager murdered her own daughter-in-law. " Gu Junxiu's cold voice finished his words.

The empress dowager finally understood that he never minded Ruan Xiaonuan's identity. "Xiu'er, there will be a day when you will know that her identity will bring disaster to Xiyue."

Gu Junxiu brought Ruan Xiaonuan out of the Tzu Ning Palace without even turning her head around. After sending her off to the Flying Feather Palace, Guan Wan saw that she had returned and said in joy, "Little warm, you've finally returned. It's all my fault for letting you into the palace. You will leave the palace with the Prince Yu today, and will not be involved in any of these matters. "

"Don't worry Elder Sister Wan, the empress dowager only wanted me to recite some sutras. It's been so difficult for you to find a solution to your problem, how can you give it up so easily? " she insisted.

With her words, no one in the entire palace, other than her and Gu Junxiu, knew that she was actually imprisoned by the empress dowager. But from that day on, the Empress began to spend the whole day in the Buddhist hall, even sparing the daily greetings of the concubines.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not take these matters to heart. If she did not pay her respects, she would be happy to be free, and not have to look at the empress dowager twice.

"Elder Sister Wan, how is the matter that I told you to investigate?" Guan Wan had originally wanted to let her rest for a good day, but she was worried that something might happen to Lotus Heart, so she wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly as soon as possible.

"You just can't stay idle." Guan Wan said helplessly.

Ruan Xiaonuan laughed, looking at her appearance, she must have already found out. As expected, Guan Wan passed a letter to her and said, "I dragged father to help me investigate this. During this period of time, it seems like something happened to Lian Xin's family members. It had been days since anyone had come out of the house, and the neighbors had seen strangers around her house. But after my child's accident, everything went back to normal. "

"That's right. Someone must have threatened her family to put out the musk." Ruan Xiaonuan said with certainty.

"I'll go find her now. I already have the evidence, so I don't believe that she still hasn't spoken." After she finished speaking, she immediately led the others to the service room.

But this time, they had not found Lian Xin, so they could only find the mama that was in charge of them and ask, "Does mama know where Lian Xin is?"

"It has already been a day since I saw that girl. This servant is also looking for her." mama's words gave Ruan Xiaonuan a bad premonition.

In the next moment, someone ran over in fear, "mama, it's bad."

"What is it?" she asked.

"Someone found Lotus Heart's body in a dry well." The eunuch that ran over replied.

Ruan Xiaonuan's fists were clenched, but she was still a step too slow. It seemed that someone had discovered that she was investigating the matter and killed her in advance.

"Princess, he died last night. He must have slipped and fell during the night." The royal physician that came to inspect reported.

Ruan Xiaonuan simply did not believe his words, and retorted, "She's a living person, how could she not know that that place is a dried up well?"

"Princess, do you know that Lian Xin is usually crazy? This servant surmises that she had a fit of madness last night and then fell down." mama flattered.

"Alright, you can all leave now." Ruan Xiaonuan said irritably when she saw them chirping away.

After everyone had left, she took a look around. She felt a sharp object beneath her feet and almost pierced through her foot.

Ignoring the pain on her face, she moved her foot and saw a golden hairpin. Just now, it had been buried in the dead leaves, so no one had seen it.

"Since Lotus Heart has been punished in the service room, there shouldn't be such a good hairpin anymore. This is pure gold, even the poorer lords in the palace cannot afford it. " Ruan Xiaonuan muttered to herself.

This place was eerie. Normally, no one would be willing to come here. Since it wasn't Lotus Heart's, it could only be the murderer's. She passed Chai Zi to Mo Yan and said, "Go and ask the servant room if this belongs to Lian Xin. Or ask if any of them know the hairpin. "

When Ruan Xiaonuan returned to Flying Feather Palace, she told Guan Wan about the news that Lian Xin had passed away. A trace of pity flashed across her face as she said sympathetically, "She was not bad in nature, but he passed away just like that. I hope that she will be reborn into a good family in her next life."

Ruan Xiaonuan nodded in agreement, and said self-reproach, "If we had found the clue earlier, she wouldn't have been killed."

Just as he was speaking, Mo Yan came back with the hairpin. She quickly asked, "How is it?"

"Just as Princess Hua-Yang guessed, this hairpin really isn't lotus core. But no one in the service room knows this. " Mo Yan replied.

"That will be difficult. The palace is so big, and there are so many people. I can't ask around with a hairpin, can I?" Ruan Xiaonuan said in distress. She rested her chin on her hands and fell into deep thought.

When Guan Wan heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened to this hairpin?"

Ruan Xiaonuan explained her thoughts, and sighed in the end, "I thought they were people from a service room, I didn't expect that to be so."

"Xiao Wen, have you ever thought that even if this hairpin belongs to her, she would still not admit to it? Wasn't this equivalent to admitting that he was the murderer? "So you won't be able to ask." Guan Wan's words caused Ruan Xiaonuan to be enlightened.

She immediately jumped up and said, "I didn't think of such a simple logic."

"But why must you think it's someone from the service room?" Guan Wan asked curiously.

"Elder Sister Wan might not know, but the dried up well where Lian Xin passed away is eerie. Ordinary people would not go there. If it wasn't someone she trusted a lot, she definitely wouldn't have gone there for no reason. " She explained clearly. However, after saying that, he frowned.
