Ruan Xiaonuan used her fastest speed in her life to leave this place quickly. Just as she was about to succeed, she bumped into a hard object. She cried out in pain, covering her forehead and saying without raising her head.

"I'm sorry." He was about to circle around the person before him and head towards the front. However, a strong force pulled her back. She angrily raised her head and said,

"You …" She only said one word and the rest of her words seemed to be stuck in her throat. Unexpectedly, she still bumped into him. She lowered her head in frustration.

Seeing the myriad of expressions on her face, Gu Junxiu coldly spoke:

"What is it? You don't want to see This King? " This sentence gave off an ice-cold aura, as if a single word from her that he was not satisfied with would immediately kill her. Ruan Xiaonuan immediately said.

"Your Highness, you think too much. It is a great honor for this servant to see Your Highness in person." But in his heart, he scolded him harshly. As Gu Junxiu listened to her rambling, the anger in his heart seemed to have disappeared a lot, but suddenly he saw her muttering, as if he was saying something. He raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically,

"You can't be cursing This King in your heart, right?" Ruan Xiaonuan immediately denied loudly.

"How could I dare?" Gu Junxiu looked at her in disbelief. He was very clear about how bold she was. Suddenly seeing signs of swelling on her hands, he took her hand and asked, ignoring the others.

"What's going on?"

Ruan Xiaonuan hurriedly retracted his hands and put them behind her back. She knew that her hand was very ugly, she had forgotten about this just now and let him see it. After she was sure that she had hidden it well, she calmly said,

"I'm fine!" Gu Junxiu unyieldingly pulled her hand back, placed it in front of her, and said.

"What are you doing in royal kitchen? Why did the hand become like this? "

Because at that time, he had been thinking about how to leave the Imperial Palace, and he was angry in his heart, not wanting to see her in the Zhaoyang Palace. Knowing that she knew people from the royal kitchen, he transferred her to the royal kitchen. However, he never expected that she would suffer grievances while she was there. She had never said anything that made him feel wronged, causing him to feel a shred of heartache. he asked her.

"Don't you regret it now?" Ruan Xiaonuan really wanted to shout that she wanted to leave royal kitchen right now, but when she thought about it, she rejected her like a canary.

"Thank you Your Highness, I am already used to the royal kitchen." This ignited the anger in his heart. His heart was no longer filled with the pain he had felt earlier as he said indifferently.

"If you like it so much, stay there." Ruan Xiaonuan did not continue his conversation. Thinking back to when she saw the two of them getting along with each other in the imperial flower garden, she suddenly said:

"Now that you've found a new partner, shouldn't you let me leave?" This was what he had said before, and she had always kept it in mind. Gu Junxiu laughed sinisterly.

"You will never be able to leave This King's side in your lifetime, even if This King is no longer interested in you." Ruan Xiaonuan thought of the unfamiliar old lady in the imperial garden. Was she going to be like her in the future? she thought sadly.

Because of her expression, Gu Junxiu was angry again, because he only showed this kind of expression when he heard this, and only wanted to leave. He looked at her coldly and was about to say something when Fu Dian ran over, panting heavily.

"Your Highness, quickly go save the little miss, she suddenly fainted."

Gu Junxiu was shocked, he knew that Chu Ying was Chu Luo's only daughter, he did not want anything bad to happen to her in his palace. Without any hesitation, he threw Ruan Xiaonuan down and quickly left. Fu Dian, who was standing to the side, saw her and glared at her.

"If the girl is unconscious because of you, I will definitely not let you off." Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her in confusion. What did Chu Ying losing consciousness have to do with her?

Because of Gu Junxiu's cold attitude, she didn't have the heart to continue staying in the Zhaoyang Palace and quickly returned to the noisy royal kitchen. At this moment, Jin Siyuan was in a state of chaos. The palace maids and eunuchs were shuttling there, while Fu Dian was crying in pain. Gu Junxiu pressed his head down with a headache, and said with a loud voice.

"All of you shut up, this duke. The imperial physician is coming right away, what's the use of all of you making a ruckus here?" Jin Si Garden's people rarely saw Gu Junxiu, they knew that he was angry and did not even dare to breathe loudly, each and every one of them kept quiet like cicadas in the winter.

When Hua Qingse heard about this, she immediately rushed over. Because he was worried about Chu Ying, he actually didn't see Gu Junxiu who was standing outside, until she was stopped.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Before he could reply, the imperial physician arrived. Not long after, the imperial physician fed Chu Ying a pill and spoke to him.

"This lady is fine. Although the poison isn't fatal, if it was a bit later, the poison would have evaporated to the heart. Even immortals wouldn't be able to save her."

Gu Junxiu listened to his narration without showing any expression. Hua Qingse, who was standing at the side, let out a breath of relief and sent the imperial physician out with endless gratitude. After returning, she spoke to him with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, my junior sister has no enmity with others, how could she be poisoned?" Gu Junxiu was also curious about this matter. Although Gu Qingcheng had bestowed many beauties that were scheming against each other, but Chu Ying had never participated in it nor did she have any enemies.

Hua Qingse knew that the words he said before were excessive, but once she said it, she could no longer take it back. Knowing that he didn't mind, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. After a moment of silence, he suddenly knelt in front of Gu Junxiu and said:

"Your Highness, I want to bring Junior Sister out of the palace and lead a normal life."

Although he knew that Chu Ying would not agree, he had to convince her, because there were many unexpected calamities in the palace. Gu Junxiu never expected him to have such a thought.

She did not care about Chu Ying, it was just that Hua Qingse was a rare strategist, if she were to leave just like that, his talent would be buried. He was silent for a long time and did not agree to this matter.

"Your Highness, although Junior Sister is a woman bestowed by His Majesty in name, I know that you do not have any feelings for her. Junior Sister and I grew up together, so I don't want her to suffer in the depths of the palace.

Gu Junxiu wanted to get him to get up, but seeing that he did not agree, Hua Qingse wanted to continue kneeling like this until he agreed. Gu Junxiu never thought that he would actually use such a rogue method, he felt extremely helpless in his heart.
