"The capital is almost here." Ruan Xiaonuan did not look particularly happy, as if she was unwilling to go back.

"Let's return to the Prince's Mansion first. If there's a chance in the future, we can go out and play." Gu Junxiu knew what she was thinking, but this was something that they could not change.

Coincidentally, when they returned to the mansion, a good news came from the border. After half a month of confrontation, Wu Changming led a huge army of 100,000 to repel Ling Yue's army, and all the cities that were previously lost were also taken back.

When the army returned, the people of Beijing welcomed them. Gu Junxiu and Hua Qingse sat in the Wang Jiang Restaurant's private room and watched the high-spirited young general. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If this person was properly groomed, he would definitely be a great general.

Seeing that he was indifferent, Hua Qingse could not help but ask, "What is the Prince thinking?"

"Nothing." Gu Junxiu's attitude was still cold and no one could easily see through his thoughts.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that I will have to leave the capital for a month. In a few days, it will be the anniversary of Master's death. Hua Qingse had told him about this beforehand.

Gu Junxiu remembered that Chu Luo had died from the forbidden technique he had used. Every time he saw the two of them, he would feel a faint sense of guilt. This was also why he loathed Chu Ying but had never chased her out of the Duke Palace.

"What do you want This King to help you with?" he asked, as if he had already known of Hua Qingse's plans.

"Sure enough, Prince Hai Hui Temple understands I the best." he teased. Before Gu Junxiu could lose his patience, he said, "Could Your Highness tell Junior Sister that in three days, we will return to Mount Innerheart together?"

He was only Chu Ying's elder brother in name. If he were to enter the Duke Palaces frequently, it would definitely attract the attention of others, and this would not be good for anyone.

This was not a big deal. After he finished speaking, Gu Junxiu nodded. Seeing Ruan Xiaonuan's figure flash by the door, he disappeared from the private room in the blink of an eye. Then, Hua Qingse heard her ask in surprise, "Ah Xiu, why are you here?"

"Aren't we resting in the House of Love? Why did you come out again? " he asked. Ruan Xiaonuan was completely powerless this morning. However, she did not want to stay in the Prince's Mansion for the entire day, so she could only reply, "It has been a long time since I last visited the Wang Jiang Restaurant's business. I'll go back later."

"Who are you with?" Based on her acute intuition and her understanding of Gu Junxiu, she knew that he was definitely not here alone.

When Hua Qingse heard up to here, she finally walked out and said, "I greets wangfei." Ruan Xiaonuan saw that the person inside was him, and immediately said: "flower Mr does not need to be so courteous."

"Princess Hua-Yang's complexion does not look good. Can you get I to diagnose her?" Hua Qingse was skilled in medicine, especially when he saw her extremely pale face, she had actually forgotten that Gu Junxiu was still standing beside them.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm fine. No need to trouble you." The thing that Ruan Xiaonuan hated the most was drinking medicine. If he really could tell that she was sick, then she could foresee the darkest and darkest days of her life in the future.

Hua Qingse saw Gu Junxiu's peculiar expression and also realized that what she had said just now was inappropriate, so she did not insist and said, "Then I will not disturb Your Highness and Princess Qian Qian." At the instant he turned around, his face was filled with patience.

"Ruan Ruan, after you return home, why don't you ask the imperial physician to come to see you?" Gu Junxiu said without a doubt. Ruan Xiaonuan rejected his without even thinking, but when it comes to matters concerning her health, he would never compromise.

Thus, not long after they returned to the palace, the imperial physician came over. Ruan Xiaonuan could only sit there and let them mess around. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the imperial physician finally let go of her pulse.

"How is it?" Gu Junxiu frowned and asked, but there was a bit of anticipation in his eyes. The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with trepidation, "The wangfei's body is cold. You should always pay attention to your health, otherwise …"

"How is it?" he asked nervously. The imperial physician did not dare to look him in the face. He lowered his head and said, "Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to bear a child for the rest of my life."

"Dumb doctor, what a load of nonsense." As expected, after these words were said, Gu Junxiu flew into a rage. If Ruan Xiaonuan had not forcefully pulled him back, the imperial physician would probably be unable to leave the Duke Palace today.

After calming his emotions, she asked, "Is there any way to recuperate?" Although she had never thought of having a child right now, if she was unable to be a mother in this lifetime, it would be a huge blow to both her and Gu Junxiu.

The imperial physician looked at the shining sword in Gu Junxiu's hand in horror, and said with a trembling voice, "This humble subject will release a few of them later, and with the treatment of the medicinal food, there might be a chance for a change."

After pausing for a moment, he still risked his life to say, "But this isn't something that can be cured in a day or a night. It could be a year or even a few years."

Looking at his expression, Ruan Xiaonuan knew that he was still being conservative. However, he was only an imperial physician, so she could not vent his anger on an innocent person. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician, but please keep this a secret. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what the Prince will do."

Although the imperial physician saw that she was smiling, the coldness in her eyes made him feel an unexplainable fear. He didn't dare to hesitate and quickly nodded. Ruan Xiaonuan said in satisfaction, "Zi Juan, go and get the prescription."

The imperial physician followed Zi Juan and left shakily. He was still muttering to himself, as if he was rejoicing that he had escaped death. When there were only two people left in the room, Gu Junxiu comforted his, "Ruan Ruan, it definitely isn't like what he said, it's just that you are still young, so it's not suitable for you to get pregnant."

How could Ruan Xiaonuan not understand his intentions? She suppressed the worry in her heart and nodded, "It will definitely be fine. I didn't do anything bad.

It was just that as a Princess Yu, if nothing happened, the empress dowager would definitely make use of this chance to create trouble. Although she was currently ignoring mundane matters, she would definitely make good use of this matter. However, this was not a long-term plan. One day, she would discover it.

"You have to eat your medicine properly in the future. Don't eat anything that is too cold. I will go and instruct the kitchen." Gu Junxiu said in a serious tone.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him with a bitter face. Thinking of how she could not eat all those delicacies, and also eat that miserable person's Chinese medicine, she decided to start a discussion. However, just as his mouth moved, Gu Junxiu said, "This is a matter that cannot be discussed. It's better if you don't think of any wrong ideas and instead drink the medicine starting from tomorrow." She had lost all hope.
