Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"With your talent, are you willing to stay in the market? When you spent so much effort to become This King's advisor, wasn't it because you wanted to display your talent? " Gu Junxiu asked helplessly, in an attempt to change his current thoughts.

When Hua Qingse heard these words, she fell silent for a long time. What he said was not wrong. Just thinking about the matter of Chu Ying being poisoned, he said resolutely.

"I will not regret my decision today. Junior Sister's safety is more important than this." Gu Junxiu really did not see through it. How could a Chu Ying be worthy for him to be like this?

"Last night, you promised Ben Wang that you would clear the imperial court of all the embezzlement. Now that a day has not even passed, are you going to go back on your word?" These words finally stopped Hua Qingse from speaking. He was not one to go back on her words, and her heart began to waver. Gu Junxiu took the chance and immediately said:

"Once this matter is settled, if you insist on leaving, This King will not stop you." Hua Qingse was still worried about Chu Ying's safety in her heart, he saw through his thoughts, and said to him.

"This king will pursue this matter further. If I catch the poisoner, I will definitely punish him severely. As for Chu Ying's safety, Jin Si Yuan's guards will increase in the future." After saying this, Hua Qingse no longer had any worries, she knelt on the ground and said sincerely:

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Gu Junxiu did not care about his thanks at all, hinting for him to hurry up, after which he coldly said:

"This King has taken a fancy to your talent. Moreover, with you here, This King will lighten the burden by a lot. Why wouldn't This King be happy?"

The two of them heard that seemed to have woken up. Hua Qingse wanted to rush in, but she was suddenly stopped. Gu Junxiu glanced at the two palace maids, and they didn't dare to stop him. Only after he went in did Gu Junxiu slowly walk in.

Although Chu Ying's face was still very pale, but she looked to be in good spirits. Seeing Gu Junxiu who was following closely behind, her bloodless face flushed red. Recalling what she had said before, she couldn't help but want to cover her head with the blanket.

could feel pain in his heart from the sudden change in events. He forced a smile on his face as he asked.

"Junior Sister, how are you feeling now?" Probably because Gu Junxiu was still here, Chu Ying did not have a petty temper and said with a low voice.

"I'm fine now, thank you senior brother for your concern." However, his eyes continuously looked towards the silent Gu Junxiu who stood there, and hoped in his heart that he could say a few more words of concern.

"How did you get poisoned?" After a long time, he finally heard his somewhat cold voice. However, although her tone did not sound like she was concerned, Chu Ying was still happy. She told him in detail what had happened that day. While they were all thinking, a conspiracy appeared in their eyes.

Fu Dian, who was standing on the side, was about to say something, but seeing that none of them said anything, he suddenly shouted loudly.

"It's that Little Eunuch Ruan. Miss only drank the lotus congee that he brought over yesterday." Gu Junxiu frowned at her. What did this have to do with Ruan Xiaonuan? Without waiting for him to understand, Fu Lian kneeled down in front of him while crying,

"Your Highness, you must avenge our young lady. She almost lost her life because of Ruan Xiaonuan." These words were said with tears in her eyes, while Chu Ying just happened to shed a few tears. With blurry eyes, he looked at Gu Junxiu and said.

"I really do not know why the Little Eunuch Ruan would harm me. I have always treated him as a bosom friend. When I had just entered the palace, he had helped me a lot."

If Ruan Xiaonuan was here, she would have rolled her eyes a few times if she had heard this, but it was a pity that she didn't know Chu Ying's true appearance.

Hua Qingse was extremely shocked when she heard the duo's narration. He had only seen Ruan Xiaonuan twice. Other than knowing that she was actually a girl, he knew nothing else. As for what kind of person she was, she was even more unsure.

In this kind of situation, he chose to believe in Chu Ying's words, because in his heart, a simple Junior Sister would not lie. He and Fu Yong both knelt on the ground and said to Gu Junxiu.

"Please give your majesty justice." He looked at the three of them with a headache. Ruan Xiaonuan was no longer in the Zhaoyang Palace, but had brought him trouble instead. In order to soothe their emotions, he had no choice but to say,

"This King will deal with this matter afterwards."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Hua Qingse and Fu Chi said at the same time.

Ruan Xiaonuan was completely unaware of what was happening in the Zhaoyang Palace. Seeing the two wooden guards, she asked with a smile on her face.

"My two brothers, can you tell me why His Highness is looking for me?"

The answer was silence. No matter how much she asked, she just couldn't get it out. Her mouth was parched. She was about to reach the Zhaoyang Palace, but she still didn't know. In the end, he stood dejectedly in front of Gu Junxiu and asked puzzledly.

"Does Your Highness have some urgent matter for your servant to come over so late at night?"

It was not her fault that she thought so much. At this time, when a man and a woman were alone in a room, she began to think about that.

Ruan Xiaonuan's eyes wandered around, wanting to see what kind of protective equipment was here. Before she could find it, a shadow had appeared before her eyes. Gu Junxiu looked down at her and asked, "What are you doing in Zhaoyang Palace today?"

She couldn't help but retreat a little, because his aura was too oppressive. When they reached a safe distance, she answered, "To send the lotus seed congee."

What Fu Dian said was not wrong, if she was really the one doing it, it would be impossible for her to admit it so straightforwardly, and there was no need for her to harm Chu Ying either. But now that all the blame was pointed at her, she was at a loss for words.

Ruan Xiaonuan noticed that something was off with him and asked.

"Did something happen?" Gu Junxiu looked at her limpid eyes, but there was not a single trace of lie in them. If it was really her doing, then he could only say that she had hidden it too well. However, with her personality, it was impossible for her to think about such a complicated matter. His voice was calm as he narrated the matter of Chu Ying's poisoning.

Ruan Xiaonuan thought of the novels she had read before, and laughed while pointing at herself, "You guys wouldn't suspect that I was the one who did it, right?"

Gu Junxiu did not speak, and directly agreed to this matter. She first laughed, then asked in disbelief,

"Do you think I would do such a thing?" He was still silent, but Ruan Xiaonuan was a little disappointed. He suspected her in his heart. There was no longer a smile on her face as she calmly asked, "Who was the first to suspect that I had done it?"
