Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"Your majesty, an urgent report has arrived from the border." As the throne room was in the middle of its discussion, a letter from the border suddenly came.

After Gu Qingcheng quickly finished reading, he said with an ashen face, "Xiyue's two hundred thousand strong army is actually unable to defeat Ling Yue's two hundred thousand, are you guys used to living a comfortable life during these two years? Have you forgotten how to fight? "

He knew that he was very angry right now, so the ministers in the audience kept quiet. After Gu Qingcheng went berserk for a while, he asked, "Do you guys have anything to say?"

After a long silence, someone finally suggested, "Your Majesty, this subject believes that you should send Prince Yu there. Two years ago, it must be the same thing for the Prince to be able to beat them into the ground and make them run away. "

Gu Qingcheng muttered to himself for a while, then looked at Gu Junxiu who had not spoken at all, and asked, "What does Ah Xiu think?" Although there was a smile on his face, it did not reach his eyes.

Gu Junxiu noticed this tiny change in him, and thought of Ruan Xiaonuan who had been bedridden the entire time, and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this task as the princess is not well."

However, this time, the entire imperial court might be worried that Gu Qingcheng's anger would affect them, so all the officials kneeled down and said, "I request Your Highness to lead the troops." In the entire throne room, other than the people dressed in dragon robes, there was only Gu Junxiu standing.

He squinted his eyes, lifted up his purple court attire and knelt in front of Gu Qingcheng: ", please judge." The look in his eyes towards Gu Junxiu changed, no longer treating him as his own brother. But very quickly, he returned back to normal, and said coldly: "Among all the civil and military personnel in the empire, only Ah Xiu can assume such responsibility, I order you to bring your troops to support as soon as possible." Although he was unwilling, he could only focus on the war.

"Your subject obeys the decree." It was obvious that he was not in a good mood.

In the Duke Palaces, when Ruan Xiaonuan was lying on her bed, she heard that Gu Junxiu was about to go out to battle, and it was because of Ling Yue. She made a decision in her mind. When he comes back, tell him right away.

"No way!" Gu Junxiu didn't even think about it, and directly rejected it. Ruan Xiaonuan said in dissatisfaction, "Why not? Some of them must have recognized that I am their monarch. If I am brought here, I might be able to force them to retreat without a single soldier. "

"The battlefield is full of danger. If you rashly barge into the enemy's camp, even if they retreat, how are you going to come back? They found you with great difficulty, they wouldn't let you go so easily. " She would definitely let him go back to being the puppet emperor. She understood what he meant.

However, he remembered what happened earlier and still insisted, "Just let me go with you. There will definitely be a way."

"Take care of your illness. With your current condition, even if you follow me, you'll only be delaying the march." Gu Junxiu purposely said this to stop her.

"I've already recovered a lot. I can even get off the bed today." In order to prove himself, Ruan Xiaonuan wanted to get up from the bed, but because his body was too weak, he fell into Gu Junxiu's embrace.

He hugged her and joked, "When did Nguyen become so proactive?" Ruan Xiaonuan angrily shook him off, and said resolutely, "I want to go with you."

"Stop messing around, I'll have the imperial physician check on your body tomorrow. If it was an ordinary typhoid fever, how could it have dragged on for so long?" Gu Junxiu's eyes flashed with worry.

"I don't seem to have a fever anymore. It's much better than yesterday." When she had finished, she asked again, "Can I really not go?"

"No." Gu Junxiu shook her head again, completely destroying her hopes. She knew that he was determined not to let his follow him, so she could only say, "Then you have to be careful."

Maybe it was because she had caught cold during the day, but during the night, Ruan Xiaonuan had a high fever. When Gu Junxiu impatiently brought the imperial physician over, he had only prescribed some medicine to dispel the cold.

"She has already drunk quite a lot of these prescriptions, why isn't there any signs of improvement?" he asked coldly. The imperial physician rejoiced in his heart, it was fortunate that he didn't prescribe those medicines previously.

"Don't be impatient, Your Highness. Princess Consort's physique is weaker than ordinary people. Naturally, it will be a bit slower." Although it was cold outside, the imperial physician was still sweating unhappily.

"For now, I'll believe you. If Ruan Ruan doesn't improve after using your prescription, I'll ask you." Gu Junxiu wasn't trying to scare him, the royal doctors didn't doubt that he would do it.

Before dawn the next day, when Ruan Xiaonuan was still sleeping, she said from outside, "Your Highness' time has come."

Gu Junxiu gently and neatly dressed himself. Before he left, he placed a kiss on Ruan Xiaonuan's forehead and said softly, "Ruan Ruan, I'm leaving."

After one last glance, he quietly closed the door. When Xiao Qi accompanied him out, he asked worriedly, "Your Highness, do you really not need this subordinate to go with you?"

Gu Junxiu shook his head and reminded his, "After this duke leaves, the capital city will definitely not be at peace. You must stay at the Duke Palace and protect the imperial concubine well, and don't let her get hurt at all."

"Your subordinate will not disappoint you, your highness." Xiao Qi said as he knelt on the ground that had yet to turn into snow.

"Take care, Your Highness." He looked at the man in the armor and said he would not leave until he was out of sight.

Because of last night's fever, Ruan Xiaonuan woke up very late the next day. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to ask Mo Yan, "Where is the Prince?"

"The prince has already left." she replied. At first, Ruan Xiaonuan did not understand what she meant by "gone", but she finally understood. "Why didn't anyone wake me?"

"The prince has instructed for the wangfei to rest well." Mo Yan brought Gu Junxiu out. However, she dragged his body up and said in a hurry, "They must not have gone far yet, I need to send him off."

He stumbled out of the room, but Mo Yan disregarded his status as master and servant and pulled her away, "Esteemed wangfei, the snow outside is still falling, your illness has not completely recovered, you can't go out yet."

"Mo Yan, let go of me. Have you forgotten who's the master?" Ruan Xiaonuan didn't have the strength to now, she could only reveal her identity.

"Even if the wangfei wants to punish me, I can't let her out." Mo Yan was determined to stop her. Neither of them had any intention of letting go, so they had been in a deadlock at the door.

Xiao Qi, who was standing guard not too far away, understood what happened after he heard the commotion. Then he said to her, "Princess, you'd better go back to your room. The prince left before dawn and left the capital a long time ago. Even if you go now, you won't be able to catch up. "
