Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"mother, it's so lively here today." Seeing that they were all there, Gu Qingcheng's eyes flickered as he smiled and said.

The empress dowager didn't exchange pleasantries with him, and told him every single word that Ruan Xiaonuan had just said. Then she continued, "She was the one who started the war between Xiyue and Ling Yue. If they could take her as a hostage, they would definitely obediently retreat."

"I wonder where mother learned this from?" He looked at Ruan Xiaonuan, and then turned her gaze away.

"I …" The empress dowager stuttered for a long time, but didn't say anything about Ruan Xiaonuan.

Gu Qingcheng just nodded his head, indicating that he already knew, and then left, he didn't even know if he believed him or not.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not stay long in the palace and quickly returned to the Duke Palace. They directly rushed to the Luoyue House, where there were already empty buildings. Only Liu Yingxue's personal letter was left behind. When it was opened, a few words were written inside, "I didn't expect that I would underestimate you!"

"Where did the concubine disappear to?" She grabbed the Luoyue House servant and asked.

"This servant doesn't know." Because Liu Yingxue usually lived in seclusion, these servants were simply unable to find out her whereabouts.

Ruan Xiaonuan's imperial guards had only just come over. Ruan Xiaonuan looked at them expressionlessly and said, "She's already run away. Let your master flip the entire capital over. Perhaps we can find him." After she finished speaking, she quickly left the Luoyue House, not caring about the people's surprise.

Liu Yingxue did not leave the capital but hid in the Flower Hall. Hua Qingse saw that she was in a sorry state and asked suspiciously, "How did the wangfei know about this?"

"Blame that good junior sister of yours." She looked at Chu Ying, her eyes revealing a cold light. As if she still couldn't quell her anger, she disdainfully said, "It's better than nothing."

"Liu Yingxue, this is not the Ling Yue Palace, if you continue to speak rudely, I will immediately send you to the imperial guards' eyes." Chu Ying said angrily.

"Is it because of the Cold Rock Powder?" Hua Qingse thought about it again and again, and this was the only thing she could think of.

"If she wasn't suspicious due to the poison and people were to stare at me, how could she have noticed those things? You guys are in a good mood. One of you poisoned her and the other detoxified her. Right now, she's alive and kicking, but she's causing us great suffering. " Liu Yingxue never thought that her foolproof plan would actually be discovered like this.

"Things might not be that bad yet, but they didn't know you were in the Flower Hall, so for now, you should be fine. And tomorrow, when I enter the palace, I will add fuel to the fire, causing the brothers to fall out with me. " Hua Qingse said.

"What you said is easy. Gu Qingcheng is not a fool. Liu Yingxue ridiculed.

"Of course he wouldn't believe our words, but there's one person who's different. As long as we lend her these forged letters, I'm a hundred percent sure that he'll believe us." He vowed.

"What about forged letters?" she asked. " This is easy, I have known Prince Yu for so long, to be able to imitate his handwriting 100%, if it wasn't me, I would definitely not be able to tell. " Hua Qingse said.

After the second day of assembly, he did not return to the Hua Manor, but instead went to the Royal Manor. Ruan Xiaonuan saw him and asked in shock, "Why is the flower Mr here?"

"I heard that a spy from the manor escaped. I wonder how he is doing now?" he asked.

"I don't know what happened to the things that the Emperor should be concerned about." Ruan Xiaonuan replied, he did not seem to care at all.

"Before the prince left for the battle, he told me a few things. "I was told to give this letter to you so that you could pass it on to your majesty if the matter regarding the spy on Ling Yue gets exposed." Hua Qingse handed over the letter that was sealed with wax to her.

After thinking about it, Ruan Xiaonuan suddenly felt that it was a little strange, so she asked, "Why doesn't Ah Xiu allow you to hand it over to His Majesty directly?"

"I guess the letter must have explained why he accepted this spy. In order to prevent His Majesty from becoming suspicious, it would be better if you went." He had explained everything very vaguely, and because Ruan Xiaonuan trusted him, she did not suspect him at all.

Furthermore, she also knew that when Gu Qingcheng found out about Liu Yingxue's matter, he would definitely doubt Gu Junxiu's motive. As for himself, he entered the palace once more.

"Why would Xiao Wen ask for an audience in the imperial study today?" Gu Qingcheng asked.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to deliver something for Ah Xiu." After she finished speaking, she handed the letter over to Gu Qingcheng.

He finished reading the letter without batting an eyelid and asked, "Does Little Warm know the contents of the letter?"

Ruan Xiaonuan shook her head and asked in a daze, "Is there a problem with the letter?"

"No, go back Little Warm. I will take care of it myself." He smiled as warm as jade.

As Hua Qingse warmed the wine, he waited. Indeed, in the evening, a letter came from the palace, and Gu Qingcheng summoned him to the palace. He calmly finished the wine in one gulp, then stepped on the fresh snow on the ground. One step at a time, he walked towards the imperial palace.

"Is there an urgent matter for His Majesty to summon this official here?" he asked perfunctorily.

"love letter has always been on good terms with Prince Yu. I wonder if I can read his handwriting?" Gu Qingcheng asked. "Yes." "Yes," he replied.

"Look at a letter." He threw the letter Ruan Xiaonuan delivered over to him.

Hua Qingse quickly looked at it, and in shock she dropped the letter, and asked: "Your Majesty, is this true?" Her face was filled with disbelief.

Gu Qingcheng remained calm, as if he was not in a hurry to ask, "If we knew, we wouldn't have called the love letter here."

"The handwriting is indeed the prince's, but the prince has always been diligent, how could he collude with Ling Yue and rebel?" He still could not believe it. He even picked up the letter and read it a few times.

"There is another even more ridiculous thing. This letter was sent over by Princess Yu and she is sure that it was written by him. My guess is that once the people of Prince Yu Palace find out about this matter, they will borrow the power of the imperial concubine to let us know her goal. " Gu Qingcheng said coldly.

"Your Majesty, why don't you investigate further?" Hua Qingse suggested without changing her expression.

"I know that you and Prince Yu have always been very close. Don't you know anything about this?" He suddenly pointed his spear at him.

Hua Qingse immediately knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, although this subject and Prince Yu have often discussed political matters together, but I have never heard of such things, let alone participate in such discussions."

"How can I believe your words alone?" Gu Qingcheng said.

"May Your Majesty be clear that the Prince Yu's wolfish ambition has nothing to do with this subject." He hurriedly cut off all relations with Gu Junxiu and continued to defend himself.
