Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"Princess, this is bad. The imperial guards suddenly surrounded the mansion." Zi Juan gasped.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not take it to heart, and said indifferently, "They probably think that Liu Yingxue will return, so there's no need to worry, just pretend that they are not there." But just as she finished speaking, the commander of the imperial guards coldly said, "His Majesty invites the wangfei to enter the palace."

"What is it?" she asked curiously. Wasn't it enough for her to enter the palace and ask the eunuchs to come over and say something? Why did he have to ask the imperial guards to come here? Was he worried that he would run away?

"Princess, please don't make things difficult for us." The commander of the imperial guards didn't seem to know anything either.

"Mo Yan, follow me into the palace." She was going to leave when she finished. However, Mo Yan was stopped as he said, "His Majesty allowed the wangfei to enter the palace alone."

"You can't even bring the people you serve?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't figure it out, how did she offend Gu Qingcheng.

"Naturally, there will be servants in the palace, so we'd like to invite the wangfei to come with us." Ruan Xiaonuan had no choice but to follow them into the palace like they were prisoners.

In the Flower Hall, Liu Yingxue's spies quickly delivered the news. She smiled and said, "flower Mr is indeed a good plan."

"After sending the letter to the border, I don't believe that Gu Junxiu will still be able to focus on fighting the enemy. At that time, I just have to wait for Ling Yue's army to take back the cities one by one." Liu Yingxue couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if seeing the day she climbed onto the dragon throne.

Very quickly, Ruan Xiaonuan was brought to the palace. When she heard the sound of the palace door being locked, she immediately ran out and shouted, "Explain the situation clearly or have Gu Qingcheng come over here, I want to ask him in person." However, it was abnormally quiet outside and there was no response.

Just as she was about to cry out, a person at her side spoke faintly. "Princess, don't waste your energy. His Majesty won't appear."

"Ping Er, why are you here?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked her in shock.

"This servant has been here ever since the empress left." Ping Er looked very different from before.

"Why is the wangfei locked up in this Phoenix Maiden Palace?" she asked doubtfully.

"I don't know either. The imperial guards brought me here for no reason and even locked the door." She said somewhat depressingly.

"Could it be Phoenix Nest Palace?" Was it locked before? " If that was the case, it didn't explain why she was locked up here.

However, Ping Er shook her head and said, "There aren't many people left in the palace, they wouldn't be locked up so easily. This servant guesses that Your Majesty wants to put her under house arrest."

"Everything is fine. Why did he put me under house arrest?" Ruan Xiaonuan said with dissatisfaction.

"Princess, think about what happened recently?" Following Ping Er's words, she went through everything that had happened in the past few days as she muttered to herself, "Could it be because of that letter?" But then, he felt that something was not right, "That letter was given to him by Ah Xiu, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Princess, it's probably because of the letter the prince sent to His Majesty that he has placed you under house arrest." Ping Er said after hearing her words.

"You mean there's something wrong with the letter?" she said incredulously.

"If this servant did not guess wrong, then His Highness should have been framed." She seemed to know something.

"When the empress was still here, this servant had heard some things. It was also because of this that the empress slowly lost her smile." Ping Er slowly said, as if she had fallen into some kind of memory.

"Actually, the Emperor doesn't agree with making the Empress Queen. But because there's a prince, a prime minister, and a little crown prince who hasn't even been born yet, we have no choice but to make her an empress." From that time onwards, His Majesty suspected that the Empress had colluded with the Prince, planning to usurp power and usurp power. "Thus, at every turn, we are on guard against the Empress. We might even not want that child to be born." Even though Ping Er's words were extremely plain, Ruan Xiaonuan could feel the despair that Guan Wan had at that time.

If that was the case, there was definitely something wrong with the letter. But why would Hua Qingse give him such a letter?

"Esteemed wangfei, His Majesty isn't as innocent as he looks. You must be careful." Although she knew it was disrespectful, she still said it.

Ruan Xiaonuan nodded, she was still wholeheartedly thinking about Hua Qingse's goal, or perhaps he did not know, and was used by someone else.

After a long while, she sighed and said worriedly, "I just hope that this matter isn't known to Ah Xiu for now, and will be explained after he returns."

However, the heavens did not seem to be able to hear her prayers, and that was good enough. Gu Junxiu received the letter from the capital. After telling him everything that had happened, the anger in his heart turned into astonishing inner force, and he smashed the table with a palm.

The commotion within the tent naturally attracted the attention of the others. When the other generals saw the letters scattered across the ground, they said angrily, "I was fortunate enough to be here helping him guard the border, but he actually said that we conspired against him, and even imprisoned our wangfei."

"Your Highness, why don't we just leave it at that? We have military power and we can directly charge into the Imperial City. Since the late emperor didn't say that you can't become the emperor, then." After saying this, he gained the approval of many people. It was as if with just one word from Gu Junxiu, they could immediately chase the current emperor off the dragon throne.

Gu Junxiu had already regained his rationality from before. He said coldly, "This could be a trap. If we were to kill our way back, then it would truly be a conspiracy."

"Then what should we do? The princess is still in his hands. " Someone said.

"She'll be fine. The reason why the Royal Brother placed her under house arrest in the palace is only because she thought that there would be an extra hostage. If this duke doesn't make any move, she'll definitely be fine." These words were more like words of consolation to himself than words of persuasion to others.

He was more worried about Ruan Xiaonuan than anyone else, but he couldn't act rashly right now. He didn't know what else she would face. He could only trust her. He believed that she could handle it alone.

"My lord, should we send someone to rescue the ninth princess?" shadow guard asked.

"No need. Since Royal Brother has already thought of putting Ruan Ruan under house arrest, he will not be easily rescued by us." Gu Junxiu had known his brother for many years, but he had never thought that no matter how he tried to escape, they would still reach this step.

Right now, he could only hope that by retreating, he would be able to let him know that he had no interest in the throne at all. This way, he didn't know if he could avoid his brothers meeting each other in battle. After all, the swords of the Xiyue's soldiers were always aimed at the enemy.
