Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

When Gu Junxiu heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He finally got rid of this matter. If he really forced him to marry a so-called noble girl, he really didn't know what to do. Only, Gu Qingcheng said afterwards:

"Even though I've promised you, you have to explain to mother yourself."

Although Gu Junxiu was not the current empress dowager's biological child, he had been raised by her at a young age, so he was truly concerned about him. It was precisely because of this that his and Gu Qingcheng's relationship was so good, and that there wasn't any suspicion between them from the Imperial Family.

He took Gu Qingcheng's words to heart and waited for the next day, only then did he find a chance to come to Tzu Ning Palace. However, Gui mama told him that the empress dowager was not in the palace. Maybe it was because he was in a hurry, so she couldn't help but say,

"Your Highness, why not wait here? The Esteemed Empress Dowager will be back soon."

The Gui mama was also baffled. No one knew when, but the empress dowager would always disappear from the Tzu Ning Palace at noon. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find any trace of her. Why was it that every time she returned with a smile on her face, they felt relieved and assumed that the empress dowager wanted them to go out for a walk by herself?

However, the strange thing was that during this period of time, every time she came back, there was no smile on her face. Instead, there was only a disappointed look on her face. But she still went out every few days. Just as Gu Junxiu was about to drink his tea, he heard the sound of welcoming outside and immediately went out to welcome them.

When the empress dowager saw him standing at the door, her face revealed a joyful smile. Even though she was only inside the palace, she hadn't seen Gu Junxiu for a long time. She walked briskly up to him and asked,

"Ah Xiu, why did you come to see this old woman?"

A gentle smile appeared in Gu Junxiu's eyes, and only when he was facing someone close to him, would he be able to smile like that. After helping Her Majesty to a seat, he asked with some curiosity,

"mother, where did you go just now?" Originally, the only one who could call him mother was her son, the current emperor. But because the empress dowager liked Gu Junxiu, who wasn't her own son, she requested for this privilege from the late emperor.

The empress dowager remembered the matters of their childhood, and looked at who was standing there with his long body and jade body, and grumbled a little.

"You are all young now, and have your own matters to take care of. I cannot disturb you, and can only look for something of your own accord."

He felt extremely guilty in his heart, because during this period of time, he rarely came to the Tzu Ning Palace, not to mention the matters of filial piety. He was not an emotional person, so he said in a gentle voice,

"mother, when you go out in the future, bring along Gui mama. If anything happens, you should have someone to look after you."

He was just reminding the empress dowager of this when she suddenly straightened up and asked in a serious tone,

"I and Love City were discussing about your marriage a few days ago. If you have taken a fancy to any lady, feel free to tell mother that mother will help you arrange it."

Gu Junxiu came here today to talk about this matter, it was just an excuse from Gu Qingcheng, it might not work with the empress dowager. He had already thought of an excuse long ago, so he calmly said to the empress dowager,

"I'm going to wait for the right time to get married."

The empress dowager thought that he already had someone in his heart, so her eyes immediately lit up as she asked curiously.

"Which girl are you interested in? Did they not agree? Don't worry, as long as you tell mother, you don't have to worry about anything else. "

Seeing that she misunderstood, Gu Junxiu decided to go along with what she said and fabricate a non-existent person. Although he felt guilty inside, the empress dowager would not be angry if he waited until she properly explained it to him.

Until he left, the empress dowager's face was still full of smiles. Even the Gui mama couldn't help but tease him.

"Even at His Majesty's wedding, the Empress was not this happy." Gui mama had always been by the empress dowager's side since he was young. Rather than calling his master and servant, he was actually more like a sister supporting each other in the palace.

"At that time, when Ah Cheng got married, it was the right age to get married. But at such a young age, Ah Xiu has never heard of a woman appearing by his side. To suddenly say that there's someone he likes in his heart, I is definitely happy. "

Speaking of this, Gui mama suddenly remembered something that had been circulating widely in the palace recently, and asked hesitantly.

"Empress, a few days ago, this servant heard something about the Prince Yu. I don't know whether or not I should tell you?"

"What should I say?" The empress dowager was still thinking about what kind of woman Gu Junxiu, who had always been cold, liked, so he didn't take her words to heart. After wandering for a long time, Gui mama finally opened his mouth and said:

"I've heard that Your Highness has been pampering a woman in the Zhaoyang Palace very much. I even heard that for her sake, you put one of the Young Eunuch s in the Sky Prison."

When the Empress Dowager first heard of this, she was not angry. She even thought it was a good thing, because as a prince, if there were many women, there would be many sons. But when they heard about royal kitchen, they suddenly remembered that the Young Eunuch they met at the Imperial Garden was also from the royal kitchen. Could it be that he had not appeared recently because he was involved in this matter?

As for why he was involved with the matters of the Zhaoyang Palace, he couldn't come to a conclusion no matter how hard he tried to think of it. She called Gui mama over and whispered a few words into her ear. The Gui mama quickly appeared in the royal kitchen, and said to the Director Liu:

"Recently, Esteemed Empress Dowager has really wanted to eat the snacks made by that Little Eunuch Ruan. Go and give some instructions." Director Liu was surprised that the empress dowager knew of Ruan Xiaonuan, moreover, he had never cooked any snacks in royal kitchen. He asked with a smile,

"Did Gui mama remember wrongly? This old servant has never heard of Little Wai Zi being able to make snacks. " The moment the Gui mama left, his eyebrows twitched, and he impatiently said:

"Is what the empress dowager said a lie? Hurry up and find that person so that the Empress won't wait too long. "

Director Liu did not dare to continue asking about the same topic, it was just that the person he was referring to was currently not in royal kitchen, so she could only say:

"A few days ago, Little Warm was still in the Sky Prison due to her offending the Prince Yu. I'm afraid she can't make snacks for the Esteemed Empress Dowager."

He had originally thought that Gui mama would change people and leave without saying a word. Director Liu kept on feeling uneasy in his heart. It was just that he did not have the guts to chase after them and ask, so he could only alert everyone to avoid any special situations.

When Gui mama returned to the Tzu Ning Palace, he told the empress dowager every word he said. He was extremely curious as to what kind of person the Little Eunuch Ruan was.
