Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Chu Ying brought her to a relatively quiet central courtyard in the lake, and just as she sat down, she went straight to the point.

"I can promise to give you Mao as a pair of food." Director Liu's eyes revealed joy, he wished that he could immediately bring Fu Dian back. But Chu Ying's next sentence caused him to forcefully stop in his tracks.

"But I have conditions." When he turned around, he said,

"You have to lock her in her room. You can't let her out."

Director Liu was well aware of why she had such a condition, but he was smart enough not to ask. He nodded and promised,

"This old servant will not let her come out." Chu Ying's eyes revealed a satisfied smile, she knew that this matter had been resolved. However, Fu Dian, who was hiding not too far away, heard their conversation and was shocked. He turned around and tried to escape. However, due to being anxious, a loud noise was accidentally made, attracting the gazes of the two people in the pavilion over. Chu Ying instructed lightly.

"She's yours now, don't forget what you promised me." After he had finished speaking, he left without caring about the screams of Fu Lian behind him.

Director Liu was willing to do anything since he had obtained a food that was as delicious as a flower. When Gu Junxiu came to royal kitchen once again, he immediately kneeled in front of him and said:

"Your Highness, this old servant was incompetent, and did not properly discipline his subordinates." He felt the hidden meaning in his words and coldly said,

"Speak of the devil."

Thus, he told them everything that he had made up, completely clearing away any suspicions on Ruan Xiaonuan. As for the one who came out to take the blame, it was a very unremarkable eunuch. He was also very timid, so after being tortured, he quickly admitted it.

Ruan Xiaonuan, who had stayed in the prison for more than ten days, could finally exit. When she stood outside, she was still uncertain, why did Chu Ying suddenly let her go?

However, she didn't delve too deeply into this matter. She only needed to be careful when she met her again in the future.

In the Jin Si Garden, Chu Ying's room was full of holes, as though everything that could be smashed onto the floor. The new maid looked at her timidly and did not dare to go forward to persuade her.

No one knew how unwilling she was when she was forced to let Ruan Xiaonuan out of the prison. She had designed him with great difficulty, and now she wanted to personally release him, even losing a maid.

Did he really get away with it every time? No matter what scheme she plotted, he would be able to safely escape. After she pondered for a long time, she walked quickly towards the main hall and knelt outside Gu Junxiu's study, saying guiltily:

"Your Highness, it was this servant's fault, to actually wrongly accuse the Little Eunuch Ruan, I hope that Your Highness does not blame me."

Gu Junxiu put down the book in his hands, and the more he pulled, the more he felt that this Chu Ying was not a simple woman. The moment he released her, she immediately knew about it. Furthermore, she had put aside the fact that she had falsely accused Ruan Xiaonuan.

"This King knows, you can leave." His voice was light, but it was hard to tell if she was angry or not. But Chu Ying still continued to kneel there, and stubbornly said:

"If Your Highness had not forgiven this servant, then this servant will kneel here forever."

What Gu Junxiu hated the most was a woman that thought so highly of herself, that's why he didn't even look at her.

"Since you like to kneel, then continue kneeling."

Chu Ying did not think that he would actually say these words, which was completely unexpected. As she awkwardly knelt there, she could feel a faint pain coming from her knees. However, the words had already been spoken. There was no room for retraction, so she could only kneel there.

Fortunately, very few people passed by the study room and not many people saw this scene. However, she had been pampered ever since she was young. She didn't have to endure such hardships. Not long after she knelt down, sweat began to form on her forehead.

But Gu Junxiu planned to walk past her as if he did not see this person. She used all her remaining strength to tightly grab onto the hem of his white clothes as she asked in a low voice,

"Is Your Highness still angry?" Gu Junxiu took off his clothes from her hands, and said indifferently.

"This King has never been angry."

After saying that, he left the study, and Chu Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at his back in astonishment. Had she been fooled by him just now? Thinking that he didn't have the slightest bit of pity for her, she felt a wave of disappointment in her heart. She wanted to stand up, but her legs had already turned numb and she fell back heavily.

The pain from her body and the grievances in her heart mixed together, causing her eyes to immediately fill with tears. But now that there was no one around to comfort her and no one to help her, she just sat there on her knees. He looked very miserable.

When Ruan Xiaonuan walked out of the cell, he attracted many people's attention. This was because they had been in the palace for so many years, and they had rarely seen anyone who entered the Sky Prison come out safe and sound. He was like a miracle. She ignored her gaze and walked straight to where she lived.

She could smell her own scent, and wondered why the others had stopped to look at her. She brought hot water for herself and closed the door before soaking it comfortably in the wooden bucket.

From the moment she entered the cell, she had not taken a bath, and her body was unbearably dirty. However, she had not washed for long before she felt a person standing in front of her. She was greatly alarmed. He did his best to shrink back into the barrel, exposing only his head. Upon seeing Gu Junxiu, his face flushed red,

"How did you get in?" She had clearly shut the door tightly just now, so how did he get in?

But Gu Junxiu did not have the time to reply her, because he was not wearing a mask today. She could clearly see the devilish expression on his face and his body shrank down.

Fortunately, she just casually scattered a lot of petals. Originally, she didn't have this habit, but because she didn't have any incense in the ancient times and felt that the smell on her body was very strong, she sprinkled a little.

Now it worked. The petals of the water covered her body, giving her a vague feeling. Gu Junxiu smiled at her evilly and said.

"Which part of you This King has not seen?" "What's there to hide now?"

His current appearance was completely unlike that of that cold and callous prince. The evil and charming look on his face, in addition to her appearance that of a Heavenly Immortal. Ruan Xiaonuan held her nose tightly, afraid that blood would flow out from it. She said weakly,

"Can you not look at me? Turn around? "

Gu Junxiu looked at her expression while laughing. Not only did he not turn around, he even walked a few steps closer. His slender fingers gently took off the hand that was covering her nose, lifting her chin up as he spoke with a voice that was filled with charm.

"Are you chasing This King away?"
