Because of his obvious flirting tone, Ruan Xiaonuan felt as if her face was on fire. She tried her best to break free from his imprisonment and move away from Gu Junxiu. She wanted to make a good accusation against him for what she had just done. However, when she saw his smiling eyes, she instantly forgot her original purpose.

Because there was nothing in her mind but his enchanting face. After staring blankly for a long time, she finally opened her mouth and said,

"Your Highness, is it time for this servant to leave?"

Gu Junxiu saw that her face was flushed red. If he left now, someone with ulterior motives would definitely become suspicious.

"Wait a little longer."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him helplessly, feeling that she was about to return to her days in the Zhaoyang Palace and be raised and raised by him like a pet.

She lowered her eyes, and Gu Junxiu did not see the unwillingness in her eyes. On the contrary, he felt a bit of joy in his heart, because she would appear before him every day.

Very soon, everyone in Zhaoyang Palace knew about her return. Those who heard of this news were naturally happy and worried.

Chu Ying held her handkerchief tightly, and a crack quickly appeared on the silk handkerchief. The new Yu Er wasn't very old, but when she saw this scene, she felt fear in her heart. She opened her mouth and whispered,

"Miss, are you alright?" Chu Ying's eyes suddenly turned red as she looked at her and roared.

"Scram!"

Yu Er paused in her steps, and without even daring to look at her, she quickly disappeared from the room.

After she left, Chu Ying looked extremely sinister, her eyes filled with deep unwillingness. Her facial features were twisted, and the handkerchief in her hand was torn apart.

Ruan Xiaonuan, who had just returned to the Zhaoyang Palace, didn't know at all that there was someone in the palace who already hated her to the bone. After she left the main hall, Zi Juan looked at her excitedly, and kept on talking about what had happened during this period of time.

She was still living in the side hall, and was renowned for being able to take better care of Gu Junxiu's daily life. Thinking about his dignified appearance back then, Ruan Xiaonuan couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. Zi Juan felt that she was a little absent-minded and changed the topic and said.

"Miss Ruan, in fact, during the time you were away, His Highness did not even glance at the other women." Knowing that no one else would come in, Zi Juan immediately called out for her female identity.

She thought that Ruan Xiaonuan would be a little interested when she heard this. But she didn't care who Gu Junxiu was with, she just hoped that he wouldn't bother her anymore. She calmly said,

"Zi Juan, that is His Highness' own matter, let's not bother about it."

Zi Juan thought that she had heard the rumors outside and explained anxiously.

"The rumors outside are not to be trusted, His Highness was really not together with that Miss Chu, and the reason why he sent you to prison last time was because he was forced to. After that, His Highness has been thinking about how to rescue you."

She did not reply to her, but silently cursed in her heart. If he really wanted her to say such words, then why was he so cold and detached last time in the prison? However, she meant well. Naturally, she would not say such words out loud. She raised her head to look at the sky and immediately pushed her out.

"I know what you mean, it's getting late, so you should hurry back to rest. If you stay here, there will probably be more rumors." Zi Juan unwillingly was pushed away by her, and unwillingly wanted to continue speaking, but Ruan Xiaonuan closed the door and said.

"Zi Juan, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Hearing that, Zi Juan left helplessly. When she heard that there was finally no one outside and that the room had regained its tranquility, she let out a sigh of relief. She had spent the entire afternoon here and could finally have a good rest.

However, just as she was lying down, she heard the door open. She thought it was open because it wasn't tightly shut, and just as she was about to get off the bed, she saw a figure flash in. She subconsciously wanted to scream, but a hand covered her mouth. She could not make a sound. In the darkness, her eyes were wide with fear.

"Who are you?" After a long time, she finally let go of the restraining hand. Only then did she dare to open her mouth and ask, but her voice was still a little shaky.

"Hiss …" In the silent night, she seemed to hear a cry of pain and asked softly.

"Are you hurt?" However, she never dared to turn back, as she was afraid that if she did, she would be dealt with. All she could hear was the man's heavy breathing, as if he had been seriously injured.

She asked a few questions consecutively but did not hear a sound coming from behind her. Thinking about his current serious injuries, he probably didn't have the ability to kill her. In the end, her curiosity overcame her fear. She carefully turned her head and met a pair of eyes that were as cold as ice. Although it was not winter now, she could not help but shiver a little and ask indistinctly.

"You … Who is it? Why are we here? " The man sat on the ground and looked up at her. Because of the cover of the night, she could not see his face clearly. She could not help but take a step back and bravely said,

"If you don't mind, I just want to see if you fainted. Can you take this off?" He used his eyes to indicate the sword shining with a cold light on his neck as he spoke in a low voice.

The injured person, upon seeing her cowardly appearance, didn't seem to be of any threat to him, so he immediately put down his sword. Ruan Xiaonuan stretched her neck to confirm that it was still there before she let out a sigh of relief. In the faint moonlight, she saw that it was a young, stern face, but it was too dark to see clearly.

"Why are you hurt? You shouldn't be someone from the Imperial Palace, right? Then why did you appear in the palace? Could he be trying to kill someone? " She seemed to be talking to herself. Lin Zian, who was lying on the ground, was annoyed by her. He finally said the first sentence.

"Shut up!" Her voice was the same as his own, exuding a boundless coldness. Ruan Xiaonuan was frightened by him and immediately shut her mouth tightly, she did not make any sound, and because she did not make any noise, the room became even quieter.
