Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Although Ruan Xiaonuan was curious about the identity of the man, she didn't dare to act rashly. However, she was also a person who could not calm down. Not long after, she completely forgot about that person's cold attitude from before. Standing there, not daring to step forward, she asked in a soft voice.

"How's your injury?"

Ye Zichen didn't expect her concern to be met with that person's disdainful laughter. Although his voice was still cold, it might be because he was injured, but it sounded a bit weak. She asked curiously.

"What are you laughing at?"

A eunuch is indeed a eunuch. He has no manliness at all." "How embarrassing for a man." If Ruan Xiaowang was really a man, she would probably be very angry upon hearing these words. However, she was a woman, so she was completely unmoved by his words. He said calmly,

"It's a pity that a person like me can send you to see the King of Hell right now." She suddenly placed a sharp dagger on his neck, just as he had before.

Lin Zian wanted to resist, but he lost too much blood. He didn't have any strength left in his body, so he could only be threatened by her. Ruan Xiaonuan intentionally brought the dagger closer, and said indifferently.

"This dagger of mine might not be as sharp as your sword, but if you try to do something and accidentally lose your life, you can only blame yourself."

Actually, in Ruan Xiaonuan's heart, she was more afraid than anyone else. If Lin Zian observed carefully, he would be able to see that her hands were slightly trembling. Because she had never done such a thing before, as long as she wasn't careful, then all his life would be gone. Little beads of sweat constantly appeared on her white forehead, but she had no time to care about it.

As if he was already prepared to die, Lin Zian closed his eyes. His expression was solemn, without a single trace of fear. In fact, he was making it difficult for her to get off the stage. Originally, she only wanted to threaten him and not make him act so arrogantly, as if she had no intention of killing him.

She wanted to take the dagger away, but he felt that he had no face. The two could only stand there in a stalemate. Lin Zian waited for a long time, but still did not feel any pain.

"Do it, do you not even dare to kill? If you don't attack now, when I recover my strength, the one who will die today will be you. " Ruan Xiaonuan put on a brave front and said:

"Who says I don't dare? I just want you to die here. If others were to know about it, I would definitely not be able to explain it." "Furthermore, you are still severely injured. Wouldn't it be very immoral for me to do this? I'll let you go tonight and get out of here before I change my mind."

Another chuckle. As if he knew what she was thinking, there was obvious disdain on his stern face. Ruan Xiaonuan knew that he was laughing at her again. Anger burned in her heart, wanting to repeat the same trick, when suddenly, she heard the sound of the imperial guards coming from outside.

"I clearly saw someone coming this way, how did he disappear?"

"Continue searching around. He was injured by this king just now, and he is definitely still in Zhaoyang Palace." Hearing this, Ruan Xiaonuan looked at Lin Zian in shock, her eyes filled with admiration. He gave her a thumbs-up and looked at her suspiciously, wondering what she was up to.

"Let's go in and take a look." Following Gu Junxiu's order, the imperial guards outside seemed to plan to come in. She quietly looked at him, and decisively stuffed Lin Zian under the bed, not caring if he agreed or not. Just as she was lighting the candles, Gu Junxiu pushed open the door and asked sleepily.

"Your Highness, what's going on? "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?"

Gu Junxiu saw her nightgown drop a little, revealing his pure white shoulders. Like a gust of wind, he pulled her clothes away. He looked around the room, but didn't find anything unusual under the bed.

"There are assassins in the palace, be more alert when you sleep."

Ruan Xiaonuan pretended not to know anything and said fearfully.

"Where is he now?" Ye Zichen suddenly looked at him worriedly and said,

"Then, is His Highness injured?" Because of her concern, Gu Junxiu's face revealed a smile, and his voice became much gentler.

"It's fine. Be careful." After he finished speaking, he immediately left with the imperial guards.

With a sigh of relief, Ruan pulled him out from under the bed. Because the candle had not yet been extinguished, she could finally make out his face. He was another rare handsome man. Although he wasn't as delicate as Gu Junxiu, his features were sharp and his face was grave. The coldness from this person's body seemed to come from his bones. Ruan Xiaowang could not help but take a few steps back to ease the coldness that was constantly radiating from her body.

"Did you just ask my opinion?" Lin Zian asked coldly. Coincidentally, a gust of cold wind blew from the window, adding to the fact that he did not make any noise due to the lack of temperature, she felt even colder. He then said in embarrassment,

"Didn't you only think of this method just now? Could it be that you want to fall into Gu Junxiu's hands?" He felt a twinge of shame at the thought of hiding under his bed in order to survive. If the city were known, how would he face the others? It would have been better if he had been captured, or at least died with honor.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not know what the ancient people were thinking. She felt that there was nothing more important than living, this small sacrifice was nothing. She asked in confusion,

"Is there a problem with me saving your life?"

With Lin Zian's good upbringing, when he met her, he could not help but scold her on the inside. He turned his head to the other side to avoid being angered to death by her. Ruan Xiaonuan said as she walked to his side, completely unaware.

"You say that you look like a dog, but why do you insist on becoming an assassin? Or should I go and assassinate the Prince Yu who would kill people without batting an eyelid? " She looked at him with admiration and said,

"You're the first person I've seen who dared to challenge him, and you can even escape. Just for this reason, I'll help you, because someone as daring as you is really too rare."

"Aren't you his eunuch? "Why would they side with outsiders?" It was as if Ruan Xiaonuan had found a bosom friend, pulling him along as she began to endlessly speak of Gu Junxiu's evil deeds, as if there was only devil in heaven and earth.

However, Lin Zian looked at the deep look of disgust on her face. He had been observing the situation outside the whole time from under the bed, so he naturally did not miss the look in Gu Junxiu's eyes, as if it was unlike what she had said.
