Ruan Xiaonuan's voice was a little shrill, sounding just like a woman's voice. It was just that most of the people present focused on the dagger hanging on her neck, so no one doubted her identity. However, she herself did not seem to notice this, as she scolded Lin Zian until his head was drenched in dog blood. Everyone around her shot sympathetic gazes at him.

"Have you scolded enough?" He said coldly. Deliberately pushing the dagger into her skin, Ruan Xiaonuan felt fear in her heart, and seeing that he did not do anything, she felt more at ease.

After which, he came to the realization that he still needed to rely on himself to leave the palace. There was no way he would kill him. Thus, he said even more brazenly, "If I knew you were this kind of person, I would have let you die just now."

However, these words were spoken in a soft voice that only the two of them could hear. Lin Zian's expression did not change at all, and said with a calm voice, "It's a pity that you saved me."

Actually, his original intention wasn't to do this, but he couldn't think of any other way. He also didn't want to fall into Gu Junxiu's hands, so he thought of this method.

It's a little unethical, but it's effective. He looked at him coldly and arrogantly, "I know that your relationship with this eunuch is not simple. If you want him to live, then quickly let me go and stop chasing after my father."

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't know if she should rejoice or cry. She didn't think that she would actually become the bane of her beauty. Could it be that what she looked like was actually a devastatingly beautiful beauty, and she just hadn't realized it herself? She did not have the consciousness to be a hostage. Instead, she stood there in a daze.

When she returned to the real world once again, Gu Junxiu was standing a few steps away from her with his mouth wide open in shock. Ye Zichen was stunned, but he did not manage to react. What happened just now? She tried to twist his neck to see how Lin Zian was doing, but he couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Just as she turned his head just now, the dagger pierced into her flesh even more, causing his to feel as if liquid was flowing out of her neck. Finally, she no longer had the fearless look from before, his tears were about to fall, and he said in a choked voice, "Let me go, I am just an insignificant Young Eunuch, I can't be a threat at all. Then, on account of the fact that I've just bandaged you up, let me leave. This is your problem, go and settle it yourselves. "

"Be more honest." Lin Zian said impatiently, he grabbed her arm tightly, not allowing her to move, just that the short sword was a bit far, but it still had not left her neck. After making sure that she was alright, he looked at Gu Junxiu and asked, "What are your thoughts now?"

When he saw the tears in Ruan Xiaonuan's eyes, his heart softened. There was an idea that he wanted to wipe away. After considering it for a while, he said, "This King can let you go, but you must ensure her safety."

The night wind fluttered his white robes, making him look like a fairy. Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him blankly, thinking that he would let go of the person who tried to kill him just for his own sake.

It was at this moment that a wave of warmth flowed through her heart, filling her with a sense of security. It was just that the other two men didn't know what he was thinking right now. Lin Zian said with a strange voice, "I didn't expect that Prince Yu was still a person who cared for women." Gu Junxiu looked at him like he was looking at a clown.

When Hua Qingse, who had rushed over after hearing the news, saw this scene, she was shocked, but she did not agree with what Gu Junxiu had done. He whispered to him, "Your Highness, if we let the Lin Family go, all of our efforts will be for naught."

Gu Junxiu's heart had already been made up, furthermore, Lin Zian still had Ruan Xiaonuan, and he would not change his mind. He didn't even look at Hua Qingse, but said to him, "This king has already agreed to your conditions. When are you going to release him?"

His cold face finally revealed a smile, and he suddenly jumped up with Ruan Xiaonuan. After a few leaps, they disappeared from their sight, and only his voice came from mid-air, "If Prince Yu wants someone to be safe, then do not secretly send people to kill him."

Gu Junxiu shot a cold glance in the direction he left in. At this moment, anxiety was written all over his calm face as he asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

When he had decided to settle the matter of the civil officials in the imperial court, he had already known that such a thing would happen. It was just that he did not expect Ruan Xiaonuan to be involved. It seemed that he was too careless and thought that the Zhaoyang Palace was safe. His voice was cold as he said, "Lin Zian won't kill him now. We can't act rashly right now, lest we anger him.

Since the time Hua Qingse had met Gu Junxiu, she had never heard such a cold voice. Even when he stood at the side, he couldn't help but shiver.

Also because of what happened tonight, it caused him to start to become curious about Ruan Xiaonuan's identity. He was not some beauty that could topple cities, but had instead made the renowned Prince Yu not hesitate to hide a beauty for her sake. Now, he had even let go of the assassin.

Gu Junxiu hid what happened in Zhaoyang Palace tonight from the public, and did not leak a single word in the palace. Even Gu Qingcheng did not know what happened last night, it was just that he felt absent-minded in the morning assembly, and wanted to ask them about it. However, Eunuch Su did not manage to block his way at all. He disappeared in an instant.

When Ruan Xiaonuan woke up, she found herself in a place that was similar to a woodshed, except that her hands and feet were not tied. She wanted to open the door, but she didn't expect the door to actually be opened by her with just a light push. She remembered last night, when Lin Zian seemed to have brought her out of the Imperial Palace, what had happened after that? She forcefully lowered her head. The events from last night surfaced in her mind.

Lin Zian seemed to have brought her to a villa, and she angrily pulled him back then, "Is this how you treat your savior?"

However, Lin Zian merely looked at her coldly, and before he left, he seemed to have said "I'm sorry" to her. She thought she had misheard him because he had apologized. He closed the door as soon as she tried to reconfirm. After that, nothing else seemed to have happened. In the end, she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. He lay down on a pile of firewood and fell asleep.
