Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Lin Zian's sword was about to pierce into Gu Junxiu's back, she nervously closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, he saw that Gu Junxiu had already brought her away from this fatal strike. However, before she could regain his senses, the two of them had already started fighting.

Xiao Qi watched on anxiously from the side, but because of the sharp attacks, he was simply unable to get close. Gu Junxiu's martial arts cultivation, was more than enough to deal with Lin Zian, but because they had to protect Ruan Xiaonuan at any time, the two of them fought to a standstill.

Gu Junxiu looked at her irritably, and said coldly, "Shut up!"

She knew that her words had disturbed him, so she immediately shut her mouth tightly. However, just as he was distracted, Lin Zian found an opportunity to take advantage of it. He struck towards Gu Junxiu's vital points, and only had enough time to avoid the fatal points, but the sword still pierced through his chest. She tightly covered her mouth as he helplessly looked at his wound.

However, Lin Zian still did not plan to give up, and actually picked up his sword and rushed over, Ruan Xiaonuan did not think of anything else, and directly blocked in front of Gu Junxiu, and said stubbornly: "If you insist on killing him, then kill me first."

Although there was no fear on her face, her heart was in her throat. She was actually betting his life as a wager. Betting that Lin Zian still had a trace of reason, and wouldn't kill his savior.

She felt that Gu Junxiu's hands were pulling her, but she did not move, and still stood in front of him. Lin Zian made up his mind. He wanted to kill her, but the sword stopped a foot away from her. Ruan Xiaonuan didn't feel any pain and opened her eyes to see Lin Zian's cold face.

He glanced at her and immediately broke through the layers of guards, taking Lin Lin away from the carriage. Ruan Xiaonuan didn't care about all this at the moment, she said in a sobbing tone, "Are you alright?"

When Gu Junxiu saw the tears on her face, he lightly wiped them away and said with all his might, "It's alright, don't worry!" As he finished speaking, his head tilted, and he fell into Ruan Xiaonuan's embrace. She anxiously slapped his face and kept saying, "Wake up, wake up."

However, Gu Junxiu's eyes were tightly shut, and could not hear what she was saying at all. She helplessly looked at the guards and cried, "Hurry and bring him back to the palace. You must be gentle."

After all, Xiao Qi had always been by Gu Junxiu's side. When he saw that Gu Junxiu was injured, he could still be considered calm. Hearing her orders, he immediately went to find a carriage, and with a few people there, he jumped onto it. The horse carriage sped through the capital city.

Many commoners in the capital saw this and various versions of it appeared. But in the hearts of the common people, they held extremely high admiration for the person who was able to snatch the person from the Prince Yu.

Especially when they saw that the Prince Yu was injured, in their hearts, they felt that that person's martial arts were unfathomably profound. There were all sorts of opinions on that person's identity, and almost everyone had their own opinions.

On that day, Gu Junxiu was pierced by Lin Zian's sword. Ruan Xiaonuan had never seen so much blood flowing through a stream of people and had always been extremely worried in his heart. After sending the person back to the Zhaoyang Palace, he immediately called for the imperial physician. Seeing that Gu Junxiu still had his eyes closed, a burst of guilt filled his heart.

Because Lin Zian's sword attack was originally aimed at her, but he had protected her in time, causing him to be unable to completely dodge it.

Ruan Xiaonuan never thought that he would do this. He had always emphasized that she was only a prisoner of war, but was willing to sacrifice her life to save herself. She did not hate him at all when she saw his pale face, as if he had changed her previous thoughts.

Xiao Qi could not bear to see her crying anymore, so he said unhappily, "You still have the nerve to cry here, if it wasn't for you at that time, would something have happened to His Highness? With your highness' martial arts cultivation, you cannot possibly be at a disadvantage. "

Ruan Xiaonuan knew that she was in the wrong, and did not refute a single word as she stood there. She kept her eyes on the basin of blood as she carried it out. Suddenly, her stomach spasmed and she rushed out of the room as if she couldn't breathe. Eunuch Su did not see a bright yellow figure walking towards him. When she saw that a Young Eunuch ignored the emperor, she wanted to reprimand him, but was stopped by Gu Qingcheng.

"No problem, he must be in a hurry, there's no need to worry about it."

Right now, what he was most anxious about was Gu Junxiu's injuries, and as for anything else, he didn't even care about it. When he entered the room, the imperial physician had just finished bandaging him up, and turned to see Gu Qingcheng standing behind him. He spared himself the red tape and asked anxiously, "How is Prince Yu doing now?"

"No worries for my life. Thankfully, that sword thrust missed. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to escape." The imperial physician replied truthfully.

Gu Qingcheng was finally relieved. When he heard about the assassination attempt on Gu Junxiu and Su Desheng's description of it, he knew how dangerous it was. He was not in the mood to listen to their chatter as he hurried to Zhaoyang Palace.

Because Ruan Xiaonuan had suddenly left just now, she had missed out on the man who held the most power. She had just experienced those thrilling events and was in a trance. And since Gu Junxiu was unconscious, she blamed all of the crimes on herself, pressing down on her until she couldn't breathe.

After walking around outside for a bit, he felt a little bit more relaxed. Just as he was about to go back and check on the situation, an uninvited guest blocked his way. She raised her eyes to look at the unfriendly Chu Ying, wanting to take a detour, not wanting to waste anymore time.

However, no matter where Ruan Xiaonuan went, he was stopped by her. In the end, she became angry and said helplessly, "Miss Chu, just tell me what you want to do, but please don't stop this servant."

When she saw the unfriendly look in her eyes, she knew that today was definitely not a good day. However, she was in a depressed mood and wanted to leave as soon as possible. However, Chu Ying stopped her and said, "I have something to say."

She said those words with an commanding tone, as if she was the aloof master of the Zhaoyang Palace and Ruan Xiaonuan was only a lowly slave.
