Ruan Xiaonuan was dissatisfied with her tone, she was angry in his heart, and did not give her any face to say, "I'm busy, I still have things to do."

Because of her anger, she changed her way of addressing him. Chu Ying's expression turned even worse as she said in an unfriendly tone, "You actually have the guts to come back!"

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her in astonishment. What did it have to do with her whether she had the face to come back or not? She helplessly said, "Miss Chu, this servant is from the Zhaoyang Palace, why can't I come back?" Chu Ying's expression was extremely terrible, as she looked at her in disdain, "You're only a lowly slave, don't think too highly of yourself."

Hearing that, Ruan Xiaonuan became even angrier, she looked at her strangely, "Miss Chu, this servant doesn't understand, you are just a nameless beauty gifted by the Emperor, according to your level, you are only slightly higher than a servant, don't you think that you are already the future wangfei?"

When she finished speaking, Chu Ying's face was deathly pale. If anyone found out that she had this ambition, they would definitely not be able to survive in Zhaoyang Palace.

Ruan Xiaonuan noticed the change in her expression and thought proudly in his heart, "You want to fight with me again?"

This was all thanks to the level difference between the Director Liu and herself back in the royal kitchen. Later on, she roughly understood that he was in the lowest position in the palace.

However, this was not absolute. If some servants were valued highly by their masters, they would have much more face than the lowly concubines in the palace. She thought that Chu Ying would let her go, but just as she was about to leave, she was stopped.

After being stopped again and again, the anger in her heart rose, and her voice turned cold as she said, "We have nothing to say to each other, if you want to know about His Highness' situation, you should ask for yourself."

"As long as you are by His Highness's side, he will be in trouble. Why didn't you get killed by that assassin, and why did you come back?" Although Chu Ying had said that Gu Junxiu was injured, she had pushed all the responsibility onto her.

Ruan Xiaonuan wanted to retort, but she interrupted him first, "If it wasn't to save you, he would be safe and sound in Zhaoyang Palace right now. Why do you, a man and a woman, always want to harm her?"

Because Ruan Xiaonuan felt guilty in her heart, when she heard these words, she finally stopped talking and lowered her head in guilt. But then he looked up at her and said, "Even so, it's not your place to say anything."

Ruan Xiaonuan saw that her face had a look of craziness, and muttered a few words. She didn't want to continue speaking nonsense to her here, so he directly walked past her. This time Chu Ying did not stop her, because she had always been immersed in her own fantasy world.

Gu Junxiu pulled her hand, as if a drowning man finding a piece of floating wood that could save their lives, and he finally managed to calm down. Ruan Xiaonuan's palms were already sweating, and she wanted to pull her hands out. However, Gu Junxiu seemed to feel that she was about to leave while he was unconscious.

Ye Zichen suddenly grabbed her hand, causing red marks to appear on her white hand. Due to the excessive force, her wrist still sent waves of pain. She thought he was just a subconscious movement, and after a moment she felt his strength seemed to have lessened a little, and she tried to break free, but it tightened again.

"They're all unconscious, but they're still restless."

However, he was still unconscious. That was only a subconscious action, so when she finished her sentence, he didn't react at all.

She sat there fuming. Her hands were sticky and uncomfortable from the sweat, but she could only let him hold her. As she was angry, she saw that his lips seemed to be moving, as if he were saying something. Because the voice was too soft, she could only listen closely. She heard a few scattered words that seemed to be, "Bai Zhi!"

This seemed to be the name of a woman, but what kind of woman would she be that would actually be remembered by Gu Junxiu?

Could he be the person he liked?

When this thought appeared in Ruan Xiaonuan's mind, a burst of bitterness arose in his heart. However, he immediately tried her best to suppress this feeling, causing a smile to appear on her face. Because if he really did have a girl she liked, she would definitely let her go. Thinking of this, her smile became even brighter. As for the slight bitterness in her heart, she had long forgotten about it.

"Cough …" Hearing Gu Junxiu's voice, she immediately stared at him. After waiting for a little longer, he finally opened his eyes. He looked a bit confused, a bit unlike his usual cold appearance.

"You're awake!" Ruan Xiaonuan said in joy.

When he heard this, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a charming smile. When Ruan Xiaonuan saw this smile, she looked at him in a daze, and spoke with a silly tone, "Can you not laugh like that!?"

Because of what she had said, Gu Junxiu's smile grew even wider, but it inadvertently caused his wounds to hurt. Hearing her cry out in pain, Ruan Xiaonuan asked in concern, "How are you doing? Is there anything wrong? "

Because of the bandage, he was only wearing a single piece of clothing. And because he had struggled to sit up, and the dress had fallen off, he was now wearing nothing at all. She hadn't felt anything just now, but because of her concerned actions, she had accidentally caught a glimpse of it.

She pretended not to see anything and looked away in embarrassment. Gu Junxiu took a good look at the changes in her expression and saw that she had turned her face away.
