Chu Ying's current mood was something that no one could understand. She had thought of a plan with much effort, but it turned out that she was helping someone else. Only, if she knew that the person was Ruan Xiaonuan, her face would have turned even more ashen.

On the second day, just as dawn broke, Ruan Xiaonuan opened his eyes. She rolled over with her eyes closed, and suddenly felt as if a stove were lying beside her. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked down. When she saw the traces of azure and violet, she felt as if she had cooked a prawn. Cover your head with a quilt.

"Is this little guy shy?" Gu Junxiu's voice was still hoarse from just waking up.

Ruan Xiaonuan felt even more ashamed to look at her, her face which was hidden under the blanket had already turned completely red. Gu Junxiu was worried that she would feel stuffy and wanted to pull away her blanket, but she held on tightly.

"You weren't so shy last night."

Ruan Xiaonuan's voice came out from under the blanket, "Don't say anymore!"

She didn't lose her memories. The moment she opened her eyes, everything that had happened last night surfaced in her mind. She started to suspect that she actually had this side to her.

"Why did you fall for the Joyous Union Powder?" Gu Junxiu suddenly asked.

After Ruan Xiaonuan heard this, she finally got out from under the blanket. She had been with him yesterday, even at mealtimes. Other than the bowl of candied fruits sent by Chu Ying, she had eaten all the evidence. Hence, she buried this conjecture in her heart.

Gu Junxiu took note of her exposed shoulder, and suddenly hugged his tightly. At first, Ruan Xiaonuan heard some protest, but gradually, only a few sounds came out.

When he got up to go to the morning assembly, Ruan Xiaonuan was still sleeping soundly. He had deliberately lowered her strength, so he couldn't bear to wake her up.

After the next court, he was summoned to the royal study. He waited there for a while before Gu Qingcheng arrived late.

"Ah Xiu, we found traces of the forest."

When Gu Junxiu heard the news, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face. His voice was cold as he asked, "Where? Chendi will bring him back. "

Although he was injured, he did not give up on searching for traces of the forest. Now that he had recovered from his injuries, it was time to bring him back for execution. However, Gu Qingcheng was worried about what happened last time, and directly allowed him to find the right person.

Gu Junxiu nodded. With Lin Zian's help, if Lin Lin Feng did not bring the person back this time, it would be even more difficult in the future.

"There's also the Imperial Examinations that were mentioned last time. When they were brought up by the imperial court earlier, we had never stopped writing. More than half of the people in the imperial court objected to this, and they even took advantage of Ancestor Gao." Gu Qingcheng said angrily.

These people were all afraid that if they let his civilians enter the imperial court, the power they held would weaken.

However, this was the goal that Gu Junxiu wanted to accomplish. His attitude was extremely resolute as he said, "Royal Brother, you can announce to the world that you have done this as soon as possible. As for the worms living in the imperial court, you can let them leave."

Gu Qingcheng's ability was not bad, but compared to Gu Junxiu, he was still lacking in courage, and relying too much on those aristocratic families, Gu Junxiu did not want to see the Xiyue Kingdom fall into another's hands a hundred years later. Therefore, he had to completely eradicate all of these aristocratic families from their roots in the imperial court.

When she returned to the Zhaoyang Palace, she saw Ruan Xiaonuan nibbling on a big piece of cloth, and saw him coming in from outside, wanting to pull his sleeves, but suddenly saw his hands full of grease, so she let go of her hands in embarrassment. However, she said excitedly, "I've discovered that the secret Red Braised Elbow in the palace is truly delicious. Quickly, come and have a taste."

Gu Junxiu looked at him lovingly, then picked up a clean cloth to wipe the grease off of her mouth bit by bit. "Do you still want to leave?"

There was still a trace of uncertainty in those words, but Ruan Xiaonuan did not hear anything. Ever since he risked her life to save her, she had not thought of leaving the Imperial Palace for a very long time. She shook her head firmly and said, "I'm not leaving."

After saying that, he picked up the elbow that he had not finished chewing on just now, and spoke with a slurred voice, "You wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food outside the palace." She was living like this more and more now.

Which girl from an aristocratic family would hold an elbow like her and gnaw on it as if no one else was around? Now that he saw her like this, not only did he not feel that she was rude, he instead liked her naivete and did not pretend.

"I'm going to capture Lin Fan this afternoon, so I'm guessing that he won't be at the Imperial Palace tonight."

There was some distance between the place where Lin Zian landed and the capital city. Furthermore, according to the scouts' information, whether it was the servants or the maids, everyone in the Yiyun Villa knew how to fight only with martial practitioners. If he wanted to bring Lin Fan away, it wouldn't be too hard. Therefore, he planned to ambush them tonight and catch them off guard.

Ruan Xiaonuan thought about it again, and did not remember who the person he mentioned was. But she dropped her delicious elbow and looked at him. "Take me with you."

Gu Junxiu didn't even think about it, and immediately rejected it.

She said unhappily, "Why didn't you bring me? "I am your personal attendant, always at your side."

He helplessly said, "I still don't know about the situation in the Yiyun Villa, but you don't have any martial arts techniques to protect yourself. Going there would only distract me."

When she heard a familiar place, she suddenly shouted, "I know the situation inside. Previously, Lin Zian was the one who locked me up there, but he allowed me to walk around the villa, so I have a good understanding of the road inside." She said confidently.

Gu Junxiu looked at her in shock, he did not expect her to bring him such a pleasant surprise. It was because the defense of the Yiyun Villa was too tight, and the people of the Imperial Court could not enter. He didn't know what was going on inside, but it looked like he had to do it without her. However, he very carefully warned, "Once we get there, you must not leave my side and also don't run around."

He did not want the last time he was kidnapped by Lin Zian to happen again.

Ruan Xiaonuan understood his worry and obediently nodded. After noon, she changed into the uniform of a guard, and followed beside Gu Junxiu. Xiao Qi pointed at her in puzzlement, "Your Highness, why did you bring her here?"

His powerless appearance would only bring them trouble.

However, Gu Junxiu did not even look at him, and said gently, "This king has his reasons."

Ruan Xiaonuan acted as if she did not see through Xiao Qi's thoughts, and proudly smiled at him, then walked to his side and said: "I have a mission to complete tonight."

The prideful tone of voice made Gu Junxiu unable to resist raising the corner of his mouth.
