Ruan Xiaonuan, who had returned to the palace, continued with her life as a worm. As for the follow-up to the Lin Family incident, Gu Junxiu treated it as a bedtime story and told it to her everyday, so she also knew about it.

Just as Gu Junxiu had promised Lin Zian, the people of the Lin Clan were safe and sound. However, the Lin Residence's mansion was taken back, and the Lin Clan members were not allowed to enter the capital for generations.

The Lin Clan, which had once been incomparably glorious, vanished into thin air in the span of a single night. It was truly a pity for the others when they heard of it. In particular, the other aristocratic families in the capital were beginning to panic, afraid that this would be their end. Ruan Xiaonuan didn't have the time to care about what was on her mind, because the most important thing for her every day was to wait for Gu Junxiu to return to the palace so that she could eat together with him.

However, she had a new way of passing the time recently. She recalled that the people in the palace didn't have any entertainment. She thought of modern poker. It was a simple and fun thing. Ever since she had made a deck of poker cards, she had taught the eunuchs and maids in the Zhaoyang Palace all sorts of ways to play.

Without knowing this, the beauties that the Emperor bestowed to Gu Junxiu at that time, after hearing about this game, all came to learn. Right now, the Zhaoyang Palace was like a casino, with poker players everywhere.

Because of this, Zi Jin's relationship with Ruan Xiaonuan had advanced by leaps and bounds, so almost every day, she would come to her Joyous Union to find her playmate. And when Gu Junxiu returned, he would usually not be able to find anyone. Just like today, when she was in the middle of rising up, Zi Juan whispered a few words into her ear, causing her to become a little impatient, "After this round, I will immediately go back."

Zi Juan uneasily stood there, and she didn't dare to return to face Gu Junxiu's fury. They only thought that Ruan Xiaonuan would quickly end it.

"Haha, I won again." Zi Jin said excitedly. There was another woman who also had a smile on her face.

Ruan Xiaonuan and the others were playing Landlord today, but she had lost almost an entire day. After she gave them the silver, she immediately said, "I'm not playing anymore!" Zi Jin happily received the silver and continued to invite her to come over tomorrow.

When Ruan Xiaonuan returned to the main hall, she asked in a daze when she saw Gu Junxiu's dark face, "What happened to you?" He lightly glanced at her, and indicated that Zi Juan could go down.

When the two of them were the only ones left in the room, Ruan Xiaonuan suddenly felt that it was a little strange, and could not help but laugh foolishly: "Did you eat dinner? Let's eat together. "

Her obviously fawning tone did not help Gu Junxiu quell the anger in his heart. He asked very calmly, "Where did you go just now?"

Ruan Xiaonuan knew that this was the peace before the storm, and immediately spoke out first, feeling wronged: "Since you're not in the palace, and I don't know what to do by myself, I'll find someone else to pass the time."

Gu Junxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at her. These words had given her all reason, and he had become the sinner instead.

Even so, he did not intend to let him go. The voice was extremely distant as it said, "You are someone who this king serves closely to rest in the palace. I am considerate to you. But why is it that This King didn't see anyone when he returned? "

After the two of them had communicated with each other, Gu Junxiu rarely used this term in front of her. She suddenly heard it, but he was still a little unaccustomed to it. It was as if their relationship had returned to the time when she had just entered the palace.

When she thought of this possibility, her attitude instantly turned cold. "Is that how you look at me?"

Seeing that her tone was off, Gu Junxiu's heart jumped. He said helplessly, "You really have a temper, little thing. I can't say a few words to you."

Although he understood that what he said before did not mean that, but he still turned his head to the other side, unwilling to look at.

Gu Junxiu had not shown mercy to his yet, and looked at her a little helplessly. No matter how he thought about it, he still carried her onto his lap.

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't want to have any contact with him, and wanted to struggle free. was firmly grabbed by Gu Junxiu. She said to her, "You little rascal, you have quite the temperament."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly carried Ruan Xiaonuan and headed to the inner room. Ruan Xiaonuan understood what was happening and her face immediately flushed red. The matter of her returning home late in the past few days was resolved in this way.

Although she had received a special lesson that day, she didn't stay in the main hall every day as she waited for Gu Junxiu to return like a vile wife.

She still went to find the others to play cards every day, but she returned to the main hall at the same time. She had completely forgotten that she was now a eunuch in the eyes of others. Don't get too close to the beauty of the palace.

Although Chu Ying had not stepped out of the house for the past few days, she had already gathered some information for her. When she heard that Ruan Xiaonuan and Zi Jin was close, he thought of a plan.

Ruan Xiaonuan was immersed in the entertainment that she brought along, and did not know that there was already someone eyeing her. She had not seen Chu Ying's figure for the past few days, so she could not help but ask Zi Jin, "Will Miss Chu not come with you?"

When Zi Jin heard her words, his eyes revealed contempt. She casually said, "How could she be with the rest of us? Every day she thinks about flying up the branch and becoming a phoenix. "But everyone with a discerning eye knows that His Highness doesn't even put her in his eyes, much less being an imperial concubine."

What he did not know was that her words were heard by Chu Ying who was just passing by. Yu Er saw that her face had instantly turned pale and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you alright? Let's hurry back. "

Chu Ying could not hear anything else, the only words that echoed in her mind was, "Your Highness does not place her in your eyes!"

When she saw the smile on the woman's face, she really wanted to tear her mouth apart, but reason allowed her to quickly leave the place after hearing Yu Er's words.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not talk about other people's habits behind their backs, instead she listened to Zi Jin grumbling about these beauties with a little absent-mindedness. Just as she was looking forward, she actually saw Chu Ying's figure.

She just came!

Looking in the direction she had left in, she understood why she had left so silently. It was probably because she had heard what Zi Jin had just said. With Chu Ying's vengeful character, who knew what she would do to her behind the scenes. "Miss, this servant advises you to not trust anyone else in the next few days, especially something like food."

She had been framed by Chu Ying many times, and every time, it would be those few, as she was more or less familiar with her plans.

Zi Jin did not understand, and looked at her strangely.
