Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

After Zi Juan heard her words, she covered her mouth in shock and said in disbelief, "How can this woman divorce her own husband? Isn't it going to get messy? " In her opinion, a woman should rely on a man.

Before he left the pavilion, he had to rely on his father. After she marries, her husband will be her own day. In old age, he relied on her son. So Ruan Xiaonuan's words were undoubtedly a heavy hammer, and Zi Juan stared at her fixedly, as if she had never seen her before.

Ruan Xiaonuan's shocking words from before were heard by Gu Junxiu who was standing outside the door. He returned to the Zhaoyang Palace, wanting to break the stalemate between them. She didn't expect to hear these words. Although he knew that she was a ghost from another world, he had never thought about her previous life.

Knowing that what she wanted was a pair of lovers for a lifetime, he fell silent for a few moments. This was something that would be difficult to achieve even in a normal household, not to mention the fact that he was a member of the imperial court. Gu Junxiu couldn't guarantee that he would give her the love she wanted.

He sighed at the door and planned to leave without a sound. However, Zi Juan happened to see his figure leaving and immediately shouted, "Your Highness!"

He turned his head stiffly and said, "This King has nothing better to do since I've come here."

Zi Juan was not a fool. Blessed with things, she immediately left. Ruan Xiaonuan stood there at a loss, as if the two of them had separated by quite a bit. It was still Gu Junxiu who spoke first, "Warm, are you still angry?" This was the first time he was so humble. It was obvious that he was not used to speaking in such a manner.

However, Ruan Xiaonuan still remained silent, and did not even look at him. He had no choice but to continue to explain, "Chu Ying is the daughter of an old friend, and she and Hua Qingse are also junior brothers and sisters. If I kick her out of the palace, I will lose an important advisor."

With these words, Ruan Xiaonuan could roughly guess why he had a different opinion of Chu Ying. Actually, she was not angry since long ago, it was just that she could not find a suitable explanation. Gu Junxiu took the initiative to explain, and she naturally would not continue being silent, "I was just worried that one day she would discover my female identity, and did not have the intention of exterminating her completely."

Seeing that she was willing to speak, Gu Junxiu heaved a sigh of relief. He held her in his arms and said gently, "I understand what you're worried about."

After so many days, she returned to her warm embrace and couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction. She focused on staying in Gu Junxiu's embrace. As for those worries, she didn't want to think about them at the moment.

Now that their relationship had eased up, the happiest person was Zi Juan. She finally no longer had to face Gu Junxiu's dark face all day, and it was as if the Zhaoyang Palace was revived.

Only after a few days did Ruan Xiaonuan remember that she had forgotten an important matter that day. She anxiously walked around the main hall and finally saw Gu Junxiu's figure. She immediately stepped forward and pulled him, "I have something important to tell you."

Gu Junxiu had never seen her so serious before, and could not help but laugh. "What is it?"

Ruan Xiaonuan impatiently told him about Zi Jin knowing her identity. He thought for a long time, but really did not know who Zi Jin was, so she could only ask, "Who is Zi Jin?"

On the surface, Ruan Xiaonuan looked at him with rebuke, "You don't even know who's in your own palace!"

However, her heart was incomparably sweet, because he did not remember those beauties, indicating that he did not take them to heart.

Gu Junxiu knew what she was thinking, and said while looking at her lovingly, "No matter who she is, she did not announce your identity, which means she did not have any intentions of harming others. However, leaving her in the palace is still a disaster."

This was exactly what Ruan Xiaonuan was worried about. Although she believed that Zi Jin would not harm her, but it was hard to guarantee that others would try to coerce her into doing so.

"Why don't you let her leave the palace?" Just now, she remembered that she had said that she would help her leave the palace. If Gu Junxiu had agreed, then it would have been killing two birds with one stone.

With regards to the beauties in the palace, other than Chu Ying, the rest had never stopped in his eyes. However, it was a woman gifted by the Emperor. If he drove them out of the palace, it would be a heinous crime.

Although Gu Qingcheng would not take this matter to heart, the officials from the various families in the capital continued to watch him every single day, hoping that something would happen to him so that they could teach him a lesson. However, he was not a timid person who was as timid as a mouse. Especially since this matter was related to Ruan Xiaonuan's safety, he only stayed silent for a moment before agreeing to her suggestion.

Ruan Xiaonuan impatiently ran over to the Acacia Residence and plotted with Zi Jin. Even after she had finished speaking, Zi Jin was still in a fog. She said in a daze, "Are you saying that I can leave the palace now?"

"Right, hurry up and pack up, His Highness has already agreed to let you leave the palace." Ruan Xiaonuan said anxiously. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be even more anxious than Zi Jin.

Because she was like a puppet being led by Ruan Xiaonuan to clean up and pay respects. After a long time, as if she had just woken up from a dream, she held onto Ruan Xiaonuan tightly and said, "I can leave the palace now. Little Ruan, I can go home now."

Her strength was so strong that Ruan Xiaonuan's wrist immediately had a few red marks. She cried out in pain, but she did not struggle free from Zi Jin's grasp. She smiled and nodded. Seeing the tears of joy on her face, she laughed with him.

After the excitement, Zi Jin finally calmed down. She said to Ruan Xiaonuan from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you. I know that you were the one who persuaded His Highness to agree."

She was used to seeing her carefree appearance, so she wasn't used to such an emotional scene. Scratching his head, he said embarrassedly, "This is as easy as lifting a finger. It's also beneficial to me."

She said mysteriously, "You didn't tell anyone else that I am a woman, right?"

Zi Jin regained her carefree look, facing her constantly suspecting herself, she spoke with dissatisfaction, "Don't worry, telling people about it will not benefit me at all. When His Highness agreed to let me out of the palace, it must be because of this matter."

Being teased by her, Ruan Xiaonuan's face instantly flushed red. Her head was slightly lowered, revealing the soft beauty that belonged to a woman.

Seeing her like she was soaked in love, Zi Jin could not help but feel envy in her heart, but she was not jealous at all. Because she was a person who knew her own limitations. She knew that there were some things that did not belong to her. Even if she worked hard, it would still be impossible for her to obtain them.

Zi Jin placed her packed luggage to the side and warned her repeatedly, "Chu Ying is not an easy opponent to deal with, so you must be careful of her in the palace."
