Ruan Xiaonuan secretly touched her neck, which was wrapped up in a cloth. She was even more curious in her heart. Just how was he able to tell that she was a woman with a single glance?

"I've been in the palace for decades. As long as someone stands in front of me, I'll immediately know whether you're a man or a woman." Ruan Xiaonuan actually saw a glimmer in her eyes.

Instinctively, the person in front of her was not a simple character. She wanted to turn around and leave. However, his old voice said, "I have been alone in this palace for many years, and no one has ever been here before. "Why don't you accompany this old woman and have a good chat?"

Only now did Ruan Xiaonuan know that the person in front of him who was neither a human nor a ghost, was actually a old nanny. After she finished speaking, she walked into the palace with trembling hands.

Ruan Xiaonuan stood there and hesitated a little. She had never seen that place before and did not know what kind of place it would be like. However, the old granny did not seem to see him as he walked a few steps forward. "I'm the only one here, I can't harm you."

Ruan Xiaonuan felt a chill from the bottom of her feet, she felt that there was nothing she could hide from her, no matter what she thought, she would always know. She closed her eyes and followed her into the dark palace.

The furnishings inside were similar to what she had expected, because this palace was relatively remote and could not be exposed to the sunlight all year round. It was a little eerie inside, very similar to those horror movies.

While she was observing her surroundings, the old nanny appeared behind her like a ghost, "Sit, this old lady only has coarse tea here." She sat there, embarrassed, with a cup of tea in her hand, not knowing how to take it.

"What is it? Do you dislike coarse tea? Or are you afraid of poison? " Ruan Xiaonuan immediately shook her head. She did not dare to let her imagination run wild as she was afraid that her thoughts would be exposed.

She drank the tea in one gulp, not as bad as she had imagined. Seeing that the old nanny just sat there silently, she couldn't help but ask, "Old granny, why are you here alone? And can you not tell anyone else who I am? " She pleaded humbly.

Ruan Xiaonuan felt that after the old lady finished listening to her words, disdain appeared on his face. After a while, she heard an uncomfortable body say, "I'm just curious about why a good girl like you would dress like that. As for the rest, I don't want to know."

Ruan Xiaonuan heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Although she had just met this person, she believed in what she had said. She felt that it was beneath her to do such a thing. There was nothing to worry about, so she relaxed a lot and asked curiously, "Why are you here alone? What happened to the wound on your face? "

Unexpectedly, the grandma's expression suddenly changed. She put away the porcelain cup on the table, pushed her out, closed the door, and said from the inside, "It's already late, you should leave. Don't come again in the future."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked curiously at the sky, it was still bright and sunny, where was it too late? However, she was not a fool. It was likely that the old granny from before had some secret that she was not willing to reveal to others. She had touched upon her inner thoughts.

However, the more she didn't let him know, the more she wanted to know. Even on the way back, she was still a little absent-minded. When she thought of asking Gu Junxiu when she got back, she would always know about this matter. Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.

At this moment, inside the Zhaoyang Palace, Hua Qingse walked into Gu Junxiu's study as usual. When he saw Gu Junxiu, he asked with a faint smile, "What's the matter?"

Hua Qingse suddenly kneeled on the ground, with a calm expression, she spoke with a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Your Highness, I have almost dealt with the matter of the imperial court officials, there is no need for me to stay in the palace."

When Gu Junxiu heard this, he fell silent for a long time. He didn't want to lose such a strategist, so he said to him, "If you don't want to stay in the palace, then this king will build a mansion for you outside. His Majesty has already promised you a position and position."

Gu Junxiu had already settled his matters, he did not wish for such a person to be buried in the mountains.

However, Hua Qingse was not grateful, she continued to kneel on the ground and continued to explain at a moderate pace, "Your Highness, I do not wish to stay in the imperial court."

Gu Junxiu was helpless, but he began to be angry in his heart. He raised his voice and said, "Have you forgotten that your junior sister is still in the palace? Do you want her to be alone in the palace? "

Hua Qingse was silent, but she did not immediately agree. Gu Junxiu rubbed his forehead with a headache. He had already mentioned him to Gu Qingcheng before, if he suddenly disappeared, the two brothers would inevitably be separated.

When Ruan Xiaonuan returned to the Zhaoyang Palace, she saw him sitting there by herself. She went up cautiously and covered his eyes with her hands, then said with a very coarse voice on purpose, "Guess who I am?"

Gu Junxiu laughed helplessly, then took her hands off and carried her to his side, saying, "Warm, stop messing around."

Ruan Xiaonuan unhappily drooped the corner of her mouth, and said unwillingly, "Why do you always guess correctly?"

Gu Junxiu could not help but smack her head and helplessly explain, "Other than you, who else would have the guts to do so in the palace?"

She pretended to be suddenly enlightened and finally understood the reason behind this. Ruan Xiaonuan nestled in his embrace, and looking up and seeing worry between his brows, couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen?"

Gu Junxiu initially did not want to tell her about this, but she kept on pestering him. After listening to what he had to say, Ruan Xiaonuan said with certainty, "There's nothing to worry about, flower Mr will definitely stay." Gu Junxiu thought that she didn't want to cause him trouble and purposefully said that so, so he didn't take it to heart.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not notice his perfunctory attitude and excitedly explained, "flower Mr and Chu Ying are junior brothers and sister, it is impossible for him to leave her alone in the Imperial Palace.

She intentionally bit her teeth and said the word 'woman'. Gu Junxiu looked at the little Jindan [1] and dotingly tapped her nose, then whispered into her ear, "Aren't you the only one this king's women ever had, right?"

Ruan Xiaonuan hurriedly shifted her eyes away. As long as he started to speak with such a tone, she wouldn't dare look at his face.

Because that face was truly not something that she could control. But Gu Junxiu grabbed her chin tightly, causing her to only have her eyes on his figure. He said domineeringly, "You will honestly answer This King?"
