Ruan Xiaonuan did not stop her. She had wanted to have a good talk with Gu Junxiu from the start, but she did not know if he was willing to see her. When Zi Juan ran to the main hall, Gu Junxiu and Hua Qingse was discussing something, so she said softly outside, "Your Highness, this servant has a matter to discuss." The two people in the hall turned to look at her.

"Since Your Highness has matters to attend to, I will discuss this matter next time." He left the Proclamation of Liberation without batting an eye. Gu Junxiu let out an indiscernible sigh, and asked with a bland voice: "What is it?"

Zi Juan said anxiously, "Miss wants to see Your Highness!"

Gu Junxiu seemed to be stunned for a moment, but then he nodded and said, "This king knows."

When Zi Juan walked out of the Proclamation of Liberation Hall, her mind was still a little muddled. Was His Highness going or not? When Ruan Xiaonuan saw that she had come back alone, she already knew what the result would be.

Inside the Inner Palace, everyone looked at Gu Qingcheng in fear. He would never go to a place like this all year round. The most important thing was to send people around. When they saw his today, they all felt uneasy, afraid that they had committed some great sin.

The head eunuch asked with cold sweat dripping down his forehead, "Your Majesty, what orders do you have for this servant?" Gu Qingcheng was actually not the type to be fiendish, but he had a high position for a long time. Even if he sat there, he would still have the imposing aura of someone who did not get angry.

He looked around and roughly knew who it was. "Bring me the names of the eunuchs who were registered last year."

The head eunuch didn't dare be negligent at all and immediately took out a thin book. Gu Qingcheng flipped through it and finally saw a familiar name.

However, there was no history to it, he did not even raise his head and asked: "Who is this Ruan Xiaonuan?"

The head eunuch heaved a sigh of relief. Regarding this person, he had a deep impression of him. He said affirmatively, "Because he was brought in here by the Prince Yu. If Your Highness doesn't say, this servant will not be able to ask."

The place that Gu Qingcheng and Gu Junxiu resembled was that pair of phoenix eyes. When he looked at the others, he would cause them to fall in love with him. He looked up at him and said, "So you got away with it?" If he had some ulterior motive, wouldn't he be in danger if he were to put this matter in the palace? "

When Gu Qingcheng saw Ruan Xiaonuan that day, he was extremely curious about her identity. He didn't think that she was actually the Young Eunuch who was making an uproar when talking to Gu Junxiu previously.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant was the one who did the wrong thing." The head eunuch could not tell whether he was angry or not, but it was not wrong to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

"All the palace maids and eunuchs come from the internal organs, yet you, as the head eunuch, dare to do such a thing? How can the masters of each palace be at ease?" The head eunuch's face was originally pale, but now it was as if he had died. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. Very soon, his forehead was cracked.

Gu Qingcheng threw the booklet in his hand to the side and said to Su Desheng: "It's a first time offense, deduct a year's salary from him, if you commit another offense, you will be beaten to death."

After Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left. The head eunuch from the internal affairs office collapsed on the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

"Your Majesty, since we know who he is, why don't we have this old servant expel him from the palace?"

Since the last time Ruan Xiaonuan had humiliated him, Su Desheng had always been indignant in his heart, wanting to find an almost perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson. It was just that Gu Qingcheng treated him differently, so he did not dare act without permission. He did not expect the heavens to send him a great opportunity so quickly.

However, Gu Qingcheng did not answer him for a long time. He recalled the last time he saw Ruan Xiaonuan, she did not seem to be afraid of anything, and suddenly felt that she did not resemble the people from the rumors. After a long time, he said, "If you don't interfere in this matter, I will have my revenge."

Su Desheng and his disappointment, wanted to say something more, but Gu Qingcheng was not in the mood to listen. Ruan Xiaonuan was like a thorn in his heart, as long as she thought of what she said that day, Su Desheng really wanted to drive her out of the palace.

Ruan Xiaonuan had been locked up in that small room for an entire day, she was restlessly pacing back and forth in the room. She understood that Gu Junxiu was trying to imprison her here. Zi Juan would bring her the things she needed on time, but she wouldn't let her go out, the door was always locked.

In the end, she could no longer hold it in and ran to the door of the room that was tightly locked, and loudly shouted, "Gu Junxiu, come out right now."

Her words exhausted all of her strength, causing her voice to become especially loud. When she was completely exhausted, and heard the sound of the lock turning outside, she retreated a step and saw a tall figure standing at the doorway. She said in shock and anger, "Gu Junxiu, you finally gave up."

Gu Junxiu walked in, and when he saw her crazy appearance, he frowned and cautiously closed the door. He frowned at her and said,

"Why are you looking for This King?" When Ruan Xiaonuan saw her, all of her discontented emotions found a point to vent. She hysterically said, "Are you planning on keeping me under house arrest here?" Gu Junxiu glanced at her but he did not nod or shake his head.

When Ruan Xiaonuan saw his godlike face, other than seeing her angry, he didn't have any other thoughts in her heart. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she got even angrier. She stared into his eyes and said, "Say something."

She took a deep breath and continued, "Earlier, you clearly knew that Sikong Shu and the others were secretly watching us act like a clown. You thought that it was fun, didn't you?"

She spoke very quickly, as if she was gritting her teeth while speaking each word. Gu Junxiu sat there with a normal expression. After she finished speaking, she said, "Shen Yuerong, are you resenting that this king has messed up your plans so that you don't have a chance to join the Ling Yue Kingdom?"

Another reason why Gu Junxiu hid this matter was because he wanted to know whether she truly gave up on everything in the Ling Yue Kingdom. Although no one would believe it when they heard about it, the famous Prince Yu in the world would still have times of uncertainty. Unfortunately, when he found out that Ruan Xiaonuan had followed him out of the palace, he was extremely disappointed.

He resisted the urge to immediately bring her back to the palace. Even when he saw her afterwards, he deliberately avoided her gaze. For her, he took the risk of being suspected by the Xiyue Kingdom and hid her within the palace. He thought that he would be able to move her heart because of this, but he didn't expect that everything was in vain.

When Ruan Xiaonuan heard this name, she was stunned for a long time. Seeing his gloomy expression, she didn't dare to continue shouting. Instead, she shrunk her neck and looked at him with eyes filled with fear.
