Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Gu Junxiu sensed that she was afraid, and for some reason, a nameless fire ignited in her heart.

His slender fingers pinched Ruan Xiaonuan's small chin, and his tone was no longer as calm as before. Instead, as if it came from a hole in the ice, he spoke word by word, "You keep saying that this king is cruel, but yourself? Didn't you and that old thief Sikong Shu always discuss how to take my life? "

Ruan Xiaonuan already knew that he would misunderstand, but she didn't know how to explain it. She said very softly, "I've never done such a thing."

The truth was as she had thought, not only did Gu Junxiu not believe her, he thought that she was trying to get his sympathy, and said even more sarcastically, "If he did not see through your plan by chance, I'm afraid that you would have long been in discussion in Ling Yue Guo about how to kill this duke."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Unfortunately, you have followed beside This King for so long. Don't you know when This King will do something like letting a tiger loose and returning to the mountain? "You're too naive!"

Ruan Xiaonuan's expression changed a few times, but she did not think that she was wrong, and said unhappily: "No matter what, you should not have killed all those people." Gu Junxiu scoffed, it was no wonder that Ling Yue Congress had been breached in just a few days. With such an indecisive monarch, how could the people below him be any better.

When he saw her stubborn eyes, he suddenly let go of her chin and said in a calm tone, "You can only obediently stay by this duke's side in the future. As for returning to the Lingyue Kingdom, I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible."

Ruan Xiaonuan scolded herself in her heart, "You have no backbone," because when he heard these words, the anger in his heart had actually been extinguished, and she deliberately asked, "Since you're so cautious of me, why are you still keeping me by your side?

Gu Junxiu said as he looked at her arrogantly, "With just your two little tricks, you don't have to worry about anything in the future."

Ruan Xiaonuan muttered in dissatisfaction, "Who dares to look down on people like that?"

No matter what he did, she only needed to know that he still couldn't bear to part with her and wanted to keep her by his side. That was enough. When Gu Junxiu saw the change in her expression, he roughly understood that she had thought it through. Finally, he explained in a friendly tone, "I didn't tell you about this matter, afraid that you would be found out. I thought that you wouldn't go with them, but who knew that you would still leave the palace in the end."

"This matter shall be cleared up just like this. Let's not talk about it, I also did not want to return to the State of Ling Yue." Just as Ruan Xiaonuan finished speaking, she suddenly remembered hearing the name of the happy and forlorn monarch before. She knew that she was exactly the same as him, except that she was trapped by a man.

After being locked up for a day, Ruan Xiaonuan finally saw the light of day again. Just as she was released, she ran around Zhaoyang Palace once more, feeling the free air outside, and was in an exceptionally good mood.

Only Zi Juan knew that she had been placed under house arrest. The others only thought that she had disappeared for a day, and this didn't arouse any other people's curiosity within the palace.

"Xiao Qi, you have to go see His Highness again? He should be in the study room right now." Ruan Xiaonuan took the initiative and said as she saw Xiao Qi hurrying past.

When Xiao Qi saw that she was a little careless and that he didn't have any Ruler's Qi, he was still unwilling to believe that such a person was actually the ruler of the Ling Yue Nation. He only looked at her suspiciously for a while before hurrying past.

It was unknown if it was because the heavens couldn't bear to seehisr in such a good mood, but when he was walking around, her first reaction was to pretend that he didn't see Chu Ying. However, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Little Eunuch Ruan, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I have something that I need to trouble you with."

Ruan Xiaonuan frowned. This woman had a belly full of bad ideas. She calmly asked, "What orders do you have for me, Miss Chu?"

Chu Ying said naturally, "I was confused about the things that happened before, so don't take it to heart, eunuch."

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't know what she wanted to say, and decided to follow what she said, "You're overthinking things, this servant never took it to heart." She's not in front of her now, she's talking about me. Knowing that she would secretly cause trouble for others, she became more cautious as well.

"Eunuch is too polite. I have something to ask of you today." Chu Ying said with a smile.

When Ruan Xiaonuan followed her back to Jin Xuan Residence, she started to regret. She was just being polite, she did not expect Chu Ying to take it seriously. She puzzledly asked, "What orders does Miss Chu have?"

After hesitating for a long time, he said, "I kept a cat, but when it climbed onto the roof just now, the people here didn't know what to do. They thought that you, Little Eunuch Ruan, would definitely think of a way to help me, right?"

Ruan Xiaonuan thought about her words for a long time, but didn't find anything wrong, so she asked with relief, "Go find a ladder over here."

When she was young, she had lived in the countryside for a while, but she had climbed all the nearby trees, so climbing the roof wasn't difficult for her. The ladder was found, but Chu Ying said with difficulty, "This ladder has not been used for a long time, and there are many parts that are not strong and sturdy. Eunuch, are you sure you want to go up?"

Ruan Xiaonuan checked it again and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you change it?"

He did not expect Chu Ying to actually have tears in her eyes, and said while sobbing, "The people in the palace are all snobbish, knowing that I am not to be pampered by Your Highness, no matter what it is, they are all kowtow Jin Xuan."

When Ruan Xiaonuan saw the ladder, she wanted to reject it immediately because she did not dare to take the risk. However, Chu Ying just looked at her tearfully and more than half of Jin Xuan Residence's people were staring at her. She couldn't get down from the tiger now, so she could only bite the bullet and go up. When she reached the roof, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking down, her mind was in a trance. She did not expect it to be this high. However, Chu Ying was actually sitting inside the house, with her slender fingers holding onto a cup of tea, waiting for a good show. There was no cat on the roof at all. That was all an excuse she had come up with on the spur of the moment.

If Ruan Xiaonuan fell from the top of the ladder, even if she didn't die, he would be half crippled. At that time, she would see how she could seduce the man, and when the corners of Chu Ying's mouth curled up into a cruel smile, when Yu Er accidentally saw it, she instantly felt a chill.

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't know what was going on as she walked up and down the roof, trembling. The roofs were tilted a little, and with the glazed tiles in the way, it was difficult for her to walk on them. She carefully moved her feet in an attempt to find the cat.
