Seeing that she was already in a daze, afraid that the sharp dagger would injure Chu Ying's life, he could only helplessly say, "I promise you, put it down."

With his assurance, she finally let go of the dagger. He said joyfully, "Are you really willing to help me?"

Hua Qingse absent-mindedly nodded, she stared at the dagger in her hand and said, "Give it to me first."

After he held it in his hand, he said in a relaxed manner, "Quickly go back. I'll help you think of a way to deal with the rest."

Chu Ying left in extreme trust, not knowing that he was the one who had fawned on her. Hua Qingse knew how cold-blooded Gu Junxiu was. Other than Ruan Xiaonuan, whose identity was unknown, no one else had ever seen the other woman beside him, so it was bound to be a tragedy for Chu Ying to fall in love with him.

Strangely enough, when he found out that Chu Ying didn't hesitate to block her life for another man, he didn't feel dejected at all. He didn't know when it started, but he had already let go of this hopeless relationship.

"Ruan Xiaonuan!" While Ruan Xiaonuan was strolling, she suddenly heard a strange yet somewhat familiar voice. When she turned around and saw the bright yellow figure standing there, she was startled. It was only after staring blankly for a long time that she remembered to salute.

Gu Qingcheng looked at her nonsensical etiquette, and frowned, telling her to get up. He carefully examined her face, and only asked after a long while, "How old are you this year?"

His brainless words made Ruan Xiaonuan doubtfully take a step back. She answered obediently, "Fifteen."

After Gu Qingcheng found out who she was, he was very curious about her appearance. However, after looking, he doubted Gu Junxiu's eyes. Because the person in front of him, apart from being more delicate and pretty, had no other special characteristics.

Ruan Xiaonuan felt that his gaze was a little strange, she was not like the other slaves in the palace. She dared to look straight at Gu Qingcheng. So this made him curious. Just as she wanted to ask, Su Desheng hurried over to his side and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty seeks an audience." Gu Qingcheng could only give up and quickly leave.

When Su Desheng saw Ruan Xiaonuan there, he looked at her in disgust. She paid no attention to his gaze and instead made a face at him before leaving with a laugh.

"flower Mr, His Highness requests." Xiao Qi stood outside Hua Qingse's house and said respectfully.

He heard the sound of footsteps from inside, and before long, Hua Qingse appeared at the door, and said calmly.

Thank you, General Xiao Qi. As the proverb goes, although Xiao Qi was Gu Junxiu's bodyguard, he was a seventh rank official in front of the Prime Minister, a great third rank general.

Xiao Qi was a crude person, so he was extremely respectful to people like Hua Qingse. Seeing his polite appearance, he scratched his head in embarrassment and silently followed him.

After Hua Qingse came in, he asked as if she was chatting at home, "Has flower Mr been doing well recently?"

He lowered his head and replied in a neither humble nor haughty manner, "Everything is fine."

The two of them spoke a lot of useless words, and after a long while, Gu Junxiu asked, "How is Mister considering the previous matter?"

Before Hua Qingse came, she already knew what was going on, so he did not appear to be flustered.

What appeared in his mind was Chu Ying's mournful eyes, he sighed lightly, and then answered: "I am willing to become an official."

When Gu Junxiu heard this reply, his eyes did not reveal any surprise. He seemed to have known for a long time that sooner or later he would agree.

"When do you plan to take office?" He sat there and asked in a normal tone.

Hua Qingse answered almost immediately, "I will take up my position tomorrow."

Gu Junxiu smiled at him in satisfaction. He very much appreciated this simple personality. "This King will help you arrange everything." His tone was no longer calm.

Hua Qingse was endlessly grateful for Gu Junxiu's kindness. He deeply clasped her hands together, and with a complacent smile on her calm face, she assured, "I will definitely let the Xiyue Kingdom's imperial court be at peace, and the people will live and work in peace."

When Hua Qingse agreed to this matter, he had other motives. However, he was the kind of person that was more genuine. Since she had already taken care of this matter, she had to bring it to its limit.

"Do you have a house in Beijing?" Gu Junxiu asked with concern.

Once he entered the imperial palace, he would no longer be an aide of the Zhaoyang Palace and would not be able to stay in the palace. Hua Qingse did not think about this matter. He frowned and shook her head: "I'll go out and take a look today."

As the two of them were discussing about this matter, Ruan Xiaonuan rushed in from outside and loudly said, "Gu Junxiu, I've discovered a very remote corner of Zhaoyang Palace."

She had barged in recklessly, and did not see Hua Qingse, who was standing at the side. Gu Junxiu helplessly looked at her, and said sternly, "You came in without being notified, and left this king's face far behind?"

When she saw him like this, not only was she not afraid, but she was actually laughing out loud, until she couldn't stand straight anymore. You actually care about something like face? "

Just as she finished speaking, he heard a strange laugh. Only now did Ruan Xiaonuan realize that there was someone else in the study. She immediately stopped laughing and said calmly, "I was wrong. You guys continue."

Hua Qingse laughed even louder as she shook his head continuously. Her face was flushed red from their laughter, she lowered her head and complained, "Xiao Qi is too mean, no one inside will even say a word."

Gu Junxiu could not help but tease, "Perhaps you left too quickly, even Xiao Qi cannot catch up to you."

Ruan Xiaonuan shot him a disapproving glance, saw the Hua Qingse who was laughing non-stop and said, "flower Mr, don't blame me. Hua Qingse knew very little about Ruan Xiaonuan, and only today did she realise that she was such an interesting person.

However, when she first came in and called out Gu Junxiu's name, he was curious about her identity. Previously, when Gu Junxiu had used his full power to bring her back to the Imperial Palace, he had felt that she was not a simple woman.

However, he had rarely seen her in the Imperial Palace, so he had neglected this matter. If Chu Ying had not kept reminding him, he probably would not have remembered that there was such a person by Gu Junxiu's side.

In that instant, his thoughts went through hundreds and thousands of twists and turns. When he looked at Ruan Xiaonuan, his face carried a teasing smile, "I have nothing more to say to Your Highness, so I'll take my leave now."

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't even have time to react before he had already walked out. She could only mutter, "I already said I could leave."
