Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Ruan Xiaonuan had seen how the Go boards outside were made of extremely hard rocks. It would take a lot of people to smash it, it was a thankless task. She asked in puzzlement, "Why did you smash it?"

old nanny did not answer her, but asked her, "I haven't been able to leave this palace for a long time. Tell me about what happened in the palace?"

Ruan Xiaonuan could only suppress the suspicions in her heart and told her about the matters at the palace.

old nanny listened very attentively, and revealed a look of nostalgia at times. Seeing her like this, Ruan Xiaonuan could not help but ask, "You actually want to know what's going on outside, why don't you go out for a walk?"

A wry smile appeared on her face, and he pointed at her face that didn't look the same at all. "I'm afraid that if I go out, it'll scare the others." Ruan Xiaonuan felt a little awkward, because this was the first time she saw this face. She was also quite frightened, so she couldn't retort.

old nanny did not care about what she was thinking, and she asked in an astonishing tone, "How is Prince Yu?"

She knew that Ruan Xiaonuan worked in the Zhaoyang Palace and would at least know a little about the situation. Ruan Xiaonuan asked in surprise, "You know about the Prince Yu?" She looked like she had stayed in this desolate palace for a long time, so how did she know about Gu Junxiu?

Ruan Xiaonuan suddenly remembered that when she talked about old nanny with him the other day, his expression was also different.

She couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Old granny, what did you do in the palace?" Her answer surprised her, because she did not seem like an ordinary palace maid.

When he went back, his heart was filled with doubts. But when she saw Gu Junxiu, she coldly looked at him, and directly walked in front of him. He helplessly said, "You have your favorite meal, eating dinner with me."

As a mere eunuch, she could only eat light, coarse tea and rice. Only when she ate with Gu Junxiu would she be able to eat delicious food.

But she remembered that day when they had parted on bad terms, and she had resisted the hunger in her heart, as if she had not heard what he had just said. Gu Junxiu was even more helpless now. He had originally planned to take advantage of the time they were eating to properly explain what had happened that day, so as to calm her down.

In the past few days, Ruan Xiaonuan practically would go to that remote palace every day and drink tea with that old nanny, but she still did not know what secrets were hidden on her body. She walked back to her room with a disappointed expression, but there was a shadow under her feet. When she raised her head, she saw Gu Junxiu's dark face!

She didn't want to mess with him right now. She wanted to go around him. However, Gu Junxiu forcefully pulled her, and directly pulled her into the main hall. You asked angrily, "You went to see that old nanny again? Have you taken This King's words seriously? "

She forcefully pulled away from his hand and said with a tearful voice, "You're hurting me!"

Gu Junxiu did not let go of her hand because of this, and said with a cold tone between his brows, "Did you really think that you could act so recklessly just because this duke dotes on you?"

He was so angry because he was afraid that Ruan Xiaonuan would find out the truth one day and look down on him. His background was not clean, and if she minded leaving him, he would be helpless.

Ruan Xiaonuan's hand was still being held by him, causing waves of pain. She shouted loudly, "Gu Junxiu, are you crazy? It's because you want to break my hand that you're willing to let go, right? " Facing her cold stare, Ruan Xiaonuan did not show any signs of weakness.

Gu Junxiu realized that her hands were already red and had finally let go of hers. However, his tone was not gentle at all as he said, "You can't go to that place in the future. If This King finds out, you'll be locked in your room again."

After he finished speaking, he rushed out of the door. Ruan Xiaonuan shouted angrily, "Why are you locking me up?"

But Gu Junxiu had already left, so he couldn't hear the angry roar from behind him.

The next day, Ruan Xiaonuan really did not go to find the old nanny, and it was not because he was afraid of Gu Junxiu. However, this way, she would become a person with nothing to do.

"His Highness wants you to send this to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

The person beside Gu Junxiu passed something similar to a imperial report to her. Ruan Xiaonuan lazily stretched out her hand to receive it, and nodded. "I understand."

That Young Eunuch knew that she was a person whom Gu Junxiu was extremely fond of, so she didn't dare to say anything in response to her attitude. After he left, Ruan Xiaonuan laughed out loud and said to Zi Juan who had just entered the room, "Look at that man just now, it's as if he thought I would eat him or even raise her head."

When Zi Juan saw her crooked smile, she said rather helplessly, "Miss, don't forget what His Highness has told you. You should hurry up and go so that you won't miss a thing."

Only then did Ruan Xiaonuan get up from the ground. What was strange was why Gu Junxiu told her to do this. Although she was nominally his personal eunuch, he had never let her do those things. Could it be that due to the matter with the old nanny, he was going to order him around?

Because of something in her mind, she arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation very quickly. Seeing Su Desheng standing guard outside the door from afar, she did her best to make herself appear in front of him in a calm and composed manner, and said in a neither humble nor haughty manner, "Eunuch Su, His Highness ordered his servant to pass something to His Majesty."

Su Desheng hated her to the bones in his heart, how could he let her pass so easily? He flicked his whisk to and fro, and said without even raising his eyes, "Bring me over to have a look."

Although Ruan Xiaonuan did not know what was written inside, she understood that when an official handed in a imperial report, there was no reason for a eunuch to read it. She spoke kindly, "Eunuch, I'm afraid this isn't good."

Su Desheng glanced at her, "This humble one did not receive your highness's order, if you brought some murder weapon with you, and try to kill it, then this humble one will become a sinner for all eternity."

How dare this eunuch say so!

Ruan Xiaonuan silently cursed in her heart. If Gu Qingcheng suspected that she had any ulterior motives, then her little life would be over. Her face remained calm as she said, "Eunuch Su's words are too serious. This servant doesn't have this kind of evil intentions, and I don't have that kind of courage."

When Su Desheng saw her condescending look, his eyes revealed a look of complacency. However, he still spoke with righteousness, "If you can enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation with just your words, then do you think that the Hall of Mental Cultivation is a place that you can come to just because you want to?"
