Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

The wound on Ruan Xiaonuan's leg continued for many days before it started to scab. Gu Junxiu would come to his room almost every day to take a look, but he just stood there quietly and did not speak, the moment she wanted to get off the bed, he would stop her.

The anger in Ruan Xiaonuan's heart had also dissipated, but she couldn't find a chance to speak. Everyday, she would only see him silently walking around in front of her. Now that she could get off the bed, when Gu Junxiu came in and saw her standing on the ground, he subconsciously asked, "Why did you get down? I'll carry you up. "

He must have lost his temper, too, to even claim to have changed. Ruan Xiaonuan walked two steps for him to see, then said casually, "My feet are fine now, I can walk now."

She was not such a delicate person to begin with. If not for the fact that he and Zi Juan had always been watching her, she would have left her bed and walked around.

Gu Junxiu felt a little awkward when he saw her unperturbed appearance. But he didn't show it. As if trying to hide his embarrassment, he said, "That's good enough."

After he finished speaking, he intended to leave. Ruan Xiaonuan stopped him in time, and said unnaturally, "We should have a good talk."

This was exactly what Gu Junxiu was thinking, but he had always been a person who followed orders, so he was not good at saying words of surrender. When she spoke first, he answered almost immediately, "Yes."

With that first sentence, Ruan Xiaonuan felt much more at ease. She first opened her mouth to explain, "That day, I was only talking about your matters with His Majesty." She wasn't sure how much he'd heard that day, so she waited for him to speak.

Hearing her words, he remembered that he was like a little kid, hiding at the entrance of Hall of Mental Cultivation, listening to the two inside, and laughed from time to time. He subconsciously clenched his fists, wanting to go in and bring Ruan Xiaonuan out, but his sense of reason kept him listening.

When he knew that he was such a person in her heart, it was as if his entire being was covered by disappointment. He wanted to ask if she was telling the truth. But in the end, he was defeated by his pride, so he didn't say these words out loud.

Ruan Xiaonuan kept looking at him, hoping that he would explain everything that had happened that day clearly. However, even after waiting for a long time, she still did not hear his voice. She couldn't help but ask, "Were your words the other day from the bottom of your heart?"

Gu Junxiu was rarely speechless for a long time, because he did not know what she meant by that. However, during the time that he was silent, Ruan Xiaonuan misunderstood him. She lowered her head and said, "I understand."

His tone was filled with endless sorrow. He keenly felt her strangeness and uncertainly said, "Ruan Ruan, what I said the other day was just angry words. You don't need to take it to heart."

It was the first time Ruan Xiaonuan had seen him act so lowly. She suddenly laughed, her smile clear and bright, and said with a relaxed tone: "I understand, you don't need to explain anymore."

The corner of Gu Junxiu's mouth curled up. The gloomy feeling from the past few days had finally relaxed.

Ever since Hua Qingse moved out of the palace, there was not a single person in the palace who could help her. Yu Er looked at Hua Qingse who was dressed in her official's uniform, and suddenly stood in front of him and said: "Master, the lady is looking for you."

Feeling the gazes from the surrounding people, he felt rather uncomfortable. He quickly followed Yu Er to a relatively hidden corner. Seeing Chu Ying who was sitting there, he spoke in a neither light nor heavy tone, "Since I'm no longer in the palace, you can ask the pigeon to send me a message if there's anything else. There's no need for us to meet.

Chu Ying's eyes gleamed with tears as he looked at Hua Qingse, "I was bullied even more in the palace, and now even you, Senior Brother, are looking down on me."

After all, they were junior brothers and sister who had grown up together. Even if he no longer had any feelings for her, their relationship still remained. Seeing her like this, he didn't have the heart to say anything else. His tone became much gentler as he asked, "What business do you have with me?"

Chu Ying could not wait and asked: "What happened to Ruan Xiaonuan?" Her eyes were still filled with tears, but they were no longer as pitiful as before.

When Hua Qingse heard this name, she frowned and cautiously warned, "Stay away from her in the future and don't provoke her. The consequences are not something that you and I can bear."

That person was the king of a nation, she might not care about all this right now, but if Chu Ying touched her bottom line, the consequences would be unbearable for her.

She misunderstood Hua Qingse's meaning and thought that he was protecting the woman she liked. She said sarcastically, "Have you long since known that she was a woman and was also bewitched by her? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

However, when she said that, she suddenly thought of something, "Why don't you get close to Ruan Xiaonuan, and make her give up on him? That way, I can have a chance, and you can also bring a beauty back."

Hua Qingse's plain and ordinary brows furrowed even deeper. Seeing her so pleased with himself, he immediately said, "That's impossible. When did I say that I like her?"

She didn't care what he was thinking at the moment, but said in a spoiled manner, "Senior Brother, I know you're just embarrassed. For the sake of our happiness, you must suffer a bit, even though she is not a beauty. "

Hua Qingse wanted to say something, but she beat him to it, "But you are outside the palace now, so the chances of seeing her is slim. But it doesn't matter, I can give the carrier pigeon to her."

Hua Qingse saw that she was still living in her fantasies, and didn't even bother to greet him, and directly left the place. However, the matter of them meeting each other had entered the eyes of the people who wanted to do so.

Deep in the night, a sealed letter was handed to the Official. He quickly took a look at the contents, and ridiculed, "Hua Qingse, I didn't think that you would have such guts, to even dare to lay your hands on a woman from Prince Yu."

Her excellency had obtained her current position through her own hard work. However, Hua Qingse had not taken part in the Imperial examinations, nor did she have any outstanding talent. How could she possibly be able to sit as the Assistant Minister of the Household Department, and furthermore, constantly challenge him to a fight, forcing him out of the spot in front of the Emperor?

He had hated him for a long time, but he could not find his fault. The spies in the palace had sent him a letter like coal in a snowstorm.

Without delay, he began to prepare for this matter. On the second day of the assembly, many people began to size up Hua Qingse. Especially when Gu Junxiu appeared, they were all waiting to see a good show.

He took a look at the crowd and finally went to his superior to ask him what was going on. He didn't expect to be scolded when he arrived in front of the Board of Revenue's President Book, "You are too daring."
