When Ruan Xiaonuan heard this, she could not help but chuckle softly. Realizing that the situation was not right, she quickly stopped smiling. Hearing the empress dowager sneer, "You've never cared about this sort of thing before."

Hearing that she had mercilessly exposed him, Ruan Xiaonuan's smile widened. Gu Junxiu lightly glanced at her. He said to the empress dowager, "mother, let this matter pass."

Her Majesty did not understand. Even an ordinary man could not bear such a thing, much less a prince like him.

However, she wasn't willing to question her son in front of others for fear of hurting his self-esteem. She sighed deeply and said, "Forget it, I won't interfere in this matter."

After he finished speaking, she brought the group of people and left Jin Xuan's residence. After she left, Ruan Xiaonuan immediately jumped to Gu Junxiu's side and asked, "What exactly happened?" She was still in the clouds.

It was just that she had asked the wrong person, because Gu Junxiu did not know what had happened. He had felt that the gazes of the people around him were rather strange from the time he had gone to court. However, he couldn't openly ask them, so he had always kept his doubts in his heart.

"Why are you here?" Only then did Gu Junxiu remember that there was something wrong with this place. She and Chu Ying had always been hostile towards each other, so he would never wander over to Jin Xuan City.

Ruan Xiaonuan could only repeat the entire matter of the empress dowager going to Zhaoyang Palace from beginning to end. After she finished speaking, she had forgotten to ask him about Chu Ying.

However, when Chu Ying woke up, apart from the pain coming from her body, there was also the hatred and humiliation she felt in her heart. She could only lie on the bed and instruct, "Yu Er, go and check what's the matter, I can't possibly suffer like this without knowing why."

Yu Er already knew that she was a vengeful person, and did not dare delay in the slightest, quickly leaving the room.

Chu Ying remembered that Ruan Xiaonuan had also participated in what happened just now, and it was she who brought the empress dowager here. It seemed that this matter had something to do with her, which she guessed to be true.

"There's actually someone who would use Chu Ying and the flower Mr to talk about matters. He probably doesn't know about the relationship between him and His Highness."

Ruan Xiaonuan said in shock after hearing what Zi Juan had said. She said with certainty, "Zi Juan, I'm sure that if Your Highness finds out about this, he wouldn't mind at all." Zi Juan didn't believe her words. Which man would endure such a thing, even if he didn't like that woman?

Ruan Xiaonuan saw that her smile was very mysterious, and felt that there was nothing she could do about her stubborn look. "I am going to report this to His Highness, do you want to see how he will react?"

Zi Juan was a little timid, but she couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart. The moment the door opened, Gu Junxiu stood there facing the light, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "What do you want to report to this king?"

Ruan Xiaonuan's neck shrank. If he knew that was playing with him, who knows how she would torture him. She quickly gave Zi Juan a meaningful look, but Gu Junxiu took note of all these little movements.

"You're quite brave, to actually dare to bet on my family." When Ruan Xiaonuan heard that his tone did not sound angry, her heart relaxed a lot. She said, feeling a little wronged, "The palace is too boring, I have to find some fun for myself."

Indeed, when Gu Junxiu heard her wronged tone, all the anger in his heart disappeared. He gently held her in his arms and said gently, "When the birthday is over, I will go ask to move to the prince's mansion outside the palace."

Ruan Xiaonuan, who was in his arms, smiled. She knew that she would win the bet with Zi Juan this time.

Not only did she not change her decision, she said resentfully, "It must be that bitch Ruan Xiaonuan that spread the news about this matter, wanting to ruin my reputation."

Yu Er said softly, "But everyone outside the palace already knows, Little Eunuch Ruan shouldn't have that ability."

Chu Ying's eyes widened and he roared, "What do you know? "I'm too embarrassed to stay by your side, but her plan failed, haha …"

Her laughter was extremely ear-piercing, Yu Er could not help but take a few steps back, and did not dare to speak. This was because she had heard of the fate of the previous maid. She did not want to end up like this.

Most of the citizens in the capital were curious about the lives of the nobles. The matter of Hua Qingse and Chu Ying did not last long, because they were quickly attracted by the matters of the other officials.

However, the people of the palace did not forget about this matter. They looked at Chu Ying with different eyes, and practically all of them were discussing about her and Hua Qingse in low voices.

"What did they say?" Chu Ying asked calmly. However, Yu Er was scared senseless. She hesitated and hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she didn't dare to speak the truth.

"Speak, didn't you hear what I said?" Chu Ying bellowed.

Yu Er closed her eyes, and spoke quickly: "They said that Miss overestimated herself, and that she had the water attribute."

After saying that, he immediately knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness, "Miss, they don't know the relationship between you and flower Mr, they are just randomly speculating, don't take it to heart."

Chu Ying's expression became even uglier, and directly threw the half drunk soup onto the ground, then coldly asked: "Who are they?"

Yu Er heard it from other people, so she could only say helplessly, "This servant doesn't know."

"Go investigate." Chu Ying wanted to get up from bed, but the pain from her body made her fall back onto the bed.

Yu Er did not dare look at her expression, and immediately lowered her head.

"Your Highness, the Assistant Minister of Revenue requests an audience." Gu Junxiu was not surprised, he had already known that Hua Qingse would definitely come to see him.

"There aren't that many rules here. What happened before? What happens now?" Gu Junxiu said indifferently.

Hua Qingse still maintained her respectful posture, and said with a guilty look on her face, "Your Highness, I was rash for what happened this time."

"You get up first." He saw him on his knees and felt that this was not suitable for the person who had always been indifferent to him.

"This matter has nothing to do with Junior Sister, I hope that Your Highness does not blame him."

Hua Qingse had always wanted to clarify this matter with Gu Junxiu, but she just could not find the right words to say.

He knew what happened to Chu Ying that day and was worried that the empress dowager would take her life. However, there was nothing he could do. He could only worry about it outside the palace.

He knew that he couldn't ask the empress dowager for help, and could only place his hopes on Gu Junxiu.

"Do you remember what you promised me when you left the Imperial Palace?"
