Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Although Ruan Xiaonuan was calm in front of Chu Ying that day, she was still worried in her heart. Because her identity would bring trouble to Gu Junxiu, she would wake up with cold sweat almost every night. Facing Gu Junxiu's worried eyes, she could only say as if nothing had happened, "It's okay, I had a nightmare."

He gently wiped away the sweat on her forehead and hugged her to his chest, saying, "Go to sleep, it's getting late."

Ruan Xiaonuan leaned into his embrace, but kept her eyes open. The dream lingered in her mind. She dreamt that everyone in the palace was shouting about wanting to kill her, while Gu Junxiu stood outside the crowd, observing from the sidelines. It was as if he had never met her.

As long as he thought of this scene, she would be so heartbroken that she couldn't even breathe. Perhaps she didn't even know when his feelings for someone would be this deep. She opened his eyes and thought for a long time, but still couldn't help but ask, "If there comes a day when everyone knows that I'm the king of the Ling Yue Kingdom and wants you to kill me, what will you do then?" Ruan Xiaonuan's tone was filled with unease.

Gu Junxiu lifted her head, allowing her to look him in the eye and jokingly said, "Did the matter with Chu Ying scare you? I never thought that this fearless little fellow would be so timid. "

Ruan Xiaonuan lightly punched him in the chest, and said coquettishly. "I'm serious with you."

Gu Junxiu's wide hands wrapped around her fist, and softly consoled her, "You don't have to worry, even if others find out that I'm still here, you won't suffer any grievances."

Ruan Xiaonuan stared at him for a long while, feeling that the unease in his heart had lessened by a lot. She did her best to get into his embrace and replied with a buzzing voice, "I understand."

In the next few days, the Zhaoyang Palace was still calm and peaceful. Chu Ying did not mention anything about her, causing her to let out a huge sigh of relief.

However, Chu Ying was too busy minding her own business, because the eyes of the people in the palace were still filled with contempt for her. She didn't dare leave Jin Xuan Residence.

"Yu Er, give this letter to Master Hua." Chu Ying handed the letter over to Yu Er. Seeing that she had left, she could only wait for news, but instead walked around the house worriedly. Only after a long time did Yu Er return in a hurry.

she asked anxiously. "What did he say?"

Yu Er answered honestly, "Master told Miss not to worry, he will settle this matter."

Chu Ying did not relax just because of this, and continued to ask, "Did he say what she wanted to do?"

Yu Er shook her head, not daring to look at her gradually changing expression. Chu Ying did not even look at her, and said disdainfully, "Is this how you act in front of other masters? Do you want me to teach you how to do things? "

Yu Er lowered her head lower and lower, she didn't dare to speak at all. But surprisingly, Chu Ying did not continue speaking and turned to leave.

"Miss, where are you going?" Just as Zi Juan was about to enter, he bumped into Ruan Xiaonuan who was walking out and asked softly.

Hearing this, she stopped and said evasively, "Let's go out for a walk."

She knew that Zi Juan had already bought this place away from her. If she were to say that she was going to see that old nanny, he would probably bring her back before long.

Zi Juan did not doubt her words at all, he only warned her in detail, "Don't you bump into that person from Jin Xuan Hall. She has been a little crazy lately, and whenever she sees a palace maid that doesn't like her, she will teach them a lesson.

This was because the Zhaoyang Palace didn't have a mistress, only a few beauties. Other than Chu Ying, the others were all hiding in their own little areas, practically not leaving their homes. It was unknown when it had started, but many people in Zhaoyang Palace were afraid and afraid of Chu Ying, even though she was just an insignificant beauty.

Ruan Xiaonuan was not worried about this, she indifferently nodded.

"Got it." However, she had heard of Chu Ying's domineering actions in the palace and could not bear to see her actions. However, she did not interfere any further.

After getting rid of Zi Juan's nagging, she rushed straight to her destination, thinking that she must get some other things from him today.

At this time, Gu Junxiu was in the hall, looking at them with a calm and cold gaze. He didn't know that she had touched his bottom line again. Master Officer took out the words that Hua Qingse had said in the throne room a long time ago, he pointed at Sang Huai and said, "Your Majesty, this subject believes that I should pay more attention to the matters of the Dongqing Kingdom. Tomorrow is the date of the tribute, they will definitely not come." When he said this, he more or less blamed Hua Qingse for his suggestion at that time, because a single sentence from him had delayed the important matter of the country.

Gu Qingcheng also could not make a decision, so he could only cast his gaze at Gu Junxiu. He opened his mouth and spoke, "In a few days, it will be His Majesty's birthday. According to the news this subject received, the people of Dongqing Kingdom intend to present their tribute on the day of His Majesty's birthday."

With his words, Gu Qingcheng visibly heaved a sigh of relief. Not long after, his clear and bright voice resounded through the throne room.

"Since Prince Yu has received the news, there is no need to discuss further." The official could only retreat in anger. He did not dare to be dissatisfied with Gu Junxiu, and could only look towards Hua Qingse who stood there with a dull face. However, he only responded with a gentle smile.

When it was about time for the assembly, the flower vase kept up with Gu Junxiu's footsteps and said softly, "Your Highness, I has a request."

Many people were watching for a good show to watch Gu Junxiu get angry, but his way of doing things exceeded everyone's expectations. Not only did he not get angry, he even nodded.

After today, there was one more thing about Hua Qingse that he knew, it was just that only he knew if it was true or not.

"Are you doing this for Chu Ying?" When she arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, Gu Junxiu made an accurate guess. Hua Qingse nodded. He had previously received a letter from Chu Ying and knew what she was facing in the palace.

"What are you going to do?"

Gu Junxiu asked majestically. Although it was normal for officials to send beauties to each other, but there had never been a boss to give to a small official. If this matter was resolved, it would be rather troublesome.

"If the I wants to recognize Chu Ying as her adopted sister and let everyone know that she is her younger sister, no one will misunderstand our relationship and no one will bring His Highness unnecessary trouble."

Gu Junxiu looked at him in shock, because he had feelings for Chu Ying before. However, as a prince, he could not ask about these matters. Then he asked, "How do you want This King to help you?"
