After asking, he looked at Chen Hu, his tone changed quickly, from excitement to doubt, and asked: "That day you said you caught three suspicious girls, could it be her?"

Chen Hu had already realized that the identity of this girl who had fled was not simple. He was afraid of angering General Xiao, so he did not dare to say too much. He nodded and said, "Yes, this girl and the other two girls were the ones who caused trouble at the city gate."

Nian Susu was dissatisfied. When did she cause trouble? That's called asking for help!

General Xiao looked at Nian Susu in surprise. He looked her up and down and was even more shocked. "Lingling, tell Uncle Xiao what's going on. Why did you come all the way here from Shengjing?"

As he spoke, he led Nian Susu to the tea room behind the screen. Chen Yong and Chen Hu followed, as did the left and right bodyguards.

Although the two did not communicate, they had the same idea in their minds: Who is this woman?

Nian Susu sighed and knelt down, "Uncle Xiao, it's a long story. I'm here for your Highness."

General Xiao's face darkened, thinking of the last letter the emperor wrote to him, in which he was asked to wait until Qin Junyu arrived outside Liangcheng. Unexpectedly, he did not wait for the news, but waited for the person.

General Xiao: "Your Highness has arrived?"

Nian Susu: "Yes, it has been four or five days. His Highness wanted to communicate with you, but was worried that the Northern Wei would become suspicious, so I volunteered to pass on the message for him."

Chen Hu breathed a sigh of relief: It turns out that she is just a messenger, and a man of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. No wonder Xiao Da, brother treats her so well.

Chen Yong wondered: Why would His Royal Highness bring a woman here? This is not a fun place. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

"Thank you for your hard work." General Xiao said earnestly, "Don't take such risks next time. Fortunately, Chen Hu was careful and didn't hurt you. Otherwise, I don't know how to explain to A Yu when I return to Sijing!"

He slapped his thigh fiercely, and thought of the number one person again, and couldn't help but smack his lips: "And your father, he only has you as his beloved daughter, if he knew you put yourself in danger, he would be so angry that he would faint."

Nian Susu was not afraid of Nian Chengyun, but she felt a headache when she thought about Yang Yuerong's nagging. She smiled guiltily, "Uncle Xiao, please don't tell my parents. I'm afraid they will worry."

General Xiao waved his hand, having seen through her little tricks long ago, "Don't worry, even if I don't tell you, how could A Yu miss such a good opportunity to win merit for you?"

"I will definitely praise you in front of the emperor and let him know how wise and brave his daughter-in-law is!" General Xiao laughed.

Nian Susu lowered his head embarrassedly. It was possible that Qin Junyu would really do such a thing.

Chen Hu and Chen Yong were completely dumbfounded. They could no longer figure out the relationship between these people. Now, hearing the word "daughter-in-law" was enough to enlighten them.

Chen Yong didn't know what happened that day, but the culprit Chen Hu broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about how he almost injured the Crown Princess with his sword two days ago, and how he locked her up in a dark, damp, shabby house for two days without giving her any food.

Don't even mention how angry His Royal Highness would be if he knew about this. He can't even get past Brother Xiao...

It goes without saying that Nian Chengyun and General Xiao have a deep friendship. Nian Susu is Nian Chengyun's daughter and a close friend of Xiao Yunzheng. The relationship between the two families is enough to make Chen Hu ashamed.

After being distracted for a while, Nian Susu had already turned the topic to other things.

"Your Highness's minimum requirement is three months. As long as you can hold back the Northern Wei, he will take Liangcheng."

"But... Young Master Xiao is in Qin Zehai's hands now. If he uses Young Master Xiao as a hostage, it will be difficult to deal with."

What if Qin Zehai gets angry and he goes all out? It doesn't matter if he dies, but it's not worth it for Xiao Jianting to be destroyed in his hands.

When Xiao Jianting was mentioned, not only did General Xiao's face change, but even Chen Hu and Chen Yong lowered their heads and looked evasive. They felt guilty for not being able to save Xiao Jianting.

General Xiao sighed, looked at the scenery outside the window, and took a long-term view. "Take one step at a time. If that day really comes, Jian Ting doesn't want him to become my weak spot."

Nian Susu did not comment. By then, Xiao Jianting would definitely find a way to end his life and would never let Qin Zehai succeed.

Chen Yong's eyes were red. This was the second time General Xiao said he would give up on Xiao Jianting. Although it was for the sake of the overall situation, he felt sorry for Xiao Jianting and cherished his talent.

Chen Hu lowered his head and said nothing.

Nian Susu wanted to say something, but General Xiao changed the subject: "Has the emperor written a letter to A Yu?"

These words are full of temptation.

Nian Susu was stunned for a moment, then realized that General Xiao didn't know that the emperor had suffered a stroke and was in a coma, and it was the emperor who had been in contact with him. So, counting the days, he hadn't received any new instructions for about ten days, so he was inevitably anxious.

Fortunately, she told him the truth and asked him to be mentally prepared. A stroke was no small matter. Now, only Nian Chengyun was in charge of Shengjing. The Queen Qin Zehai's followers kept making small moves. It was unknown how long they could hold on.

General Xiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I didn't know that the emperor was so seriously ill..."

Nian Susu explained, “Your Highness only received the urgent report from the capital when he was about to reach Liangcheng.”

As a son, Qin Junyu cannot be with his father who is seriously ill in bed, and he also shoulders the fate of the entire Liuli. He must be under a lot of pressure now.

General Xiao looked at Nian Susu meaningfully, and thought silently in his heart: If Nian Susu could stay with him, he would feel better.

She didn't know what General Xiao's look meant, so she tilted her head. He quickly looked away and ended the conversation.

"Chen Hu, send Miss Nian off, Chen Yong stays."

-

When they came, Nian Susu followed behind Chen Hu, and she had to struggle so hard to catch up with him. When they left, Chen Hu lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and followed behind her in silence, moving at a snail's pace.

Nian Susu looked back every few steps as he observed Chen Hu. He felt that he had changed a lot. Was it because he had guessed his identity?

General Xiao just said so much, and Qin Fengtian understood it all, not to mention Chen Hu and Chen Yong.

Chen Hu noticed that Nian Susu was observing him, and he was also secretly looking at Nian Susu with his eyelids raised and lowered.

Nian Susu couldn't help it, she stopped and turned around suddenly. Chen Hu didn't react in time and almost bumped into her. He stepped back a few steps, looking terrified, "Ma... Madam... Princess, please forgive me."

Hearing this name coming out of Chen Hu's mouth, Nian Susu inexplicably found it very funny and couldn't help laughing.

Chen Hu blushed, feeling embarrassed and awkward, as he seemed to be a flatterer who flattered the powerful and bullied the weak. But before Nian Susu's identity was revealed, he had always regarded her as a spy, so it was reasonable for him to embarrass her.
