Gong Yu glanced at her and said, "It's not like you haven't slept with me before when we were in the North Country."

Gong Yu turned over and held Su Rou in his arms, preventing her from getting up. "You haven't had a good rest along the way. Go to sleep for a while. I'll take you for a walk later. You haven't seen the scenery of the South yet."

Su Rou said, "By the way, the man who came out to greet us today looked like a eunuch, but at the same time, he didn't quite look like one. Why are the palace servants from your Southern Kingdom so strange?"

Gong Yu closed his eyes tightly and said, "He is not a eunuch. He is the secret military force that General Su mentioned, belonging to the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom. In the Southern Kingdom, they are called the Dragon Scale Guards."

Not a eunuch?

Su Rou was pinned to the bed by his arm, unable to move. She was originally sleepy, but now... she suddenly lost all desire to sleep.

Gradually, she heard the sound of Gong Yu's even breathing.

Falling asleep so quickly?

Su Rou raised her head and looked at Gong Yu.

Looking at him from such a close distance, I feel that his facial features are indeed much more delicate...

Su Rou snuggled in his arms and gradually fell asleep.

"Knock knock" Someone knocked on Su Rou's door at night.

She opened her eyes and carefully took Gong Yu's arm off her body.

She got up and opened the door, and the people outside were their soldiers.

"Miss, something has happened. Please come with me to take a look."

Su Rou frowned and put on her mask. "Send someone over to protect Prince Yu's safety."

It's impossible to have a good sleep in the middle of the night.

The southern country was chilly at night. Su Rou wrapped herself in an outer coat and followed the soldiers to the front of the palace.

Su Rou asked, "What's going on?"

Four Northern soldiers were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied. Several palace maids from the Southern Palace were watching them, fearing that they would run away, so they surrounded them.

Among them were a few people dressed elegantly, and judging from their appearance, they should be princes living in the harem.

"Miss, you came at the right time. Your people stayed up all night and stole things from our emperor's bedroom. Look, they were caught red-handed." The speaker was the Dragon Scale Guard who greeted them today.

This eunuch looks masculine, but he actually has a feminine side to him, which is why Su Rou finds it strange.

The soldier kneeling on the ground raised his head and looked at Su Rou. The grievance in his eyes said it all.

"Miss, don't listen to their slander. We wanted to investigate the Southern Kingdom Palace to prevent anyone from harming you at night. Who knew they would also stay up late at night and even confuse right and wrong and say we stole something!"

Su Rou turned her head and asked, "Since they said our people stole something, did you find anything on them?"

"No, maybe they hid it somewhere in advance."

Su Rou: “…”

Can you catch someone and accuse them of stealing now?

Su Rou was speechless!

She said, "Since there's no evidence, then this... sir is just slandering others. Before you slander someone, at least prepare the evidence. Look, you've revealed so many people in the middle of the night."

She was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to address the man in front of her. Calling him father-in-law was inappropriate, and calling him sir was a bit strange.

But this is the most polite way to address someone.

A child hiding behind a young man looked at Su Rou with sharp eyes, "We in the Southern Country are not afraid of slandering others..."

Su Rou turned her gaze and looked at the child hiding behind.

The Dragon Scale Guard stepped forward and said, "This is our Eighth and Eleventh Prince. I'm sorry, young lady, but what our Eleventh Prince said is not without reason."

Listen to what they are saying. Isn't this just praising their own people? If the southerners don't want to slander others, then they are saying that these northerners are stealing their things?

Su Rou yawned and said, "Someone come and untie the ropes for them."

The Dragon Scale Guard said, "Miss, you have to give us an explanation. If you just let him go like this rashly, the Emperor will probably question the purpose of your trip tomorrow."

Su Rou slid a dagger from her sleeve and cut the rope on the soldier in two strokes.

"Pour out all your money bags and show them that the North Country is really in need of their little money."

The soldiers did as Su Rou said and took out their purses. Two or three small yellow croakers fell out of each person's purse.

Although Su Rou didn't want to admit it, it was a fact that the Northern Kingdom was strong and had no shortage of money.

With her father in charge of the North, few people are willing to come forward and join the army.

Who doesn’t want to spend the rest of their days peacefully at home?

But a country cannot be without military force, so the emperor of the Northern Kingdom came up with a way to bribe the men in the society to join the army.

Su Rou's cold eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the Southern Kingdom, "Did you see it?"

"Look... I saw it. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Don't take it to heart, young lady."

Su Rou curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that petty. I'll talk to the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom about your hospitality tomorrow!"

Su Rou knew that they dared to use the Southern Emperor's bedroom as a bargaining chip to threaten her, and this was tacitly approved by the Southern Emperor.

Su Rou turned around and caught a glimpse of a figure in the distance, but she didn't say anything.

Su Rou suddenly raised her voice, "Go back to sleep, don't hang around in someone else's palace. If the Southerners really fight me, they may not be my match."

The soldiers nodded, "Yes."

The Southern Kingdom Emperor, who was standing in the distance, sneered at Su Rou's figure and said, "What a boast, General Gong."

Gong Yuanzhi knelt beside him and said, "Your Majesty, our spies report that Su Chi is still at the northern border dealing with our remaining troubles. He dared to let this little girl return with Yu'er, which means he is absolutely sure that we will have no chance of success even if we take action. For now, I think it is better to wait and see."

The Southern Emperor raised his hands and placed them on the fence. "I'll find an opportunity tomorrow to test her. If she's dead, I'll take care of her body and tell the Northern Emperor that she strayed into my back mountain and was eaten by wolves. The Northern Emperor wouldn't be so petty about the death of a female follower, right? Huh? Hahaha."

Gong Yuanzhi bowed with both hands, "Your Majesty, if we kill the people from the Northern Kingdom at this time, the Northern Kingdom's emperor will definitely feel that the Southern Kingdom is challenging his position..."

The Southern Emperor suddenly turned around and kicked Gong Yuanzhi. "My great general, you were scared like this when Su Wan crippled one of your legs on the battlefield! What is there for the Northern Kingdom to be afraid of? If I want you dead, you must die!"
