The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

Su Rou returned to the palace and found that Gong Yu had woken up.

"Where did you go just now?"

Su Rou said, "Something went wrong. The people in your palace wrongly accused us of stealing. Isn't that infuriating? But you were sleeping so soundly just now that you didn't even notice I left."

Gong Yu seemed to have his secrets touched upon, and his expression seemed to be considering this issue.

Su Rou said, "It's a bit chilly outside. The south gets colder earlier than the north this season. Didn't you say you would take me out for a walk during the day? Are you still going?"

Su Rou leaned against the bed, looking as if she was ready to do whatever the emperor said.

Gong Yu got off the bed and said, "I'm going to take you to a place I've wanted to take you to a long time ago."

Gong Yu changed his clothes and left the bedroom with Su Rou. Apart from a few guards, no one else could be seen outside.

The moon is bright and clear.

Su Rou was held hand by Gong Yu and climbed to the highest point of the imperial palace, from which one could see the entire view.

Su Rou was shocked by the scene before her. "This place is beautiful. It seems like I can touch the sky with my hands."

Gong Yu said, "I know you will like it."

A cool breeze blew past Su Rou's side.

Su Rou said, "This place is beautiful, but you can't stand here for too long at night. It will blow tomorrow."

Gong Yu said, "I'm going out tomorrow morning."

Su Rou said, "It's time to go and pay respect to my brother, right? Go ahead, but according to the rules, I have to send someone to follow you. If you feel it's inappropriate, just ask them to wait outside. Is that okay with you?"

Gong Yu looked at her with a moved expression.

Su Rou reached out her hand and smoothed the hair on Gong Yu's forehead. Just by doing this, she moved Gong Yu?

Su Rou said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm doing this because of your promise to help me in the future."

The light in Gong Yu's eyes dimmed, and he grabbed Su Rou's hand, "I know."

The two of them went back and took a short rest. Su Rou lay on the bed but couldn't sleep well.

She vaguely felt as if there were a pair of eyes watching her all night long...

Su Rou was awakened by the crowing of a rooster outside the window. When she opened her eyes, Gong Yu was no longer by her side.

She sat up and yawned. Has Gong Yu left?

Su Rou lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She put on her mask and asked the palace maid to bring her a basin of hot water for washing.

The door of the room was closed. Su Rou bent down and wiped her face. "Did Prince Yu say anything when he left?"

The soldier waited in the corner, "His Royal Highness Prince Yu didn't say anything. If he really wanted to say something, when he left, he just told the palace maids to take good care of you when you woke up."

Su Rou put down the towel she was using to wipe her face. "Did you send someone to follow him? Do you know which direction they went today?"

The soldier said, "They did, but they left the outskirts of the city today and sent people to investigate. There is no imperial tomb built in the suburbs, but there is a huge cemetery. Miss, I suspect that the person Prince Yu is going to worship is not the eldest prince."

Su Rou said, "Back then, my father led his troops to attack the Southern Kingdom. Many people died in that war. How could the Southern Kingdom have the extra energy to build the imperial mausoleum after that? Maybe they buried their own prince there."

Su Rou certainly knew that Gong Yu was not going to worship a prince, but it didn't matter. Gong Yu just did what he wanted to do, and she would find a way to help him shut these people up.

"Knock knock" someone knocked on the door.

A strange voice came from outside the door, "Miss Dai, General Gong's wife is outside and wants to see you."

Su Rou was stunned, huh?

Why did Gong Yu's mother come to see him...

From time to time, a muffled cough could be heard from outside the door. It seemed that someone was standing outside the door.

Su Rou put on her mask and opened the door. "Madam, what do you want to see me for?"

Gong Yu's mother raised her eyes and found that there were still soldiers in the room, so she said, "I...I came at the wrong time. Is the young lady discussing something with her subordinates?"

Su Rou glanced at the soldier and said, "That's fine. We've already discussed it."

The soldier bowed respectfully and walked towards the door tactfully.

The little palace maid helped Gong Yu's mother sit down on the chair, "Miss Dai, Madam Gong actually wanted to come over and talk to you."

Su Rou noticed that the palace maid's hand was on Gong Yu's mother's shoulder. She turned her eyes away, thinking that she was probably being threatened and Gong Yu's mother was called in to trick her into talking.

She was wearing a mask yesterday and was indeed staring at Gong Yu's mother, but she shouldn't have been discovered.

Su Rou also pulled out a stool and sat down beside him. "There's no tea in Prince Yu's bedroom. How can you, a little palace maid, be so tactless? Go make some tea."

The maid was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her originally smug mouth drooped instantly, "You want me to make tea?"

Su Rou put one hand on her arm and asked, "What else?"

The maid let go, and Gong Yu's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you wait!"

Watching the palace maid leave, Su Rou couldn't help but frown, "Why are all the palace maids in the Southern Kingdom so arrogant and domineering? Even if they are all xenophobic, they shouldn't behave like this."

Anyway, what happened yesterday made her realize a problem: people in the south are very hostile to people in the north.

Gong Yu's mother held her handkerchief, coughed softly twice, and took her hand.

"Miss, what is your relationship with Prince Yu?"

Although Gong Yu's mother looked like she was often soaked in medicine jars, her face was very haggard and without a trace of blood.

But she was very familiar with the expression on her face at that moment. Her mother had also shown the same expression before.

I guess I must have misunderstood the relationship between her and Gong Yu...

Su Rou said, "I have nothing to do with Prince Yu, Madam, please don't misunderstand."

Su Rou used a little strength to try to pull her hand back, but found that Gong Yu's mother was holding it tightly.

Gong Yu's mother took off a bracelet from her hand and put it on her wrist.

Su Rou's hands are small, so it fits easily.

"Prince Yu is a good boy... cough cough, the fact that you're willing to live with him means that the relationship between you two must be special. If it's inconvenient to say... I can understand. I hope you can accept this. Yesterday, you and Prince Yu cough cough... cough cough!"

Gong Yu's mother was halfway through her words when she suddenly started coughing violently and her body slid off the stool to the ground.

Su Rou wanted to support him, but was stopped by Gong Yu's mother's hand.

"You're also a good kid. My disease isn't contagious, so don't despise me... I'm just worried that if I don't see you again, I won't be able to see you next time."

Su Rou frowned slightly, looking at Gong Yu's mother's distressed expression and panic. Her mind was hot and she said, "You care so much about Prince Yu, I think you have a special relationship with him. You'd better not say anything. By the way, before you take the herbs that Prince Yu brought back, you must ask someone to check the ingredients inside. Don't take them carelessly, especially that glowing pill. It's probably poisonous."

In a hurry, he even forgot to pretend and said such words.

By the time she realized it, it was too late.

There was a shadow on the ground outside the door, and Su Rou's heart was in her throat.

The little palace maid who made tea is back? ?

I hope you didn't hear what she said.
