Gong Yu did not expose her, but just lay quietly beside her.

Su Rou couldn't hold on any longer, so she turned over and faced away from Gong Yu.

What the hell, she was already sleeping here and he still followed her here, and he didn't know what she meant?

She heard Gong Yu's hoarse voice coming from the back of her head.

He hooked a strand of her hair and said, "It will only make you feel more at ease when you fall asleep."

Su Rou's body stiffened. She opened her eyes and looked at Gong Yu. She had been able to endure until now because she had too good a temper.

"What are you doing? You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you're smelling my hair. Your Highness Prince Yu has a rather strange habit."

Gong Yu didn't let go, instead he pressed closer and asked, "Are you not going to pretend to sleep anymore?"

Su Rou looked into Gong Yu's eyes and said without blushing or panting, "You're lying behind me like a flower thief. You must have scared me awake."

Gong Yu let go of her hair and said in a deliberately choking tone, "Oh, I thought you were awake the whole time, lying here waiting for me to fall into your trap."

Su Rou turned around and pushed him away with both hands, "Have some shame, get out of here. I need to sleep. Tomorrow is the last day, so finish your business as soon as possible."

When the time comes, no matter who Gong Yu is or what Nan Guo is planning behind the scenes, she will take Gong Yu back.

Gong Yu said, "I will go back with you, but I will only follow you."

Su Rou was stunned. Although she could sense that Gong Yu had something to say, she was powerless to do anything...

Su Rou said, "I'm going to sleep for now. You can sleep on the bed. I won't fight with you."

Gong Yu bent down and picked up Su Rou horizontally. She felt dizzy and quickly put her arms around his neck.

Gong Yu sat on the edge of the bed and placed her on his lap. "You spent money to buy the silk on this bed. Since you spent money, why don't you sleep on it?"

Su Rou struggled a bit and got out of his arms. "This is what I bought for you. You can sleep down there."

Gong Yu lay down on the bed like a scoundrel, and blocked the edge of the bed tightly with his long body. Su Rou couldn't find a chance to get down.

"I'm weak and can't sleep on the ground. It's so cold, and I don't think you'd want me to lie down there."

"No, I'm definitely willing to give it up."

Su Rou raised her foot to kick him down, but her foot was grabbed instead.

Gong Yu gave a slight pull, and Su Rou lost her balance and bumped her head against the wall.

Su Rou covered her head with her hands, feeling very painful.

Gong Yu quickly let go of Su Rou and came over to look at her, "Sorry, I didn't expect you to kick that place. Did it hurt?"

A tear squeezed out of Su Rou's eye, and the pain made her head numb!

Gong Yu wiped away her tears and asked, "Are you crying in pain?"

Su Rou took the opportunity to look up and kicked him off the bed.

She glared at Gong Yu fiercely, "We're even now."

Gong Yu was stunned for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Haha, okay."

Su Rou was afraid that he would cause more trouble in the middle of the night, so she wrapped herself in the quilt and fell asleep.

At night, the room was dark, with only the bright moonlight hanging in the sky outside the window.

The moonlight shone into the room through the window lattice...

And... on Gong Yu who was sitting by the window.

He raised his head to look at the sky, then fixed his gaze on the person who was already fast asleep on the bed.

Gong Yu made sure that Su Rou had fallen into a deep sleep on the bed, so he took his cloak, quietly opened the door and went out.

A cool breeze blew from somewhere, making Su Rou's face feel cold while she was sleeping.

She opened her eyes drowsily. The room was quiet but there was nothing else going on.

She glanced under the bed, but there was no trace of Gong Yu on the ground.

Su Rou was no longer sleepy, she opened her eyes and looked around her.

Gong Yu didn't sleep in the bed either? !

Su Rou was instantly flustered. She hadn't been paying attention for a while, so how could he disappear again?

Su Rou quickly got out of bed and walked around the room. Where was Gong Yu sleeping in the room so late at night?

The roof?!

Su Rou opened the door and was immediately shivered by a gust of cold wind.

She went back to get a cloak and put it on herself before going out.

The south gets cold earlier than the north.

Su Rou looked up and saw a dark cloud in the sky. It looked like it was going to rain soon.

If it rains in the south, I think the sandy weather at the northern border should improve, right?

Su Rou called over a soldier hiding in the dark, "Where did Prince Yu go again?"

The soldier said, "After getting up at night, His Royal Highness Prince Yu wandered around the palace and then disappeared."

Su Rou tugged at her cloak, "Why didn't you come and report to me if someone disappeared?!"

The soldier shuddered at Su Rou's voice. "The palace is full of our people... If we keep a close watch, it might backfire..."

Su Rou gritted her teeth. Gong Yu was wandering around the palace not because he was about to leave or was reluctant to leave, but because he was trying to hide his whereabouts and confuse their sight!

Su Rou said, "Tell everyone to report the last place Prince Yu was seen."

She didn't think Gong Yu had run away now, nor did she distrust Gong Yu's character.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Gong Yu stayed up late at night to do this, so there must be something that he cannot let her know.

The soldier quickly relayed the news to her.

Su Rou rode her horse, speeding through the streets of the Southern Kingdom's capital.

The streets were too depressing during the day, and everyone used her as an outlet to vent their emotions and pointed their fingers at her.

There was no one on the street at night, and no one said anything when she and a horse galloped down the street.

Su Rou has some bad intentions. During the day, the people point fingers at her and make comments. At night, she insists on riding a horse on the street, disturbing them so that they can't sleep!

Su Rou soon arrived at the place where she met Gong Yu during the day.

Continuing to walk forward, Su Rou saw a river. Was this the river where he caught fish today?

After crossing the river, Su Rou suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.

She was shivering with cold, and the horse could not go any further, so she dismounted and led the horse along.

But after taking only two steps, Su Rou realized that she seemed to have stepped on something that shouldn't be there.

The foot feels soft and you can sink your whole foot into it with just a little effort.

A cold wind blew by, and the moon, which was covered by dark clouds in the sky, showed its light again.

Su Rou took advantage of the moonlight to see the environment around her clearly. There were graves all over the mountains. If she smelled carefully, she could smell a faint scent of incense ash in the air.

I think it has just been burning for a while.

Su Rou bravely looked down and found that her right foot had stepped on a grave mound.

She was so scared that she took two steps back and bumped into something behind her.

Su Rou turned her head and saw a tombstone suddenly appear behind her, blocking her way.

Su Rou saw two large bloody words on the blue-gray tombstone.

Gong Yu.

Su Rou's hair stood on end.

Is this Gong Yu's grave? !
