Su Rou was startled and said, "Three...oh no, General Su is back?"

They can set off back to the capital tomorrow, and the third brother should be preparing to come and pick her up.

Gong Yuanzhi's eyes were full of questions, "Three?"

She almost called him Third Brother just now.

The Southern Kingdom's Emperor was right here. If she blurted out the truth, they might discover her identity...

Su Rou waved her hand, "No, you heard wrong~"

The Southern Kingdom Emperor said, "Miss Dai seems to have a good relationship with General Su. She was immediately delighted when she heard that General Su had arrived. Is she a subordinate of General Su in the Northern Kingdom?"

Su Rou smiled and said, "My relationship with General Su is not good, not at all. Your Majesty, please don't let your imagination run wild."

She tried her best to guide the Southern Emperor's thoughts elsewhere, at least not to associate her with her third brother!

Su Rou had almost finished eating, and the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom asked the palace maid to come and clean the table.

The Southern Emperor looked at Su Rou and said, "You've been staying in the palace these past few days. Is there anything I haven't treated you well enough?"

Su Rou shook her head. "No, except that Prince Yu is quite irritating, there's nothing else."

When Gong Yu was mentioned, Gong Yuanzhi's expression changed again and again.

She didn't know what kind of daughter-in-law the Gong family wanted to marry, but it was definitely not someone like her.

What's more, there is an unspoken national hatred between the southerners and the northerners.

Gong Yuanzhi said, "You seem to have a good relationship with Yu...Wang."

Su Rou said, "General Gong is right. Prince Yu and I have a very good relationship."

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, wanting to see the reactions of Gong Yuanzhi and the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom.

Gong Yu's biological father was sitting here. She didn't believe that they would have no reaction if Gong Yu got close to a girl from the Northern Country.

Unexpectedly, Gong Yuanzhi burst into a swearing voice, "You little girl, you have no dignity at all. How can a girl be in the same room with a man? You two are not married!"

Su Rou didn't expect Gong Yuanzhi's reaction to be so strong...

Gong Yuanzhi was just as worried as if Gong Yu, this piglet, would be taken away by this beautiful little cabbage.

Su Rou said, "If His Royal Highness Prince Yu really marries me in the future, I think the Emperor should be the one who is most worried."

This means that they don't know who her father is.

If he knew, would he still be able to sit here and have a meal with her so calmly?

Su Rou continued, "But how did the emperor find the body this morning? I clearly found a random grave and buried the person there yesterday."

They found one of similar size and squeezed the corpse in with the person who had already turned into bones.

Her vague question made the Southern Emperor's face freeze.

Su Rou narrowed her eyes slightly. She dared to admit openly that she was the one who killed the person.

Does the Southern Emperor dare to openly admit that he was the one who sent someone to kill her?

The Southern Emperor laughed dryly twice.

Gong Yuanzhi could only agree, "The people of Southern China are most familiar with that cemetery. They can spot any extra pits on the ground. What's more, a newly renovated grave mound suddenly appeared in that place."

If this is the explanation, it does make sense.

But she didn't believe it at all.

Su Rou said, "I see. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought the Emperor had such extraordinary abilities that he could tell where a body was without even being there..."

The Southern Emperor and Gong Yuanzhi shut their mouths. If they continued talking, they might fall into the trap she had set for them.

This was her warning to them.

Come out from the side hall.

Su Rou stood on the steps and stretched. She hadn't eaten breakfast, but she had a full meal at the Southern Emperor's place. She wanted to find a place to digest her food...

Gong Yuanzhi's voice suddenly came from behind, "Su Chi entered the Southern Kingdom, but I haven't seen him. What are you guys secretly planning?"

Su Rou turned her head and said, "General Su... maybe he hasn't been to the South Country and has gone to other places to enjoy the scenery. We are not as bad as you think, General Gong."

Gong Yuanzhi looked at her with a strange expression, with a hint of threat in his taste, "It's better this way."

Su Rou curved her eyes and looked at Gong Yuanzhi with a hint of understanding in her expression.

She said, "General Gong, I advise you to curb your anger. As things stand now, the Southern Kingdom is no longer the Southern Kingdom it once was."

Gong Yuanzhi shrugged off her words, "Do I need a little girl like you to scold me?!"

Gong Yuanzhi could be considered a hero of his generation, but unfortunately, after he was defeated by his father, his career went downhill.

Fortunately, there is still a Gong Yu in the South Country. Apart from anything else, Gong Yu in the future will be enough to be worth two Gong Yuanzhis.

Watching Su Rou leave, Gong Yuanzhi glanced behind him.

The Southern Emperor walked out from behind the door and asked, "What did the spies lurking in the Northern Kingdom report back? Have they found out the identity of this evil girl?"

Gong Yuanzhi shook his head, "The spies didn't find out the identity of this little girl..."

The Southern Kingdom Emperor snorted coldly, "Useless! It's such a waste of money for me to support a bunch of useless people like you."

The palace servants waiting nearby knelt down instantly, fearing that the emperor would be unhappy and drag them out to be beheaded in the next second.

Gong Yuanzhi lowered his head. At this critical moment, he didn't dare to face the emperor's anger head-on.

"Your Majesty, however, there is something rather strange. The people from the Yufang caravan intercepted our people as they entered the capital. We might have spies among our people..."

Otherwise, how did the people in Yufang receive the news in advance?

The Southern Kingdom Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and kicked Gong Yuanzhi on the leg. "We were discovered right after entering the capital?! Trash! A bunch of useless people who just eat for free!"

Gong Yuanzhi gasped in pain, his broad body trembling. The place where the emperor stepped was exactly where his calf was injured that year.

Although his legs no longer affect his walking, they can no longer allow him to dominate the battlefield.

Once you exert force, the pain goes deep into your bones!

The Southern Emperor vented all his anger on him, and Gong Yuanzhi believed that this was what he deserved.

If I hadn't lost that battle, the Southern Kingdom wouldn't be in this state now...

He lay on the ground, trying his best to pull his legs under his body to avoid being kicked further by the Southern Emperor.

"Your Majesty... The Ministry of Justice has already examined the body."

After beating Gong Yuanzhi, the Southern Emperor finally calmed down a bit, "Announce."

A man in official robes bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, the wound on the corpse has been examined. The wound is deep enough to reveal the bone. It must have been caused by a small, dagger-like weapon. Such ruthlessness must have been caused by Su Chi."

Gong Yuanzhi, who was lying on the ground, secretly raised his head.

The Southern Kingdom Emperor put his hands behind his back and said, "Those evildoers are still trying to get away with it. Report to me immediately if Su Chi shows up in the royal city. If he doesn't show up, just keep an eye on that evil girl. They must be plotting something in secret!"
