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

Su Rou turned the dagger in her hand and stabbed it into Chang Xi's calf. She slashed horizontally, severing the tendons behind Chang Xi's feet.

Chang Xi had a foot binding stuffed in her mouth and could only groan in pain.

Su Rou raised her eyes and looked at Chang Xi's hands.

In her previous life, Chang Xi instigated Xie Yuan to cut her tendons in her hands and feet. Now she also wants Chang Xi to taste the same pain.

Seeing a layer of sweat on Chang Xi's forehead in pain, Su Rou still felt a little unsatisfied.

Perhaps Chang Xi now doesn't understand why she could do such a cruel thing...

Even if Chang Xi doesn't know what she did wrong now, she still wants revenge.

Su Rou lowered her voice and asked, "If you want to blame someone, blame who made you Chang Xi?"

Su Rou also cut the tendons of Chang Xi's hand without damaging the bones, and she managed to cut a dividing line in the flesh of Chang Xi's hand.

Let the blood flow for a while, she had to deal with Chang Xi's body.

Su Rou looked at Chang Xi lying on the ground dying, with only endless indifference in her eyes.

Seeing that it was almost done, she bent down to check whether the rope on Chang Xi was tied tightly.

She poured the wax from the oil lamp on Chang Xi. Even though there was a layer of clothes between them, the wax was still hot when it touched her body.

Su Rou kicked the brazier used for heating again, and with a kick, she kicked the brazier over at Chang Xi's feet.

The burning carbon quickly ignited Chang Xi's dress.

Su Rou picked up a piece and threw it on the tent.

She turned and left.

While the soldiers on guard outside were not paying attention to her, Su Rou walked out of the tent, but when she turned her head, she bumped into someone's chest.

She raised her head and saw Gong Yu staring at her without blinking.

Gong Yu said, "Why are you so sneaky? What bad things have you done?"

Su Rou straightened her dress to make herself look less suspicious.

"You're just looking down on me. I just stole a few bites of meat and you're accusing me of being sneaky. Get out of here! I'm going back to my tent to sleep."

The moment Su Rou brushed past him, Gong Yu grabbed her hand.

There was a dark stain on the white fingertips, which was the mark left when Su Rou held the carbon block with her bare hands just now.

She quickly withdrew her hand, "What? I must have accidentally touched something."

Her fingertips felt a slight pain. She had been so busy that she had forgotten that the charcoal was burning.

Before Gong Yu could finish the words on the tip of his tongue, a large patch of orange-red fire illuminated Su Rou and his cheeks.

Gong Yu turned his head and saw that Chang Xi's tent had been set on fire and was completely engulfed in flames.

"There's a fire."

Su Rou pretended to be shocked. "Yeah, why did the fire suddenly start? Wait, isn't the person living in this tent the girl named Chang Xi?"

When Gong Yu and she went to the entrance of the tent, the fire had completely covered the entrance.

Su Rou was very satisfied with her masterpiece. At least when she set the fire, she had considered what to do if the soldiers outside rushed in to rescue Chang Xi.

She would not give Chang Xi any hope of living.

The fire in the tent soon attracted Su Chi.

Su Rou frowned with a worried look on her face, "Third brother, that Miss Chang seems to be still in there, is she okay?"

Su Chi took a look inside and said, "This place is quite far from the water source. It has been burning for such a long time, and I haven't heard anyone calling for help from inside. I'm afraid it must have burned out long ago."

Su Rou nodded. "But I just told the soldiers to use all the water they brought to put out the fire. If you need more water, you have to run to the water source we found."

Su Chi said, "Stay away from them so they don't bump into you. Ask Prince Yu to take you back first."

Su Rou nodded. This would clear her of suspicion, right?

There is a law in the Northern Kingdom that if a soldier kills civilians, he should be executed according to the law.

She couldn't give the emperor a reason, so she had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

When she turned around, she met Gong Yu's eyes.

It seemed like Gong Yu had been staring at her since the beginning.

She hid her hands behind her back uncomfortably. Gong Yu could see it, and probably her third brother could see it too.

She couldn't let her third brother see this decisive evidence of the crime.

Su Rou said, "Your Highness Prince Yu, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. Should we go back and rest first?"

Gong Yu didn't expose her, and said lightly, "Okay."

The two men did not return to the tent, but walked side by side in the woods behind the camp.

Gong Yu said, "Your hand looks like it was burned by a piece of charcoal. Why don't you ask someone to bring you some ice water to apply to it?"

Su Rou said, "No... no need... my injury is not serious."

Gong Yu said, "I think so too. Did you set the fire?"

Su Rou was stunned. How come Gong Yu figured out the trick so quickly?

It's better to insist that this matter has nothing to do with her...

Su Rou said, "What's the rage? If you want to frame me, you have to find a good reason. Today is the first day I've met Miss Chang. What hatred or grudge do we have? I'm going to burn her to death right away."

The moonlight was bright, illuminating the entire forest.

Su Rou saw Gong Yu's expression clearly.

He was calm and uneventful.

"I don't know what grudge that person has against you... but I have a feeling that this fire is related to you."

Don't say it.

Gong Yu’s intuition is quite accurate.

Su Rou said, "It's not me. I am a kind-hearted girl. How could I have such a vicious mind?"

Gong Yu raised an eyebrow and sneered, "That person has nothing to do with me. I just asked casually."

Was he just asking casually?

Su Rou didn't believe it.

If Gong Yu hadn't doubted her, he wouldn't have said such a thing. If only she hadn't run into Gong Yu after she left Chang Xi's place...

Su Rou said, "Let's go back. It's a bit cold in the forest. The fire might have gone out by now."

She felt that Chang Xi deserved to die, as he even burned himself to keep other soldiers in the camp warm before he died.

When she and Gong Yu came down the hill, the fire had been completely extinguished just as she had said.

The air in the camp was filled with a strong smell of burnt food.

Chang Xi's body had also been moved out.

Chang Xi's body had been burnt. Su Rou seemed a little unconvinced and kicked it lightly with her foot.

I felt relieved only after confirming that Chang Xi was motionless.

Su Rou said, "Third brother, it's so scary, it's burned black."

Although she said she was afraid, she picked up a small branch from the ground and poked the burnt surface of the body.

Su Chi said, "It's getting late today. Let's go back and rest for now. We'll send someone to investigate the cause of the fire tomorrow morning."

Su Rou stood up and said, "Okay."

The moment she turned around to go back, her eyes saw Chang Xi lying on the ground...

Seems to have moved a little?
