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

Su Rou's behavior was tantamount to roasting the emperor over fire.

Does the emperor want to use this to intimidate their general's office?

laugh……

She would never give the emperor such an opportunity...

The emperor stared at Su Rou, "You!"

It was as if the emperor would get angry with her at the next second.

She was certain that the emperor did not dare to actually attack her.

Even if he had such an idea, once the news reached the court, those generals who supported her father would not be fooled so easily.

Dealing with the aftermath of this matter would be much more troublesome than dealing with her now.

Su Wan called Su Rou worriedly, "A Rou..."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Su Wan, look at your good daughter. Now she dares to climb over my head and act wildly."

Su Rou raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Your Majesty, wasn't it you who sent people here to slander me first?"

The emperor said, "I only give you three days. If you can't cure Yuan'er's poison within three days, the General's Mansion will not be able to escape this."

After the emperor left, the soldiers surrounding the general's mansion also withdrew.

Su Rou sat on the armchair with her legs crossed and calmly drank a sip of tea.

Su Wan paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

"The Emperor is clearly trying to pin this on the General's Mansion! My father has been to the desert before, so we can discuss this with the other generals in the court. Perhaps one of them knows a Gu Master in the desert."

Su Rou was calm and composed. She was not in a hurry to remove the poison. With the old woman around, it wouldn't be a big problem.

but……

Su Rou put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "While we were away, what happened in the capital? Why is the emperor so determined to put the blame on the general's mansion?"

There must be something fishy about this.

Su Chong said, "Little sister, when you and the third brother went to the Southern Kingdom, the Third Princess came several times... She was very friendly at first, but one day, for some reason, she left in a hurry right after arriving. When she returned, I heard that the Emperor was furious. After that, she repeatedly targeted my father and me in the court. Whatever my father and I said, the Emperor ignored it."

After hearing this, Su Rou felt that there was indeed a hint of revenge in it.

Three princesses?

What could the third princess hear in the general's mansion that would make her angry?

Everyone in the general's mansion is extremely loyal to the emperor.

Su Rou suddenly thought of Ji Shi.

She remembered that she and her father had previously advised Ji to let her third brother marry another wife before marrying the third princess.

Ji didn't show any resistance at the time, so she and her father didn't take it to heart.

Is it because of this?

If this is really the case, the General's Mansion can be considered guilty of deceiving the emperor.

Su Rou asked, "Have you asked the maids in the mansion? Where did the Third Princess go first after she arrived that day? Who did she meet?"

Su Chong said, "Father has already asked. According to custom, every time the Third Princess comes here, she will first pay her respects to the Third Madam Ji."

It seems that this matter is almost what she thought.

It was Ji who interfered and told the third princess their plan.

Su Rou turned to look at Su Chi, "Third brother, you just came back. The Third Princess and the Emperor might force you to marry him. Don't be annoyed. Keep them calm first. I will take care of the marriage between Xie Yuan and the Third Princess."

Su Chi said, "What can you do? You've never left the capital since you were a child. There's no way to cure Xie Yuan of the Gu."

Su Rou said, "Don't worry about that. I naturally have a way. Within two days, no, one day, the poison in Xie Yuan's body will be removed, and the emperor will not be able to continue to target the general's mansion."

Su Rou asked the maid in the mansion to write a notice, then pulled a passerby on the street, stuffed some silver into his pocket, and asked him to post the notice at the city gate for her.

The old woman should appear soon after seeing this.

Su Rou stretched and lay comfortably on the rocking chair in the yard.

"Miss, Lord Bai requests an audience."

A maid came in hurriedly from outside the yard.

Su Rou, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them. "Master Bai? Which Master Bai?"

The maidservant stood by respectfully, "It's Master Bai Sibai."

Su Rou rolled over and tried to get up from the rocking chair, but as the amplitude of her body swinging became larger, the rocking chair under her also rocked larger, and she rocked faster because she was not sitting firmly.

Su Rou said, "Why did he come to see me?"

You should know that in the past, Bai Si came to the general's mansion only as a subordinate to discuss important matters with my father.

What can Bai Si discuss with her?

The maid helped Su Rou get up from the rocking chair.

"Miss, please slow down."

Su Rou left the maid behind and quickened her pace towards the front yard.

Bai Si was placed in the front hall. When Su Rou went there, she bumped into Bai Si who was sitting at the door.

Bai Si said, "I came to visit you just after you came back yesterday. I hope you don't mind."

Su Rou said, "No problem, no problem. Uncle, why did you come to see me?"

Bai Si pulled out a chair for her, and the two of them sat at the door and talked leisurely.

Bai Si brought her a piece of news. The reason why the emperor pushed the matter of Xie Yuan being poisoned by the Gu to the General's Mansion without any evidence was because the Northern Kingdom received news that the Southern Kingdom was secretly winning over the surrounding small countries and was ready to counterattack the Northern Kingdom at any time.

It just so happened that during the time she and Gong Yu were in the Southern Kingdom, everything that happened between them was reported to the emperor by the accompanying soldiers when they arrived in the capital.

From the intelligence reported by the soldiers, the emperor was certain that she and Gong Yu had developed some kind of feelings...

During the time when she and Gong Yu were away, the emperor felt that the General's Mansion might have been instigated by the Southern Kingdom to rebel.

Su Rou: “…”

When she and Gong Yu were in the Southern Country, they seemed to be quite close?!

Then what about when she and Gong Yu slept in the same bed in the room behind closed doors?

She and Gong Yu had even more intimate things going on! They hadn't even met before, so they took her words out of context!

Su Rou said, "Uncle, why are you telling me this?"

Bai Si said, "If General Su knew, he would only side with you and say that this is impossible. But if I tell you, you will definitely calm down and think carefully about how to solve it."

This is true...

Su Rou said, "Then uncle, do you believe that Prince Yu and I are innocent?"

Bai Si looked at her with an inexplicable expression, "I don't believe it. I was there when General Su met you at the city gate. Although this trip to the Southern Kingdom has been less than half a year, the way His Royal Highness Prince Yu looks at you has changed."

What? !

Su Rou frowned. How could Gong Yu look at her?

How else could he look at her?

Su Rou's tone softened, and she was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"Well... you can't say we were instigated to rebel, right? Maybe you were just dazzled and saw things wrong yesterday. The light was dim in that place, and you're old..."

Bai Si knocked her head and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm still young and my eyesight is good."
