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

Su Rou chewed the chicken leg in her mouth and said, "Mother, you have to guard the Second Madam's bed tonight. It's useless to say anything now. Wait until dawn."

Su nodded. "I'll sleep with her tonight. But, Ah Rou, if you're worried about the Second Madam, then just worry. Why did you have everyone in the mansion surrounded?"

Su Rou threw away the clean chicken bones in her hand and said, "To prevent someone from... trying to go out and tip off the news."

Su Rou actually didn't know who dared to do such a thing in secret.

What’s the point of them bullying the Meng family?

Su Rou's eyes suddenly darkened as she thought of her second brother who was still guarding the border.

Are you here for the second brother?

Su Rou said, "It's too late tonight, everyone go back and rest. Mother, please keep an eye on the Second Madam."

The wind was bitingly cold, and although it was winter, the moon was bright and clear.

Su Rou climbed over the wall and couldn't help shivering. When she looked up, she ran into Su Chi.

Su Rou said a little embarrassedly, "Third brother hasn't returned to the yard to rest yet? What a coincidence, you are also on the roof to enjoy the moon?"

Su Chi took off his cloak and put it on her. "You came here, don't think I don't know what you want to do. You are wearing too little and standing here in the vent. Do you want to have a headache tomorrow?"

Su Rou said, "I'm not a child, I naturally know the difference between cold and warm..."

Su Chi tied it up for her and said, "You are just a child. It's too cold tonight. Go down and I will keep watch for you."

Su Rou grabbed Su Chi's arm. How could this be possible? She wanted to catch the murderer who bullied the Meng family herself!

Mrs. Meng's mental state must have been caused by long-term torture. The imperial physician said today that if she is given more time to accompany her in the future, perhaps some of her symptoms can be alleviated.

She didn't know whether Meng was a good person or not, but those who secretly bullied Meng would definitely not sit still.

Su Rou said, "I, I'll accompany you."

Su Chi was firm, "Go down. If you catch a cold, it will take you several days to recover."

Su Rou curled her lips and jumped off the wall obediently. She did not leave, but sat down directly against the wall.

She raised her head and glanced at Su Chi. In order to avoid being discovered, she did not dare to continue talking to Su Chi.

All the lights in the front yard went out, and the yard fell into darkness.

Su Rou leaned against the wall, curled up her neck and fell into a deep sleep.

"Plop" Su Rou was awakened by the sound.

She opened her eyes, wondering if her third brother had caught someone.

She quickly climbed over the wall and saw a man being pinned to the ground by Su Chi, unable to move.

Su Rou said, "Third brother, is it her?"

Su Chi said, "She just slipped some drugs into the room and was caught red-handed. It looks like it was... the maid who served the Second Madam personally."

The maid was waiting for Su Chi and Su Rou fiercely.

She bent down and shuddered. "This maid looks unfamiliar. She doesn't look like she's usually around the mansion."

Although the maids in each room and courtyard are fixed, they are supposed to serve their own masters after all. How could they not appear in the mansion?

Su Rou said, "Tie her up."

Unexpectedly, the maid bit Su Chi's leg, and then used the knife hidden in her clothes to cut her own throat.

The whole process was so smooth and efficient that Su Rou and Su Chi had no time to react.

Su Rou looked at the maid who fell in front of her and fell into silence. Well, she and her third brother had worked in vain all night.

Su Chi said, "This person committed suicide so quickly and decisively, it must have been trained in advance. The indenture contract that the maid was holding when she entered the mansion should reveal her identity."

Su Rou said, "After the eldest lady was driven out, my mother temporarily took charge of the mansion's accounts."

According to the order, Meng was the elder of Ji and her mother, so she should be in charge. However, they sent someone to inquire at that time, and Meng asked the person to refuse.

Su Chi said, "You should go and rest tonight. I just sent someone to check on the Fourth and Second Madams. They just inhaled some magic incense and will be awake by tomorrow."

Su Rou said, "Tomorrow we'll ask the Dali Temple to come and look at this corpse. In the next few days, I need to deal with the prince's poison. We can't let any more incidents in the palace arouse the emperor's suspicion."

Su Rou returned to the yard and didn't even want to take off her cloak. She just fell straight on the bed, but the next second, she noticed that there seemed to be someone lying on the bed.

She pulled back the quilt and saw Gong Yu.

Under the moonlight, the man's handsome face looked three-dimensional and beautiful.

Those deep eyes stared at her as if they wanted to dig a hole in her face.

Su Rou breathed a sigh of relief. "What? Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? Prince Yu is climbing into my bed?"

Gong Yu said, "You haven't come to see me these days."

Su Rou was exhausted both physically and mentally after being outside in the cold for half the night.

"I don't have anything to ask you for, and besides, you're scary like this."

But this is just Gong Yu.

If it was an assassin, he wouldn't lie on her bed like a pervert.

Gong Yu propped himself up with one arm and sat up. He put his arm around Su Rou's shoulders and asked her to lie down with him. "I have a message for you. As far as I know, the Southern Kingdom has successfully established a connection with the Great Desert. If the Southern Kingdom joins forces with the Great Desert to attack the Northern Kingdom in the future, both sides will suffer losses. There is a brilliant solution. The Great Desert has already sent people to infiltrate the Northern Kingdom."

Su Rou said, "The Great Desert? Why would a small country like the Southern Kingdom need to involve the Great Desert? What conditions did the Southern Kingdom's emperor offer?"

Gong Yu's eyes flickered, and after a long silence, he said, "Your good sister, her name is Yuan Wen? She was picked up by the people from the desert a while ago, and she quietly returned to the city tonight. If she comes looking for you, it's best to be careful."

Su Rou said, "I understand, but is it necessary for the two of us to lie down and discuss this?"

And covered with a big quilt!

Gong Yu raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Isn't discussing under the covers enough to satisfy you?"

Su Rou pushed away Gong Yu's hand that was reaching out to her under the quilt, "No, no, no, I still feel it's inappropriate for you to act like a hooligan like this. I'll take you back home."

Su Rou still wanted to get up, but was pinned down by Gong Yu's arm and lay on the bed, unable to move.

Gong Yu grabbed her cold hand with his warm hand and gently covered his cheek.

"I've warmed up your bed. It's freezing outside. Do you have the heart to send me back?"

Su Rou frowned, "Why do I feel that you have become so shameless? Get up! Unless it snows heavily! You have to go back no matter how cold it is. How can you sleep with a weak woman like me all day long?!"

Su Rou stood up without taking off her cloak, and opened the door. A cold wind blew in her face, accompanied by a few snowflakes.

She had just returned for a short while, and the ground in the yard was already covered in white snow? ?

Gong Yu lay on the bed with a smile on his face, "It seems that even God thinks I shouldn't go back tonight."
