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

In an instant, all the desert people in the lobby stood up, drew their swords and pointed them in Su Rou's direction.

Yuan Wen panicked and tugged at Su Rou's sleeve, "Rou Rou! Don't do anything."

Su Rou snorted coldly, "Even if I kill this Northern Barbarian King, what will happen to the people of the desert? Do they dare to attack me?"

There was a blood mark on Andre's neck, and there was more appreciation in his eyes as he looked at Su Rou.

"If you take action, the friendship between the Great Desert and the Northern Kingdom will be broken. I don't think you would want the people to experience the pain of war."

Su Rou raised her eyebrows, "Are you threatening me?"

Andre shook his head and waved his hand for the others to put down their weapons. "I'm not threatening you. I'm just stating the facts to the girl from an objective perspective. I also don't think she'll actually do anything."

Su Rou retracted the dagger. Apart from anything else, she really didn't dare to attack Andre like that.

The king of a small desert tribe died in the capital. The general's mansion was probably in big trouble...

The waiter of the restaurant stood there with the food that Su Rou ordered, not daring to move forward. He was obviously frightened by their scene.

Su Rou said, "You can't marry her, so you can leave now. I'm going to have dinner."

Andre glanced at the waiter, stepped aside, and signaled the waiter that he could serve the dishes.

Su Rou took the chopsticks and took two mouthfuls of rice, then took a chicken leg and took a big bite.

She picked up a chicken wing for Yuan Wen, completely ignoring Andre who was standing next to him.

After Su Rou had eaten her fill, she left.

She didn't tell Su Wan about her encounter with Andre in the restaurant. If the emperor could decide her marriage on behalf of her father, she wouldn't have been left unmarried until now.

In the past, the system of marriage alliances was for the purpose of friendly relations between the two countries. A princess was sent there, but she, the daughter of a general, was targeted by people from the desert. There was only one possibility.

Da Mo wanted to win her over. Besides the General's Mansion, she also had a Jade Shop behind her.

It was still relatively warm during the day, and the snow in the yard had almost melted, except that the ground was still wet. Su Rou leaned back in the armchair and took a sip of tea.

The fourth wife, Mrs. Su, said, "I have been with you these past few days, and the situation in the second house has become a little more stable."

Su Rou asked, "Has anyone sent to inform Second Brother about Second Madam's condition? Chinese New Year is coming soon. Will Second Brother come back this year?"

Su Chi said, "I've sent a carrier pigeon, but there's been no reply yet. It should still be on the way."

Su Rou said, "When did the imperial physician notice the Second Madam's condition and when did it begin?"

Su Rou sighed. If that was the case, then she really had no clue about the Second Madam's affairs.

They already had physical evidence, but the maid committed suicide, so there was no witness...

Su Chi pushed the cakes on the plate towards Su Rou and said, "I heard from the servants in the mansion that you went to help the prince get rid of the poison yesterday, and after you came back you went out again."

Su Rou smacked her lips. "Xie Yuan... was a little slow. It was already very late when I came back. There was no food left for me at the mansion, so I went out to eat with Yuan Wen. We even ran into him at the restaurant yesterday..."

She was halfway through her words when she suddenly choked. Her third brother must have known that the Northern Barbarian King had appeared in the capital.

She said, "Yuan Wen came to see me. It was the Northern Barbarian King of the Great Desert who sent her to pass on a message to me, hoping to see me. Yesterday, when I happened to go to the restaurant, I ran into the Northern Barbarian King. The emperor should also know that he has entered the capital, right?"

There was no trace of emotion on Su Chi's face, it seemed that he knew it.

Su Chi said, "I know, and he brought his troops here this time to ask the emperor for a marriage decree to marry you and take you back to the desert."

As he spoke, Su Chi's voice became a little colder.

Su Rou was surprised, "Third brother, have you heard about this?"

Could it be that they spread such rumors in the capital?

Su also echoed, "People from the desert want to marry Arou? Arou has never been to the desert, how can they be so shameless?"

Isn't it true...

Su Rou agreed with Su's words.

Su Rou said, "They will definitely not succeed, but the people from the desert are in the capital during this period, so it's better to keep a close eye on them."

Su Chi said, "Da Mo has come prepared this time, so be careful."

Su Rou always felt that Su Chi had something else to say when he reminded her.

Almost every time, the third brother would give her the feeling that he knew everything and was secretly reminding her...

Su Rou stood up and waved her hand, "I know."

In order to welcome the Northern Barbarian King, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and all the civil and military officials in the court brought their wives into the palace.

The noble ladies from each family will also show up. Su Rou didn't go, so she asked Su Wan to take Su Chi with her.

She lay in the rocking chair in the yard, basking in the sun. The winter sun was cold yet warm.

The sunlight feels warm on your body, but when a cool breeze blows, you suddenly feel cold.

A head suddenly appeared from the eaves, and a shadow fell on Su Rou's face. Su Rou opened her eyes vigilantly, and was so scared that she pulled out a dagger.

But only when she saw who it was did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why not go through the main gate and sneak in secretly? How shameful is Prince Yu?"

Gong Yu hung upside down from the eaves, "You didn't go to the palace banquet today, and you hid in the yard just to be lazy?"

Su Rou put away the dagger and a bad idea came to her mind.

She held her waist with one hand, her figure slender and graceful. "Then, Your Highness Prince Yu, tell me, why didn't you go to the banquet in the palace? I heard that the Northern Barbarian King came here to ask the Emperor for a marriage. If I remember correctly, Your Highness Prince Yu seemed to have said that he liked me. If you don't explain, I will think that Your Highness Prince Yu was worried that I would be abducted by the Northern Barbarian King, so he came to check on me."

Gong Yu came down from the eaves, "You won't let the Northern Barbarian King really marry you."

He said this as if he knew her very well...

Su Rou said, "What if I am willing to go with him?"

Gong Yu was wearing a black cloak with floral patterns embroidered with gold thread that sparkled in the sun.

He grabbed her hand and pushed her against the wall. His sinister eyes stared at her face with a chilling coldness. "I'll kill him. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will bring you back."

In a trance, Su Rou looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her and forgot to resist for a moment.

She came back to her senses and blinked twice quickly. Has Gong Yu's acting skills reached this level now?

Su Rou laughed twice, thinking he was joking. "Okay, okay, bring me back. That Northern Barbarian King looks so old and arrogant. I don't like men like him."

Gong Yu looked at her and said, "The Northern Barbarian King is only seventeen now. In the desert, they respect strength and are called the youngest king. They also say he is the most likely to succeed him as the new King of the Desert. He looks... quite handsome too."

Su Rou frowned, "Are we talking about the same person? When I saw him yesterday, the Northern Barbarian King had a big beard and was only slightly slimmer than my father. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he was my father who hadn't gained weight."
