Gong Yu said, "The people of the desert look different from us. If you went to the palace today, you might be able to see the Northern Barbarian King with a shaved beard."

Su Rou said, "My father and third brother have gone. Is it too late for me to go now?"

Gong Yu grabbed Su Rou by the back of her collar and said, "It's too late for you to go over now."

Su Rou turned around and looked at him, "Aren't you being a bit of a scoundrel? We haven't made a lifelong commitment yet! Why can't you let me go see the man in the desert?"

Gong Yu looked calm, but the eyes he looked at her with were chilling.

Gong Yu had never shown his skills in front of her before. Apart from anything else, just looking at Gong Yu's eyes that looked like they could eat her alive, she didn't believe that anyone else would not be afraid...

Gong Yu said, "What's so good about that man in the desert? Look at me, I'll show you."

Su Rou: “…”

She bit her lower lip and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Hahaha..."

Is Gong Yu really afraid that she will be kidnapped by Andre?

Su Rou said, "Okay, then I won't go. Put me down."

Gong Yu still didn't let go, "I won't let go, you'll run away if I let go."

Su Rou said, "I am different from you today. You are afraid that I will go with another man, but I will only stay by your side."

Gong Yu was stunned for a moment, and looked elsewhere awkwardly.

Although Gong Yu's disguise has become more sophisticated, his essence remains the same...

Su Rou felt Gong Yu letting go of her, so she turned around and hugged Gong Yu.

Still as innocent as ever, not easily provoked!

Gong Yu pretended to push her shoulders twice with his hands, but he didn't use any strength at all.

"What to do?"

Su Rou raised her head with a pure expression, "I said I would stay with you, you see how much I mean."

"Little..." Su Chong's voice happened to come from behind.

She glanced sideways and saw Su Chong standing at the gate of the yard with his face turned away.

"Brother didn't see anything, you guys continue."

Gong Yu pushed her a little harder, but he didn't use much strength, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

Su Rou held Gong Yu tightly and refused to let go. "Brother, tell me, what's the matter?"

Su Rou called out to Su Chong who was about to turn around and leave.

Su Chong paused, "Ah...why don't you two disperse first?"

Su Rou said, "No, His Royal Highness Prince Yu was afraid that I would run away, so he insisted that I hold him."

Gong Yu: “…”

Zhijian Su sighed, expressing his helplessness, and walked forward to pick up Su Rou.

Su Chong held Su Rou in his arms and said, "You are a woman after all. How can you be entangled with Prince Yu?"

Su Chong looked at Gong Yu, "My little sister is ignorant, but His Highness Prince Yu is also ignorant? There are rumors about my little sister and the Northern Barbarian King right now. If rumors about you and my little sister spread, how will outsiders view me?"

Gong Yu: “…”

What Su Chong actually meant was that a woman's reputation is more important.

Su Rou leaned on Su Chong's shoulder and said, "Who spread the rumors about me and the Northern Barbarian King? Cut off his tongue!"

Su Chong said, "It should be the Northern Barbarian King himself. The news spread quickly as soon as they entered the capital. It's obvious that they came for this purpose."

Su Rou was put on the ground by Su Chong, and she straightened the corner of her clothes.

Su Rou said, "However, there is a banquet in the palace today. Why didn't you go with father? I think many women will go with us today, taking the opportunity to find a husband of their dreams."

Her three brothers are all unmarried.

Although it is easy for a general to have an affair with his wife and concubines while he is away, they should really get married and start a family at their age.

A hint of shyness appeared on Su Chong's face. "Actually, I already have a crush on a girl. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go with her today."

Su Rou's eyes lit up, "The girl you like? Whose family is she? Is she a noble lady from some family in the capital? You've been back for so long, it's time to talk about marriage."

Su Chong said, "When I was guarding the garrison, she carried a basket of flowers and sold them at the city gate every day. She wasn't a noble lady from the capital, so when I came back, I wanted to bring her with me, but I thought my father and I would look down on her, so I didn't."

Her elder brother had kept it a secret so well that she had only just heard of the existence of her future sister-in-law now!

Su Rou smiled and said, "Just bring it back. Father never cares about status and background."

Of course, except for Su Chong's biological mother.

At an angle that Su Rou couldn't see, Gong Yu looked at her back.

Su Rou continued, "Let's not talk about this for now. What do you want to talk to me about today?"

Su Chong then remembered why he had come to see her. "Oh, it's about the Northern Barbarian King. They sent troops to threaten the emperor in order to ask for a marriage. A hundred thousand soldiers are already at the gates of the city, pressing on the east side where the second brother is stationed. The third brother has just led his troops to support them."

Su Rou's smile froze. Did Andre think their General's Mansion hadn't had enough troubles recently?!

What the hell is going on between the Great Desert and the Southern Kingdom?!

Are they asking for peace or threatening?

The smile on Su Rou's face completely disappeared, replaced by a hint of worry between her brows.

Su Rou said, "Where's Dad?"

Su Chong said, "I'm still in the palace, so I want to ask if you want to come with me."

Su Rou turned her head and looked at Gong Yu.

Gong Yu said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Su Rou nodded and said, "Stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere."

Before Su Rou followed Su Chong away, she specially called the maid in the mansion to go to her yard.

Whether it's serving tea to Gong Yu or singing and dancing for him, the only thing she can't do is let Gong Yu leave.

There was still white snow hanging on the walls of the palace.

The door of the imperial palace was opened a crack, and Su Rou walked quickly into the hall. She walked along the path and tried her best to reduce her presence.

Civil and military officials gathered together in the hall, singing and dancing in peace and prosperity.

Su Rou immediately saw her father sitting next to her.

Su Wan stood up, his originally solemn expression showing a hint of surprise, "Arou, what are you doing here?"

It seems that before she came, Andre had made his father lose face.

Su Rou said, "Big Brother sent me here. I heard about the Northern Barbarian King."

The third brother has already led his troops to support the second brother, so there is still room for easing the situation.

She glanced at the desert people who had the nerve to sit here, and the leader among them was a young desert man.

Judging from his figure, he is the bearded Andre from last night?

Andre was wearing a fur vest today, looking majestic. Without the troublesome beard, he looked more handsome.

Andre turned the luxurious palace hall into their royal tent in the desert.

Andre stood up and saluted her respectfully, "Miss Su, we meet again."
