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

Su Rou returned home and lay on the couch, but she couldn't fall asleep.

She broke up with Andre...

She couldn’t sleep…

I always feel like something is missing...

Su Rou turned over and sat up from the bed. She put on a cloak and jumped directly onto the wall.

She sniffed. There were few people in Prince Yu's Mansion during the day, and it looked even more desolate at night, with no sign of life at all.

Su Rou shuddered, feeling as desolate as a haunted house.

Based on her memory of her previous visit, Su Rou groped her way to Gong Yu's bedroom.

There were also guards responsible for patrolling the mansion. Su Rou avoided them, jumped off the wall, and sneaked into Gong Yu's house.

The room was dim, and she groped her way to the bed with the help of the moonlight that faintly filtered through the window.

After she confirmed that the person on the bed was Gong Yu, she untied her cloak and lay down beside him.

The cloak she was wearing was also thick, and could be considered a blanket. She didn't feel cold at all when she covered herself with it.

The next second, she felt a warmth and Gong Yu leaned over to her.

He also gave her some of his bedding.

Gong Yu held her in his arms and asked, "Why did you come so late?"

The light was dim, and Su Rou couldn't see Gong Yu's expression, but she could probably guess that Gong Yu's face was very close to her.

Because she felt warm breath on her face.

Su Rou said, "I had a bad conversation with the Northern Barbarian King today. I was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep, so I came to find you to... chat!"

She almost blurted out the idea of sleeping together.

Gong Yu said, "It's freezing outside. You've caught a cold. Next time you want to come over, send someone to let us know in advance. Why not take a carriage?"

Su Rou hummed in frustration...

Gong Yu tucked the quilt in for her and said, "Go to bed early today. We can talk about it tomorrow morning."

Su Rou soon heard the sound of Gong Yu's even breathing.

In the darkness, she opened her eyes and looked at Gong Yu beside her.

it's over...

Can't even sleep anymore.

Su Rou fell into a deep sleep until dawn.

It was not until noon that Su Rou yawned drowsily and sat up.

Gong Yu has been in the room the whole time.

"The matter of the Northern Barbarian King seems to be giving you a lot of trouble. You look haggard after waking up from a nap."

Gong Yu poured her a cup of tea.

Su Rou took it and rinsed her mouth.

"I don't know why I couldn't sleep for half the night yesterday."

Now, even though Su Rou's body was awake, her mind was not awake yet.

Gong Yu said, "I asked the people in the mansion to prepare breakfast. Would you like to eat with me?"

Su Rou threw back the quilt and got out of bed. "I'll just eat a couple of bites, then I have to go back."

There are not many people in the general's mansion, so she always has to go back to keep things under control.

Gong Yu said, "I'll take you back. It's not safe outside right now."

Su Rou realized that there was something behind his words, "What do you mean?"

The yard was peaceful and quiet.

After washing up, Su Rou followed Gong Yu to the cafeteria.

Gong Yu said, "The Great Desert has officially declared war on the Northern Kingdom. There are not many people on the streets now. They are all recruiting soldiers from the Great Desert."

Are they going to kill all the people in the desert?

Su Rou said, "What does the emperor mean? Are you affected?"

If she remembered correctly, the South Country and the Desert were hooking up.

As long as the emperor is not blind or stupid, he will also receive this news.

Gong Yu looked at her, his eyes bright, "Are you concerned about me?"

Su Rou said, "Is it abnormal to care about you? If the emperor gets evidence that the Southern Kingdom and the Desert are colluding, how could you, a proton, escape?"

Gong Yu said, "As long as I stay here and behave myself, there won't be any problems."

That's true.

The emperor couldn't bring his men to Prince Yu's mansion and accuse him of treason.

The food Gong Yu prepared for her was all her favorites.

Su Rou had almost finished eating and was lazily lying on the table picking her teeth.

Gong Yu's gaze fell on the small piece of skin exposed on her wrist.

"You still have the bracelet."

Su Rou sat up and looked at her hands. She wore thicker clothes in winter, and the bracelet on her wrist was exposed for the first time in so many days.

"Do you want to go back?"

As she spoke, she was about to take off the bracelet.

Gong Yu pressed her hand to stop her from taking the next step, "You are really unreasonable. If I give it to you, it is yours. There is no reason to return it."

Su Rou said, "I heard Madam Gong say that this bracelet was for Yu'er's future wife, but she gave it to me. You have the same name as Madam Gong's eldest son, right?"

Gong Yu pulled out the chair next to her and sat down. "Madam Gong originally had an eldest son named Gong Yu, but he died. Madam Gong's mind has been a little crazy since then, and she mistook me for Gong Yu."

Su Rou looked at him, "What's your name?"

Gong Yu glanced at her, and his deep eyes showed a hint of loneliness.

"I am Gong Yu..."

Su Rou frowned slightly. She had never heard of the name of the Gong family's youngest son.

But she already had an answer to Gong Yu's identity in her mind.

Su Rou deliberately asked, "The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom is actually willing to adopt you, a prince, as the son of a great general. If you are the son of a great general, being adopted by the emperor as a prince would be a great honor to the family."

Gong Yu laughed twice but didn't respond to her.

Su Rou stood up and stretched, "I want to go back. Let's go. You can take me home."

When she went out yesterday, it was already the middle of the night and there was hardly anyone on the street.

But now it was broad daylight and there was not a single person to be seen on the street.

Su Rou opened the curtain and said, "It's too empty outside. Even if we are catching people from the desert, there shouldn't be a single person on the street who can't see us."

Gong Yu said, "I don't know where this rumor came from, but Xiaoxi said that the imperial court arrested anyone they saw on the street, especially the strong ones, so the people didn't dare to leave their homes."

Su Rou: “…”

She thought that the appearance of the desert people seemed to be different from that of the northern people at a glance.

It is obvious that someone is deliberately confusing the public behind the scenes.

Su Rou asked, "Who is responsible for the arrest this time?"

Gong Yu said, "The Right Minister and the Left Minister are fully responsible."

When her father was away, the emperor even moved out the left and right prime ministers.

The carriage jolted and Su Rou felt that it seemed to have stopped.

There was a voice outside, "Even if this is His Royal Highness Prince Yu's carriage, please get out and cooperate with this humble official's investigation."

Gong Yu opened the curtain and said, "Okay."

Su Rou was stunned. Even someone of Gong Yu's status had to get out of the car to be questioned?

Su Rou took a quick look and saw that the soldiers outside had set up checkpoints on the road ahead.

The leader was the current left prime minister Shen Yao.

Speaking of which, Shen Changming is still his second brother.

This Shen Yao is the young master of the Xiguang Marquis Mansion. It can be said that the Shen family has some abilities.

I thought the Xiguang Marquis Mansion had reached its end, but then Shen Yao appeared.

The current left prime minister, a position above all others...

but……

Wasn't the Xiguang Marquis Mansion instigated by Gong Yu to rebel a long time ago?
