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

The old man had a hunched back and wore a mask on his face, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

"Major General Su is indeed very discerning. However, the Major General will not kill me. After all, I was the one who cured the poison of another Major General Su."

Su Chi frowned, "If you can't explain your identity clearly, you won't be able to leave this room today."

The old man said, "The person who asked me to come to your rescue said that I cannot reveal your identity. I hope General Su will not embarrass you."

Su Chi frowned. Was he entrusted by someone?

He looked at Su Feng lying on the bed. Although the second brother's poison had indeed been cured, he still needed to investigate further to see if this person had any ulterior motives.

Su Chi said, "I'll have someone take you downstairs to rest for a while, but don't try to play any tricks!"

The old man bowed slightly and said, "Don't worry, General Su."

The old man was taken away, and only Su Feng and Su Chi were left in the room.

Su Feng reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes. "Don't look so sad. Just ask someone to keep a closer eye on you."

Su Chi said, "The soldiers from the desert haven't completely retreated yet. I plan to lead a night attack tonight. You stay inside the wall."

Su Feng said, "That's too dangerous. If something happens to you, we'll really be left with nowhere to go."

Su Chi said, "But you have to take a risk."

……

Su Rou yawned. Although she went to bed early last night, she still felt very tired today.

You won’t feel weak these days, right?

Su Rou sat by the small pond in the mansion, eating cakes, and glanced at the third princess who was being escorted up by soldiers not far away.

Su Rou's eyes were calm. "Have you slept well in our house these past few days?"

The third princess raised her head, her hair disheveled, her face, without any makeup, her originally fair and tender face had become much rougher...

These days, there is no one to serve them in their house like in the palace.

The Third Princess glared at Su Rou fiercely, "Bah! Why are you pretending? My father and those behind the scenes will not let you go!"

Su Rou picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. "I can give you a chance. As long as you give up my third brother's marriage, I will send you back to the palace."

The three princesses did not know that the queen had fallen.

In fact, Su Rou was a little envious of the third princess's background.

Although the empress was not the emperor's first wife when he was still the crown prince, she was able to sit in this position with the help of her mother's family. The third princess was favored by the emperor since she was born, and she was the daughter of the empress, so naturally she would marry a good man in the future.

but……

It’s a pity to come and provoke the General’s Mansion.

The third princess said, "I will never marry into your general's mansion again! Su Rou, you are a lunatic! Su Chi is definitely not much better! The whole family is crazy!"

Su Rou narrowed her eyes, took two steps forward and grabbed the third princess's jaw.

"Since you knew we were crazy, you shouldn't have come to provoke us. The Censorate has already collected evidence and handed it over to the Emperor. The Empress has now been imprisoned and exiled to the border. If that were all, you might have simply fallen from favor, but she was also demoted to a commoner. You, the once most beloved princess, must also be implicated..."

After what happened to the Queen, the marriage between the Third Princess and her Third Brother naturally became invalid.

If the emperor still wants the third brother to marry the third princess, then he must have other plans.

Su Rou has to make preparations for both scenarios.

The third princess pounced on Su Rou like a madman, but although both of them were women, the difference in strength was huge.

The third princess screamed heartbreakingly, "I will kill you! Su Rou! You will not die a good death!!"

Su Rou grabbed the third princess with one hand and threw her to the guard.

"You are the ones who deserve a bad death. Your mother framed my mother. I didn't do anything to you because I saw that you did nothing wrong."

She did not transfer the queen's anger to the third princess.

There is a difference between right and wrong.

She understands this.

The guards took the third princess away.

Su Rou glanced at the pastry on the table that had been bitten several times, then sat back down quietly and finished eating.

The guards sent the third princess back to the palace, but they did not go in. They just put her down in front of the palace gate and left.

When the queen fell, the harem was the first to fall into chaos.

Su Rou had some free time today, so she went to see the imperial physician to change Su Chong's medicine.

As soon as Su Rou entered the room, the imperial physician, who had been orderly, became flustered.

He didn't even remove the old white cloth and poured the new medicine directly on it.

The imperial physician quickly apologized to Su Rou, "I was distracted, please don't blame me, young lady or the general..."

Su Rou frowned slightly, "Why are you so nervous? Is the medicine poisoned?"

Unexpectedly, the imperial physician shuddered again, and the medicine bottle in his hand fell to the ground and broke.

The medicine powder inside fell to the ground, creating a small layer of dust.

The doctor knelt down quickly and stuffed a handful of powder into his mouth. "It's not poisoned, so you can take it."

Su Rou: “…”

Is she some terrible plague goddess?

At this time, Su Chong, who was shirtless, said, "Little sister, what you've done recently has caused quite a panic. You said you came in so suddenly, how could the imperial physician not feel pressured?"

Su Rou sat on the chair with her legs crossed. "What's the pressure? I won't eat anyone."

Su Chong smiled helplessly, "But you can scare someone to death..."

Su Rou smiled and said, "He's so nervous, maybe he did something bad, what does it have to do with me!"

The imperial physician knelt on the ground to collect the medicine powder, and then took out another bottle from the box he brought.

The imperial physician also poured out a little and put it in his mouth, "Young General, I took a bite, it's not poisonous, I'll apply medicine for you..."

Su Chong said, "Don't be afraid. My little sister is just a little willful. She's not a bad person. She's very gentle, well-educated and polite."

The imperial physician echoed "yes" twice, but Su Rou looked at his expression and felt that he did not seem to agree with what his elder brother said.

The Queen's matter was over, but the two ladies in the palace were still somewhat worrying.

Su Rou said, "Brother, do you want to go to the South Country? Meng and my mother are not in good mental condition. Perhaps you can go out with them for a walk?"

Su Rou asked this question suddenly, which seemed very abrupt.

Su Chong was stunned for a moment. "Why do you suddenly want me to accompany them out for fun? Are you trying to kick us out? At this critical moment, Daddy hasn't come back yet, so I certainly can't leave you alone in the capital to go out and play."

Su Rou glanced at the imperial physician and didn't say anything. There were people around, so it was not appropriate to tell him her purpose.

Su Rou said, "The last time I went to the South, I saw the beautiful scenery there, so I thought that asking the two ladies to go there for a couple of days might help them relax. It's not a problem for me to go with them, but the emperor probably won't let me go just like that now..."
