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

Su Chong said, "If you want to go and have fun, we can go together as a family."

Su Rou smiled and didn't continue with Su Chong's next words.

It took half an hour for the imperial physician to bandage Su Chong's wound.

Su Rou watched the doctor leave and brought up what she had just said to Su Chong. "Brother, the relationship is unstable right now. If anything happens, it's not appropriate for the wife in the mansion to stay here any longer. So I hope you can take good care of them and get them out safely. I bought a courtyard in the South Country and asked Meng and my mother to live there first. It's not bad at all."

Su Chong said, "I...can I come back?"

He asked this question carefully.

Su Rou sneered, "So you didn't want to leave just now because you thought I wouldn't let you go and never come back? You can come back if you want to. Besides, you still have an official position, so it's not appropriate for you to be away for too long."

Su Chong asked, "What about Sanniang? Are you planning to take her with you?"

Su Rou shook her head. "The Third Madam Ji cannot leave. If all three ladies are left in the capital, it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor. So I found an excuse to send them to recuperate."

Su Chong said, "I think the emperor won't refuse, but the wars are so frequent now. If you say it now, it will only make the emperor angry. Otherwise... let's wait a while."

Su Rou nodded, "There's no rush for this matter. We need to take our time and think about it."

Su Rou's eyes swept across Su Chong's chest. Her elder brother's injuries had not yet recovered, and she had to ensure the safety of everyone in the general's mansion.

When Gong Yu conquers the Northern Kingdom, their family relocation will inevitably attract too much attention.

And there must be a lot of refugees on the road at that time...

It’s better to secretly move some of it over in advance.

One night seven days later, news of war came from the border again, and the border guarded by Su Feng was about to be lost.

The desert invades frequently, and we must conquer it with all our might. Even if the northern country has a strong military, it cannot withstand such frequent invasions from the desert.

Anyone would feel tired, let alone a soldier fighting to the death on the battlefield?

The emperor summoned all the ministers in the court overnight, and Su Rou also entered the palace overnight.

The palace hall was brightly lit, and all civil and military officials gathered together.

The emperor's face was solemn. "According to the battle situation reported back from the border, they are using human wave tactics this time, intending to wear down our forces. The chief general sent by the desert this time, Su Chi, said in the letter that he is the youngest son of the barbarian king of the southern desert. This boy became famous in a battle in the desert when he was young. I have heard of him. The people of the desert praise him as a person who can defeat thousands of troops alone. It was he who fought Su Wan on the battlefield a while ago and used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to lure Su Wan away. Su Wan's whereabouts are still unknown. Do you have any suggestions?"

Su Rou, who was standing on the side of the general, frowned slightly. Her father had been through hundreds of battles, how could he fall into the trap so easily?

Su Rou began to doubt the letter from her third brother in the emperor's hand.

Right Prime Minister Gu Huaqing stepped forward and said, "I believe that Da Mo only wants Su Wan's daughter Su Rou. As long as Su Rou is handed over..."

Su Rou's brows furrowed even tighter. "I don't mind, but if you hand me over like this, wouldn't that be a sign of weakness to the desert? The Right Prime Minister is so astute, he should have figured this out, right? Our General's Mansion has never offended the Right Prime Minister before. What is your intention in saying this in public?"

Gu Huaqing choked, "You... stop talking nonsense."

Su Rou shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm just following your words, sir."

The Right Prime Minister was speechless after what she said.

There were a few civil servants who thought that what the Right Prime Minister said made sense, but the majority of them thought that Su Rou could not be handed over so easily.

The emperor said, "The Northern Kingdom has always had a strong military force. We are not afraid of them provoking a war. Su Rou cannot be surrendered. Do your other ministers have any other plans?"

Su Rou crossed her arms, and the emperor's eyes had already swept over her several times.

She knew what the emperor was thinking.

I wanted to wait for her to volunteer to go to the border for support. After all, given her personality, she would definitely do something impulsive like that.

If my father didn't come, and my second and third brothers died on the battlefield, the general's position in the court would be easily shaken in the future.

Su Rou curled up the corners of her mouth slightly, a smile on her face. "Since the Right Prime Minister is a master of martial arts, why not ask him to lead the troops to support my third brother?"

The emperor frowned, and his expression really looked like he was questioning why she could say such a thing.

The emperor glanced sideways.

Unexpectedly, the Right Prime Minister became anxious.

"Do you want me to die on the battlefield? My duty is to protect the emperor!"

Su Rou was still as calm and composed as ever. "Sir Right Prime Minister, as the Prime Minister of the Emperor, don't you want to fight for the Emperor? It turns out that you were just deceiving the Emperor... Tsk tsk, you only know how to put on a show."

Even if she went to lead troops to provide support, it would not be her turn as a seventh-rank captain.

There are so many military generals in the court.

Su Rou deliberately embarrassed You Xiang and the others.

The Right Prime Minister was embarrassed and said, "Su Rou, as the only female general in our dynasty, aren't you willing to lead the troops to support the border? Can you bear to see the people at the border suffer the flames of war? What's more, General Su is your father! You are not in a hurry at all and are still standing here making sarcastic remarks!"

Su Rou said, "Look, you're just being impatient. You keep shirking responsibility because you don't want to fight for the emperor."

She is not in a hurry, so why should the Right Prime Minister be in a hurry?

Su Rou knew that the emperor and the right prime minister had been getting a little close recently.

She thought that today's incident was probably planned in advance by the emperor and the right prime minister, who wanted to deliberately provoke her to lead troops to the border.

The only one left in the general's mansion was the injured Su Chong, who was isolated and helpless.

Su Rou continued, "My father is General Su, so what does it have to do with you? As his daughter, I am not worried. I believe my father will be able to return safely. Why is the Right Prime Minister so anxious? Do you want to adopt him as our son? But it's a pity that all my three older brothers have higher official positions than you. Even if you were adopted by my father, you wouldn't be able to reach the threshold."

The father of the right prime minister Gu Huaqing was the Yinqing Guanglu doctor of the current dynasty. When Su Rou said this, she was also scolding the Yinqing Guanglu doctor.

Gu Huaqing wanted to say something, "You..."

The emperor interrupted, "The Right Prime Minister has never been on the battlefield. If he goes, he will die in vain. Does Captain Su have any other recommendations?"

Su Rou took a step aside and said, "All the civil and military officials in the court are here. If the emperor wants to send troops for support, what's the point of asking me?"

If the emperor were to ask her to lead the troops now, others would surely be able to sense the emperor's original intention.

After Su Rou said this, the emperor naturally would no longer have such thoughts.

But the question of who will lead the troops to support remains unresolved...

Su Wan is not suitable, and choosing anyone else would make the emperor hesitate...
