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

Su Rou: “…”

She choked for a moment.

This old woman was indeed no ordinary person. She asked her to rescue the execution ground as soon as she opened her mouth.

Su Rou asked, "What did your son do wrong? Why was he arrested? Do you know where he is?"

The old woman said, "He didn't actually do anything. What's more, in today's Northern Kingdom, even if he didn't do anything, he would be inexplicably arrested. He's old, has a wife, and a pair of happy children, living an ordinary life. He should have spent the rest of his life peacefully like this. But for some reason, the people of the Northern Kingdom found out that I was his mother and arrested his entire family of four, just to force them to tell me my whereabouts..."

Can you be arrested if you haven't done anything wrong?

Su Rou didn't believe it.

It was not until later that Su Rou realized that the old woman's words were the absolute truth.

Su Rou stared at the old woman. "So, you're here because you were sold out by your son?"

The old woman shook her head. "No, I showed up on my own initiative. The people from the North Country captured me and I'm still unwilling to let them go. They are innocent. If you help me, I will work for you from now on."

Su Rou said, "Su Rou is unwilling to help you."

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and the loneliness in her eyes was not fake.

Su Rou said, "I don't know any Su Rou. How could a prisoner like me, imprisoned in the Dali Temple awaiting interrogation, know such a spoiled young lady? But I can promise you that after I'm released from prison, I will go to the execution ground to see your son off."

The old woman smiled, "Are you agreeing?!"

Su Rou said, "I didn't admit it."

She felt that it was not impossible to rob the execution ground, which would cause trouble for the Northern Kingdom's royal family.

I just can’t go as Su Rou.

The General's Mansion cannot be implicated by her.

The next day, Su Rou's cage was opened.

"Miss Su, you can go back now. General Su is waiting for you outside the door."

Su Rou opened her eyes drowsily.

Can I go back now?

Su Rou suddenly woke up and asked, "Is the case investigated?"

The person who opened the door didn't say anything.

Su Rou got up from the ground and looked at the old woman.

The old woman stood at the door and looked at her eagerly, and all her words seemed to turn into her eyes.

Su Rou glanced at the other people who were imprisoned with the old woman. "Before I see you next time, you'd better live well. If you die, the deal you made with me will be considered unfulfilled. I will personally kill your son and his entire family."

The fresh air rushed into her heart and she stretched out in the sunshine.

It has been a long time since Su Rou had a serious look at the outside world.

The people from the Dali Temple escorted her down the stairs, and the carriage from the general's mansion stopped quietly at the door.

Su Rou came out, and Su Wan got out of the carriage. He stood in front of Su Rou, stretched out his hand and took Su Rou into his arms, "A Rou!"

Su Rou said, "Father, you look haggard these past few days."

Su Wan protected her behind him and glared fiercely at the person who sent her out.

"Did the people inside bully you?"

Su Rou waved her hands, "They didn't bully me. Yesterday, someone pretended to be someone from the General's Mansion and went in to kill me. The Dali Temple even stepped in to help me deal with it."

Su Wan was shocked. "What?! Someone wants to kill you?! Are the people from the Dali Temple just for free?! They let them in without checking their identities. Is Arou hurt? Daddy will take you to the palace today to file a complaint against them."

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, it seemed a little inappropriate for my father to stand at the gate of the Dali Temple and scold the people there...

Su Rou said, "They are only responsible for investigating the case... In terms of fighting power, isn't this asking too much?"

Wait, what she said sounded no different from her father's scolding.

"Don't worry, General Su. Miss Su didn't lose a single hair here with us. She even beat our prisoners inside. Miss Su's suspicion has been cleared. The Shaoqing asked me to pass on a message to General Su. You and Miss Su are in the mansion. Be careful."

Su Wan looked puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Su Rou's eyes flickered. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple had indeed found out something. This was a reminder to her father that there were spies in the mansion, and they wanted to harm her and her.

Su Rou said, "Thank you, sir. Father, let's go back first."

Regarding the youngest daughter of Marquis Xiguang, she got some useful information while in the prison of Dali Temple.

The other party was coming for her.

In addition, since we know that she was imprisoned in the Dali Temple, she must not be an ordinary person.

Is he someone from the palace?

Could it be that Xie Yuan, that loser, was displeased with her and sent someone to kill her?

Su Rou was amused by her own idea. A loser like Xie Yuan would not have such a brain.

On the way back, Su Rou looked at the street outside the carriage and was lost in thought.

"Father, do you know where the Ministry of Justice executes criminals?"

Su Wan said, "On the outskirts of the city, why are you asking this?"

Su Rou overheard the prisoners talking about this matter by chance, and used her curiosity as an excuse to get away with it.

The first thing Su Rou did when she returned home was to take off her clothes and take a bath.

The maid in the mansion brought her hot water, and she soaked in the wooden tub to relieve her fatigue.

She hasn't had a good time washing up these days. Although the Dali Temple can provide her with these things, she can't really think of herself as someone who is just there for fun.

"Creaky--" Su Rou heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and thought that it was the maid in the mansion bringing hot water again.

"I've had enough of the bath and am planning to get out. No need to send hot water. I'll go to the palace's big bath tomorrow."

There was no movement behind her, and Su Rou realized something was wrong.

She stood up quickly, but was grabbed by the neck by a hand.

Gong Yu leaned against the wooden barrel and said, "I heard you were released, so I came to take a look."

Su Rou was pressed against the wooden barrel, not daring to move. If she moved a little, the petals floating on the water would float away.

She didn't want to be exposed and seen by Gong Yu!

Gong Yu didn't use much strength, he probably just wanted to scare her.

Su Rou raised the corner of her mouth, "Your Highness Prince Yu, are you doing your old job again? I have no clothes on. If I shout and call for help now, my father might chop you up right away and place your body in the court tomorrow."

Gong Yu released Su Rou's neck and turned his back to her. "I'm not the scoundrel you think I am."

Su Rou saw him with his hands behind his back and suddenly wanted to tease him.

Isn't Gong Yu a general who only knows how to fight? He knows nothing about love between men and women, and he's so innocent...

"Splash" Su Rou supported the wooden barrel with both hands and stood up directly from the barrel.

There were traces of water on her fair skin. She reached out and tugged at Gong Yu's clothes. "Prince Yu, since you're here, I have to do my duty as a host and come in and take a shower with you."

She couldn't see Gong Yu's face, but she could clearly see that his ears were red.

Gong Yu said, "You!"

Seeing that he didn't dare to move, Su Rou boldly opened her arms and hugged him directly.

"what happened?"

Gong Yu broke free from Su Rou's hand and rushed out the door quickly, "I'll wait for you outside! Come out after you're done washing."

Su Rou looked in the direction where Gong Yu left, leaning leisurely in the wooden barrel and smiling.

The innocent Prince Yu, even with this, still wanted to tease her.

Su Rou changed her clothes and walked out of the yard with her hair loose.

There was a pavilion in her yard, and when she came out, she saw Gong Yu sitting under the pavilion.

Su Rou walked forward and patted Gong Yu's left shoulder. Gong Yu turned around and found that there was no one on his left, so he looked to the right.

Their eyes met, their warm breaths close at hand.

Gong Yu finally calmed down.

My ears are red again...
