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

Su Rou observed this and remained calm.

"What does Your Highness Prince Yu want to see me about?"

Gong Yu said, "See if you are okay."

What does he mean by this?

Su Rou said, "Since Prince Yu has seen that I am safe and sound, why are you still staying here?"

Gong Yu said, "Are you going to kick me out now?"

Su Rou didn't mean to chase him away, but Gong Yu came to her whenever he had nothing to do, because he really had nothing to do...

Su Rou shook her head. "I'm leaving the house. If Your Highness wants to stay here, please do so. Just don't let anyone see you appear in my boudoir like a pervert."

Just now, Gong Yu broke in so blatantly, and no one in her house saw him.

After saying that, she took big strides and walked out of the yard. If Gong Yu didn't leave, she would leave on her own.

Before she even stepped through the threshold of the general's mansion, she was stopped by the guards at the door.

"Miss, please go back. The general said that after you return to the mansion, you cannot leave without his permission."

Su Rou's body stiffened, and Gong Yu happened to follow behind her.

"Look, it's not me who's refusing to leave you now, it's your father who won't let you go out."

Su Rou originally planned to go to the scene of the crime of Xiguang Houfu's youngest daughter, but she didn't expect that her father had protected her to such an extent...

Su Rou said, "Father is just worried about my safety. Can I go out with my guards?"

The guard shook his head, "The general said that you are in great danger these days, young lady, so it is best not to leave the house."

Su Rou wanted to talk to Su Wan, but the maid in the mansion told her that Su Wan had just gone out.

Now he could only follow Gong Yu back to the yard.

Gong Yu said, "It's really dangerous outside, you'd better not go out as much as possible."

Judging from the tone of Gong Yu's words, he seemed to know something.

Su Rou pulled him, "What happened? It's a bit strange that my father doesn't let me leave the house. What you said just proves that there seems to be something bad going on against me outside."

Gong Yu glanced at her, then looked away, "Want to know?"

Su Rou nodded, "Yes."

Gong Yu looked at her with a playful expression, seemingly doing it on purpose. "If I don't tell you, you can find out for yourself without even leaving the house."

Su Rou suddenly realized.

Gong Yu was playing tricks on her.

Su Rou leaned on the stone table with her arms and moved closer to him, her bright eyes suddenly staring at him.

She smiled maliciously, "Tomorrow I'll tell everyone in the capital that you climbed over the wall into my yard in the middle of the night just to pursue me. You'll be humiliated."

Gong Yu laughed out loud at her amusement, "Why are you acting like a child? So childish."

Su Rou said, "Since Prince Yu likes me, then we have to see if you dare to face the rumors all over the city."

Gong Yu stood up and extended his hand towards Su Rou. "Although I can't let you go through the main gate, I can take you over the wall. I can add that not only did I sneak into your yard at night, I was also so audacious as to kidnap General Su's only daughter."

Su Rou suddenly realized a problem. Perhaps in Gong Yu's eyes, the Northern Kingdom would eventually be destroyed by him, so he didn't need to care too much about his face in the Northern Kingdom.

After all, Gong Yu's purpose in staying in the Northern Kingdom wasn't to save his own face...

Su Rou slowly stretched out her hand and placed her soft palm on his, "Your Highness Prince Yu is extraordinary, he doesn't even care about his face."

Gong Yu grabbed her waist and jumped over the wall with her. "I've been here a few times and I'm very familiar with your place. If you scold me again, I'll throw you down and see how you get out."

Su Rou shut her mouth. She had never avoided the patrols in the mansion before. She would take advantage of Gong Yu to get out first.

Su Wan didn't ask her out because he was afraid she would be in danger, and also because...

She probably did it because of Xie Yuan.

Su Rou and Gong Yu sat at a roadside vendor's stall, and Gong Yu ordered two bowls of osmanthus tofu.

There was a conversation behind them. Su Rou took a look and saw that they were three villagers.

I think he is a coolie from someone's farm, taking a break here.

"The General's Mansion still has General Su behind it. If the young lady of the General's Mansion didn't rely on having a good father, how could she have rejected the Crown Prince and still be safe and sound?"

"I heard that a few days ago all the noble ladies in the capital went boating on the lake, and that the young lady from the general's mansion was arrogant and domineering."

"They kicked the Crown Prince off the boat. He's said to be recuperating in the palace right now. The Emperor was furious and punished her, imprisoning her in the Dali Temple. It was only after General Su went to the palace every day to plead for her release that she was finally released."

Su Rou calmly picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful of tofu and put it into her mouth.

Gong Yu looked at her and asked, "Why don't you feel angry when you hear these words?"

Su Rou sneered. Why should she be angry about this?

Since ancient times, rumors about the palace among the people were either serious and influential, or they were deliberately spread by someone in the palace.

This is the usual tactic of that coward Xie Yuan. He blames all the mistakes on her when he feels weak.

Rumors about her bad character were spread everywhere just to highlight Xie Yuan's lofty position as the crown prince.

This is not the first time Xie Yuan has done this.

In her previous life, after she agreed to marry Xie Yuan, she thought Xie Yuan would treat her wholeheartedly.

But then what?

During the imperial palace's autumn hunting ceremony, Xie Yuan killed a hunting dog that was presented to the emperor by the Western Regions. Xie Yuan was afraid of being blamed by the emperor, so he said that she was too curious and accidentally killed the hunting dog while playing with it.

The emperor doted on Xie Yuan, and even though he knew she was powerless, he still sided with Xie Yuan.

And because of her father, she was beaten with a few boards. The emperor later explained that he let her suffer the injustice because he did not want to offend the governor of the Western Regions.

A sensible father would not give birth to a beastly son. The emperor and Xie Yuan are just the same kind of people.

She chewed the tofu in her mouth and calmed down her desire to kill Xie Yuan. The sweet taste and the aroma of osmanthus filled her mouth.

Su Rou deliberately raised her voice, "That person just said it, but it was just hearsay. Is there any evidence to prove that it was the young lady from the general's mansion who kicked the prince into the lake?"

This time when Xie Yuan fell into the water, the emperor did not ask her. Perhaps he had already clearly realized Xie Yuan's incompetence.

The emperor had previously asked my father to train Xie Yuan. If the emperor expressed doubts at this time, it would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

"Who are you? What does our after-dinner chat have to do with you?"

Su Rou took another bite of tofu and said, "Chatting after dinner? The badge on your waist is the one you use to enter and leave the palace, right? Since it's a badge from the palace, how could you not recognize me..."

Su Rou glanced over indifferently.

The person who was originally sitting on the bench quickly stood up, turned around and tried to escape.

Su Rou grabbed the bench beneath her and threw it at the man. "This skill is enough to deal with a lackey like you and a villain like Xie Yuan."

The man was hit on the head, and a stream of bright red blood flowed from his head. "You...what do you want to do?!"

Su Rou smiled, "Nothing, just send you back to the palace."

……

"Your Majesty, something has happened. Miss Su is kneeling outside the door, crying uncontrollably. It seems...it seems that she has been hurt by the prince's men."
