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

The old woman nodded, agreeing with her words.

Su Rou leaned back in her chair and raised her hand, "Who came up with the antidote recipe?"

Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.

Su Rou smiled faintly, "Hand the person over, and the rest of you can leave."

Someone stood up and said, "We saved General Su, and you're repaying kindness with hatred! Aren't you afraid that everyone in the Imperial Hospital will report you to the Emperor?"

Su Rou remained unmoved. "Ah? Are you threatening me? Or do you simply want to protect that person? Let me be frank, my father's poisoning was not an accident. Just based on this fact, even if I execute you on the spot, the emperor will not hold me accountable. But then again, why would a mere imperial physician suddenly attack my father? I might think about this matter..."

Su Rou secretly watched the changes in expression of each of them.

What reason did a royal doctor have to attack the great General Su? My father was a simple and honest man, and he would never bully his own people. They had no reason, and the only possibility was that this was ordered by the emperor...

Su Rou's eyes dimmed, "If you don't hand them over, then kill them all."

The old woman said, "I'm afraid the emperor will blame you for making such a big fuss."

Su Rou snorted coldly, "Earlier, when I met the Third Princess on the city wall, I planned to die together with her. The Emperor didn't say anything. He killed the traitor who murdered my father. Isn't this just what he should do?"

A dagger slipped from Su Rou's sleeve, and the imperial doctors gathered together moved back twice.

"Su... Captain Su, this recipe was something we worked out together. It wasn't the person you mentioned. Moreover, if someone wanted to poison General Su, they would have to put it in the medicine he drinks every day, right? We outsiders still understand the principle of staying out of the backyard, so the only person who has the chance to poison is the person next to you!"

Su Rou said, "Do you want her to eat for nothing? If she wanted to poison someone, she wouldn't do it in such a non-domineering way."

She had seen it before in the prison. The poison powder casually sprinkled by the old woman could quickly corrode people beyond recognition. The poison that her father was poisoned with was not the old woman's style...

Su Rou rushed forward with the dagger tightly grasped, and everyone instantly trembled with fear.

"Dang" But who knew that the next second, a big machete appeared above the heads of the doctors.

The dagger in Su Rou's hand was bounced away.

Su Wan's face turned pale. "Arou, don't do anything. Isn't Dad fine now?"

Su Rou's arms were numb from the shock.

She took two steps back, "Dad! You're awake."

Su Wan put down the machete in his hand and covered his abdomen with his other hand. "It's okay, it's okay. Tell them to go back first."

Su Rou pushed aside the imperial doctors and helped Su Wan sit down beside the bed.

Her voice was soft and sticky. "If Dad doesn't let me kill him, then I won't kill him."

Su Rou turned her head fiercely and said, "I'll let you go. You can leave now."

It took the imperial doctors a long time to come back to their senses and then they left the room in a hurry.

Su Rou said, "Dad, are you feeling better?"

Su Wan took a deep breath and lay back on the bed until his breathing stabilized.

"Dad is fine. I was afraid you would really attack them, so I blocked you. Does your arm hurt, Rou?"

Su Rou shook her head. "Father, I have something I'm not sure if I should ask. Why are you stopping me? Do you know who poisoned me?"

Su Wan's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment, and he turned away and disappeared quickly, "Arou...you don't have to continue investigating this matter, lest you make others unhappy."

But Su Rou saw it.

When Su Wan said this, and saw the sadness in his eyes, she realized that this matter might really be related to the emperor...

The reason why her father didn't let her continue investigating was because he was worried that it would displease the emperor...

Su Rou said, "Okay, whatever Father says is what it is. I'll ask my friend to come over and take your pulse again and check your body to make sure they haven't put anything in the antidote that shouldn't be put in."

Su Rou guessed the reason for the incident pretty close...

The old woman stepped forward and leaned over the edge of the bed. "General Su... General Su, just put your hands beside you."

The old woman's voice trembled as she spoke.

Su Rou said, "Why are you so nervous?"

The old woman said, "Nothing... nothing, it's just that General Su is so righteous that I can't bear to look him in the face."

Oh...it turns out that the old woman is a wanted criminal and feels guilty in front of my father...

She smiled and said, "Dad, let me introduce you. This is my friend. She helped sew up the big gash on your stomach. She knows some medical skills and helped me a lot."

Su Wan's eyes fell directly on the old woman's face, "Oh... Father didn't know you had such a wide circle of friends. I thought you were just getting along better with the young lady from the Yuan family."

Su Wan was referring to the old woman's age.

Su Rou said, "She's not a bad person, so I made a friend of hers."

The old woman blushed at her praise, but it was not noticeable because of her veil.

The old woman withdrew her hand and said, "The antidote that General Su drank is fine."

Su Rou said, "That's fine, thank goodness they had foresight."

Su Wan seemed worried and said, "Arou, you really don't need to continue investigating anything. Dad is awake now, isn't he okay?"

Su Rou nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, I will listen to what Dad says."

Su Wan frowned slightly, "You agreed so readily, but Dad doesn't believe it at all."

Su Rou did not lie, because she had a rough idea of the situation. Her father knew that the person behind the poison was the emperor, so he did not let her continue the investigation.

Father now... has also realized that the emperor has actually been wary of their general's mansion from the beginning. Their family can no longer continue to work so hard for the emperor, right?

Su Rou said, "Then what should I do? If my father doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

The only thing she promised was not to continue the investigation.

I didn't say that she couldn't retaliate.

So Su Rou thought she was right and Su Wan shouldn't think that way about her.

Su Rou asked the maid to stay beside Su Wan's bed and followed the old woman out of the room.

It was getting dark outside.

Su Rou asked the maid to make tea, and sat with the old woman under the pavilion in her yard to drink tea.

Su Rou pushed a plate of cakes toward the old woman and said, "Eat this. It's delicious."

The old woman pinched a piece, her face full of confusion. "Miss, are you really planning to do nothing? Not continue the investigation?"

Su Rou stuffed a piece into her mouth and chewed it with her cheeks puffed up.

"I have other plans." Su Rou didn't intend to explain it in detail to the old woman, fearing that it would make her want to attack the emperor even more.

Her second brother was seriously injured on the battlefield because he couldn't wait for support, and her father was seriously injured and poisoned. Sooner or later, she will slowly settle these accounts with the emperor.

Nowadays, when you live under someone's roof, you have to learn to keep your head down and hide.

The old woman took a bite and said, "Well...what are you going to do with that Northern Barbarian King?"

Su Rou said, "I've already decided who to send him back to the desert. You go back tonight, and I'll let you know when to leave."

The old woman nodded and said, "Okay, can I take this cake back?"

Su Rou said, "I'll ask the kitchen to make you some fresh ones, and you can leave two for me."

She bit a new piece in her mouth and put another one in her pocket and wrapped it carefully in a handkerchief.

The old woman ate and took away everything and went back with a great harvest.

Su Rou walked out of the general's mansion gate, and the maid in the mansion called her from behind.

"Miss, you didn't have dinner and now you want to go out?"

Su Rou chewed the lamb in her mouth and said, "I'm going to Prince Yu's mansion to have a meal."

The gates of Prince Yu's mansion are locked. Could he be asleep at this hour?

Su Surou climbed over the wall and happened to meet the eyes of a masked man who was crawling on the wall.

The masked man attacked Su Rou almost instantly.

She dodged away in confusion, "Who are you?"

Gong Yu's voice came from under the wall.

"stop."

The masked man was stunned, then jumped off the wall and knelt on one knee in front of Gong Yu.

Su Rou suddenly realized that this man was Gong Yu's subordinate.

She sat down on the wall and said, "He hit me, help me teach him a lesson!"

The masked man finally spoke, "I...I didn't hit him."

Su Rou looked aggrieved, "You see, he just wanted to hit me."

The masked man explained, "The girl appeared so suddenly just now that I reacted subconsciously..."

The moon was hanging high in the sky, and the bright moonlight fell on Gong Yu.

He walked to the foot of the wall and opened his arms to Su Rou who was sitting on the top of the wall. "What's your hobby? Sitting on the wall and talking? Come down, I'll pick you up."
