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

Su Rou went back. She left very decisively and didn't even give Gong Yu a chance to ask him to stay.

Su Rou returned home and took off all her clothes, leaving only her underwear.

Su Chi's voice came from outside the yard. Su Rou quickened her movements, threw the clothes she took off to the innermost part of the bed, lay on the bed, and spread out the quilt to cover herself.

She had already done all the superficial work when her door was pushed open.

The maid turned around and said to Su Chi outside the door, "Third Master, the young lady has been in the room."

Su Chi said, "Awake or asleep."

The maid said, "He's asleep."

Su Chi waved his hand, "Come out."

After the maid left, Su Rou opened her eyes in the darkness.

Although it was a little unbelievable, she couldn't figure out what the third brother was doing tonight...

Could it be that they specifically wanted to catch her because she was not at home at night?

She remembered what Su Chi said to her when she came back from Gong Yu. Sure enough, her third brother must have suspected her.

Su Rou sat up. She had already reached marriage age, so what did it matter if she didn't come home at night?

Su Rou was not sleepy and was still very energetic. The old woman was caught by Liu Bai tonight, and she had to find out which bastard sold the information secretly.

No one knew about this incident. The only person present at the time was Andre.

Could it be Andre? Unlikely.

If it was really Andre, he had no reason to do this. Or maybe he was followed by someone when he was riding away from the mansion, and she didn't notice him all the way.

Who has such amazing speed?

Su Rou tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep.

The weather is getting hotter. Fortunately, Su Wan's injuries have gradually recovered. Otherwise, when the weather is hot, the wounds on his body will attract mosquitoes and easily become inflamed.

Su Rou was recruited into the palace that day.

The emperor sat condescendingly on the dragon throne. "There have been some rumors in the palace recently. Although I believe you, I still want to ask for your opinion..."

Su Rou knew that the emperor was talking about her robbing the execution ground and letting Andre go.

This was her idea.

But it wasn't her who did it. She had to do it herself. Liu Bai and the soldiers guarding the city gate that night would not just be knocked unconscious.

Su Rou said, "Your Majesty, what is the matter?"

Since we are going to act, we have to do it fully.

When the emperor looked at her, his expression was choked and he didn't know how to start.

The emperor said, "Someone in the palace has been saying these days that you appeared at the execution ground to rescue the Northern Barbarian King, but to this day the Northern Barbarian King's whereabouts have not been found."

There was a trap in the emperor's words.

Su Rou said, "I also witnessed the execution of the Northern Barbarian King that day, but he escaped and I didn't catch up. The executioner at the time can testify for me that I was sitting in his position the entire time and did nothing else. Your Majesty, the person who spread the rumor has ill intentions and must be investigated."

Su Rou sneered inwardly. The emperor must have asked the executioner for help before calling her into the palace...

There were so many people in the audience at the time, and countless eyes were staring at her, some of them were witnesses.

Su Rou frowned, pretending to be aggrieved. "Your Majesty, you can't doubt me just because I took the position of the executioner, right? I was just there to watch the fun, but the executioner insisted that I take the position, so how could I not give him face?"

The emperor nodded. "Alright, I'm just asking you about the general situation. Has Su Wan's injury improved in the past few days?"

Su Rou said, "My father is fine, but he can't get out of bed for the time being. But since the emperor cares so much about my father, he must have heard about the poisoning he suffered a while ago, right?"

The emperor said, "I heard from the Imperial Physician that it has been solved, hasn't it?"

Su Rou said, "Based on my deduction, I suspect it might have been done by someone in the palace. Does the emperor dislike our general's mansion?"

The emperor was stunned, and immediately understood what she meant, "It's not me."

Su Rou stared straight at the emperor, "Then who do you think it is, Your Majesty?"

The emperor sighed, somewhat helplessly, "I know you are blaming me. I can promise to investigate this matter."

Su Rou shook her head, "No need. It's good enough for me to know that the emperor has this intention."

Su Rou left the palace hall. The eunuch beside her hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, Captain Su has come here with legitimate reasons to force the emperor to abdicate..."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "As I say, investigate who is behind the poisoning of Su Wan."

Eunuch Chang was stunned, obviously surprised by the emperor's words.

"But...what if it really is someone from the palace?"

The emperor said, "Drag him out and behead him. The important thing is to keep Su Rou stable."

Su Rou is a lunatic, and what she said just now was a warning to him.

The people in the General's Mansion have always been Su Rou's bottom line. They had previously captured her mother, Su Shi, and had made such a big scene to kidnap the Third Princess. If something went wrong with Su Wan...

The emperor was really afraid that Su Rou would go crazy again.

Now he could no longer look down on Su Rou. She was no longer some pampered daughter of a general's mansion. She was a woman who could single-handedly kill all the desert people in the town...

Su Rou stretched and felt very sleepy. The emperor had sent someone to invite her into the palace early in the morning, so she had better go back to her room and take a nap.

However, as the weather has been getting hotter these days, you can see a lot of vendors selling osmanthus tofu on the streets.

Su Rou said, "Stop the carriage ahead. I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus tofu. Please buy me two portions to take back to the mansion."

The coachman stopped the carriage and said, "Miss, I will go and buy it for you right away."

Su Rou waved her hand, signaling him to go quickly and come back soon. The sun was a little strong outside and she didn't want to go out in the sun.

A man on horseback stopped outside her carriage.

The other party directly lifted the curtain and looked inside.

Su Rou raised her eyes and saw that it was Prince Li. "Your Highness Prince Li is so well-educated. He just lifted the carriage curtain of a young lady like me."

King Li released his hand and bowed politely again, "Miss Su, would you please come out and talk?"

Su Rou lifted the curtain from inside and said, "That's more or less the same. What advice does Your Highness Prince Li have?"

King Li said, "I just saw the general's carriage on the roadside. I thought it was someone else from your mansion. I hope you won't mind."

Su Rou waved her hand, "You say."

He's already flirted, what's the point of talking about these things now...

King Li said, "Young lady, you just came out of the palace today. If you are free, could I invite you to have lunch with me at the restaurant?"

Su Rou waved her hand, "I'm tired today and don't want to go out, but you can go to our general's mansion for lunch. My second and third brothers should be ready for lunch by this time."

King Li said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

Su Rou frowned. What? This person actually agreed so easily?

Could it be that from the very beginning, you were thinking of eating at their general's mansion?

The coachman bought some tofu and drove the carriage back to the general's mansion.

Su Rou handed the tofu to the maid in the mansion, "Put this on a plate for me and send it to my room. Put another on a plate and send it to my father."

King Li interrupted at this time, "Didn't General Su say a few days ago that he only suffered a minor injury and hasn't recovered yet?"

Su Rou looked over with disgust, "My father is in good health, he's just still recuperating. I won't let him see anyone until he's fully recovered."

The other party should be able to understand this, it was her idea that Dad didn't go to court or meet guests.

King Li said, "I mean no offense, but as General Su is a great warrior of our Northern Kingdom, I can't help but be a little worried about his condition."

Su Rou ignored him and walked over the threshold to Su Feng and Su Chi in the dining hall, saying, "His Royal Highness Prince Li is coming to our house for dinner. Second and third brothers, please give him an extra pair of chopsticks."

The two people who were eating with their heads down looked up and looked outside the door.

Su Feng said, "Why do you smell so sweet? Did you cook outside just now? Why didn't you bring your second brother with you?"

Su Rou said, "It's not open yet. I bought two servings of sweet-scented osmanthus tofu. Second brother and third brother don't like sweet food, so why are you competing with me for it..."

Su Feng knew that the other portion was for her father, so he didn't say anything.

Su Feng pulled out a stool and warmly invited King Li to come and sit down.

Su Rou handed King Li to them and turned back to the yard.

On the tree-lined path, Su Rou saw several maids carrying raw meat, not knowing where they were going.

She called out to them, "Is this thing supposed to be sent to the kitchen? It looks so fresh, the veins are still beating."

The maid saluted and said, "Miss, this is freshly slaughtered mutton. We need to send it to the backyard to feed the falcon."

Su Rou then remembered that the falcon whose wings were injured was still being kept in the backyard.

Su Rou said, "Brother is on his way back, so let's keep this good meat until he comes back. Just feed the falcon enough to keep it from starving."

That falcon Su Rou always felt that it had some greater use.
