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

From beginning to end, Su Rou remained silent until she walked out of the palace.

Liu Bai came over and asked, "Arou, can you come over and talk to me?"

Su Rou said, "Okay."

Liu Bai said, "I heard recently from people in the mansion that you were transporting some of the mansion's money to the Southern Kingdom. What does that mean?"

Su Rou knew that this matter would be noticed by others sooner or later, but she didn't expect that the first person to come and ask her about it would be Liu Bai.

She had already thought of a response. "Uncle, you don't know, but after the Second Madam disappeared, my mother was left alone in the Southern Kingdom. I was worried that she wouldn't have much money with her. So I asked someone to send some money over there, worried that she wouldn't have enough to eat or wear. Could this be my problem too?"

Liu Bai said, "That's not the case. It's just that none of the people you sent out have returned. Everyone in the military camp is wondering if you're trying to take advantage of this opportunity to defect to the Southern Kingdom...and then build another general's mansion in the Southern Kingdom."

Su Rou smiled innocently. Needless to say, she did have this plan, but she had already carefully sent someone to transport it, how could anyone notice it...

It seems that I have to think of other ways in the future.

Liu Bai came over to ask her and gave her a reminder.

Su Rou said, "Uncle, could you please tell me who said that?"

Liu Bai was stunned. "I only heard it from the people in the military camp..."

Hearing his unreasonable tone, Su Rou did not continue to ask.

Su Rou smiled gently, "Uncle, if you hear such words again next time, take the person directly to the General's Mansion. If the accusation of treason against me gets to the ears of the Emperor, it will be very bad."

Liu Bai responded.

Su Rou returned to the general's mansion and without even taking a break, she took people to the warehouse to check the money in the general's mansion.

The General's Mansion has been favored by the Emperor over the years, and since she just celebrated her birthday, the storehouse was suddenly filled with treasures.

Su Rou said, "But the birthday gift I received was pawned at a shop and exchanged for silver or gold bars."

The maid following behind was stunned for a moment, "Miss, are you sure? Are you going to throw away so many things?"

Su Rou raised her hand and waved it twice, "As long as the price is right, I'll take it."

If the North and the South go to war, all these things cannot be taken away at once and can only be exchanged for silver to spend.

After all, silver and gold are common currencies among countries.

The maid obediently responded, "But Miss, if we throw all these things away at once, how will we explain this to the General and his wife..."

Su Rou said, "Just tell them the truth."

She treated her things as her own, what else could her father and Ji say?

The maid had no choice but to do as she was told, "Yes, Miss."

Su Rou glanced at the box in the corner, opened the lid, and saw a heavy layer of gold inside. She picked up a piece from the top, and there was also gold underneath.

If such a box were solid, it would be very heavy.

Su Rou thought that if such a box of gold was transported to the Southern Kingdom so openly, it would probably be searched by the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Su Rou said, "By the way, how is Ying Falcon's injury? I want to write to Yuan Wen, and I wonder how my mother and Yuan Wen are doing."

The maid said, "If you want to use a falcon, you can ask the trainer. It has been retrained recently and should be fine."

Su Rou threw the gold ingot in her hand back into the box and said, "Find the animal trainer."

Su Rou asked about the general situation, then wrote a letter and tied it to the falcon's leg.

This thing trained by the desert people is really magical. It can fly freely throughout the desert and find its other half all over the world.

"Miss Su, the falcon can be released now."

Su Rou raised her hand, and the falcon seemed to understand her intention. It flapped its two huge wings and took off into the air.

Looking up, the yard is spacious and not crowded at all.

The falcon flew higher and higher, but I wonder if the general's mansion doesn't look very big at all when viewed from the height of the falcon?

Su Chong said, "I've been recuperating at home these past few days, and I'm almost exhausted. Little sister, I plan to return to the base."

Su Rou withdrew her gaze and looked at Su Chong who had come over at some point in time. "When do you plan to leave, big brother?"

Su Chong smiled innocently, "Tomorrow..."

Su Rou said, "I'll take you there. I'm afraid Dad won't be able to get up."

Su Chong shook his head, "No, just stay in the mansion obediently, there's no need to send Big Brother off."

Su Rou continued, "Did my second brother deliver the things I asked him to bring you that day?"

Su Chong took out a box from his arms and said, "It's been delivered. The second brother said it's for my sweetheart. Thank you, little sister. I will definitely bring it to her personally."

Su Chong showed a hearty smile.

Su Rou said, "Brother, go to bed early today. We have to set off tomorrow. The journey is long, so you need to get enough rest."

Su Chong nodded and said, "I'm going to see my father tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. When I leave, I won't ask anyone to call you."

She would have to find a way to deal with her three brothers later. In any case, she must not let them become an obstacle to Gong Yu's attack on the Northern Kingdom.

Su Rou returned to the yard and ate pastries idly.

A maid hurried in from outside the courtyard, "Miss, the people who went to pawn things this afternoon were caught by soldiers on the street, and all the things they had were confiscated."

Su Rou raised one eyebrow slightly. She didn't find it strange that such a thing happened, but why did it happen at this time?

Su Rou stood up and patted her hands off the powdered sugar.

"Does the person in charge know who exactly is it?"

"It seems to be... the Left Prime Minister..."

Su Rou was stunned. Shen Yao?

This is trouble.

She hated getting entangled with her left and right ministers the most.

In addition, she had previously asked the emperor to ask her to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and cause a scene. If Gu Huaqing knew about this, he would definitely take the opportunity to get hold of her handle and use it as a threat.

Su Rou said, "Have someone prepare a carriage and go directly to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

The maid nodded solemnly, "Miss, but don't we need to report this matter to the general..."

Su Rou said, "Father has been staying in the mansion recently. How would he know what's going on outside? Now I can also be the head of the family, so there's no need to tell Father."

Su Rou was actually worried that if Su Wan knew about this, he would rush to kill Gu Huaqing regardless of the consequences.

In order to make her father feel more at ease, she also took great pains...

It was already dark when Su Rou's carriage arrived outside the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Perhaps knowing she would come, more than twenty guards had already been arranged at the door.

Su Rou was in no hurry to get off the carriage. She leaned against the carriage and looked at them with a malicious smile, "What do you mean, Lord Right Prime Minister? Don't you welcome me to your house?"

The leader looked defensive, "The Right Prime Minister said that you are not here to be a guest, but simply to kill him."

Su Rou said, "No, could it be that he knew I was coming over today? It's a rare visit for him, so I have to ask him to come out and see me in person."

Gu Huaqing's voice came from inside the door, "I really didn't know you were coming today. Ever since you came last time, I've been stationing guards at the door just to keep an eye on you. What are you doing here today?"

Su Rou said, "I want to ask you for an explanation. Was it your order that Left Prime Minister Shen Yao seized my things?"

Gu Huaqing said, "What is that? If he has it detained, go find him. Why are you looking for me? There must be a limit to bullying!"

Su Rou frowned slightly. Could it be that the Right Prime Minister really didn't know about this?

She didn't stay here for long. She shook her sleeves and asked the coachman to drive away.

"Oh, then I was mistaken. I thought you were petty and deliberately taking revenge on me. Let's go, let's go find Shen Yao."

Seeing that she really wanted to leave, the coachman drove away slowly.

Although those things were less than half of what the general's mansion had, it was still a considerable amount of money.

Su Rou felt strange. She just sent someone to pawn something. Could it be that Shen Yao had discovered something?

Suddenly, Su Rou realized that something was wrong. There was something wrong with the maid who followed her to the storeroom...

Could it be that the maid was the one who tipped off others and caused the old woman to be caught by Liu Bai?

Su Rou's suspicion grew stronger.

But there is no evidence yet, we must catch them in the act...
