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

Su Rou smiled faintly and said, "Come with me to ask for the Emperor's marriage decree tomorrow. I will be leaving today."

Shen Yao stood up and said, "If you're looking for a place to sell your box of things, you might as well try the Yuan family pawnshop, with whom you have a good relationship. If you just pick a random shop, people from other families in the capital will be able to sense your intentions."

Su Rou said, "Except for the people in your Xiguang Marquis Mansion, no one else knows about this box of things, right?"

Shen Yao nodded. "When my father learned about this, he wanted to use it as a threat to force you to obey us. However, he wasn't completely sure. He said that you have a fickle personality and might not agree..."

Su Rou said, "He's smart. At least he didn't do anything stupid and go to my father. I won't give in to my marriage. Who dares to force me? But thank you for helping me stop it today."

If this matter were reported to the emperor, she would probably have to find a way to deal with it again...

The emperor's thoughts were really troublesome. He should have just cut it out piece by piece, cut it into slices, dried it into jerky and fed it to the dogs.

Su Rou walked out of the Xiguang Marquis Mansion, and the coachman guarding outside the door hurried down upon seeing this.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Su Rou waved her hand, "It's okay."

Two guards followed her, carrying the box and placing it on the carriage.

"Miss, your things have been returned. Please keep your promise."

Su Rou said, "You have broken one of your promises."

The two guards looked at each other and asked, "What do you mean?"

Su Rou said, "You said you'd treat me to some pastries, but you ended up sending me Shen Yao. What kind of delicious snack is Shen Yao? I've remembered that I was deceived by the frame, and I'll naturally find an opportunity to retaliate in the future. Please tell your Lord Marquis about this."

Su Rou turned around and climbed onto the carriage.

The two guards had no choice but to carry the box up, then looked at her apologetically, "Excuse me, young lady. Next time, we will definitely prepare a more sumptuous snack for you."

Su Rou nodded lightly, and it was already late at night when the carriage returned to the general's mansion.

Su Rou and Shen Yao agreed not to attend the morning court this morning. It would be better to avoid suspicion.

Su Chong left before dawn that morning, and she, her father, and Ji Shi were the only three people left in the general's mansion...

The two of them appeared together in the emperor's side hall, and the emperor felt worried when he saw them both.

The emperor asked, "Does your father know about this?"

Su Rou shook her head, "My father doesn't know."

The emperor said, "That's right. If Su Wan knew, Shen Yao wouldn't have the fate to come here. But have you thought it through? There's no need to come to me specifically to ask for an imperial edict just for Shen Yao."

According to Marquis Xiguang, if she didn't tell others so loudly that she had a crush on Shen Yao, it wouldn't work...

This imperial edict should also be something that Marquis Xiguang used to save his life.

Su Rou said, "I simply think he's better, so I want to marry him. Your Majesty, can you fulfill my wish?"

The emperor said, "When I asked you to marry Yuan'er, you looked down on her. How come you are now attracted to the Left Prime Minister? If you were simply after the position of Prime Minister, why didn't you choose the Right Prime Minister, Gu Huaqing?"

Facing the emperor's questioning, Su Rou didn't think there was anything wrong...

Let's not talk about whether she admires the Right Prime Minister or not. Even if she does, the fact that she set fire to the Right Prime Minister's residence before was enough to make Gu Huaqing take up a knife and die with her on their wedding night...

Su Rou's eyes wandered, "Shen Yao is different from Gu Huaqing."

The emperor was a little angry, "I want to see what tricks you can come up with by following Shen Yao."

Su Rou must know that the reason the emperor was angry was not because she chose Shen Yao.

It was because she hadn't given Xie Yuan any respect before...

If she didn't give Xie Yuan face, she was actually not giving him, the emperor, face...

Su Rou said, "Your Majesty, then let's do as you say. We will not ask for an imperial decree. Goodbye."

She stood up and was about to take Shen Yao away, but the next second, the emperor called her, "Wait, when have I not agreed to your request?"

The emperor called the eunuch Chang to come forward and quickly drafted a marriage decree.

Su Rou took it and took a look. She and Shen Yao looked at each other, and the two of them bowed respectfully in front of the table in tacit understanding.

"Your Majesty, thank you for granting me the marriage."

After leaving the palace, Su Rou handed the imperial edict to Shen Yao, "I believe you, so don't forget what you promised me yesterday. This belongs to your Xiguang Marquis Mansion."

Shen Yao said, "Why did you do that just now? What if you really left and the emperor didn't stop you?"

The emperor would stop her because the person she chose, Shen Yao, was neither high nor low in position. Moreover, he was the youngest son born out of wedlock and had no family support. So what was wrong with him becoming the son-in-law of the general's mansion?

Su Rou smiled awkwardly, "You still have a lot to learn about this. I'm going back now."

As soon as she stepped down a step, she met Gong Yu's gloomy eyes.

He was dressed in dark black robes, with his hair tied up high. He stared at the imperial edict in Shen Yao's hand as if he wanted to kill someone.

Su Rou's body stiffened, and she was so frightened by him that she didn't dare to take another step forward.

Gong Yu took a step forward, and Su Rou subconsciously took a step back, but she didn't notice the step behind her, and she stumbled and sat down on the ground.

Shen Yao was just about to bend down to help her.

Su Rou quickly stood up, turned around and ran.

Another figure followed closely behind.

Su Rou was afraid that she would be caught by Gong Yu.

So he simply jumped onto the wall. In the palace, Gong Yu didn't dare to show off his skills in such a high-profile manner.

Su Rou climbed up and down the eaves and walls, and confirmed that Gong Yu did not follow her. She walked around the palace for a long time before returning to the carriage parked at Donghua Gate.

But as soon as she climbed onto the carriage, someone covered her mouth and nose and dragged her up.

The air pressure in the carriage suddenly dropped. Even though it was hot outside, it made her shiver.

Just kidding, Gong Yu really knows how to kill people.

He came closer and lowered his voice, "Why are you running away from me? Have you done anything to offend me?"

Su Rou opened her mouth and bit his hand. Gong Yu groaned and also opened his mouth and bit her neck.

She pushed hard, and he pushed hard too.

"Ah!" Su Rou screamed in pain. The groom outside asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Su Rou took a breath and said, "It's okay! Let's go back home!"

Su Rou also lowered her voice and said, "I didn't do anything to offend you, and I didn't follow you! From the beginning to the end, I never did! Are you perverted? Let go!"

Her hands were held tightly by Gong Yu.

The force was so strong that she couldn't break free.

Su Rou knew that this time she had probably really made him angry.

But hadn't the Xiguang Marquis Mansion been rebelled against by him? They were in the same group, so what did it matter who she chose?

Gong Yu bit her neck tightly and refused to let go. Su Rou felt like he had bitten off a piece of her flesh...

Su Rou raised her leg and kicked towards Gong Yu, but Gong Yu grabbed her ankle.

Gong Yu took a long time to let her go, and Su Rou felt her neck relaxed.

Su Rou said, "Are you sick?! Get out! Didn't you want to kill me before? Who are you showing off like this to?"

Gong Yu pinched her jaw, "You are still angry about what happened before. I said, before this, I treated you..."

Su Rou covered his mouth, telling him not to continue. "I don't want to listen, you bastard, I don't believe what you say!"

Gong Yu took her hand away, "So, you trust the people from Xiguang Marquis Mansion?"

Su Rou said, "Yes, I would rather trust a beggar than you! So, stay away from me! If you really want to do this for my own good, then hurry up and do your thing."

She was really forced into a corner.

She knew the result, but it would take at least two years for Gong Yu to lead his troops into the Northern Kingdom.

She wondered every day when it would come soon.

She is really going crazy!

She hoped that the General's Mansion would no longer be bound by these rules and regulations.

She wished she could leave here too...

Gong Yu frowned, "What... are you talking about?"

Su Rou didn't want to argue with him, "I don't want to talk to you, get out of the car! Or I'll kick you out!"

During these fights, although she hadn't said it explicitly, she had somewhat sensed the disparity in strength between herself and Gong Yu...

She couldn't beat Gong Yu, and she couldn't turn her face too obviously, so what else could she do? She could only lose her temper like this...

Gong Yu took her legs and asked her to sit on his lap, "What kind of deal did you reach with the Xiguang Marquis Mansion? Why are you suddenly asking for a marriage proposal from the Emperor?"

Su Rou supported her chest and didn't want to get close to him, but the strength in Gong Yu's hands kept pinning her lower back, preventing her from resisting.

"I simply like Shen Yao. He's quiet and not clingy. I like people like him."
