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

Gong Yu looked at her and said, "Are you going to stop pretending?"

Su Rou wiped the stains on her face with a handkerchief. "It's the same with you. Compared to His Royal Highness Prince Yu, I'm not good at pretending. He looked sick in the palace, but he climbed over my wall without blushing or breathing hard."

Gong Yu said, "Everyone in the palace was deceived by you. Are you targeting the Northern Kingdom's Crown Prince simply because he spread rumors about you?"

She has a deep hatred for Xie Yuan, and this hatred is not something that can be created just because Xie Yuan spread a rumor.

Su Rou said, "Xie Yuan targeted me, so why can't I target him?"

"You told me this, aren't you afraid that I will report you to the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom?"

Su Rou said, "You go ahead. You and I are on the same boat anyway."

Su Rou felt that Gong Yu would eventually lead his troops to conquer the Northern Kingdom, and her goal was the same as his.

Gong Yu wants revenge and destroys the country, and she wants Xie Yuan to live a life worse than death.

If Gong Yu also agrees with this, the two of them might join forces in the future.

Su Rou opened the curtain and said, "Don't send me back home. I want to go to the place where we went boating before."

Her original intention on the street today was to go back and take a look, but she was tripped by this Cheng Yaojin who showed up unexpectedly.

Su Rou lowered the curtain and glanced at Gong Yu who was sitting leaning against the wall in the carriage.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, I think you wouldn't mind if I ordered your subordinates around directly."

Gong Yu looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, "Your outgoing nature is quite acceptable."

The carriage arrived at the destination.

The capital city is very big, and it was almost evening when they arrived here.

They came to the place where they had talked last time, and Su Rou caught a fish here.

Su Rou looked at the rippling lake surface. It turned out that this place was provided for the royal family to play.

The small house in the distance is a good place to rest for a while.

If we were to investigate this matter, we would probably have to interrogate everyone one by one, which would be too much work. Instead of that, it would be better to go directly to the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

However, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple will definitely not help him.

Her open investigation into the murder of the youngest daughter of the Xiguang Marquis's mansion is likely to attract a lot of attention.

The youngest daughter of the Marquis of Xiguang liked Xie Yuan, and it was for Xie Yuan that she was found that day.

Su Rou felt it was a pity that such a good girl would not have a good ending if she had any connection with Xie Yuan.

Gong Yu put a fur-collared coat on her, and Su Rou, who was in deep thought, was startled.

"What are you doing?"

Gong Yu said, "It's cool by the lake, so I put it on you. You reacted really strongly."

Su Rou didn't want to believe any man who showed his affection to her when he had nothing better to do.

Su Rou said, "Thank you, but I'm not cold, you can put it on yourself."

She took off the fur coat and returned it. Not only that, she also draped the fur coat directly over Gong Yu's shoulders.

When a man puts a coat on a woman, it is a sign of his love for her. But when a woman puts a coat on a man...

Su Rou felt a chill in her heart. She collected her thoughts and put it on him without thinking too much. There should be no other intention.

Su Rou said, "I'll go take a look on the boat."

Although there were guards in this area, no one dared to stop her.

This is also the reason why she and Gong Yu were able to come in so smoothly.

Gong Yu stood on the shore, staring straight at Su Rou. His dark eyes were unfathomable and it was impossible to tell what kind of emotion was in them.

Su Rou jumped onto the boat. There were still fruits and tea prepared that day in the cabin, but probably because of the case, no one from the palace was sent to clean it up.

Su Rou took advantage of the fact that it was not too dark yet and looked around the cabin.

Finally she came to the bow of the ship, where the rope that was hanging the youngest daughter of Xiguang Houfu was still hanging.

A breeze blew and the rope swayed gently twice.

She could even imagine the scene of Xiguang Houfu's youngest daughter being hung there...

"Who are you?!" a voice came from the shore.

Su Rou looked over and found that someone had seen them.

Su Rou jumped off the boat and asked, "Who are you?"

The man was stunned when he saw her, "Miss Su."

Su Rou raised her eyebrows, "Answer my question first."

"I am a clerk in the Dali Temple, my last name is Jiang."

Su Rou bowed respectfully, "Master Jiang."

She could have pretended not to see him, but the people from the Dali Temple couldn't do that. Others called her Miss Su out of respect for her father.

Even if she is her father's daughter, she should not be disrespectful in public.

Su Rou said, "Hasn't the case been investigated yet? Why is your Excellency still here?"

She was cleared of all suspicion and released.

Lord Jiang said, "Miss, you don't know that this case has not been thoroughly investigated. The emperor ordered us to close the case in a general way, but our Lord Shaoqing is a serious man and decided to investigate secretly."

Su Rou nodded, "I see..."

Lord Jiang looked at Su Rou and then at Gong Yu.

"It was getting dark, and I didn't see your faces just now. I thought you were just ordinary people who had mistakenly barged in. I hope Prince Yu and the young lady won't blame me."

Su Rou waved her hand, "Nothing."

Lord Jiang added, "A murder has occurred here. If you two want to find a deserted place, you might as well go out of the city. The scenery outside the city is also very charming."

Su Rou suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Lord Jiang's tone. Did he misunderstand something?

Su Rou said, "We are not... um"

Gong Yu covered Su Rou's mouth and said, "Thank you, Lord Jiang, for telling me. She always loves to see beautiful scenery. I will take her there on a certain day."

Su Rou was dragged away by Gong Yu.

Su Rou opened her mouth and bit Gong Yu's palm fiercely. Gong Yu hissed in pain.

The smell of blood filled my entire mouth.

Gong Yu didn't let her go until they returned to the carriage. "Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

Su Rou kicked him. "He definitely didn't mean that we were just investigating the case because we had nothing better to do. You deliberately didn't ask me to explain. What's the difference between you and that bastard Prince Xie Yuan?!"
