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

"We have to hold on even if we can't." Su Rou didn't care. "Dad, when you were leading the troops to fight, you were not so indecisive. Why are you so soft-hearted now?"

The look in Su Wan's eyes was more of helplessness. "What do you know, little girl? Back then, it was the Southern Kingdom that bullied us too much, and now it's..."

"What's going on now? Someone wants to kill you, Dad, and start a war, letting the Su family take the blame and letting the people suffer! Dad, you care about those so-called benevolence and morality, but have you ever thought about who will protect them if you really die?! Besides, Dad, have you ever thought about it? Let's just take care of the old age? Don't worry about it anymore. If the North and the South want to fight, then fight. If you don't intervene, who can withstand it?"

Su Rou's tone was sharp, and every word she spoke was like a knife stabbing Su Wan's heart.

Su Wan was speechless after being confronted by her. After a long while, he managed to utter, "You girl..."

"What's wrong with me?" Su Rou raised her eyebrows. "Am I wrong? Father, you are too soft-hearted. Don't forget your injury. The old woman said that if you continue to be General Su, you will become a useless person sooner or later. These two men are quite powerful, but your body is stronger than that of ordinary people. If you hadn't cut off one of his arms just now, I wouldn't have been able to succeed."

"But these two are only capable of this. You only chopped off one person's arm. Even if you've been pushed to this point, don't you want to lie in a rocking chair and watch your children and grandchildren flourish? My eldest brother, second brother, and third brother are still single. You put the interests of the country first. Can you please think about me and my brothers?"

Su Rou half-knelt in front of Su Wan, trying to persuade him earnestly, and she became more and more excited as she spoke.

He simply ignored Su Wan and turned to look at the assassin who the guards had been unable to capture for a long time.

"Shen Yao's martial arts skills are not bad, so why are the people he brings under his command so useless?"

In just a moment of inattention, a large number of guards were knocked down by the remaining man.

"You pretended to be quite convincing. I didn't expect you to be Su Rou."

The first time she met these two men, she noticed that they were quite skilled, so she never fought with them.

My father must have been exhausted by them, and I might not be their match...

She sat down on the stone block at the back door, crossed her legs and looked relaxed.

"Then you can only blame yourself for your lack of knowledge, not me for deceiving you."

The man laughed sarcastically and said, "I knew it, you have a special relationship with that young lady, so it's no surprise that you have the Yuan family badge."

Su Rou sneered, "You bunch of losers, if I'm not mistaken, were sent by Yuan Wen's uncles, right? Every one of you is a bastard coveting the position of the head of the family!"

Su Rou looked calm and asked, "Why did your master ask you to arrest my father?"

This is exactly what Su Rou can't understand. No matter how she thinks about it, her father's interests have nothing to do with the Yuan family...

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Kill him if you want. Why bother talking? I will never betray him."

Su Rou stood up from the stone block. "Even if you are not so loyal, I know you are a member of the Yuan family, right? Yuan Wen's uncle died at my hands. Forget it. Besides Yuan Wen, everyone else in the Yuan family must die anyway."

She shouldn't be involved in Yuan Wen's family affairs, but now she has implicated her father.

Su Rou swung the dagger in her hand and said, "You will die if you go back. You haven't completed the order given by your master anyway, so you'd better leave your life behind."

To cut the grass, you must remove the roots. Su Rou has always adhered to this fine tradition of the Su family.

The man also clenched the long sword in his hand, as if he was ready to fight her to the death.

Su Wan's worried voice came from behind, "Arou..."

Su Rou said, "Father, please go to the side. If I don't kill him, please go outside the city to pick up my elder brother and elder sister-in-law."

My father is not greedy for money, nor is he greedy for sex.

The Yuan family had nothing to do with him. Even if they were worried that my father would delay their work, there was no need for them to attack my father like this...

The old man doesn't want to get involved at all.

Su Wan looked at her, "Arou, don't hurt yourself, or just let him go! We won't argue with him."

Su Rou said, "The Yuan family must have had ulterior motives. If I'm right, someone must have wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of you so that the Southern Kingdom could attack us. I have no intention of becoming their enemy, but who made them come to me?"

Su Rou was probably right. The assassin was enraged by her and his reason was gradually consumed by anger.

He roared, raised his knife and slashed at Su Rou, "You little bitch, go to hell!"

Oops, I finally got fooled.

Su Rou remained calm, sneered, and dodged his attack lightly. She leaned down and squatted. At the same time, Su Wan, who had been standing behind her, threw the machete at him.

The weight of Su Wan's machete was there, and it directly penetrated the assassin's body, and then he fell straight to the ground.

Su Rou stepped forward and kicked the corpse to make sure it was dead before calling the guards to come and clean it up.

Could it be that this person just saw that she couldn't beat him, so he let his guard down? But she didn't explicitly say that Dad didn't need to do anything.

"Captain Su, according to the Emperor's order, this matter needs to be reported to the Emperor, and you are also required to be confined to the palace."

Su Rou ignored the person who said that and said to Su Wan, "Father, ask the maid in the mansion to boil a basin of hot water for me. I will go to the palace at night. You should also wash yourself and put on some nice clothes. I will send you out of the capital."

Su Wan was startled, "Huh?"

Su Rou smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, just do as I say."

Su Rou was not very confident in her ability, but it was enough to take her father away from this place of trouble.

Last year, the whole family didn’t really spend the New Year together.

It definitely won’t work this year, hopefully next year…

Su Wan said, "You're going to the palace right after you got back? Do you want my father to go with you?"

Su Rou said, "I have something important to discuss with the Emperor, so please don't go over and cause trouble."

Su Wan's voice was filled with grievance, "You were the one who caused trouble for Father in the past, and now you even despise Father."

Su Rou knew that he wanted to help her, but if she told him the truth, he probably wouldn't believe it.

It would be better to save your breath and use it to deal with the old emperor.

Su Rou planned to send Su Wan away, at least before Nan Guo took action.

Su Rou pushed him and said, "Just go back first. It's none of your business whatsoever."

She took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and asked the coachman to drive to the palace at night.

As night fell, the palace was brightly lit.

The emperor is still awake at this hour.

According to the palace rules, people are not allowed to enter or leave at will at night.

But she is Su Rou. Even if the guards at the door stop her, she will make a fuss to force the emperor to come out to see her in person.

In the imperial study, the emperor, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was standing in front of the desk with his back to her, seemingly reviewing memorials.
