The emperor hadn't even said a word yet this person confessed everything, clearly trying to put all the blame on her.

Su Rou said, "You are talking nonsense. Can you use your brain before you lie..."

The soldier looked at her with resentment, as if asking him to do such a thing was some kind of insult to him.

"Miss, now that the truth has been revealed, stop pretending."

Su Rou glanced at him lightly.

"Did Xie Yuan ask you to impersonate someone from the General's Mansion? I remember there's a law in the Northern Kingdom that anyone who replaces a soldier in the army will be punished or even dragged out and beheaded, depending on the circumstances."

She was still sitting on the horse, and if she got off in such a panic, it would seem that she was up to something.

The soldier's expression stiffened.

Su Rou continued, "Besides, this horse was clearly given to me by you. You said my father helped me cheat, so you helped me cheat? I also said that you framed me and wanted to frame our general's mansion."

The eunuch bowed to Su Rou again and said, "Miss, please dismount."

Su Rou frowned slightly, but still jumped off the horse.

"I think the Emperor would definitely not wrongly accuse me for no reason like this."

The father-in-law nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady. However, until your innocence is confirmed, the horse must be confiscated and you cannot leave."

Su Rou waved her hand and said, "Hurry up, my assessment time is very precious."

What could be the difference between one horse and another?

But looking at the soldier's appearance, it's probably not that simple.

They wouldn't let Su Rou leave and could continue the assessment, so Su Rou could only wander around aimlessly.

Su Rou looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her. Just as she was about to go to the stable to take a look, she was stopped by the second son of the Xiguang Marquis's Mansion.

She remembered that the second son of the Xiguang Marquis's Mansion seemed to be called Shen Changming.

Su Rou said, "What?"

Shen Changming said, "You can't go to the stable."

Su Rou frowned, "Why?"

How does this person know where he is going?

Besides, the relationship between the General's Mansion and the Xiguang Marquis' Mansion is indeed not very good, so why would Shen Changming help her?

Shen Changming lowered his voice and said, "We only helped you again and again because of Prince Yu. Don't be ungrateful. If you go, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Su Rou took a deep breath. It seemed that Shen Changming was attracted by Gong Yu?

She searched the stands for Gong Yu's figure, and in a corner she saw Gong Yu leaning against the fence and waving at her.

Gong Yu asked Shen Changming to come?

Okay, then she will stop running around for Gong Yu's sake.

The Marquis of Xiguang was granted the title of marquis by the late emperor in the early years because of his meritorious service in protecting the emperor, but now it seems that they have been planning a rebellion for a long time.

Gong Yu was actually able to order Shen Changming around, this was truly amazing...

"Miss Su, the emperor wants you to come forward."

The haystack under Su Rou was not even warm, so she had to stand up and go over to call her father-in-law to go to the emperor together.

She knelt on the ground, not saying a word.

The emperor laughed and said, "Why are you so quiet this time? If it were before, wouldn't you have been crying in front of me?"

Of course, it was because her tears in the past were all fake...

Su Rou said, "These days there are always bad guys trying to murder me. I'm used to it."

The emperor said, "I have already reprimanded the Minister of Justice in the court about his previous incident. Why are you still thinking about it?"

Doesn't the emperor mean that he thinks she is narrow-minded? What's the difference between the Minister of Justice suspecting her again and again and having nothing better to do?

Su Rou said, "Your Majesty, there's a saying since ancient times that only women and villains are difficult to raise. I'm just a woman, why should I have the same tolerance as your Majesty?"

The emperor sighed, "Even with my magnanimity, I have to say something about what happened today. You and the General's Mansion are truly audacious."

Su Rou remained silent. The people who went to check on the horse had not returned yet, and the emperor had already convicted her?

Su Rou said, "Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with me taking part in the military examination? If Your Majesty had issued a clear order forbidding women from participating, I wouldn't be here like this."

She choked up, and looked so pitiful that it seemed as if tears would fall from her eyes in the next second.

A eunuch came forward and whispered something in the emperor's ear.

The emperor's tone changed. "I don't blame you. I just wanted to be on the safe side, so I asked you to come and check the horse."

Su Rou asked, "Is the inspection complete? Does the Emperor still think I cheated?"

The emperor looked troubled. "You are innocent to begin with. I will thoroughly investigate who is behind this."

Su Rou said, "Your Majesty, why not interrogate the man who gave me the handle? He doesn't look like one of my father's soldiers. According to the laws of the Northern Kingdom, anyone who impersonates an army soldier is guilty of the same crime as a deserter."

The emperor said, "You go back safely for assessment. I will make the final decision on the rest."

Su Rou walked down the Que Tower. The emperor knew who it was and he intended to help that person conceal it.

This thought was too obvious. Su Rou sighed. Sure enough, Xie Yuan still disliked her...

She had no evidence, but it didn't matter. After today, the emperor would no longer be able to protect Xie Yuan.

The second assessment subject was horse riding and archery. Su Rou performed heroically on the field and received a round of applause.

In addition, she has the title of being the daughter of General Su, so some young men from wealthy families look at her as if they want to devour her!

Su Rou heard someone say about herself, "If she didn't have a good father, she wouldn't have the chance to be in the spotlight today."

Su Rou could understand that they were jealous.

But if they now think that this is all thanks to her father being a great general, they are totally wrong.

The third test requires riding a horse and stabbing with a spear.

Su Rou saw Shen Changming standing beside her. This test was different from the previous ones, as she had to compete with her opponent.

Marquis Xiguang was originally a military general, so Shen Changming's skills must be extraordinary.

Su Rou thought that Shen Changming should be dealt with first and knocked off his horse.

The whistle blows.

Before Su Rou could react, she saw Shen Changming riding a horse and rushing towards her.

Her body stiffened and she was stunned.

It turns out she's not the only one who wants to take the initiative and eliminate those who are harmful to her...

Gong Yu stood up in the stands.

Su Rou supported herself on the horse's back with one hand and flew into the air. Before Shen Changming could hit her on horseback, she kicked him.

Shen Changming leaned back, and Su Rou's foot swept past his face.

Ok?

Can you avoid this?!

Su Rou rode on the horse as if it were flat ground, her body as light as a blooming lotus swaying slightly on a lotus leaf.

The spear she held at her shoulder twirled in her hand.

"bang" Su Rou's spear knocked Shen Changming off the horse.
