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

Huang Liao covered his eyes, probably because he felt it was too unbearable to watch, and silently retracted his foot that had already followed Su Rou over the threshold.

Su Rou turned her head and said to Huang Liao, "You go... down first."

Su Rou looked a little awkward, and this made Gong Yu come up with a bold guess.

She went out for a while, and when she came back she was willing to be close to me.

Huang Liao considerately helped them close the door.

"Okay, girl, talk to the general slowly."

As soon as the door closed, the candle in the room flickered twice, and the room instantly became dim, looking even a little eerie.

Su Rou said, "I asked General Gong this morning, and he didn't want to put the Gong family in danger, but I still want to ask your opinion... I'm going to the desert to save my father, and I need help. Are you willing to help me?"

If Gong Yuanzhi doesn't want to do it, Gong Yu certainly won't be willing either.

Gong Yu said, "I'm not disagreeing with helping you, so there's no need to show that expression. You don't need to ask for his opinion, but... if you mobilize the military power without authorization, the Gong family will indeed be in trouble. I will help you, but I can't use the military power currently in the hands of the Gong family."

That's indeed the case...

It’s good to have Gong Yu’s help.

However, Su Rou speculated that after they entered the desert, they would inevitably fight with people from the east. Last time in Jingzhou, the desert man who found the governor's mansion was extremely powerful.

What's more, even Gong Yu was injured at that time. Although she didn't think it was serious at the time, Gong Yu had to recuperate in the mansion for several days before recovering after that day.

Su Rou said, "Gong Yu, thank you, you have helped me a lot."

As she spoke, a look of sadness appeared on her face.

Just Gong Yu and her, how could this be enough...

trouble……

Dad was taken to the eastern part of the desert by them. She was determined to bring Dad back no matter what, and then ask the Su family to leave this hellhole and live a good life in a place where no one knew them.

Su Rou stood up and said, "I'll think about it again."

Su Rou went back to the yard, washed her face, and sat on a chair in the yard, looking at the dark sky.

This was when Gong Yu discovered that she liked sitting in the yard, so he asked the maid to bring it to her.

Gong Yu said that he also built a rocking chair for her, and it would take a few days for the rocking chair to be ready.

When Gong Yu came back, Huang Liao was with him.

Huang Liao said, "Miss, haven't you rested yet?"

Su Rou's face showed no emotion. "No, I'm just in a bad mood."

Huang Liao glanced at Gong Yu evasively, his expression seemed to indicate that he was doubting whether it was Gong Yu who made her feel bad.

Su Rou stood up and said, "It's not because of Gong Yu, there's no need to look at him."

Gong Yu called Su Rou who was in the preparation room, "The day after tomorrow is the wedding of fake Su Rou and Shen Yao, do you want to go?"

Su Rou waved her hand, "No, it's like watching me get married."

What's more, the fake Su Rou had already agreed to her terms of exchange.

On the Su family side...

Let's ignore it for now. She won't get married anyway. That fake Su Rou married someone for her. Just think of it as the fake Su Rou getting married on her behalf and spending the Su family's money.

Late at night, a pair of hands rested on Su Rou's waist from behind.

"I just didn't want to sleep with you, so I asked the maid to make a bed on the floor for me."

Gong Yu said, "Because I didn't agree to your request last night, are you angry?"

Su Rou said, "No, I'm just worried about your injury. You sleep with me at night, and I'm afraid I might accidentally press on your injury."

Gong Yu said, "My injury is not serious. The ground is cold. Come back to bed with me."

Su Rou flew into the air and was picked up by Gong Yu.

Gong Yu said, "If you have any ideas, you can tell me. Don't let yourself dwell on them. I'm really afraid that in the end you'll end up blaming everything on the Gong family."

Su Rou put her arms around his neck and was placed at the innermost part of the bed by him.

"I know you wouldn't agree even if I told you, but my thoughts haven't changed since I told you the beginning. I think that old man from the Southern Kingdom should step down. He's not fit to be the emperor."

Gong Yu said, "Your Majesty is a wise ruler, but his methods are too radical. Even if you pull him down, who will you support to ascend the throne?"

He straightened up and looked down at Su Rou, "Su Wan?"

Su Rou's expression was calm. She turned over on the bed, resting her arm on her chin. "I never thought of letting anyone from the Su family ascend the throne. I just wanted to rebel. Who can stand that old guy targeting me overtly or covertly every other day?"

Gong Yu's brows relaxed slightly, "I thought you were really ambitious and wanted to take over the entire Southern Kingdom."

Su Rou said, "Why would I need you from the South Country? Look how nervous you are. Do you really think I can ask for anything?"

Even if Gong Yu wasn't there, she would have killed everyone in the Northern Kingdom's royal family in the end.

But she didn't have any deep hatred with that old guy from Nan Guo. She was just naive and felt that the old guy would become a stumbling block for the Su family to live a peaceful life.

Gong Yu lay down beside her. "If that's the case, then I understand why you want to get close to the eleventh prince born to the Queen."

When she and Gong Yu arrived in the Southern Kingdom, Su Rou had already made all the necessary preparations, and she set her sights on the Eleventh Prince.

She used Gong Yu's identity to teach the Eleventh Prince in the palace. After that, the Eleventh Prince kept pestering her and wanted to take her as his teacher.

The eleventh prince is the queen's legitimate son, and his eldest sister is the eldest princess born to the queen. His status is more noble than that of other princes.

This is also the reason why the Queen was wary of her at the palace banquet that day.

The Queen dotes on the Eleventh Prince and dares not disobey him.

The Queen will have to rely on the Eleventh Prince for the rest of her life.

If the eleventh prince is more capable... and becomes the crown prince, then the queen will become the empress dowager after the eleventh prince ascends the throne.

If the eleventh prince is not ambitious, the queen still has a son to protect. The women in the harem have spent their entire lives relying on other men, which is somewhat pitiful.

Su Rou looked at Gong Yu who had his eyes closed beside her, "Even though you disagreed that day, I didn't have any strong backing when I rebelled, so I had to use other methods to pull that old man down. This Eleventh Prince was chosen by you and me, so you won't have any objections, right?"

In a sense, they have brought that old man down.

Gong Yu put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. "Rebellion will implicate the Gong family. I hope you can understand, but I will help you achieve what you want to do."

Once a person has a soft spot, he or she tends to be hesitant and cautious, which Su Rou can understand.

Because if it were her, she would also choose to protect the Su family.

When he woke up the next day, Gong Yuanzhi looked at Gong Yu, whose cheeks were covered in bruises, and asked, "Who are you?"

Huang Liao tried so hard to hold back his laughter that he almost hurt himself internally.

General, did he fight with the girl again yesterday?

Gong Yu's face was swollen, and the wound on his neck had opened, bleeding. Besides this...

There were also clearly visible teeth marks and scratches on the neck.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Su Rou, who was wearing a mask, came from behind and dragged him away by the ear.

"Ask the doctor to treat your wound. It's broken and bleeding. I told you I'd sleep on the floor, but you insisted on sleeping with me!"

When Gong Yu came over, the wound had been re-bandaged.

Huang Liao and Gong Yuanzhi saw his energetic expression and knew that he must have eaten a lot yesterday.

Gong Yuanzhi coughed twice, "Why didn't you bring that girl with you? Doesn't she eat breakfast?"

Gong Yu said, "She will be going to the palace soon, so she won't have breakfast with us."

Gong Yuanzhi looked at Madam Gong beside him and said in a low voice, "Why don't you go with her? What if something happens?"

Gong Yu took a bite of green vegetables and chewed it, eating it elegantly and dignifiedly. "If something happens, I'll take care of it."

Gong Yuanzhi: “?”

The carriage went steadily on the street towards the palace, and Su Rou sat calmly in the carriage.

When she thought about last night...

My cheeks turned slightly red and couldn't help but feel hot.

"Bang" Su Rou punched the carriage.

Last night, that bastard definitely did it on purpose!

He actually pretended to be pitiful to gain sympathy!

When her fist hit Gong Yu, it was like hitting a ball of cotton, turning her strength into nothingness.

Gong Yu raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes slightly red, "Arou, the wound hurts."

Su Rou was devastated. He did it on purpose. He definitely did it on purpose!

"If you know it hurts, don't touch me! If someone doesn't know you, they'd think I was bullying you."
