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

Fake Su Rou grabbed Shen Yao's hand and said coquettishly like a scoundrel, "A Yao, I really want to eat sour apricots now. Can you help me get them?"

Shen Yao didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he grabbed the fake Su Rou's hand and said, "Be obedient, I also want to know about your physical condition."

The fake Su Rou was stunned for a moment. Although she was very reluctant, she didn't dare to show it too obviously.

I could only obediently go back into the house and wait for the doctor to come and take my pulse.

The place where Jia Su Rou lives all year round is full of the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest. The slaves who come out of the dueling arena have all experienced life and death.

Their first instinct is right.

Shen Yao must know something.

Fake Su Rou sat beside the bed, and the doctor covered her wrist with a handkerchief. Men and women should not touch each other, so this was to prevent the doctor from offending the host when he came to treat him.

"Madam's pulse is stable and she is in good health. The baby in her belly is fine. Master, don't worry. It's normal for Madam to have a good appetite."

Shen Yao said, "That's good."

Fake Su Rou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that A Yao was really worried about her health and that was why he called this doctor over...

"But there's something strange. Madam's pulse is strong and swirling, which means she's at least three months pregnant. Master, didn't you say you and Madam only had sex after your wedding? Considering the time, a pulse like this shouldn't be happening...hiss...how strange."

Fake Su Rou's hands were flat on the bed, but she could hardly control her emotions and wanted to kill the doctor.

This person might have been specially found by A Yao to test her.

The old doctor had been threatened by her before, so he kept the secret for her.

But this time...

A Yao didn't give her any chance at all.

What is this doctor pretending to be?

A trace of disgust flashed in the fake Su Rou's eyes.

When she looked at Shen Yao, she found that Shen Yao was also looking at her.

Fake Su Rou immediately put on a well-behaved look and asked, "Have you forgotten that day?"

Shen Yao raised his hand and stroked the fake Su Rou's head as if he was petting a kitten.

"He doesn't know, but I don't blame him."

The fake Su Rou looked at Shen Yao, who was as gentle as ever, and completely let go of her worries.

After she came back that day, she found Shen Yao. Fortunately, she had foresight... and took the initiative to find Shen Yao and have sex with him.

Shen Yao said to the doctor, "Please just prescribe the medicine."

Shen Yao went out with the doctor.

When he came back later, he had a plate of sour apricots in his hands.

"If you eat too much of this, your teeth will sour. Eat less. We always have your favorite cakes in the house, but I see that you don't seem interested."

Fake Su Rou pinched one and put it in her mouth. "Maybe it's because I'm pregnant. The taste is a little different from before."

Shen Yao looked at her with burning eyes. Was it really because she was pregnant?

Shen Yao stood up and took her into his arms, "It will be hard for you to follow me."

Fake Su Rou raised her head and said, "It's okay. It's also good for us to be a merchant couple."

Su Rou and the old woman followed the direction the fat man told them and walked for a distance, entering the grassland from the desert.

But still nothing was found.

"Girl, this guy is not really lying, right?!"

Su Rou looked around and found that they could no longer see the desert.

“Probably not, because I saw the prayer flags.”

There must be desert nomads living near this thing.

Those who can use prayer flags have high status and position.

Su Rou lowered her eyes and was about to reach out her hand, but the little fat man shrank his neck.

"I brought you here, can you promise me one more thing? Can you please not hit my father when the time comes? I will just take my father back, and I won't let him become your enemy."

Su Rou said, "I have a question. Why are you so cowardly? Are you afraid of me? Aren't you people from the desert supposed to become more courageous after setbacks?"

The little fat boy still looked as if he was about to speak but hesitated. "I... I'm not a coward. I'm just a man who knows the current situation and is a hero."

Su Rou was amused by his silly look, "Okay."

Once they enter here, they should attract the attention of people in the east.

Su Rou sighed.

They hadn't encountered any major trouble along the way.

The old woman said, "Girl, we have come all this way, why don't we let them all rest for a while?"

Su Rou said, "Go a little further, don't stay here."

There are prayer flags here. If this is really the eastern part of the desert, wouldn't they be targets if they stop here?

Colorful strips of cloth were flying in the sky, being blown up and down by the wind.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, Su Rou felt very comfortable.

This place is not as dazzling as in the desert, and the sky is clear and the weather is very good.

The old woman came towards her with some dry food and said, "Girl, you seem to like it here very much."

Su Rou said, "I do like it, because the vast expanse of land is endless, and I can ride my horse and have fun here. It's a pity that this is not the Central Plains."

She always has to go back.

It would be great if she could be reborn as a desert dweller in her next life.

The old woman said, "If possible, would you like to stay in the desert? Anyway, your family members now have a fake girl."

In fact, ever since they entered the desert, Su Rou felt that the old woman was a little strange.

Su Rou took a bite of the biscuit and said, "I'm just asking you, I don't mean anything else. I've never asked you this question before."

The old woman said, "Girl, you say."

Su Rou asked, "Are you from the Central Plains or the desert?"

The air froze instantly, and a breeze blew past her side. Su Rou leaned back and raised her head to enjoy the sun bath.

The old woman also took a bite of the cake. "Miss, did someone tell you something? Why are you suddenly so interested in where I am from?"

Su Rou said, "Okay, I have the answer in my mind now."

In the past, if the old woman was asked by her, she would answer directly, instead of beating around the bush like she did now.

"I asked you this question because I wanted to hear the answer from you in person, not because I really wanted to ask you. I trust you, so I brought you along on this trip to the desert. You'll be on your own."

Su Rou's words "take care of yourself" were somewhat threatening.

She stood up and was about to go check on the fat boy when the old woman's voice called her from behind.

"Girl, I'm telling you the truth."

Su Rou went back to sit down and said, "Isn't that good? If you continue not to tell me the truth, even if something really happens, I won't be able to protect you anymore."

"I... am from the desert, and from the eastern tribe that the young lady is looking for..."

Su Rou's expression remained unchanged as she waited for the old woman to continue. "You talk, I'm listening."

The old woman swallowed and said, "You're not angry?"

Su Rou said, "Why should I be angry? Do you think I'm innocent and didn't notice anything?"

Seeing that she had no intention of attacking, the old woman mustered up the courage to continue, "My poisons and medical skills are all learned from desert witch doctors. My parents abandoned me in the desert when I was young, but fortunately I was rescued by wild wolves and raised on their breast milk... I wandered the desert forever... Later, I was captured by a witch doctor and brought back to the east."

"They taught me to speak and read, and I was considered a saint by the people in the East."

Su Rou interrupted the old woman, "Then how did you manage to have children with a Central Plains person?"

"Girl, you know, the internal affairs of the Desert Royal Family have always been unstable... The eastern tribes often attack the western tribes. Because I helped the western tribes, they drove me away, and I began to wander in the desert again."

West...

West side...

The King of the Desert who brought people to kidnap my father seemed to be from the west.

"Do you like the one from the western tribe?"

The old woman nodded. "Yes, I was young then, so I didn't know how dangerous the world was. After I was kicked out, the West didn't want me anymore, so I realized they had only been using me the whole time."

"When the last king of the East was still around, I didn't have much ambition. I kept wandering and wandering until I came to the North. The people of the North saw that I was weak and kept bullying me. I killed them with poison to protect myself."

Su Rou said, "So you're on the wanted list and they call you the Poison Queen... Have you never been back to the desert?"

The old woman shook her head. "No, I've been living in the North Country since I was a teenager, and I've become what I am now."

Su Rou opened the water bag and took a sip of water. "Tell me about the relationship between the current King of the East and the previous King you knew."
