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

Su Wan took the machete from Su Rou's hand and threw it on the ground. He then bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the machete my daughter just wielded was definitely not eighty kilograms, but one hundred kilograms. According to convention, petite women can choose a weight they can handle. So, it's only natural that she couldn't wield it."

Su Rou raised her eyes. The emperor's expression showed that he was very unhappy that her father had discovered the problem.

No way……

Did the emperor also allow the sword to be tampered with?

Su Rou rested for a while, and then recovered her strength. "Father, how did you know there was something wrong with the sword?"

Su Wan snorted coldly, "Didn't the examiner just tell you it weighed 80 kilograms? Mine only weighs 100 kilograms. It's accompanied me on the battlefield for so many years, so I know the weight of my sword!"

Su Rou asked this question on purpose just now, just to see what the emperor's expression would be like when she asked the question first.

Su Rou saw it now.

The emperor looked down at him and asked, "Why are there always some people giving you trouble lately?"

The emperor was looking at Su Rou and asking this question to Su Rou.

There's no need for the emperor to be so pretentious...

She was deliberately troubled by others. Wasn't it all because the emperor spoiled Xie Yuan?

The emperor had only spoken about Xie Yuan's previous matter. What could the Minister of Justice and others be afraid of?

Isn't it just to find a way to start with her to deal with the General's Mansion!

If anything happens to her, my father will definitely be exposed, and then those villains will be able to take advantage of the situation and catch them easily...

Su Rou's face was pure. "Your Majesty, perhaps someone wants to deal with my father? I performed well in the previous few tests today, defeating officials and slaying the future all the way to this test. Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to weigh it? If this sword is indeed 80 kilograms, then I have failed. I will go back to the palace with my father now."

The emperor's face was gloomy. "Your performance today was excellent. I have seen it. There is no need to test it again. Even if this sword weighs more than 80 kilograms, you have lifted it. A woman like you is already extraordinary. I allow you to pass."

Su Rou was delighted and said that she should give it a try. What if she passed?

Su Wan kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

On the way back, Su Wan sat in the carriage, but his face looked as ugly as if he had not left the toilet.

Su Rou said, "Dad, why are you looking so sullen? I made it through successfully, aren't you happy?"

Su Wan said, "Father is happy, happy for A'rou, but what happened today, father feels that something is fishy. How dare someone target you under the emperor's nose? That big knife really weighs a hundred pounds. Fortunately, father was put in today. Otherwise, if he hadn't been found, you would have suffered this loss in vain."

Su Rou deliberately lowered her voice, "Father, have you ever thought that maybe it's the Emperor up there dealing with me?"

Su Wan was so frightened that he immediately covered her mouth. "We're still on the street now. You better be careful with your words, girl. Can you just say that casually?"

Su Wan secretly lifted the curtain a little and looked outside. Seeing that the coachman had no reaction, Su Wan felt relieved.

Su Rou said, "Father...how well do you know the Emperor? Although you began serving the late Emperor when you were young, are you sure that the current Emperor truly satisfies you?"

She had vaguely sensed from the previous incident in the Ministry of Justice that her father must know something. Now that she thought about it, it was indeed the case.

It’s just that people under the eaves have to bow their heads.

Su Wan made a silent gesture and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back home."

When they arrived at the general's mansion, Su Rou was almost starving.

She had been taking the test at Xuanwu Gate for a whole day today, and it was really taking her life.

The servants in the mansion had already prepared dinner.

Su Rou stepped over the threshold, rubbed her hands randomly on her body, and wanted to pick up a piece of braised fish to fill her stomach first, but her hands were out of control and the braised fish fell from the plate onto the table.

Su Wan came in from behind, "Arou, go wash your face and refresh yourself before eating."

Su Rou silently withdrew her hand, "Okay..."

She was afraid that Su Wan would see it, so she didn't dare show it too obviously.

After holding that big knife today, her arms felt as if Xie Yuan had severed their tendons again...

Su Wan added, "The Emperor has arranged a night banquet in the palace to allow the martial arts examinees who passed the exam today to appear before him for the first time. Ah Rou, go wash up. This time, your father will go with you personally. I don't believe the gatekeeper will be able to prevent me from entering."

Su Rou returned to the courtyard. She knew that the emperor would hold a banquet in the palace on the night of the martial arts examination because something like this had happened in her previous life.

so……

Su Rou had already decided to set Xie Yuan's death date tonight.

Su Rou's hands were trembling as she supported herself on the table. However, her relationship with Xie Yuan had become so strained recently that she was already having a headache during the assessment about how to approach him after entering the palace tonight.

Su Rou ate something simple, changed her clothes and combed her hair with the help of her maid.

Su Wan had already asked for the carriage to be ready outside the door.

Su Wan leaned against the carriage, and when he saw her coming, he let go of his arms.

"Arou, I have to inconvenience you a little. You have to take a carriage by yourself."

There are many rules for night banquets in the palace. Su Rou cannot appear in front of everyone with Su Wan and get off the same carriage.

A charming voice came from the carriage in front, "Miss Di, why are you taking so long to get dressed? Hurry up and get in the carriage. General, come quickly, we should set off."

Su Rou paused for a moment. Her father appeared at the night banquet in the palace, and he was accompanied by a lady.

Dad actually brought Jiang...

Su Rou climbed onto the carriage, a look of loneliness in her eyes. "I was thinking that my father would ask my mother to come with him tonight."

She was the one who won the title of military scholar, and the person who should have been brought in was her mother, not this lady who had nothing to do with her.

Su Wan wanted to explain.

Su Rou went straight into the carriage.

She knew that there was a rule in the North that when a husband went out, the wife he brought with him must be the eldest wife.

She has selfish motives...

She also hoped that her mother could be more favored by her father.

This damn Northern Kingdom has so many rules! It deserves to be destroyed by Gong Yu.

The carriage arrived at the palace. Su Rou was standing on the carriage and was about to jump off when a hand reached out from the side.

Gong Yu's dark eyes were bright, "You should be more ladylike."

"Pa" Su Wan appeared in time and slapped Gong Yu's hand back.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, please don't worry about my little girl."

Su Rou said, "Father, please ask Prince Yu to accompany me."

She put her hand on Gong Yu's hand and jumped off the carriage.

Su Wan followed up from behind, "Arou, are you still angry with your father? Your father didn't mean to not bring your mother here, but you know the relationship between your mother and the queen..."
