Gong Yu held her waist to prevent her from falling.

"Don't move, take your medicine."

Su Rou pointed at the medicine bowl in Gong Yu's hand and said, "I can do it myself."

Gong Yu handed the medicine bowl to her. Su Rou took it, put it under her nose and smelled it, then frowned.

Bitterness has no taste, it smells sour. She swallowed her saliva and decided to finish it and go back...

She tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.

My mouth is drooling from the bitterness!

She shrank her neck and leaned on Gong Yu's shoulder. "It's unpalatable. This bowl is enough for me, right? There's no more."

Gong Yu put down the medicine bowl and said, "No more."

Su Rou pretended to go down.

Gong Yu held her and wouldn't let her get off.

"The new prefect has been kneeling outside the door for an hour. Can you come out and meet him?"

Su Rou said, "I don't know you and I want to sleep for a while."

Gong Yu said, "He came here specifically to see you."

It was cold outside, and Gong Yu was reluctant to let Su Rou go out in the cold, so he called the prefect in.

Su Rou's appearance could be seen through a screen, but this was done to avoid offending the hostess.

The prefect knelt outside the door and walked into the house with a sincere attitude.

Su Rou said, "I have never seen you before. Why did you come to see me?"

The prefect's head seemed to be growing on the ground, and he didn't dare to look up at her. "Yesterday, Aunt... No, yesterday, Master Su went to the back mountain and encountered the constables from the Jingzhou government office. Master Su even got into a fight with them. I came here today because of this matter."

Su Rou sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her legs, and asked, "Are you going to arrest me?"

"I dare not. I only came to apologize to you, sir. The government office in Jingzhou, Duan Ran, has made a decision, saying that you are a murderer. I have already ordered them to be punished, and the death of the old monk in the temple has been thoroughly investigated."

Gong Yu handed her a piece of cake. Su Rou took a bite and spoke vaguely.

"Tell me the results of your investigation."

"The old monk was originally the abbot of the temple. He fled to Jingzhou a few years ago and started doing charity work on the temple mountain. He took in two refugees who were also refugees. The two refugees shaved their heads and became monks in the temple. They followed the old monk in doing charity work, but over time, they became dissatisfied with their current lives and took money from many people who came to the temple to pray. When the old monk found out, he persuaded them to do charity work. The two monks didn't want to be monks anymore and wanted to kill the old monk. It just so happened that the temple's incense was not as popular as before, and you happened to go up the mountain yesterday, so they caught them."

Su Rou devoured the cake in a few bites. "Did those two little monks bribe the government officials in Jingzhou City?"

The prefect was lying on the ground, hesitating and seemed to have something to hide.

Su Rou said, "Yes or no."

The prefect was defeated and said, "Yes..."

Su Rou said, "Anyone I beat yesterday will be asked to resign from the government. Since it's a government office, if we can't treat everyone equally, then we must be fair. I will recommend people to fill the gaps in their staff later."

The prefect nodded and said, "Thank you for your grace, sir."

After the prefect left, Su Rou collapsed on the bed.

After she took over Jingzhou City, she used a backdoor to become the governor of Jingzhou, but she didn't stay in Jingzhou for long, so the officials in Jingzhou City didn't recognize her.

Gong Yu said, "I've been a female military commander, and now I'm a female official. What else do you want to do?"

Su Rou waved her hand. "I don't care. I just want to live a good life and be an ordinary person."

"Tsk" Gong Yu's chuckle came to her ears. Su Rou frowned and sat up straight.

"laugh at me?"

Gong Yu nodded, "Well, I didn't expect you to have such a wish..."

Su Rou said, "My wish is very ordinary."

Gong Yu said, "It's a bit difficult for us."

Su Rou sighed secretly in her heart. Of course she knew it, otherwise she should have let her father and the entire Su family live a comfortable life after destroying the Northern Kingdom.

Su Rou sat up and said, "Well, I'll go back first."

Whenever Su Rou saw Gong Yu, she would think of the child in her belly...

She still hasn't figured it out.

So it’s better to avoid Gong Yu.

Almost every time she saw Gong Yu within her sight, she would want to say those words to him again.

But the result is the same, Gong Yu will only get angrier...

Su Rou thought Gong Yu would agree, but she didn't expect him to say that.

"Stay here. If you want the poisonous woman to perform an abortion for you, I will send someone to call her over. You stay with me. I can take good care of you."

Su Rou said, "Don't you think it's annoying that I see you?"

Gong Yu said, "Are you annoying me?"

Su Rou shook her head, "I just feel that you... Never mind, it's okay, I don't find you annoying."

She was afraid that Gong Yu would get angry, so she tried to avoid the topic.

Su Rou hadn't slept with Gong Yu for quite some time, and she was really a little uncomfortable with it.

She lay on Gong Yu's bed, eating and sleeping, and gained some weight.

At night, Su Rou noticed that Gong Yu got up and went out, and there seemed to be someone waiting outside the door.

Gong Yu spoke to him in a low voice for a few moments, then went out with the cloak.

Despite feeling sleepy, Su Rou got up from the bed, wrapped herself in a cloak and hurried after him.

"Gong Yu, where are you going?"

Gong Yu, who had already walked down the stairs, turned around and said, "Did I wake you up? Go back to sleep. Something happened. I'll go check it out."

Su Rou walked down the stairs and said, "I'll go with you."

Gong Yu said, "Go back to sleep."

Gong Yu was firm in his attitude, but Su Rou refused to give in.

"I'm fine. I'll go with you to take a look."

A hand attacked from behind and hit Su Rou on the back of the neck.

She turned her head and found that the person who hit her was Huang Liao.

Huang Liao nervously looked at his hands, then at Su Rou. No, why didn't he knock her out?!

Su Rou punched Huang Liao on the head, "Why are you hitting me?"

Huang Liao covered his head, looking as if he had been beaten and frightened. "I was wrong, I was wrong. Please don't blame me, young lady."

"Pa" Gong Yu's hand blade hit Su Rou on the back of her neck.

Her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness instantly. As she fell, she was caught by Gong Yu.

Gong Yu picked her up and carried her back into the house.

Huang Liao said, "General, do we really want to keep Miss Su here?"

Gong Yu said, "I have already sent someone to the governor's mansion to ask the poisonous woman to come and guard her."

Huang Liao laughed and said, "When the girl wakes up and sees we're not here, she'll probably start making trouble again."

Su Rou is pregnant, and Gong Yu would never let her get involved in Eastern affairs while pregnant.

Su Rou slept until noon the next day.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the old woman sitting next to her.

"Girl, you're awake."

Su Rou blinked, "I'm awake, why am I here..."

She sat up dazedly and suddenly remembered that before she passed out, Gong Yu attacked her from behind and knocked her unconscious.

"Where's Gong Yu? He actually knocked me out and left me here and walked away."

The old woman said, "The general had something important to do, so he left with his men. However, before he left, he instructed that if he didn't return within three days, he would escort you and General Su back to the Southern Kingdom."

Su Rou said, "He's clearly ready to die. Where did he go? You have to tell me this. Putting aside other things, why did Gong Yu leave me here alone?"

The old woman said calmly, "Because of the child in your belly."

Su Rou grabbed the old woman's clothes and said, "Then get rid of it. I don't want it anymore!"

The old woman held Su Rou's hand and said, "Girl, you are pregnant and your emotions are easily excited, but you have to control yourself first. Why do you want to go find His Royal Highness Prince Yu now? His Royal Highness Prince Yu's life or death has nothing to do with you... You are already emotionally broken now..."

Su Rou didn't even realize when she started crying.

This dead child in her belly has brought her unnecessary troubles...

"girl……"

Su Rou said, "I want to be alone for a while, you can go out first, you don't have to watch over me."

The old woman looked at Su Rou with eyes full of heartache, not knowing how to start.

The old woman was driven out directly and looked at the closed door, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Gong Yu came back on the third night. He was covered in blood, and the blood on his armor made it shine.

He took off his breastplate and handed it to Huang Liao.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, please go see the girl first."
