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

The old woman still wanted to go, but was rejected by Su Rou.

Su Rou put on a thicker shawl on her shoulders, and Xie Yuan's carriage was quietly parked outside the general's mansion.

Xie Yuan's eunuch stood respectfully aside, "Miss Su, His Highness has been waiting for a long time."

Su Rou responded muffledly and climbed onto the carriage.

In the dim carriage, Su Rou noticed that Xie Yuan's eyes were always on her.

The two of them were silent. They had grown up together, but now they were as unfamiliar as strangers who had just met.

Xie Yuan's voice broke the awkward atmosphere.

"You dare to follow me out of the house at night? Aren't you afraid of what I might do to you?"

In the dim light, Su Rou slightly opened her half-drowsy eyes. "I think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be so foolish as to let those few idiots around him come and fight me, don't you think?"

There was silence on Xie Yuan's end.

Su Rou was surprised. Could it be that Xie Yuan really intended to do that?

Last time, Gong Yu threw her into the lake. What was so attractive about the lake to Gong Yu and Xie Yuan...?

Su Rou was puzzled.

But it doesn't matter, you'll know once you get there.

Xie Yuan added, "I thought you cared a lot about your supposed chastity, but it turns out you're just a slut."

Slut?

Su Rou was no longer sleepy. She looked at Xie Yuan and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince used these words to describe me. It shows that my ability is not as good as any of the generals in the palace. Your Highness the Crown Prince did not say this when he came to my general's mansion with the betrothal gifts."

It's definitely Xie Yuan who wants to destroy what he can't get.

"Bang!" A muffled sound and a pain came from the back of Su Rou's head.

Xie Yuan's arm was against her neck, and his whole body was pressed on her.

Taking advantage of the moonlight shining in from outside the window frame, Su Rou saw Xie Yuan's expression, which looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Wow, this was the first time she saw Xie Yuan wanting to kill her.

In the past and present lives, whenever Xie Yuan was with Chang Xi, he always looked at her with an indifferent expression.

Su Rou said, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to kill me? I'm so scared..."

Although she said she was afraid, there was a smile on her face.

There was something comforting about that smile.

Xie Yuan didn't dare to attack her. Maybe he did in the past, but he definitely didn't dare now.

If anything happened to her, the emperor and the general's office would definitely suspect him, the crown prince.

So Su Rou was not panicked at all.

Xie Yuan said, "Why aren't you afraid? You were flirting with Prince Yu in public today, so it's no wonder you rejected me. Is it because of him that you've become so distant from me lately?"

Su Rou has already died once, why should she be afraid?

Su Rou raised her foot and kicked Xie Yuan away. She got up from the ground and moved her neck.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Su Rou rushed out of the carriage and went to help Xie Yuan who was kicked out by her.

The coachman who was driving the carriage turned around to glance at Su Rou and said with a strange look in his eyes, "Miss Su."

Su Rou asked the groom, "Why did His Royal Highness take me to the lake originally?"

Xie Yuan cursed, "Don't tell her! If she has the guts, she'll kick us off the carriage."

Su Rou smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince did remind me."

"Bang" two figures fell from the moving carriage.

Su Rou tightened the reins and drove the carriage away leisurely.

She looked at Xie Yuan, who had disappeared from her sight behind her, and smiled smugly.

The bastard is trying to play tricks on her.

When she reached the lake, Su Rou did not continue to walk inside.

She threw Xie Yuan's wheelchair, which was placed on the carriage, directly into the lake.

In the silent night, the sound of someone falling into the water seemed extremely abrupt.

Su Rou turned around and paused.

"What are you doing here so late at night?"

Su Rou looked at Gong Yu in front of her.

Gong Yu leaned against the tree trunk and said, "I heard your conversation with the Crown Prince today. I was afraid that he might be plotting against you, so I wanted to come over and take a look. But now, you've killed the Crown Prince?"

Su Rou waved her hand, "Who knows? I'm leaving."

Gong Yu held her hand and said, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. I'm all alone in this desolate wilderness. Captain Su happens to have a carriage. Why don't you take me back?"

Su Rou wanted to pull it back, but he held her even tighter, intertwining their fingers!

"Get out of here, or I'll leave you here alone!"

Gong Yu said, "Captain Su won't do that. After all, leaving me here is like murdering a member of the royal family. If something happens to me, and the emperor blames Captain Su for being a bad guard..."

Su Rou scolded, "Why do you have to cling to me... Besides, it wasn't me who asked you to come here by yourself today!"

Gong Yu said, "Captain Su is truly heartless."

Su Rou gritted her teeth and pulled him towards the carriage, "Come on, get in the carriage, I'll take you back home."

Gong Yu didn't know what was going on. "So reluctant? Then I still can't let myself get bored. I won't go back. I'll sleep by the lake tonight."

Su Rou: “…”

He did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose.

Su Rou grabbed Gong Yu's hand and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu, get in the carriage. I will take you back!"

Gong Yu seemed satisfied, with a triumphant smile in his eyes, "Thank you so much."

Su Rou sat in the front driving the carriage, and Gong Yu did not go in, but sat beside her to accompany her.

Gong Yu asked her, "Why don't you take this shorter route?"

Su Rou deliberately made a detour, "I kicked the Crown Prince and his groom off the carriage on that road. Do you want to go down and accompany them too?"

Gong Yu laughed, "You are truly different from other women. How dare you bully the Crown Prince?"

Su Rou curled her lips in disgust, "This bastard prince is trying to murder me. This is justified self-defense. If I had evidence, he wouldn't be the prince."

Gong Yu said, "Why are you telling me this? No matter who you are, you shouldn't trust me so much."

Su Rou knew that what he wanted to talk about was the identity between people from the North and the South.

Su Rou looked at his face seriously. "You're not from the North, so what if I tell you my feelings? And you, as a Southerner, don't you also hope that the South can one day conquer the North?"

The evening wind whistled past.

Gong Yu's voice rang out from the side, "Do the people of the South really want the North to be destroyed? Maybe I'm a good person."

Su Rou didn't say anything, she knew Gong Yu was lying.

Sure enough, Gong Yu's trust in her was all fake.

Gong Yu said, "Don't worry, I will help you keep the secret."

Su Rou smiled, "Okay."

Gong Yu's love for her was all fake.

She was not worried that her words would become a handle. On the one hand, she needed evidence, and on the other hand, Gong Yu would also suspect whether she was testing his loyalty to the Northern Kingdom.

No matter what happens in the future, it is an indisputable fact that Gong Yu will lead his troops to conquer the Northern Kingdom.

Arrived outside Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Su Rou prepared to turn around and go back home.

Gong Yu stood on the steps and turned to look at her. "It's too late today. Do you want to stay? We have guest rooms for you. If all else fails... I can give you my room."
