Su Rou didn't want to upset Su Chi either, so she nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Third Brother. I'm the most obedient person in the whole family."

Su Chi frowned slightly, "In the whole family, you are the most disobedient."

Su Rou laughed foolishly twice.

When she returned, the maid in the mansion came forward quickly and said, "Young Madam, the general wants to see you."

Su Rou said, "He's looking for me?"

Turning to look at Su Chi behind her, she said, "Third brother, go back to your room and rest first. I'll go check on Gong Yuanzhi."

Su Chi responded.

"You are injured and can't move. Why don't you stay in bed and rest? Why did you call me here?" Su Rou strode over the threshold. Gong Yuanzhi was still lying on the bed.

Gong Yuanzhi said, "I specifically asked the maid to wait for you to come back. Yu'er sent a letter back, but I think it seems to have been opened after entering the capital."

Su Rou saw the letter on the table.

"Opened it? Since you can find it, let alone me, you can say such a thing, isn't it because you have already guessed who it is?"

She walked forward and picked up the letter.

Who else can intercept the letter from the Gong family?

It should be just that old guy.

Su Rou asked, "Who sent this letter back?"

Gong Yuanzhi said, "A spy beside Yu'er."

She glanced at the contents of the letter and found only four words.

Take good care of her.

Su Rou frowned. Who is taking care of whom? The person lying here is Gong Yuanzhi.

Did something happen to Gong Yu? Is it necessary to send a letter back home just to say this to Gong Yuanzhi?

Su Rou said, "There may be another unexpected event next. I don't know what news he received on the battlefield, but it's better to be careful."

Gong Yuanzhi said, "You should stay in the mansion these days and don't run around."

The third brother told her not to go out, and now Gong Yuanzhi won't let her go either.

Su Rou said, "I go out of the house to do business, not to cause trouble. Why are you two unwilling to let me go out?"

Gong Yuanzhi's voice was filled with helplessness, "What you did is no different from getting into trouble..."

Su Rou heard it.

She took the letter and went to sit beside the bed.

Gong Yuanzhi, who was lying on top, became nervous unconsciously.

"What do you want to do?"

Su Rou said, "I won't do anything to you, why are you so scared?"

Gong Yuanzhi said, "I'm telling the truth. If you're unhappy, I can't beat you with my body. If you attack me, I can't run away. How can I not be afraid?"

Gong Yuanzhi is honest and simple, and speaks the truth.

Su Rou sighed, "Gong Yu and I have sworn allegiance to heaven and earth, and we are truly husband and wife. Although I haven't sworn allegiance to you and Madam Gong yet, I still treat you as my father-in-law. I won't lay a hand on you, and I will even protect you as I would the Su family."

"What's more, I'm such a weak woman, why would you, a great general of the Southern Kingdom, be afraid of me?"

Gong Yuanzhi's voice was filled with helplessness, "Tell me first, where are you weak?"

Su Rou said, "How am I not weak?"

Gong Yuanzhi was speechless.

Su Rou stood up and said, "Just take good care of yourself these few days. Unless something happens again, I won't leave the house. Don't worry~"

When Gong Yuanzhi heard Su Rou say not to worry, he felt even more worried.

A few days later, the eleventh prince sent someone to invite her to join the hunting trip.

All the princes will go.

Except for the unmarried princes, all the married ones brought their wives with them.

More than a dozen luxurious carriages crowded in the woods.

As soon as Su Rou got off the carriage, the eleventh prince came over happily with a bow and arrow in his hand.

"Master!"

Su Rou said, "Your Highness is in high spirits today and looks like he can catch a lot of prey."

The eleventh prince said, "Whatever Master wants, I will give him back."

Su Rou said, "Let's kill a bear and bring it back. I just need a bear skin to stand on."

The Eleventh Prince was stunned for a moment. "Master, you really dare to ask for it! Do you see any bears in this forest?"

Su Rou also smiled and said, "If that is true, Your Highness, are you willing to help me fight it back?"

The Eleventh Prince then realized that she was joking with him.

He nodded, "Of course I'm willing, but with Yin Yun's ability, it's still a bit difficult to beat a bear."

The two chatted as they walked, and as they walked, the other princes had basically arrived.

A prince who was older than the eleventh prince was accompanied by a young woman and surrounded by countless court ministers.

The eleventh prince saw them and saluted respectfully, "Eighth brother, Eighth sister-in-law."

Su Rou still stood in front of the Eleventh Prince without moving.

She didn't even bow in front of the emperor, let alone the prince.

The woman beside the prince glanced at Su Rou and said, "How dare a mere woman be so presumptuous in front of the prince?"

Su Rou saw that the dusty memories in the eighth prince's mind were gradually emerging.

She remembered that when she escorted Gong Yu back to the Southern Kingdom, she had met the Eighth Prince and the Eleventh Prince in front of her.

It was just that the Eleventh Prince was just a little kid with a big nose at first, but when they met later, he had grown up quite a bit, so she didn't recognize him at first...

That night, when they said their northern soldiers stole their southern money...

At that time, the eighth prince had just come of age and the childishness on his face had not yet faded. Now he is married?

Thinking of this, Su Rou felt that she and the Eleventh Prince were destined to be together.

Su Rou felt a little emotional. She was really getting old. Time passed so quickly.

In fact, Su Rou is only in her early twenties now...

Su Rou seemed to have not heard what the Eighth Prince's wife said at all, and was still sighing at how fast these two people grew up.

The Eleventh Prince frowned, "Eighth Sister-in-law, although my master is a woman, she is different from ordinary women. She doesn't show courtesy, which is her usual style. I hope Eighth Sister-in-law won't make a fuss with Master Song."

"Those who don't know the difference between respect and inferiority, and have no manners and upbringing, are simply those who have no manners and upbringing."

"you!"

"I've heard that Master Xiao Shiyi is able to defeat Lord Shang. She is indeed not an ordinary woman."

Su Rou came back to her senses a little.

"Isn't today's party organized by the princes? It's just a joke between brothers. What is the Eighth Prince doing?" Su Rou pointed at a group of civil and military officials behind them.

"Are you worried that it would be embarrassing if you didn't catch as many prey as the other princes, so you brought so many people here to show off?"

A crisp "pop" sound broke the tranquility in the forest.

The Eleventh Prince stood in front of Su Rou, he turned his face away and received a slap mark on his face.

Su Rou could actually dodge it, but she deliberately didn't.

I want to see the relationship between the Eighth Prince and the Eleventh Prince...

Didn’t it look good before?

Now it seems that something is not right.

The Eighth Prince looked at the Eleventh Prince worriedly, "Are you okay?"

The Eleventh Prince deliberately avoided the hand he extended. "Eighth Brother, my master is very outspoken. Please don't blame her."

The Eighth Prince looked at the Eighth Prince's wife and said, "Apologize to Little Eleven. I shouldn't have brought you out today!"

"What are you guys doing?" A voice broke the awkward atmosphere.

Another man in a fox fur coat walked over.

The jade pendant exposed on his waist shows his social status.

Su Rou took a glance.

Another prince.

That old thing is fertile, but he hasn't appointed a crown prince yet.

It seems that what she thought was right.

Hunting in the middle of winter is not only to enhance the relationship between brothers, but also for the position of crown prince.

And those ministers probably have this role.

Even though they have already lined up in advance, there is no guarantee that there will be fence-sitters.

The fight between the princes would inevitably reach the ears of that old man.

It doesn't matter who wins or loses in the end, the old man will care more about the process...

If Su Rou wants to support the eleventh prince to ascend to the throne, she must win over others.

What a joke.

She doesn't have the energy to support an emperor.

It is more satisfying and faster to crush them directly with force.

Su Rou took out a handkerchief and rubbed the Eleventh Prince's cheek, "Before the hunt, Your Highness, go to the river, wet the handkerchief, and wipe your face."

The forest was bare and covered with snow in winter, and the water near the river was freezing cold.

The Eleventh Prince grabbed Su Rou's sleeve and said, "Master, please come with me."

It seems that Su Rou won't be able to get along with them if she stays here.

Su Rou beckoned her hand, signaling the Eleventh Prince to follow.
