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

Su Rou took a breath, and felt a familiar dull pain in the injured part of her chest.

She was really speechless about the Nineteenth Princess!

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again after a moment, all the emotions in his eyes had been suppressed, leaving only quiet determination.

She turned around and walked back to the desk, carefully folded the pieces of paper she had just shown to Princess Nineteen, and put them into her sleeve.

Then, she adjusted her slightly loose robe, smoothed out the non-existent wrinkles, and sat back in her seat quietly.

The nineteenth princess was originally going to marry Andre.

Now that Andre brought her back, he might have regarded her as a love rival.

Su Rou was speechless for a moment.

The force of holding the pen increased a lot.

The noise outside the hall grew louder and louder, with the sounds of footsteps, armor clashing, and respectful greetings mixed together and gradually approaching her direction.

She could hear the Nineteenth Princess's charming and delighted call: "Alie!"

And a deep voice with a smile that seemed to indicate a good mood.

"Why are you sweating so much?"

The footsteps stopped outside the palace gate.

Su Rou's heartbeat seemed to pause for a beat at that moment.

Andre came to see me right after he got back?!

The door curtain was suddenly pulled open by a large hand wearing a leather wristband.

The tall figure blocked the light from the doorway, casting an extremely oppressive shadow.

Andre stood there, looking exhausted. He was wearing a black royal riding suit with gold patterns, stained with the dust of war and the lingering murderous aura. His bronze face was angular, with a green stubble on his chin. His hawk-like eyes were as sharp as ever, and at this moment he was accurately capturing Su Rou sitting quietly in the hall.

The way Andre looked at her now was much more normal than before he sent her back.

Su Rou smiled faintly.

Knowing that she didn't lose her memory, Andre would probably be furious.

His gaze was as real as substance, sweeping from top to bottom, across her still pale but seemingly plumper cheeks.

It passed over the faint scar on her slender neck, and finally stopped at her eyes that were looking straight at him calmly.

"Is your throat recovered?" Andre strode in, his boots making a dull sound on the smooth stone floor.

Su Rou shook her head, indicating that she couldn't speak yet.

He ignored Princess Nineteen who was hesitant to speak and walked straight to Su Rou, looking down at her.

"During the time I've been away, Miss Su, have you been...quite comfortable?"

The atmosphere between the two people is a little subtle...

He was so domineering before and asked her to come to the desert. Now that he knows that she has not lost her memory, doesn’t he feel embarrassed, this bastard?

There was a hint of teasing in his voice, but there was no smile in the depths of his eyes. "You have some 'ideas' you want to discuss with me?"

Su Rou raised her head and met his oppressive gaze without flinching.

She slowly raised her hand, took out the neatly folded paper from her sleeve, and gently placed it on the table.

Then, she picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote a line of clear and calm desert words on a fresh piece of paper:

[The eastern desert is only retreating temporarily. Given time, they will surely find an opportunity to resurface. If we want to pacify the east, we don't have to rely solely on swords.]

She paused, raised her eyes and looked at Andre again, her eyes as calm as a deep pool, and continued to write:

[Perhaps I can save you some effort.]

The playful look on Andre's face gradually faded, and his sharp gaze moved from her eyes to the stack of papers on the table, and finally landed on the line of words with wet ink.

The air in the hall seemed to have completely frozen at this moment.

"Why do you say it's to help me? This is also beneficial to the South Country."

Su Rou wrote: [You have no choice.]

[Either cooperate with Nan Guo and me, or die.]
