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

"A team appeared ahead, blocking General Su's path."

Su Rou looked over in confusion. Team?

How could there be a team in such a place, and they happened to appear near the capital? She guessed that the owner of this team must be rich or noble.

Yuan Wen said, "What happened? Why do you look so serious?"

Su Rou shook her head, "Nothing."

Half an hour later, Su Rou and Yuan Wen felt the carriage slowly start to move.

Su Rou opened the curtain and saw that the sun outside was scorching.

"I'll go downstairs. You stay in the carriage."

Yuan Wen pulled her sleeve and said, "I'll go with you."

Yuan Wen has been staying with her all the time these days and has become more and more attached to her.

Su Rou said jokingly, "You'd better forget it. Just stay up there. Otherwise, if your housekeeper sees you following me out to bask in the sun, he'll definitely feel sorry for you."

She had just leaned out halfway when a force pushed her back down on her head.

Su Chi hadn't known when he sat outside their carriage and replaced the coachman.

"go back."

Su Rou said, "Third brother, who was that just now?"

Su Chi said, "Prince."

Su Rou was stunned. Why was Xie Yuan here?

She found that Su Chi had changed his clothes into a set of coarse linen. She could no longer sit in Yuan Wen's carriage. If she continued to stay in it, she would only be able to live a life of luxury like a pampered young lady.

She had no idea what was going on outside...

Third brother changed his clothes because he definitely didn't want Xie Yuan's people to see him.

But returning to the capital secretly is not like the third brother's style.

Su Rou said, "Third brother..."

She wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Su Chi, "Do you still like him now?"

Su Rou said, "Why would Third Brother say that?"

She had liked Xie Yuan, but if no one had mentioned it to her, she would have forgotten it.

Su Chi glanced at her face, then quickly looked away, without saying a word from head to toe.

When they arrived in the capital, Yuan Wen separated from them.

Su Chi said, "If they follow, the emperor and the people will inevitably become suspicious."

How wealthy is Yuan Wen’s caravan?

Nine out of ten people in the world, even children playing on the street, have heard of it.

Su Chi lowered his eyes and glanced at Su Rou in his arms, "You left without saying goodbye this time. You should explain this to your father and mother."

Su Rou nodded, "But I clearly left a letter..."

She herself wasn't confident enough to say this.

She resorted to this desperate measure because she knew that if her father knew, he would definitely not agree to let her leave the capital alone.

When they arrived outside the general's mansion, Su Wan was the first to rush up and pick Su Rou off the horse.

"Arou, are you safe? Did anyone bully you when you were outside? The third brother said that you stayed at the border for a long time. There is nothing in that desolate place. Maybe you were not fed enough." After saying that, Su Wan glared fiercely at Su Chi who had just dismounted.

Su Chi said, "The border is just a desolate wilderness, not even a fraction of what's available in the capital. It's not like there's no food."

Su Rou's feet were in the air, and Su Wan held her in the air. "Third brother, you've been exchanging letters with father all this time, haven't you?"

Su Chi didn't answer.

Su Wan said, "Dad is worried about you too. What if you get hurt?"

Su Wan put her down and said, "Father calculated the date and knew that you would be arriving around now. He asked someone to prepare food. Go and have your meal. I'll ask the maid to give you a bath later."

Su Wan drove her into the gate.

Su Rou turned her head and saw Su Wan turning his head and scolding Su Chi, "Third brother, come here."

She smiled and ran out secretly. Her father was reluctant to scold her, but instead scolded her third brother who had sent her back.

She stepped over the threshold and smelled the tempting fragrance before entering the house.

The fourth lady, Mrs. Su, who was originally sitting at the table, stood up and called her, "Arou."

Su Rou said, "Mother, you also knew that I came back today and waited for me to have dinner together."

Su's face stiffened, "Ah... yes..."

Su Rou sensed something was wrong. Her mother was never so restrained when she was around her.

Su Rou sat down on the chair and said, "Mother, if you have something to say, just tell me."

She tore open a chicken drumstick on the table and took a bite.

The roast chicken at the border tastes similar to game. After eating it, I felt that the one in the capital was too bland.

Su also sat down, "Arou, mother... mother didn't mean it. That day, when I was out for a walk with the eldest lady, I accidentally ran into the queen and the third princess who were also there..."

Su Rou said, "Did the Queen or the Third Princess accidentally go into the water because of you?"

Su nodded slightly.

Su Rou: “…”

These three princesses were born to the queen, so she naturally loved them very much and took them with her wherever she went.

The women in the palace were more brutal than this, and the Queen had no reason to attack A Niang.

If it was because of the previous incident with the Jiang family, a quick investigation would have revealed that it was definitely not her doing.

First, she was staying in the mansion that day, and second, she had already beaten them up, so there was no reason for her to kill the entire Jiang family.

So this should be what Jiang did on purpose.

Su Rou said, "It's nothing. The Queen didn't blame you, did she?"

Su said, "But she said that if you come back, she will invite you to the palace to reminisce about the past."

A'niang was afraid that she would cause trouble for the Queen.

Su Rou smiled.

The Empress and Xie Yuan don't get along. Although Xie Yuan is now the Empress's daughter, who doesn't know what the Empress is thinking?

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. She can use this matter to reach a consensus with the Queen.

Su Rou said, "It's really nothing. I haven't visited the Empress for a while. Mother, I'll have my meal first. After I'm full, I'll go to the palace to see the Emperor and the Empress."

Her nonchalant attitude did not make Su feel at ease at all.

When Su Rou entered the palace, Su insisted on following her.

Su Rou went to see the emperor first. She knelt on the ground, looking as if she was admitting her mistake, but the emperor sitting on the dragon throne looked up to the sky and laughed.

"You really are bold and daring. You are a typical Su family member."

The reason she gave was that she missed her third brother, so she went to the border to bring Su Chi back.

She certainly couldn't say that she had been to the South.

Su Rou asked, "Will the emperor be angry?"

The emperor didn't dare.

After all, the third brother has made countless military achievements during the years he has been guarding the border. Now that the third brother is back, the Su family has to add more achievements.

Even if the emperor was angry that she didn't attend the morning court, he had to feel happy to see Su Chi.

The emperor got down from the dragon throne and walked to Su Rou. "Get up. I hope you won't be angry with me for what happened earlier."

What the emperor was referring to were probably the times when she was wronged.

To her, the emperor's words went in one ear and out the other. It was estimated that even the emperor himself would not remember saying such words until the next day.

Su Rou dusted herself off, "Emperor..."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Yu requests an audience." The voice from behind interrupted Su Rou's voice.
