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

Su Rou glanced behind her and saw Gong Yu's figure looming behind the screen.

Su Rou said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't behave recklessly in the future. You are already an adult now, and it's all because of Su Wan who spoiled you."

Su Rou bowed respectfully, "I know I was wrong."

The moment Su Rou and Gong Yu passed each other, Gong Yu took a step to the side and stood in front of her tightly.

If Su Rou walked to the left, Gong Yu would walk to the right, just to block her.

Su Rou suddenly raised her head, "A good dog doesn't block the road! Are you not going to back me up now that you're targeting me?"

Gong Yu smiled, "The girl went to the border, and when she came back, her face looked much darker."

Su Rou raised her foot and kicked him on the leg, "Get out."

She took the opportunity to leave, and Su had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Su Rou walked down the stairs, "Mother, let's go."

"Captain Su, Madam Su, the Queen would like to invite you two over to reminisce about the past." A palace maid stepped forward.

Su Rou nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that we also want to go and pay our respects to the Queen."

It seems that the queen can no longer sit still.

The queen's bedroom was magnificent, with rare and exotic plants in the yard. There were even butterflies that flew in from nowhere and were flapping their wings in the grass.

"It came quickly."

Su Rou and Su Shi bowed together.

The Queen looked at Su Rou and asked, "You just returned to the capital today? You came to the palace to see the Emperor so soon. I thought—"

"I thought you were afraid to come because you hurt an elder of our family before."

Su Rou had a blank expression on her face. "Empress, I didn't do those things to the elders of the Jiang family. Why don't I dare to come and see you?"

Anyway, it wasn't her who did it.

She had thought about taking advantage of the Queen a while ago. The relationship between the Queen and Xie Yuan was there, so she didn't have to put in too much effort.

The Queen sneered, "You are so upright that you have nothing to fear from your own shadow."

Su Rou said, "If Her Majesty the Queen believes that I did this, why not just send someone to bring me here? Why bother sending someone to come and invite me?"

Even if the Queen determined it was her without evidence, she would still lack confidence...

This woman who is the mother of the country is different from others. Her eyes are very similar to Jiang's, but she is much more beautiful than Jiang.

Su knelt beside him without saying a word.

Su Rou looked over and helped Su up.

After all, A'niang had been trapped in the deep courtyard for too long, so she said that she didn't want A'niang to come with her. Now she is scared, and her momentum is suddenly crushed by the queen.

The Queen said, "It is you, my mother, who have some conscience and have come to me to apologize for your crime."

Su Rou said, "Empress, I suddenly want to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes made by my mother. Can I ask my mother to borrow the imperial kitchen to make two sweet-scented osmanthus cakes? It would be wonderful if the Empress and I could have a cup of tea and discuss this together."

The young maidservant beside the Queen shouted angrily, "How dare you! Where do you think you are? You are not allowed to act wildly in front of the Queen!"

Su Rou's clothes were tugged by Su Shi, "Queen, please forgive me, Ah Rou, please don't be so rude."

Su Rou said, "It's just a sweet-scented osmanthus cake. How can the Queen be so stingy in such a big palace?"

The Queen was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. "You! Come, take her away. I will obey Captain Su and give her all the delicious food in the palace!"

Su looked at Su Rou with a worried look on her face.

She smiled and waved at Su, "Go ahead, mother. Your Majesty is so generous, so please give her enough."

After Su left, the queen said, "Speak now, the person has already left."

Su Rou said, "The incident that happened when the sun set in the water was not my mother's intention. It was you, the queen. Why don't you question whether someone in your family has ulterior motives?"

The Queen frowned, "You want to say it was Jiang's doing? Why should I believe you? Besides, you beat my ancestors in the mansion that day, and you stepped on my head!"

The queen slammed the stone table and looked so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Su Rou said, "I did beat up those old men that day, but some of them died, some were injured, and it really had nothing to do with me. Your Majesty can't leave the palace at will now, and I'm afraid you can't investigate this matter openly. If my guess is correct, the Emperor should not care about this matter at all, right?"

The Queen's reaction showed that she was right.

The elders of the Jiang family were killed, and only one survived. How could the emperor be angry about weakening the Jiang family in this way?

The Queen said, "Just tell me what you want."

Su Rou said, "I don't want anything. In order to reach a consensus with you, the Queen, I can help you pull Xie Yuan down from the position of Crown Prince. As for you, I remember you have a one-year-old prince..."

What she did was called killing with a borrowed knife. With the help of the General's Mansion, she didn't believe that the Queen would not be tempted to let her own son be the crown prince.

The Queen said, "I heard a while ago that you rejected Xie Yuan's proposal of marriage. I was wondering if you were playing hard to get. I didn't expect you to actually break up with Xie Yuan. Why are you helping me? Even if you don't want to marry Xie Yuan, he's not worth your cruelty."

Su Rou said, "You and I are definitely not the only ones in the court who think this way. Xie Yuan doesn't look like a prince. There's a saying that goes, even if he wears the dragon robe, he doesn't look like the prince of the prince~"

Because of the death of those old men, the Jiang family's power in the court must have been shaken, and the queen would not refuse her.

Su Rou added, "But if I really want something, I just hope to get a guarantee from the Queen."

The Queen said, "Speak."

Su Rou said, "If Jiang is expelled from the General's Mansion, the Jiang family and you must not interfere."

The queen's identity is there. When those old men were in the general's mansion last time, they kept calling the queen bad. As long as the queen said a word, the Jiang family would definitely not help the Jiang family anymore.

The Queen said, "I accept."

Su Rou clasped her hands together and tilted her head slightly, "Then we are now grasshoppers on the same rope."

The Queen said, "How do you plan to pull Xie Yuan down? Besides... above my youngest son, there are more than twenty princes who have already reached the age of marriage. It's definitely not my youngest son's turn."

Su Rou said, "I have hinted to the Emperor more than once before that Xie Yuan is a loser. Your Majesty, don't worry. I have my own way."

Anyway, it doesn't matter who sits on the throne of the crown prince, they will all die on this land in the future.

The Queen looked at Su Rou. She made such a deal with me just to drive Jiang out of the General's Mansion. There was no need for her to go to such lengths. She didn't seem sincere at all.

Let's wait and see. With the support of the General's Mansion, those fence-sitters in the court will definitely follow the trend and turn to me.

Su Rou was sitting beside her and even humming a little tune.

The queen said, "Why don't you leave?"

Su Rou said innocently, "My mother hasn't made the osmanthus cake yet."

"I thought you were just looking for an excuse to get rid of the Su family."

Su Rou said, "It's true that I sent my mother away, and it's also true that I wanted to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

The queen sighed. Look at her. How can she be so shameless in front of the emperor?
