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

When Su brought the osmanthus cake over, Su Rou directly pinched a piece from the plate and put it in her mouth.

The maidservant following the queen said again, "The queen hasn't even opened her mouth yet, how can you..."

The Queen raised her hand, interrupting the maid's next words, "Let her eat. Captain Su has devoted himself to the Emperor. What's wrong with me asking her to eat two pieces of cake?"

Su Rou said, "The Queen Mother also eats it. My mother's cooking skills are always very good."

The queen pinched a piece and ate it in an elegant manner.

Su Rou pinched a piece and stuffed it into Su Shi's pocket. "Mother, try it. The osmanthus candy in the palace is different from the one in the mansion."

Su was stunned, and her expression said it all. She didn't expect her to be so casual in the palace.

Su Rou ate two pieces, then patted the osmanthus powder on her hands and said, "I have eaten the cake, so I will take my leave now."

The queen didn't look up at her, but waved her hand, indicating that she should go.

Su Rou and Su were walking on the path back to the palace gate. Su grabbed her hand and came over from the side.

"Arou, why did the Empress' attitude change so drastically just now? Did you promise something? I just hope you can be safe and sound, and don't let the trouble I caused you cause you to suffer."

Su Rou soothed Su's heart, "No, I just analyzed the interests involved with the Queen. The Queen thought my words made sense, and then she knew that she was blaming you."

The incident of falling into the water was just a small matter. If you think about the queen's thoughts from another perspective, they are actually very simple.

Her mother was a woman who seldom entered the palace on weekdays, and she had little chance of contact with the Empress and the Third Princess.

A Niang had no reason to frame the third princess.

Therefore, it is obvious that this matter was all done by Jiang alone.

The queen didn't know about the feud between her and Xie Yuan, so naturally she didn't know that she was being used by her.

In this business, as long as she doesn't lose money, it's fine.

Su's face was filled with sorrow, and the two of them planned to get on the carriage and leave.

Su Rou's entire body was carried back.

Gong Yu held her waist and said, "Madam, can you ask her to accompany me back home? I've been missing Miss Su very much lately."

Gong Yu appeared behind them at some point.

Su Rou looked at his face and sneered.

"Come on, you will miss me? Mother, forget about him, let's go." She took a step forward and was about to climb onto the carriage.

The hand that Gong Yu was holding her with didn't move at all.

Su Rou looked back and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Su was afraid that the two of them would start fighting again, so she simply said, "Arou, you can talk to His Royal Highness Prince Yu. I think you just returned to the capital, and His Royal Highness Prince Yu is also very worried about your safety."

Su Rou said, "No, mother, you..."

Gong Yu pulled her back a step and said, "Madam, take care. I will send her back safely later."

Su Rou and Gong Yu watched Su's carriage leave.

She raised her head. She hadn't said anything the whole time! And just like that, it was decided whether she would stay or go?!

Oh...A-niang seemed to have expressed to her before that she was very satisfied with Gong Yu.

Su Rou said, "Okay, my mother left me here, what does Prince Yu want me to do with you? I should be able to compensate you for everything except the couch."

Gong Yu lowered his eyes and sneered, "What's in your head? If I really asked you to sleep with me, would you agree?"

Su Rou looked disdainful and said, "You think it's weird."

Su Rou walked towards Gong Yu's carriage and climbed up consciously.

The carriage was shaking. Gong Yu looked at her and said, "You went to the South Country?"

Su Rou's body stiffened. She had never told anyone about this except her third brother. How did Gong Yu know about it?

Su Rou said, "I didn't. I just went to the border and didn't continue to the South Country."

Gong Yu looked at her suddenly, as if he wanted to find some hole in her face.

Su Rou met his gaze directly. "What are you doing? Are you worried that I'll go to the South Country to investigate you?"

As if she had hit the mark, Gong Yu looked away and said, "No, I just wanted to take a closer look at you."

Su Rou curled her lips. She knew that Gong Yu's identity was a sensitive topic.

When the carriage arrived outside Prince Yu's mansion, Su Rou jumped off and asked, "You haven't done anything all day, why do you often go to see the emperor?"

And she would almost run into him every time she entered the palace.

Gong Yu said, "The emperor is concerned about my health, so he sends people to bring me to the palace every now and then."

Su Rou frowned. Was it because she was worried about him, or because she wanted to keep an eye on him all the time?

Su Rou's stomach growled at an inopportune moment. "I'm a little hungry. I just ate a few pieces of osmanthus cake in the palace."

Gong Yu ordered the servants in the mansion to prepare food, "How can you still be hungry after eating osmanthus cake?"

Su Rou glared at him fiercely, "That sweet-scented osmanthus cake isn't something that can satisfy your hunger..."

"How come the General's Mansion didn't prepare any food to welcome you?"

She had eaten before entering the palace, and after traveling from the General's Mansion to the Palace, and then to Prince Yu's Mansion, she must be starving...

Su Rou was full and the table was a mess.

Gong Yu frowned, and it was unclear whether his expression was disgust or helplessness. He saw Su Rou lying on the table, walked over to her, and just as he was about to call her, he found that Su Rou had fallen asleep.

The woman's face is fair and delicate.

Gong Yu thought: She is so bold that she could actually fall asleep in a man's house. She came here because she might have doubted my identity. But looking at her appearance, she is the same as before, and there is no clue at all.

A strand of his hair fell down and landed on Su Rou's face.

Su Rou woke up from her coma and stretched herself, "Hmm..."

Gong Yu's face darkened and he quickly distanced himself from her, "Come out when you wake up."

Su Rou yawned, "What?"

Wait, he seemed to be standing next to her just now.

She raised her hand and touched her face, checking if it was safe and sound. Gong Yu wouldn't take advantage of her and do anything to her, right?

Gong Yu leaned against the threshold of the dining hall, and a bustling sound came from outside the door.

Su Rou stood up and went to check, "What is this?"

In the courtyard, there is a huge flower stand with fresh soil underneath, but there is no sign of flowers yet.

Gong Yu said, "The last time I went to the General's Mansion, I saw the wisteria planted in the courtyard. It was beautiful and pleasing to the eye, so I wanted to give you a bunch of flowers."

Su Rou asked, "What kind of flower is this?"

Gong Yu said, "I won't tell you for now. I'll send it to the General's Mansion and plant it in your yard. From now on, you can see it whenever you return to the yard. When you see it, you'll remember me."

Su Rou: “…”

The romanticism of literati and scholars is really not suitable for Gong Yu.

She knew what kind of person Gong Yu was.

Su Rou looked at him, "Do you like me?"

"Oh no, that's not right. I need to ask it another way. If you have other intentions, you don't need to express it to me like this."
