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

What made her happy was what the emperor did.

Su Rou asked, "Will the Emperor come today?"

The maid shook her head, "I don't know."

If the emperor came, she would have to be tactful and find a deserted place to hide.

The emperor favored Xie Yuan because Xie Yuan's biological mother was originally the emperor's crown princess, but not a formal one.

She was brought back from the people by the emperor, and her origin was unknown. In her impression, the emperor went to great lengths to make this former queen the crown princess against all odds.

This shows the emperor's love for Xie Yuan's biological mother.

But unfortunately, the emperor's excessive doting turned Xie Yuan into a waste from the root.

Su Rou took a bite of the apple and looked at the man in the dark black robe on the field. "Who is that? He looks gentle and refined, and doesn't seem to know any martial arts at all."

"That's His Royal Highness Prince Li, fourth in line. It's said that because he wasn't favored in the early years, the Emperor arbitrarily bestowed a title on him and awarded him a remote fiefdom. A few days ago, many people in the court strongly recommended Prince Li, which led to the Emperor ordering Prince Li to return to the capital."

Su Rou remained silent. This King Li was probably just a victim of a power struggle...

Su Rou said, "Forget it, let's just watch their game first."

Although these princes had happy smiles on their faces, as if they were just playing with their brothers, they must have understood in their hearts.

Today is different from the past. If anyone has the ability to win the first place, perhaps the emperor will take notice of them.

"The Emperor has arrived!" A eunuch's shout attracted everyone's attention.

The emperor, wearing a dragon robe, came slowly, surrounded by a group of eunuchs.

The emperor waved his hand in Su Rou's direction, signaling her to come over.

Su Rou put down her arms, what is coming will eventually come.

Su Rou walked up to the emperor, "Your Majesty."

The emperor asked her to sit aside. "I was wondering if you would show up today. Why is the head of the Jiang family kneeling outside the gate of the general's mansion today?"

Su Rou choked. The emperor clearly knew why the old man was kneeling there. Wasn't he asking this question even though he already knew the answer?

"I didn't steal or rob anything. The Jiang family's presence blocking the door didn't cause any trouble, so I just came here to watch the princes' competition and join in the fun."

The emperor snorted coldly. She and her father had beaten Xie Yuan without caring about the emperor. Was he still angry now?

Su Rou said, "Is there something that the Emperor is dissatisfied with? Why not ask me to help you resolve your worries?"

The emperor looked at her with a dangerous look. "Captain Su is thoughtful. I just suddenly remembered Captain Su's heroic performance during the martial arts examination that day, and I want to experience it again today. It's just a pity that I can't force you to do anything."

hiss……

He said that you can't force others to do things, so why is he being so sarcastic...

Su Rou's heart sank. The emperor wanted her to play. Today wasn't a martial arts exam. If she got her hands or feet chopped off by those princes, in the emperor's eyes, it would be perfectly normal...

She wouldn't be stupid enough to jump into the trap set by the emperor.

"Your Majesty is right. We cannot force people to do things against their will."

If she was really chopped to death by someone, the emperor would at most get angry and pretend to be very angry and drag that person away to chop him off.

He sacrificed an unpopular prince and successfully helped Xie Yuan to take revenge.

The emperor had a very good plan. After all, the princes below were his own flesh and blood.

Being so heartless, the prince chosen by the emperor must be an unlucky guy.

The emperor's face darkened, "You!"

Su Rou stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I still have some fruit to eat, so I'll take my leave first. If Your Majesty wants to see the heroic general, you can call my father or my third brother. I think they should be happy to play with the princes below."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without caring what the emperor had to say. She did it quickly and without any hesitation.

If it were my father or my third brother, the one who would be hacked to death on the field might be a more favored prince.

The emperor wants her life, but it's not enough~

Su Rou walked far away, but she could still see the lackeys following the emperor pointing at her and arguing with her.

Su Rou rested her chin on one hand, probably saying something bad about her.

What a joke! How could the emperor not know how bad she is?

Su Rou withdrew her gaze from the emperor, but found that the princes on the field were all secretly looking in her direction.

It was over. She suddenly felt that something was wrong with coming here today. Would they just hit her?

A black spear suddenly flew towards her. Su Rou reacted quickly and caught the spear.

Su Chi came over and said, "You can actually catch it. Someone told me that you are Captain Su now, but I didn't believe it at first."

Su Rou looked over and said, "Third brother...I don't care whether you believe it or not. Here, I will return it to you."

Su Chi took the spear from her hand and asked, "Can you lift it?"

Su Rou said, "Why can't I lift it..."

"This spear weighs twenty pounds. Why am I surprised you can lift it?"

Su Rou: “…”

The machete used in the previous assessment seemed to weigh one hundred pounds, exactly the same weight as my father.

Su Rou looked down at her hands, which were covered with a thick layer of calluses.

I don't know when I became so strong.

Su Rou smiled and said, "It's only 20 kilograms. I can certainly carry it. But Third Brother came over like this. Is it okay?"

Su Rou looked at the training ground behind Su Chi, and saw that several princes were actually fighting among themselves.

Su Chi said, "It's okay. They didn't come here for the purpose of competing."

Su Rou said, "What is that for?"

Su Chi looked in the direction of the emperor. "The issue of appointing another crown prince has been making a lot of noise in the court these days. The emperor simply couldn't resist the urging of the civil and military officials, so he had no choice but to make up his mind to take a look at the other princes."

Among so many princes, only the older ones have a slight advantage.

but……

As for the older ones, their personalities are not suitable to be the next crown prince.

For example, King Li was driven out of the capital, but he was too violent and cruel. He was driven out by the emperor because he had the intention of rebellion.

Then there is the King of Qi at the very edge, who is gentle and elegant, and has no martial arts skills like Xie Yuan.

Su Rou sighed. She had promised to support the Queen's youngest son who was just over one year old. The Queen didn't come today. Even if she wanted to, the one-year-old prince might be chopped up like a lamb before he even reached the age of marriage.

Su Rou said, "The civil and military officials in the court have always attached great importance to the Crown Prince's affairs. Previously, when Xie Yuan took the initiative to come to the palace to propose marriage, he was impeached by them."

"To propose marriage? Prince?"
