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

"You want gold?"

Su Rou nodded. Why did the emperor look so unconvinced?

The emperor would not be willing to give her a promotion or a title anyway, and in the end she couldn't take it with her, so it was better to have gold, silver and treasures.

Su Rou said, "Does the emperor think there is something wrong?"

The emperor did not look displeased. On the contrary, after hearing what she wanted, the restlessness on his face caused by Shen Changming subsided.

"I'm sure."

Su Rou bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor today is different from before. He is afraid that she has ulterior motives and is naturally very happy when he knows that she only wants gold, silver and treasures.

Su Rou came out of the palace and happened to run into Gong Yu at the door.

Or rather, Gong Yu had been standing here waiting for her to come out.

"Your Highness Prince Yu is so free, goodbye."

There was an extra force on her wrist, and Gong Yu grabbed her wrist.

She planned to ignore Gong Yu, but she didn't expect Gong Yu to catch up with her from behind.

Su Rou frowned and looked straight at Gong Yu. Perhaps Gong Yu also knew that this was not a good place to talk, so he just pulled her like this and looked at her fixedly.

She met Gong Yu's gaze straightly. Shen Changming deserted the battlefield and was punished by the emperor. Didn't Gong Yu feel that it was inappropriate?

"Your Highness Prince Yu, do you have anything to say to me?"

Gong Yu let go of her, his face gloomy, "No, go back."

Su Rou snorted softly and moved her wrist which had turned red after being grabbed by Gong Yu.

Returned to the general's mansion.

Su Wan stood at the door to greet her with a smile, "Arou, Dad has heard about you leading the troops to suppress the bandits alone. You are truly worthy of being Arou."

Shen Changming and Gong Yu both gave her a sour look, but Daddy is still the best, Daddy won't spoil her fun.

Su Rou said, "Father, the emperor's belongings should be delivered to the general's mansion soon. Father, please keep them for me. I'll go back to the yard and rest for a while."

Su Rou didn't get a good rest last night when she slept on the mountain.

Su Wan looked at her, "Arou, don't you want to eat? Father asked the people in the mansion to prepare a lot of food that you like."

Su Rou waved her hand, meaning that they could do whatever they wanted.

Su Rou fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. In a daze, she vaguely felt as if someone was touching her.

Is that A Niang?

A Niang's hands are soft and without calluses.

Cocoon?

When Su Rou opened her eyes, she saw Gong Yu sitting beside the bed.

Su Rou quickly stood up and distanced herself from him, "What are you doing?!"

Gong Yu saw that she had woken up, but he didn't react. "I wanted to come over to see you, but why are you so scared? Or are you afraid that I'll kill you?"

Although these words were said in a joking manner, Su Rou could hear a hint of seriousness in them.

Su Rou said, "How could I not be frightened when a stranger suddenly appeared next to my bed? Why did you come to me? Besides trying to kill me while I was asleep, what? Are you not angry anymore?"

Gong Yu laughed, "What are you angry about?"

Su Rou: “…”

Wasn't he planning to accumulate a bigger resentment and then burn it all on her?

Su Rou said, "If that's the case, then forget it. I won't be able to say anything if I continue to argue with you."

Gong Yu said, "Why do I feel like you know me so well? You didn't ask about my relationship with Shen Changming, nor did you ask why I left you there alone. It's as if... you know the reason."

Su Rou pursed her lips. She did know, and she had known it a long time ago. It was not difficult to guess why Gong Yu and Shen Changming left her there alone. The bandit was most likely related to them.

But none of this could be revealed in front of Gong Yu.

Su Rou said, "What's the reason? Did you and Shen Changming do something shameful behind your back?"

Gong Yu stared at her for a while, then looked away.

Su Rou could actually understand Gong Yu's good intentions. It was probably the pressure that Nan Guo put on him that forced him to be wary of her for fear that she would discover his true identity.

On the day when Gong Yu led his troops to conquer the Northern Kingdom, the emperor could be his obstacle, the prince could be his obstacle, everyone could be his obstacle, but the people in the general's mansion absolutely could not be.

Su Rou said, "What? Why don't you refute me? Did I say it right?"

Gong Yu said, "The only shameful thing I have done is saying that I like you."

Su Rou was stunned. Seeing Gong Yu was about to leave, she jumped off the bed and threw herself behind him, hugging his waist with both hands. "What do you mean? Explain clearly, what is it about me that makes you feel so ashamed to like me? Besides, this is the extent of your love for me."

Gong Yu turned around and looked at her, "I'll go get some tea."

Su Rou was embarrassed and let go of her hand, "Oh, go ahead."

Gong Yu walked to the table, the sound of him pouring water seemed particularly abrupt between the two of them, "It's more than embarrassing."

Su Rou threw back the quilt and was about to go down and fight with him, "In the end, you are just taking advantage of the protection of this identity. I didn't blame you for running away with Shen Changming and ignoring me. Instead, you are annoying me."

Gong Yu grabbed her and lifted her up to hit his wrist.

The force caused her wrist to hurt.

Gong Yu leaned over and said, "You don't like me either, but you still keep me by your side."

The anger in Su Rou's heart was ignited by him, and her other hand turned into a fist and hit Gong Yu.

Gong Yu no longer pretended to be a useless quantum who couldn't fight, and it was easy for him to dodge her punch.

Su Rou stared at Gong Yu, "I didn't put a knife to your neck to force you to get close to me or say anything that would please me."

She had no intention of reporting the trivial matters between Gong Yu and Shen Changming.

But he said such words to her, which really made her angry!

The two people started fighting in the house, and Su Rou showed no mercy.

She kept Gong Yu by her side because she knew what he could bring to the General's Mansion. Apart from not offending Gong Yu, was there any other way for her to keep the General's Mansion alive?

No.

Gong Yu said, "Your skills are much better than what you showed in the martial arts examination that day."

Su Rou said sarcastically, "It's the same for you. Your Highness Prince Yu, who doesn't know how to fight, is now bullying me."

Gong Yu flashed behind her and said, "I told you I'm happy, but you're embarrassed. I made you unhappy, and you reacted so strongly."

Su Rou gritted her teeth, turned around and wanted to kill Gong Yu, but Gong Yu directly restrained her arms, and the next second she fell into Gong Yu's arms.

"Little tricks."

Su Rou broke free from Gong Yu's restraints. She grabbed Gong Yu's collar and used all her strength to pull him down.

Warm lips covered hers. Su Rou didn't know how to kiss, so she could only learn from a puppy chewing a bone on the roadside and bit his tongue, but it slipped away too quickly and hit her teeth.

Su Rou then bit his lips hard, and the fishy smell spread in his mouth. Gong Yu reacted and pushed her away.

There was a hint of crimson on Su Rou's cherry-pink lips. She rubbed them with her fingertips, and the crimson blood spread on her lips, making them more gorgeous than the best rouge in the capital.

Gong Yu leaned against the wall with his cheeks flushed.

Su Rou said, "I couldn't confirm it with you just now, but now I can definitely reject you. I don't like you."
