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

Su Rou's breathing stagnated and she quickly distanced herself from Gong Yu.

Gong Yu said, "What are you afraid of?"

Su Rou changed the subject, "I just heard other noises. There might be something else here. Be careful. I don't know why your eyes are fine, but it's still better to be careful."

Gong Yu took off his coat and put it on her. "Your injuries are very serious. Let me find an exit. Since this place was built by someone and there is no body of the builder, it means there must be another secret exit."

Su Rou frowned slightly. She looked no different from a blind person now.

Gong Yu checked the area around him and said, "There's no other mechanism. If I really had to name it, it would probably be the one above."

Su Rou's heart tightened. "If that's the case, then we can't get out at all. The walls of the upper exit are all covered in grease. Not to mention how winding this passage is, even if it wasn't winding, it would be impossible to climb up with the grease on the walls. Did your followers try to stop you when you were coming down?"

She probably felt that she had no other options, so she actually placed her hopes on Gong Yu's servants who stayed upstairs.

Gong Yu said, "I tried to stop him, but I didn't listen."

Su Rou: “…”

Who can tell the difference between him and the stupid dog now?

Su Rou expressed her sympathy sincerely this time, "It's over. Don't let your followers jump down when they don't see you coming out. If there are more people, I will have to live a little shorter."

Gong Yu sat down next to her and said, "You're not afraid of anything, but you're afraid of death?"

What Gong Yu said was tantamount to nonsense.

Who is not afraid of death?

If she died, how would the General's Mansion survive in the future?

Su Rou scolded, "You are so stupid! I could hear your voice from down there just now. Can you ask the people up there to drop a rope and pull us up?"

Gong Yu tried calling out twice, but there was no response.

Well, now this last bit of hope is gone.

Su Rou didn't know what time it was. As time passed, she leaned against the wall and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

Coupled with the injuries on her body, she always felt as if there was a huge rock pressing on her chest.

Gong Yu came to her side and grabbed her hand, "Don't sleep."

Su Rou could feel that there was a lot of sweat on Gong Yu's palms.

The air in this place was getting thinner and thinner, and with the torches, it was no different from roasting the two of them on a flaming mountain.

Su Rou's chest rose and fell. "I'm dying. What are you going to do? Eat something hot before my body gets cold..."

Gong Yu was also breathing heavily, and both of them were almost reaching their limit.

He said, "You still have time to tell jokes, it seems that you are fine. Don't play dead, your breath is disordered."

Su Rou no longer responded to him and was completely silent, which made him panic.

Gong Yu leaned on her chest and could still hear her heartbeat, which made him feel relieved.

How can this be good?

Gong Yu looked at Su Rou, who was completely unconscious and was in a dilemma.

As a man, he has a better physique than a woman, and Su Rou has been here longer than he has.

Now is not the time for Su Rou to die. Even if she dies, she must die at his hands.

Gong Yu punched the wall, trying to break it with brute force.

But when he punched the wall, some of the dust above his head fell down, but the wall remained motionless.

His body had already reached its limit, and at this point, every time he moved a few more times he would have to take three breaths.

In the end, Gong Yu couldn't hold on any longer and fell beside Su Rou.

The secret room fell into dead silence.

"Da La" another sound of chains hitting the floor was heard.

The wall of the secret room suddenly turned, and Yuan Wen, who was standing outside, was the first to rush in to check on Su Rou lying on the ground.

"Xiao Rourou!!" Su Rou did not react at all, and Yuan Wen kicked the follower viciously.

"You bastard! Why did you just think of them falling into the secret room now?! This person is my benefactor! Carry him out! Use the best you can to revive them both."

When Su Rou woke up, she could already see things. The unfamiliar environment made her subconsciously sit up from the bed.

Soft gauze curtains were hung above the bed, and when she opened her eyes she could see a large string of expensive rubies inlaid with gold hanging on the top.

What is this place?!

"Miss Su is awake. My mistress has been worried that she might die in that secret room. I'm glad she's awake now."

A maid came in from outside, holding a tray with an incense burner on it.

Su Rou asked, "Who is your young lady?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yuan Wen rushed in from outside the door and pounced on her.

"You woke up, I was so worried about you."

Su Rou looked at Yuan Wen who suddenly appeared, confused, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Wen said, "This is my house. I saved you and Prince Yu when they were trapped in the secret room. Do you want to praise me?"

Yuan Wen lay on the bed, close to her with a look of begging for praise.

Su Rou had no expression on her face and her ears automatically ignored useless words.

There is something strange about Yuan Wen.

"Why did you appear in that secret room?"

Yuan Wen frowned, pretending to be sad. "You look like you're starting to be wary of me. I... I'm not the culprit who got you locked up in the secret room. That restaurant is mine. If I had known you happened to be there today, I would have ordered them not to attack you. Rourou, I apologize to you."

Su Rou narrowed her eyes slightly, dangerous yet beautiful. "That restaurant makes a living by selling women. You said that the restaurant is yours?"

Yuan Wen was stunned, his voice deafening. "W-what?! Selling women?! I can sell a duckling or a piglet, but why a woman?! You...you must have misunderstood something? No wonder you're looking at me like that. I can ask you to bring people to search that restaurant. I built that restaurant as a place to pass the time when I was young and bored. I never used it again after I took over the family business. You...you have to trust me."

Su Rou lowered her eyes, "I can't trust you for now. Those women were imprisoned on the bottom floor. Prince Yu and I saw it with our own eyes."

She felt that she couldn't trust Yuan Wen so rashly. People could pretend, but evidence couldn't.

Su Rou looked at Yuan Wen and said, "I have to go back and have people surround the restaurant. Prince Yu and I saw a lot of women being held captive. I don't think we can move them all out in a short time."

Yuan Wen looked a little aggrieved. "I'll have the restaurant temporarily closed, but since you're injured, how about I send someone to call General Su or Junior General Su to come pick you up?"

Su Rou nodded, "Thank you."

All the injuries on her body have been treated by Yuan Wen.

But this alone cannot completely prove that Yuan Wen is innocent.

Su Rou asked, "Where is His Royal Highness Prince Yu?"

Yuan Wen was probably afraid that she would continue to be prejudiced against her, so he lay obediently beside the bed and did not come forward.

"He's in the next room and hasn't regained consciousness yet. But you should be able to see now, right? When my men were cleaning you just now, they found grease from the passageway mixed with medicinal herbs. Combined with the heat from the torches in the secret room, it evaporated and caused temporary blindness."
