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

Gong Yu grabbed her hand and his warm breath sprayed on her palm, "Are there any wounds?"

Su Rou's cheeks were burning hot and she wanted to pull her hand back, but it was no use.

He held on even tighter!

Su Rou swallowed her saliva and turned her face away, "It's okay."

She couldn't say that she suspected the masked man who hit her was Gong Yu.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Gong Yu looked at her strangely.

Su Rou changed the subject to avoid Gong Yu's gaze, "I'm so hungry. How long have I been unconscious?"

Gong Yu's voice was cold, "Three days."

Su Rou's body froze, and she looked back, her face full of disbelief. "I... I'm so hungry."

Gong Yu stood up and stood at the doorway, ordering the maid outside, "Go prepare some food, your young lady is awake."

The maid in the yard nodded, glanced into the house, and when she met Su Rou's gaze, she instantly smiled happily, "Miss, Miss has really woken up! Go tell the general!"

Su Rou sat on the edge of the bed with a dull expression.

After a while, Su Wan, Su Chong and Su Chi all crowded into her room.

Su Wan took something out of his pocket and said, "Arou, try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that daddy sells on the street."

After eating two pieces of osmanthus cake, she choked and drank a cup of tea before she regained some energy.

Su Rou noticed that her father and brother were also wearing armor. Did they just come back from outside?

Su Rou asked, "Where did you go? Why are you all dressed so neatly today?"

The eldest brother Su Chong said, "The emperor is holding a hunting banquet. Dad has to show up, so it's natural that the third brother and I should also show up."

Su Rou's confused expression suddenly brightened. Wait, hunting?!

She remembered that the emperor did allow hunting when she was fifteen. She was particularly impressed because it was during this time that the Southern Kingdom secretly conspired to send people to assassinate the emperor during the hunting trip.

My father was rewarded by the emperor for his meritorious service in protecting the emperor.

Su Rou looked at Gong Yu who was standing at the back of the group. She was not sure whether the masked man who fought with her that night was Gong Yu, but maybe she could take this opportunity to express her attitude to Gong Yu?

As long as Gong Yu acknowledges that the General's Mansion poses no threat to him, perhaps it will be possible.

In this vast world, apart from the Northern Kingdom, only the emperor of the Southern Kingdom can make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

This is also the reason why she chose to buy a house in the South.

That night, the masked man had truly tried to kill her, but she remembered that the dagger had clearly slashed his face. Although it was a minor wound that might heal quickly, it wasn't possible that it would disappear without a trace in just three days, right?!

Su Rou wondered in her heart, maybe Gong Yu had used some method.

Su Rou was lost in thought, but was brought back to her senses by her third brother Su Chi.

"What are you thinking about?"

Su Rou looked up and met Su Chi's eyes. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Su Chi.

"Hunting, you can't go."

Su Rou closed her mouth and said, "I didn't say anything. Third brother, aren't you being sentimental?"

Su Chi didn't care what she was about to say, "Don't you want Dad to take you hunting?"

Su Rou touched her face and closed her mouth. Third brother must know her too well!

Su Wan heard something from their conversation, "Arou, you'd better stay in the mansion. If your wounds are reopened, it will be difficult to recover. The imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital said last time that you can't do anything wrong anymore."

Su Rou frowned, her expression extremely noncomplaining. "How did I do anything wrong? Who said that? Father, tell me. I'll go to the Imperial Hospital to see him in person."

Su Wan leaned down and touched Su Rou's head. "You, don't worry about who said it. Just don't go out for the time being. Stay in the mansion obediently. If you want to see someone, send someone to invite him over. Daddy will catch a little rabbit for you to play with. Okay? Be obedient."

Su Rou had been lying in bed for three days and her body was almost falling apart.

The eldest brother Su Chong said, "Anyway, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is staying with her, so it's not a big problem. Let Prince Yu take care of my younger sister."

She nodded obediently, "Then be careful, Dad."

The southerners were trying to assassinate the emperor, so she had to find a way to get her father away from the emperor.

The maid prepared the food, but Su Rou didn't want to go to the front yard, so she asked someone to move it to her own yard.

She and Gong Yu sat under the pavilion. There were only leftovers on the table, not even a crumb left.

Su Rou held a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth contentedly and touched her belly.

Gong Yu said, "You have no manners when eating. You are really different from those other rich ladies in the capital."

After eating and drinking, Su Rou had the energy to think.

She looked at Gong Yu and asked, "Come to think of it, why did you stay in the mansion during the few days I was unconscious?"

Gong Yu said, "If you don't let me leave, where can I go?"

She narrowed her eyes and playfully stroked his chin like a kitten. "Oh, you're so obedient? Why am I so unconvinced? Has the Emperor asked anything these days?"

Gong Yu said, "He didn't ask any questions. He just told me to stay in the General's Mansion and wait for General Su and you to decide. I can leave only when you say I am no longer a suspect."

Su Rou spat out the dogtail grass in her mouth. She pressed Gong Yu, but the emperor didn't react at all?

What's going on? This is not what she originally thought.

Su Rou said, "Is that so... No wonder my father and brother didn't react when they saw you in my yard."

More than just no response?

It was as if he had completely gotten used to Gong Yu's presence.

Gong Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her lips, then reached out his hand and wiped off a grain of rice from her lips. He put his slender, bony fingers to his lips and licked the grain of rice in his mouth.

Su Rou's cheeks were slightly hot. She grabbed Gong Yu's hand and rubbed his fingers hard with her sleeve, "Don't seduce me!"

Gong Yu looked at her, as if taking advantage of someone's misfortune, his eyes full of affection as he looked at her, "I was very worried when you were unconscious that day."

Su Rou turned her face away. She didn't feel anything about Gong Yu's face, but she felt a little embarrassed by the way he licked and fiddled with her like a kitten.

Gong Yu must have learned how to seduce women from someone at night, as his skills have obviously become more advanced in the past few days.

Su Rou said, "I understand. You can go back to the yard now."

"I can't leave. General Su asked me to watch you and not let you run away on your own again."

Su Rou stood up and said, "Then it would be a good idea for me to wander around the mansion, right?!"

"Miss, Miss Yuan heard that you woke up and asked to see you outside the door." The maid suddenly interrupted them.

Su Rou waved her hand, "Then ask her to come in. I also happen to have something to ask her."

The maid continued, "Miss Yuan wants to ask you for permission. She wants to see her uncle who has been arrested."

Uncle?

Su Rou then remembered that the matter of the Yuan Family Restaurant had not been resolved yet...
