Chapter 115 I just think that the girl doesn’t need to lie to protect the person behind her
Su Rou looked at Gong Yu, "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
She vaguely sensed a subtle fluctuation in Gong Yu's emotions.
She tried to pull her hand back, but found that she couldn't pull it back.
Gong Yu looked at her for a while, and finally let go of her hand.
"Nothing, go back and rest first."
The moon was obscured by dark clouds, and Su Rou lay in bed, unable to even think of sleeping.
She looked at Gong Yu lying under the bed, her expression thoughtful...
Northern border.
"Huh..." As the yellow sand passed by, Su Chi threw a corpse on a small hill.
"Sir, all those lurking near the border have been dealt with."
Su Chi wiped the blood off his face, his expression cold, "Find a place to bury it, don't let my little sister see it."
As the year draws to a close, the Southern Emperor broke the rules first, so they can forget about having a peaceful and happy new year.
The sky was bright. Su Rou opened her eyes and found that the room was still dark, as if the bedroom was surrounded by a layer of gauze.
Gong Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Are you awake? It rained early this morning and it's a bit cold outside. If you want to go out, put on some clothes."
Su Rou yawned and said, "I'll go take a look."
The air outside was cool. The moment Su Rou opened the door, the cold air filled her lungs.
Very refreshing.
Su Rou said, "The South is really beautiful. It's much more beautiful than the North after the rain."
As soon as Su Rou turned around, she was blocked by Gong Yu's chest.
Gong Yu came behind her at some point, put his hands on the railing, and trapped her in his arms.
Two people stood under the eaves, and the rain slid down the eaves to form a small rain curtain.
Gong Yu lowered his voice, "Your body, which was thrown into the cemetery yesterday, has been brought to the palace this morning. The emperor has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter."
Su Rou raised her eyes and found it amusing. The Southern Emperor was just crying wolf. "I buried the body yesterday. How did they find it?"
The facts were before her eyes, and she and Gong Yuguang looked at each other.
Gong Yu said, "The Emperor wants to attack you? Why? Nothing serious happened when I wasn't with you these past few days."
Su Rou said, "Maybe it's because I didn't give him face on the Ninth Princess' birthday?"
The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom is an ambitious man.
The longer you are suppressed, the greater your ambition will be.
What's more, the Southern Kingdom was indeed glorious in the past, and it had a king who was an emperor.
Gong Yu's eyes darkened. "You stay by my side. They only dare to attack you when you are alone."
Su Rou said, "What's the point of me staying by your side?"
Gong Yu is capable, but in order to maintain his image as the sickly and incompetent Prince Yu, he has always pretended to be an ordinary person.
Su Rou had seen through this person a long time ago.
Gong Yu said, "I can..."
"Girl, someone is coming." The soldier suddenly appeared on the tree trunk next to her, interrupting what Gong Yu was about to say.
Gong Yu turned his face away, seeming a little shy.
Su Rou said, "I understand."
Ok……
Not to mention Gong Yu, she had forgotten that there were soldiers in the dark constantly monitoring the palace...
Fortunately, I didn't do anything too extreme...
Su Rou went into the house and put on the mask.
The person who came was a palace maid, holding a basin of water in her hand.
"Young lady, you are up now. The hot water for washing is ready for you. After you wash up, the emperor invites you to the main hall for a chat."
Su Rou said, "Okay, bring it in."
Su Rou looked at the palace maid and then at Gong Yu, and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "I have been living with you these days. Why didn't the Southern Emperor say anything? You southerners are quite open-minded."
Gong Yu said, "They might have decided that you will be my Princess Yu from now on."
Su Rou turned around and walked into the house, "Really? But I think I'm just doing my job. I'm keeping watch over you every step of the way."
"Creaky" Su Rou quickly closed the door and locked Gong Yu outside.
She had already given up her identity as a woman when she took the military examination.
It was true that she didn't care about a woman's reputation and desire, but she didn't expect Gong Yu and the Southerners to think so...
Su Rou glanced at the palace maid who brought in the water and stood beside her with a handkerchief in her hand, pretending she couldn't see anything.
Su Rou said, "You go out too."
The maid said, "Miss, I will stand here and help you wash up."
Su Rou opened the door, and the purpose of this palace maid became obvious.
Isn't it just to see the face under her mask?
Su Rou said, "Go out. I don't have the habit of asking someone to help me wash up."
The palace maid couldn't argue with her, so she put down her handkerchief and walked out of the room.
Su Rou could vaguely see the figure of someone outside through the window lattice.
But Gong Yu was also outside, so I thought no one would peek.
Su Rou quickly wiped her face, dried it with a handkerchief, and put the mask back on.
Gong Yu had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
Gong Yu said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
The little palace maid beside her whispered, "Your Highness...The Emperor said that only the bad girl can go alone."
Just her alone?
Su Rou realized that the emperor might be taking this opportunity to test her.
Su Rou said, "Then you should stay in the bedroom. I'll ask someone to come and look after you."
Gong Yu sighed, "I won't run away, but I also hope you won't just treat me as a prisoner."
Su Rou was taken to a side hall by a palace maid.
There is another person here besides the emperor.
There were two low tables below. It seemed that one belonged to Gong Yuanzhi and the other one was hers.
Su Rou came forward and asked, "What is General Gong eating? Let me have a bite too."
Gong Yuanzhi was startled by her sudden proximity and couldn't even swallow the bite of pancake in his mouth.
He said vaguely, "How can you be so shameless, girl? My whole grain pancakes are not for you to eat. You eat better than mine."
The Southern Emperor called Su Rou, "Miss Dai, I have specially prepared a seat for you, please take a seat quickly."
Su Rou glanced at her seat. There were quite a few meat dishes on her seat, even a whole roast chicken.
In contrast, Gong Yuanzhi's table was filled with bland food.
Su Rou sat down and asked, "Why are our dishes different?"
Gong Yuanzhi didn't even look at her. "You are a distinguished guest, so all the good things are for you to eat."
The side hall was not as big as the main hall. She and Gong Yuanzhi sat face to face, and she could see the expression on Gong Yuanzhi's face clearly.
That was disgust, and she was probably wondering why she was given such delicious food.
Su Rou didn't hesitate and pulled a chicken leg and took a bite.
The Southern Kingdom Emperor said, "Miss, my men discovered a body in the cemetery early this morning. This person was a member of my Dragon Scale Guard. I heard that you and Prince Yu also went to the cemetery last night. I wonder what you saw then."
Su Rou's expression was calm. "Today, I didn't see the eunuch Chang who received us earlier. Prince Yu said that the eunuch Chang was also a Dragon Scale Guard. Could it be that the corpse was him? Last night in the cemetery, a masked man did try to kill me. I was scared, so I killed him accidentally..."
The emperor and Gong Yuanzhi looked at her again with shock in their expressions.
It was indeed an accidental murder. She forgot to leave a living witness.
The Southern Kingdom Emperor said, "The Dragon Scale Guard attacked the girl? I think there must be some misunderstanding."
Look, the Southern Emperor was thinking about this, but he was also worried about getting into trouble. He had that questioning attitude just now, but now he seems to want to deny the connection.
Gong Yuanzhi snorted coldly, "The Dragon Scale Guard is the best guard in the north and south. It's not that I look down on you, young lady, but I just don't think you need to lie to protect the people behind you. According to my spies, they saw Su Chi, who was with you, appear in the royal city."
