“Am I that stupid?”
Su Luo looked at the person in front of her who was very likely to be her younger sister. She couldn’t be angry at all, but her question was very piercing.
Shouldn’t he ask about their relationship first?
Or why did they look so alike?
“Bring it over.”
MO Ruyue extended her hand toward Gu Ying.
Gu Ying gave her another pack of truth powder and saw her take out two more packs of the same powder from her sleeve pocket.
“If one pack doesn’t work, then two packs. If two packs don’t work, then three packs!”
Su Luo knew that the thing in the paper bag was the powder that Gu Ying had sprinkled on his face. It would make people lose their guard and answer whatever others asked.
Seeing that the woman wanted to give him all three bags, he panicked.
“Don’t, 1 surrender!”
Su Luo’s surrender made Nio Ruyue stop sprinkling powder.
Gu Ying asked the soldiers at the door to find the general.
“If you had said so earlier, there would be no such thing.”
“Someone, help this Prince of the Northern Kingdom change into a clean set of clothes.’
Gu Ying pulled MO Ruyue out of the tent and gave instructions to the soldiers. It was not that he was kind, but that the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom could not die of illness for the time being.
He was the main bargaining chip between Xi Liang and the Northern Kingdom.
“This time, the war will definitely end soon, and we can go home.”
However, Gu Ying was still brooding over the matter of the Crown Prince of the enemy country calling MO Ruyue his imperial mother.
Not long after, the general strode over.
When the general saw Su Luo’s face, he was also stunned.
Why did he look so familiar? He seemed to look a little like someone he knew.
At first, he couldn’t remember who she looked like, but it was only when he saw MO Ruyue that he suddenly understood.
“This?”
“General, let’s talk about business first. This Prince of the Northern Kingdom said that he surrendered.’
Gu Ying stood in front of MO Ruyue, blocking the general’s line of sight.
“This is indeed a big deal.”
Therefore, the general and Gu Ying talked to Su Luo for a long time in the tent. Su Luo indeed said that he had surrendered.
They also wanted to sign the treaty between the Northland and Xi Liang, and request Xi Liang to trade with the Northland and transport more food to the Northland.
Most of the Northern Country was like the Snow World Village here, suffering from hunger and cold all year round. Therefore, more than half of the people in the Northern Country did not have enough to eat all year round.
This was also why after the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom started the war, he had been fighting with Xi Liang on a small scale. There had been no real fighting. It was also why Xi Liang had been fighting with the Northern Kingdom for nine months and had not made up its mind to fight. Every time Xi Liang wanted to fight with the Northern Kingdom, the Northern Kingdom would retreat.
The Northland was also mostly covered in mountains. The icy mountains were difficult to attack and easy to defend. Otherwise, based on Gu Yings personality, he would have suggested attacking the Northland. Perhaps the war would have ended long ago.
It was because of their cowardly character that they had dragged it out until now. As soon as he returned, they came over to steal and did not kill anyone.
“Seeing that I haven’t fought with you for nine months, my request isn’t too much. In fact, there’s no way to start a war. I just want my people to have food
to eat.”
Su Luo had already changed into dry clothes and was no longer tied up.
It was the rule of all armies not to treat captives and hostages harshly.
Until the war between the two countries stopped, Sullo was able to move freely in the tent. However, outside the tent, there were three layers of guards on the left and three layers on the right.
“You can, but I’m just a little curious. Why did you call my country’s Princess Ming Yue Mother when you saw her? Do you have anything to explain?”
Gu Ying did not intend to hide this matter from the Great General. He could not hide it even if he wanted to. After all, he had eyes to see. This person looked too much like his Ruyue. He would not be able to sleep or eat in peace if he did not figure it out.
The Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom let go the moment he saw Ruyue. Who knew what he was up to?
As for the suspicion that her Ruyue was the princess of the Northern Kingdom, it was just a thought. Gu Ying probably did not believe it. After all, his Ruyue had a biological father in the MO Family Village.
It was not as if there were no two people who looked alike in this world. He had seen them before. It might just be a coincidence. The Prince of the Northern Kingdom might have mistaken them for the wrong person and used this matter to negotiate peace.
“She is just very similar to my imperial mother. Actually, I don’t know her.”
“l only called her mother because I was cold, hungry, and drugged by you. I didn’t come back to my senses and called out. Besides, my mother isn’t that young.”
“This is just a misunderstanding.”
Gu Ying and the great general did not miss any of the expressions on Su Luffs face. Seeing that he was not lying or panicking, they believed him a little.
However, the two of them didn’t ask him about this anymore. It was obvious that Su Luo didn’t want to say anything. If he didn’t want to say anything, he couldn’t even use truth powder, let alone now.
The most important thing now was the war.
The general and Gu Ying went to draft the contract. It was the Northland who surrendered first. No matter what, the Northland had to cede territory and pay compensation. The contract had to be drafted properly.
However, they still had to send a messenger pigeon back to the capital to tell the Emperor about this matter. The emperor had the final say in the details. They were only suggesting based on their positions, but this matter was most likely resolved just like that.
The day passed quickly, and night fell again.
Yuan Yuan, who was being guarded, could not sit still. Although she did not go out much the whole day, she could hear the conversation of the soldiers outside.
When she found out that Young Master Su had been captured, she still blamed herself for being implicated by her.
“No, I have to think of a way to save Young Master Su.”
Yuan Yuan was thinking about how she could get out and how she could let Young Master Su go.
At present, no one could help her. The only person who could help her, Yu Fei, was also locked up and had not been released until now. However, Young Master Su must be saved.
“What should I do? What should I do?”
Yuan Yuan was in a hurry to think of a solution. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She knew who she could ask for help.
Ever since MO Ruyue saw Su Luo, she had a strange feeling.
In her memory, she was indeed born in the MO family village. MO Shuisheng also treated her as his daughter, but he did not dote on her. From his behavior, they should be father and daughter. Otherwise, according to MO Shuishengs personality, he would have sold her for a good price and entered the Goulan Courtyard.
“Princess, that Yuan Yuan is acting up again. She said that her stomach hurts.
The kind that hurts so much that she’s dying.”
“After that, Doctor Wang came out and went to look for the Prince Consort with an ugly expression.”
Chun Hua then reported the news she had just heard to MO Ruyue.
“She really won’t die if she doesn’t court death. I want to see how she’ll play herself to death this time.’
MO Ruyue was not worried at all that Yuan Yuan would let the Crown Prince of the Northland go.
“Princess, do you want Wei Yi to keep an eye on her?”
MO Ruyue felt that Chun Hua was rubbing her hands together and wanted to fight personally.
“There’s no need. It’s a waste of our time and energy. There are so many people in the camp, and if we let the daughter of a criminal get her way, then the general of Xi Liang can bring his head to the Emperor.”
“We’ll eat and drink well. We’ll just sit on a stool and watch the show.”
Chun Hua didn’t expect her Princess to say such terrifying words, but thinking about it, what her Princess said made sense.
Since the Princess had already said so, there was no need for her to keep an eye on it. She could only watch from the side..
