After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

Chapter 485 Stirring up civil strife

When Cheng Shubai opened his eyes again, Su Xiaoxi had already washed herself and put on a goose-yellow gauze skirt and was waiting at the door.

Looking at Su Xiaoxi's outfit, Cheng Shubai was a little dazed.

Once upon a time, Su Xiaoxi dressed so simply and plainly, but now she is becoming more and more sophisticated, and her clothes are becoming more refined and luxurious.

"What? Are you looking stupid?"

Seeing Cheng Shubai sitting on the bed blankly without moving, Su Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and teased.

A rare expression of embarrassment appeared on Cheng Shubai's indifferent face, and it disappeared in an instant.

"Let's go!"

After saying these words, Cheng Shubai lifted up the quilt and stood up. After tidying himself up, he walked straight out of the room.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxi quickly followed, "Are you planning to go out like this?"

Cheng Shubai paused and turned to look at Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi pointed at Cheng Shubai's wrinkled robe and said, "Are you sure it's okay to go out like this?"

Cheng Shubai looked at himself in the direction Su Xiaoxi pointed, and then smiled.

There was a bit of bitterness in the smile.

In all these years, he has never been as embarrassed as he is now, let alone going out in wrinkled clothes like he is today.

"I'm going to wash up." After saying that, Cheng Shubai turned around and entered the bathtub, washing himself clean with water.

When she came out, her hair was wet. Cheng Shubai wiped it with a towel. Su Xiaoxi's eyes suddenly brightened when she looked at the slender white arms.

"Let me wipe it for you." With that, Su Xiaoxi snatched the towel from Cheng Shubai's hand and began to wipe Cheng Shubai's hair carefully.

Cheng Shubai's skin was very good, and it was slippery when touched. Su Xiaoxi's hands couldn't help but pinch it again and again.

Seeing Su Xiaoxi's actions, Cheng Shubai was slightly stunned, but his expression remained as calm as ever.

"Okay!" Su Xiaoxi smiled with satisfaction after finally wiping Cheng Shubai's hair almost dry.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Cheng Shubai had a slight smile on his face.

He likes how Su Xiaoxi treats him...

……

After lunch, Cheng Shubai took Su Xiaoxi to the palace and found the emperor.

"Father, I would like to ask you something."

Su Xiaoxi knelt in front of the emperor.

"You and I, father and daughter, don't have to be like this." The emperor stretched out his hand to help Su Xiaoxi up and spoke lovingly.

Su Xiaoxi lowered her head and said, "Father, the army of Beirong has been eyeing our Daning Dynasty. But as far as I know, Beirong also had protons left in our palace of Daning Dynasty. How about we let them go?" Dog eat dog, right?”

"How do you say this?" The emperor wondered.

"Father, do you know that there is endless civil strife in the Northern Desert country? The monarch of the Northern Desert is seriously ill. The prince has been working hard to govern since he ascended the throne. Now that he has great power, I am afraid that sooner or later, the Northern Desert will invade our Ning Dynasty."

"You want to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

"Yes." Su Xiaoxi nodded, "The proton from the Northern Desert has been a proton in our Daning Dynasty for several years. If we send someone to surrender now, I believe he will be happy to surrender."

"But after all, this is a war between two countries. How can we, the Ning Dynasty, be destroyed overnight?"

"Father, I believe that once Beirong's proton takes over power, even if Beirong does not attack Daning, he will take the initiative to attack and stir up civil strife."

Su Xiaoxi said, paused before continuing: "Besides, although Beirong is strong, there are traitors in the country now. I believe that the emperor of Beirong will not allow Beirong to have any turmoil. I'm afraid they will Now we have secretly started planning to attack the Daning Dynasty."

Su Xiaoxi's tone revealed her concern for the Beirong Emperor, "Father, if Beirong goes to war with us, Daning, although we, Daning, will not fail immediately, our vitality will definitely be severely damaged, and many things will happen by then. Father, Emperor, are you willing to take a gamble?"

"What you said is indeed a solution." The emperor fell into thinking.

At this moment, the emperor seemed to have understood that his daughter was no ordinary boudoir daughter.

"Then please ask Father to give it to you!" Seeing that the emperor was relieved, Su Xiaoxi hurriedly struck while the railway was hot, "I will personally go to negotiate terms with the proton."

"it is good."

"Thank you, Father." Su Xiaoxi saluted respectfully.

When I came out of Qiande Hall, it was already evening, the setting sun was red, and the afterglow fell on Su Xiaoxi's body.

Su Xiaoxi raised her neck and looked at the gorgeous sunset, with a bright arc at the corner of her mouth.

"Where are we going?" Cheng Shubai asked, looking at the energetic Su Xiaoxi beside him.

"Go back to the palace." Su Xiaoxi replied.

She wanted to discuss it with Nangong Che quickly.

Su Xiaoxi didn't tell Cheng Shubai where she was going, so when Cheng Shubai returned to Su Xiaoxi's palace, he felt empty in his heart.

He thought maybe he was used to being alone over the years.

He never thinks he needs friends, so he never takes the initiative to get close to anyone.

But after meeting Su Xiaoxi today, Cheng Shubai felt that his original world seemed to be filled again.

"Mr. Cheng, these are the dishes that the princess asked the kitchen to prepare for you today. Please try them quickly and find out if they suit your appetite." Cheng Shubai was in a daze when the guard came in and said respectfully to Cheng Shubai.

Only then did Cheng Shubai regain his composure. He raised his eyes and glanced at the neatly arranged food on the table. His mood was inexplicably complicated.

"Where is the princess?" After a moment, Cheng Shubai asked calmly.

"Reporting to Young Master Cheng, after the princess returned to the palace, she went back to the palace to rest." The guard answered truthfully, and added at the end, "The princess also specifically asked the slave to tell Young Master Cheng that you have worked hard today, Young Master Cheng."

Hearing this, Cheng Shubai frowned slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Looking at the guard, "Stay back!"

"Yes."

After the guards left, Cheng Shubai picked up the food on the table and ate in silence.

These dishes were all prepared according to her taste. She must have specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare them.

……

At night, the emperor summoned Nangong Che.

As soon as Nangong Che came to the imperial study room, he felt that the atmosphere was unusually depressing.

Looking at the memorial spread out on the dragon table in front of him, Nangong Che's face showed a hint of caution, "Father, the emperor summoned his son here today, isn't it to scold him again?"

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Nangong Che and said, "I summoned you today because of something."

There was no anger on the emperor's face, and there was little even blame.

But this only made Nangong Che feel guilty even more.

Nangong Che swallowed, then sat on the chair, waiting for the emperor's reprimand.

But the emperor only pondered for a long time, but in the end he said nothing.

Seeing that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, Nangong Che couldn't help but speak first, "Father, what happened?"

"Has your sister looked for you today?"

The first words the emperor spoke went straight to the point.
