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

After Eunuch Li arranged a residence for Su Xiaoxi, he left in a hurry.

Su Xiaoxi, on the other hand, took a bath and changed clothes under the service of the palace maids and eunuchs, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

This night is destined to be extraordinary.

……

Early the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, the sounds of gongs could be heard outside.

Then a horn sounded.

Su Xiaoxi got up from the bed in a daze, stretched and walked out of the door.

A group of palace people were standing in the middle of the courtyard. Su Xiaoxi glanced at it and saw a burly old eunuch. He must be the man assigned to him by the emperor, right?

"Miss Su, are you awake?" The father-in-law greeted Su Xiaoxi with a smile.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, father-in-law." Su Xiaoxi smiled sweetly at the father-in-law.

"Haha, Miss Su, you're welcome. This is what a slave should do." The father-in-law seemed to be quite respectful to Su Xiaoxi.

Immediately, the father-in-law pointed to the group of neatly dressed soldiers and introduced to Su Xiaoxi: "Miss Su, these are the most brave and capable guards in our palace. If Miss Su needs anything, you can ask them to do it. "

"it is good."

Immediately, Su Xiaoxi followed the father-in-law to the imperial dining room.

Along the way, Su Xiaoxi noticed those people's eyes falling on her, seemingly inquiringly.

These looks made Su Xiaoxi feel very uncomfortable, but she could only endure it.

"What would Miss Su want to eat?" the father-in-law asked in the imperial dining room.

"Spicy tofu, boiled shredded pork, garlic greens, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised carp, West Lake beef tenderloin, white-cut chicken, tomato and egg soup, vegetarian stir-fried spinach, mushroom stewed chicken..." Su Xiaoxi reported dozens in one go. Sample cuisine.

After hearing this, everyone in the imperial dining room looked at Su Xiaoxi in shock, as if they were considering whether she could handle the amount of so many dishes.

However, Su Xiaoxi's expression remained calm.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and get ready." The steward of the Imperial Kitchen looked at the stunned people and scolded them.

"Yes."

So, the father-in-law personally took Su Xiaoxi to select the ingredients, while the others performed their duties.

Su Xiaoxi spent nearly two hours in total selecting meals that were enough for her and Nangong Che, and then asked the imperial kitchen to deliver them to Nangong Chen.

When Nangong Chen learned that the food had been delivered from the imperial kitchen, a faint smile appeared on his face, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking.

During lunch, Su Xiaoxi sat at the table and enjoyed the sumptuous meal alone. She ate with gusto, even more voraciously than usual.

Such a reaction attracted Nangong Chen's frequent glances.

Could it be that his memory was failing and he forgot that Su Xiaoxi was not like this when he was in the military camp.

Nangong Chen was thinking secretly, when the door was suddenly pushed open.

The person who came in was Eunuch Li, "Your Majesty, Miss Su is here."

Hearing this, Nangong Chen looked up and saw Su Xiaoxi slowly walking in with her skirt in hand, her movements light and dignified.

"See your Majesty." Su Xiaoxi lowered her head and saluted Nangong Che.

"No gifts! Miss Su, come and have a cup of tea with me." Nangong Chen greeted Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi looked up and saw a man in a bright yellow brocade robe sitting on a high seat, smiling kindly at her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Xiaoxi slowly walked towards Nangong Chen, but she went straight to the point, "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has a plan that will allow the Emperor to get rid of the Northern Desert Kingdom in a logical way and achieve what he wants."

"Oh?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Nangong Chen's eyes, as if he didn't expect that a girl as young as Su Xiaoxi would say such words.

Su Xiaoxi understood the surprise in Nangong Chen's eyes, but did not explain anything more.

She believes that this world is a place where strength speaks instead of words.

I just hope that Nangong Chen won't be disappointed, and she won't let him down either.

"Your Majesty wants to know what the plot the civilian girl is talking about is?" Su Xiaoxi continued to ask.

"Well, Miss Su, it doesn't matter."

"Can the emperor send people to pretend to attack the city, and then lead the attack with the army? In this way, the Beimo Kingdom will be in chaos, and the emperor can take advantage of the victory to pursue. Moreover, the emperor does not have to waste his troops. In this way, the emperor can kill two birds with one stone." Su Xiaoxi said clearly. , with a serious expression on his face, Nangong Chen couldn't help but feel that this matter indeed made sense.

only……

"The method Miss Su said is certainly good, but..."

Nangong Chen said, but stopped talking.

"But what?" Su Xiaoxi asked urgently.

"The king of the Northern Desert Country is extremely shrewd. Although he is the king of a country, he is extremely defensive."

"Oh?" Su Xiaoxi frowned slightly. She really didn't think that there were wars between countries in this world just now.

But if you think about it carefully, if it weren't for the confrontation between countries, how could so many people die?

"What does the emperor mean?"

"Miss Su, don't blame me. I really don't dare to take such a risk." Nangong Chen's tone was full of apologies.

After all, if he loses, it means he will lose his country and his country.

"The people's daughter understands that the emperor is afraid that the people's daughter has ulterior motives and deliberately set up a trap to deceive the emperor's trust and take the opportunity to kill the emperor, right?" Su Xiaoxi asked, with a sincere expression when she spoke, without any hint of hypocrisy.

Hearing that Su Xiaoxi was so direct, Nangong Chen couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoxi with admiration. It turned out that this seemingly innocent and harmless girl was actually so smart.

"Miss Su, this matter is of great importance and I need to consider it carefully."

Although he appreciated it, Nangong Chen did not agree to what Su Xiaoxi said. Instead, he wanted to observe more.

This can be regarded as giving Su Xiaoxi enough face.

"Your Majesty, please consider it. A daughter of the people will never force it. However, the situation is critical at the moment. If the Emperor does not send troops for a long time, I am afraid that the people will be harassed by the Northern Desert Kingdom again."

Listening to Su Xiaoxi's heartfelt words, Nangong Chen fell into silence.

At this moment, Nangong Chen's personal bodyguard walked in.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the general at the border." As he spoke, he handed over a secret letter in his hand.

Nangong Chen picked up the secret letter and browsed it quickly, his expression became more and more solemn and his brows furrowed more tightly.

"What's wrong? But what's the problem?" Su Xiaoxi asked, and at the same time she felt suspicious in her heart, what could happen over there at the border?

Could it be that something happened to Beirong?

No, this is illogical, because Nangong Chen had someone check it last night. Logically speaking, Beirong should not send troops so quickly.

So why is this?

Su Xiaoxi couldn't guess and just waited for Nangong Chen's answer.

After a long time, Nangong Chen put down the secret letter, sighed, and said quietly, "There is a situation at the Beirong border."
