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

"Then..." Su Xiaoxi wanted to give some more advice, but was interrupted by Nangong Chen.

"I will handle this matter properly, you don't have to worry about it."

Su Xiaoxi pursed her lips and said no more.

This was his housework, and she really shouldn't interfere too much, lest she offend others.

After dinner, Nangong Chen asked Su Xiaoxi to stay and play Go with her.

"I don't know chess, you can just give me the command." Nangong Chen sat on the stone bench and motioned for Su Xiaoxi to sit next to him.

Su Xiaoxi didn't show any pretense, sat down next to Nangong Chen and picked up the chess pieces.

After finishing the game, Nangong Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."

Although it was just two simple words, the joy and praise in Nangong Chen's tone was undisguised.

"Thank you father for the compliment." Su Xiaoxi replied lightly.

"I have thought about it, if Beirong no longer invades Daning, I don't mind peaceful coexistence." Nangong Chen suddenly spoke and expressed his thoughts.

Su Xiaoxi frowned, "But if Beirong doesn't withdraw from Daning, I'm afraid it will be even more wreaking havoc in the future."

Su Xiaoxi's worries were not groundless. She naturally knew what the consequences would be if war broke out.

At that time, the Daning Dynasty had already been torn apart by the flames of war, and almost everyone in the city was dead.

After hearing this, Nangong Chen just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I won't let them get what they want."

With that said, Nangong Chen looked at Su Xiaoxi, "What about you? What do you think?"

"Me?" Su Xiaoxi was slightly startled. What could she say?

She is not a Holy Mother. She doesn't want to get involved in those messy things, so she won't comment.

But she knew that after a battle, the losses to the army would be immeasurable.

Su Xiaoxi felt very conflicted, but in the end she could only sigh, "I will try my best."

Seeing Su Xiaoxi like this, Nangong Chen didn't force it, "Well, thank you for your hard work. Eat more!"

Su Xiaoxi didn't refuse, just picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

However, the things about Beirong that Nangong Chen mentioned just now always came to mind, and his heart felt a little heavy.

On the other side, Nangong Chen looked at Su Xiaoxi's back and fell into deep thought.

This girl's attitude made Nangong Chen feel incomprehensible.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." While Nangong Chen was concentrating, the timid and urgent voice of the maid came to his ears.

"What's the matter?" After controlling his emotions, Nangong Chen looked out the door and asked coldly.

The door was opened, and an older nanny walked into the study with a gorgeously dressed girl.

"His Majesty……"

When the girl saw Nangong Chen, she knelt down and saluted.

"Get up!" Nangong Chen's tone became much gentler and he looked at Su Xiaoxi, "This is Concubine Ning's niece."

"Your Majesty..." the girl choked and shouted, tears rolling down her face.

Su Xiaoxi glanced at the girl and then looked away.

Nangong Chen ordered the maid on one side to give the girl a seat.

The girl kowtowed to Nangong Chen in turn before sitting down.

"How is Concubine Ning?"

Nangong Chen asked, with a worried look on his face.

"My aunt was injured and fell into a coma. The imperial doctor said..." After saying this, the girl choked up and couldn't stop her tears.

"Don't cry, your aunt is blessed by God." He patted the girl's shoulder and comforted her, then turned to Su Xiaoxi, "Xiaoxi, go check on Concubine Ning."

"Yes." Su Xiaoxi stood up and walked towards the girl.

The girl raised her head and glanced at Su Xiaoxi, her eyes flashing with caution.

"Don't worry, my medical skills are very good, you don't have to be afraid." Sensing the girl's defensiveness, Su Xiaoxi said with a smile.

"Can you really heal my aunt?" the girl asked hesitantly.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Of course."

"Okay then." Hearing what Su Xiaoxi said, the girl relaxed a lot and then let Su Xiaoxi pull her up towards the inner room.

After Su Xiaoxi and the girl left, Nangong Chen looked deeply at the chess game on the table.

At this moment, a stubborn face appeared in his mind, with a doting curve at the corner of his mouth.

His child is indeed different.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ning is awake!"

Soon, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the door.

Immediately afterwards, Nangong Chen stood up and quickly headed towards the outer hall.

When Su Xiaoxi heard that Nangong Chen was going to see Concubine Ning, she paused slightly, but only for a moment, and then followed her.

Concubine Ning's bedroom was much more luxurious and exquisite than the one in the morning.

It's just that the house is a little messy.

In front of the bed, there was a palace maid waiting on Concubine Ning to take medicine. Concubine Ning was lying on the bed looking sick and extremely weak.

Seeing Nangong Chen coming, Concubine Ning quickly struggled to get up from the bed.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Concubine Ning called Nangong Chen, her eyes red and swollen.

"I'm here, don't get excited." As he said that, Nangong Chen stepped forward and held Concubine Ning's hand, caressing it gently, his eyes full of love.

"Now that you are here, I will feel at ease." Concubine Ning gave a weak smile.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Nangong Chen promised, with determination in his eyes.

Nangong Chen at this moment makes people feel trustworthy.

Su Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Chen like this from a distance, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart for no reason.

"Concubine Ning, take a good rest first, and then talk about anything else after you recover from your injuries." At this time, Su Xiaoxi spoke slowly.

"Thank you for your concern, princess." After hearing what Su Xiaoxi said, Concubine Ning expressed her gratitude to Su Xiaoxi.

"You're welcome." Su Xiaoxi waved her hand and walked out of the palace.

"Xiao Xi!" When Su Xiaoxi was about to leave, Nangong Chen called out to Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi stopped and turned to look at Nangong Chen.

"Are you sincere in what you said today?" Nangong Chen stared at Su Xiaoxi with burning eyes and asked.

Su Xiaoxi frowned, what did she say?

She just told the truth according to the facts.

"My son, I don't understand what my father means." Su Xiaoxi said calmly.

"You are a smart woman, I believe you understand what I mean." Nangong Chen looked at Su Xiaoxi seriously and said his request, "How is Concubine Ning's condition now?"

Nangong Chen's words made Su Xiaoxi suddenly realize that it turned out that Nangong Chen asked this question because of this incident.

After thinking for a while, Su Xiaoxi said, "Concubine Ning's condition is stable for the time being."

"Are you sure?" Nangong Chen seemed to have some doubts about Su Xiaoxi's words.

After all, Su Xiaoxi has been with Concubine Ning during this period, so she should be aware of Concubine Ning's physical condition.

"My son, I'm sure." Su Xiaoxi replied affirmatively.

"Okay, tell me when Concubine Ning will be completely recovered."

"It will take at least half a month."

"Then I will give you a one-month deadline. I hope you will live up to my instructions." Nangong Chen said to Su Xiaoxi seriously.

Su Xiaoxi nodded, "I will do my best."
