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

"Xia He, what do you think of the consort?" Su Xiaoxi put the note written by Cheng Shubai on the table and asked Xia He.

"What does the princess mean?" Xia He asked.

Su Xiaoxi raised her lips slightly, "For example, the appearance of the parents and their temperament."

Hearing this, Xia He fell into silence.

After a long time, Xia He raised his eyes and looked at Su Xiaoxi, and said seriously: "The appearance of the Prince Consort is that of a heavenly being, and the temperament of the Prince Consort... I have little knowledge and cannot see the temperament of the Prince Consort."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, but she didn't mean to blame Xia He.

"Forget it, let's go down and rest first."

"Yes."

Su Xiaoxi sat alone at the table and looked at the note left by Cheng Shubai for a long time.

He was secretly guessing what kind of person he was.

She didn't want to believe that Cheng Shubai would kill his mother and concubine.

However, if it wasn't because of Cheng Shubai, then who was it?

Su Xiaoxi was puzzled.

When Su Xiaoxi woke up the next morning, she heard news from outside the city that someone had kidnapped His Highness the Crown Prince, and now the entire imperial city's guards had gone out to search.

It was also said that an assassin was absconding, and the emperor was furious and sent his guards to pursue him.

Listening to such news, Su Xiaoxi felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, but she didn't show it at all.

"Princess, are you okay?" Seeing Su Xiaoxi's calm look, Chunlan asked worriedly.

"I am fine."

"Oh.." Chunlan responded, and then spoke again as if she remembered something, "Princess, this morning, the emperor summoned Cheng's consort."

"Cheng Shubai?" Su Xiaoxi frowned.

"Yes, it is said that Cheng's consort also rejected the emperor in public, and the emperor was furious." Chunlan nodded.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi was also very shocked. She didn't know what the emperor said, but Cheng Shubai actually refused.

Did something happen between them?

"I'm going to change clothes first." Su Xiaoxi said, then got up and walked behind the screen.

After changing into a white dress, Su Xiaoxi was about to go out when she saw Chunlan sticking her head out from behind the screen, "Princess."

"Huh?" Su Xiaoxi looked at Chunlan in confusion.

"Consort Cheng came to see the princess and said he wanted to take her hunting with him." Chunlan said hesitantly, "Princess, aren't you going?"

"Me?" Su Xiaoxi hesitated.

She always felt that Cheng Shubai's invitation to go hunting was not simple.

After all, Cheng Shubai had just rejected the emperor, and it seemed a little too weird to invite her to go with him today.

"Yes, princess, the prince-in-law has come to invite you in person. Do we want to go?"

Listening to Chunlan's expectant tone, Su Xiaoxi sighed, but still nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxi agreed, Chunlan cheered happily.

Su Xiaoxi changed her clothes and then left the palace.

Just as he stepped out of the door, he ran into a pair of deep black eyes.

Su Xiaoxi was startled.

This was the second time she met Cheng Shubai, twice.

This time, Cheng Shubai was wearing a crescent white brocade robe, and he was still a handsome gentleman with a graceful demeanor.

"Madam." Seeing Su Xiaoxi come out, Cheng Shubai called politely.

This title made Su Xiaoxi frown. Then she returned to normal and said with a smile: "Ms. sir, why did you think of inviting me to join the hunt today?"

Cheng Shubai did not look directly into Su Xiaoxi's eyes, but lowered his gaze and said calmly: "In my spare time, I will ask you to hunt together."

Su Xiaoxi smiled, "I'm afraid my father won't agree to this!"

She was sure that the emperor must hate Cheng Shubai.

Sure enough, when he heard Su Xiaoxi mention the emperor, Cheng Shubai's eyes became a little colder, but then he returned to normal and said calmly: "It doesn't matter."

Su Xiaoxi smiled and did not continue to dwell on this matter.

Afterwards, the two of them walked in the direction of the hunting ground without saying anything.

This year's Autumn Hunting, Su Xiaoxi did not accompany His Highness the Crown Prince to attend, but chose to stay.

She wanted to know what was going on.

Everyone in the hunting ground has already gathered here. It is estimated that there are more than 50 people participating in the hunt today.

Among them were men and women, either riding horses or leading horses.

Among them, Su Xiaoxi also met Cheng Shubai.

Su Xiaoxi was followed by Chunlan, while Cheng Shubai was riding a horse side by side with another man.

"Princess, look." Chunlan pulled the reins and whispered into Su Xiaoxi's ear.

Looking in the direction of Chunlan's finger, Su Xiaoxi's eyes suddenly widened.

Cheng Shubai was seen holding an arrow in his hand, with a lively hare stuck in the arrow.

"Wow, Prince Consort Cheng is so awesome. This shot is really accurate." Someone on the side couldn't help but admired.

Su Xiaoxi noticed that Cheng Shubai's face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Ms. sir, let me help you dismount and have a rest." Su Xiaoxi said softly, then stretched out her arm to help Cheng Shubai.

"It's okay." Cheng Shubai shook his head, but it was obvious that his physical condition was not good.

Seeing Cheng Shubai's insistence, Su Xiaoxi gave up.

Immediately, Cheng Shubai got off his horse and handed the bow to the soldier on the side. Then he walked to Su Xiaoxi and said to Su Xiaoxi, "Madam, come with me."

After saying that, he led the way from the front.

"Cheng Shubai, wait a minute." Seeing Cheng Shubai walk away, Su Xiaoxi shouted.

"Madam, what's the matter?" Cheng Shubai stopped and turned to look at Su Xiaoxi with warm eyes.

"Are you sick?"

Su Xiaoxi asked. Cheng Shubai's face was pale and there were some black spots under his eyes.

Hearing this, Cheng Shubai smiled and then said, "I didn't get a good rest last night."

"Yeah." Su Xiaoxi nodded.

Although she was not completely sure of Cheng Shubai's condition, his symptoms were very similar to those previously diagnosed.

I just hope that this time he won't be like last time.

Immediately, Su Xiaoxi also got off the horse and slowly approached Cheng Shubai.

"Cheng Shubai, your body..."

Cheng Shubai frowned slightly, "No problem."

Su Xiaoxi pursed her lips, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Cheng Shubai looked dazed for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Su Xiaoxi looked at Cheng Shubai and hesitated to speak, but finally had no choice but to give up.

Cheng Shubai knew what she wanted to ask, but he couldn't say it.

So, Su Xiaoxi stopped asking and followed Cheng Shubai towards the hunting ground.

"Princess." Chunlan stood there and looked at Cheng Shubai and Su Xiaoxi who were drifting away, feeling worried.

"Don't worry. Since Cheng Shubai can come out safe and sound, it means he is confident enough." Su Xiaoxi comforted him, then got on his horse and said, "Let's go."

Su Xiaoxi took the lead and rode away, followed closely by Chunlan. The two horses started running and quickly threw away the other horses.
