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

Of course, Su Xiaoxi still specially gave some key instructions to the shopkeeper, such as seasonings and so on.

The shopkeeper remembered everything in his mind, saying that he would never forget it.

……

It was already noon when I came out of Zuixiang Tower.

Su Xiaoxi did not go back to the palace but stopped by to visit Cheng Shubai. Cheng Shubai was quite surprised when he saw Su Xiaoxi coming.

"What's the wind blowing today? Why did the princess come suddenly?"

Cheng Shubai's tone was calm, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all.

Su Xiaoxi didn't mince words with Cheng Shubai and stated her purpose straightforwardly.

"I heard that there will be a murder in the Grand Master's residence in the near future?" Su Xiaoxi stared at Cheng Shubai, not missing any expression on his face.

"Oh?" Cheng Shubai pretended to be surprised, "How did the princess know about this?"

Seeing that Cheng Shubai was still trying to pretend to be confused with him at this time, Su Xiaoxi became angry.

"Cheng Shubai, don't pretend to be stupid with me!"

"Madam, what do you mean?" Cheng Shubai still looked indifferent, unable to tell what was going on in his heart.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. The reason why you are making plans with your father is to eliminate the spies within the Daning Dynasty. In fact, you have secretly sent people to rescue Nangong Che."

Although Su Xiaoxi was not sure whether Cheng Xubai had rescued Nangong Che, but since she had doubted it, she was right.

After all, Cheng Xuming's behavior has always been mysterious and unpredictable.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Xiaoxi said these words, Cheng Shubai's originally indifferent expression suddenly stiffened.

"Ha, it seems that during this period, the lady has been well informed."

Cheng Shubai's sarcasm confirmed what Su Xiaoxi had guessed, but Su Xiaoxi ignored the sarcasm in Cheng Shubai's words.

"What do you want to do?" Su Xiaoxi frowned and looked at Cheng Shubai, with inquiry in her eyes.

Regarding the man in front of her, Su Xiaoxi always felt that he had his own elusive thoughts.

"Isn't it clear to the princess what I want to do?" Cheng Shubai raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his eyes were so deep that no one could see through them.

Su Xiaoxi pursed her lips and said nothing.

"If you just want to question me, I'm afraid it's unnecessary." After saying this, Cheng Shubai turned around and prepared to leave, not bothering to talk nonsense to Su Xiaoxi.

But this time, Su Xiaoxi blocked Cheng Shubai's way.

"Cheng Shubai, I want to help you." Su Xiaoxi got straight to the point.

Cheng Shubai's steps stopped because of Su Xiaoxi's words, and he slowly raised his head to look at Su Xiaoxi.

"help me?"

"Yes, I know you have been planning, but I can tell you that if you do this, everything will be in vain." Su Xiaoxi was serious and serious.

Su Xiaoxi had a good impression of Cheng Shubai.In other words, she liked Cheng Shubai very much.

Although Su Xiaoxi didn't know why she had such thoughts, she just liked getting along with such people.

At least, this will give people a sincere feeling, unlike those who are gentle on the surface and vicious on the inside.

Cheng Shubai looked at Su Xiaoxi with deep eyes.

After a while, Cheng Shubai finally said, "How can I help my lady?"

"Cheng Shubai, you know my temper." Su Xiaoxi looked at Cheng Shubai, "If you are willing, I will help you."

"Oh? Tell me?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is currently imprisoned in Beirong Kingdom. You should know better than me the stakes involved. Are you sure you want to continue like this?"

"so what?"

Su Xiaoxi shook her head, "You are so stubborn, it will lead to disaster sooner or later, and no one can protect you by then."

"Haha." After hearing what Su Xiaoxi said, Cheng Shubai sneered.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at myself for being stupid." Cheng Shubai smiled bitterly, "I won't let myself get into trouble. Even if one day, I won't let them get the handle."

"Cheng Shubai!"

"Madam, you don't understand."

"Why don't I understand?"

"You never know how tempting power is. There are some things that I can't resist." Cheng Shubai's hands were clenched into fists, with clear joints.

He cannot fail and will never allow anything that threatens him to exist.

Su Xiaoxi was silent, she didn't understand how the attraction of power could make a person become so crazy.

Su Xiaoxi even suspected that Cheng Shubai's madness might be much more terrifying than the Cheng Shubai she had encountered before.

Looking at Cheng Shubai, a sentence suddenly popped up in Su Xiaoxi's mind: One thought becomes a devil, one thought becomes a Buddha.

Yes, this world is originally a society where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive.

"I can help you, but you must promise me that we each get what we need." Su Xiaoxi looked at Cheng Shubai sharply.

Su Xiaoxi and Cheng Shubai were married, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was her biological brother, so naturally she would not just sit idly by.

But she hoped that Cheng Shubai would not go astray.

"Do you think we have anything else in common?" Cheng Shubai asked.

Su Xiaoxi said nothing. The only thing she and Cheng Shubai have in common is that they are both time-travelling women.

This is why Cheng Shubai was so tolerant to himself. Not only did he not force himself to hand over the space key, but he also asked Cheng Yunfei to shield himself from all the blame.

Su Xiaoxi will keep this friendship in mind.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt them." Finally, Su Xiaoxi promised.

"So, I promise you." Cheng Shubai nodded.

"Okay, you wait for my news."

After the words fell, Su Xiaoxi turned and left.

Cheng Shubai stood there and watched Su Xiaoxi leave without moving for a long time.

"Sir, why did you suddenly change your mind?" After Su Xiaoxi left, a person suddenly walked out of the darkness. It was Cheng Shubai's personal guard - Mo Yi.

"Mo Yi, what do you think?" Cheng Shubai suddenly asked.

"I feel that your master's plan will not be that simple. If it is not a foolproof plan, I do not recommend you to take the risk." Mo Yi persuaded seriously.

"Do you think Miss Su will help us?" Cheng Shubai asked, without any emotion in his voice.

This matter was a temporary decision made by him, and even Mo Yi didn't know about it.

However, Mo Yi seemed to have predicted it in advance and stopped him on the eve of making a decision.

This made Cheng Shubai a little surprised that there was such a smart person hiding around him.

Mo Yi did not answer immediately. After a moment, he said, "Madam is a smart person. She will not just sit idly by."

"Ah."

"However, I am worried that I cannot find out the background of Miss Su." Mo Yi continued, "Sir, if such a person is..."

Mo Yi didn't say anything else, but the meaning was already obvious.
