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

Su Xiaoxi is a dangerous woman, and from Su Xiaoxi's remarks just now, Mo Yi judged that Su Xiaoxi seemed to have ambitions for Daning's empire.

Although the emperor is unconscious now, the royal family still controls the entire Tiansheng.

If Su Xiaoxi wants to rebel, it is not impossible. Cheng Shubai has also considered Mo Yi's concerns.

However, if we don't take the risk, how can we find out the murderer behind the scenes?He was unwilling to give up like this.

"I have my own sense of discretion in this matter, please step back." Finally, Cheng Shubai ordered, and then entered the house.

When Su Xiaoxi returned to her palace, Concubine Hui had already arrived and was chatting with the imperial concubine.

"My son and my wife are here to join the concubine." Su Xiaoxi saluted respectfully, with a faint smile on her face.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Concubine." Su Xiaoxi stood up and sat in her seat. She looked around and saw no trace of Nangong Chen.

"Mother and concubine, Father, he..." Su Xiaoxi asked.

In the past few days, Nangong Chen has been very busy, coming back late every day, and his face is tired when he comes back.

This made Su Xiaoxi faintly aware that things were unusual.

"Your Majesty stayed at the Tai Chi Hall last night." Concubine Hui sighed softly, her expression quite gloomy.

"Father, he hasn't returned to the palace?"

Su Xiaoxi was surprised. According to common sense, Nangong Chen should come back instead of staying in Tai Chi Hall.

"He sent the Imperial Guard to guard the palace last night and discuss matters with all the ministers." Concubine Hui lowered her head, looking sad.

Nangong Chen's intentions are obvious.

Su Xiaoxi felt a pain in her heart and felt inexplicably distressed.

"Don't worry, mother and concubine, maybe my father has other plans."

"That's all, this is his choice, I respect it." Concubine Hui waved her hands, as if she didn't want to talk about it anymore.

And all of this was seen by Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi looked at Concubine Hui's haggard appearance with mixed feelings in her heart.

However, since Concubine Hui was unwilling to talk about the matter, Su Xiaoxi did not ask further.

However, many speculations arose in his mind about Nangong Chen's move.

Regardless of whether it was actually Nangong Chen's instruction, Su Xiaoxi believed that he would not harm his mother, concubine, and brother.

that's enough.

"Concubine, I have to say goodbye beforehand." Su Xiaoxi stood up and prepared to leave.

"Xiao Xi..." Concubine Hui called Su Xiaoxi, "This autumn is the emperor's birthday. Would you like to go and congratulate him on behalf of the court?"

Concubine Hui's tone contained a pleading that was irresistible.

Su Xiaoxi raised her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her. Her face was pale and she was in poor spirits.

Looking at Concubine Hui's expectant eyes, Su Xiaoxi had no way to say no, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Thank you, Xiaoxi."

"Mother and concubine, we won't say any polite words. As long as mother and concubine is happy."

Su Xiaoxi curled her lips slightly and smiled brightly.

"Okay." Concubine Hui nodded with tears in her eyes. Looking at the child in front of her, she couldn't help but reach out and touch Su Xiaoxi's cheek, her eyes filled with relief.

At first, I was indeed right.

This girl is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. She is a rare good girl.

"Concubine, if you are not feeling well, please stop working so hard and rest quickly!"

After saying that, Su Xiaoxi left Kunning Palace without giving Hui Fei a chance to refute.

Looking at Su Xiaoxi's leaving figure, Concubine Hui's eyes gradually turned red.

This child has not been with her since she was a child and has been suffering. She owes her too much.

Now that she has finally found it, how can she be willing to let him down?

After figuring it out, Concubine Hui showed a relieved smile, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, when Su Xiaoxi got up, she found that a sumptuous breakfast had already been placed on the table, but it was already cold.

Presumably, this is the breakfast Hui Fei ordered the people in the kitchen to prepare specially for herself.

Su Xiaoxi felt warm in her heart, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the food. It tasted good.

After breakfast, Su Xiaoxi changed her clothes and put on a curtain hat. She was going to leave the palace.

"Where is Cheng Shubai?" Su Xiaoxi didn't find Cheng Shubai in the yard, so she couldn't help asking Uncle Fu who was waiting at the side.

When Uncle Fu heard this, his face became slightly solemn, "Master Cheng will not come to have dinner today."

These words made Su Xiaoxi frown, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged in her heart.

"When did you leave?" Su Xiaoxi asked hurriedly.

"At three quarters past nine o'clock." Uncle Fu replied truthfully.

"What?" Su Xiaoxi shouted in surprise.

He left in the middle of the night without leaving a single word.

Is he avoiding himself on purpose?

After thinking about it, Su Xiaoxi still felt that things were not that simple, "Then did he say where he was going?"

"I don't know about this slave, but according to the report from the little eunuch at the door, the master's face was very gloomy when he went out." Uncle Fu told the truth.

Looking gloomy?Su Xiaoxi frowned, then turned around and hurried out of the chief minister's residence.

In the carriage outside the palace, Su Xiaoxi felt lost for a while.

She always felt that Cheng Shubai's departure must be because of her, but why?

Now that things were developing seriously, Su Xiaoxi didn't think too much and headed directly towards the border camp, hoping to meet Nangong Che.

However, when Su Xiaoxi came to the place where Nangong Che was stationed and looked at the empty tents and the soldiers standing guard, Su Xiaoxi froze on the spot.

"The Chief Assistant has arrived -" Suddenly, a shout came from the distance.

Listening to the familiar voice, Su Xiaoxi quickly turned back and looked at the source of the sound.

Su Xiaoxi didn't waste any time and quickly followed.

When they arrived at the tent pointed by the guard, it turned out to be Cheng Shubai's bedroom, and they also saw Cheng Shubai's personal guard Mo Yi.

"See Your Highness the Princess." Seeing Su Xiaoxi coming over, Mo Yiyi performed a standard military salute with a very respectful attitude.

"Where is Cheng Shubai?" After looking around and finding no trace of Cheng Shubai, Su Xiaoxi frowned and asked Xiang Moyi.

"Princess Qi, the First Assistant led his troops and left early in the morning. The specific destination is unknown." Mo Yi continued to salute and reported the news in a strict manner.

Su Xiaoxi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and doubts abounded in her heart.

"Your Highness Princess, are you looking for an adult?" Seeing that Su Xiaoxi remained silent for a long time, Mo Yi couldn't help but ask again.

Listening to Mo Yi's words, Su Xiaoxi suddenly came back to her senses, "Well, did he explain anything?"

"Never."

Su Xiaoxi was silent, but that was expected.

Cheng Shubai was always cautious in doing things and would not tell anyone unless there were some special circumstances.

"Mo Yi, can you take a moment to speak?" After thinking for a while, Su Xiaoxi spoke.

"Please."

The two of them walked to a corner and stopped. Su Xiaoxi lowered her voice a little, "What did Cheng Shubai say to you before he left?"

"Your Excellency just told me to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Mo Yi answered truthfully.
