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

"Xiao Xi'er, are you okay if you didn't rest last night?" Cheng Shubai couldn't help but asked with concern.

Although he knew that Su Xiaoxi didn't like to be touched by others, Cheng Shubai still reached out and held Su Xiaoxi's arm and massaged her gently.

"fine."

When Su Xiaoxi spoke, her voice was still hoarse.

"Xiao Xi'er, are you really not feeling any discomfort?"

Su Xiaoxi shook her head, "It's okay, I just have no appetite. I felt sleepy again after eating the porridge."

"Then you continue to sleep and I will watch over you." Cheng Shubai said softly.

Su Xiaoxi nodded and did not refuse Cheng Shubai's help. Perhaps it was because she had enough sleep last night, and Su Xiaoxi was not sleepy at this time.

Su Xiaoxi simply sat up, leaning on the sofa and looking out the window in trance.

"Xiao Xi'er, it's cold outside, you'd better go back to bed and lie down." Cheng Shubai couldn't help but remind Su Xiaoxi.

"I'll just sit down for a while."

Cheng Shubai sighed and immediately sat next to Su Xiaoxi.

At this time, Su Xiaoxi turned around and said, "Ms. sir, now our Daning Dynasty has won, are you happy?"

Cheng Shubai was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Xiao Xi'er, are you kidding your husband?"

Su Xiaoxi pursed her lips and said, "No." After a pause, Su Xiaoxi continued: "We Daning won. From now on, Beirong will not dare to bully us Daning. We can all stand upright under the sun. Aren't you happy? ?" Su Xiaoxi asked, her eyes falling on Cheng Shubai's face.

Cheng Shubai listened to Su Xiaoxi's words, and his heart was full of smiles. His eyes looking at Su Xiaoxi became deeper and deeper, as if he wanted to absorb Su Xiaoxi's whole body.

Su Xiaoxi did not dodge Cheng Shubai's gaze.

In the end, it was Cheng Shubai who looked away and said with a smile, "Of course I'm happy, my little Xi'er is amazing."

"But I still hope to return safely." Su Xiaoxi murmured.

Su Xiaoxi's words made Cheng Shubai feel a little stirred in his heart. He could guess what Su Xiaoxi's words meant.

"Xiao Xi'er, are you...still blaming me?" Cheng Shubai asked tentatively.

"No, no." Su Xiaoxi replied, "I'm just a little scared. I don't know how my parents are doing now."

"I have brought them all over, and they are all in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. Do you want to go and have a look?" Cheng Shubai suggested.

Su Xiaoxi looked up at Cheng Shubai, then shook her head, "It's better to wait until my injury recovers completely."

Cheng Shubai didn't force it anymore, he knew that Su Xiaoxi was in trouble.

……

After chatting with Cheng Shubai for a long time, Su Xiaoxi fell asleep a little tiredly. She didn't wake up until the palace maid came to call her at noon.

Cheng Shubai was no longer by his side. Su Xiaoxi opened the brocade quilt and got out of bed, changed clothes and freshened up.

In the past few days, she rarely moved.

"Princess..." the palace maid shouted cautiously, for fear of frightening Su Xiaoxi.

"Where's Cheng Shubai?" Su Xiaoxi said, with a bit of urgency in her tone.

"The Chief Assistant came to see the Holy One early in the morning, saying that His Majesty had something to do with them." The palace maid reported tremblingly.

"Oh! I know." After Su Xiaoxi finished speaking, she walked to the table and sat down, picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat.

Just as I picked up a piece of meat, I felt a turbulent feeling in my stomach.

"vomit……"

Su Xiaoxi immediately rushed aside and vomited.

Her food has not been very sweet these days, so Cheng Shubai cooked some porridge for her today, but Su Xiaoxi vomited it all out at once.

Cheng Shubai came over after hearing the sound, looked at Su Xiaoxi's pale and haggard face, and stroked Su Xiaoxi's cheek distressedly, "Xiao Xi'er, are you okay?"

Su Xiaoxi shook her head, "I'm fine, I just haven't had a good appetite these two days."

Su Xiaoxi felt that she must be acclimatized, and as long as she took care of herself for a period of time, she would be fine.

"It's fine."

Cheng Shubai helped Su Xiaoxi sit on the stool, poured a cup of tea for Su Xiaoxi and handed it to her.

Su Xiaoxi took it and took a sip.

Putting down the cup, Su Xiaoxi asked: "Didn't you say that the emperor invited you? Why are you still busy here?"

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Cheng Shubai's face, "Xiao Xi'er, actually..."

Su Xiaoxi saw that Cheng Shubai was hesitant to speak, and couldn't help but frowned, "What is it actually?"

"No...it's nothing." Cheng Shubai quickly covered it up.

"Cheng Shubai, are you hiding something from me?" Su Xiaoxi stared at Cheng Shubai suspiciously.

It was impossible for Cheng Shubai to hide this matter from himself.

Sure enough, after Cheng Shubai hesitated for a moment, he chose to tell the truth frankly, "Now Beirong has sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and the emperor wants to take the opportunity to annex Beirong."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi frowned, "Why do you suddenly want to annex Beirong?"

"Because Beirong has serious internal and external troubles and the people are miserable. If we don't annex Beirong, I'm afraid Beirong will become a thorn in our side."

"What do you mean..." Su Xiaoxi was a little unsure of what Cheng Shubai meant.

"Yes."

Su Xiaoxi was silent. Originally, she thought that Beirong would be destroyed, but now...

"Xiao Xi'er, our Daning has won. You can't live in pain all your life. Beirong will perish sooner or later. Think about it, if your parents and relatives, including our children, all died unexpectedly, would you be willing? "

This is a heart-wrenching statement.

Su Xiaoxi never considered whether she would kill too much.

But now, Cheng Shubai mentioned her child and she didn't want to kill.

Every word of Cheng Shubai's words struck Su Xiaoxi's mind.

After a long time, Su Xiaoxi raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Shubai, "I understand, I agree."

Hearing Su Xiaoxi's answer, Cheng Shubai breathed a sigh of relief.

What worried him most was that Su Xiaoxi still couldn't let go of the hatred in her heart.

"Thank you."

"Cheng Shubai, I don't want you to lie to me in the future." Su Xiaoxi looked at Cheng Shubai seriously, with determination in her eyes.

Cheng Shubai nodded solemnly, "I promise, it won't happen again, never."

Cheng Shubai promised.

"Xiao Xi'er, where do you plan to go when you go back this time?" Cheng Shubai asked.

“I don’t know for the time being, let’s take a step and see.

In these three days, Su Xiaoxi needs to take good care of her body.

After Cheng Shubai left, Su Xiaoxi stayed behind closed doors to recuperate without seeing anyone.

As soon as Cheng Shubai returned to the mansion, he went straight to Mrs. Cheng's room.

At this time, Mrs. Cheng was still in a coma.

Brother Cheng and his family were sitting on the edge of the couch, holding Mrs. Cheng's hand with anxious expressions on their faces.

The moment Cheng Shubai pushed open the door and entered, both people in the room were startled.

"Third brother, you're back." Sister-in-law Cheng looked at Cheng Shubai and rushed forward excitedly.

Cheng Shubai nodded gently, and then handed Mrs. Cheng over to Mrs. Cheng. Then he looked at Mrs. Cheng, his eyes were red, and he felt guilty and sour in his heart.
