"Ms. sir, please don't let anything happen to you." Su Xiaoxi closed her eyes and muttered silently.

She only hoped that she was not late and that nothing would happen to Cheng Shubai.

……

On the other side, Bei Mo stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the moonlight outside with a gloomy expression.

Suddenly, a figure quietly appeared and knelt down in front of Bei Mo.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have found out something. It is said that there is a temple outside the city called Guanyin Temple. There is a master with extraordinary medical skills. He can not only revive the flesh and bones of the dead, but can even bring the dead back to life..."

When Bei Mo heard this, his pupils instantly enlarged.

"Are you sure?" Beimo suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and asked in a low voice.

The man nodded immediately.

At this moment, Beimo felt like his whole mind was exploding.

"Get your horses ready immediately, I am going to the outskirts of the city." Bei Mo ordered.

"Yes!" The man accepted the order respectfully.

……

The next day, when Cheng Shubai woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was lying on a wooden rocking chair, with several pots of flowers in full bloom beside him.

The sun shone through the window on Cheng Shubai's face, which was warm and made Cheng Shubai feel comfortable.

The memories of last night gradually came to mind. Cheng Shubai sat up straight and looked around.

Where is this place?Why is he here?Didn't he meet Bei Mo?

However, Cheng Shubai didn't see Bei Mo's shadow. Could it be that he was sleepwalking?

Unable to help but sigh, Cheng Shubai got up from the bed and prepared to wash up, but the moment he stood up, he saw Su Xiaoxi coming in with some food.

Cheng Shubai was surprised and even more happy in his heart, but his face didn't show anything strange at all.

Seeing Cheng Shubai's pale face, Su Xiaoxi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

After saying that, Su Xiaoxi stepped forward and held Cheng Shubai's shoulders, "What's wrong with you?"

Cheng Shubai shook his head gently, "I'm fine, I'm just tired after a long night."

"Then take a rest quickly." Su Xiaoxi warned.

"Yeah!" Cheng Shubai smiled and looked at Su Xiaoxi, "Feed me."

Su Xiaoxi was stunned, "I didn't mean to feed you."

"Then help me change my clothes, and then take me to take a bath."

Listening to Cheng Shubai's natural words, Su Xiaoxi really wanted to rush up and punch him twice.

"Cheng Shubai, can you not be so naive?"

Cheng Shubai's lips curved slightly, "Am I naive? I think it's quite fun."

As he spoke, Cheng Shubai winked at Su Xiaoxi in a deliberately provocative manner.

Su Xiaoxi was almost defeated by Cheng Shubai.

"I don't have time to fool around with you. You can do whatever you like." After saying this, Su Xiaoxi turned and walked to the table, took out the breakfast and then the kettle.

This time, Cheng Shubai was not happy, "Hey, hey, what's your attitude?"

He didn't expect that he would offend Su Xiaoxi like this. After all, they are husband and wife, right?

Su Xiaoxi was too lazy to talk to Cheng Shubai and concentrated on packing her things.

"Hey, you are abusing patients, can you bear it?" Cheng Shubai protested.

Su Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, raised her eyes and glanced at Cheng Shubai, "How do you look like a patient?"

"Oh, look, you're being mean to me again." Cheng Shubai clutched his injured chest in pain.

Su Xiaoxi was too lazy to pay attention to Cheng Shubai, poured water into the teacup and handed it to Cheng Shubai, "Drink it, drink it and go to bed."

Cheng Shubai did not reach out to get the water, but looked at Su Xiaoxi with burning eyes, and said resentfully: "Aren't you hungry after drinking it?"

"Forget it, starve to death." Su Xiaoxi said angrily.

"Okay." Cheng Shubai had no choice but to hold the water glass obediently and drink it down.

"That's good. Have a good rest. I'll show you delicious food tomorrow." Su Xiaoxi said with satisfaction, patting Cheng Shubai's head.

Cheng Shubai was slightly startled.

This woman actually knows how to take her to eat and drink well!

She was worthy of being a princess of the Ning Dynasty. Her ambition and courage really impressed him.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Shubai asked doubtfully.

Su Xiaoxi shrugged, "My husband-in-law is injured. As a wife, of course I have to take him for treatment."

Cheng Shubai felt quite happy when he heard this, and looked at Su Xiaoxi with eyes full of love.

"Let's set off now." Su Xiaoxi urged.

"Didn't you say tomorrow?" Cheng Shubai was surprised.

"Yes, I changed my mind, can't I?" Su Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and retorted.

Cheng Shubai was helpless.

"I'd better not go with you, so as not to hurt you." Cheng Shubai looked at Su Xiaoxi aggrievedly, almost crying.

Su Xiaoxi was indifferent, "I don't mind you being a jerk."

"But I'm afraid you'll dislike me."

Su Xiaoxi: "..."

This man is really hypocritical.

"It's up to you. Since you don't want to, I'll go by myself."

"Don't don't..."

……

Su Xiaoxi went alone, and met the secret guards sent by Cheng Shubai on the way.

"Miss Su." The secret guard called respectfully.

"Please send Cheng Shubai to the Yuelai Inn on Jingcheng South Street and tell him that I have something very important to leave for a few days and let him make his own decision." Su Xiaoxi told the secret guard a few words.

Then she turned around and returned to the palace first. She needed to make arrangements with the head eunuch.

Although she is the princess of the Ning Dynasty, it will be useless if Nangong Che refuses. She is not his opponent at all.

Besides, I did break my promise this time.

She had promised to take him outside the city to relax, but something unexpected happened and she had no choice but to break the appointment.

"Princess, how many days will you be away?" the head eunuch asked with a frown after listening to Su Xiaoxi's narration.

"It's not clear yet, it should be a short period of time."

"Well, I will try my best to arrange it."

Su Xiaoxi nodded, "Thank you, manager."

However, as soon as Su Xiaoxi finished speaking, the head eunuch said hurriedly: "This is inappropriate. I cannot afford it if the prince blames me."

"Princess, please come back." After saying that, the head eunuch hurried away, apparently going to report Nangong Che.

"Ugh!"

Looking at the back of the head eunuch leaving in a hurry, Su Xiaoxi sighed.

But she was not in a hurry and walked slowly towards Fengluan Hall.

……

In the palace, Nangong Che was silent as he listened to the news from the secret guards below.

"Your Highness, your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for us to be at odds with Beirong." The chief eunuch stood aside and warned cautiously.

"When will it be your turn to comment on what I am doing?" Nangong Che snorted coldly, "If my father had not insisted on marrying Beirong, would I have allowed the Beirong delegation to enter Daning?"

The chief eunuch did not dare to persuade him any more, so he had to shut up.

"Go and call Cheng Shubai." Nangong Che suddenly ordered.

"Yes!" The secret guard took the order and retreated.

The head eunuch glanced at Nangong Che, hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped trying to persuade him.

He believed that His Majesty the Crown Prince must know better than anyone else that if he did not follow what His Majesty said, the consequences would be serious.

The chief eunuch is thinking, maybe this year's New Year's Eve will be a special event, right?

But soon, the concerns of the chief eunuch were dismissed.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned all the military attachés and imperial doctors to the outskirts of the city to greet the delegation, including the princess and Cheng Shoufu.

Originally, all the military attachés were very angry at the prince's move of calling everyone together for discussion, but when they saw Nangong Che in person, the anger immediately disappeared, and what was left was panic.

Over the years, the prince had never summoned anyone alone unless something special happened.

This was the first time, so every military attache felt uneasy.

And the most shocking thing is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sitting with the woman named Su Xiaoxi.

The woman looked delicate and delicate, but her face was not ugly. On the contrary, she had an indescribable charm.

Such a woman really makes people wonder who she is.

Su Xiaoxi felt the gazes from all around and felt uncomfortable all over. She turned her head and looked at the prince, "Are these people yours?"

"Ah."

"Didn't I tell you to have a good rest? Why are you here?" Su Xiaoxi frowned.

"Don't worry, they don't dare to gossip, and they don't even have the courage to leak the slightest bit of news." Nangong Che comforted.

He knew that his every move would definitely cause an uproar, but he no longer cared.

He is not a weak person. All the hardships he has endured over the years have already made him into a steel.

With Su Xiaoxi and the entire Ning Dynasty by his side, he could stand strong even if the world ridiculed him.

Su Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief when Nangong Che said this.

She was worried that Nangong Che would be attacked by these people. After all, Nangong Che's current status was in jeopardy. If he was suppressed again, he would probably plummet.

"That's good." Su Xiaoxi chuckled.

In fact, Su Xiaoxi also enjoyed the feeling of dining at the same table with Nangong Che. It was just because of her embarrassing status that she had such concerns.

While the two were chatting, a group of royal guards suddenly broke in outside.

"Prince, I have something to report!" A deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army knelt directly on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, all the Imperial Guards knelt down in unison, "See the Crown Prince!"

Su Xiaoxi glanced at Nangong Che, and then glanced around the group of imperial guards lightly, with some worry in her eyes, because she knew that what happened next would be even more dangerous.

Before Nangong Che could speak, the deputy commander continued: "Last night, assassins sneaked into the imperial city and attacked the chief minister's palace."

"Oh?" Nangong Che raised his eyebrows and looked at the deputy commander with a look full of inquiry.

"The prince is unaware that a thief broke into the prince's residence last night and assassinated Cheng Shoufu."

"Assassination?" Su Xiaoxi pretended to be surprised, then raised her eyes with a look of confusion on her face, "Why assassinate us?"

"Cheng Shoufu and the princess are in love."

Looking at Su Xiaoxi's expression, the deputy commander was a little confused. He didn't understand why Su Xiaoxi misunderstood the relationship between the prince and Su Xiaoxi at a glance.

"Princess, you misunderstood." The deputy commander couldn't help but explain, "The assassin is the envoy of the Beirong Royal Court. Just because they are good at using poison, Cheng Shoufu..."

Having said this, the deputy commander hesitated, but he didn't know what to say.

"Oh~" Su Xiaoxi longed out, then nodded with a clear face, and then looked at Nangong Che, "His Royal Highness, your charm is so great that you can actually provoke the Beirong Imperial Master to come to Daning Kingdom in person."

After Su Xiaoxi finished speaking, she immediately received Nangong Che's glare.

However, Nangong Che was also a little helpless and doting. He had forgotten Su Xiaoxi's character, and there were some words that were not suitable to say to her.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoxi did not continue.

"Your Highness, I would like to request you to escort the envoy back to the country." The deputy commander spoke again, with perseverance in his eyes, as if he was determined to defend the safety of the envoy to the death.

Nangong Che pondered for a moment, "That's right."

"Thank you for your grace, Prince." The deputy commander was extremely excited, "Then I will retire first."

After the words fell, the deputy commander turned around and left.

"Brother Imperial, could this matter be related to the cold poison in your body?" Seeing the deputy commander leave, Su Xiaoxi suddenly thought of something and asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, Nangong Che was slightly startled, "You also doubt it?"

"Well, you have been sick for some time, right?" Su Xiaoxi observed for a long time during this period, and found that Nangong Che's symptoms were very similar to those described by the quacks.

Nangong Che nodded and did not hide anything, "Yes, I have been feeling weak recently, and it is becoming more and more frequent."

"So, the people from Beirong are here for you?" Su Xiaoxi guessed that since Nangong Che was suffering from cold disease, the people from Beirong would also know about it.

But why did the Beirong Imperial Preceptor send people to sneak into Daning?This is not common sense.

Could it be...

Su Xiaoxi suddenly had an idea in her mind, "Could it be that you are here for the Crown Princess?"

Nangong Che couldn't help but clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes were cold, "If this is really the case, I will make Beirong pay the price."

"Your Highness, please don't act impulsively. You have been preparing this plan for so long. You cannot ruin your hard work just because of impulsiveness."

For so many days, Su Xiaoxi followed Nangong Che almost every day. She could guess at least [-]% of what he did.

After these days of contact, she found that although Nangong Che seemed a bit unstable on weekdays, he was definitely not a reckless and impulsive person.

He plans everything carefully and never does anything he is unsure of.

However, his impulse this time was obviously beyond his expectation.

Su Xiaoxi's words made Nangong Che's eyes soften a little, and he knew that he did lack consideration.

but……

"But..." Nangong Che hesitated.

"There is no but, if you want to save people, you must ensure your own safety." Su Xiaoxi mercilessly interrupted what Nangong Che wanted to say, "Do you know what it will be like if you fail this time? ending?"

Nangong Che shook his head, he didn’t know.

I just have an answer vaguely in my mind, but I can't be sure.

"Beirong State Master is the think tank of Beirong State. Since he has decided on this matter, he must be well-prepared. Otherwise, how could he lurk into Daning rashly?"

Nangong Che pursed his lips and said nothing. He knew that what Su Xiaoxi said was very reasonable, but he was always on tenterhooks along the way, fearing that some accident would happen. Moreover, if the Cheng family was implicated, how could he bear it.
