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

"Don't worry, I'm sensible. Nothing will happen to you. Just wait." After saying that, Nangong Chen concentrated on drawing his bow and shooting arrows with a handsome and unrestrained posture.

On the side, Su Xiaoxi waited quietly without saying anything more.

This time, Nangong Chen seemed to be fishing seriously. He did not deal with Su Xiaoxi like he did before. Instead, he studied the situation in the water carefully, as if he really wanted to fish.

Seeing Nangong Chen being so serious, Su Xiaoxi said nothing else and just watched quietly from the side, but her mood was unusually calm.

Not long after, ripples suddenly appeared on the lake.

Seeing such a scene, Su Xiaoxi's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect Nangong Chen to catch fish.

And when she saw the fish swimming ashore in the water, her eyes widened even more.

I originally thought that Nangong Chen was just a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse, but I didn't expect that he was still very skilled.

"Father is indeed a genius. He can even use a fishing rod so skillfully." Su Xiaoxi did not hesitate to praise him.

"My fishing rod is special. It is naturally much more flexible than ordinary ones. Otherwise, how could I catch fish?" Nangong Chen's whole body was filled with excitement when he mentioned fishing.

Su Xiaoxi nodded in agreement, "Father is absolutely right."

"Let's go back and eat. I'm hungry." Nangong Chen said, stood up and walked back.

As for Su Xiaoxi, she was still following him closely.

"You danced very well today, but it's a pity that I didn't see clearly how you danced." Nangong Chen suddenly said something confusing.

"Uh..." Is this considered a compliment?Still testing?

Su Xiaoxi murmured in her heart, and an awkward yet polite smile appeared on her lips.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Su Xiaoxi's hesitant expression, Nangong Chen asked in confusion.

"Reporting to my father, I am not good at dancing." Su Xiaoxi answered honestly.

"Huh?" After hearing this answer, Nangong Chen raised his eyebrows, obviously very surprised.

"However, what I'm good at is medical skills. It's a pity that I'm not good at dancing." Su Xiaoxi continued to explain.

"Haha." Nangong Chen chuckled.

"You are so honest."

"Father taught me well."

"Hahaha." Nangong Chen smiled happily, and the look on his face looked particularly happy.

Su Xiaoxi followed Nangong Chen, while looking at Nangong Chen's profile, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, not all men in ancient times were as uncertain as the emperor.

At least in Su Xiaoxi's view, the emperor was quite kind.

After following Nangong Chen back to the camp, Su Xiaoxi realized the purpose of Nangong Chen's invitation to the camp today.

"Father, do you have any instructions for summoning your ministers to the camp today?" Su Xiaoxi asked frankly, without being secretive.

"Your mother-in-law's illness is getting more serious. I want you to show it to her." Nangong Chen said calmly, staring at the chessboard on the table, thinking about which position should be placed in order to win the opponent.

Su Xiaoxi was stunned. It turned out that Nangong Chen asked her to join the camp because of Concubine Ning's affairs.

After a moment of silence, Su Xiaoxi spoke up, "My son's medical skills are still shallow. I'm afraid he only treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

Hearing this, Nangong Chen curled his lips and said, "I believe you."

This sentence "believe you" contains too much trust.

Su Xiaoxi felt complicated in her heart. She didn't understand where this trust came from.

Perhaps, she should be happy, after all, Nangong Chen trusted her, but Su Xiaoxi was inexplicably worried.

Because, no matter how hard she emphasized that she could only treat flesh wounds, she still felt that a noble person like Nangong Chen would never believe her.

But, even so, she still agreed without hesitation.

After all, if she really couldn't cure Concubine Ning's illness, then it was possible for Nangong Chen to kill her in a rage, so she had no choice.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Su Xiaoxi raised her head, met Nangong Chen's deep eyes, and said seriously.

"I believe you can do it." Nangong Chen said with certainty, "Let's go back to eat first. We can work hard only after we have eaten and drank enough."

Nangong Chen was the first to turn around and leave, his back firm.

Su Xiaoxi followed closely behind.

While eating, Nangong Chen asked the guards to bring some fresh game.

Su Xiaoxi saw that these meats were basically rabbit, pheasant and other game.

Although not every rabbit and pheasant had wild vegetables placed at their feet, Su Xiaoxi could still tell that these should be what Nangong Chen got from hunting.

I have to admit that Nangong Chen is indeed a good emperor who loves the people very much.

This is the only thing worthy of admiration after she came to ancient times.

"Eat more." Nangong Chen said, putting some fish meat into Su Xiaoxi's bowl.

These days, except when Nangong Chen brought food, there was almost no communication between them.

But today, things between them seemed to be back to what they used to be.

"Thank you, Father." Su Xiaoxi lowered her head and took small bites of the dishes in the bowl.

Regardless of why Nangong Chen called her into the camp today, since she decided to help Concubine Ning, she had to make all preparations.

"Your mother-in-law is not in good health and needs more nutrition." Nangong Chen warned, "Especially after dinner, you need to take more flower petal baths to remove dampness and detoxify."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi frowned slightly, Concubine Ning was not in good health?

She really didn't know this.

"How did your father know about it?" Su Xiaoxi asked suspiciously.

"Your mother-in-law will have unbearable abdominal pain every three or five days at night." Nangong Chen explained slowly, "I have sent people to ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but they are unable to do anything."

"Oh!" Su Xiaoxi responded.

After Nangong Chen finished speaking, he didn't speak again.

"Father, have you heard any news about Beirong recently?" Su Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment and finally asked.

Hearing this, Nangong Chen's movements paused, a trace of darkness flashed across his eyes, and then returned to normal.

"Beirong?" Nangong Chen asked.

"Father, you don't know?" Su Xiaoxi was slightly startled, "According to my information, the Beirong are still carrying out sneak attacks on our Ning Dynasty in an attempt to annex our land."

When saying these words, Su Xiaoxi acted very indifferently, and there was no trace of emotion in her tone.

"Yes, I know." Nangong Chen nodded and continued to pick up vegetables with chopsticks.

It seems that Nangong Chen has become accustomed to Beirong's war.

"Don't you plan to send troops to stop me?" Su Xiaoxi asked.

Although she didn't understand why Nangong Chen had to endure it, Su Xiaoxi still hoped that Nangong Chen would send troops.

Because of this, the Ning Dynasty will have the dawn of victory.

"I don't want to send troops, and I don't want our soldiers to die." Nangong Chen shook his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
