Shi Xing looked at Chi Yao after hearing this.

Although they didn't have any private space to discuss the meeting with Master Chang,

Shi Xing was surprised, "Didn't they reach an agreement?"

Not only did he see this, Yan Changyue and Tang Mi, who had been with Chi Yao for many years, had already discovered it.

"It was not reached."

Chi Yao did not deny it.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Shi Xing, "You came back with that kid, did you do anything to him?"

Oh, this.

After getting on the aircraft, they were discussing the restaurant and the places to visit today. Shi Xing didn't have time to say it, but it's not too late to say it now.

Shi Xing: "The child's mental state is not very big, I feel it can be treated, so I cured it."

Yan Changyue glared, "Grandpa has consulted many doctors and medical practitioners about the condition of his children and grandchildren, and they all said there was no way. Xingxing, you just..."

Yan Changyue's throat rolled, and he couldn't believe it, "Cure, cure it?"

Shi Xing didn't think about it in this way, and shook his head embarrassedly, "I just felt uncomfortable seeing the child, and found If it can be cured, just handle it."

Yan Changyue's reaction made Shi Xing uncertain, "Shouldn't I treat it?"

Chi Yao had delegated the authority of treatment to Shi Xing before, and let him decide. When he treated the child, although he briefly thought about Chang Quan's attitude, he quickly put it out of his mind. Chi Yao did not use medical treatment to coerce Tan Baishan, so it was natural that he would not and should not use treatment conditions to force Chang Quan to support it. Sure

enough, Chi Yao shook his head when he heard it.

And he explained to Shi Xing, "Chang Yue is just amazed at your ability."

"He should be treated, and he has been treated very well. To some extent, Chang Quan is also a stubborn old man. If it weren't for the treatment, he would not have changed his attitude and let us go back temporarily."

Hope ignited in Shi Xing's eyes, "Then will he change his mind?"

Facing Shi Xing's shining eyes, Chi Yao laughed. Although he felt reluctant, he still shook his head slowly, "Probably not." "

When he was the Speaker, he was famous for his impartiality. If these unconventional methods worked, Chang Quan would not have received such a high support rate from the Senate and the entire civil service."

Seeing Shi Xing's eyes dim, Chi Yao said again, "But since you asked us to go back, it will definitely not be aimless."

"In any case, the situation can't get any worse, right?"

Shi Xing regained his spirits and nodded heavily, "Your Highness, you are right."

The situation is already the worst, and any further changes will only get better.

The group turned around.

In fact, Chi Yao's judgment was unusually accurate.

After returning, the Chang family first thanked Shi Xing for Shu Ning's treatment, and promised to send three beast cores as medical expenses. The wording was very sophisticated.

"Your Highness, it will definitely cost more than this to treat Ning Ning, but no one in the Chang family serves in the army, so this is all they can give. I hope Your Majesty and Your Highness will not despise it and accept it as a token of your appreciation."

He was very humble.

Shi Xing was a little embarrassed, but Chi Yao felt that what he said was right. Shi Xing's treatment was priceless. Compared with the conditions set by the negotiator, the three beast cores were indeed just a small token of his appreciation.

Later, Chang Quan proposed to talk to Shi Xing alone, and Chi Yao agreed. As expected,

Chang Quan did not change his position.

What he said to Shi Xing was still the same, because he did not understand and would not support it immediately. However, because of the treatment, his tone of voice was not as firm as when facing Chi Yao. Instead, he seemed very apologetic because he refused again.

After making a solemn statement, the topic came to the most critical part.

"So, he told you that he couldn't support you, and then what?"

After leaving Chang's house again, Chi Yao and Shi Xing went to the restaurant they had booked as planned. While Yan Changyue and Tang Mi were checking the ingredients and meals, Chi Yao asked Shi Xing casually.

The two of them sat close to each other, and Shi Xing sat on the inside. Chi Yao supported his chin with one hand and looked at him sideways. Most of the natural light was blocked by Chi Yao's body, making Shi Xing feel as if he was being caged by the other person. His

pupils shrank, and he was distracted for a moment, but he quickly pulled his thoughts back.

Shi Xing sat back as if to avoid the intimate atmosphere, straightened his back and said, "Then, the old man said that if I encounter difficulties in government affairs, I can find him."

"Even if they don't actively support me, the Chang family still owes me a favor."

Chi Yao raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"What else?"

Shi Xing: "I think it's just this sentence. After that, he asked about Ningning's condition alone, asked me what method I used to treat it, and discussed how to find me if Ningning relapsed; after that, he said some polite words, such as being happy to meet me and hoping to have more exchanges with me in the future. That's about it."

Chi Yao smiled.

Shi Xing noticed something sharp, "Why, is it wrong?"

"You can't say it's wrong."

But it can't be said to be right either.

Chi Yao stopped laughing, raised his eyes lazily, and said with a slight curve in the corners of his eyes, "I finally know why he doesn't want me to sit in."

"It's true that he promised to return a favor to you, but the last few sentences were not just for show. The meaning of these sentences..." He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and waited until Shi Xing couldn't help revealing an expectant expression on his face before continuing, "What he really wants to say is that he may not support you now, but when he has a certain understanding of you, he may change his mind."

Chi Yao shook his head, "Changquan's Speaker has been out of office for a long time, and his ideological burden is still so heavy. He didn't let me sit in because he could fool you by talking in a roundabout way, but I was here, and I heard it right away. It would be embarrassing, and he couldn't bring himself to do it."

Shi Xing widened his eyes when he heard it.

"What's with that expression on your face?"

Shi Xing: "Didn't expect that?"

Shi Xing was surprised. "I thought the old man was very open-minded and wouldn't have these worldly worries at all!"

Chi Yao lowered his head and laughed, extremely happy. "Then I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The empire from top to bottom is a bunch of worldly people. When you come into contact with the Senate, you will have a deeper understanding."

Chi Yao's smile faded slightly, and he looked at Shi Xing. There was a warm smile in his eyes, and Shi Xing liked it very much.

"Let's not talk about Chang Quan. What I'm curious about is, how did you cure Shu Ning directly?"

Before entering the room, Chi Yao told Shi Xing that Chang Quan had a grandson with a problem in his spiritual sea. Even if they would not threaten Chang Quan with treatment, it is not impossible to use it as a guarantor to gain support. With Shi Xing's brain, Chi Yao did not believe that he could not think of this.

After asking, the four looked at each other, and Shi Xing whispered, "Actually, I didn't treat him just for the sake of healing him."

"On the one hand, Shu Ning is indeed very small, and it doesn't take up too much of my mental energy, and it is worth being treated."

With a slight flicker in his eyes, Shi Xing felt that the words flowed out from his heart and analyzed in front of Chi Yao.

"On the other hand, Your Highness, his mental power is disordered, causing cracks at the bottom of his seabed..."

The word "also" was used well, and even if Shi Xing didn't finish, Chi Yao understood what he meant.

There was a subtle stagnation in the atmosphere, and Chi Yao's eyes suddenly became much darker. The next moment, he leaned over and closed the distance between him and Shi Xing. There was a wall behind Shi Xing, and he had no way to avoid it.

"So, you are doing the treatment with the purpose of trying to repair the cracks in the spiritual sea?"

As for why he wanted to repair the cracks in the spiritual sea, it was self-evident who around Shi Xing had this problem in the spiritual sea.

Shi Xing was practicing with Shu Ning, and what he wanted to cure was Chi Yao's spiritual sea.

Chi Yao's eyes were too straightforward. At a close distance, Shi Xing could feel the other's breath sweeping against his face. His throat was dry for a moment. Shi Xing looked away, not looking at Chi Yao, not daring to look.

After a moment, Shi Xing nodded and admitted it.

Chi Yao raised the corners of his lips and moved closer again.

Shi Xing's breathing was stagnant, "Your Highness, you..."

"What about me?"

It's hard to say whether these three words were

asked knowingly. But the effect was very good. After his breathing became sluggish, Shi Xing's speech was also stagnant.

After a while, feeling that Chi Yao's smile was becoming more and more meaningful, Shi Xing bit the bullet and reminded him, "Your Highness, it's too close."

"Close? I'm not leaning against you. Besides, it can't be that close?"

Shi Xing's brain was about to stop working.

Chi Yao asked again, "Why don't you look at me?"

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing closed his eyes in despair. Very good, his heartbeat also mixed in. He had no doubt that Chi Yao would hear his chaotic heartbeat again in a while.

Chi Yao's chuckle rang out, Shi Xing masked in pain, "Your Highness, if you do this again, I will resist."

"Then you try, I'm curious about your way of resistance."

Shi Xing: "......"

Shi Xing raised his hand, and his finger pressed the service button accurately.

Chi Yao was stunned.

In a moment, a service staff came in and asked them what service they needed. Shi Xing asked for a chair to be added. When Yan Changyue and Tang Mi came back, they saw Shi Xing sitting alone on a chair, and sternly refused the seat next to Chi Yao.

"It's too dark over there, I don't like it, so let's do it this way."

Shi Xing made an excuse.

Chi Yao tried to save the situation: "I'll sit in, and you sit here?"

Shi Xing refused, "No!"

Chi Yao lowered his eyes, tut, it was really funny.

This day was quite pleasant.

When we were outside.

Chi Yao took Shi Xing to two restaurants, and in the afternoon they went to the largest holographic game hall in the imperial capital, and then to a scenic spot. Shi Xing found everything new and interesting.

The trip was well planned, without crowds and waiting, and he had a good time.

The quarrel in the restaurant was forgotten by Shi Xing after dinner. Chi Yao liked his character and didn't care about it.

But when he returned to the palace, Chi Yao got very angry at night.

When Xu Jin went to the living room to talk to Shi Xing, Fei Chu had already been eavesdropping outside the study.

As Shi Xing approached, he heard a cold and stern voice, "If you can't do it well, you don't have to do it anymore. Fu Mu was trained very well by Chang Quan. If you submit your resignation tomorrow, I will approve it that day. The Senate can be incompetent, but not ignorant!"

"The same goes for Ren Yanyong, you can tell him!"

It was the first time that Shi Xing heard Chi Yao's harsh voice. Compared with when he was talking to Fei Chu, there was still some anger in his voice. He was stunned and looked at Fei Chu and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fei Chu whispered to him, "We had a disagreement and quarreled."

"I didn't hear anything specific. When I came here, they were already reprimanding people. I just finished reciting the laws of the empire to the speaker, and now someone is being forced to resign."

Shi Xing: "Who is Fu Mu?"

Fei Chu explained to Shi Xing, "The designated next speaker, just like Xu Mirou in the Elders' Council, they will take over when the previous one retires."

Shi Xing: "Your Highness won't really let the speaker resign, will he?"

Fei Chu thought for a moment, "It's hard to say, Wei is really stubborn, let's see if he can come to his senses, if he can't change his mind..."

Seeing that Shi Xing was staring at him, Fei Chu lowered his voice again, "I'm afraid he will really be forced to resign."

"Chi holds the military power, and the whole army is convinced by him. Besides, he is not the young and ignorant man he was when he first succeeded to the throne. No one can oppose what he insists on in the past few years."

Tang Mi, who arrived at some point, interrupted, "But your Majesty insists on things with a standpoint."

In other words, there is a certain reason for insisting, and it is not all subjective.

Tang Mi was worried, "I hope the Speaker will not go astray, otherwise if the Senate is moved, and the civil servants support it, I am afraid that several major institutions will have to be replaced one after another. The cost of the chain reaction is too high, and it is not good for your Majesty's reputation." The

internal affairs institutions have reached the period of change of term, and it is best to be able to make a smooth transition. If they are too tough, it will inevitably hurt the old man's heart.

Fei Chu thought about it and paid attention to something strange. "Continuous blood transfusion is something that Chi can do."

There is a bottom line for respecting Chi Yao. If it is crossed, there is no room for negotiation.

Civil servants may be under the control of the Senate and the Council of Elders for a long time. They don't face Chi Yao directly and don't feel deeply, but the major military groups have a deep understanding of Chi Yao's temperament!

Shi Xing seemed to understand what he heard, but he was not most concerned about these.

He was wondering when Chi Yao would calm down.

Try to maintain a calm mood, which will be better for His Highness who is in a special situation now.

Xu Jin obviously thought of this. Since Chi Yao did not deliberately block the sound, after listening for a while, Xu Jin brought a plate of fruit and knocked on the door, interrupting the communication between Chi Yao and the Senate and ending it early.

Later, Chi Yao was in the living room with everyone. He was looking at documents with an expressionless face, and everyone was browsing the Star Network to relax. Shi

Xing couldn't tell whether he was happy or not.

After a while, Shi Xing secretly sent a joke to Chi Yao.

Seeing that Chi Yao opened it, he sent another message after a while, and then another.

Finally, Chi Yao laughed and shook his head.

Suddenly turned to Shi Xing and said, "You don't often go to the Star Network for entertainment in Tree Nest, right?"

The question made Shi Xing stunned.

Chi Yao waved at Fei Chu and picked a joke to show Fei Chu. Fei Chu was surprised, "Aren't these jokes popular in the capital when I was in elementary school? Great, where did you dig them out from?"

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing's toes gripped the ground, looked at the file he found, and scrolled to the top. Very good, the title is "Selected Old Jokes".

He was not serious in reviewing the topic.

Turning his head to look at Chi Yao's smiling face, the effect was achieved, but not in the way he imagined.

After a while, Shi Xing was so embarrassed that he couldn't stay any longer, so he turned around and went back to the room.

When Chi Yao returned to the room, Shi Xing had already climbed into bed and fell asleep.

Listening to his breathing, he was in bed, but not asleep.

Whoosh.

Shi Xing's communicator rang, Chi Yao sent him a joke.

Chi Yao sent him another one.

Chi Yao sent him another message. Shi Xing couldn't help laughing after reading it, "Your Highness, where did you find it? Hahahaha, it's so funny, haha."

Chi Yao: "Just like you, I copied and pasted it from Xingwang, it's also an old joke."

After laughing for a while, Shi Xing realized that Chi Yao was teasing him. He touched his nose and corrected himself, "You don't have to be like this. I sent you a joke just to make you happy."

"Well, I'm in a better mood." After a pause, Chi Yao said calmly, "I sent it to you to make you happy."

Shi Xing's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Highness, are you..."

Shi Xing's pupils shrank, his lips slightly opened, and he didn't say the second half of the sentence. He just said, "Your Highness, good night."

Chi Yao: "Good night."

But he was destined to have a bad sleep that night.

When Shi Xing woke up in the middle of the night because of the connection, the mental strength in the room was already very high.

Shi Xing reached out to feel it, his face changed slightly, and he became aggressive.

Chi Yao was still asleep, so Shi Xing went over to call him.

He reached out to shake him, but his vision was distorted in the darkness, and he suddenly touched Chi Yao's neck. Shi Xing's hand was so quick that he retracted it.

"Huh?"

Maybe because he was in pain, he actually woke him up.

After regaining consciousness for a moment, Chi Yao frowned, "My mental power is disordered."

Shi Xing: "Can you sit up?"

Chi Yao tried and negotiated, "Can you not?"

Shi Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out to touch it, and found that the energy accumulation on the skin had reached a terrifying level. Shi Xing didn't know whether he should touch the other party for a moment, and his voice was a little trembling, "Does it hurt?"

This kind of energy intensity, which even the Blue Star people who feed on crystals feel is barely strong, is already destructive to the bodies of the Imperials.

But the bodies of the Imperials have strong repair abilities, and after being damaged, they will quickly repair themselves.

Although it seems no different, the constant destruction and repair is obviously a painful process.

Chi Yao's throat slid, and he uttered two words, "It's okay."

Shi Xing didn't dare to think about it.

After a pause, he asked urgently, "After this leak, can your spiritual sea be stabilized, or has it entered a period of disorder?"

The spiritual sea in the disorder period will continue to be chaotic for a period of time.

During this period, the spiritual power will continue to leak or intermittently, and most of them are offensive.

The time is from a few days to a few months.

Chi Yao is not sure, "I'm afraid it depends on how it develops."

If you can stabilize yourself and gather your spiritual power, then everyone will be happy.

But if you can't, and the leaked spiritual power becomes more and more chaotic, I'm afraid it really has entered a period of disorder.

Shi Xing felt uncomfortable, but he could do nothing about it. After a while, he asked Chi Yao, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

He thought of something and took the initiative to ask, "Will it be better if I reduce the energy intensity around you like last time?"

Chi Yao was not sure, "Maybe."

"Then give it a try."

Chi Yao felt so uncomfortable that he hadn't figured out how to try it, when he felt Shi Xing crawling into his quilt.

The moment the other party pressed against him, Chi Yao's body stiffened for a moment.

After a moment, Chi Yao allowed himself to reach out and hug Shi Xing back.

Shi Xing's hand was on Chi Yao's face, and with the movement, the corner of his clothes fluttered up. Chi Yao's hand, which was hugging back, could feel the delicate skin of the other party's waist.

Shi Xing felt uncomfortable, as if talking to himself, "You'll be fine."

Chi Yao turned sideways and buried his face in Shi Xing's shoulder.

The breath brushed against Shi Xing's neck, burning, Chi Yao responded, "Well, I have you."
