Shi Xing calmed down for a minute. It
took him ten minutes to calm down.
Calmed down... Shi Xing buried his head in his knees. What should he do? He still felt scared. He wanted to disappear right on the spot! His Highness
would not be angry when he woke up, would he? Would he not scold him? Would he not talk to him?...
Shi Xing thought about the scene and tightened his arms while hugging himself and crying.
It's not that he regretted it. If it happened again, Shi Xing was sure that he would make the same choice.
He turned his head to look at Chi Yao. The cold sweat that had been coming out all night had subsided a little. Shi Xing's natural ability allowed him to see the contract emitting a magnificent and peaceful white light, which enveloped Chi Yao's spiritual sea. Not only was the spiritual sea calmed down, but the cracks in the deep seabed that had stretched and contracted due to several disturbances also seemed to be firmly fixed by something and no longer deformed.
It does work.
And in Shi Xing's eyes, the effect is very significant.
After touching Chi Yao's cheek, Shi Xing wanted to find something to do, so he got up and rolled out a towel, and wiped his cheeks, neck and palms, trying to make him more comfortable, although he might not feel it now. After
wiping, he took Chi Yao's temperature and found that his body temperature had dropped to the normal range. He adjusted the thermostat in the room back to the daily range and asked the robot to scan Chi Yao with infrared temperature measurement. Finally, he put on the thin blanket at the end of the bed.
He took a deep breath and couldn't spit it out.
Facts have proved that when people are worried and afraid of something, doing other things will not divert much attention.
Shi Xing was wearing a mask of pain, and he wanted to hug his legs like a puppy again!
Emotionally, he felt mixed emotions and even wanted to hide for a while.
But his mind was clear that there were still many things outside that he needed to face and there was no way to avoid them.
After sitting beside Chi Yao's bed for a while, Shi Xing called Xu Jin's communicator.
Xu Jin was overjoyed when he got the news.
Originally, he wanted to check on Chi Yao as soon as possible, but Shi Xing refused because the energy that made the imperial people sleep was very strong in the room. Shi Xing suggested that Xu Jin make arrangements for the villa tonight first, and those who should stay to keep watch should keep watch, and those who should go back to sleep should go back to sleep. A team of guards had been dispatched before, and they had been arranged when Chi Yao had an attack. Now that the situation has stabilized, this group of people must also be arranged, and it all depends on Xu Jin to take care of it.
Shi Xing knew that Xu Jin was concerned about Chi Yao, so he didn't let anyone in. However, he had the indoor robot connected to Xu Jin's communicator, which had a video function. Xu Jin wanted to see Chi Yao, so he used the communicator to see him.
Shi Xing's arrangements were also very thoughtful.
He used the family robot to confirm that Chi Yao was fine, and then gave an order to arrange a nanny robot to go over. Only then did Xu Jin start to arrange the rest of the people in the villa.
While making the arrangements, he also sighed with Yan Changyue, "Although Xingxing has only been here for a short time, he has handled things very thoroughly."
After asking Xu Jin, he learned that people with high mental strength can use barriers to resist that kind of energy. Shi Xing thought about it and called Fei Chu into the room first.
He specifically ordered him to open the barrier.
Fei Chu was informed of the effectiveness of the contract. He walked into the room and saw the scene clearly, but he was still shocked.
The expression on Fei Chu's face was very subtle.
He wanted to see Shi Xing's face, but felt it was impolite. However, he could not help being curious, so he kept glancing at Shi Xing with his peripheral vision, and Shi Xing looked at him several times, which made Shi Xing laugh and cry. "General, if you want to see it, go ahead."
After a pause, Shi Xing, who knew Fei Chu's character well, added, "You can ask anything you want."
Fei Chu whispered tentatively, "Really?"
Seeing Shi Xing nod, Fei Chu began to rub his hands.
Shi Xing: "..."
Seeing this melon-eating posture, Shi Xing's scalp numbed, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
The next moment, the two spoke at the same time.
Fei Chu's eyes lit up: "Before I came, there really was no coercion, forced love, and then the reverse was knocked out?"
Shi Xing: "Otherwise you should..." Don't ask.
There was a moment of silence, and Shi Xing said righteously, "No, Admiral."
Fei Chu: "Tsk."
Fei Chu: "Xingxing, you know, in this case, generally speaking, no means yes."
Shi Xing: "..."
Shi Xing: "Really no."
Fei Chu: "Don't tell me you bit your lip yourself."
Shi Xing: "…………"
Then they spoke at the same time again.
Shi Xing: "Or should we talk about business?"
Fei Chu tried to find out: "Does Chi really not have some strange hobbies in private?!"
Shi Xing held his forehead and slowly closed his eyes.
As if they had some tacit understanding, the two spoke at the same time for the third time.
Shi Xing said tiredly, "How about Fu Qing come in instead?"
Fei Chu knew it was over, and quickly added: "Let's talk about business!"
After a moment, he added, "We'll talk about your business later. Don't worry, I will definitely not let Chi bully you."
Shi Xing: "."
But he didn't want to talk about it in the future!
It was difficult to get started. When it came to business, Fei Chu was still very reliable. From the situation of the empire, to the current relationship with the alliance, to the analysis of the pros and cons of various situations, he had reasons and reasons, and was orderly.
Shi Xing thought seriously for a while, looked at Chi Yao again, got up and went out with Fei Chu.
Chi Yao's room was shrouded by the contract spirit power. Shi Xing thought about it, and then simply moved to his own room.
He called Tang Mi and asked Tang Mi to find Wei Wan who lived in another building.
While waiting, Shi Xing opened the small study room that had been unused, and asked Yan Changyue to prepare all the projection equipment.
He took a shower, dressed himself, and changed into a casual suit, which was not casual but looked somewhat formal.
When Shi Xing went to the study room again, Wei Wan had already arrived. He saluted him, and Shi Xing returned the salute.
Wei Wan: "Your Highness, are you looking for me to discuss the diplomatic reception?"
Shi Xing said truthfully, "Yes and no. I am going to have a meeting with the Speaker of the Senate and the President of the Council of Elders right away to convey the situation in the palace. I don't know if it needs to be recorded. If it does, I'm afraid Tang Mi is not qualified."
"Of course, this is not the main reason for calling you here."
Shi Xing lowered his eyes for a moment, but did not continue to speak, only saying, "Let's talk about it after the meeting."
After that, he looked at Tang Mi and said, "Contact the Senate and the Council of Elders. The Speaker and the President must participate. They can bring others if they want. The Vice President and those below the Vice President will not be allowed to participate in the meeting, and no more than two people will be allowed to join the association."
It was neat and tidy, without any hesitation. Wei Wan could not help but look up to Shi Xing.
I thought... I didn't expect that the little prince was still a person with his own ideas.
Wei Wan's high heart was slightly relieved.
The notice was short, and both sides asked for some time to find someone to participate in the meeting. Tang Mi looked at Shi Xing, and Shi Xing said firmly, "Okay, the meeting will officially start in 20 minutes, and no one will be allowed after the deadline."
Tang Mi conveyed it truthfully.
Ren Yanyong felt that this style of behavior was familiar. Although the meeting was convened in the name of Shi Xing, he did not think of Shi Xing, but thought that Chi Yao was leading from the side.
The chairman thought so too, so he acted quickly.
20 minutes is not too short, nor is it too long. Shi Xing used this free time to discuss his attitude with Wei Wan.
Shi Xing knew his own situation very well, so he told Wei Wan what happened. "Wei Wenshu, I am okay with people in my daily life, but I will be more sharp towards people who are difficult to deal with or unfriendly to me. I may not be a junior who is willing to learn from me in a meeting, nor will I tolerate the Chairman and the President's tricky thoughts. Do you think this is okay? Will it affect the balance of domestic affairs?"
Wei Wan was stunned. "Are you talking about your own personality?"
It's no wonder that Wei Wan was surprised. Tang Mi thought it was outrageous. Since knowing Shi Xing, he has always been kind, polite and sensible. He never speaks loudly to others.
Shi Xing nodded.
He lowered his eyes for a moment, and at a special moment, he did not hide it, "It should be caused by past experiences. It's okay under normal circumstances, but when he is bullied or feels unfriendly, he will react more stressed and show it..."
"Maybe he is not easy to get along with, and he won't give people face."
Shi Xing said it clearly, but Wei Wan didn't quite believe it. Of course, Tang Mi didn't quite believe it either.
However, since Shi Xing asked, Wei Wan naturally answered according to what he said. After thinking about it, Wei Wan said: "If your little prince can really behave as you said, I think... it's a good thing."
There are many reasons, but at the root, there are two reasons. One is that Shi Xing's status is high enough, so there is no problem with doing this.
Besides, Chi Yao is asleep now, and the speaker and the president have been in office for many years and are used to taking advantage of their seniority. If Shi Xing is weak and is led by the nose, Wei Wan will feel overwhelmed. When His Majesty wakes up, I am afraid that no one will have a good ending.
Shi Xing nodded: "I know."
The meeting was held on time.
Ren Yanyong brought two vice-presidents, He Zhuang and Xu Mirou.
Speaker Wei Zhen also brought two vice-presidents to the meeting.
When the communication was opened, the Senate and the Council of Elders were stunned to see only Shi Xing and Wei Wan Tang Mi.
Ren Yanyong greeted everyone, bowed, and asked directly, "Your Majesty will not attend the meeting?"
Shi Xing stood straight with his shoulders and back straight, his expression did not show any abnormality, and his voice was light, but the content of his speech was shocking.
"This is exactly why I called the meeting. The diplomats of the Alliance will arrive in the Empire the day after tomorrow. The House of Representatives and the Council of Elders should know about this matter first and make a decision."
Without waiting for anyone to ask again, Shi Xing said directly.
"Your Majesty cannot attend the meeting, and even the day after tomorrow, the royal family will directly receive the diplomats. Your Majesty cannot come in person."
In front of Wei Zhen and Ren Yanyong's wide eyes, Shi Xing told them what happened tonight. He said it briefly, but the meaning was in place.
Ren Yanyong was anxious, "How could the contract suddenly work?"
Shi Xing did not hide it, "It was because I injected spiritual power, and the contract absorbed it, so it took a long time to work."
Ren Yanyong: "..."
Wei Zhen: "..."
Ren Yanyong: "How could you be so reckless, young prince, at this moment..."
Shi Xing's face darkened, and he interrupted abruptly, "President Ren, please tell me clearly, what did I do recklessly?"
Shi Xing said word by word, "Do you want to say that I was reckless in treating His Majesty?"
"Or was it that I let the contract inject spiritual power and let the contract restrain His Majesty's disordered period?"
Ren Yanyong was choked.
Wei Zhen frowned slightly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
When had Ren Yanyong ever been so arrogant to a junior? He took a few deep breaths, but thought, "Of course, it means that you injected spiritual power into the contract, causing His Majesty to fall asleep and do something stupid!"
Shi Xing spoke slowly, but his tone was cold, "What nonsense is that? Is receiving diplomats more important than His Majesty's health? Just a few random people from the alliance can make His Majesty go to receive them at the risk of worsening his spiritual sea condition?!"
"President Ren, is this what you mean?"
Ren Yanyong choked.
Wei Zhen closed his eyes. He had thought of this trap when Shi Xing proposed it, but he didn't expect Ren Yanyong to jump into it.
Vice President He Zhuang chimed in, "Of course not..."
Shi Xing said angrily, "Then what is it?"
This rhetorical question was very oppressive. He Zhuang was rarely asked such a question that she was startled and a little speechless.
Shi Xing looked at Ren Yanyong and said in a stern voice, "The Alliance and the Empire are in a cooperative relationship. I don't know when the Empire became inferior to the Alliance and actually let Your Majesty suffer such grievances just to save face for the Alliance."
"Your Majesty's health is related to the stability of the Empire for the next few decades. The arrival of Alliance diplomats is not worth mentioning in front of this."
"What, if the Empire refuses to receive them, will the Alliance send troops to attack the Empire tomorrow?"
Ren Yanyong said dryly, "Of course not..."
Shi Xing looked at Ren Yanyong deeply, "President, just think clearly about what is more important."
Ren Yanyong: "..."
Wei Zhen: "..."
He Zhuang: "..."
Wei Zhen pinched his forehead, thinking that the meeting had a particularly bad start. Ren Yanyong had simply let Shi Xing step on his weakness, and he stepped on it so hard that he couldn't turn over, and he couldn't even tell the difference and couldn't speak... Wei Zhen had a headache, and cursed Ren Yanyong in his heart.
Wei Zhen's idea was right. He gave Ren Yanyong a warning at the beginning, and the rest of the rhythm was controlled by Shi Xing.
The meeting was short, and Shi Xing didn't say many words, but every word was extremely strong.
There was no room for negotiation.
But at the same time, there was nothing wrong with using legal principles and reason to frame Shi Xing's words and deeds.
The direct descendants of the royal family have this power.
Shi Xing explained in a few words.
"I heard that the House of Representatives and the Council of Elders do not support my participation in the diplomatic reception. I don't care what your reasons are. If you don't support me, go back and come up with a plan now."
"The plan solves the following problems: If only His Highness Bizhou attends, who will the Empire send to follow; where is the diplomatic bottom line; if a diplomat bullies and looks down on His Highness Bizhou because of his young age, what should we do..."
"What I just said, Tang Mi will distribute it in written form to your communicators later."
"This is the first."
"Second, back to the basic issue, whether for the sake of the Empire or for diplomatic negotiations, I think I should attend the diplomatic reception as a direct descendant of the royal family, and I also have this right. This is given to me by the Empire."
"If you object, what are the reasons for the objection and why."
"This will also be resolved at a formal meeting tomorrow. If the House of Representatives and the Council of Elders can convince me and the Secretary General, we will discuss the diplomatic reception plan you have proposed. If not, I will ask the Supreme Court to return my rights as His Majesty's partner."
In other words, if they cannot convince Shi Xing, then Shi Xing will take legal action and participate in the diplomatic reception.
In other words, he will no longer consider the opinions of the Senate and the Council of Elders.
Wei Zhen: "Your Highness..."
Shi Xing: "Is there anything you don't understand?"
Wei Zhen: "No, but..."
Shi Xing: "Since there is nothing you don't understand, let's adjourn the meeting."
Shi Xing: "I've been busy all night, I'm tired. As a Blue Star person, my physique is not as good as that of the Imperial people. It's time to go to bed."
Wei Zhen: "..."
Ren Yanyong: "..."
Vice Presidents/Deputy Speakers: "..."
Shi Xing confirmed again, "All issues will be discussed at tomorrow's meeting. Does anyone else have anything they don't understand?"
No one spoke, and there was no way to speak in this situation.
Shi Xing was very satisfied, "The meeting is adjourned, everyone go to bed early."
Wei Zhen/Ren Yanyong: "..."
The plan must be presented tomorrow afternoon, and you're asking them how to rest? !
But Shi Xing didn't care about that. In Shi Xing's mind, since they had been against it for so long, it was only natural that the two units should have a backup plan. What to do now was beyond Shi Xing's imagination.
Click, Shi Xing disconnected the communication.
