Chen Jingxi immediately understood what the emperor meant. Without further hesitation, she said, "Father, your Majesty, your Highness and I are willing to share your worries. As long as your Majesty commands, your Highness and I will do our utmost to live up to your expectations."
However, the emperor did not play along with her and said coldly, "I want you to monitor Prince Su for me."
"What?" Chen Jingxi was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Father...Father, what did you say? Spy on the prince? Why spy on the prince? But what did the prince do wrong?"
"He has done nothing wrong. I just want to know what kind of character my prince has and whether he can take on the responsibility in the future."
Chen Jingxi asked cautiously, "Father, do you mean...that the prince will inherit the throne in the future?"
The emperor nodded, but added: "That depends on whether he can pass my assessment."
Chen Jingxi nodded, half understanding, but then sighed and said, "Father, I'm afraid I can't take on this heavy responsibility. The prince... he's a very private person. If he knew I was spying on him, I wouldn't be able to stop him even if I had nine lives."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "So, you are unwilling to work for me?"
Chen Jingxi quickly shook her head and explained, "Father, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I'm afraid of death. However, if there's something that can save my life so that His Majesty doesn't dare to strangle me so easily, then I'll do it."
After hearing this, the emperor pondered for a moment and gave a look to Jiang Hai standing beside him.

Chen Jingxi took it and looked at it. It was a golden sign with the words "free from death" engraved on it.
"This is the golden medal of immunity from death. With this medal, Prince Su will not dare to do anything to you."
Chen Jingxi quickly knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you very much, father! I will do my best to handle this task, no matter how big or small, and not miss a single one of Your Highness's farts."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "Please come to the palace more often to accompany your mother when you have time. Now you can leave."
"Yes, I will retire now." This retirement will last a lifetime.
At this moment, Chen Jingxi was as excited as a monkey, laughing like an atavistic person.
Chunmei: “……?” Was what she said so funny?
