At this time, Zhao Zhiwu felt panicked.

If this is exposed, it will be a big deal!

However, Zhao Zhiwu then thought about it. That guy Gu Huai was so clever that he could even calculate the situation in the court clearly. He must have a way to deal with this issue of public opinion.

Thinking of this, he deliberately showed a troubled and thoughtful look, and bowed deeply to the empress.

"Your Majesty, this question goes straight to the point. I admire you."

"Domestic public opinion matters are related to our country, the state of Chu, and I really don't dare to treat it lightly."

"Weichen already has some clues about this matter, but it is of great importance. Weichen needs to go back and think about it carefully and consider every detail."

Having said this, Zhao Zhiwu patted his chest, with a free and confident smile on his face.

"However, your Majesty, please rest assured. Wei Chen assures you that within two days at most, Wei Chen will handle this matter beautifully and will never embarrass your Majesty!"

Shangguan Xiao looked at Zhao Zhiwu's confident look, and most of the haze in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Not only was she not angry because of Zhao Zhiwu's hesitation, but she was surprised by Zhao Zhiwu's stability!

This matter of public opinion is not a child's play. If he talks freely just to say good things to make himself happy, then he will have to re-examine him.

But now, Zhao Zhiwu is neither arrogant nor impatient.

This made her even more satisfied!

"Okay!"

Shangguan Xiao gave a long laugh, his expression full of relief.

"The people in the court are all people who only know how to quarrel. It's rare that Zhao Aiqing can share my worries."

"I am very pleased that Chu has such a good minister as Zhao Aiqing."

Shangguan Xiao turned his head and gave instructions to the female officer beside him.

"Come here, I will reward Zhao Zhiwu with a hundred taels of gold and a pair of Ruyi jade."

"My lord, thank you for your kindness!"

Zhao Zhiwu quickly knelt down to thank him.

Shangguan Xiao nodded slightly and his expression became serious.

"Zhao Aiqing, you will stay in the house for the next two days and think about this matter carefully."

"In a few days, General Li will return to the DPRK from the northwest."

"At that time, I want you to personally discuss with General Li the specific matters of withdrawing from the Heshuo Plain. Do you understand?"

Zhao Zhiwu felt a chill in his heart and quickly responded with his hands raised.

"We will live up to your majesty's great trust if we accept the edict!"

After explaining this, Shangguan Xiao waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Zhao Zhiwu saluted again and then left the imperial study.

Shangguan Xiao leaned on the dragon chair and looked at Zhao Zhiwu's leaving figure. His eyes were a little wandering and he sighed for a long time.
