Su Tang chuckled lightly, "What's so unbearable about this? Aren't you men always in control of government affairs, and women are not allowed to take charge? If the emperor wants to make an exception and allow me to join the court as an official, I will take care of it to the end."
Xie Boting thought for a while and said, "The Emperor can really make this exception for you."
Su Tang, "..."
Su Tang quickly raised her hand to interrupt Xie Boting, "I'm timid, don't scare me."
Her goal in life is to sleep until she wakes up naturally, count money until her hands cramp, and make her get up at the same time every day. It would be better to kill her directly.
Xie Boting's mouth twitched.
Is she timid?
If she wants to be timid, then there won't be many brave people in Kyoto.
The two of them went out of the study to have dinner. Su Tang said he didn't care about it, but he was still idle. After dinner, he leaned on the small couch and continued to read the salt mine distribution map. There was something he needed to discuss with Xie Boting.
Su Tang got up and went to the study.
There were candles lit in the study, but Xie Boting was not there. Su Tang just thought he had gone to take a bath and sat there waiting for him.
After waiting, she realized something was wrong. She went to the window and called Chen Qing. She called Chen Qing several times, but Chen Qing did not show up.
Banxia's brows tightened, "Chen Qing is always in the house at this time."
Poria guessed, "Maybe he has something to do to see the prince."
At this time, there was already a curfew on the street, and the prince was not in Jingmoxuan, so he was probably the most likely to go find the prince.
Su Tang felt that it was not that simple. Chen Qing was not the only secret guard in Jingmoxuan. Xie Boting went to find the prince. Even if Chen Qing went with him, the other secret guards would not follow. She stood by the window and shouted so many times.
There was a secret guard around, so it was time to show up and talk to her.
It was late at night, Xie Boting was not here, and neither was the secret guard. He was definitely going to cause trouble.
If it weren't for the fear that swearing would make Xie Boting sneeze, Su Tang couldn't help but say hello to him. He was leaving the house late at night, so he should at least tell her. She would be worried if she couldn't find him, okay?
Unable to find Xie Boting and not knowing when he would come back, Su Tang left the study.
After taking a few steps forward, Banxia said, "Prince Princess, look, there's a fire over there."
Su Tang raised his head and saw the flames soaring into the sky in the distance, illuminating the night like day.
Su Tang frowned, and then she realized that Xie Boting might have gone to cause trouble, and someone's house was on fire in Kyoto...
It was hard for her not to think of Zhuang Huo and Xie Boting together.
However, Su Tang's eyelids didn't jump, and his heart didn't panic. Being so far away, he didn't know whose house was on fire. Su Tang expressed his sympathy and went back to the house.
As soon as he closed the bead curtain and entered the house, he heard the creaking sound of the window opening. Su Tang looked up and saw a figure jumping in through the window. He was dressed in black and had a mask on his face, but Su Tang still recognized it at a glance.
I recognized him as Xie Boting.
It's just that this outfit is too suitable for Su Tang's taste, and it adds a bit of evil charm. Seeing that Su Tang only looked at him, with no surprise on his face, Xie Boting came over and hugged Su Tang, "I'll do this."
Dressing up, you don’t seem surprised at all?”
As soon as he approached, Su Tang smelled a hint of blood and immediately asked, "Are you injured?"
Su Tang was anxious to see where Xie Boting was injured. Xie Boting said, "When I killed someone, some blood was spattered on me. It's not mine."
This light tone sounded like killing someone or killing a chicken. Su Tang looked at Xie Boting and said, "Where have you been?"
