While the ghost face slashed the tiger here, the double swords in the hands of the woman opposite also cut into the tiger's vital point at the same time.

"Woo woo" The tiger let out a terrible roar, and the blood in its neck splattered out, splashing the ghost's face.

The ghost took two steps back, and when he looked up again, the woman on the other side had already turned and jumped out of the courtyard wall.

"Your Excellency. She ran away! The guards hurriedly asked, "Do you want to chase it?" ”

Ghostface shook his head, knowing that apart from him, these guards would not be her opponent even if they caught up with her.

When I entered the house, I saw the box containing the money neatly placed on the table.

A guard stepped forward to open it, and then let out a "huh". Dirt side to the ground.

The ghost face leaned over, only to find that it was empty, and all the 50,000 taels of silver were gone.

Thinking about it, the woman had already hidden the money just now, and 50,000 taels was not a small amount, and it was impossible to carry it with her.

Ghost Face had to ask someone to collect the empty money box, take the little civet, and the group returned the same way.

Su Baitong waited for the news of the ghost face in the room, but he didn't expect to see only the empty money box in the end.

The ghost face lowered his head and said: "It's all the incompetence of the subordinates who let that person run away." ”

Su Baitong asked Huixiang to take down those money boxes. said lightly, "If the money is gone, it will be gone, as long as you all come back safely." ”

The ghost's face drooped even lower, he had never encountered this kind of thing, not to mention that it was not good to be a teacher, and he didn't even know who the other party was, so he let people run away.

"Whose property is that Zhuangzi, can you find out?" Su Baitong asked.

"The subordinates have sent someone to investigate, but there is nothing unusual, the owner of the Zhuangzi is just an ordinary rich man. The Zhuangzi had been empty for many years, and he couldn't buy it, so he rented it to others. ”

In other words, there is no point in checking it out.

Su Baitong bowed slightly, "Thank you for your hard work." As he spoke, he asked Huixiang to take the reward.

The ghost face refused, and Huixiang couldn't earn him, so she could only look at Su Baitong helplessly.

Su Baitong could only let Huixiang take back the reward, and then the ghost face said goodbye and left.

She originally wanted to tell Ling Xiaotian about this, but since His Highness the Tenth came to the mansion, Ling Xiaotian went to His Highness Eleven's side, and even dinner was served there.

At first, she asked Huixiang to inquire about the news, but later she simply didn't wait, and after a simple meal, she went to the study building, and kept reading the book until she fell asleep in a daze.

Faintly, she seemed to hear familiar footsteps.

But after a busy day, she was so sleepy that she didn't want to open her eyes, plus there was a dragon burning in the study, and her body was warm. She didn't want to move.

Ling Xiaotian walked in and saw Su Baitong shrunk on the couch at a glance, she was still holding a book in her hand, but it had already slid to her knees.

"Why are you sleeping here again?" Ling Xiaotian's voice was full of helplessness, since she got married, he found that she especially liked the place of the study, and if he wasn't in the mansion, she would have slept here nine times out of ten nights.

In fact, what he didn't know was that in his previous life, Su Baitong had hidden in the library of the National Teacher's Mansion for three years, and during those three years, she had read all the books in the library.

For her, the study building is a safe place for her to hide.

Su Baitong opened his eyes and said "um".

"I'll carry you back. Or do you just sleep here tonight? Ling Xiaotian asked her in a low voice.

"Here it is," she felt his body sit down, and leaned into his arms.

Ling Xiaotian pulled the blanket and put it on her body.

"Is His Highness Eleven gone?" She asked with her eyes closed.

Ling Xiaotian pinched her cheek, "No." The tenth brother wanted to take him back, but he just refused, and he also had an illness in the middle, which frightened the tenth brother, and he could only let him live in our house tonight. ”

Su Baitong opened his eyes suddenly, "Concubine Ning is there"

"Don't worry, the tenth brother has already sent someone into the palace, even if Concubine Ning is unwilling, she can't run out of the palace for the most part." Ling Xiaotian comforted, "Wait until tomorrow morning, and then I will send someone to send the eleventh brother back." ”

"Why did His Highness Eleventh leave the palace?" She remembered that when she met him halfway through, he said that he was going to find His Highness the Ten.

"Some courtiers around Concubine Ning took the opportunity of King Xian's imprisonment to ask the emperor for an errand for the eleventh brother to manage the affairs of the alchemy room."

"The emperor agreed?"

"Hmm." Ling Xiaotian leaned over, and most of his body was pressed against her, "But when the eleventh brother was in the carriage with you, he really relied on you. The last few words, he almost gritted his teeth.

Su Baitong almost couldn't help laughing.

"What the hell are you trying to tell me?"

"Although the eleventh brother looks innocent, but don't forget, he is the same age as the tenth brother, he is not a child" Ling Xiaotian stared at her eyes, and her peach blossom eyes were shining, shaking her heartbeat almost missed a few beats.

The meaning of this could not be clearer.

He was reminding her not to get too close to His Highness Eleven in the future.

"I just thought he was a kid." Su Baitong explained, "His wheelchair was unstable in the carriage and accidentally fell over. ”

"I know." Ling Xiaotian leaned his face over, his forehead pressed against hers, his bright eyes were like bewitching demons, "But I don't like you to be too close to him, even if you only think he is a child, I am not happy." ”

Su Baitong glanced at him helplessly.

I already knew that he was having trouble with her because of this.

She told him what they had found today.

"I know, I've heard about Ghostface." Ling Xiaotian muttered, "You'd better not go out recently, if you have to go out, bring more guards." ”

"Got it, how did you check those things in the palace?"

Because of King Xian's imprisonment, Ling Xiaotian has recently secretly removed a lot of the other party's eyeline, along with some secret strongholds in the city, Ling Xiaotian has also found out and placed his people in.

But he still hasn't found out the cause of Chang Zhao's death.

The palace maids and chamberlains who were originally in Changzhao Palace are all gone, and even the imperial doctor who treated Changzhao at the beginning has disappeared.

Seeing Ling Xiaotian staring at her in a daze, Su Baitong slowly raised his hand to touch his face, "Don't worry, you will find out if you take your time." ”

Ling Xiaotian still looked at her intently, but her eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Is the Lone King so unsettling?" He looked deeply into her eyes, and he asked people to track down the news of Su Baitong's biological mother, but there was no progress so far, but she never asked half a sentence in front of him.

Was she afraid that he would be upset? Protect him everywhere, carefully, she will be alert at the slightest breeze, for fear that he will be implicated.

"Kiritori." He whispered her name, with a hint of warmth, "You want to protect the Lone King?" ”

He saw everything she did, and his heart felt like he was soaked in aging, and he was slightly drunk.
