When Xie Lingxiao thought about what Shen Jingxuan had just said, he felt like there was a breath stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.

This brat actually took revenge on him.

Didn't he just pass the throne to him and take Shen Jingxuan out to travel for a few years?

Even after such a long time, he still thinks about it.

Thanks to Xie Boxu, Xie Lingxiao really did not step into Shen Jingxuan's bedroom that night.

It was because Shen Jingxuan was well prepared and asked Ling Qiong and Ling Huan to guard the door early to stop him outside.

In the study, Xie Lingxiao leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes and not looking at Xie Boxu sitting opposite him.

"Are you satisfied now? Have you calmed down from your anger at your mother for kicking me out of the bedroom?"

"Nothing can escape Daddy's eyes."

"Humph, those little tricks of yours can only fool those ministers. You are far from being able to fool your father."

Xie Boxu did not refute Xie Lingxiao's words because everything he said was right.

With Xie Lingxiao's intelligence, he must have guessed what I was thinking from the moment I said the first sentence.

It was just that Xie Lingxiao wanted to help Xie Boxu relieve his depression, so he accompanied him to play, but he didn't expect that he would get himself involved in the end.

"Dad, how long do you plan to stay in the city this time?"

"It depends on your mother. Maybe it will take a long time, or maybe she will want to leave after just a few days."

Seeing Xie Boxu's worried look, Xie Lingxiao asked, "Xu'er, is there something on your mind?"

Xie Boxu hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, I want to go out for a walk."

"It is said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I have never been out of Shangjing City, and I want to go out and see what the outside world is like."

Xie Lingxiao stared at him for a moment, thinking about how to respond in his mind.

Xie Boxu was right. He had never been out of the city since he was a child. Going out for a walk would only benefit his growth.

But he is the emperor.

What would he do if he left Shangjing City and the huge court was left unattended?

In the past, there was the retired emperor in charge, but now his health is getting worse day by day, and he can no longer worry about this.

Xie Lingxiao hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Xu'er, have you ever thought about how to deal with the palace's political affairs if you leave the palace?"

Xie Boxu raised the corners of his lips and looked at Xie Lingxiao with a smile.

"You know your mother's temper. Letting her live in the palace will only cause her more troubles."

"She is also a person who can't sit still. She might secretly leave Shangjing City at any time."

"How can I feel at ease if she goes out alone?"

Xie Boxu smiled and said, "Dad, because he didn't want to go to the palace to take charge, actually moved mom out?"

He knew that Shen Jingxuan hated the palace the most. If it weren't for him and Le'er, she would rather not appear in the palace for the rest of her life.

The same was true for Xie Lingxiao. The emperor suddenly passed the throne to him, which made him upset for a long time.

As members of the royal family, they have no choice.

"Don't worry, Daddy. My second brother is in charge of the palace, and Le'er will also stay in the palace."

Xie Boxu's words made Xie Lingxiao feel much more at ease. As long as he was not allowed to stay in the palace, he didn't care who would handle the government affairs.

"Can Le'er handle political affairs?"

"Dad, Le'er just doesn't want to learn. He handled those things very well."

What Xie Boxu didn't say was that in the past when the two of them were in the palace, sometimes the ministers made things difficult for him, and Xie Jingle's ideas were the most effective.

Although he was not the emperor, it was not difficult for him to handle political affairs.

The only difficult part is the difference between what he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do.

"In that case, after you have arranged everything in the palace, you can go out for a walk."

"Okay." Xie Boxu responded with a smile.

The night was long, and Xie Lingxiao and Xie Boxu hid in the study and talked all night.

Xie Boxu kept asking Xie Lingxiao about things outside, and Xie Lingxiao patiently told him one by one.

After hearing what Xie Lingxiao said, Xie Boxu became even more yearning for the outside world and only regretted that he could not leave the city immediately.

The next morning, when Shen Jingxuan woke up and learned about this, her face was full of worry, "Xu'er is still so young, is it really okay to let him leave the city alone?"

"Don't worry, he has Li Luo by his side. Let Ling Chen follow him, and nothing will happen."

"Where's Ling Chong? Doesn't he have to follow Xu'er?"

Xie Lingxiao pursed his lips and said, "Let him stay with Le'er, and continue to teach him how to handle political affairs."

After hearing Xie Lingxiao's arrangement, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but feel sorry for the Great Elder in her heart.

She really wanted to hand over the command of the Lord of the Red Flame Temple to Xie Jingle, but things happened one after another, so she had to make things difficult for the Great Elder and let him continue to manage the Red Flame Temple.

Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan hurriedly gave orders, "The palace is closed to visitors. If the elder comes, tell her that I am out of town on business and I don't know when I will be back."

Xie Lingxiao was slightly stunned when he heard Shen Jingxuan's words. Thinking of the last time Shen Jingxuan took him to secretly escape from Shangjing City, he instantly understood her intention.

With the Great Elder's character, knowing that Shen Jingxuan lived in the Regent's Palace, he would definitely not miss such an opportunity again.

As expected, just as Shen Jingxuan had arranged everything, the doorman came to report that the great elder wanted to see her.

But what Shen Jingxuan didn't expect was that the doorman clearly told her that he was not at home, but he did not leave.

Xie Lingxiao chuckled and said, "He must know that you arranged all this."

"Ah Xiao, what should we do this time? The Great Elder will never leave easily."

With the experience from last time, how could the Great Elder give up easily?

Xie Lingxiao thought for a moment and said, "Why not send the Palace Master Order to Le'er?"

"As for whether Le'er will have time to take over the Scarlet Flame Temple after Xu'er leaves, that is not something you can decide."

Hearing Xie Lingxiao's words, Shen Jingxuan's eyes lit up.

Given Xie Jingle's personality, he would probably be extremely reluctant to handle government affairs, so how could he easily take over the Red Flame Temple?

Shen Jingxuan no longer hesitated, and quickly returned to her room to get the Palace Master's order, and ordered Ling Qiong to send it to Xie Jingle to the palace.

On the other side, Xie Boxu had already packed up and took Li Luo and Ling Chen out of the city.

When the doorman came to report again, Shen Jingxuan asked him to bring the great elder into the palace.

"Stinky girl, I knew you were at home."

"Old man, didn't I tell you that I would pass the Scarlet Flame Temple to Le'er?"

Shen Jingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, "It's not my turn to make the decision about what's happening in the Scarlet Flame Temple right now."

The Great Elder said angrily: "You didn't give the Palace Master Order to Le'er at all. If not, why didn't he go to the palace once?"

He waited in the Red Flame Temple for several days, but there was no sign of Xie Jingle. Instead, what he saw was Shen Jingxuan secretly leaving Shangjing City.

How could he not be angry? How could he not be angry?

"Old man, you can go to the palace to have fun, why are you waiting for him in the Scarlet Flame Temple?"

The Great Elder's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard Shen Jingxuan's words.

It was as if the dream that had been extinguished countless times finally had hope of being rekindled.
