The next moment, Song Huixin's bright little face appeared outside the door.
Lian Yan's body turned to stone, and his outstretched arm just froze in mid-air.
When Song Huixin saw him, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Lian Yan... why are you here?"
Lian Yan's eyelids twitched heavily and his voice was hoarse, "I still want to ask you, why are you at Xie Li's house too!"
Song Huixin raised his brows and closed the courtyard door, "I came to see my future husband. Is there anything strange about it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Li coughed slightly and his earlobes turned red unconsciously.
Lian Yan's eyes widened and his gaze flickered back and forth between Song Huixin and Xie Li, "You...you guys!"
Xie Li raised his eyelids and looked at him steadily, with a puzzled tone, "What's wrong?"
"You...how can this be allowed!" Lian Yan jumped angrily, raised his finger and pointed at Song Huixin, and said loudly, "Song, if you dare to attack my brother, I will not let you go!"
Immediately, he looked at Xie Li, grabbed his arm, and cried blood, "Xie Li, you absolutely can't obey her! She...she is a female devil!"
Xie Li glanced at him, frowned and pushed his hand away, whispering, "Why did I obey her instead of her obeying me?"
Lian Yan paused and looked suspiciously at Song Huixin who was standing at the door.
Song Huixin crossed his arms and looked back at Lian Yan with a smile.
Lian Yan caught her gaze, turned around suddenly, and shouted loudly, "Impossible! She must have used force on you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Li suddenly raised his hand and covered his mouth.
Xie Li had a faint smile on his lips, his eyes were full of threats, and he said word by word, "Shut your mouth."
Lian Yan had difficulty breathing and nodded hurriedly.
Xie Li slowly let go of his hand, his expression as usual, "Miss Song is here, should you go?"
"I won't leave!" Lian Yan rejected his words and sat on a stone bench nearby, "I want to stay here and watch what you do!"
"Not leaving?" Song Huixin smiled and turned his wrist, his smile gradually becoming sinister, "Seriously?"
"See you later, Xie Li——"
Lian Yan only had time to leave these words, and then turned into an afterimage and climbed out from the back wall.
Seeing this, Song Huixin snorted softly, "It's no different from when I was a child. I'm just a coward!"
Xie Li opened the book, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "It's quite fun."
Song Huixin curled his lips and said, "There is still an advantage."

"Madam, the palace has handed me a note!"
When Bai Ji entered the room, Fang Xu was playing with the bowl of lotus in the room. Hearing this, he paused, raised his eyes and asked, "So soon, you handed it over again?"
"Yes." Bai Ji walked to one side with a smile and handed her a wooden fold. "It was said that Princess Zhan went to the palace. The two of them wanted to fight each other, but they were short of each other, so they wanted to catch them. There you go."
Fang Xu was a little ashamed and murmured in a low voice, "These powerful people are so idle."
Bai Ji couldn't help laughing and said softly, "Ma'am, are you going or not?"
"I've handed you the coupon, can you not go?" Fang Xu stood up with a look of helplessness on his face, "Go get an umbrella."
Bai Ji was stunned and said in surprise, "The sky is clear today and there is no rain. Why do you need an umbrella, madam?"
Fang Xu pursed his lips and said, "Shade the sun."
It was forbidden to drive carriages less than 500 meters after entering the palace gate. Yikun Palace was still so far away. She was afraid that she would melt if she didn't bring an umbrella!
Although Bai Ji didn't understand, he still followed it wisely.
half an hour later
Bai Ji held an oil-paper umbrella and huddled under it with Fang Xu. The sun was scorching outside, and his feet could feel the warmth on the ground.
"Madam, it has to be you!" Bai Ji walked on the palace road and sighed for the 40th time, "What a wonderful plan!"
Fang Xu was walking in the middle, the soles of his feet were hot, and his heart was depressed. Even when he spoke, he gritted his teeth, "If I don't win some money today, I will feel uneasy!"
Bai Ji nodded seriously, "This slave trusts Madam!"
"By the way, where is Su Zi?" Fang Xu looked sideways at her and asked in a low voice.
On weekdays, Su Zi never left her side, but today she actually disappeared.
"The newly built medical shop is not finished yet. There are life-saving medicinal materials in it. Su Zi was worried and took people there himself."
Bai Ji held the handkerchief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from Fang Xu's forehead, "Those medicinal materials need to be carefully prepared. Su Zi is afraid that if something goes wrong, if the emperor asks about it, his wife's contribution will be diminished."
Fang Xu paused in his steps and lowered his voice, "When you go back, tell her that the house certificate should not say Yongcheng Houfu. Just like those shops at home, find a fake shopkeeper and put it on top."
"Husband... Madam?" Bai Ji didn't respond and asked in a low voice, "This is a great thing, but Madam doesn't ask for credit from above?"
"Why ask for credit?" Fang Xu shook his head and explained patiently, "Xie Li and Wanzhou are both studying calligraphy. It won't be long before the imperial examination. If a businessman doesn't become an official, I can't let others make a fuss about him. Chance."
"Besides, if these medicines really fall into the hands of some people, I'm afraid they will make a huge fortune." Fang Xu stared at her and lowered his voice, "Just tell the people in the medical clinic that the medicines are rationed every day, and they will be sold out once they are sold out. Stop, don’t make it difficult for the country to make money.”
Bai Ji was stunned for a while when he heard it. After he realized it, he was a little moved, and his chest was filled with warmth. "Madam... you are such a good person!"
Fang Xu glanced at her with an angry expression, "Only found out now?"
"No!" Bai Ji shook his head vigorously, "I have known this for a long time. From the moment Madam insisted on buying me and Suzi, I knew that Madam is just more serious on the face, but has a good heart!"
Fang Xu smiled and rolled his eyes at her, "Glib tongue."
The master and servant walked around for several times and finally arrived at Yikun Palace.
The little eunuch in front of the palace gate smiled when he saw her and shouted inside, "Mrs. Yongcheng is here——"
After saying this, the little eunuch smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Madam, our queen has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."
Fang Xu nodded and walked in with Bai Ji.
The door of the palace is wide open, and a large square table is placed in the front hall, with four neat horse tags on it.
Queen Zhu was sitting on top, smiling and talking to the two people beside her.
Fang Xu took a quick look and saw that the person closer to Queen Zhu was her biological sister Fang Lan, but she had never seen the other one.
Queen Zhu glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Fang Xu. The smile on her face became even wider, and she quickly waved to her, "Xiao Xu, come here quickly!"
When Fang Lan heard this, he also turned around. When he saw Fang Xu, his big eyes lit up and his beady face suddenly smiled, "Xiao Xu!"
Fang Xu stepped forward slowly and bowed politely, "I have seen the Queen, I have seen Princess Zhan, I have seen..."
Fang Xu's eyes fell on the strange woman, guessing her identity.
The woman has an oval face, willow-leaf slender eyebrows, a hibiscus-like face, no hairpin or pearl crown on her head, and her clothes are ordinary. She looks young, about twenty-five or six.
Seeing Fang Xu looking at her, the woman blinked and smiled, "Mrs. Yongcheng, I am Jieyu in the palace, and I have the single name "Shu".
Fang Xu suddenly understood and then saluted, "My wife has met Shu Jieyu."
