When Fang Xu came out of the palace, it was still early.
Su Zi was waiting in the carriage. When Fang Xu came out, he quickly got out of the car to greet her, "Madam, are you okay?"
Fang Xu talked quietly, shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just feel tired."
"Madam, hurry up and get in the car. The car said." Su Zi held her hand and said softly.
After getting into the carriage and sitting on the soft cushions, Xu Xu realized how difficult it was for him just now. He had just escaped from a tiger's mouth!
"Madam..." Su Zi looked at her pale face and asked in a low voice, "But... was that person making things difficult for me?"
Fang Xu nodded, with a look of helplessness on his face, "I handed over the elite soldiers left behind by the Marquis, and then I got my sister back."
"What?" Su Zi's face turned pale, "That was what the Marquis left for you to save your life... How could Madam give away such an important thing?"
Fang Xu looked at her and said softly, "If I don't bleed heavily, do you think I can save my sister?"
"When fighting a snake, it's important to hit it seven inches. It needs one blow to kill. The same is true for that person. I only have one chance to bargain. If I can't satisfy him, I will be completely helpless!"
Su Zi pursed her lips, "But..."
Fang Xu's eyes darkened, and he slowly exhaled, "As soon as I entered the palace, the man opened his mouth and asked about Xie Li's marriage. What he said clearly meant something!"
"In our Marquis Mansion, both Xie Changqing and Xie Li are just writing. These two elite teams are of little use to us."
"But the problem lies in the fact that the Marquis Mansion and the General Mansion have made a marriage agreement. General Song has a lot of troops and has real power. As the emperor, he must be worried that these two elite troops will fall into the hands of General Song."
"If I don't fight..." Fang Xu closed his eyes, "Xie Li's marriage will be ruined."
"Oh my God..." Su Zi sat aside blankly, unable to recover for a long time, "Fortunately, Madam is smart. If she were a slave, I don't know whether she would be able to come out with all her beard and tail!"
Fang Xu leaned against the car wall and sighed softly, "People often say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. I have experienced it today. I knelt inside and didn't dare to take a breath."
Su Zi beat her legs for her, her face turned pale, and she murmured, "It'll be good if Madam comes out safely... It'll be good if she comes out safely..."
"Look at my head, I almost forgot about it!" Fang Xu patted his head, "Can Xie Li go home today?"
Su Zi estimated the days with a happy face, "Oh, it's true! It's been exactly three days. After noon, the young master will be back!"
Fang Xu had a smile on his face and said softly, "Then let's not go back home at all and wait to take him home."
"Yes." Su Zi opened the curtain and said to the driver, "Don't go back home, go directly to Yanjing Gongyuan!"
The carriage turned around and headed to the other side.
The waiting time passed extremely slowly. Fang Xu and Su Zi just finished two plates of snacks together before they heard the bell ringing in Mingyuan Tower.
"Is it out?" Fang Xu brushed off the cake crumbs on his clothes and urged Su Zi, "Have a look!"
Su Zi responded, wiped his mouth carelessly, opened the curtains and looked back. He didn't see Xie Li, but he saw Song Huixin.
"Miss Song?" Su Zi looked surprised and called out.
The next moment, a head popped out from the side.
Song Huixin was standing not far from the carriage. When he heard the words, he turned around and saw the two of them. He grinned brightly and said, "Madam, are you coming to see Xie Li too?"
"Don't stand there and get too hot!" Fang Xu waved, with a loving look on his face, "Come and wait in the car."
"Hey, here we come!" Song Huixin was not polite, holding up the hem of her skirt and walking over.
Seeing her come in, Fang Xu raised his lips and smiled softly, "You came early today."
Song Huixin smiled sheepishly, "I got up late when I was taking the exam, so naturally I have to get up earlier today."
The two were chatting happily. Su Zi was lying at the window. When he saw someone coming out, he immediately said, "Madam, Miss Song, the second young master is out!"
When Song Huixin heard this, he immediately glanced out the window and saw that it was Xie Li. He immediately got out of the carriage, raised his arms and called, "Xie Li, this way!"
When Xie Li heard a familiar voice, he paused, stopped to talk to the person next to him, and followed the sound.
Seeing that it was Song Huixin, Xie Li slowly smiled, raised his arm and waved to her.
Seeing the other party's response, Song Huixin smiled even more charmingly.
"Brother Shen." Xie Li cupped his fists and bowed to the man on one side, "Someone from my house is looking for me, so I will leave first. We will talk to you another day."
Fang Xu got out of the carriage and said, "Xie Li, where are you... eh, Shen Ji?"
When Shen Ji, who was standing not far away, saw Fang Xu, he straightened his back slightly and saluted, "Madam, Shen Ji is polite."
Fang Xuyang smiled, as if they were familiar with each other, "Why are you here too? Aren't you already a teacher?"
Shen Ji's eyes were soft and he half-smiled, "Although I have become a gentleman, I am still just a scholar. As people go to higher places, I also want to find an opportunity."
"That's it." Fang Xu nodded with admiration on his face, "If you have this determination, you will win over others a lot. You will definitely be able to go to high school!"
Shen Ji smiled warmly and said, "I accept Madam's good advice."
Xie Li paused in his steps, with a suspicious look on his face. His eyes flickered between the two of them, and he said in a surprised tone, "You... know each other?"
"Of course we know each other." Fang Xu nodded, "Our medical clinic in Dongshi was transferred from Shen Ji's parents."
When Xie Li heard this, he looked away clearly.
Shen Ji nodded, "It's getting late, so I won't delay you any longer. I'll go ahead."
After saying this, Shen Ji turned around and walked forward with the package.
"Shen Ji, where do you live?" Fang Xu stopped him and raised his voice, "Let's take you back."
Shen Ji's eyes darkened, he looked back with a smile, shook his head and said, "I won't bother you, madam, the East Market is not far from here."
"Brother Shen, come with me. The carriage is a big place." Xie Li stepped forward and asked him with a smile, "I happen to have a question I don't understand, and I have to ask Brother Shen to help me answer it."
Shen Ji looked hesitant, but seeing Xie Li insisting, he smiled warmly and said, "That's fine."
"Come on!" Song Huixin reached out and took Xie Li's cloth bag with a naive smile, not forgetting to take credit, "How about it, I came early today, right?"
"It's indeed early." Xie Li said warmly with a smile on his face, "At this hour, you haven't had lunch yet, right?"
Song Huixin shook his head, his face turned pink, "In order to apologize to you, I came here early!"
"Then go back home and have dinner with me, okay?" Xie Li looked at her with a smile, his voice was clear.
Song Huixin crossed his arms and pouted, but a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "Hey... I will reluctantly agree."
"You two, let's talk after we get in the car." Fang Xu waved and asked them to get into the carriage.
A few people got on the car and had just settled down when a string of firecrackers were thrown out of nowhere and landed right next to the horses' hooves.
"Masters, be careful, the horses are frightened!"
