Duanyang stared at her and laughed out loud after a while, "Why are you so anxious, Madam Hou? I just like your child and I'm just joking with you."
Fang Xu curled his lips and said with piercing eyes, "Princess has great ambitions. It's better to do more serious things in your free time. It's not honorable to just stare at my wife."
Duanyang looked at her and tightened his hands hidden in his long sleeves, "Mrs. Hou is a talented person. Generals love good horses, and I am no exception."
"The princess is full of praise, but my wife cannot bear the word "good horse".
She is a human being!
Not the sunshine and rainbow little white horse!
Fang Xu lowered his head and said softly, "My wife has no intention of caring about who is named today. She just wants to close the door of her house and live her own life. Please ask the princess to choose someone else."
"What if I say, I only want you?" Duanyang leaned forward slightly, raised his lips and smiled, "Brother Five Emperors was captured and will be executed three days later. How much of this is your handiwork?"
"Fang Xu, you are really a natural counselor, you should be used by me!" Duanyang stood up and said calmly, "As long as I achieve my wish, the status of women in the entire Dayan will rise with the tide. Don't you want to?"
Fang Xu slowly smoothed his hair from his temples and said in a calm tone, "I don't want to."
The smile on Duanyang's face froze, and he looked at Fang Xu in disbelief, "You!"
"Eldest Princess." Fang Xu met her surprised gaze and showed no sign of weakness, "I am just a poor woman who has lost her husband. There is really nothing I can do."
"If the delay lasts too long, I'm afraid the daughter-in-law at home will become anxious." Fang Xu looked up at her and said calmly, "Princess, please return the child to the Marquis."
"You..." Duanyang felt that all the blood in his body was rushing to the top of his head, and his eyes were fierce, "Okay, this is the path you chose, don't regret it!"
Fang Xu's face didn't change and he said softly, "Thank you princess for letting me go."
Duanyang stood up, stopped looking at her, and shouted loudly, "Qingli, see off the guests!"
When Fang Xu came out with the child, Bai Ji immediately surrounded her, looked her up and down, and asked, "Madam, are you okay?"
Fang Xu shook his head and said softly, "It's okay, let's go."
After leaving the princess mansion, Bai Ji helped Fang Xu get into the carriage.
Sitting in the car, Fang Xu's face was still very bad, and his fingertips were a little numb.
"Madam..." Bai Ji looked at her worriedly and whispered, "How did you carry the little lady out so smoothly? Didn't the princess... make it difficult for you?"
Fang Xu lowered his voice, "I moved General Song out and said that if I didn't return home in time, the Song family's elite cavalry would surround the princess's mansion."
Baiji's face turned pale and he whispered, "Fortunately, Madam, she reacted quickly... otherwise it would have been over!"
Thinking of Duanyang's eyes, which were the same as Xie Changqing's that day, Fang Xu felt a chill down his back for no reason.
"Madam?" Bai Ji came closer and asked in a low voice, "Why does your face look so bad all of a sudden?"
Fang Xu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then made up his mind, "Bai Ji, Princess Duanyang cannot stay."
Bai Ji almost choked to death on his own saliva when he heard this. He coughed a few times and then looked at Fang Xu with wide eyes, a look of shock on his face, "Husband...Madam...we now dare to attack relatives of the emperor." ?”
Fang Xu exhaled, his eyes condensed, "I noticed her look, she wants me to die."
"I can't be used by her, and she naturally can't see me alive." Fang Xu closed his eyes and looked tired, "She and I are not the same people, and she won't keep me anymore."
Bai Ji gritted his teeth, his heart pounded, and he said angrily, "Whatever the madam wants to do, I will follow you!"
Fang Xu raised his eyelids and said softly, "She is always investigating me. Now, let's investigate her too."
Bai Ji straightened his expression and his eyes were sharp, "Let the madam do whatever you want!"
Fang Xu folded his hands on his knees and smiled softly when he heard the words. The curtains were lifted by the wind. When he saw the shop on the roadside, an idea came to his mind.

Yongcheng Houfu
Liu Fanyin found her lost daughter and cried non-stop while hugging Xie Yinyin.
Xie Yinyin's little fleshy face was squeezed into a ball by her, and she still smiled heartlessly.
Fang Xu sat in the hall and told the truth everything that happened in Princess Duanyang's Mansion.
Xie Wanzhou was so frightened that his face turned pale. He held Xie Yinyin's hand and kept saying how lucky he was.
Xie Li's face darkened, his fists clenched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you act like this, if you get into the hall, you will definitely be a tyrant!"
Liu Fanyin hugged Xie Yinyin, her face was too cold, and she said softly, "Mother, this time it was because of my daughter-in-law's negligence that you fell into the tiger's mouth... If mother has a daughter-in-law who can help me on the way forward... , you just give your orders!"
Xie Wanzhou bit her lower lip and said softly, "For her own selfish desires, the eldest princess first assassinated her mother and then kidnapped Yinyin. If she really became a king, wouldn't everyone imitate her?"
"Right now, we can only repeat what happened to the King of War once." Fang Xu's face was calm, and he tapped his fingertips on the pear wood table. "It's just that there is no evidence. Otherwise...how could I let her dance for so long?"
Xie Li lowered his head and stared at a place where he was lost.
Fang Xu noticed him and called out, "Xie Li?"
When he heard his mother calling him, his mind returned to his normal position, he raised his head and said, "Mother."
"What's the matter with you?" Fang Xu looked at him and asked softly.
Xie Li thought for a moment and finally spoke, "Before lunch today, my son received a piece of wood from the fourth prince."
"Fourth Prince..." Fang Xu frowned and recalled, "Yuan Chen?"
Xie Li nodded, "He asked his son to get together at Fulin Restaurant. During the meal, he asked me tactfully what I meant, and there was a hint of wooing in his tone."
"Yuan Chen wants you to side with him?" Fang Xu chuckled, "This fourth prince is not as aloof as he seems."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xu seemed to remember something and slapped the chair handle fiercely.
She remembered!
In the book, before the original person died, the king died of illness, the prince took over the throne, the country changed hands, and the one who survived to the end was Yuan Chen!
"Just promise him." Fang Xu's eyes were full of excitement, but he still lowered his voice, "Believe me, you are right to follow him!"
Xie Li pursed his lips and said warmly, "Mother and son are of the same mind. The fourth prince is calm and restrained, and has a benevolent and reliable heart. He is the best candidate for that position."
Fang Xu nodded repeatedly, and an idea came to his mind, "In this case, the Marquis will only help Yuan Chen, which can be considered as a source of support for the future. In addition, I will order people to investigate Duanyang secretly. If she takes any action, hand it to In front of Yuan Chen, let him take action."
Xie Li lowered his head, "Mother is right."
Several people were chatting in the hall when Ye Ming suddenly appeared, "Madam, something happened!"
Fang Xu paused and subconsciously counted the number of people in the house. After confirming that there were many people, he frowned and asked, "What's all the fuss about?"
"The second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion passed away half an hour ago."
"So what?" Fang Xu asked with a frown, "I don't know his family, am I still guilty of crying?"
"No, madam..." Ye Ming shook his head, with a hesitant look on his face, and whispered, "The Prime Minister was shocked and clamored to find a martyr with a matching horoscope among the noble ladies in the capital... to be buried..."
