Song Huixin looked at his father's back, a little distracted, and involuntarily took two steps towards the horse.
"Hui Xin." Fang Xu raised his hand to hold her, shook his head slowly, and only said, "Go home."
Song Huixin opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She lowered her eyes at a loss, followed Fang Xu, and got into the carriage with three turns.

evening
Granny Yuan led Miao Xuan back to Yongcheng Houfu. As soon as she entered the door, she noticed the low pressure in the house.
Seeing that Fang Xu looked wrong, Granny Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, consciously walked up to sit down, and whispered, "What's going on?"
Fang Xu glanced at her and said softly, "General Song will go on an expedition today. I will take Hui Xin to see him off."
"So fast?" A trace of surprise flashed across Granny Yuan's face, and she whispered, "But are you fully prepared?"
"I don't know." Fang Xu shook his head and said calmly, "It's really strange to leave in such a hurry."
Grandma Yuan looked around and saw that Song Huixin was not there, so she asked, "Where is the second daughter-in-law?"
"I saw that she was really uncomfortable, so I told her to go back to the room to rest." Fang Xu looked sideways at her and whispered, "Mother entered the palace today. Did you make everything clear?"
"Of course I can't go wrong if I take action." Granny Yuan waved her hand nonchalantly and whispered, "Three days later, the emperor will hold a reception banquet for me, and the queen wants to attract Miao Xuan on that day."
"lady."
While the two were talking, Ye Ming quickly walked into the room with a somewhat inexplicable look on his face, "There are two people outside who are asking for a meeting. They don't make any excuses. They just want to see the old lady."
"Meet the old lady?" Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, looked at Granny Yuan with interest, and whispered, "Could it be from the past..."
"You talkative!" Granny Yuan smiled and glared at her, then turned to look at Ye Ming and said in a deep voice, "What kind of two people are they?"
Ye Ming thought about it for a moment and responded in a low voice, "You can't see the faces clearly. They are only two big men wearing black clothes and crying."
Upon hearing this, Granny Yuan immediately guessed who was coming. She looked speechless, waved her hands and said, "Tell them to come in."
Ye Ming raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xu. Seeing that she didn't refute, he immediately responded in a low voice, "Yes."
Not long after, Ye Ming brought in two men in black. The two of them were trembling and helped each other walk to the hall. When they saw the old woman above them, they burst into tears with a loud cry.
Seeing the two grown men crying like this, Fang Xu raised his eyebrows in surprise and watched the show secretly.
The two men in black suddenly knelt down, knelt upright until Granny Yuan was facing the money, and cried at the top of their lungs, "Old Queen! I finally see you!"
"Fifteen whole days... Do you know how we two brothers came here these fifteen days!"
Grandma Yuan stroked her forehead and sighed, "Get up and talk first."
Unfortunately, the two of them were so absorbed in crying that they didn't hear her words clearly and kept talking about their grievances.
"We brothers are not familiar with this place, and we have lived our lives in trepidation, like thin ice, but you are here..." The man in black on the left pointed to the brazier on the ground, and then pointed to the melon and fruit refreshments on the table, "Here. Enjoy!"
The man in black on the right almost died of crying and raised his voice, "Old Queen, we have gone crazy looking for you! If we hadn't seen you enter here with our own eyes today, we don't know when we would have found you!"
Granny Yuan twitched the corner of her mouth, rolled her eyes towards the sky, and shouted loudly, "Stop crying, get up and talk!"
"Oh." When they saw the old queen getting angry, they both stopped crying and stood up timidly.
"These two fools came from the northwest and were responsible for guarding my safety." Granny Yuan glared at them both, looked sideways at Fang Xu, changed her face in an instant, and explained softly.
Fang Xu understood and nodded slowly, "To be able to cry like this shows that the two of them are very loyal."
Granny Yuan snorted, with disdain on her face, "If they hadn't frightened the horse with their clumsiness, I wouldn't have fallen out of the carriage and hurt my head."
The heads of the two men in black were lowered and lowered, like two quails, and they did not dare to say no at all.
"That's weird." Grandma Yuan glanced at the two of them, with an impatient look on her face, "For some reason, the two of them are following me. I'm always very unlucky. I can be thrown out of a carriage or eat steamed buns. I choked half to death, bit a pig's trotter and bit a stone, and lost half of my teeth."
"From the northwest to Dayan, I was almost tortured to death!"
The two men in black did not dare to look up at their master, so they could only huddle up and let their master criticize them.
Speaking of the bloody things that happened along the way, Granny Yuan seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and kept mumbling.
The more Fang Xu listened, the brighter his eyes looked at the two of them.
After Granny Yuan finished complaining, Fang Xu took her hand, raised his eyes to look at the two people huddled together in the hall, and whispered, "What are your names?"
The two looked at each other, wondering whether they should answer or not.
"Mute?" Grandma Yuan stared at them and raised her voice, "Why shouldn't my daughter talk to you?"
The two men in black trembled. Although they didn't understand where the old queen stole the daughter, they still returned to Fang Xu obediently.
"Madam, my name is Xuanwen." The man on the left is taller, has a birthmark the size of a thumb at the end of his eye, and is a bit difficult to speak in Dayan dialect.
"Madam, I am Xuanwu." The man on the right was chubby, his eyes narrowed when he smiled, and the black hat was tightly buckled on his head, leaving red marks like mushrooms.
"Xuanwen Xuanwen...are you biological brothers?" Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Yes." Xuanwen weakly nodded, "I am the elder brother."
Fang Xu looked at them with a smile and asked softly, "Is what the old lady just said true?"
Xuan Wen blushed, but did not dare to deny, "Yes..."
Fang Xu turned his head and asked curiously, "Have you been so unlucky since you were children?"
"That's right..." Xuanwu smacked his lips and whispered, "Somehow, every time someone gets closer to us, they will be unlucky..."
"Madam, the tea is here." Su Zi held up the teapot and walked into the room with a smile. When he came to the two of them, he stepped on the hem of his skirt with his left foot and threw his whole body forward.
Things happened so suddenly that only Ye Ming, who was closest to Su Zi, reacted, hugged her waist, kicked the bottom of the teapot with the instep of his feet, and raised his hand to catch the teapot while it flew up.
"Su Zi!" Seeing Ye Ming save Su Zi, Fang Xu's expression softened a little, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you two burning?"
Su Zi's face turned pale with fright, and he lost his reaction for a moment.
"Back to Madam, we are not injured." Ye Ming shook his head, his expression not much better, and silently pulled Su Zi farther away from Xuan Wen and Xuan Wu.
Seeing this scene, the Xuan brothers were even more embarrassed to see others.
Xuanwen blushed and lowered his voice, "I'm sorry everyone, now that we've confirmed that the old queen is safe, we'll leave first..."
Xuanwu also lowered his head, feeling so wronged that he was about to explode.
Granny Yuan paused and moved her mouth, but in the end she didn't hold back.
"etc."
When the two turned around, Fang Xu spoke quietly, "You guys stay."
