Miao Xuan's words fell to the ground, and everyone's hearts were relieved.

Queen Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and met Granny Yuan's eyes.

Granny Yuan's face was also a little pale. It was obvious that she was also afraid that Miao Xuan had said the wrong thing and would not be able to survive the night.

Miao Xuan's words can be said to be in order, without any flaw. Even if the emperor deliberately found trouble, he could not say a word "no".

"The words are pleasing to the ear, but we still need to decide whether you have real ability." The emperor softened his expression and lowered his voice, "That's it, go back to serve your aunt."

"Yes." Miao Xuan stood up, walked to Granny Yuan in small steps, and poured her a glass of wine.

The emperor raised the wine cup in his hand, looked calm, and said loudly, "It's a bit unexpected, but it doesn't matter. You can eat and drink as you please."

The officials also raised their lamps with him, with respectful smiles on their faces.

After the episode, no one paid attention to Sui Yin who was dragged away, and no one cared to observe Cui Shangshu who was stiff.

All the officials had different thoughts. They were laughing loudly on their faces, but secretly they had already been thinking about Xiao Jiujiu.

The true dragon's fate was no longer in his mind, and the officials' thoughts returned to their original positions. They began to look at the princes carefully, thinking about whose team they should stand in.

"Are you so brave?" Granny Yuan stared at Miao Xuan's profile and asked in the midst of the chaos.

Miao Xuan took advantage of the break of pouring the wine and whispered back, "Mrs. Hou taught me to say this. She had already expected that that person would find trouble."

Granny Yuan suddenly realized, her eyes fell on Fang Xu who kept showing off her face, with an expression of anger on her face, "I wonder why that girl is so calm and calm... She must have been prepared for it!"

"Mrs. Hou said that the emperor is difficult to handle and will definitely find ways to embarrass us, so she talked to me early on." The corner of Miao Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of softness flashed in his eyes, "Mrs. Hou is extremely smart and can do everything. well considered."

Granny Yuan couldn't hide her pride, she suppressed the corners of her mouth and said, "I don't even know whose daughter it is!"

After the banquet, the night was hazy, the silver moon hung high, and the carriage drove slowly down the street.

Fang Xu stepped into the Hou Mansion, only to see that there was still light coming out of the hall.

Bai Ji opened the heavy door curtain, and then Fang Xu saw the girl in the room clearly.

"Huixin?"

Song Huixin raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw it was Fang Xu, the corners of his mouth raised, "Mother, you are back."

Fang Xu nodded, looking puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you waiting here alone?"

"I had nothing to do, so I thought I would wait here for Xie Li." Song Huixin smiled coquettishly and became the bright and straightforward girl again.

Hearing this, Fang Xu joked playfully, "I know you are newlyweds, so you don't have to be like this, right?"

Song Huixin's face was shy, her earlobes were a little red, "It's been so many days, how can we still call it a newlywed?"

While the two were chatting, Xie Li opened the door curtain and was stunned when he saw the scene in the room.

"The protagonist is here." Fang Xu looked at his chin, his eyebrows were soft, and he chuckled, "Your wife is waiting for you here, I'm afraid that she won't be the first person you see when you return to the house."

"Mother!" Song Huixin stamped her feet anxiously, her little face burning red, "You...you..."

You've been talking for a long time, but you haven't been able to tell me why.

Xie Li's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at Song Huixin with hot and honest eyes, which were a bit brighter than the bright moon outside.

"Xie Li!"

"Master Shen, you can't..."

Shen Ji suddenly burst into the hall. The man who had always been gentle and polite now looked solemn, his black hair was messed up by the wind, and his steps were a little unsteady.

<divclass="contentadv"> When Shen Ji saw that Xie Li was not the only one in the room, he paused when the words came to his lips and swallowed them back.

Behind him was a panicked Ye Ming. Seeing his wife, he felt a little aggrieved and complained in a low voice, "Madam... I can't stop Master Shen..."

Xie Li stared at him, thinking of his evil thoughts towards his mother, his expression suddenly turned ugly, and his tone became colder, "It's very late, why did Master Shen come to our house?"

Shen Ji moved his mouth. Although he was panicking, he still had reason to say, "Xie Li, please take a step to speak."

Xie Li was confused and walked out with him.

Fang Xu looked at the two people's backs, frowning slightly, and felt a little nervous for a moment.

Shen Ji is usually the most stable, indifferent to emotions and anger, and treats everyone with a smile. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a smiling tiger.

But right now, he is so rude, without any clues, and breaks into other people's mansions without waiting for notification.

This is not his style, he must have encountered some difficulty, and this matter... I am afraid that even the fourth prince cannot solve it.

"Mother..." Song Huixin looked sideways at her with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with Mr. Shen? This is the first time I've seen him like this."

Even the careless Song Huixin noticed something was wrong.

Fang Xu calmed down, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, comforting her softly, "Xu is an order from the fourth prince. Don't worry, go back to Jingyuan and wait for him."

Song Huixin bit her lower lip and nodded slightly, "Yes."

Seeing Song Huixin leaving, Fang Xu and the two maids looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

Bai Ji took advantage of the darkness and ran out through the side door.

Beside the rockery, Xie Li stood still, stared at Shen Ji with a strange expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you so impatient? You can't tell me in front of my mother and wife?"

Shen Ji breathed out, his head was in a mess, and his tone was a little more serious, "I specifically called you here to make it clear that this matter cannot be known to others!"

Xie Li looked a little solemn when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice, "You can't let others know...what's the matter?"

While the two were talking, they didn't notice a petite figure quietly disappearing into the rockery.

Shen Ji stood beside the mountain, his figure tall and straight, his handsome face tainted with a bit of anger, "The spy's letter shows that there is no war between the two countries at all!"

Xie Li felt his ears ringing for a moment, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his voice was trembling, "No... what does this mean?"

Shen Ji's eyes were cold and his voice was slightly hoarse, "The northwest has benefited from the trade between the two countries. Now we are holding the Great Yan, how can we rashly send troops?"

"The war between the two countries is false, the capture of Luan County is also false, and the fifty thousand troops are even more false."

"Only General Song's departure from Beijing is true."

"Xie Li, we were fooled!"

When Bai Ji, who was hiding behind the mountain, heard this, his eyes widened in horror, and he covered his mouth with both hands, for fear that he would cry out.

Xie Li's figure swayed, a little unable to stand, and murmured, "Then my father-in-law..."

"After receiving the letter from the spy, I immediately handed the letter to the fourth prince, hoping that he would send troops to chase the Iron Armored Army... I hope I can catch up."

Shen Ji's words reached Xie Li's ears, causing a roar.

He didn't dare to think... what would happen if Huixin knew about this?

"But who did you find out?" Xie Li raised his eyes, the corners of his eyes were red, "If you dare to plot against us, I won't let it go!"
