Chapter 227
Upon hearing this, the maid immediately shut her mouth.

"I'll go to the Butterfly Leaf Room to see her." Wan Run said.

The maid nodded.

While Wanrun was living leisurely in Jujiu Palace, a major event happened in the court that shocked the court and the public.

The emperor seized Zhang's family by means of thunder and weaving charges.

All the Zhang family members were sent to prison.

The once-prominent Zhang family fell into decline in an instant.

While the government and the public were shocked, the prince and his party were very excited.

"The emperor finally disposed of the Zhang family."

"I have to thank that Wan Jieyu. It seems that the emperor really dotes on that one. The Zhang family's power is deeply intertwined. The emperor has always been hesitant to take action, but because of Wan Jieyu's grievance, he copied the Zhang family. "

Qi Yan, who had been silent all this time, heard the discussions of Mu Liao, and suddenly said calmly: "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter."

"What's wrong?" Mu Liao asked immediately.

"Qi Feng molested Wan Jieyu in the palace, I always feel that there is a push behind it." Qi Yan frowned.

"Your Highness is saying that someone is behind the scenes to fuel the flames?" asked the crowd of Mu Liao.

"It should be." Qi Yan nodded.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy, and always felt that the matter was not over yet.

At the same time, Xiyue Palace.

The Zhang family was overwhelmed. Apart from the excitement of the crown prince, Rongniang was the happiest.

She cut off Zhang Guifei's mother and son as well as the Zhang family's wings without a single soldier.

Next, the person she should deal with is the prince.

……

border town.

Tao Yao received a letter from Gu Changqing.

In the letter, Wan Run's current situation was clearly stated.

However, the border town is relatively lagging behind. The letter Tao Yao received was written by Gu Changqing before the Shangyuan Festival, so the content written in the letter is also what happened before the Shangyuan Festival.

I heard that at the dinner on the first day of the new year, the emperor took a fancy to a dancer and brought her into the palace. The emperor has been obsessed with her recently, but Wanrun did not know what mistake she made, so she was confined in Jujiu Palace , which is equivalent to knocking down the limbo.

When she saw the letter, Tao Yao was a little worried for Wan Run.

Sure enough, the emperor's heart is deep and unpredictable. One moment he can pamper you, and the next moment he can put you in the cold palace.

She regretted sending Wanrun into the palace that day.

It's just that the girl was beautiful, and she didn't have the ability to protect herself, so she was coveted by others when she was living outside.

Now she is grounded in the palace, I hope she can be well.

She was just thinking about it, when suddenly a hand stretched out from behind and took away the letter paper in her hand.

Tao Yao was startled, but when she turned her head and saw it was Lu Jiuyuan, she breathed a sigh of relief, "When did you come back? You scared me!"

"What did you do wrong? You can be scared like this." Lu Jiuyuan teased and looked down at the letter.

When he saw that it was written by Gu Changqing, he showed displeasure, "You actually communicated with this guy behind my back?"

"I didn't carry your back, aren't you reading the letter right now?" Tao Yao rolled her eyes.

After reading the letter, Lu Jiuyuan knew why the two of them corresponded?
He burned the letter paper casually.

Seeing Tao Yao's worried look, he came out to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing to be grounded, otherwise how can she, a little girl, beat the imperial concubine and Zhang Guifei?"

After what he said, Tao Yao understood, "It's true."

"Okay, let's go clean up and return to Beijing in a few days." Lu Jiuyuan patted her on the shoulder.

Tao Yao's eyes lit up, "Are you going back? Are you done with the negotiations with Khitan?"

"Hmm." Lu Jiuyuan nodded, "The battle a year ago caused heavy damage to them. In addition to the cold last year, they froze a lot of cattle and sheep to death. Now they are unable to fight anymore and just want to recover."

Tao Yao nodded, "That's really great, the frontier should be peaceful for a while."

"However, when we return to Beijing this time, Khitan will send envoys to accompany us to Beijing." Lu Jiuyuan said again.

"What are they following?" Tao Yao was puzzled.

"They are the defeated side. If they want a truce, they must be sincere. They will bring tributes such as cattle, sheep and jewelry. In addition, they will also present a princess." Lu Jiuyuan explained.

Tao Yao was very sad to hear that.

The price Khitan paid was very heavy.

But this war was provoked by the Khitan side, so it is not worthy of sympathy at all.

"Fortunately, Dayan has you!" Tao Yao put her arms around Lu Jiuyuan's waist and said sincerely.

Lu Jiuyuan embraced her, "No, fortunately there are brave soldiers and people who trust us."

Tao Yao nodded, "Then you have won the battle this time, and you have returned in triumph. Then the emperor will reward you for your merits, right?"

"Well, yes." Lu Jiuyuan said firmly.

He may not grant rewards, but the soldiers below throw their heads and shed blood, the emperor should reward them for their meritorious deeds.

If not, he will fight for them.

He will not let the soldiers down.

Hearing what he said, Tao Yao became a little worried, "You are already in a high position, if you award a reward, you will reach the top of the sky, the emperor will definitely not reward you."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a reward, I didn't lead the army because of this." Lu Jiuyuan didn't care.

Tao Yao frowned and said, "But it's not justified not to give you a reward, so the emperor might give you a beauty."

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and said amusedly, "After talking so much, is that what you're worried about?"

"Shouldn't I be worried?" Tao Yao asked back, "Khitan even offered a princess, what if the emperor gives you that princess? Can you not?"

"Don't worry!" Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, "Why did you say that the emperor will reward me with gold? Besides, the Khitan present is a princess, either the emperor will take it into the harem himself, or give marriage to other princes. Don't worry, it won't be my turn. I."

Tao Yao crossed her waist and said, "It's not your turn? Why does this tone sound regretful? Is that Khitan princess very beautiful?"

"When I was negotiating, I took a look. She looked okay, but not as good-looking as you." Lu Jiuyuan said truthfully.

Originally, Tao Yao was a little jealous when he said that she glanced at Princess Khitan, but when she heard the back, the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably, "For you have eyes!"

Lu Jiuyuan smiled, "Okay, let's not talk anymore, I still have business to deal with, so I'm leaving."

"Well, then I'll go and pack my things." Tao Yao stopped pestering him and happily went to pack her luggage.

She was very happy when she thought that she was going back to Beijing soon.

Her father is going to marry Aunt Mulan, and counting the time, his father should leave for Linzhou by now.

When they returned to the capital, it was just in time for their father's wedding.

After the wedding of Father and Aunt Mulan is over, it will be Tao Shu's wedding day.

Also, Tao Ling also wrote her a letter, saying that she was engaged to Gu Changqing years ago, and the wedding date was set in August this year.

Tao Yao suddenly discovered that there are many happy events this year.

……

A few days later, Tao Yao and others packed their bags, bid farewell to Uncle Tian, ​​and returned to the capital with the army.
