After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 432 The Price Lu Jiuyuan Paid
As soon as Lu Jiuyuan returned to Duke Lu's mansion, Mrs. Lu came to greet him, "How is the matter?"

Facing his mother's haggard face, Lu Jiuyuan felt guilty and stretched out his hand to support her, "The matter has been resolved. The emperor is merciful and spared his eldest brother's death. Although he no longer has to be exiled to a bitter and cold place, from now on, they will not be allowed to live in a bitter and cold place without the emperor's permission." Our people will never set foot in the capital again."

"It's good if I can save my life." The old lady nodded frequently and breathed a sigh of relief.

Tao Yao looked at Lu Jiuyuan's calm expression and couldn't help but ask: "The emperor can't change his words so easily, right? Did you promise the emperor something?"

When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he glanced at her and signaled her not to say anything.

Tao Yao glanced at the old lady and closed his mouth.

But the old lady was not stupid. After thinking about it for a moment, she knew that Lao Jiu must have paid a heavy price.

Immediately he asked anxiously: "Is the emperor giving you a hard time?"

"It's nothing, mother, don't think about it. You haven't had a good rest in the past few days. Go back and rest quickly." After Lu Jiuyuan said this, he told Aunt Lan, "Hurry and help my mother go back."

"Yes." Nanny Lan responded and advised the old lady, "Old lady, please go back and rest first. If you have any questions, we can talk to you later."

The old lady had no choice but to leave.

As soon as she left, Lu Jiuyuan put his arm around Tao Yao's shoulder and went to the Star Picking Hall.

There was no one else here, so Tao Yao couldn't help but ask: "What price did you pay?"

"Military Talisman." Lu Jiuyuan's thin lips slowly spit out these two words with a calm tone.

Tao Yao was shocked.

It turned out to be a rune soldier!
For a military general, losing the soldier talisman is more uncomfortable than killing them.

Lu Jiuyuan has sacrificed so much for this country. He fought for what he is today from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Now that the military symbols are handed over, it means that from now on, he will step down from all military affairs and can no longer participate in military affairs. .

Although he acted calm and relaxed, she knew that he was actually feeling very sad.

But at the end of the day, it was her fault that things had come to this.

"I'm sorry." She hung her head guiltily.

Lu Jiuyuan asked in confusion: "What are you apologizing for?"

There was a sparkle in Tao Yao's eyes, "If I hadn't left Wanwan and the others to drink that day, what happened later wouldn't have happened, and you wouldn't have to hand over your military power to make up for your mother."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb, and said amusedly: "This matter, without you, would still happen, do you think Lu Qingbai hates me? He has always hated me, there is no such thing as Wanrun , and sooner or later he will find a reason to deal with us.

As for the military talisman, the emperor had long since decided to take it back.

Nowadays, the world is at peace. The Xiongnu have been recuperating and recuperating these years and are unable to fight anymore. The emperor sees that the border is peaceful and there is no need for me at all, so he naturally wants to take back the military symbols.

Without this matter, sooner or later the emperor would find some excuse and ask me to hand over the military talisman.

I think it's good now, I feel relaxed, and I will have more time to spend with you and Zhen'er in the future. "

"Really?" Tao Yao looked at him dubiously.

"Of course it's true. And I've been tired for so many years. I'm so happy to be able to step back." Lu Jiuyuan shook her shoulder and said with a smile.

Tao Yao felt a lot relieved after hearing this, "It's just as you said, that's fine."

"Well, so you don't have to blame yourself. The matter has nothing to do with you. It will happen sooner or later." Lu Jiuyuan said warmly.

Not long after, Qi Yan and Dafu Guo arrived.After Lu Jiuyuan sent Tao Yao back to the courtyard, he invited Qi Yan and Taifu Guo into the study.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Qi Yan couldn't hold back, and asked first, "Why did the Duke suddenly hand in the military talisman?"

Guo Taifu didn't speak, but he also had doubts.

"Your Majesty has long wanted to take back the military talisman. This time, I wanted to save my brother's life, so I exchanged it for the military talisman." Lu Jiuyuan said nonchalantly.

"Lu Boyan didn't treat you well either. The price you paid this time was too high." Taifu Guo sighed.

Lu Jiuyuan paused and said warmly: "The matter is now over, the teacher and the prince should relax. I don't have the military talisman around me, so it won't affect the prince. The prince has no opponent now, but the emperor is physically strong. The prince must be able to endure it." It’s your temperament.”

Qi Yan frowned, "I don't think about myself, but it's just not worth it for the Duke. The Duke has done so much for the court and the people, but in the end, my father..."

"The emperor has his own considerations. The prince does not need to feel grievances for me. Besides, I am a little tired now. It would be good to take this time to take my wife and children out for a walk." Lu Jiuyuan interrupted him.

Master Guo sighed, "The matter has come to this, and it can only be like this. Jiuyuan will take advantage of this time to cultivate himself. I am still young. When the prince ascends to the throne in the future, I will need your advice."

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, "As long as the prince has a teacher by his side, I can't help him anymore."

"My lord, please don't say that. You are like a parent to me. If it weren't for my lord, I wouldn't be where I am now. My lord has now stepped down from military duties. It doesn't matter. As Taifu said, my lord During this period, please rest well. One day, I will re-deliver the military talisman and hand it over to the Duke." Qi Yan said solemnly.

Lu Jiuyuan said: "Thank you very much for the crown prince's trust in me, but the military talisman is for those who are capable. Prince, please do not treat talented people poorly because of me. I am not young anymore. By then, those who can help the crown prince I’m afraid there’s no place left.”

When Qi Yan heard this, he frowned, but he didn't try to persuade him any more. After all, he would remember it in his heart.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Qi Yan and Taifu Guo stood up and left.

After sending them out, Lu Jiuyuan returned to the study, looked at every military book displayed on the bookshelf, and finally sighed.

In the evening, Tao Yao cooked himself and cooked a table of delicious dishes for Lu Jiuyuan.

When Lu Jiuyuan came over, he saw a table full of dishes and couldn't laugh or cry. "Is it too much? How can we both finish it?"

Just as Tao Yao was about to say something, Lu Hao suddenly ran in like a gust of wind, "If you can't finish it, there's me. I can finish it."

Tao Yao: "..."

Lu Jiuyuan paused, raised his hand and rubbed his head, "Why are you here?"

"I missed Zhen'er. I came over to see him. Unexpectedly, I smelled the aroma of the food as soon as I stepped outside the door. I'm so lucky." Lu Hao looked at the dishes on the table and sipped his saliva.

Tao Yao said helplessly, "Then go and clean your hands."

Lu Hao nodded and hurriedly went.

Lu Jiuyuan then went to clean his hands.

When he came back, he took his son over from the nanny's hands, and then sat down at the table.

Lu Hao immediately came over and said with a smile: "Zhen'er, do you miss me?"

Zhen'er immediately grinned, as if thinking.

Lu Hao was so happy, he was about to lean over to kiss his face, but Lu Jiuyuan held his head, and he said in a deep voice, "Lu Hao, you can't!"

Lu Hao said angrily: "Why not? Aunt Ninth often kisses Zhen'er's face like this."
