Yuwen He was shocked for a moment, then understood that she was referring to the words that he had said to Mo Chuo before, "Maybe a few days after you signed the alliance, I will become a dragon in the sky."

Thinking about it, Yuwen He reached out to Xiao Ruyue's hand, "I don't dare, I won't say anything in the future."

The empress glared fiercely at him. If you dare speak any more nonsense, try me.

It took a lot of effort for him to coax the empress.

Three days later, the Tatar Army had completely withdrawn from the Liangzhou City. Other than the citizens of the city, not a single soldier remained.

The general took over Liangzhou with his army and issued the edict of his lordship: The people of Tartar come and go as they please, and those who are willing to stay are treated equally; they will not be stopped if they want to return to their homeland.

As a result, no one moved.

Those who were used to living in Liang Prefecture were not willing to move away easily, and the citizens of Yanzhou moved over one after another.

As these two cities were close to each other, they had their own business dealings before the war, and their living habits were quite close to each other. Therefore, after the Tatar Army left, the people would live their lives the same way they should, doing business and doing business as usual. They didn't have any influence on their lives due to the war, and on the contrary, they lived more comfortably than they did during the war.

Previously, when the Tatar Army had been stationed in the city, both sides had been on the verge of fighting each other.

Today's result was actually good for the commoners.

It didn't matter who made the decision, the most important thing was to be able to live a good life.

After settling the matters at Liang Prefecture, Yuwen He prepared to return to the capital.

The day before their departure, a group of people had just arrived from the capital. They arrived late in the afternoon, and since they were worn out from the journey, they could no longer afford to rest.

Yin Lin said that when someone came to visit, Xiao Ruyue was embroidering and teasing her Jade Silkworm Gu. It should be called Golden Silkworm Gu now.

"Empress, the Department of the Civil Service has sent Su Shi from the capital to visit. He has already entered the city and is waiting in the hall for an audience. His Majesty has sent a servant to invite you over."

Xiao Ruyue acknowledged her as she attached the embroidery needle and kept the Golden Silkworm Gu inside the cold jade box.

Although the fat bug's appearance had changed, it was still a foodie from the bottom of its bones.

Xiao Ruyue did not have any extra blood to feed it, so she fed it some crushed steamed buns. She also fed it the worms that Chong Yang caught from the outside.

Miss Liangqiu commented: This is my first time seeing the Golden Silkworm Gu being raised so easily.

Empress: It's your first time seeing the Golden Silkworm Gu anyway, what does it matter?

Sister Ya Yin was speechless.

You're pregnant, you're right about everything.

But why was it said that it was extremely difficult to obtain, that it could easily devour the master's Golden Silkworm Gu?

This worm was clearly the same as the Golden Silkworm Gu described in the ancient books, so how could it be so docile?

Could it be that there were two species in this world that looked so similar, but were completely different?

The answer was that she didn't know.

The Empress carried cold jade box out, but Liangqiu Yayin and Yin Lin hurriedly dragged her back.

"If you dress like this and go out, your family member won't be able to eat us." As Ya Yin's sister said this, she quickly pressed her down. Yin Lin and Lu Yi's hands were quick to see, so they put on their cloaks for her. One of them tidied up the cloaks while the other tied them up, they had a very good rapport.

Just as she was about to go out of the door, Lu Yi hurriedly stuffed the jade colored Lunar Rabbit Hair into Xiao Ruyue's hands.

When they arrived, the hall was already filled with people.

Yuwen He was undoubtedly seated, but Du Ziheng and Cui Jingxuan, who were sitting in the center of the hall, were enough to shock Xiao Ruyue.

She paused for a moment, then looked at Yuwen He, "These two are the new thorny history and laws of the Yanzhou?"

Yuwen He nodded, Du Ziheng and Cui Jingxuan stood up and bowed to Xiao Ruyue, "Greetings, Empress."

"All of you should get up. I am one of the top three people on the same ranking as you, so there aren't that many rules." Xiao Ruyue laughed, and his gaze landed on the woman sitting beside Cui Jingxuan.

The woman looked to be about thirty years older than Cui Jingxuan, but her eyes were clean. It was obvious that she was doing very well.

When she heard Xiao Ruyue mention the top three on the same ranking, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"This must be Lord Cui's wife, right?" Previously, she was curious and wanted to meet Cui Jingxuan's wife again, but she never had the chance.

Cui Jingxuan stood up with his wife. "Esteemed Empress, this is the bad guy."

Cui Jingxuan, who always looked as if others owed him a hundred and eighty gold, had a much gentler expression when he looked at his wife.

This was the softest part of their hearts.

Xiao Ruyue could not help but smile, "Your wife is very beautiful."

"No, the empress is the real beauty, a true hero." "You are the first woman in this court to have attended the Imperial Examinations dressed as a woman. This official has admired you for a long time. It is truly a blessing to have met you today!"

The empress had harvested a loyal supporter without any preparation.

He was caught off guard.

Xiao Ruyue could only reply with a faint smile, "Thank you, Madam Cui."

Right now, Du Ziheng was also very calm after seeing Xiao Ruyue. It was likely that after going through some things, he would still be able to grow.

Right now, the trial was about to begin. Yuwen He had brought Han Lin, Han Lin, and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice here, and even made the Young Master Wang stay as a Si Ma. This decision was truly bold.

But then she thought, wasn't Yuwen He paving the way for the great general as well?

Yuwen Xiao was someone who, in the end, had to return to take over the throne.

No one could manage the Yanzhou and Liangzhou.

With the few of them standing guard here, Yuwen He could be at ease.

The next morning, Xiao Ruyue and the rest of the people left for the capital. The Tang family members also returned to the East Mausoleum on the same day, and on the same road, they travelled together.

However, the Clan Master of the Tang Clan did not tell Tang Waner to accompany them, but rather, told her to take care of matters at the Southern Wilderness by herself.

The great general had planned to return to the capital as well, but the military affairs were complicated, and after the war was set, he decided to depart half a month later.

However, everyone was well aware that he could not let the Lady Wan'er of the Tang Clan go. He was afraid that once he left, she would also return home, insisting on waiting for her to leave.

Seeing that his own little brother had fallen in love with her, Yuwen He decided to not stop him. He even advised Vice General Yang to help out a lot.

Vice General Yang saw that his great general had fallen in love, and that he would be able to escape the fate of being mocked in the future. He was extremely happy, and expressed his willingness to share more of the great general's responsibilities.

Of course, the Great General had no idea that his brother and Vice General Yang were behind his scenes. His plan was to work hard to finish this important matter, then after the class could return to the imperial court, he would have the leisure to do so.

Yuwen He was so happy to be the emperor, he didn't want to snatch anything from him. Moreover, as long as he didn't want to be the emperor, Yuwen He wouldn't have any excuses.

If he could unload this burden, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the future.

However, the general's plan had no chance of being realized.

Seven days after Yuwen He and the others left, Tang Waner left as well. Before she left, he specially came to bid farewell to Yuwen Xiao, saying that she wanted to make a trip to the Southern Wilderness.

In his heart, the Great General wanted to follow her, but because of her identity and the heavy burden she carried, he was unable to follow her. He gave Tang Waner two things, telling her to take care of herself, and fought against each other's words before finally sending her out of the city.

Tang Waner left first, then she started on her journey.

He left seven or eight days late, and when he returned to the capital, he realized that the king, who should have gone back to the capital to preside over the situation, had never shown up.

The servants came to report that His Majesty and the Empress had driven away en route, their whereabouts unknown.

Yuwen Xiao was so angry that he almost kicked the horse down.

On the day he entered the capital, the people who came to welcome him were still the Minister of Imperial Household Yue, who was acting as the overseer of the Son of Heaven, as well as the highly respected Imperial Physician Qian and other officials of the imperial court.

After the general dismounted, he could not help but ask Yue Xiang, "Has His Majesty ever come back?"

Yue Xiang shook his head solemnly. "His Majesty and Empress have not returned to the capital since they left the capital."

The Great General deeply felt that he had done something bad to Yuwen He.

Of course, he had already reached the city gates. If he didn't remove his armor and enter the city, he would be seen as an accomplice in the rebellion.

With a sullen expression, the general rode his sword through the biggest, longest, and most prosperous streets of the capital. He received a welcome from the citizens of the city and entered the city.

In the great hall, even the reclusive Empress Dowager had come. How could she not come when her beloved grandson had returned?

"Yun'er, you're finally back! "You little rascal, it's been three years since you left and you haven't come back to see my old woman. Do you really not have a granny like me in your heart?"

"What are you saying, Royal Grandmother? It's not that I can't leave, I've come back to see you." The general was obviously well versed in the ways of handling old men.

Thus, with just a few words, he had managed to make his Empress Dowager Grandmother happy.

Just that, the officials in the hall did not see His Majesty, the dragon throne only had people dressed in dragon robes, and not Yuwen He.

On the other hand, Eunuch Fang Fang Weiyong who had been following Yuwen He before was still sitting beside the dragon throne.

Yuwen Xiao took off his treasure sword and threw it towards Fang Weiyong, "Where is your master?"

His attendants were all here, so how could he not be here?

The Eunuch Fang held onto the sword of the great general and replied, "Great General, His Majesty has already made clear that the great general has rendered meritorious service in the country. However, the great general has already become an outstanding official, so His Majesty has prepared a special bestowment for you."

Yuwen Xiao's brows furrowed, as he suddenly had a bad premonition, "What reward?"

Fang Weiyong did not reply, but exchanged glances with Yue Xiang, and Yue Xiang ascended the stairs, taking out a small embroidered box, and taking out a bright yellow book from within.

"His Majesty has decreed that the great general is to kneel down and obey."

Yue Xiang's voice was powerful and powerful, as if he was announcing something huge.
