The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

How could Liu admit it? "My husband, how could I hate the Queen? I was just a little harsh to her in the past."

Li Guozhu himself didn't care much about his niece. Seeing his wife evading him, he didn't ask further. "Liu, I don't care what you think. When you return to Chang'an City, you'd better be honest and don't cause trouble!"

Liu nodded hurriedly, "Yes, husband!"

Li Guozhu had many things to hand over to Yang Su and was not concerned about the affairs of the inner house.

Seeing that his wife agreed, he stopped caring about it.

Liu was relieved when she saw Li Guozhu leave, "It's good that he's gone!"

Li Tianxiong always kept his head down in front of Li Guozhu, especially since so many servants had just died.

He was usually very afraid of his father, "Mom, you should be more careful with your words in the future!"

Liu thought of the bloody scene and said, "Hmm!"

There are indeed many things that cannot be said.

Liu thought of the beauties from the Western Regions that she had deliberately selected, and this time she was going to bring them into Chang'an City.

These beautiful women were specially prepared for the emperor.

When she arrived in Chang'an, she presented it in the name of her husband.

Humph, she just didn’t believe that the emperor wouldn’t be moved.

Liu's mood is very twisted now. She wants to take advantage of Qin Wan's power, but also wants to see her fall from favor.

The little girl who used to be at her mercy has now become the queen, the most noble woman in the world. Liu's heart is completely unbalanced.

Chang'an City.

The city of Chang'an is also exceptionally lively today because the army that went on the Western Expedition has returned to the capital.

The emperor brought the prince and came to the city gate to greet them in person.

The victory of this Western Expedition was of great significance to the Yan Dynasty.

The previous northern expedition was only to repel the Liang Kingdom and recapture the territory belonging to the Yan Dynasty.

However, this Western Expedition not only defeated the Western Qiang and Baiyi, but also completely seized the territories of the two places.

Zhao Zhen had read the battle reports of every battle, and he never expected that Cao Kun would be so powerful.

In name, Cao Kun could be considered his father-in-law.

Zhao Zhen discovered that because of Wanwan, many capable men in Yan Dynasty could be considered Wanwan's relatives.

Li Guozhu from the Western Regions is Wanwan's uncle, Cao Kun who conquered Western Qiang is her father, and Xia Tongqi, the governor of Yizhou who was in charge of supplying grain and fodder in the rear, is her great uncle.

As for that fellow Langbu, let’s not talk about him…

In short, all this has something to do with Wanwan.

Zhao Zhen thought that it was because of Eunuch Gao brought by Qin Wan that their Zhao family had the excuse to send troops to Chang'an City, and finally, they unified the world.

Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that it was because of Qin Wan that their Zhao family was able to rule the world.

Zhao Zhen, along with important officials of the court, went to the west gate to welcome the returning army.

The army stopped five miles away from Chang'an City, and the general leading the troops continued to ride towards Chang'an City on horseback.

Standing on the high wall, you can see the army in the distance. It is a black mass and the people are as small as ants.

The little lion pulled Cao Zeyu, "Uncle, let's wait for your dad here!"

The Xia family also knew about Cao Kun's return. Mrs. Cao Xia even brought her daughter and son with her and booked a private room in a restaurant along the way just to be able to see her husband returning from the road.

Little Lion and Zhao Zhen went out of the city to greet him. On the way, Little Lion saw his big-headed uncle at a glance.

So he stopped the sedan chair and let my uncle get in directly.

Zhao Zhen did not stop the little lion's behavior. In fact, Zhao Zhen had a good feeling towards this brother-in-law.

After all, this kid is growing up really well. With the hairstyle of his eldest son and the face of his daughter-in-law, they look like a member of our family no matter how you put them together.

Zhao Zhen has a very good impression of Cao Zeyu.

Cao Zeyu came to the city gate tower with the little lion. It was his first time there and he felt shocked.

Cao Zeyu and the little lion were chattering.

The little lion is a chatterbox, and Cao Zeyu is even more outgoing. It's really lively when the two of them are together.

Seeing that the emperor did not say a word to reprimand the two, the big and the small, the other ministers could only watch.

Some people have even set their sights on Cao Zeyu.

People who used to find his identity embarrassing no longer despise him.

This is the Empress's younger brother. His maternal grandfather is the Earl of Yongchang. His three uncles are all high-ranking officials above the fourth rank in the court. In addition, Xia Tongqi has also made contributions this time, so his position will probably be promoted.

There is also his father, Cao Kun. Although he is not a biological relative, he is almost a relative by marriage. After all, this kid has the same surname as him.

Cao Kun has made great achievements this time, and the emperor will definitely promote him.

After analyzing it, I don’t think that afro is an eyesore anymore.

Everyone looked at Cao Zeyu with fiery eyes.

Cao Zeyu is still a teenager, and the little lion is already five years old. After the New Year, he has grown taller and fatter, and Cao Zeyu really can't hold him for too long.

After putting the little lion down, he shook his arm and said, "My father will be approaching soon. Watch through the small hole over there!"

The little lion found that there were really small holes on the wall of the city gate tower. He was like he had discovered a new world. "Oh, it's just right for my height!"

The guarding soldiers were relieved to see the little prince lying on his stomach and looking through the hole.

In fact, they were really afraid that the young prince-in-law would not be able to hold the little prince and that the little prince would fall.

At this time, the generals had already arrived at the city gate tower.

After the city gates were opened, Zhao Zhen and other ministers came to welcome the generals who were going to the battle.

Langbu and Cao Kun hurriedly got off their horses.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

The other generals also knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, long live the emperor!"

Suddenly, all the ministers who were originally standing at the back knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor together.

"Everyone is safe!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cao Zeyu stood up with everyone else and looked at Zhao Zhen wearing a dragon robe. He thought his brother-in-law was so handsome.

Zhao Zhen looked at the generals and said, "Thank you for your hard work, generals!"

Zhao Zhen didn't say much at the city gate. After all, the welcoming banquet in the palace had already been prepared.

Not all returning generals will be welcomed personally by the emperor.

Unless the contribution is great, the emperor will not condescend to come here.

On the way back, Zhao Zhen deliberately let the generals take the lead and walk in front so that they could receive the welcome of the people.

Langbu and Cao Kun were riding on horses and walking in the front.

However, there was a person on the chest of both of them.

Cao Zeyu was very happy to see his father and insisted on riding with him.

Seeing that the emperor had no objection, Cao Kun fished out his eldest son.

The little lion also wanted to show off his power, so he looked at Langbu and saw him smiling at him kindly.

The little lion thought that this guy didn't know that he had let the bees bite him, and he saw that he was very enthusiastic about hugging him.

He reluctantly agreed to it.

The little lion was sitting in front of Langbu at this time. Langbu's big hands, one of which was holding the reins, and the other one was looking around the little lion's body. He hugged him tightly, for fear of dropping him.

Because his warhorse was wild and not everyone could get close to it, let alone ride it.

The little lion had no idea what Langbu was thinking. He was just stretching out his little hand to greet the people.

He thought it was so much fun to go out of the palace.
