We are all reborn, of course we have to overthrow it and start over again to take the whole family f

"Oh, King Cheng has returned triumphantly, congratulations! Where is little Fu Nu? Come and let me see her."

Emperor Dewu personally went to the city gate to welcome King Cheng's troops. This made Jiao Qingchuan helpless.

No way, Your Majesty, we won a great victory in the northern border and returned to the capital, but you didn't even go to the city gate to greet us. It's just to suppress a bandit, but you made such a big fuss.

Could it be that the bandit leader has great reputation? That doesn't seem likely!

Emperor Dewu didn't care whether General Jiao was confused or not. He patted King Cheng on the shoulder symbolically to show his appreciation, then turned around and strode towards Shihua behind King Cheng, ignoring the shocked looks of the officials accompanying him, and picked her up.

Earlier, he had received a report from King Cheng, saying that Qingfeng Village had been wiped out, the bandit problem had been quelled, the bandit leader had been captured, and the little girl Fu was brought back.

Cheng Dazhuang has been handed over to the Dali Temple, and the officials from the Ministry of Justice will try his case on a date to be chosen.

Shihua and Yun were brought before Emperor Dewu before they even had time to change their clothes.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!!"

When Yun saw Emperor Dewu coming, she knelt down and saluted him.

"Everyone, stand up. Stand up."

Emperor Dewu raised his hand to signal, but only for a moment, then focused his gaze on Shihua.

"Little Huahua, are you okay? Come here, let the emperor take a look. Is there a single hair missing?"

After that, Emperor Dewu observed her for a week. Seeing that she was only a little dirty and her clothes were a little torn, but she had not lost any weight, he was relieved.

Seeing how much Emperor Dewu treasured flower planting, Jiao Qingchuan suddenly realized.

It turns out that the emperor made such a big fuss just for the baby. It was them, the old peacock was being too sentimental.

Of course, he was not the only one who shared the same sentiments as him, there were also the civil and military officials accompanying him.

Now they know who they will have to curry favor with in the future.

And we have to act quickly. We might anger the emperor someday. If the little baby can speak up and plead for mercy, maybe the big thing will be turned into a small thing, or the small thing will be eliminated.

"Uncle Emperor, Huahua is fine. Look, she's fine. But I'm hungry and need some meat. In that big mountain, Huahua can't eat any meat and has become skinny due to hunger."

Shihua raised her little arm to show Emperor Dewu.

Well, she was round and fair, and she didn't seem to have lost weight. She couldn't fool him. But she made up her mind and insisted that she had lost weight, really lost weight.

Hahaha……

Emperor Dewu laughed heartily. He knew, of course, that this little girl was crying so miserably just for a meal of meat.

But he saw through it but didn't say anything. He had heard that at Yun's house, Yun limited the amount of meat she ate.

Moreover, not only the quantity is limited, but the cooking methods, such as roasting, broiling, frying, etc., are also controlled again and again.

This little meat tiger couldn't get enough of the food at Yun's house, so he ran to the palace to beg for food.

"Okay, no problem." Emperor Dewu scratched Shihua's little nose.

"The palace has prepared a celebration banquet for you. There is a lot of meat, including your favorite roasted chicken legs, white jade hoof trotters, and salted duck..."

Emperor Dewu was in a difficult position, so he told Shihua the names of the dishes. These dishes with lots of meat and fat were what Shihua liked to eat.

"Okay, okay." Shihua clapped her chubby hands excitedly, "Hurry up, hurry up, Huahua is hungry, I want to eat."

Yun, who was following behind them, had an embarrassed and frowning face.

Uh... Huahua, let's not be so embarrassed! If you say that, your mother will lose face and be embarrassed in the whole capital.

The celebration banquet was lavish, but not large in scale. After all, it was just a fight to suppress a bandit, and if it was too exaggerated, it would discourage the soldiers guarding the border.

Emperor Dewu was right. Most of the dishes at the celebration banquet were Shihua's favorites.

However, these days, Shihua has been very busy, riding in a carriage, going up the mountain, and even having to find time to use his spiritual power to summon wolves and snakes to clear the area.

She is still a little baby, lacking in physical strength, and looks like she is about to fart from exhaustion.

He had only eaten half of the golden and fragrant chicken leg that was sizzling with oil, and then he fell asleep with a mouthful of meat in his mouth.

She didn't even have a bite of the secret roast that Princess Xunyang sent over.

There was no other choice, so King Cheng had to instruct the palace servants to pack the food for her, put it in a food box, and send it directly to Yun's house so that she could eat it when she woke up.

Yun was so distressed that she took Shihua and asked for her leave from Emperor Dewu.

……

Royal study room.

In the hall of the imperial study, on a huge marble table, there was an ordinary boxwood box. The lid of the box had been opened, and it was filled with gold bars, silver ingots, and some valuable pearls, jade, etc., with dazzling jewels.

Next to the boxwood box, there was a thread-bound book with a blue cover. There was no title on the cover. But from the fact that Cheng Wang had placed it next to the wooden box, it was clear that there was something incredible hidden in the blue cover.

"Your Majesty, these are the spoils of war seized from the crackdown on Qingfeng Village. I have looked at them and picked some out and sent them to you for your decision.

The box of gold, silver and jewelry was the one that Cheng Dazhuang took with him when he fled. It was also sent by King Ning as money to buy the flowers for his life.

Cheng Dazhuang was thrown off by the spicy strips and fell flat on his face. But the wooden box on his back was completely intact, with only a small crack. It was also God's will.

King Cheng opened it and examined it. At a glance, he saw that the gold bars looked familiar. He picked them up and looked at them carefully, and his heart began to beat fast.

Gold bars and silver ingots were not rare. Most spoils of war were used directly as military expenses or as rewards for meritorious soldiers. King Cheng had the authority to do so.

But he sent these things here so eagerly, there must be something fishy going on.

Emperor Dewu took out a gold bar from the small wooden box, took a look at it, and his expression changed.

This gold bar...

This gold bar is a royal possession. In the subtle places, it is engraved with the secret mark of the royal family, which ordinary people do not know.

This kind of gold bar is usually rewarded by the emperor to meritorious officials or members of the royal family.

"Your Majesty, please look at this again."

King Cheng picked up the blue book again, held it in both hands, and presented it to Emperor Dewu.

"Your Majesty, please take a look. Perhaps the disappearance of Little Fu Nu this time may be related to this."

King Cheng spoke so seriously, and since it was about Xiao Fu Nu, Emperor Dewu also took it seriously.

He took the blue book, opened it and took a quick look. The contents of the book made his back go cold.

This blue notebook is the diary written by He Yong.

What use is that military advisor in the bandit's den? Who would have thought that he is actually King Ning's man.

He was one of the strange men recruited by the Ning Wang Mansion. It was unknown where the Ning Wang got the secret recipe for nurturing the charm beads. He gave this task to He Yong.
