After that, a major event happened in the capital, and He Zao's attention was also diverted from this matter.

In the past few years, the northern and southern borders of the imperial court have been unstable, and wars have occurred from time to time, and the only thing that makes the He family fortunate is that Huaiqing Mansion is still relatively peaceful in the Central Plains, and there has been no conscription by the government.

However, these small battles cannot be ignored, at least the southern barbarians attacked the border, burned and looted the villages where they lived on the border, and they had heard of countless deaths.

That's why Archer said that he was going to the south to join the army.

The Han Mansion and the Gu Mansion both have their own forces in the south, and they have big battles, so it is easier to make war achievements by going to the south than to the north.

Therefore, when he heard that the imperial court had won a battle against the Southern Barbarians, and defeated the Southern Barbarians with fewer victories and more victories, the first thought of the army returning to the dynasty was that Ah Che had returned.

Such a good opportunity for meritorious service, He Zao did not believe that he would give up.

So, the next few days. She stood at the gate of the city, intentionally or not, and followed everyone to see the troops who had returned to the dynasty.

On this day, she and Sibao stood at the gate of the city, looking at the majestic generals who were riding on war horses and wearing the general's mansion, they were the first to enter the city, and these soldiers in front of them were the highest-ranking people in the army.

And the one who is the leader, surnamed Gu, is called Gu Rufeng, who is about forty years old, this is the general of the Gu Mansion, and he is followed by two young men who look similar to him, who should also be members of the Gu family.

However, He Zao looked left and right, but he couldn't see Ah Che's figure.

She was a little suspicious that he hadn't come back at all, maybe the time was not ripe yet, and he wouldn't be able to appear in the capital!

He Zao was a little regretful, and turned his head to look at Sibao, who was looking at her with a very strange and worried gaze.

He was already stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

Sibao smiled and shook his head: "Do you want to go back?" ”

He also took a closer look, and there was no figure of Ah Che in the crowd.

He nodded early and left the bustling street with Sibao.

On the way back, He Zao couldn't help but ask: "You say, why didn't he come back?" ”

Now is the time for the army to return to the dynasty and the court to reward meritorious deeds, if Zhu Yunche really wants to come back, now is the best time.

Sibao shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that even if he is back, let's not have too much contact with him!" ”

He Zao was stunned: "Why?" ”

Sibao looked at her with a confused look, and wanted to sigh, although He Zao has always been very shrewd and capable, but in the matter of Ah Che, he seemed to be a little slow to react.

Ah Che has a deep blood feud, is not in the same place with the family, and is such a sensitive identity as the royal family, their He family has made countless enemies in the capital now, how can they be reckless to let people know their close relationship with Ah Che.

What they have to do now is to protect themselves!

He spoke out about this concern, and He Zao bit his lower lip and did not make a sound.

It was a very lively event for the army to enter the city, and almost the whole city was dispatched.

It lasted for five days, and by the last day, He had already determined that Ah Che had not returned.

She suppressed the disappointment in her heart and cheered up to do things.

However, in the afternoon of this day, as soon as she had packed up and was about to go to the yoga club, a group of guards with knives came to her house, all wearing yellow belts around their waists, full of majesty, and they came in with a group of eunuchs.

And the one who was at the head held a holy decree in both hands.

He had seen this posture earlier, and when the eunuch led by him arrived in the courtyard, he shouted to the stunned group of people: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

No one thought that the He family would receive the holy decree in such a way.

He Zao was still dizzy until he sat in the small sedan chair with those guards and eunuchs.

He Zao didn't understand a lot of gorgeous rhetoric on the holy decree, but he understood the meaning, that is, she saved Zhu Yunche, the emperor's nephew, in Lujia Village a few years ago, so the emperor ordered her to enter the palace to receive the reward.

This is a very strange feeling, at least He Zao feels that he has experienced layers of disappointment, and now he suddenly hears such a thing, and his emotions are a little fluctuating.

Moreover, she didn't understand a little, it stands to reason that entering the palace to receive the reward should make the famous man in the family more decent, I don't know why the emperor announced that she was a girl like her.

Is it because Archer asked for it by name?

Thinking like this, He couldn't help but beat his heart faster.

She kept telling herself not to think about it.

Looking at the solemn guards outside the sedan chair, He Zao couldn't help but want to ask them for details, and sat quietly in the sedan chair.

The sedan chair went directly into the palace gate, and only when she arrived in front of a magnificent building did she come down and follow the eunuch headed by her to the main hall.

As soon as she wanted to look up at the situation around her, the eunuch scolded in a low voice: "Bow your head!" ”

He didn't dare to move for a long time, and his eyes were staring at his toes.

The rules in the palace are heavy, and she doesn't want to be charged with disrespect because of her recklessness.

Although the eunuch scolded her, and he didn't smile along the way, he was still friendly to her, and pointed at her in a low voice on the way to the door of the main hall: "Kneel down directly when you go in later, you can't look up if you don't look up, you have to think clearly when you reply, and you have to add a sentence back to Your Majesty!" Do you hear that? ”

He Zao was shocked, so to speak, it was the emperor himself who saw her.

She also thought that although it was the emperor's decree, there was a difference between men and women, and it would be the queen mother or queen in the palace to see her!

She raised her eyes and said sincerely, "Thank you!" Then he took off a pair of gold and jade bracelets from his hand and stuffed them into the eunuch's hand.

As soon as the decree was completed, the four treasures presented a purse, and in the purse was a stack of silver tickets, and now He Zao shot is a bracelet inlaid with gold and jade, as well as the reward of the young master, the eunuch is happy in his heart, and feels that this time the harvest is not small.

When he entered the main hall, the smile on the eunuch's face disappeared, and with twelve points of courtesy and caution, he bowed and walked to the front: "Back to Your Majesty, the second girl of the He family, He, is already waiting!" ”

He Zao stood at the door of the hall with bated breath, listening to the movement inside.

Until a faint, but very majestic voice came from inside: "Come in!" ”

She bowed her head and walked in small steps, took the five steps that the eunuch said, and knelt on the ground with a puff, and kowtowed sincerely: "Minnu He has already seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

In fact, she miscalculated, the floor in this hall was as smooth as a mirror, and she was afraid that if she hesitated, she would be charged with disrespect, so she used twelve points of strength to kowtow.

I only heard a bang, and the force was so great that it hurt just to hear it.

He Zao himself was dizzy because of his miscalculation.
