Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

The sky is drizzling

Yuzhu and Yuzhen walked into the house in the drizzle, carrying a bowl of hot medicine.

Yuzhu wiped the rain off her forehead with a handkerchief, brought the medicine to the bedside, unbuttoned her coat, and gently stirred the medicine bowl. "Miss, this medicine is too hot. I will give you the medicine after it cools down." After saying that, she placed the medicine on the table next to her.

Butler Liu said helplessly, "The young lady can't hear you even if you say that. Do you have the lotus stem of the Tianshan Snow Lotus? Without the Tianshan Snow Lotus, this medicine is useless."

Yuzhu was so frightened that she trembled. "I forgot to call the doctor, what should I do, housekeeper Liu?"

When Butler Liu heard this, he was very angry and turned to look at Doctor He. "Doctor, what do you think we should do now? Should we boil the medicine again? Is it too late?"

Doctor He sighed, and touched the bowl wall. "Fortunately, we found it early. The medicine is still hot, so it won't have any effect." He took the wooden box and opened it, revealing the lotus stem of Tianshan Snow Lotus with white steam coming out of it. He picked up the lotus stem and broke it off, and put it into the medicine bowl. In a moment, the lotus stem melted into the medicine. "Okay, you can feed the medicine now. The temperature is just right, and it's the best time for the medicine to be effective."

Housekeeper Liu glanced at Yuzhu fiercely and said, "Help the young lady up, and I will give her medicine. How can you be so stupid?"

Yuzhu then nodded, carefully picked up the young lady and let her lean against her.

Butler Liu fed the medicine into the young lady's mouth spoonful by spoonful. Seeing the medicine flowing out from the corner of her mouth, he felt distressed and wiped it off with a handkerchief.

Finally, he pinched his nose and took the bowl to force himself to drink it. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the young lady's face turn red after drinking the medicine. "Yuzhu, hold the young lady and wait for her to calm down before putting her to sleep."

Yuzhu replied, "Okay, Butler Liu, I will take good care of the young lady."

The eldest princess next to her looked at this scene and smiled with relief, "It's good that you can drink the medicine. I feel much more relieved." After saying that, she drank the medicine that Yuzhen brought in one gulp with an expressionless face.

Butler Liu brought candied fruit to the table and said, "Princess, this is the young lady's favorite candied fruit. Try some so that the medicine won't be too bitter."

The eldest princess smiled bitterly, "Butler Liu, no need, I'm used to it. I've been taking medicine all year round, so this little bit of pain is nothing to me."

Housekeeper Liu nodded distressedly, looked at the pale princess and said, "Princess, I have arranged a yard for you next door. It has been cleaned up. Our young lady is in a stable condition now, so you don't have to worry. I will take you there to rest. I will ask the kitchen to make some warm and nourishing medicinal food for you so that you can replenish your body."

The eldest princess nodded weakly and said, "Okay, I will come to see Yanyan tomorrow. I will go over and rest today. You guys take good care of her." After saying that, Yuzhen, who was serving beside her, helped the princess walk to the yard next to her.

Butler Liu heaved a sigh of relief after watching the eldest princess leave. He finally stood up straighter and looked at the young lady worriedly, "Why hasn't the master come back yet? It's been so long."

Liu Liu said, "The servant reported that the master was playing chess with the emperor in the palace. The emperor was very angry when he learned that the eldest princess was assassinated. He has sent the Ministry of Justice to investigate this assassination. The master just went to the Ministry of Justice and should be returning home soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Liu ran in breathlessly. Looking at the unconscious Nannan, his eyes turned red with anger. "How did Nannan become like this? Didn't she have people protecting her? How could she still be like this? How did you protect her?"

Butler Liu lowered his head and said, "I was waiting for the young lady in the mansion when I saw fireworks exploding outside the mansion. I rushed out with my guards holding a knife. By the time we had chopped down the people and split the carriage, the young lady was already injured. She fainted as soon as she entered the mansion. The mansion doctor has just detoxified her, but she is still in a coma."

Duke Liu sat on the chair and looked at Liu Liu unkindly. "Tell me, what happened? Why was Nannan with the princess and was assassinated? Shouldn't Nannan stay in the government office?"

Liu Liu knelt down with a plop. "Today, Zhang took the young lady to the Grand Princess's residence. Seeing that the princess was weak and looked abnormal, the young lady pretended that there was a banquet to celebrate and brought the princess out. She was assassinated outside the residence. We tried our best to protect the young lady, but she was shot by an arrow and fell into a coma while setting off fireworks. The Grand Princess was also found to have been poisoned by a chronic poison. Please punish me, sir. I failed to protect the young lady and I am willing to accept the punishment."

Manager Zhang was at the back and subconsciously took a few steps back, trying to shrink back as much as possible for fear of being noticed.

Duke Liu looked at Liu Liu and sighed, "Get up. This is not your fault. You have done your best. Go back and have a rest." Then he said with a fierce look in his eyes, "Let half of the guards in the mansion follow me to the princess' mansion to arrest people."

Butler Liu said in surprise, "My Lord, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"

"It's okay. His Majesty was furious and asked the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation. He has agreed to let me take responsibility. This is all other matters." After saying this, he took half of the guards in the palace and rode towards the princess's palace with swords in hand.

When the pedestrians on the road saw this, they all gave way and said, "Is this Duke's Mansion crazy? Aren't they afraid of being arrested?"

"The Duke must be furious. Lord Liu was assassinated today, right in front of the Duke's Mansion. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Duke?"

"So arrogant! This Duke loves his daughter the most. Isn't this stirring up a hornet's nest?"

"I don't know. Those who dare to assassinate the Duke's Mansion are probably not something we can discuss. Let's not talk about it."

"Tell me what happened. They went so far away and heard what we said."

As soon as Duke Liu saw the plaque of the Princess's Mansion, he ordered the guards to "surround the Princess's Mansion. No one is allowed to escape. If you escape, I will use your heads to hit you."

Several guards responded in unison: "Yes"

The people in the princess's mansion were so frightened that they dared not make a sound. They retreated with their heads tucked in and closed the vermilion door.

A concubine said, "What's going on? How dare you? Where's your husband? Go find him!"

"I don't know. I haven't seen the prince consort since early this morning. Maybe he went to pick up the princess."

"This shouldn't be the case. When did the prince consort become so concerned about the princess?"

"Where are the prince consorts? Why are they surrounding the princess's mansion?"

"I don't know. I just went to the main courtyard to look for him, but I couldn't find the prince consort."

"Go find him. How can we speak in front of the Duke? We have to find the Prince Consort."

"Go find him, go find him, find the Prince Consort, or we're done for."

At the gate of the princess's mansion, Duke Liu was riding on a horse, holding a long sword, staring at the princess's mansion fiercely, like a man-eating beast staring at its prey.

At this time, several guards came over dragging a servant. "My Lord, this servant tried to escape through the back door, but we caught him. What do you think we should do with him?"

Duke Liu looked at the tender-skinned servant and sneered, "Tied him up and blocked his way."
