Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan took out the divorce certificate from her sleeve and looked at the red cinnabar seal on it. Her heart was filled with bitterness. She couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of her past self. After getting on the carriage, her eyes never left the divorce certificate. She kept her eyes lowered all the way and said nothing.

The carriage swayed slowly until it arrived at the gate of the Regent's Palace, where Butler Zhou came to greet it.

Liu Yanyan was helped down from the carriage by Yuzhu. She ignored the steward Zhou who was waiting beside her, and ignored his hesitation to speak. She walked straight inside. Unexpectedly, she met the seriously ill concubine Li in the garden.

When Concubine Li saw the princess, she was panicked. After she came to her senses, she hurriedly bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the princess."

Liu Yanyan looked at the gorgeously dressed and rosy-faced concubine Li and nodded gently, "Get up! You must be well now! Why did you come all the way to the garden? Why don't you take a rest?"

Concubine Li raised her hands to cover her face, coughed softly twice, and said, "I am much better now. Thank you for your concern, Princess. I will go back right away. I will go back right away." After saying this, she walked back in a panic.

Yuzhu looked at Concubine Li walking away and said with disdain, "Princess, she is probably here to seduce the prince. Why did you let her go like this? You must punish her severely and let her know her position."

Liu Yanyan put her hand on Yuzhu's, walked inside, and said lightly, "Yuzhu, shut up and don't talk nonsense. What if it gets out? This is not the Duke's Mansion, this is the Regent's Mansion. You don't have to pay attention to her. After all, she is the prince's concubine. It is natural for her to want to attract the prince's attention. It will be fine as long as it's not excessive." After saying that, she glanced vaguely at the corner of clothes behind the door.

Liu Yanyan returned to the main courtyard, feeling the coolness of the ice cubes, and sat upright on the pearwood chair. She said to Yuzhu, "Go prepare something light. I haven't had a good appetite these past two days, so I want to eat something light."

Yuzhu bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, Princess. I will be right there." Then she stood up and left.

Liu Yanyan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar house, feeling very uncomfortable and indescribably lost. After a long time, she raised her delicate hands and just wiped away her tears.

Yuzhu took the maid and set the table. Seeing the princess's eyes slightly red, she said softly, "Princess, you can eat now." Then she handed her the handkerchief.

Liu Yanyan looked up at Yuzhu and took the handkerchief, hiding her emotions, walked to the table, sat upright on the pearwood chair, and said, "How come it's ready so quickly? The chef cooked very quickly today!"

Yuzhu smiled brightly and said softly to the princess, "This is what the prince ordered early in the morning. I'll go over there and find that the kitchen has prepared everything. Please try it. This is what the prince specially ordered the kitchen to prepare for you. Concubine Li doesn't have any! I heard that she was so angry that she smashed several teacups!"

Liu Yanyan's eyes were slightly warm, and she looked unconcerned. She looked at the green and refreshing dishes on the table and nodded gently, "Give me a bowl of rice wine dumplings. I haven't eaten well these two days, and my stomach is empty and uncomfortable. Also, give me some of these fresh side dishes."

Yuzhu picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl, scooped out the rice dumplings with wine, and held it in front of the princess with both hands, "Princess, please have your meal."

Liu Yanyan took the blue and white porcelain bowl and gently stirred the dumplings, eating them in small bites. She finished the whole bowl of dumplings, which was a rare occasion. She picked up the green cabbage in front and took a bite, then ate a piece of tender tofu fried in chicken oil, and drank a bowl of milky white broth. Only then did she put down the bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.

Liu Yanyan took the teacup handed to her by Yuzhen, took a sip, spit into the spittoon, took the new silk handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then stood up to digest the food.

Liu Yanyan walked on the corridor, feeling the hot sun shining on her skin. She couldn't help but think of the crowd just now. They were like crazy, rushing to get blood, steamed buns, just to cure the disease! As a princess, this identity is not good. She asked the clinic to provide free medical treatment. This kind of thing can only be done by His Majesty.

Liu Yanyan looked at Liu Liu beside her and said, "Go and have a look. There are a few people whose family members are sick. There is really no other way. Throw some loose change to them. Don't let anyone see it. This kind of thing can only be done quietly."

Liu Liu knelt down, his eyes slightly red, and his voice choked with sobs, "Princess, I will go right away and make sure everything is done for you."

Liu Yanyan looked up at the azure sky and waved her hand gently, signaling him to leave. Then she continued to stroll along the corridor, muttering to herself, "Although this can't cure the problem, at least it can help."

Cool at night

Liu Yanyan ordered Yuzhu, "Go get a copper basin! I promised Li Mei, so I have to do it."

Yuzhu replied, "Yes, Princess, I will prepare it right away."

Liu Yanyan stood at the door, looking at the plum tree outside, her heart filled with sadness. She looked at Yuzhu, and then she turned back to look at Yuzhu when Yuzhen came over holding a dim lantern and a copper basin.

Yuzhu stepped forward and said with concern, "Princess, why are you standing here in the wind? I can help you burn the fever. What if you catch a cold? Li Mei, it's not worth your concern."

Yuzhen was also distressed, "Princess, please go back to your room first!"

Liu Yanyan shook her head slightly and frowned, "I'd better cook it myself. I've already promised, so I can't go back on my word."

Yuzhu then handed the lantern and copper basin to Yuzhen and went forward to support the princess.

Liu Yanyan was supported by Yuzhu and walked out. She stopped under the plum tree and took out the divorce papers from her sleeve.

Yuzhen squatted down and put the copper basin away, took the white paper money, lit it with a fire stick, and then turned around and said, "Princess, you can throw in the divorce letter."

Liu Yanyan had a serious face. She squatted down next to the copper basin, took out the divorce letter from her sleeve and put it on the fire. She watched the fire devour the divorce letter bit by bit, emitting a blue light. She muttered to herself, "Li Mei, let's go! You've suffered too much. Reincarnate into a better family in your next life. Don't suffer like this. Forget everything now and start over. When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. Everything is over."

The candle flame crackled twice as if in response, and a tear slid down the corner of Liu Yanyan's eye, looking sad and beautiful.

A breeze blew by, and a green leaf drew a perfect arc in the air and fell into the copper basin, making a crackling sound even louder.

Liu Yanyan watched the divorce agreement burn to the end before she slowly stood up and looked at Yuzhen and said, "Burn all the paper money in your hand! It will make her life easier in the afterlife." After she finished speaking, the sparks were swept away by the whirlwind, as if she was saying goodbye.

Yuzhu looked at the copper basin, helped the princess back away and said, "Princess, let's go back to the house! Just leave this to Yuzhen."

Liu Yanyan looked at the spinning flames for a long time before she nodded gently. She turned back to the house, sat in front of the dressing table, and let Yuzhu take off the hairpin on her head.

Yuzhu praised as she combed her hair, "Princess, your hair is so beautiful, it's getting better and better."

Liu Yanyan looked at her black hair and said calmly, "Well, if you use more Polygonum multiflorum, your hair will get better."

Yuzhu looked envious as she combed the princess' hair carefully, starting from the ends and working her way toward the roots. Liu Yanyan nodded in satisfaction.
