Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan lay on the chair, with fine cold sweat on her forehead. Soon she fell into a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the scorching sun. Just as she was about to speak, her throat felt hot and she shouted hoarsely, "Liu Wu, pour me a cup of hot water."

Liu Wu pushed open the door and saw the princess' pale face. His heart was so nervous that it felt like it was about to jump out. "Princess, why are you doing this? What if the prince sees this?"

Liu Yanyan waved her hand to stop him and pointed at the teapot.

Liu Wu then remembered that the princess wanted to drink water just now, so he picked up the teapot and walked to the princess' side, handing it to her, "Princess, please drink more. It was boiled this morning, and the temperature is just right."

Liu Yanyan frowned in disdain, but still raised her hand to take it. Seeing how stupid he was, she had no choice but to drink tea from this pot for the first time. After taking several sips, the burning sensation in her throat subsided a little. She looked at Liu Wu with disdain and said, "By the way, is the medicine I asked you to warm up ready?"

Liu Wu then said, "I will go get it now. Liu Liu has been guarding it all along."

Liu Yanyan rubbed her swollen forehead and watched Liu Wu leave. She endured the pain and ignored the buzzing sound in her ears until Liu Wu put the medicine bowl next to her. She subconsciously reached for it, but was burned by the bowl and had to withdraw her hand. Only then did she come to her senses and said angrily, "Leave! I'll call you later."

Liu Wu bowed respectfully and said, "I will take my leave."

Liu Yanyan watched Liu Wu retreat, then looked at the red marks on her fingers, stood up, put her hands in the copper basin, and took her hands out to dry them after a long time. "Oh, if Yuzhu and Yuzhen were here, it would be great. Why is Liu Wu so impatient? He brought it to me when it was so hot. It really hurts!" She walked to the table, used a spoon to cool the medicine, and then drank it in one gulp. Her brows were wrinkled with bitterness. She took out a candied fruit from her purse and oil paper bag and ate it before she felt better.

At this time, Liu Wu knocked on the door and said, "Princess, the yamen runner just brought an invitation from the eldest princess."

Liu Yanyan then walked over to open the door and said gloomily, "Give me the invitation! I will take care of it."

Liu Wu then stood aside.

Liu Yanyan looked at the gold-plated invitation in her heart, wondering why the eldest princess sent the invitation to the government office. Shouldn't it be sent to the Regent's Palace? Puzzled, she opened the invitation in her hand and couldn't help but wonder, "There is a tea party in 5 days, why did this invitation come to the government office?" Liu Yanyan put the invitation away, rubbed her sore neck, walked to the desk, wrote a reply to the princess, and handed it to Liu Wu next to her, "Take it out and pass it to the servant of the princess's mansion. Oh, and ask Liu Liu to get me some food."

Liu Wu bowed and said, "Slave, I'll go right away."

Liu Yanyan watched him leave, touched her hungry stomach, and couldn't help muttering, "If only Yuzhu and Yuzhen were here, these two guards are not considerate at all." She took her oil paper bag, ate another candied fruit, and waited quietly for Liu Liu to bring her meal.

Liu Liu didn't come, and he heard Liu Wu say, "Princess, the prince feels sorry for you and asked Butler Zhou to bring you food."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan said, "Let Butler Zhou come in!"

After paying his respects, Butler Zhou placed the vermilion food box on the ground, laid out the dishes one by one, and said respectfully, "Princess, the prince loves you so much that he asked the kitchen to prepare this for you yesterday. Even this soup stock has been simmered all night."

Liu Yanyan took the bowl of soup handed to her by Butler Zhou and drank a mouthful of hot soup. Only then did she feel better. "Thank you, Your Highness, for remembering me."

Butler Zhou smiled and said, "The prince loves you and takes your affairs to heart."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly, drank a bowl of soup, ate a small bowl of rice, and took a few bites of vegetables. When she was full, she waved her hand to signal Butler Zhou to remove the food.

When Butler Zhou saw this, a trace of worry appeared on his face. "Princess, please eat a few more bites. How can you bear eating so little?"

Liu Yanyan took a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "I can't eat anymore. Please take the food away! I have no appetite today."

Butler Zhou then put the food into the food boxes, bowed respectfully, and left the room.

Liu Yanyan watched Butler Zhou leave, stood up, walked to the window and opened it. A breeze blew by. She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead and looked at the hot sun outside. She felt a little dazed. Why was she still so cold even with such a strong sun?

At this moment, Wang Shuhui came over with a wry smile and said, "Greetings to the princess.

Liu Yanyan looked at Shuhui and said, "Shuhui, we are close friends. Why are you being so polite? Come in."

Wang Shuhui said, "Yanyan, I came to you because I have something urgent to do. Only you can help me."

Liu Yanyan walked out of the room anxiously, came to Shuhui, took her hand and said, "Shuhui, if you have something to say, just tell me, I'll give you some advice."

Wang Shuhui shook her head and smiled bitterly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. "My father wants to introduce me to someone else, but I don't want to get married at all. I think my life is good now."

Liu Yanyan pulled Shuhui into the house and pushed her onto a chair. "Talk slowly, don't cry!"

Wang Shuhui smiled bitterly, "I'm not crying, I just feel very upset. I don't know why the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince always come to visit Daddy. Daddy is just a minister, it's not worth it for the two princes to go to such trouble."

Liu Yanyan thought of the last life, when the emperor died half a year later. Now there might be some health problems, which the third and fifth princes found out about, so they hurriedly tried to win over the ministers in the court. "Shuhui, don't be afraid. Your father loves you so much that he will definitely not let you marry them. The minister claims to be a clean official, so he definitely doesn't want you to be someone's concubine."

Wang Shuhui smiled bitterly, "Dad didn't agree, so he hurried to introduce me to a girl. But I've never seen the shady tricks of that family in this government office! Whenever I think about getting married, I'm scared from the bottom of my heart. I don't want to get married."

Liu Yanyan patted her shoulder soothingly and said, "If not, you can find someone to get engaged first and postpone the wedding date. They can't do anything like forcibly taking someone else's wife."

Wang Shuhui shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The couples introduced to me either want a divorce, have health problems, or want me to remarry and raise a child. How can I delay it until next year? Besides, there's no point in delaying it for half a year."

Liu Yanyan picked up the hot tea that Liu Wu brought and said, "Drink some tea and calm down. Your father will definitely not let you suffer any injustice. You are an official, and if you want to be someone's concubine, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot. It's not so peaceful in the prince's mansion."

Wang Shuhui nodded. "Then what can I do to avoid this disaster?"

Liu Yanyan approached Shuhui and whispered in her ear.

Shuhui couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this. "Is this okay? Isn't this too bold?"

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "You don't want to get married again. In this case, no one can force you, but you're afraid you'll be wronged."
