Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

The rainstorm is coming to an end

Zhou Yanze insisted on getting up. Liu Yanyan had no choice but to support him and cover him with a thin blanket. The servant held up an oil-paper umbrella to block the way, and the group walked towards the carriage at the yamen gate.

Several guards, servants, and yamen runners were all holding knives and were on high alert, surrounding the two of them. After Liu Yanyan helped Yan Ze get on the carriage, the carriage swayed all the way to the Regent's Palace.

Just as she reached the corner, Liu Yanyan heard the faint sound of horse hooves. She nervously lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. "Yan Ze, could it be that the assassin is coming again? You better hide." After saying that, she took the dagger in her hand.

Zhou Yanze took Yanyan's hand and said gently and tenderly, "No, it's the guards from the mansion who are here. You don't need to be nervous."

Liu Yanyan felt relieved, but she still held the dagger tightly in her hand. "How do you know it's a guard? I don't believe it."

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Liu Yanyan nodded and looked outside. She saw a group of palace guards rushing over. They were dressed in black armor and rode on horses. They all knelt down in front of the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, I am late. Please punish me."

Zhou Yanze's cold voice sounded, "Get up! Go back home first."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan put down the curtain in her hand, put away the short knife and put it in her official boots. "Yan Ze, he is really a guard in the mansion! How could you tell? Yan Ze is so powerful!"

Zhou Yanze chuckled, "I'm with them every day. If I can't even hear the sound of horse hooves, it will be terrible! Yanyan, relax a little. With them here, no assassin dares to come."

Liu Yanyan focused on the sound of horse hooves. After listening for a long time, she frowned and said, "What's the difference? It's just the sound of horse hooves hitting the bluestone slabs. There's no difference at all!"

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan and chuckled, "Okay, okay, you can't hear the difference, but there is still a big difference. Besides, there can't be so many assassins at once! Yanyan, just don't worry."

Liu Yanyan looked outside and the guards who surrounded the carriage nodded, "Indeed, Yanze, you should rest in the carriage! It's still a long time before we get back! Have a good sleep." After saying that, she took out a pillow and placed it behind his waist.

Zhou Yanze was indeed a little tired, so he leaned back on the pillow and closed his eyes to rest.

Liu Yanyan covered him with a quilt and felt more at ease looking at the guards outside. She also felt less nervous looking at the dark night. No accidents happened along the way and she returned to the Regent's Palace smoothly.

Liu Yanyan helped Yanze into the mansion, and Concubine Li and Concubine Li came running over crying.

Concubine Li cried heartbrokenly, "Master, how are you? Master, you can't get into trouble! Master, Master, if something happens to you, what will I do alone? Master! You can't leave me alone!"

Concubine Li also cried pitifully, "Master, you can't be in trouble! Otherwise, how will Li'er live! Master, Li'er, I'm worried about you! Master, Li'er is so worried about you!"

When Concubine Li saw that the prince did not reply, she was about to pounce on him.

Liu Yanyan, who was supporting Yan Ze, had a helpless look on her face. She said coldly, "My master is fine, why are you crying? Don't come close to me. Can't you see that you are about to touch my wound? If you come close to me, my wound will split open."

Zhou Yanze also said in a cold voice, "Go back to your courtyard. Concubine Li, aren't you under house arrest? Why did you come out? Who told you to come out? Concubine Li, aren't you injured on your feet? Why are you running out crying? I'm not dead yet! Get out, get out, all of you."

Concubine Li then stepped aside with grievance and cried extremely aggrievedly, "Master, I am worried about you. I hope you are okay. I will go back soon." After paying her respects, she left, protecting her belly.

When Concubine Li saw Concubine Li leave, she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand and said, "I am worried about you, Master. I didn't intend to offend you, but I am worried about you."

Seeing that she was about to cry again, Zhou Yanze waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go back. I have the princess to take care of me. It's unlucky for you to cry!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li was so angry that she bowed and took her leave, "I'm leaving." When she turned around, she glared at the princess who was supporting the prince, and then left.

Liu Yanyan was glared at, she was confused, it wasn't me who asked you to leave, why are you glaring at me? Looking at the injured prince, she still endured it and said, "I will take the prince back to his room."

Zhou Yanze lost his coldness and said gently, "Okay, thank you Yanyan. You have worked hard to take care of me all the way."

Liu Yanyan supported Zhou Yanze and walked all the way to his room. This was her first time in his room. Looking at the black and gold decorations, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Who would like such a black color? Liu Yanyan helped Zhou Yanze to the chair, only to find that the room was full of golden nanmu furniture. Upon closer inspection, the whole room was made of golden nanmu. She couldn't help but be surprised. This room looked very expensive.

Zhou Yanze looked at the surprise in Yanyan's eyes and said, "Yanyan likes it. I will arrange a room like this for you. It's quite nice to live in this room."

Liu Yanyan hurriedly shook her head. She couldn't accept the thought of living in such a dark room every day. "Yan Ze, no need. My own room is great. I don't need a room like this."

Zhou Yanze did not force her, and smiled lightly, "Whatever Yanyan likes is fine, as long as Yanyan is happy. If Yanyan likes something in the future, just tell me and I will arrange it for her."

At this time, the housekeeper Zhou, who had been worried for a long time, came over and looked at the prince's pale face with distress and said, "Prince, what happened to you? The servant who came back to report the news couldn't explain it clearly. I have been worried about you all the time."

Zhou Yanze looked at Butler Zhou coldly and said, "I was just going to pick up Yanyan, and suddenly someone assassinated her. Did you arrange for someone to investigate? What did they find out?"

Butler Zhou replied respectfully, "I have already arranged for someone to investigate, but he has not returned yet and there is no clue."

Zhou Yanze nodded gently and said, "Ask the kitchen to bring some food. The princess and I haven't eaten yet. The princess must be hungry."

Liu Yanyan wanted to refuse, but when she thought of his gentleness, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. It’s not impossible to just have a meal together!

Soon, Butler Zhou and his maid brought the dinner, arranged it one by one, served the rice, and placed it next to the two.

Liu Yanyan was about to feed Yan Ze the food when she realized that he was holding the chopsticks steadily in his left hand. "Yan Ze, Yan Ze, why are you using your left hand!"

Zhou Yanze smiled faintly, "Yanyan, eat by yourself. I can take care of myself. Don't worry about me. I can hold chopsticks with both hands, but I always use my right hand."

Liu Yanyan then nodded, drank her soup slowly, ate in small sips, and glanced at Zhou Yanze from time to time to see if he needed any help.

After they finished their meal, Yanyan returned to the main courtyard with the help of Yuzhu and Yuzhen.

When Zhou Yanze saw Yanyan leave, he hurriedly moved his right hand. After a while, he felt much better.
