Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Early next morning

Liu Yanyan, wearing a red official uniform and official boots, walked out of the main courtyard and saw Concubine Li and her maid waiting at the gate of the main courtyard in a proper manner.

Concubine Li bowed respectfully and said, "I pay my respects to the princess."

Liu Yanyan saw Aunt Kang behind her and smiled knowingly, "Sister Li, please get up. You came too early today. I have to go to the government office now, so I won't chat with you. Sister Li, please go back first."

Concubine Li then stood up and said through gritted teeth, "I dare not delay Sister Princess's business, so I will respectfully see you off here."

Seeing Concubine Li being so well-behaved, Liu Yanyan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you guys go back." After that, Ren Yuzhu supported her and walked out.

After Yuzhu walked away, she said as if she had seen a ghost, "Princess, this concubine must be possessed. Why is she here outside the main courtyard to set rules so early in the morning? Doesn't she usually not come here? She looks creepy."

Liu Yanyan smiled faintly, "There are many ways to torture people in this palace! This Aunt Kang doesn't look like a good person! Didn't you notice that He Baoer, the maidservant, was kneeling behind us?"

"In the mansion, only Concubine Li is pregnant. She has not been dragged to set rules. This Madam Kang is a man with means. I don't know what means she used to make them behave so well in one day."

Yuzhu shuddered unconsciously. "Fortunately, she is not in charge of the main courtyard. This is too strict. I am scared just thinking about it."

Liu Yanyan nodded and said, "She doesn't care about the rules of the main courtyard, but you should also learn the rules of the courtyard when you go back, so as not to make a fool of yourself and be laughed at by others."

"Okay, Princess. I'll do it when I get back. I'll make sure the maids in the courtyard remember the rules and don't embarrass you."

After Liu Yanyan got on the carriage, she took the food box handed to her by Yuzhen and said, "You guys go back. Just take care of the main courtyard for me and don't let anyone take advantage of it."

Seeing Yuzhu, Yuzhen made repeated assurances before lowering the curtain and leaning back on the pillow.

I muttered to myself, "If I had known that asking Madam Xi for advice would be helpful, I should have asked her earlier. I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let them have an easy life. I shouldn't have let them forget the rules and get into trouble all day long."

Before we reached the yamen, it started raining heavily outside.

Liu Yanyan smelled the hot and damp earthy smell of the road surface wet by the rain outside, and couldn't help but frowning, covering her nose in disgust, full of disgust.

Liu Wu said, "Princess, please bear with me. We will be at the government office soon. Guards have already gone to the government office to get paper umbrellas. Don't worry, Princess. We will definitely not let you catch a cold."

Liu Yanyan said softly, "Okay, be careful not to drive the carriage too fast, so as not to hit the children on the road who are trying to hide from the rain. It would be bad if it hit the children."

Liu Wu then retracted the whip he was about to whip down, and tried to see the road clearly through the rain. "Okay, Princess, I will pay attention."

Seeing that the car had slowed down, Liu Yanyan lowered the car curtain with confidence, not wanting to worry about the heavy rain outside anymore.

By the time we arrived at the yamen, the rain was getting heavier.

He took the raincoat handed to him by Liu Wu and put it on, then slowly got off the carriage, let the guards holding oil-paper umbrellas escort him into the yamen, and went back into the house to take off the raincoat.

Seeing the guards who were protecting him, all of them were wet, he took out a silver note and handed it to Liu Wu.

"Go to the backyard and ask Zhang and the others if they have any dry clothes. Change your clothes. It will be bad if you catch a cold."

Liu Wu took the banknote and bowed, "Thank you, Princess, for your consideration. I will arrange it right away."

Seeing Liu Wu walk out, he picked up his handkerchief and wiped the rain that splashed on his body. Looking at the rain that was not getting any smaller, he couldn't help but mutter, "This rain is too heavy. My clothes are all wet."

Liu Yanyan, who was reading the files, saw Zhang the Chief coming over in mourning clothes and frowned unhappily, "Master Zhang, what happened? Why are you dressed like this? This is not appropriate in the government office!"

Lord Zhang took out a piece of white cloth from behind and handed it to her. "Princess, please put it on first! On the way here, I heard a few funeral bells ringing in the palace. I don't know who has been in trouble. The government has already started to prepare."

Liu Yanyan took the white cloth and saw the yamen runners outside taking down all the festive items in the yamen. Only then did she believe that something had happened. She took the white cloth from Mr. Zhang and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

When Lord Zhang saw the princess accept it, he bowed and said, "I will leave first. Please change into mourning clothes."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand and watched Lord Zhang walk away. Then she walked to the clothes rack, took down a set of blue clothes, changed out of her red official uniform, and tied a thin white cloth strip on her cuffs.

Liu Wu and several guards came over in black clothes, looking nervous, "Princess, what are you doing?"

Liu Yanyan took off her straw raincoat, put it on, looked at the others and said, "Put on your straw raincoat and go back to the mansion. We can't let any trouble happen in the mansion at this time. We must keep a close eye on it." After that, she handed her official uniform to Liu Wu and asked him to put it away. "Let's go."

Yanyan walked out in the heavy rain, with a serious look on her face. "Send someone to tell Dad."

Liu Wu replied, "Yes, Princess. I will send someone right away."

Regent's House

As soon as Liu Yanyan got off the carriage, she saw the red lanterns at the door still swaying. She walked to the door and said to the servants who were bowing, "Take down the red lanterns at the door and ask Butler Zhou to come to the main courtyard."

After saying that, he walked towards the main courtyard in the rain.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Yuzhu was talking to the little maid in the yard.

Several people were startled when they heard the voice. "This servant greets the princess."

Liu Yanyan waved her hand to signal everyone to stand up, and Ren Yuzhu took off her raincoat.

"Change all the bright colors on your clothes, and put away all the red and bright-colored things in the house."

Yuzhu looked at the white cloth on the princess' body and said, "Princess, what happened? Why did you come back in such a hurry? It's still raining outside!"

Liu Yanyan: "I'm not sure. The government office is already dark. I heard something happened in the palace. I'd better put away the bright clothes."

Just after taking a few sips of tea, Butler Zhou came in the rain and said, "Your servant greets the princess."

Liu Yanyan looked at Housekeeper Zhou and said, "Put away all the bright and red things in the house. From today on, no one in the house can wear clothes with festive colors, so as not to violate taboos."

"Send someone to find out who in the palace has had an accident and why no news has leaked out, and to see where the master is now."

When Butler Zhou saw the princess was covered in a white cloth, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Princess, I will do it right away. I guarantee there will be no mistakes. Don't worry."

Seeing that Butler Zhou had left, he asked, "Has the person who went to the Duke's Mansion to report the news returned?"

Liu Wu cupped his hands and said, "Princess, the rain is so heavy that we haven't seen each other yet."

"If he still hasn't returned later, take people out to look for him, and then send someone to report the news. We must not make any mistakes."

Liu Wu bowed respectfully and said, "Okay, Princess. I will definitely do it and won't let you worry."

Liu Yanyan then waved her hand to signal Liu Wu to leave, and stared at the rain outside in a daze.
