Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

In the middle of the night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain

The main courtyard was still brightly lit, exuding a chilly atmosphere.

Yanyan, who was used to going to bed early, had not slept yet. She leaned on the couch with a restless mood, holding an embroidery needle, and absent-mindedly embroidered a handkerchief with a crooked bamboo on it.

Yanyan pricked her hand several times and then threw the handkerchief on the table.

Yuzhu brought the ointment and gently applied it on the princess's fingers. Looking at the red and swollen fingers, she said distressedly, "Princess, just let me embroider whatever you want. Why do you do it yourself? My fingers are swollen. How painful it is!"

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu, whose face was covered with tears, and said, "Don't cry, I'm just upset. Why are you crying? I'm not in pain. Don't cry. I won't embroider anymore, okay?"

Yuzhu stopped crying, took out the handkerchief and needle and thread, and brought a bowl of ginseng soup to the princess. "Princess, drink more soup. Don't catch a cold after getting caught in the rain today. It will be very uncomfortable if you catch a cold."

Liu Yanyan pushed the bowl away with a bitter face. Thinking that she had drunk several bowls of soup today, she had no appetite at all and did not drink the soup.

Looking up, she saw Zhou Yanze, wearing a black python robe and walking towards her with a cold face. She stood up worriedly, got off the couch and saluted, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Zhou Yanze took off his damp outer shirt and handed it to Butler Zhou. He gently helped Yanyan up and said, "Yanyan, you don't have to perform formalities anymore. Why didn't you get some rest so late? You used to go to bed early in the morning. When I entered the house, Butler Zhou said you were still waiting for me. I was so worried."

Seeing the water droplets on his hands, he quickly let go of Yanyan, took the handkerchief handed to him by Yuzhu, and wiped the rain off his hair and body.

Liu Yanyan looked at him, gently raised her hand to wipe the rain off his forehead and said, "I'm just worried! I went to the government office early in the morning, and they were all dark. When I asked them what happened, they didn't know. That's why I was worried, afraid that something big would happen. When I returned to the mansion, you didn't come back, and I was very worried."

Zhou Yanze sighed, grabbed Yanyan's hand, took the handkerchief and put it into his sleeve. "Last night, the second prince Zhou Shenbao drowned in the lotus pond and was tied up tightly. It rained heavily today, and the second prince's body was washed out. The palace maid who found it was scared crazy. The palace sounded the death knell, and the matter is still under investigation! I don't know who did it."

When Liu Yanyan heard this, she thought of the many mosquitoes in the lotus pond and got goose bumps on her hands. She couldn't help rubbing her hands vigorously. Fortunately, nothing happened to the emperor.

He muttered in his heart, this didn't happen in the previous life! How could this happen! Looking at Yan Ze, he said, "Who is responsible for the death of the second prince? He is so bold that he dared to kill an adult prince in the palace. The risk is too great. What can he get by killing the second prince? Whose way did the second prince block?"

Zhou Yanze pulled Yanyan to sit on the low couch, covered her with a thin blanket, and said seriously, "The Ministry of Justice is still investigating! The second prince is simple-minded, and everyone in the palace likes him. Who would harm him? We have no clue at the moment, so don't make random guesses or talk nonsense."

Liu Yanyan looked at Zhou Yanze and nodded gently, "I won't say anything. I don't even know who killed him, so how can I say anything? It's a pity that the Second Prince has a good reputation. The Emperor will definitely find out. Yanze, don't think about it. Drink this bowl of soup. I asked the kitchen to prepare it early in the morning to prevent you from catching a cold. Drink it."

Zhou Yanze thought of Yanyan's refusal of the ginseng soup just now, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took the ginseng soup and drank it in one gulp. He looked at Yanyan with emotion and said, "Yanyan, don't worry about me. Go to bed early! I'm very busy these days. You don't have to wait for me. I'll give it to you in the mansion. I'm relieved to leave it to you."

After saying that, he hugged Yanyan around his neck and breathed hard.

Liu Yanyan was hugged too tightly, so she pushed him away and said, "Okay, leave the mansion to me. I have given instructions. Concubine Li is also under the supervision of Nanny Wang, and Concubine Li is under the supervision of Nanny Wang. Nothing will go wrong."

Zhou Yanze then let go of his hand, took Yanyan's hand and said, "That's good, don't worry about me, I'll be fine, go to sleep! I still have to go to the Ministry of Justice. The situation in this palace! I'm afraid it's going to change drastically." After saying that, he hurried out.

Liu Yanyan saw him walking away, then she looked away, muttering in her heart, "Who did it? The eldest prince, the third prince, or the fifth prince? Apart from them, no one else would take such a big risk to kill a not-so-smart prince!"

I thought for a long time but still had no idea. My head felt swollen and I rubbed my forehead gently.

Yuzhu massaged the princess's forehead, "Princess, please go to sleep! Otherwise your body won't be able to bear it. It's already midnight. How can you bear not sleeping?"

Liu Yanyan looked out the window and saw no small raindrops. She said calmly, "It's been raining all day, and it hasn't gotten any lighter!"

Yuzhu said, "Princess, it's normal for it to rain on such a hot day! This year's rain is not as much as last year's! This is the only time this year there has been heavy rain."

Liu Yanyan stood up and walked to the window, stretched out her hand to catch the dripping rain, and seeing the rain explode in her hand, her originally restless heart calmed down. "Yuzhu, you go and have a rest! I'll be alone." She had to sort things out.

"Princess, let me accompany you! I am worried about you being like this. You look distracted."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu, nodded slightly, and sat upright on a pear wood chair wrapped in a plain dress.

I forced myself to recall some details of my past life that I had overlooked, for fear of missing out on something and failing miserably again.

In the previous life, the Second Prince was still alive until the Fifth Prince ascended the throne. How could he die suddenly? The sudden death of the Second Prince made everything seem like a mystery.

Yanyan felt panicked and felt that things were heading out of control.

Subconsciously, I took the hot tea that Yuzhu handed over, took a sip, and burned my tongue. Then I came to my senses and put down the teacup. "Yuzhu, next time, let the tea cool down before pouring it for me. It's too hot."

Yuzhu lowered her head in self-blame and put the cold water next to the princess. "Princess, it's all my fault. I will definitely wait until the tea is cool before pouring it for you next time."

Liu Yanyan had a mouthful of cold water in her mouth and spat it out into the copper basin. "It's okay. I was just too absorbed in thinking about things. It's not your fault. Please leave."

He took out an exquisite sapphire bronze mirror, saw that his tongue was only slightly red, and said, "You go to bed, and I will sleep too."

Yuzhu: "Princess, I will take care of you and let you go to bed."

Seeing her guilty look, Liu Yanyan nodded and agreed, "Okay, you serve me."

Walking into the inner room, Ren Yuzhu took off her clothes and then she lay down on the bed.

I don’t know if it was because I was distracted by the heat, I thought I would toss and turn all night, but I fell asleep hugging the quilt in a short while.

When Yuzhu saw that the princess was asleep, she let down the newly replaced plain gauze curtains, stood up, blew out the lights in the room, closed the windows, and then went outside to keep watch for the princess.
