Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

late at night

Liu Yanyan was just about to take off her clothes when she heard Zhou Yanze striding in and handing his coat to Butler Zhou.

Yanyan waved away Yuzhu who was about to change her clothes, stood up and walked out. When she saw Zhou Yanze, she turned sideways and saluted, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Zhou Yanze helped Yanyan get up, looking exhausted, "Yanyan, don't wait for me, I've been too busy these few days. By the way, how is Concubine Li's condition? Is it getting better?"

Yanyan shook her head gently. "When I went there, several imperial doctors were kneeling. Concubine Li was unwilling to use medicine. Instead, she liked Sister Li very much and wanted to keep Sister Li to take care of her. Sister Li happily agreed, so I left first. Who knew that Sister Li ran out before I left the palace? I'm afraid she was wronged."

Zhou Yanze asked in confusion, "Didn't I ask you to go just for the formality? Why did she agree to stay and take care of me? I clearly remembered telling her so! Why did she stay and run away halfway through taking care of me?"

Liu Yan's eyes flashed with teasing, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "I don't know about that. Sister Li seems to like Concubine Li very much. Maybe she wants to get along well with Concubine Li."

Zhou Yanze held Yanyan's hand and said impatiently, "She likes it, so let her like it! Why did she run away in the end? Isn't this a joke? Now that the second prince has drowned, it's a sensitive time. If she makes a fuss like this, how will others talk about it!"

Seeing him like this, Liu Yanyan gently pulled her hand away and said, "I can't do anything about this. Concubine Li asked me, and I was going to refuse politely, but Sister Li agreed immediately. I thought I couldn't just take her away, so I told her to stay and send someone to pick her up in a few days. Who knew she would run away?"

"Yanyan, you don't have to explain. I will ask her directly to see what she really thinks."

Liu Yanyan nodded and asked worriedly, "Yan Ze, have you found any clues about the second prince's drowning? Concubine Li is so angry that her face is pale."

Zhou Yanze picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and sighed bitterly, "Now the clues are gone. We had some clues at first, but later we found out that they were from the eunuch Xiao Hu who was beside the second prince. When we tried our best to find Xiao Hu, we found that Xiao Hu had drowned in the well of the cold palace early in the morning. His death was miserable, as if he was thrown in on purpose."

Liu Yanyan frowned slightly. "Now all the clues are gone. How can I explain this to the Emperor? I'm afraid the Emperor won't be kind. The Emperor still likes the Second Prince very much."

"The Emperor said that we must get to the bottom of this matter and get to the bottom of it. We must not let the Second Prince die in vain."

Liu Yanyan pushed a plate of soft and sticky pastries over and placed it next to Zhou Yanze. "Guess who did this! Who would benefit from killing the stupid Second Prince? I really can't imagine who would be so vicious."

"I'm still investigating. I feel that the First Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince are not stupid people. They shouldn't kill him. After all, the Second Prince can't stand in their way. Who is it?"

Yanyan was puzzled, "Who could it be? Who has the courage and power to kill the second prince in the palace without anyone noticing?"

Zhou Yanze shook his head slightly, picked up the pastry and took a bite. "Don't think about it, I will find out, don't let your imagination run wild. By the way, Yanyan, I originally wanted to collect evidence of the crimes of the First Prince and the Fifth Prince's forces, and wanted to destroy their forces, but now is too sensitive, I'm afraid it will take some time. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position, I will definitely give you an explanation later."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently, leaned in his arms, and listened to his heartbeat. "I'm not wronged. Now is indeed not the time to bring it up."

Zhou Yanze touched Yanyan's hair and said tenderly, "Yanyan, I hope you can understand. I swear, I will avenge you in the future and will not let them have an easy time..."

Yanyan raised her hand to cover his mouth and said, "No need to swear, I believe you."

Zhou Yanze was moved and took Yanyan's hand, kissing her hair. "Yanyan, go to sleep first. I'm going back now. I have to investigate the case early tomorrow morning."

Liu Yanyan nodded gently, stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, I will send you off."

Zhou Yanze helped Yanyan up, gently touched her hair, and said, "Yanyan, no need to be so polite."

Yanyan raised her eyes, looked at the tenderness and tenderness in his eyes, and sighed that he was always like this, making it impossible to hate him. When she saw him walking away, she turned around and went back to the house.

Yuzhu said indignantly, "Princess, why didn't the prince stay overnight? He must have been seduced by the seductress in the mansion. Why aren't you angry?"

Liu Yanyan said lightly, "Don't talk nonsense, the prince has his plans." Being pregnant at this time is not a good thing.

Liuyan Pavilion

Zhou Yanze sat upright in the main seat, drinking tea quietly, staring coldly at Concubine Li.

Concubine Li was wearing a light pink dress and kneeling on the ground, revealing her white neck and slender arms.

Zhou Yanze put down the teacup and said coldly, "Who allowed you to dress like this? Are you so happy that the second prince drowned? It's either red or pink."

Concubine Li's face turned pale, and she climbed up the prince's leg. "Prince, I just didn't think too much. No one else in the room could see me. I just missed you."

Zhou Yanze withdrew his gaze in disgust and said calmly, "Put on your clothes and go to Concubine Li's palace tomorrow to apologize to Concubine Li."

Concubine Li let go of her hand, straightened her clothes, and said pitifully, "Master, can I not go? Concubine Li is deliberately making things difficult for me. The wound on my hand was caused by her." After saying that, she raised her red hand and placed it in front of the master.

Zhou Yanze pushed her hand away in disgust. "The princess asked you to make your own choice. Didn't you agree to serve Concubine Li? Why are you saying you were burned now? Look, there are only a few red marks. Who are you going to explain to? How are you going to explain to the emperor? Or are you going to explain to the emperor that you don't want to serve Concubine Li?"

Concubine Li collapsed on the ground, crying pitifully, "Master, I didn't do that. I just didn't expect it to be like this. I was just too scared, so I ran away."

Zhou Yanze said coldly, "Kneel down and reflect on your sins! Go to the palace to make amends tomorrow morning."

Concubine Li stammered, "Master, can you let the princess accompany me? I'm scared to go alone." In case she was tortured, the princess would be there to protect her.

Zhou Yanze said coldly, "You can just take your maid with you. Why can't you just embarrass yourself? Do you want the entire palace to be embarrassed with you?" He pulled open the gauze curtain and walked out.

Concubine Li looked at the prince's back as he left, and couldn't stop crying, "Master, how can you be so cruel! I have been tortured like this, and you don't feel sorry for me."

Nanny Kang was standing outside the house. When she heard Concubine Li crying sadly, she raised her lips with a smug smile and said silently, "You deserve it, you slut. Aren't you a slut? I'll let you be a slut to the end."
