Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Regent's House

Liu Yanyan let Yuzhu support her as she walked towards the mansion. In the garden, she ran into He Tongfang, who was wearing a semi-transparent white gauze dress. She was standing in the pavilion looking out. She couldn't help but frown, "Yuzhen, go and ask He Tongfang to go back to her room, so that she won't be embarrassed. There are so many maids and servants looking at her, aren't they ashamed?"

Upon hearing this, Yuzhen took a few steps forward and stood in front of He Tongfang, blocking the servant's gaze. "Master He, the princess asks you to go back to your room. It is really immoral for you to stay here like this. Change your clothes and come back to enjoy the flowers."

He Tongfang calculated the time in her mind, knowing that the prince would be here soon, and was unwilling to leave. "Go away, you are blocking me, how can the prince see me? This is the result of my dressing up all morning."

Yuzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Master He, the princess asks you to go back."

He Tongfang looked up and saw that it was getting late. The prince was about to come back, so she angrily pushed away Yuzhen who was blocking her way.

Yuzhen fell down the stairs and had wounds on her forehead and hands.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan stepped forward to help Yuzhen up. Seeing that her forehead was bruised and her hands were covered in blood, she took a few steps forward and said angrily, "He Tongfang, you are so bold that you even dare to hit the maid next to me. You really don't take me seriously."

At this time, He Tongfang suddenly came closer, and rolled down from the stone steps of the pavilion, crying pitifully, "Sister Princess, how could you push me? I know I am humble, but I am also the prince's! How can you humiliate me like this, sister Princess?"

Seeing her acting so abnormal, Liu Yanyan knew that Zhou Yanze must be nearby. Sure enough, she caught a glimpse of a piece of black clothes at the garden gate. She walked a few steps closer, grabbed He Tongfang's collar, and pulled her up. "You said I pushed you? OK, OK, OK..."

He Tongfang cried pitifully and said, "Sister Princess, I don't blame you. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have come out to bother you. I'll go back now. I shouldn't have come out to bother you."

Liu Yanyan grabbed her and said coldly, "Oh, you hit my people and then you wrongly accused me of pushing people. Do you want to run away now?"

He Tongfang turned her head and showed a pitiful look to the garden gate, "Sister Princess, how could I possibly push your maid? Sister, you are wronging me. I will not live any longer."

Seeing her hypocritical look, Liu Yanyan sneered and slapped her in the face with all her strength, "Oh, since you don't want to live, go and die. Look carefully, this is how I hit you. Do I need a reason to hit a concubine like you? You really think too highly of yourself."

He Tongfang covered her swollen face with a look of disbelief, and said pitifully, "Sister Princess, how could you hit me for a maid? I am the prince's person after all, how dare you, Sister Princess?"

Seeing that she was still stubborn, Liu Yanyan was so angry that she slapped her in the face again. "I am the princess, why can't I hit you? Aren't you just a maid? Yuzhen is still a person who has face in front of me. Who are you? I even hate you for washing my feet."

After saying that, he pushed He Tongfang away and said to the maid next to him, "Take her back and lock her up in the yard. Don't come out in clothes like this anymore. She's disgusting."

He Tongfang looked at the garden gate with a hopeless look. Seeing that the prince had not come in for a long time, she lowered her head with a look of resentment and was dragged to the backyard by several maids.

Liu Yanyan let Yuzhu support her as she walked towards the main courtyard. She ignored Zhou Yanze who was hiding at the garden gate, went back into the house, took off her coat, and said to Yuzhen, "Yuzhen, I'm sorry for putting you through this today." She then threw a bottle of ointment to Yuzhen.

Yuzhen looked at the ointment in her hand and knelt down with a plop. "Princess, I can go find the palace doctor myself. This ointment is too precious. Even if I sell myself, I can't buy a bottle of ointment."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "It's okay. You are a girl and you have scars on your hands. You will feel sad and inferior when you meet someone you like in the future. Besides, this ointment is meant to be used. You are my maid. If I say you can use it, you can use it."

Yuzhen held the ointment in her hands, kowtowed and said with a sob, "Thank you, Princess, for your gift. I will treasure it well." After saying that, she put the ointment in her arms.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan sighed helplessly and handed her another bottle, "This is for use, no need to keep it."

Yuzhen held the ointment in her hand and said, "Princess, this is too precious. I am not worthy of it."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "If I tell you to use it, then use it."

Seeing that Yuzhen was still trying to refuse, Yuzhu, who was standing by, pulled Yuzhen out and said, "It's a gift from the princess, so just use it with confidence."

Liu Yanyan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yuzhu taking Yuzhen away.

Drinking tea

Zhou Yanze walked over quickly, handed the coat to Butler Zhou, and sat in the main seat.

Seeing this, Liu Yanyan stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Zhou Yanze hurriedly reached out and pulled Yanyan up, his eyes flashing with deep heartache, "Yanyan, get up, there's no need to be so polite."

Liu Yanyan keenly noticed the slight anger in his eyes, but ignored it. She calmly sat on the chair beside him, stroking the round fan in her hand, "My Lord, why did you come here in such a rage today? But if I did something wrong, please point it out to me, Your Highness, so that I can correct it."

Zhou Yanze rubbed his cheeks, gathering the emotions that he hadn't managed to gather yet. He looked at Yanyan tenderly and said, "Yanyan, you are my wife, how could I be angry with you? It's just that He Tongfang did something wrong today, so I asked you to beat her up yourself. There are so many servants in the mansion, I'm afraid I hurt your hands, you see your hands are all red, I feel sorry for you!"

She is a spy outside the mansion. If you punish her like this, I'm afraid someone is plotting against you.

Liu Yanyan guessed it was this, thinking that he couldn't get away from the clichés and liked the things in the brothels. She felt sick just thinking about it. "Oh, is that so? She is just a concubine dressed like this, swaggering around in the garden. I am afraid that it will tarnish the reputation of the palace. How can I tolerate her falling down and slandering me? I can't lose the dignity of the mistress of the palace."

Zhou Yanze sighed secretly, took Yanyan's hand, and said distressedly, "I feel sorry for your hand. Look, it's all red. Next time, tell the maid or servant to do it. Don't lower your status and do it yourself, otherwise I will feel sorry for it."

Liu Yanyan looked at Zhou Yanze and caught a glimpse of the tenderness in his eyes. She didn't know how much sincerity there was in them. Thinking that they were still in the palace, she said, "Yanze loves me. Next time, I will definitely not hurt myself. Don't worry, Master!"

Zhou Yanze held Yanyan's hand, looked at her angry expression, and put his arm around her shoulders, feeling even more distressed. "Yanyan, you are still the best. I will warn He Tongfang to keep her in line and not let her cause you any trouble."

Liu Yanyan leaned her head on his shoulder, her face suddenly turned cold, and she muttered in her heart, "What kind of magic does this He Tongfang have that he needs to protect her?"

Zhou Yanze hugged Yanyan, with a gentle look on his face, "Yanyan, leave it to me."
