Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Liu Yanyan's face was cold and expressionless. She put her hand on Yuzhu's hand, slowly walked into the garden, sat directly on the stone bench in the pavilion, and gathered her cloak.

Yuzhu helped the princess to adjust her cloak, and then stepped aside when she saw that the tip of her shoe was not exposed.

Zhou Yanze sat next to Yanyan helplessly and whispered, "Yanyan, what's so good about this? It's all bloody. Let's go back and rest! Just leave this to Butler Zhou. He won't show mercy."

Liu Yanyan yawned and said sleepily, "He dared to poison the mansion. How can we not see what will happen to her? The maids and old women in the mansion are watching us! If we leave, I'm afraid the servants will be too lenient. If the price is too small, the Regent's Mansion will become an empty shell, and anyone can do something to the people in the mansion. That's the end of it."

Zhou Yanze heard this and stared helplessly. He couldn't say anything to refute. Even though he was really sleepy, he could only endure it and said, "Okay, I will listen to Yanyan. Whatever Yanyan says is what it is."

Concubine Li stood aside, her eyes filled with jealousy. She touched her face, clenched her fists tightly, and without saying a word, turned around and stared at the two people who were about to be executed.

Concubine He's mouth was blocked with a handkerchief and her body was tied tightly with hemp ropes. She was tied to a solid wooden stool and only her head could be lifted up.

Yun'er was tied to the stool next to her, crying her heart out. Her situation was almost the same as hers, and both of them had tears in their eyes.

Concubine He still wanted to beg for mercy, her pitiful eyes were blinking with tears, which made her look adorable. Unfortunately, there was a rag stuffed in her mouth, so she could only whimper, making the scene look very weird.

When Zhou Yanze saw it, he turned his head away speechlessly, not bothering to look at it. He picked up the peanuts on the table and started eating them one by one.

Liu Yanyan didn't care about it and drank the sweet soup slowly.

Yun'er's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She lowered her head and said nothing. Her whole body was shaking and she couldn't even beg for mercy.

Zhou Yanze waved his hand lightly, and two burly servants came over with court sticks and hit the two men on the buttocks one after another. After a few hits, their clothes were stained with blood. The blood dripped onto the ground with a crisp sound, forming a pool of blood on the ground, staining a large area of ​​the bluestone slab red.

Concubine He's face turned pale with pain, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, her eyes were full of pleading, and she whimpered for mercy, hoping that the prince would have mercy on her and let her go.

Seeing this, Zhou Yanze ignored them and turned his head away, not bothering to look at them.

Liu Yanyan was also calm, as if she didn't see anything, she drank her soup by herself and said lightly, "Your Highness, Sister He is begging for mercy! Looking at the current situation, should you put her down..."

Seeing Yanyan's weird temper, Zhou Yanze gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay. This is what she deserves. These dozens of sticks are just the beginning. Beat her hard so that she won't dare to raise her hand again."

The maids and old women in the corner were trembling with fear, and no one dared to plead for mercy.

Seeing that the prince and princess did not call for a stop, the servant muttered in his heart, "Should I hit them or not?" He did not dare to stop and hit them harder and harder.

Concubine He fainted from the pain and had no reaction at all.

Butler Zhou walked in with a bowl of salt water and poured it directly on the wound. "Master He, please wake up. The rules of the mansion require you to be awake when being punished, otherwise all the punishments will be repeated. Please wake up."

Concubine He woke up in pain and heard these words in a daze. She was so frightened that she couldn't help trembling and shook her head violently.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered in sweat, and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth. Her originally beautiful appearance was completely unrecognizable. She just stared at the prince from afar, whimpering and begging for mercy.

Zhou Yanze picked up the teacup and drank tea without any sign of softening his heart.

Seeing this, Butler Zhou waved his hand and signaled the servant to continue the execution.

After 30 beatings, Concubine He and Yun'er had already fainted on the wooden bench, their bodies covered in blood. They were carried to her yard by several maids and old women.

Liu Yanyan then yawned with her handkerchief in her hand and walked towards the main courtyard.

Zhou Yanze pushed Yuzhu away and supported Yanyan himself, "Yanyan, let me support you!"

Yanyan smiled and looked back, "Why are you like this? Yuzhu almost fell down, really!"

Zhou Yanze's eyes were full of grievance, and he said calmly, "Didn't she fall? Yanyan, your husband helped you walk steadily."

Seeing him staring at her neck obsessed, Liu Yanyan glared at him unhappily and said in a tender voice, "Don't look at it, there are people around!" After she finished speaking, she was carried horizontally and walked into the house. His suppressed voice came to her ears, "Yanyan, you seduced me."

Liu Yanyan gently hit his chest and said softly, "What are you doing? There are so many people watching! Besides, it's already daybreak."

Zhou Yanze chuckled, "Yanyan, I know what you want. Your husband will satisfy you right now. You don't have to be shy."

Yanyan was gently put on the bed, and she pulled the quilt over and wrapped herself up, "You, don't come over, I have to go to the government office soon."

Zhou Yanze walked forward, leaned against Yanyan's hand, put his arm around her waist, and said softly, "Don't think too much, Yanyan. I just didn't sleep all night and I'm just sleepy. Go to sleep! Otherwise, you won't be able to get up for a while."

Yanyan then leaned into his arms and closed her eyes. The scent of his ambergris filled the air, making her ears feel hot for some unknown reason.

Zhou Yanze looked at Yanyan and gave her a restrained kiss on the ear. "Yanyan, go to sleep."

Liu Yanyan listened to the violently beating heart beside her ear, and was relieved to see that he didn't make any unnecessary movements. Perhaps he was too sleepy, and he fell asleep soon.

Seeing Yanyan fall asleep, Zhou Yanze held her arms tighter, leaned on the pillow, looked at Yanyan's eyebrows with tenderness in his eyes, and kissed Yanyan's hair before closing his eyes and falling asleep with satisfaction.

Yanyan woke up again, stretched out her hand and felt that there was nothing beside her. She opened her eyes and saw that Zhou Yanze had indeed left. She pulled open the bed curtain, took the hot water handed to her by Yuzhu, drank it in one gulp, and then asked, "Where did the prince go so early in the morning?"

Yuzhu respectfully put on the red official uniform for the princess and said, "The prince left in a hurry early in the morning, and I don't know where he went. He just asked me not to disturb your sleep."

Liu Yanyan took the salt water from Yuzhen to rinse her mouth, took the handkerchief from Yuye to clean her face, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Bring breakfast with you. I'll eat at the government office. I woke up a little late today."

Yuye knelt respectfully and put on the black official boots for the princess, and Yuzhu put on the golden belt for the princess.

Liu Yanyan strode to the dressing table and said, "Yuzhu, just put your hair in a simple bun."

Yuzhu held the wooden comb and replied, "Okay, Princess." Without stopping, she tied her hair into a perfect bun in a few strokes and put on a short white jade hairpin.

Liu Yanyan picked up the official hat and put it on. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and murmured, "What a suave and beautiful woman." After saying that, she chuckled and stood up, letting Yuzhu support her as she walked out.

After getting on the carriage, he took the food box handed to him by Yuzhu, then lowered the curtain and leaned back on the pillow.
