Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

next day

The dazzling sunlight fell on Yanyan's face. She raised her hand to block the sunlight. She opened her eyes and saw that Zhou Yanze had not come back. She felt a little disappointed, wondering what he was busy with every day.

I am now alone in an empty room! He forced a smile, pulled aside the bed curtain, and was about to call for help.

Yuzhu came over with hot water, wrung out a warm handkerchief and handed it to her, "Princess, please wipe your face first!"

Liu Yanyan took the handkerchief and gently wiped her face, then reluctantly lifted the quilt and let Yuzhu and Yuzhen help her put on the red official uniform and official boots.

As Yuzhu was helping the princess put on her official boots, she said, "Princess, after you fell asleep yesterday, Concubine He came to the door and asked to see you, but I didn't let her in because you were asleep."

Liu Yanyan frowned slightly. "Oh, why did she come to see you? Why did she come to see you at that time? Don't you usually have to come to pay your respects?"

Yuzhu kept moving her hands, arranging the princess's clothes. "Princess, she said it was about the charcoal fire. But Princess, you don't manage the public accounts of the palace, so why did she come to you for help? You should go to Butler Zhou! I didn't find that Butler Zhou had deducted money."

Liu Yanyan stood up and took the salt water handed by Yuye. After rinsing her mouth, she spit the water into the copper basin and said lightly, "She couldn't find the prince, and Housekeeper Zhou ignored her, so she could only come to me! But it's wrong! Housekeeper Zhou shouldn't make such a mistake. Besides, isn't it just the beginning of autumn? It stands to reason that the concubine doesn't have charcoal fire at this time. Why is she in such a hurry to use charcoal fire? Is she raised so delicate by her family? This shouldn't be the case!" Didn't she sell herself to be a slave? She shouldn't be so weak!

Yuzhu was puzzled. "Princess, I don't know either. Maybe Concubine He is particularly afraid of the cold! That's why she came to you for help!"

Liu Yanyan nodded in understanding, walked to the dressing table, looked at her beautiful figure in the mirror, picked up the lip balm and put it on her lips, smiled slightly, "Don't pay attention to her, Steward Zhou in the mansion will not be without her. It's just autumn now, and the concubine really shouldn't have charcoal fire. If she can't stand it, she will go to Steward Zhou."

Yuzhu used a wooden comb to carefully comb the princess' hair, tied it into a simple bun, and put on a short white jade hairpin. Then she spoke, "Princess, this concubine He is probably not simple. Normally, these concubines would only have charcoal fire in late autumn, but she looks like she was pampered."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly, picked up the official hat and put it on her head, and said coldly, "Send someone to keep an eye on her and don't let her cause any trouble. There is really no peace in this mansion all day long."

Yuzhu nodded and helped the princess walk out.

Liu Yanyan looked at the early morning, sat down at the table and said, "It's still early, let's eat first!" Thinking of what might happen today, Yanyan felt a headache and couldn't help wanting to go out later.

Yuzhu didn't understand, but she waved her hand to signal Yuzhen to get ready.

Liu Yanyan looked at the chicken noodles on the table, ate a few mouthfuls, drank a bowl of white fungus soup, and ate a few shrimp dumplings. Only then did she put down the jade chopsticks in her hand and said, "You guys take care of the main courtyard. I'll go to the government office first. It's no use hiding all the time."

Yuzhu respectfully held the princess's hand and said, "Princess, don't worry, I will take good care of the main courtyard."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly and walked out. Seeing Concubine He and Concubine Li bowing at the door, she nodded lightly and said, "Get up! If you need anything, just ask Steward Zhou. You won't be short of food and daily necessities in his mansion." After saying that, she walked straight out.

Concubine He stood up, seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't open her mouth.

Concubine Li looked weak and spoke sarcastically, "Sister He, I'm going back to Liuyan Pavilion first. It's not on my way, so you can go back to the side courtyard by yourself!" After saying that, she turned away.

Concubine He was so angry that her face turned blue. She turned around and walked to the backyard, cursing inwardly, "What a shame this Concubine Li is. She lives in Liuyan Pavilion because of a miscarriage, and she is happy about it. She is so shameless. Humph, how can she have the nerve to show off." After saying that, she walked straight to the backyard.

Yamenkou

As soon as Liu Yanyan's carriage stopped, she heard a commotion outside. She lifted the curtain and looked out, and sure enough, the group of people from yesterday were kneeling in front of the yamen, looking as if they were ready to fight to the death.

Liu Yanyan had a cold face and stepped on the horse stool to get off the carriage. She ignored the people kneeling at the door and walked straight past them. Just as she was about to step into the yamen, she heard them shouting.

"Princess, please spare my son! Please spare my son! He is still young!"

"Princess, spare my life! My son is a scholar!"

"Princess, you can't destroy them!"

"Princess, we will be beaten and punished, please show mercy!"

"Princess, my son cannot go to jail!"

"Princess, please spare my life."

"Princess, please."

"Princess, please let them go! I will take them back and discipline them strictly."

"Princess, my son is still young, please forgive them."

"Princess, Princess, please."

"Princess, you can't destroy our family's livelihood!"

……

Liu Yanyan listened to their noisy voices and said helplessly, "They are all scholars. They committed crimes knowingly. There is no such thing as leniency. Wait until they come out and then you can teach them a lesson! If you do something wrong, you must be responsible for what you have done." After saying that, she signaled the bailiff next to her to chase them away and then walked inside.

Back in the house, Yanyan leaned back in her chair and thought to herself, "These people are just like dog-skin plasters. They came to beg for mercy after being locked up. What were they doing before? Normally, we don't care about anything and just let these scholars bully others. Now they are begging for release. How is this possible? If we release them, wouldn't that just be encouraging crime? How can this be allowed!"

Liu Wu bowed respectfully and said, "Princess, the master has sent you a letter."

Liu Yanyan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Oh! Really? But Daddy misses me! Daddy hasn't given me any news for a long time."

Liu Wu pulled out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube and handed it to the princess respectfully.

Liu Yanyan took it and looked at the letter full of worry from her father. She couldn't help but murmur, "These people are really powerful! No wonder they dared to surround Liu Xin Academy. They are so confident! They even reported the matter to the emperor? This matter is a little out of control. I don't know if the emperor will compromise and let them go. If the emperor lets them go, I can't stop him."

When I thought of this possibility, I gritted my teeth in anger. I was very unwilling to give up. I picked up the pen to write a letter to my father, expressing my longing for him. The last sentence I wrote was "Dad, since this matter has been reported to the emperor, we cannot control it. The decision is in the hands of the emperor. Don't pay too much attention to it. Just watch and endure the calculations."

After writing, he folded the paper carefully, put it in a bamboo tube, and gave it to Liu Wu, "Send it to Dad, so that he won't worry."

Liu Wu then bowed and said, "I obey your command."

Liu Yanyan watched him leave, then rubbed her swollen forehead and cursed inwardly, "These people are not good at managing their sons, but they are good at making trouble. Damn it! They make trouble every day."
