Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

"Don't cry, Yanyan! I will help you get back the debt little by little."

Yanyan raised her eyes and saw a pair of deep eyes, "Yan Ze, I won't cry! It's just that these tears are too disobedient and keep falling."

Zhou Yanze raised his hand and used a handkerchief to wipe Yanyan's tears. Then he said distressedly, "Don't cry, Yanyan. It hurts me when you cry! Don't cry!"

Yanyan raised her wet eyes, looked at him with a determined face, and nodded slightly, "I won't cry, I know Yanze won't let me down, I'm waiting for you to avenge me! I didn't expect you to really do it!"

Zhou Yanze kissed her on the cheek and said distressedly, "I'm here. As long as I'm here, I won't let you suffer any injustice. Don't worry!"

Yanyan leaned on her shoulder, and the pent-up anger in her heart dissipated a little. She thought to herself, "Even though I didn't overthrow the First Prince, the Fifth Prince, it's good to cut off the Fifth Prince's arm."

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Yan Ze thought she was still sad, so he patted her back gently and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid. Although the emperor said that he would investigate thoroughly, the evidence of the Lan family's case is solid, and the third prince and I are co-handling it. The Lan family will definitely get the punishment they deserve. They have committed heinous crimes, and it's time for them to enjoy the good life for so many years."

Yanyan nodded gently and leaned on Yanze's shoulder with a trusting look, thinking to herself, "I feel extremely sick when I think of Lan Hu's arrogant look. I feel extremely angry when I think of the Fifth Prince using the First Prince to assassinate me. Unfortunately, the Second Prince died later, which delayed the matter. It's good to be able to destroy the Lan family first now."

Zhou Yanze felt so distressed when he saw Yanyan's dazed look. Yanyan was so gentle, reasonable, and tactful. It was the first time in such a long marriage that she looked so broken. It was so distressing.

"Yan Yan, don't be afraid, I'm here! If you're unwilling, you can disguise yourself and go to the Ministry of Justice to sit in on the trial."

Yanyan looked up in surprise, "Really? Will it be bad?"

Zhou Yanze smiled and said, "There are many people going to see it, so it will be fine."

Yanyan nodded gently, "Okay, I'll go over in a few days, it's a good time to take a break."

Zhou Yanze smiled dotingly, "I'll go get busy first. I'll ask Xiaohe to call you in a few days! You don't have to wait for me."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly, "Yan Ze, go and do your work! I'll wait for you to come back at the mansion."

Yan Ze smiled and said, "Just wait for me. I will definitely not let them have an easy time."

Yanyan looked at Yanze's back as he walked away, and a little warmth arose in her heart. The solid ice in her heart began to crack a little. She didn't know when she would be able to fully trust him, but she was moved at this moment.

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Princess, it seems that the prince cares about you."

Yanyan nodded gently and said, "Tell the kitchen to prepare some delicious food for the prince and send it to him later, so that the prince won't be able to have a hot meal while investigating the case."

Yuzhu nodded respectfully, "Don't worry, Princess. I'll go and tell him to eat something hot right away!"

Yanyan watched Yuzhu leave, then stood up and walked to the window with the soup pot in her arms. She looked at the falling leaves outside and said softly, "The good days of the Lan family are over. That's great."

Ministry of Justice Prison

Zhou Yanze, who was standing outside the cell, looked coldly at the people imprisoned in the prison and said to the third prince, "You should cooperate with Lord Gao in the interrogation and leave a good impression on your father."

The third prince bowed and said, "This, this won't work. I still need you to take care of it."

Zhou Yanze smiled faintly, "Mr. Gao has been in the Ministry of Justice for many years. He is with you, the Third Prince, and will definitely give justice to the victims. I will just keep an eye on them when they go to court. When the Third Prince's reputation spreads, the people will recognize you more."

The Third Prince thought that his father had been coughing a lot recently and was afraid that there was something wrong with his body. He lowered his head to hide his emotions and said, "Okay, uncle, I will check it out with Lord Gao, don't worry!"

Zhou Yanze gave a meaningful smile and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

At this moment, Xiao He came over with a huge food box, "Your servant greets His Majesty."

When Zhou Yanze saw the food box, tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly, "Who sent this?"

Xiao He said respectfully, "Your Highness, this is something the princess loves you so much that she asked the kitchen to make for you. It was kept warm all the way here and it's still hot! Your Highness, are you going to eat now?"

The smile in Zhou Yanze's eyes deepened a bit, and he said calmly, "It's all women's opinions, really! Isn't it just an investigation in the Ministry of Justice? Then send it here specially, the Ministry of Justice also has food! Why bother with so much trouble!"

The third prince smiled and said, "My aunt loves my uncle so much. It's obvious that she prepared it carefully. I really envy her."

Seeing his envious face, Zhou Yanze smiled and said, "Let's eat first! You and Mr. Gao are together. There are guards here, so nothing will go wrong!"

The third prince nodded cheerfully, "I'm in for a treat today."

Lord Gao was still worried. He glanced at the Lan family in the prison several times, watching them huddled in a corner with dozens of yamen runners guarding them. He said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Zhou Yanze nodded, took the two of them to the side, and found a table in the prison. "Let's eat here! After all, the case has not been investigated thoroughly, and I'm afraid you won't feel at ease eating out."

The Third Prince bowed and said, "Uncle is right."

"Your Majesty is very thoughtful."

After a few people sat down, Xiao He put the lunch box on the chair and laid out the dishes one by one. There was still white mist-like hot steam on the dishes.

Zhou Yanze's eyes were full of pride. He looked at the Third Prince and Gao Ping and said, "Eat the food quickly, or it will get cold and become unpalatable."

The third prince smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, I want to try the cooking skills of my uncle's mansion."

Gao Ping ate with some restraint and didn't say a word.

Zhou Yanze was eating happily, and Yanyan felt sorry for me this time, so the food couldn't be wasted.

The aroma of food wafted through the cell. The people from the Lan family were so hungry that their stomachs rumbled and they swallowed their saliva quietly.

Father Lan covered his rumbling stomach, pushed Lan Hu down, and looked at him viciously, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could we have ended up like this? You're a jinx."

Lan Hu fell to the ground, holding his bruised head, and argued, "Dad, how can you blame me for this! I just offended the princess that day, and the princess had someone beat me up, and then she beat me up again when she got home. This matter has been covered up long ago, how could it be because of me! I have been very well behaved recently."

Father Lan looked at Lan Hu, then at his other sons, his eyes sweeping over their faces one by one. "If it's not you, then who is it? Once we find out, we'll let him go. When we find out who did this, we'll break his legs."

The sons shrank back in fear, not daring to say a word out of guilt. They smelled the delicious aroma of the food in the prison, covered their stomachs in hunger, and their faces became increasingly uglier.
