Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Lanhua Palace, with a field of golden chrysanthemums in full bloom

Imperial Concubine Lan was wearing a light yellow dress, a light purple shawl, and a golden chrysanthemum on her head. She took the wine glass and poured wine into her mouth. A tear fell from the corner of her eye. "Liu Yanyan, you are so patient. You let me get away with it. You deserve to die. You have harmed so many people in my Lan family. How can you live well?"

"You deserve to die! You deserve to be buried with me! Why are you still alive and well? Why!"

"Why? Why does Liu Yanyan have the right? Didn't Lan Hu offend her? Why does she destroy the Lan family?"

"Liu Yanyan deserves to die! She should be buried with the Lan family. How could she still be alive and well? Woohoo~~~~, she deserves to die."

When Concubine Lan saw that there was no wine in the jug in her hand, she smashed the jug to the ground and said, "Wine, wine, give me wine. I want to drink. I want to drink. Where is the wine! Wine! Bring me some wine!" She stared at the moon in the sky with tears in her eyes.

The little palace maid Yue'er, who also wore a small golden chrysanthemum on her head, stood tremblingly by the side, "I will go get the wine right away, I will go get it right away."

Concubine Lan felt so painful that she couldn't breathe. She picked up her handkerchief and covered her mouth with her tears. She couldn't believe that her family had collapsed like this, leaving only the women and children.

"Liu Yanyan, you are too petty. You want to kill the entire Lan family for such a small matter. Just wait for me. I will definitely kill you and let you be buried with them."

Yue'er carefully placed the wine pot next to the imperial concubine, and then hurriedly stepped aside. "My lady, please drink less. Aren't you still going to arrange a marriage for the girl from the Lan family? You drank so much tonight, I'm afraid it will delay things!"

Imperial Concubine Lan crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a ball and cried sadly, "Let me relax. I feel so uncomfortable! My heart feels like it's going to break. I feel so uncomfortable! The next decree tomorrow will be the same. Even small officials like them couldn't see Miss Lan before. They are really too high to marry. Humph~ It's really a bargain for them."

Yue Er responded, "They will definitely treat the girls very well. The girls they can marry are all high-class ladies from high-class families. It is extremely difficult for them to even meet them."

Imperial Concubine Lan smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it sip by sip. "Yes! They will live well. This is the last thing I can do for them. They will have a better life in the future. I just hope they can live well and don't hate me."

"The girls will definitely thank the Imperial Concubine. If there was no Imperial Concubine, they would have cut their hair and become nuns in the Taoist temple. How could they possibly hate you?"

Concubine Lan's eyes were full of guilt. She looked at the moon with a hollow look in her eyes and said, "It would be great if they could thank me. I'm afraid they will resent me in their hearts. If nothing happened to the Lan family, they would never have married these small officials who looked down on them. They originally had a good marriage."

Yue'er's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "My Lady Concubine, please don't think like that. You have done very well. They must be ungrateful for thinking like that. Don't be sad for them. It's not worth it."

Concubine Lan said helplessly, "I hope so! If I protect them more, I will feel better. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't be like this." If the fifth prince hadn't asked the eldest prince to assassinate Liu Yanyan, I'm afraid the regent would not have been so cruel!

Yue Er said distressedly, "My lord concubine, please drink less. The fifth prince will be distressed. Please take care of yourself."

Concubine Lan was relieved then. She put down the wine glass in her hand, looked at the moon above her head, and murmured to herself, "In this palace, only the prince is worried about me. Woo woo woo, what should I do? I still have the prince! I can't fall down. I am the daughter of the Lan family, the prince's mother, and the Emperor's Concubine Lan." After that, she fell asleep on the table.

At this time, Emperor Hongda was wearing a bright yellow uniform. He looked at the drunk imperial concubine and said distressedly, "Help the imperial concubine back home and prepare some food for her, in case she wakes up in the middle of the night and gets hungry. Prepare some hangover soup."

Yue Er stepped forward respectfully and said, "I pay my respects to the Emperor. I will serve you well."

Emperor Hongda then watched Yue'er help Concubine Lan leave. After a long while, he said to Eunuch Li beside him, "Send some jewelry to Concubine Lan tomorrow. I'm afraid she is really sad this time. Keep an eye on the servants in the palace and don't let them neglect her. She is really sad."

Eunuch Li nodded respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I will bring the things to you tomorrow morning. Your Majesty will be happy."

Emperor Hongda nodded and walked out. Thinking of Concubine Lan's appearance, pity flashed in his eyes. "Okay, let her be happy. After all, she has been with me for a long time."

Eunuch Li said respectfully, "The Imperial Concubine will be happy, Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Emperor Hongda coughed twice, clenched the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand, and then walked away.

In the room, Concubine Lan opened her eyes and looked outside. Tears quietly slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the back of her hands.

Yue Er wiped the tears of the Imperial Concubine with distress, "Don't cry, the Emperor still cares about you. Just now, the Emperor ordered me to help you in. The Emperor must be worried about you, so he came here specially."

Concubine Lan smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't have this little bit of favor, I, your queen, will be finished." I didn't expect that at my age, I still need to rely on favor to survive. I am really going backwards.

Yue Er didn't understand and said in confusion, "Don't cry, Imperial Concubine. The Emperor has you in his heart. There is room for change. Don't cry. Don't cry and hurt yourself."

Concubine Lan smiled bitterly and said, "We can only make arrangements for the women in the clan first, and the rest." We can plan the rest later. We don't know how the people in charge are doing, and whether those who are exiled to the border can survive.

The next day, leaves fell

Liu Yanyan got up with sore body. There was no one around her. The bed was cold. Thinking of yesterday's madness, her face turned red and she cursed inwardly, "What a bully!"

Yuzhu stepped forward to help the princess up and quickly put on the ironed official uniform for her. "Princess, I was scared yesterday. Fortunately, the prince came in time, otherwise I don't know how it would end."

Yanyan nodded and said, "I was indeed reckless yesterday. I have to be more careful next time."

Yuzhu respectfully put on the official boots for the princess and said, "I will be more careful in the future."

Yanyan stood up and nodded gently, "I'll have to bring a few more people with me when I attend banquets next time! By the way, is Yuzhen injured?"

Yuzhu said, "Yuzhen said she didn't have any injuries, but I saw slap marks on her face, and I was afraid she was beaten yesterday. I didn't want the princess to worry, so I didn't tell her."

Yanyan's eyes were full of heartache, and she said, "Go back and give Yuzhen fifty taels of silver as her reward. Let her have a good rest for two days and come back after she gets well. This time, it's all thanks to her for stopping the imperial concubine's maid."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "I'm here on behalf of Yuzhen to thank the princess for the reward."

Yanyan chuckled and asked her to stand up. She let her fix her hair and put on her official hat before she walked out.
