Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Duke's Mansion

When Duke Liu received the letter from Liu Wu, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "Nannan is missing me! It's so rare that she still misses me as her father!"

Butler Liu said with a smile, "Of course the princess misses you. Look, sir, everything on the table was sent by the princess. They are all your favorites! The princess has not forgotten your preferences at all."

Liu Wu bowed and said, "This is what the princess ordered. She said you would like it, so she asked me to take a detour to bring it to you. If you don't like it, I will tell the princess when I get back."

Duke Liu: "I like everything my daughter gives me."

Gently tearing open the envelope, I felt warm in my heart when I saw the question about the shelter. After a long pause, I said, "She asked how they were doing in the shelter and whether they could pass the exam. I need to check this out and get back to her in a few days." I didn't care much about the shelter, but it seemed that there were a few scholars! I can't remember clearly!

Seeing Liu Wu nod, he turned to look at Butler Liu and said, "Go to the storehouse and bring back the ruby ​​tiara prepared for Nannan to Liu Wu. I specially collected it. If you don't bring it back, it will just gather dust in the storehouse."

Butler Liu said with a smile, "Okay, sir, I'll get it right away. The princess will definitely like what you prepared."

Duke Liu said to Liu Wu, "How has Nannan been doing recently? Has the prince made things difficult for her? Is he good to her? Has the woman in the backyard caused any trouble? Has she been bullied?"

Liu Wu said respectfully, "Master, the princess is living well in the palace, and the prince is also very good to the princess. Although there are a few people in the palace, none of them are superior to the princess. Don't worry! No one can bully the princess!"

When Duke Liu heard this, the smile on his face faded a little. "If Nannan hadn't been unconscious, she would never have been allowed to enter the palace! You should protect your master well and don't let her get wronged. The women in the backyard are the most scheming, so you have to keep a close eye on her! If Nannan gets wronged, you'll have to bring your head to me!"

Liu Wu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he assured with a guilty conscience, "Okay, Master, I will definitely protect the princess and will not let her suffer any injustice."

Duke Liu picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, then put the glass heavily on the table and said, "Nannan is married now, and as a father, I can't do much to protect her. She doesn't even tell me when she's been wronged." It would be great if I could find a son-in-law who would live with the family. Look how free Shuhui is living!

Liu Wu lowered his head, his hands shaking. "Master, the princess has always known how good you are to her. She is now the master of the mansion, and no one can bully her."

Duke Liu smiled bitterly but said nothing. He thought to himself, "If Nannan hadn't been unconscious, I would have probably found her a son-in-law! In this way, she would be right under my nose and Nannan would never be wronged. Now I am worried every day! This prince is not as good as I thought? He has only been married to Nannan for a short time, but he already has several women. I can only say that I made a mistake. Sigh! You are Nannan's guards. You have to protect her. Protect her first under any circumstances!"

Liu Wu knelt on the ground and said, "I obey your command."

Duke Liu ignored him and immersed himself in his own thoughts. Time passed by bit by bit, and the wine in the jug was reduced by more than half. The more he drank, the more bitter the wine in his mouth became.

Liu Wu said at the right time, "Duke, please drink less. The princess will be distressed if she knows."

Duke Liu nodded gently, "Get up! Don't tell Nannan, lest she worry!"

At this time, Butler Liu came over holding a rosewood box and said, "Master, the ruby ​​tiara is here."

Duke Liu took the jade chopsticks in his hand and ate a piece of braised pork. "Liu Wu, take the crown back and see if our daughter likes it. If she doesn't like it, just put it aside. I will buy her a better one in the future." My daughter deserves the best!

Liu Wu took the rosewood box from Butler Liu, held it in his hands, and said respectfully, "Okay, sir, I will definitely hand the crown to the princess."

Duke Liu paused while picking up the food, looking a little disappointed. "Go back! Go back and take good care of your daughter."

Only then did Liu Wu respectfully say "yes", turned around and left with the box.

After seeing Liu Wu leave, Butler Liu spoke to comfort him, "Master, don't be too sad. The princess is the master of the mansion and will not be wronged. Besides, all those guards are not there to eat for nothing."

Duke Liu smiled bitterly and placed the jade chopsticks heavily on the table. "She is just too soft-hearted. The women in the backyard have many tricks." She thought she had kept the drugging a few days ago a secret well, and thought that she knew about it. Fortunately, nothing serious happened.

Butler Liu comforted him, "The master just feels too sorry for the princess."

Duke Liu looked towards the direction of the imperial palace with a cold look in his eyes, and it took him a long time to look away.

Lanhua Palace

Concubine Lan suddenly shuddered, "Yue'er, add some charcoal to the stove next to you. It's getting colder."

Yue Er placed the hot water bottle in the imperial concubine's hand and said, "As you wish, I will go right away."

Concubine Lan touched the raised hairs on her arms and put on her clothes. "It's so cold not long after the beginning of autumn. It's really uncomfortable."

Concubine Lan held the hot water bottle tightly in her hand, feeling depressed. She walked to the window, raised her hand to open it, and looked at the large fields of chrysanthemums outside. Her depressed mood finally got better. "After their wedding, the stone in my heart will be relieved. Alas, why did the Lan family fall like this?"

Yue Er came over with a brocade cape and gently put it on the imperial concubine. "My Lady Imperial Concubine, why are you here by the window to enjoy the breeze? It's too cold and you could catch a cold. Please go back!"

Concubine Lan didn't care. "It's so easy to catch a cold. Don't worry! I know my body!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Yue'er could only huddle her body and wait aside, her face red from the cold.

Concubine Lan let the cold air sweep across her cheeks, and her chaotic mood finally calmed down. "Where did the emperor go? Has he come to see him?"

Yue Er shook her head. "The Emperor went to Concubine Li's place for dinner. Concubine Li is playing the zither for the Emperor in the room!"

Imperial Concubine Lan said disdainfully, "This is all Concubine Li knows. She was able to seduce the Emperor a few times, so she is quite capable."

Yue Er opened the window a little and said, "The Emperor has you in his heart. Please have your meal first! You haven't had a good meal since this morning."

Concubine Lan raised her hand to adjust the Dongzhu hairpin given by the emperor, then turned around and walked back, sitting upright on the chair, "Just bring some light food."

Yue'er then retreated respectfully.

Imperial Concubine Lan took out a bronze mirror and looked at the hairpin sent by the emperor. A rare smile appeared on her face. "I'm glad he still thinks of me. Now I'm the only one in the Lan family who can protect them. If I bring down the Lan family, it will be the end."
