Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

Zhou Yanze heard the voices coming from the side, smiled meaningfully, ignored them, and said to the Third Prince and Gao Ping, "Eat more. This is a retired master chef from Zhuangyuanlou. The dish he cooked is pretty good."

Gao Ping said in surprise, "Zhuangyuanlou? It's the one that requires advance reservations and is so expensive! Your Majesty is in for a treat! This is not just a makeshift meal, this is a once-in-a-lifetime delicacy!"

Zhou Yanze coughed twice and said, "It's not that exaggerated. If you like it, eat more. It's just better than the usual ones. Come and try it. Try them all."

The third prince smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Zhuangyuanlou was my uncle's property! Really, if I had known earlier, I would have gone there more often. The taste is really unforgettable."

Zhou Yanze said coldly, "You are welcome to come and show your support. The food is indeed delicious. As long as you like it."

The third prince, who originally wanted to eat and drink for free, coughed twice and said, "Okay, I will definitely take care of my uncle's business." He was annoyed that his wife was not kind-hearted. Look at how comfortable his uncle was living.

Zhou Yanze looked at the expressions of the two men, smiled faintly and said nothing, quietly accompanied them to finish their meal, waited for Xiaohe to clean up, and then walked aside to look at the case file.

The Third Prince and Lord Gao were in prison, taking the Lan family members apart and questioning them one by one.

Lan Hu was dragged out of the cell by the bailiffs and was so scared that he wet his pants.

Seeing this, Lan's father gritted his teeth in anger and turned his head away, unwilling to look at his useless appearance.

The next day, the weather was gloomy and there was no sunlight at all.

After Liu Yanyan got up lazily, she let Yuzhu and Yuzhen help her change into a red official uniform, put on official boots, put on a golden belt, and tidy up her clothes.

She walked to the dressing table, washed her face, hands and rinsed her mouth, then Ren Yuzhu tied her hair into a bun and put on her official hat before she slowly stood up and walked out.

When I walked into the main hall, I saw Concubine Li and others sitting quietly on the chairs waiting. They didn't even say a word. It was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.

Liu Yanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, slowly walked into the main hall, and sat down in the seat of honor.

Concubine Li then calmly took the lead, stood up and saluted, "I pay my respects to the princess."

Liu Yanyan said calmly, "Stand up! You are very quiet today and didn't say a word, but you are scared! The prince still cares about you, so you don't have to be so restrained."

Concubine Li replied respectfully, "We are not restrained at all. We just respect our sister Princess. That's why we dare not say too much. We offended you a few days ago. Please forgive us."

Liu Yanyan then smiled and said, "You are all here to serve me. If you behave yourself in the future, I will not make things difficult for you. I care about you, otherwise I would not exempt you from punishment."

Concubine Li said respectfully, "Thank you, Princess, for your forgiveness."

Concubine He and Concubine Li also stood behind and said stiffly and respectfully, "Thank you, Princess Sister."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly and picked up the teacup. She had no intention of chatting with them anymore. She said the polite words once and didn't want to say anything more.

Seeing that the princess remained silent for a long time, the few people bowed respectfully and walked out.

Liu Yanyan's lips curled slightly, and she said softly, "Yuzhu, go, take me out."

Yuzhu respectfully supported the princess and said with a smile, "Princess, now they have learned a lesson. I'm afraid there will be a lot more rules in the future. This mansion is finally quieter."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "You didn't see the look in Concubine Li's eyes just now. If looks could kill, she would have torn me apart."

Yuzhu was surprised. "How dare she do that? She just doesn't want to accept it."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "It's useless for her to be angry. She still has to bow to me obediently. But the prince has her in his heart, and the old people in the Fu Mansion are watching. It's not easy to punish her too much. I'm afraid she won't be quiet for a few days. You keep an eye on them."

Yuzhu said respectfully, "I will keep a close eye on them and prevent them from reaching into the yard. Princess, please rest assured."

Liu Yanyan nodded slightly when she heard this, walked to the carriage in front of the palace gate, leaned quietly on the pillow, and when she thought carefully about the past few days, she still couldn't believe it in her heart. It wasn't long after the incident of the second prince that the prince took action to deal with the Lan family.

I thought to myself, "Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. I don't know if he can survive to the last life! It's good to cut off the support of the fifth prince's mother's family now, but who will take the throne in the end? These princes are not good people. We can't let them ascend the throne."

Yanyan was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't expect the carriage to shake violently. She held on to the carriage and finally sat down firmly. "Liu Wu, what happened?"

Liu Wu said with a bitter face, "Princess, several women from the Lan Mansion are kneeling on the ground and are unwilling to get up."

Liu Yanyan reluctantly lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the kneeling old lady of the Lan family, "You guys should stand up! The Lan family's affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, and I can't get a say. If you are worried, you should go to the Ministry of Justice's prison."

The old lady of the Lan family took her cane and stood up tremblingly. "Princess, this Lan Hu offended you. We in the Lan family have already beaten him. Please spare him!"

Liu Yanyan looked at Madam Lan and thought that if she let him go just for this little thing, it would be more than that! The Fifth Prince instigated the First Prince to kill me for him!

After a long silence, he spoke, "Old Madam Lan, this is a serious matter. It's not just Lan Hu's offense! There are more than a dozen crimes written on it! This is because His Majesty is angry and he wants to give an explanation to the people! If the old lady is worried, go to the Ministry of Justice to see them and ask them to explain as soon as possible so that they don't suffer!"

Old Madam Lan was unwilling and wanted to say something, but the daughter-in-law of the Lan family next to her covered her mouth and dragged her aside.

Liu Yanyan then nodded to Liu Wu, asking him to drive the car faster.

The carriage moved forward slowly. The old lady behind cried bitterly, crying heartbreakingly, "Liu Yanyan, it's you who are petty and you are the one who deliberately took revenge. Otherwise, how could they be caught?"

"It must be you, it must be you!"

"If something happens to them, how am I going to survive?"

"I'm dead!"

The Lan family's wife saw that the carriage had no intention of stopping, so she pulled the old lady up and said soothingly, "Mom, don't cry, let's buy something and send it to them! Crying is useless, the carriage has gone far away, and the princess can't hear it."

The old lady then wiped away her tears and nodded firmly, "Okay, let's go see them first."

After they walked away, the onlookers dared to ask, "Is this the old lady of the Lan family?"

"What happened? Something happened to the Lan family!"

"I don't know. It sounds like something happened and he's being held in the Ministry of Justice."

"Isn't the Lan family the fifth prince's mother's family? How could that be?"

"Who knows? Let's go, this is not something we can discuss!"

"A broken ship still has three thousand nails! This is the Lan family, and Concubine Lan is still here. Let's go."

Those who originally wanted to speak shut their mouths and dared not speak again. After all, the Fifth Prince was there!
