After slapping the palms of his hands, the prince also punished the two of them. From now on, they will each go back to their homes for a month. After receiving the order, they don't have to go back to the garden to make others uncomfortable, and they can go back to their homes.

Princess Le'an left angrily, glaring at Yuan Zhao before leaving. Yuan Zhao gave her a courtesy and waited until she was gone, then left slowly.

After leaving the Villa, he returned to the carriage at his house.

"Why so fast?" Seeing that the princess came out so early and the master of Beifu was nowhere to be seen, Luo Yan felt strange, "Something happened inside?"

The Crown Princess invited me, but if there was no serious matter, how could I dare to leave the table without permission? I, Dongtang and others had been waiting outside, and I didn't see any servants sent by the palace to deliver the message. It was probably my princess who had caused trouble inside.

So he was kicked out.

"Didn't you see the princess's carriage just now?" Yuan Zhao asked after getting on the carriage.

"No." The guards shook their heads.

At the same time, he realized that it turned out that he had a conflict with the princess, so no wonder he was kicked out. Since this place is the royal villa, Princess Le'an does not have to leave even if she is punished. After all, this is her home.

"Let's go." Yuan Zhao no longer hesitated.

Luo Yan's sharp eyes suddenly noticed something strange about her hands, "Princess, your hands..."

"Twenty jie feet, no problem." Yuan Zhao looked at the palm of his hand, it was a little red and swollen, but no problem.

In order to cover up her innocence, she deliberately wrinkled her face when being beaten, as if she was in unbearable pain and had to endure it. The prince punished them both with a ruler in order not to hurt them, but also to make them feel pain.

Shame on and change.

If she doesn't feel pain, she will be punished with a heavier punishment next time. That would be asking for trouble.

Seeing that she was too lazy to mention it, Luo Yan didn't ask further questions. He directly took out a medicine box from the mezzanine of the carriage, took out the ointment and applied it on her.

Today, there is one less female guard. Wu Xi and the Seventh Young Master got married at the end of last year.

He was supposed to come back and continue to serve as the princess's bodyguard, but the Third Young Master won the battle a while ago, and Mrs. Jiang immediately had two large shops. However, they were viciously encircled and persecuted by merchants and local officials in a foreign land, resulting in their closure.

That was her dowry shop, and it was also the most profitable. There were shops in half of Wuchu's territory, and more than half of its income was used to support the military supplies of the Hou Mansion.

Maintaining soldiers and bodyguards was a huge expense, which could not be supported by the salaries of Dingyuan Marquis, the Crown Prince and the princess alone.

Nowadays, the largest shop is closed, the managers are dying and running away, and the losses are heavy.

However, those businessmen and local officials who valued profits over justice did not benefit either.

They ransacked the homes of two large business houses and must have embezzled a lot of money, so the gangsters got wind of it and came. All the merchants and officials who participated in the siege were not only wiped out, but their private belongings were also looted.

Officials in several places died unexpectedly one after another, and Wan Guan's wealth was missing, which angered the imperial court.

The Tianjia sent people to conduct overt and covert investigations, but so far no clues could be found. The Hou family was the first choice for suspicion, but Jiang had been accompanying Mr. Hou and his children in Dantai Mountain and was under surveillance. No evidence of collusion with the gangsters was found.

Without evidence, we can only continue to look for clues in other aspects.

Of course, that is a matter for the court.

As for the Hou Mansion, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes as Mrs. Jiang, and also worried that people in the royal family would use evil hands to cut off the source of money and food for the Hou Mansion, Wu Xi and the Seventh Young Master secretly took over some of the assets ceded by the three ladies.

If you are hit by economic pressure in the future, at least your diet will not be threatened by others.

Only after the Seventh Young Master and his wife have settled those assets properly will Wu Xi be able to return to the princess. To be honest, Yuan Zhao really doesn't want her to come back. It would be a good story if the two can be in love for a long time.

It's hard to find joy in suffering. It's not easy to live in the Marquis Mansion, so we can only try our best to live as smoothly as possible.

Moreover, with the changes in the situation, Brother Qi's side is not very safe.

In the past, he encountered an accident from time to time, but in the past two years, it has developed into an assassination. Even though the number of times is small, he still needs to take precautions. He should also be wary of outsiders knowing what he is currently doing. It is more convenient to have close guards around him.

However, Wu Xi was wronged because the sixth young master was still in Dongjun and the marriage had not been settled. Feng wanted him to come back to see each other, get married and have a son, and then return to Dongjun to study.

It's a pity that not only was he rejected, the Marquis also firmly opposed his return. He was asked to stay in Dongjun to study peacefully. If he met a woman he liked, he could marry her directly. A teacher is like a father, so there is no need for his parents to be present.

Because of this matter, Mrs. Feng cried for a long time.

The Sixth Young Master's marriage had many twists and turns, and he was far away from home. Marquis Dingyuan decided not to wait for him, but chose a date for Wu Xi and the Seventh Young Master to get married.

After all, it is beyond the reach of the elder brother, so it should not be publicized. Just finishing the ceremony is considered a ceremony.

Wu Xi didn't care about the grievances seen by outsiders.

In her eyes, this marriage was a fake to ensure the safety of the Marquis and the Seventh Young Master. As a bodyguard, she was valued by the master's family and would not hesitate to sacrifice her life, not to mention that it was a fake marriage.

The Seventh Young Master has an open-minded temperament and is a happy-go-lucky person. After getting married, he and Wu Xi treated each other with respect and got along harmoniously.

The elders saw this and were very optimistic about their future, including Yuan Zhao.

"Is there anyone you like, Guard Luo?" On the way back to the city, when Yuan Zhao was taking a nap, he suddenly asked Luo Yan, "Are you 19 this year? If you don't get married, Uncle Luo will probably crawl out of the grave to urge you.

"

Uncle Luo, Luo Yan's father went on an expedition with the third son, and encountered an epidemic place on the way. He was infected and "died".

The current situation is becoming more and more critical, and the relatives of the dead soldiers are being transferred out quietly, if there are any relatives. Uncle Luo is only in his forties, and it will not be difficult for him to get married and have children outside.

Luo Yan couldn't leave, and she didn't want to leave either.

The princess is rich and noble, but she still has the courage to stay and face the harsh living environment. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, just to be the princess's bodyguard. How can she abandon her master and run away?

"No." Luo Yan replied without hesitation, "Princess, you should worry more about yourself. I don't need you to worry about me."

"No," Yuan Zhao leaned on the soft sleeper in the car and joked, "Let's see Ginkgo and Ginkgo, they get married and have children, and they live a happy life. Don't you envy them?"

"I'm not envious." Luo Yan's face was expressionless.

The master can make fun of her, but she cannot make fun of the master. She can only reply dully, which is very boring.

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer guards around the princess. The accountant Yinxing met the prince's accountant at some point and got married. Two of the four maids, Yinzhu and Bihuan, married the young servant Nanbai respectively.

, guard graphite.

They have given birth to a baby. The baby is young and cannot be separated from her mother-in-law. For the time being, she cannot be a bodyguard who has to go out to work, so she can only stay in the princess's courtyard as a personal maid.

Nan Bai and Jin Shui are often left in the mansion to run errands, and only Shi Mo serves as a bodyguard as always. His brother Shi Zhu is also there. The Marquis originally wanted one of the two brothers to go, but they are not happy.

"Actually, Dongtang is not bad either..." Yuan Zhao thought thoughtfully.

"Thank you for the compliment, Princess!" Dongtang, who was sitting on the outer edge of the car in front, immediately answered, "But I'll just let it happen and don't be in a hurry."

Clearly rejecting her random offer, Luo Yan sneered, and Yuan Zhao rolled his eyes in the car.
