"How is that possible? The prince, too. He promised the eldest prince this morning that he would protect you. It's simply too much. Princess, you take a rest. The room will be cleaned up soon." Guoguo cleared a clean place for Gu Can to rest.
After all, it was his own house. Gu Can walked around the house. It was late today, so they just simply cleaned up the house.
Gu Can has drawn the floor plan and has also planned how to renovate it.
The emperor also allowed her to hire a hundred guards. Gu Can handed the renovation of the princess's mansion to Ah Qi, and took Guo Guo with him to the pawnshop.
He brought back three cooks, a housekeeper, an accountant, fifty young men, and fifty women.
The backyard was converted into a training ground.
While renovating the princess's mansion, he began training the one hundred guards.
Gu Can was so focused on renovating the princess's mansion that he turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.
What happened at the gate of Prince Anchen's mansion reached the emperor's ears that night.
"Princess Yueling is too presumptuous." said Concubine De.
"They are so presumptuous. Crash." The emperor flicked the teacup on the table to the ground.
"Anqing is the barrier between Beiyuan and Dong'e. Now the Western Regions are making frequent moves, and Nanli is also eyeing Beiyuan covetously.

"So what?"
"The prince was punished with a beating and salary. I heard he was seriously injured."
"Anqing is the barrier between Beiyuan and Dong'e. The Western Regions are making frequent moves, and Nanli is also eyeing Beiyuan covetously. If Anqing switches sides, Beiyuan will be even more precarious. Anqing needs to be attached to Beiyuan, and Beiyuan cannot afford to lose Anqing as a barrier. The emperor punished them, but because of my tough stance, he had to pretend."
"So that's how it is."
"Of course they are. They are just testing my attitude to see if I am that easy to bully. Guoguo, have you ever thought about why these news always reach your ears?"
"Because they want you to know, Princess. So what should we do, Princess?"
