The Grand Princess is the Emperor's own elder sister and the greatest contributor to the Emperor's ascension to the throne; no one dares to offend her.
The immediate tasks still need to be done.
The quartermaster of Suijin Garrison is now penniless, not only owing soldiers their pay but also not enough to pay the laborers' wages.
Actually, it wasn't much, just two hundred taels of silver. But those two hundred taels of silver were enough to keep Luo Baihu in check.
The garrison simply couldn't produce it.
