Chapter 73

Qin Shuhuang didn't realize it at first, but Lu Da's words made her startled, and then she frowned slightly.

In her previous life, she spent almost all her energy on the Gu family and Gu Hongchao. Whether it was relatives, friends or the maids and guards around her, she didn't spend time paying attention to them. She only had Gu Hongchao in her silly eyes.

After returning from rebirth, she noticed the maid next to her, and felt the dissatisfaction of her own bodyguards from time to time. She didn't pay too much attention until it was urgent, but she didn't want to know that her bodyguards were already so dissatisfied. .

If you think about it, you will know why.

These personal guards who followed her, especially those who were trapped in the Gu family before, were equivalent to completely ruining their future. Coupled with the deliberate and harsh treatment of the Gu family, as long as they were aggressive, they would feel dissatisfied, which is human nature.

There are a total of twenty personal guards around her, divided into four teams. There are four personal guard captains, namely Lu Da, Zhai Jin, Song Yiqiu, and He Yutian.

The four of them were the captains of the imperial guards when they were in the Imperial Guards. Luda Zhaijin was the brother who wanted to be the leader and had the strongest relationship. They were in the Gu family in their previous life. A year later, the two of them begged her to join the army at the border. The one who joined the army was the Xu family.

The Xu Jiajun was forced to surrender to the enemy because of Xu Siyuan's relationship. Luda Zhaijin wanted to convey the news to the court that the Xu family had surrendered to the enemy, but was intercepted and killed by the Xu Jiajun on the way.

Song Yiqiu came from a military family, his father, brother and uncle all served in the army, the most powerful one was just a junior official, he was the youngest in the family, and his family knew that life in the military was hard, even though Song Yiqiu was top-notch, they forced him to join the army. The royal family acts as a small personal guard.

In his last life, he was hit by a poisonous arrow while protecting Qin Shuhuang and died before they got married.

His family expected him to live a healthier and longer life than his elder brother, but instead he died the first. After Song Yiqiu died, Song Yiqiu's subordinates betrayed Qin Shuhuang one after another.

He Yutian is the youngest among the four captains of the personal guards. He runs a small bodyguard agency in his family, and he has practiced martial arts since he was a child.This kid has no ambitions. The reason why he became a royal guard is to keep his own business. His wish is to keep his family safe.

He has always liked the bright and smart Shilan, so he is the one who stays with her the longest among the four guards captains.

Later, in order to protect her, Shilan was defiled by Gu Hongfeng and had Gu Hongfeng's child. In order to protect Qin Shuhuang's innocence, Shilan took a poison.

During this period, He Yutian has been quietly taking care of Shilan.

After hearing the news of Shi Lan's death, He Yutian became ruthless and prepared to kill Gu Hongfeng with his men. However, the guards around Gu Hongchao discovered the clues. Gu Hongchao laid a trap and massacred He Yutian and his men with more than the few.

He Yutian was gone, and the bodyguard agency of He Yutian's family was quickly sacked by his peers. He Yutian's father and uncle died on the way to guard the bodyguard, and only women and children were left in the family, so they had to sell the bodyguard agency and go to remote towns to escape disaster. I don't know what happened.

Qin Shuhuang was immersed in these painful memories and lost his mind for a moment.

Lu Da hadn't heard Qin Shuhuang's voice for a long time, and couldn't help raising his head to look at Qin Shuhuang.

Her Highness the Eldest Princess looked blank, as if she was thinking about something else.

Luda was already dissatisfied with Qin Shuhuang, and thought that Qin Shuhuang was hurting him by doting on other women because of his consort, so he became even more angry. He deliberately raised his voice and said: "If your highness is unhappy, please let me know." That is, the subordinates should be responsible, but the subordinates are all subordinates who listen, and have nothing to do with them."

Qin Shuhuang was brought back to his senses by Lu Da's rough voice.

She lowered her head to look at Luda. The soft armor worn by the captain of the bodyguard Luda was still issued when he was serving as a servant in the palace. The cuffs and necklines were all frayed. Although it was washed cleanly, it was still old. It's time to change it.

She didn't treat them well in her previous life, but she will definitely do her best in this life.

What Qin Shuhuang didn't know was that the soft armor looked okay on the outside, but there was not much damage left on the inside. Luda had a virtuous wife who replaced the cotton lining inside the soft armor for him. The soft armor of the personal guard has been patched.

"Ruda, go and call the other three captains." Qin Shuhuang spoke.

Lu Da was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Qin Shuhuang in surprise. Could it be that His Highness wants to hurt his brothers because of his words?Let the other three come and be punished with him?
Lu Da regretfully murmured, "Your Highness!"

Qin Shuhuang waved to him, "Go as soon as you are told. Why are you standing there in a daze?"

Ruda could only get up dejectedly and go out to find the other three people.

If he had known this outcome earlier, he would not have been so impulsive.

His Highness was smitten by the Prince Consort. Didn't they already know that? Why are you so mean and talkative at this time?
As soon as Lu Da left, Qin Shuhuang told Ruihe beside him.

"Bring me all the soft armor I asked you to buy a few days ago, and 250 taels of silver."

As soon as Ruihe heard what Qin Shuhuang said, she understood what His Highness meant. She smiled and responded crisply, saying: "Slave, go now!"

After more than a quarter of an hour, Rui He brought people over to fetch all the things, and Lu Da arrived with the other three guard captains.

The four of them stood in front of Qin Shuhuang with their heads downcast, and then saluted together.

"My subordinates send their regards to Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess."

Qin Shuhuang looked at the four of them.

Among the four, only Ruda was married and had a three-year-old boy at home.The other three are still bachelors.

Song Yiqiu and He Yutian live in the capital. They have their parents, brother and sister-in-law, and their clothes are similar to Luda's. Only Zhai Jin is alone in the capital, his family members are all out of town, and his soft armor is the most ragged.

Before Qin Shuhuang could speak, Lu Da boldly said, "His Royal Highness, one of my subordinates was disrespectful today. If you punish him, please punish only one of your subordinates."

After speaking, he knelt down on one knee in front of Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang glanced at him, ignored his words, and said to a few people: "You were originally the personal guards around the emperor's brother, but now you are with me, and you are indeed being treated badly. In the past three years, you have worked hard for me. I see it in my eyes. I will remember your protection for the past three years. I will give you a promise today. One year from now, whether you want to join the army or find another job, I will give you a ride, and I will prepare a generous gift for you as a reward for your efforts over the past few years.”

Now she and the emperor's brother are surrounded by enemies. It's the time to hire people. Although her personal guards have criticized her, they are all loyal people. She still needs them desperately. She can't let them go now. She can only temporarily Promise them that when the time comes, if they have great ambitions, they will have a place to show off their skills.

When Luda was looking for the three of them, he told them about the wrong thing he said before that made the eldest princess unhappy. Although a few people scolded him, they didn't really blame him.

When they arrived in front of the eldest princess, several people were waiting to be punished. They didn't expect the eldest princess to say such words when she saw them.
