Hou's favorite girl

Chapter 255

Li Zhuan is dead?

Jiang Hui couldn't believe it.

Didn't it mean that Li Zhuan was seriously injured and rested in bed?It's been more than half a year, and Jiang Hui thought he was healed, but who would have thought that he... died?
Jiang Hui's face turned pale.

Naturally, she would not care about the life and death of a person like Li Zhuan, but Li Zhuan was stabbed by Du Long. It will never be unraveled.

Jiang Hui's previous schemes with King Huai, taking A Ruo to get closer to the emperor and Empress Dowager Zhuang, etc., all the efforts were almost in vain.

No matter how much Mrs. Zhuang likes Ah Ruo, it is impossible to forgive the enemy who killed her grandson.

Although the emperor hated Mu Wang and Mu Wang's sons for their misconduct, and wanted to teach them some lessons, but it was just a lesson. How could the emperor accept the death of a nephew?

Jiang Hui sat on the chair.

Marquis An Yuan couldn't bear to see her distressed, sat down beside her, and said softly: "Hui Hui, don't worry, father will find a way."

Duke Huai sat down on the other side of her, and looked at her with concern, "Cousin, don't be discouraged, it depends on human effort."

Jiang Hui smiled, "I'm fine." After a pause, she asked softly, "How did Li Zhuan die? Hasn't he been recuperating in Shenzhou?"

"No, he didn't listen to the doctor's advice and came to the capital." Duke Huai expressed his anger.

Li Zhuan knew that King Yongcheng and King Mu didn't get any benefits in the capital, so he was so angry that he insisted on coming to the capital to ask the emperor himself.His injury was almost healed, but after the bumpy journey, the old injury recurred when he arrived in the outskirts of Beijing. The attendants hurriedly took him to the capital, and passed away shortly after arriving at Prince Mu's Mansion.

"Isn't he looking for death by himself?" Jiang Hui was angry.

"However, many doctors concluded that he did die due to the recurrence of old injuries." Duke Huai said in annoyance.

Li Zhuan died because of a relapse of an old injury, so in the final analysis, he still had something to do with Du Long.

"It was Prince Mu's mansion who arrested my mother and Uncle Du into the mansion for no reason, and Prince Mu's mansion was unreasonable first." Jiang Hui bit her lip.

Why is Prince Mu's mansion so tyrannical? If it wasn't for the fact that Prince Mu's mansion violated law and discipline and arrested ordinary people, Li Zhuan wouldn't be where he is today.

"But Li Zhuan is the son of the prince's mansion, and Du Long is an ordinary mountain man." An Yuanhou said briefly.

Prince Mu's son is an ordinary mountain dweller, the status of these two people is very different.Conviction and sentencing will be of great disadvantage to Du Long.

Jiang Hui couldn't sit still anymore, got up and paced around the room, "King Mu must have cried to the Queen Mother, right? The Queen Mother is heartbroken now, and His Majesty must promise that the Queen Mother will severely punish the murderer..."

"My father promised the emperor's grandmother that this case will be heard according to the law and will not be favoritism." Huai Wang told Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui was silent for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I am very grateful."

The emperor's attitude is by far the most ideal, and one cannot hope for anything better.

However, hearing this case according to the law may be very unfavorable to Du Longhui.Without him, his identity is here, whether it was Li Zhuan who was unreasonable first, or Li Zhuan deserved what he deserved, Du Long, a commoner, killed the prince's son, and the guilt cannot be escaped.

Shang Yang advocated that the prince should commit the same crime as the common people, but the prince of Qin really committed a crime, and what he punished was not the prince himself, but the prince's master.Li Zhuan violated the criminal law by arresting civilians for no reason, but if he really made a fuss in front of the emperor, Li Zhuan's capital crime could not be punished.

However, Li Zhuan died in the hands of Du Long.

With Li Zhuan's death, things were much more complicated.

Although Marquis Anyuan and King Huai have been comforting Jiang Hui, Jiang Hui can't be at peace after thinking about it, "If I'm not absolutely sure, I won't let my mother and Uncle Du show up in public. If things don't turn around, I will accompany my mother and Uncle Du." Uncle Du left here together, took little A Ruo with him, and went far away in anonymity."

"I'll walk with you." Duke Huai said without hesitation.

Although Jiang Hui was full of melancholy, when she heard King Huai's words, she felt sweet in her heart, and said jokingly: "Okay, when I leave, I will take you with me."

"That's a deal, don't leave me alone." Duke Huai looked gentle.

"Yes." Jiang Hui nodded slightly.

Both of them had stars shining in their eyes, sweet and happy.

An Yuanhou was speechless.

Well, Your Highness Huai Wang, you are quite capable, you dare to look at your fiancée affectionately in front of your father-in-law...

Prince Huai, are you planning to elope with your fiancée in front of your father-in-law?
"The matter has not reached this stage yet, the situation in the court is not yet clear, and we will make a decision later." An Yuanhou confessed.

"Yes." Both Duke Huai and Jiang Hui agreed.

Although they agreed in their mouths, the two still peeked at each other from time to time, as if they were still immersed in the promise and tenderness just now.

An Yuanhou saw it in his eyes and smiled slightly.

In the world, an innocent boy who falls in love with a beautiful girl is probably like this, right?

Duke Huai stayed in the other courtyard for one night, and returned to the city the next day.After he went back, he went to see the prince first, and then asked to see the emperor. The emperor rubbed his temples and said, "Your grandmother fell ill, did you know that? Also, this kid Li Ying learned how to be smart, so he sent someone to be roped down to the bottom of the cliff, The corpses from the bottom of the cliff were brought up, and it was determined that these two corpses were not Du Long and Feng Lan, and now your uncle is urging me to issue an order to hunt down the murderer."

"How does Li Ying know that those two corpses are not?" Duke Huai was puzzled.

The emperor said: "According to your uncle, the family members came to claim the female corpse. Moreover, Li Ying found some traces in a cave at the bottom of the cliff, and believed that Du Long had recuperated there."

Duke Huai frowned.

"Xiaohuo, go visit your grandmother." The emperor ordered.

Empress Dowager Zhuang fell ill, how could the emperor's son not feel distressed?King Mu's crying and the Empress Dowager's illness really bothered the emperor.

Duke Huai agreed, but then said in a low voice: "Cousin wants to accompany her mother and stepfather to hide her identity and go far away. I want to accompany her..."

The emperor raised his forehead, "You have been engaged in a fair and honest manner, but you want to elope instead. Xiao Huo, try to leave and see how the emperor treats you after he captures you back."

"I was just thinking about it, I didn't really leave." Duke Huai hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Emperor: "How did Du Long get to Prince Mu's mansion, and how did he stab Li Zhuan?"

King Huai said in [-], "Du Long and Mrs. Feng went to the market to buy things, but they were arrested by the people of Prince Mu's mansion. Mrs. Feng was locked up, and Du Long was taken to Li Zhuan's room. Li Zhuan dismissed his attendants. Du Long, Du Long is a bearded man, how can he bear it? He was stabbed in desperation."

The emperor thought for a while, "I know, it makes sense. Xiaohuo, you go to visit your grandmother first."
