Chapter 68 Case Closed
When the body of the old guard Tie Zhan was sent to the gate of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Zhu Huaizhen had to go back.
"Zhen'er, how about I keep you for a few more days?" Jinyiwei commander Lou Li hugged Zhu Huaizhen from behind and said softly.
The Northern Pacification Office opened up a piece of clean land for Zhu Huaizhen to rest.
In that clean land, Zhu Huaizhen could not hear any screams or smell any blood.
"Ali, how long can you keep me?" Zhu Huaizhen raised his head, smiling like a flower, his eyes bright.
Yes, Lou Li can’t keep Zhu Huaizhen for long.
Zhu Huaizhen tried and asked Emperor Xuan of Yan to grant her a marriage with Lou Li.
However, Emperor Xuan of Yan favored Chen Ming'an, the prince of Duke Dingguo.
How could a princess of a fallen country be so pretentious? She could only accept her fate.
However, Lou Li personally sent Zhu Huaizhen back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
"Prince Chen, I have found out that the two old guys in your Dingguo Mansion think they have worked hard and made great contributions, and often bully some weak ladies, causing them to commit suicide. Princess Ronghua is kind-hearted and has eliminated harm for the people. Not only is she innocent, but she has also made people happy. I suggest that you can conduct a self-inspection and rectification of the guards of Dingguo Mansion to avoid making big mistakes." Lou Li smiled coldly, with a cold pond in his peach blossom eyes.
"Thank you, Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard." Chen Ming'an said politely with a calm expression.
"By the way, the death of Haitang, Zhen'er's personal maid, has nothing to do with Zhen'er. I really want to intervene, but since it is related to Princess Xincheng, I'd better leave you some wiggle room." Lou Li continued.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen subconsciously tugged at the corner of Lou Li's clothes.
Otherwise, she could stay in the Northern Pacification Office for a few more days and live a quiet life.
The truth behind Haitang's death will never come to light.
By then, I will have to fight with those women in Duke Dingguo's Mansion, which will be very tiring.
Alas, Zhu Huaizhen, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Because Lou Li felt guilty towards Zhu Huaizhen, he almost agreed to every request.
Zhu Huaizhen wanted to eat pastries, such as tofu skin buns, yam cakes stuffed with date paste, chestnut powder cakes steamed with osmanthus sugar, lotus root powder and cinnamon sugar cakes, water chestnut cakes, chicken oil rolls, goose oil rolls, crab dumplings, steamed cheese with sugar, sugar-pickled rose stew, etc. Lou Li personally delivered them to Zhu Huaizhen's mouth.
Zhu Huai really wanted to listen to an opera, so Lou Li performed "Peach Blossom Fan" himself.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
Zhu Huai really wanted a hairpin, such as the gold hairpin with butterfly-loving flower, pomegranate, ruyi, tortoise-shell and silk, the red gold filigree hairpin with rubies, the gold hairpin with bat pattern and trembling branches inlaid with glass beads, the nine-turn red gold hairpin with two phoenixes inlaid with jade and seven treasures, the gold filigree hairpin with two phoenixes inlaid with rubies and kingfisher feathers, the gold hairpin with five treasures and peacock with spread tails, the rose quartz and crabapple with jade wings, the burnt blue peony crystal hairpin, the gold hairpin with four butterflies inlaid with red, blue and green sapphires and beads, and the emerald red gold phoenix hairpin.
"The death of Haitang has been investigated clearly. It was the maidservant beside Lian'er who couldn't stand Haitang and ran to Fanhongxuan to scold Lian'er, causing Lian'er to faint from anger. She then wanted to teach Haitang a lesson. Unexpectedly, during the struggle, Haitang fell into the well. The maidservant beside Lian'er has been dealt with, so there is no need for the commander of the Jinyiwei to worry about it." Chen Ming'an pulled Zhu Huaizhen behind him with a cold voice.
