During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

"Huandu, no matter what, she is your aunt and your elder. Even if you are conflicted and dissatisfied in your heart, you cannot be so rude."

After hearing this, Luo Huanhuan did not give in. Instead, she raised her eyebrows with a stubborn light shining in her eyes.

"Why did I mess up? If you were in my position, would you agree to her unreasonable demands?" Her question was loud and every word was full of determination.

Princess Li was choked by these words, and the anger in her chest burned like a raging flame.

What she was angry about was Luo Huanhuan's unabashedly tough attitude, which showed no trace of respect for her elders. This made her, as the head of the palace's back house, with a strict family tradition, feel embarrassed.

At this moment, Jiang Qian took a step forward at the right time, took Luo Huanhuan's arm, and gently pulled her back, subtly cooling down the tense situation.

His eyes were sharp and his words were calm and powerful, "Prince Li, the case has been handed over to Jingzhao Mansion for trial. Before the truth is known, we can't let outsiders laugh at it, can we?"

His eyes swept across the surrounding crowd intentionally or unintentionally, and those words were like an invisible barrier, blocking out the curious eyes of those who did good things.

At the same time, it also left enough steps for Prince Li and Princess Li.

At this moment, Princess Li's words were stuck in her throat, and she could no longer continue. She could only swallow the blame that was about to blurt out angrily and helplessly.

"As expected of Princess Protector, she is so courageous!"

Among the onlookers, someone whispered, with mixed emotions of shock and admiration in their tone.

"After all, Princess Li is also her elder. She doesn't look like a princess at all by openly talking back to her elders."

"Princess Li is usually majestic and majestic, but has she ever been contradicted like this? But according to the rank, Princess Protector seems to be higher!"

Amidst the discussion, Princess Li's face turned pale. She took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the anger in her chest, and glared at Luo Huanhuan like a sharp arrow.

However, under the gaze of many people, she had to admit that what Jiang Qian said was indeed reasonable. The case had attracted everyone's attention. If he lost his composure at this moment, Changle would be fine, and Prince Li's palace would lose face.

"That's all." Princess Li suppressed her displeasure and said coldly, "Let's end today's matter. You go back and learn the rules well, and don't embarrass the Luo family."

Luo Huanhuan bit her lower lip tightly, and the stubbornness in her eyes did not fade away. However, she did not say anything to contradict her, but nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I will take a good rest and follow the rules when I return home, and I guarantee that I will not become the next Aunt Changle."

"You?" Princess Changle's cry suddenly stopped and she glared angrily.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Qian calmly let go of Luo Huanhuan and saluted, "I give you a gift to the princess, Princess Changle."

Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, inner hall.

Guo Xing sat in the first place, surrounded by the elites of Jingzhao Mansion. After His Majesty handed over the death case of Qi Huaiyu to Jingzhao Mansion, the people of Jingzhao Mansion took action.

Everyone knew that this matter involved the emperor's sister, and everyone was very alert.

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Guo Xing frowned and held several confessions in his hands.

"Qi Huaiyu's friends say he has a great drinking capacity, but the girl who serves him says he doesn't have a good drinking capacity at all. He gets drunk after just a few drinks. What's his drinking capacity?"

"Sir, I have heard that Qi Huaiyu has a good drinker, and people who know him also say that he has a good drinker." Ji Ziqiu said solemnly.

The chief clerk beside him was puzzled, "Sir, why do you care about Qi Huaiyu's drinking capacity? No matter how good he drinks, there will be times when he drinks too much!"

Ji Ziqiu replied, "The wine that was brought into the room on the day of the incident was not touched. If Qi Huaiyu had a good drinking capacity, it means that he was not drunk at the time, and vice versa."

The chief clerk suddenly realized. According to witnesses at Chunfeng Tower, Qi Huaiyu walked unsteadily as if he had drunk too much, with a spring breeze expression on his face.

If he wasn't drunk, how could he look so drunk?

Guo Xing found out Hou Cheng's testimony from several confessions. "According to Hou Cheng, he went to Chunfeng Tower to discuss business. He decided to go there temporarily. Have you checked clearly?"

"I've checked it out. It was indeed a temporary act." The centurion in the corner replied, and after that, there was no movement.

Just like this case.

On the surface, it seems that Qi Huaiyu drank too much and accidentally fell down. But if Hou Cheng had not avoided it at that time, Qi Huaiyu would not have died.

Since the case was investigated, Guo Xing has always felt that he had overlooked something, but he still couldn't remember. What was it?

He felt like he was about to figure it out, but he always came up short.

The older captain in the corner said: "Sir, during the investigation, my subordinates accidentally learned something, which is related to Princess Protector and Princess Changle."

"Say." Guo Xing said casually, without raising his head, presumably because he was not interested in what the captain said.

Ji Ziqiu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, looking at the testimony in Guo Xing's hand with vague eyes.

The school captain said: "Princess Huguo opened a shoe store. When the Huns came in force, Princess Changle sold many properties in her hands, including this store."

"After the Huns left, Princess Changle regretted and wanted to return to the shop, but Princess Protector did not agree. For this reason, Princess Changle sent people to Princess Protector many times to ask Princess Protector to return to the shop, but she was rejected."

"Princess Changle may have been unwilling to do so and asked some people to go to the shoe store to cause trouble, but they all failed. Later, Princess Changle began to tell everyone that Princess Protector had taken advantage of her, and even asked Princess Protector to take away the goods from the shoe store. Give her the dividends.”

The faces of everyone present looked as ugly as if they had eaten dead flies.

I don’t know who whispered, “Princess Changle is so shameless!”

Guo Xing nodded, and in the middle of the nod he came back and coughed lightly, "No nonsense."

"Lieutenant Lian, what does this matter you are talking about have to do with Qi Huaiyu?"

"Qi Huaiyu once insulted Hou Cheng in person, maybe..."

Ji Ziqiu frowned when he heard this, "It is common for Hou Cheng to be scolded as a slave. He will not kill Qi Huaiyu just for this kind of thing."

At most, it is to do nothing.

Lieutenant Lian pursed his lips and said, "Perhaps Hou Cheng deliberately angered Qi Huaiyu?"

"..."

Ji Ziqiu did not express his opinion immediately, because it was indeed possible that Hou Cheng deliberately angered Qi Huaiyu and then made Qi Huaiyu fall down the stairs.

Guo Xing asked: "Has an autopsy been performed?"

The chief clerk returned: "Princess Changle did not allow anyone to touch the body, so Wu Zuo could only do a simple inspection and found that there was a wound on the back of Qi Huaiyu's head. Wu Zuo speculated that it was hit when he fell down the stairs, and it was probably the direct cause of death."
