The Imperial Guards 'Great General Li Junxian had been stabbed in the throat and killed on the spot!
This shocking news spread quickly inside and outside the Royal Palace, and Chang 'an City was in a state of shock.
An hour later, Zhangsun Wuji, Duke of Zhao, Qin Qiong, Duke of Wei, Li Jing, and a few other important officials entered the palace.
"What do you think of Li Junxian being killed by the Fuma?”
In Hanyuan Palace, Li Shi Min looked at the officials with a strange expression.
Li Junxian was the Great General of the Imperial Guards, a third-grade official with an illustrious status.
Now, he had suddenly died in the palace, and was even killed by the current emperor's son-in-law. This matter was no small matter. Clearly, he could not easily let it go. He had to give the officials an explanation.
Li Shimin could only summon a few ministers into the palace to put on a show.
"Your Majesty, I heard that General Li was accidentally killed by the Fuma because of a martial arts competition. I thought it was just an accident.”
Qin Qiong was the first to stand up for his nephew.
Li Shi Min's expression changed, as if he was waiting for Qin Qiong to say this.
"Cough cough, Yi Country Duke is right.
Your son had seen it with his own eyes. Li Junxian had clearly been restrained, but he had still attacked. The Fuma had been forced to defend himself and kill Li Junxian.”
The King of Wei, Li Tai, immediately stood up to support Qin Qiong and also spoke up for Luo Zhao.
Li Chengqian frowned and secretly glared at his intelligent younger brother.
Of course, he knew that Li Tai had seen through Li Shi Min's high regard for Luo Zhao, and knew that this question in the hall was just a formality. Thus, he spoke up for Luo Zhao and took the opportunity to win him over.
Li Chengqian was naturally unwilling to fall behind and hurriedly cupped his hands."Let alone the fact that the Fuma killed Li Junxian in self-defense, this competition is fraught with risks. Even if Li Junxian didn't ask for it, it was his fate. How can the Fuma be blamed?”
For a time, from the prince to the important ministers, they all tried their best to resist Luo Zhao.
Li Shi Min stroked his short beard, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
All the officials defended Luo Zhao. As the emperor, he could push the boat with the current and brush this murder case off as an accident.
This way, he could protect Luo Zhao and not be criticized for protecting his son-in-law. It was the best of both worlds.
Li Shi Min waved his hand and said,"If that's the case, then let's just…"
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji, who had been deep in thought, suddenly shouted and interrupted Li Shiming.
"What do you think, Wuji?" Li Shi Min frowned.
Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands and said seriously,"This subject heard that the prince consort subdued Li Junxian with a single move, which means that with his martial arts, he could easily capture Li Junxian again, so why kill him?”
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.
Li Shi Min was a little unhappy, but he could only ask,"Then what does Fearless think?"
"This subject remembers that on the day of the hunting grounds, Li Junxian offended the Fuma.
Thus, this subject believes that the son-in-law harbors a grudge and is using this opportunity to kill Li Junxian!”
As soon as Zhangsun Wuji said this, he turned around and shot a cold gaze at Luo Zhao.
Luo Zhao stood calmly and calmly as he met Zhangsun Wuji's gaze.
"Zhangsun Wuji, I knew it. How could you swallow your anger? So you were waiting for this opportunity…"
The youth sneered, seeing through the thoughts of this Duke Zhao.
He married Li Lizhi and destroyed Zhangsun Wuji's plan to marry into the royal family and consolidate the power of the Zhangsun family. This scheming Duke of Zhao did not show it on the surface, but how could he not remember it in his heart?
Moreover, his father Luo Cheng had once mocked Zhangsun Wuji for being deceitful and not being open and aboveboard. He had already offended him.
With Duke Zhao's personality, it would be strange if he let these two old scores go.
Today, he wanted to make use of this to settle old scores.
"Duke Zhao, you can't say that. The prince consort isn't a narrow-minded person.”
Qin Qiong immediately retorted, defending Luo Zhao.
"Luo Zhao, the Duke of Zhao said that you used your position to avenge your personal grudge and deliberately killed Li Junxian. Do you admit it?" Li Shimin asked.”
Zhangsun Wuji was the country's uncle, after all, so Li Shimin had to give him some face. He couldn't openly rebuke him in front of the ministers.
However, as long as Luo Zhao didn't admit it, he naturally wouldn't do anything to Luo Zhao just because of Zhangsun Wuji's accusation.
Zhangsun Wuji could tell that the Emperor was intentionally protecting Luo Zhao. He was dissatisfied, but he couldn't flare up. He could only sulk in his heart.
In the hall, everyone looked at Luo Zhao, waiting for him to deny it.
At this moment, the system notification sounded.
"Ding! The scan has triggered Black Pot. If the host takes the initiative to take the blame, he will receive a random chance to draw.”
Luo Zhao, who was about to deny it, swallowed his words.
He could trigger the Black Pot just like that?
The young man smiled…
Since the pot fell from the sky, how could he not go back on it!
Luo Zhao cleared his throat and said in a clear voice,""Imperial Father, Duke Zhao guessed correctly. Your son killed Li Junxian on purpose!”
