"Is he crazy? He clearly failed in self-defense, so why did he say he deliberately killed Li Junxian?”
Li Lizhi exclaimed in disbelief.
Zhangsun Wugou calmed down from his shock and sighed.""His father, Luo Cheng, was a ruthless and vengeful person back then. He really has the same personality as his father.”
"What about Imperial Father? How will Imperial Father deal with him?”
Li Lizhi sounded uneasy.
Li Junxian was a minister of the third rank, so how could she not know the seriousness of this murder?
Xiao Huan hurriedly said," This servant hasn't had the time to ask around before rushing over. However, State Duke Zhao accused the Fuma of deliberately killing General Li. It seems like he is targeting the Fuma."”
"Uncle?"
Li Lizhi looked at her mother in surprise.
Zhangsun Wugou sighed bitterly." Your uncle still cares about you not being able to marry your cousin. He's taking this opportunity to vent his anger."”
Li Lizhi suddenly understood and grabbed her mother's hand.""Then in Mother's opinion, what will Father decide?”
"It's hard to say. Li Junxian is an important official of the third rank, and your husband has admitted to intentional murder. Even your father won't be able to protect him.”
Zhangsun Wugou's tone gradually turned solemn, and his face was shrouded in worry.
Li Lizhi fell silent and her eyebrows furrowed.
Even though she had a grudge against Luo Zhao and they were only husband and wife on the surface, she couldn't help but worry when Luo Zhao was in danger.
Even she herself was curious as to why she would have such thoughts towards that enemy.
"In the end, you still care about him. Let's go and take a look at Hanfeng Palace.”
Zhangsun Wugou saw through his daughter's thoughts and pulled her up.
"I don't care about him ~"
Li Lizhi felt a little embarrassed that her thoughts had been seen through.
Although she didn't admit it, her body was very honest. She followed Zhangsun Wugou and hurried to Hanfeng Palace.
The mother and daughter came to the back hall and looked inside through the red curtain.
Li Lizhi was nervous, she was really afraid to see Luo Zhao being punished by Li Shiming and sent to prison by the palace guards.
The mother and daughter carefully lifted the red curtain and looked into the hall. The two of them were stunned.
"Zhao 'er, zhen is very gratified that you can think of protecting the imperial family's dignity.”
Li Shi Min patted Luo Zhao's shoulder with a fatherly smile.
Luo Zhao said lightly,"This is my duty. I wonder if Father will grant my request to go to war?"”
Li Shi Min pondered for a moment and said," Your martial arts skills are indeed good enough for the battlefield. However, in this northern expedition, many of the children of the noble families are vying to be the vanguard. If I appoint you as the vanguard, I'm afraid it will chill their hearts."
How about this, I will hold a combat examination a month ago to test your archery and horse skills, as well as your military strategies. As long as you can win, I will make you the vanguard general of the northern expedition.”
"Alright."
Luo Zhao readily agreed.
Li Shi Min laughed out loud. The more he looked at his son-in-law, the more he liked him.
Looking at this harmonious scene, Zhangsun Wugou and Li Lizhi looked at each other, confused.
What was going on?
Even if Li Shi Min didn't punish Luo Zhao, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Instead, his favor towards Luo Zhao increased…
Suspicion surfaced in the minds of the mother and daughter.
It was only when they learned about what had happened in the hall from the eunuch that the two of them came to a realization.
"I didn't expect that this child would think of protecting the imperial family just as he became the Fuma. On the contrary, it's Eldest Brother who's brooding over it and has lost his bearing…"
Zhangsun Wugou sighed. This son-in-law in front of him seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye than before.
"He really knows how to quibble…"
Li Lizhi snorted. Although she looked sarcastic, she was secretly relieved.
The bright eyes that looked deeply at Luo Zhao also had a hint of gentleness.
The family banquet ended with a false alarm.
Li Shimin told the couple to respect each other and love each other before sending them away.
The couple bade farewell to the Emperor before leaving Hanfeng Palace.
As soon as they left the palace, Li Lizhi couldn't help but ask, but Crown Prince Li Chengqian came up to her.
"Brother-in-law, you're finally out. I've been waiting for you for a long time.”
Li Chengqian walked forward with a smile. He had the amiable look of an elder brother and did not have the bearing of a crown prince at all.
"May I know what is the matter, Your Highness?”Luo Zhao bowed lightly.
Li Chengqian smiled and said," That day outside the Moon Pavilion, I saw that your mount was too ordinary. If you go to battle in the future, you must have a good horse."
The day before yesterday, my father gave me a fine horse from the Western Regions. It is being raised in the Imperial Horse Bureau. Brother-in-law, why don't you come with me to take a look? If you like it, I will give it to you.”
Luo Zhao understood.
This crown prince wanted to win him over by giving him a horse.
Since the Crown Prince had good intentions, he naturally couldn't brush off his face. How could Luo Zhao not understand such a small matter?
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Luo Zhao didn't decline and followed Li Chengqian to the Imperial Horse Bureau.
In front of others, Li Lizhi had to pretend to be a married woman, so she could only follow them.
The three of them had just entered the Imperial Horse Warden when they saw a chaotic scene.
"Oh no, that Western Region horse is crazy!”
"Hurry up and give her a hand. Don't let the princess fall.”
"Not good. This Ma Tai Lie can't be stopped.”
The small officials of the Imperial Horse Bureau surrounded the racecourt and shouted, anxious like ants on a hot pan.
Luo Zhao looked into the distance and saw a black horse galloping and jumping.
The young woman on the horse was dressed in red. Her cold and elegant appearance carried a hint of heroism, and she had a somewhat heroic spirit.
"Princess Chai, isn't she guarding the border? When did she return…"
Luo Zhao recognized the young woman.
Chai Qingmei was the daughter of the number one female general of the Great Tang, Princess Ping Yang, Li Xiu Ning.
