The bloody man in the corner heard the sound and reluctantly opened his eyes. He twitched the corners of his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he kept spitting out blood when he opened his mouth.
Li Jun hurriedly stepped forward to instill vitality into him and asked, "What's going on? Who hurt you?"
At the emperor's feet, Lu Tong was the commander of the patrol battalion. Who could put him to death quietly?
There was a layer of black energy on Lu Tong's face. He was obviously poisoned. The wound on his abdomen was still bleeding. He was already on his deathbed. With the help of Li Jun's inner strength, Lu Tong temporarily regained consciousness. He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, as if he was hesitating? Finally, he said with a gossamer voice: "King Jin, if, if the prince fails, please...save his life."
The firmness in Lu Tong's words made Li Jun feel that this matter was not simple. He asked: "Why do you say that? Who hurt you? Tell me so I can avenge you!"
Lu Tong shook his head, and soon fell into coma again.
Li Jun provided emergency treatment for him and applied pressure to the wound to temporarily stop the bleeding. However, Lu Tong still had poison that had spread throughout his body. The poison had entered his organs and he was afraid he would die. Fatigue.
He knew the result in his heart, but Li Jun still decisively carried Lu Tong on his back and ran to Prince Jin's mansion. Patriarch Xuanyuan was still in his mansion, so maybe he could find a solution.
Lu Tong woke up once on the way and seemed to feel Li Jun's determination to save him. He felt a little emotional that when he wanted to kill Li Jun, he was the one who convinced the prince's hesitation. The person he saw turned out to be Li Jun. Maybe there was some divine will. It's just that he has decided to be loyal to the prince since he was a child, so there is no way, really no way.
Li Jun used Qinggong and rushed back to the palace like lightning and headed straight for Xiyuan. When he placed Lu Tong in front of Patriarch Xuanyuan, Patriarch Xuanyuan just sighed and said: " It's too late."
Li Han was shocked and put his hand on Lu Tong's neck and realized that Lu Tong had no longer had any fluctuations.
Lu Tong is dead.
Before Li Jun could wake up from the shock, suddenly many imperial guards broke into the palace. They held imperial edicts and summoned King Jin to enter the palace, while Prime Minister Lu staggered in.
Li Jun vaguely felt that this was a game.
Lu Wen'an couldn't help but shed tears when he saw Lu Tong's body. This eldest son, who carried all his hopes, died here so mysteriously, but he couldn't say anything.
The emperor announced that no matter what Li Han thought, he had to go to the palace to meet Emperor Yan Ping first, so he asked those people to wait while he changed his court clothes and went to see Emperor Yan Ping.
Lu Wen'an originally wanted to take Lu Tong's body back, but the Imperial Guards said they would report it to the emperor. Later, Lu Tong's body was carried away by the Imperial Guards. Lu Wen'an was trembling all over but didn't dare to say another word.of.
After Li Jun entered the palace, he was temporarily placed under house arrest in Changxin Palace by Emperor Yan Ping, waiting for his execution the next day.
At the court meeting on the second day, all the courtiers who had received the news stood solemnly and did not dare to say anything. Some people who wanted to report to the court suppressed what they were doing when they saw such a situation.
Emperor Yan Ping was very satisfied when he saw everyone's silence, and said slowly: "Everyone must have heard about what happened yesterday. Lu Tong was my nephew, but he was killed in the street. , It’s simply lawless! Come on, bring King Jin here!”
Li Han thought about it last night and still couldn’t figure out who killed Lu Tong, and why Lu Tong didn’t dare to say anything. The name of the perpetrator, and why he said the prince would fail? What did he know?
"My son, I am here to see my father."
Emperor Yan Ping nodded slightly and said in a neutral tone: "Do you know your sin?"
" What's your crime?"
"Humph! Even though Lu Tong is a minister, he is also your cousin. You are so cruel to your own cousin. It is simply crazy. "
"I am wronged! This matter was definitely not done by me. Father, please look into it clearly. "
"If it wasn't you, how could Lu Tong's body appear here. In your palace? Many people in this capital have witnessed you taking Lu Tong to your palace, but in the end he died unexpectedly. Who else could it be if it wasn't you?"

"Father, I met an assassin on my way back home last night. He led me to an alley, where I met Lu Tong, but at that time he He was seriously injured, and I wanted to take him back home for treatment, but I didn’t expect that it was too late.”
“Huh, so you are still kind-hearted? You still dare to confuse right and wrong in the court. Well, I will convince you. Come on, tell me."
"Xuan Wuzuo."
Once when I went to the palace, I was very nervous and didn't dare to raise my head to avoid bumping into the nobleman.
"Wu Zuo, tell me how Lu Tong died."
"Yes. Your Majesty, Mr. Lu's abdomen was penetrated by a sharp knife, but the cause of his death was poisoning. . ”
“What kind of poison is it?”
“I don’t know, I have reported this poison to Lord Shangshu.”
Shangshu Pei. Lun said: "Your Majesty, I have asked the imperial physician to assist in the investigation of this matter."
"Where is the imperial physician's order?"
"I am here."
"What poison is so powerful?"
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, this should be the poison of the scorpion-tailed tiger. This poison is so toxic that ordinary people will die if they touch it."
"As we all know, the flaming scorpion tailThe tiger is in your house, this is nothing but physical evidence! "
"Father..."
"Shut up. Gao Shihe, passed down to the next person. ”
“It is reported that the Crown Princess has entered the palace. "
The Crown Princess entered the hall with a sad face. Lu Tong was her biological brother, and they had a very good sibling relationship. Lu Tong died, and she was sad but also blamed herself. If she hadn't been there yesterday Persuade the prince to leave the palace, and maybe nothing will happen next.
"Meet my father. "
"Get up. Tell me what you saw yesterday. "
The Crown Princess nodded and said: "Yesterday, I went out with the Crown Prince and encountered some accidents on the way. The Crown Prince's token was stolen. My brother stole the token in order to chase him. Talents will encounter unexpected things. "
"Prince, is this possible? "
This matter cannot be lied, and if he lies, he will ignore the Crown Princess, so the Crown Prince has no choice but to tell the truth: "It is true that I will return to my father.
Emperor Yan Ping nodded and said, "Princess, please continue, but have you seen anything else?" "
"Er Chen also saw King Jin. We were surrounded by a group of people at that time. The gangster took advantage of the chaos to steal the token. It was also at that time that Er Chen saw King Jin. But it just flashed by, and I was not sure whether it was King Jin. ”
