Chapter 475: Minister Lu Is Innocent! (2/2)

“But, Your Majesty, where have you placed the Cui family all these years? And how unfair have you treated the Cui family? The son of a servant of the Lu family, Li Muyang, killed a direct descendant of the Cui family, Cui Zh.o.a.ren, and wiped out Your Majesty's Monitoring Division. In the end the big issue was reduced into a small one, and the small one into nothing——Not only did the Lu family not receive any punishment, but Xu Da who is under Lu Xingkong's command also entered the Monitor Division——Your Majesty, old Minister, I, can't accept it.”

“If it wasn't for your selfishness, why would I do that to you? If you and the Song family had not sent speechless messages to each other, arranged marriage between the two families, then how would I need to take that step?”

“Duke, fortunately you were ostracized by Elder brother.” Prince Fu rea.s.sured with a smile. “If you are still as loyal to him as you used to be, guard him all the time, then the Cui family would be in danger now——”

“Man dies for money, and birds die for food. Your stance was not firm enough.” Chu Xianda sarcastically said, “Lu Xingkong holds the military power of the world, I don't believe that you have not tried to draw him to your side. Why is he still loyal to the West wind and loyal to me?”

“Yes, I did try to draw Lu Xingkong over to my side.” Prince Fu answered. “I have expressed goodwill to him countless times, openly and secretively, and even placed my favorite son Chu Xun at the Lu family's daughter Lu Qiji's side. I wanted to let the two marry to each other, then I will pa.s.s the throne to the hands of Chu Xun, and the Lu family's boat will also rise with the tide. In the end the Lu family was not tempted, and repeatedly refused——What's wrong with my son, how come he is not good enough for the daughter of the Lu family?”

It was no secret across Tiandu that Chu Xun liked Lu Qiji.

The two were always thought to be the perfect couple, a match made in heaven, and the two families were also well-matched in terms of social status.

What no one expected was that there was such a dangerous crises behind the two.

If Lu Qiji also liked Chu Xun, and if Lu Xingkong agreed to this marriage, then Prince Fu would have received the support of the Song family, Cui family, and the Lu family at the same time. How could Chu Xianda compete with him at that time?

Prince Fu pointed to the distance where Lu Xingkong was. “It is precisely because of this that Lu Xingkong brought about his own death today. Today, he must be killed. Otherwise, I cannot calm the hatred in my heart.”

“Twelve and thirteen listen to order, immediately go and save defense minister. No matter what, you must protect Defense minister and ensure he is safe——”

“Yes. Your Majesty.” Two white figures behind Chu Xianda soared into the sky.

“You can't go.” Another two figures sped over to intercept.

All four were imperial masters of the palace and it was difficult to determine the outcome of the battle.

“Broken palm——” Chu Xianda exclaimed again.

Among the crowd there was a middle-aged man whose palm was completely severed off, standing there without expression and not following the Emperor's order.

“Monitor Division listen to my order——”

Everyone of the Monitor division were expressionless and no one obeyed the order.

Yan Xiangma's face was ashen, tightly biting his lower lip.

Cui Jian threw a ruthless glare at him out the corner of his eye.

“Don't forget what your surname is.” Cui Jian uttered with a cold voice, like a knife slas.h.i.+ng through the skin.

“Flying Feather Army listen to my order—”

The Flying Feather Army did not move, standing there silently as if did not hear the order of Chu Xianda.

“I——” Chu Xianda's eyes were blood-red, hissing, “I'll fight you.”

“Li Fu, what are you waiting for? Want to jump s.h.i.+p?” Prince Fu said with a cruel smile curling around his mouth.

Whoosh——

Li Fu's body suddenly bounced up, like a thin dark monkey leaping towards Chu Xianda.

Snapped——

The sound of the blade cutting the flesh could be heard.

As Li Fu's body flew back, Chu Xianda was looking at his chest with a look of disbelief.

There was a jade-studded tiger-head dagger inserted in the position of his heart.

It was the tiger-head dagger he had gifted to Li Fu.

“My death is not to be regretted——” Chu Xianda's chest was stained with blood, and even his mouth began to overflow with chunks of blood. “Minister Lu is innocent——the Lu clan is innocent——”
