In the Jinluan Palace, the ministers were about to report, but they heard Li Hao's voice coming from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

  All the ministers were startled and looked outside the hall, only to see Li Hao walking in wearing a dark python robe, followed by eight guards carrying the bodies of two men in black.

  The ministers close to Li Nanchen could not help but frown, but dared not speak out. After Li Hao's purge last time, they finally woke up. Now is not the time to confront Li Hao openly. The right way is to keep a low profile.

  Li Hao strode into the hall, bowed perfunctorily, and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

  Li Nanchen raised his hand as usual and said in a gentle voice: "Uncle, there is no need to be so polite. I wonder why, uncle?"

  Li Hao looked at Li Nanchen, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, and he said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I was assassinated at the end of midnight last night. Fortunately, my subordinates were able to prevent the thief from succeeding. These two people are the assassins who assassinated me last night. I brought them here because I want Your Majesty to help me find the culprit who wanted to assassinate me."

  As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, the court became chaotic. The ministers whispered to each other, discussing who had the guts to assassinate the regent who was at the peak of his power!

  Ministers close to Li Hao knelt on the ground and said loudly: "I hope Your Majesty will help the prince and find the culprit behind this!"

  Li Nanchen couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. If Li Hao was assassinated at this time, it would definitely make Li Hao alert, which would be greatly detrimental to their plan. He didn't know which idiot would do such a thankless task.

  Li Nanchen lowered his eyes slightly, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and asked with concern: "Is the emperor's uncle injured? Can we send a royal doctor to see the emperor's uncle?"

  Li Hao waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, I am safe and sound. If your majesty is willing, please help me find the culprit behind the assassination."

  Li Nanchen smiled and said, "The emperor's uncle is a pillar of our dynasty and a loyal minister. He was assassinated. I must find out the truth. Where is Liao Min?"

  Hearing Li Nanchen's summons, Liao Min hurriedly walked out from the crowd of ministers, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."

  Li Nanchen pointed at His Highness's body and said, "Lord Liao, please go forward and check if you can find any clues about the identity of the man in black from the body."

  Liao Ming took the order and walked closer to the body to examine it carefully. Li Hao returned to his seat and began to close his eyes to rest. He wanted to see what kind of answer the little emperor would give him.

  After about a quarter of an hour, Liao Ming stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the body on the left is a male, about 30 to 35 years old, of medium build and thin, and was killed by a sword piercing his chest and heart. In addition to the fatal wound, there are two other penetrating wounds in his abdomen, which are from two different weapons. They should be caused by two people. The body on the right is a male, about 20 years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. There are multiple knife wounds on his body, none of which hit the vital parts. The cause of his death was poisoning. He should have bitten the poison in his mouth after being captured and died of the poison. No objects that can prove their identity were found on them, but they all have a flying eagle tattoo on the back of their necks. I guess they should be the death squads of a certain force. This is all I can find from the bodies."
