The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1028

They had been keeping watch because Xu Tian knew that the person who leaked the information must be the one who actually brought the epidemic in.

Xu Tian deliberately didn't assign Xiao Quanzi any tasks, leaving him to clean the courtyard of the deceased concubines.

Xiao Quanzi was also hardworking and conscientious. Even when he was cleaning the courtyard by himself, they never complained.

Moreover, he did everything in a very orderly and meticulous manner.

When the guards came to report, Xu Tian's face remained expressionless.

However, he was already somewhat moved.

The following evening, Li Zhi took a walk and deliberately passed by the courtyard of the deceased concubine.

In fact, he couldn't even remember which concubine lived here.

When Xiao Quanzi saw the person who came, he was stunned for a moment.

A eunuch beside Li Zhi growled, "How dare you! You don't even know how to bow before His Majesty! Which shop do you serve?"

Xiao Quanzi quickly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy and kowtowing repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am a newly arrived eunuch and do not know the rules of the palace. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

The eunuch beside Li Zhi wanted to blame him, but Li Zhi simply said, "Since he is a newly arrived eunuch, it is understandable that he does not know the rules of the palace. Just be more careful in the future."

Upon hearing Li Zhi speak like this, the little eunuch Xiao Quanzi seized the opportunity to speak.

He immediately knelt before Li Zhi, saying, "This servant thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness!"

Li Zhi initially took two steps, but then turned back.

"Perfect timing, isn't there a temporary shortage of a eunuch in my bedchamber?"

When Li Zhi spoke, the eunuch beside him was about to stop him.

Finally, after hearing Li Zhi's confident tone, he silently lowered his head and replied, "Yes!"

"In that case, let's take him back!"

Xiao Quanzi never expected that this matter would be so simple!

However, considering that Li Zhi was simply a brainless emperor.

If it weren't for Xu Tian's advice and strategies, he would be nothing at all.

Xiao Quanzi didn't even pack his things before hurrying to Li Zhi's palace.

If I could become a eunuch by the Emperor's side, I would want it no matter what I see today.

So he put on a very happy and flattered expression.

Li Zhi agreed to Xu Tian's plan and brought the eunuch back to serve him.

After the court session, Xu Tian went to the Imperial Study to discuss matters with Li Zhi.

"Master, according to your plan, the little fish has taken the bait."

Li Zhi spoke calmly and composedly.

Xu Tian had already seen Xiao Quanzi outside.

However, Li Zhi did not grant him any special privileges, such as the right to enter the Imperial Study.

Now, in the Imperial Study, there are only him and Li Zhi.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Li Zhi asked.

Xu Tian directly stated his next plan.

"We don't need to do anything for now, we just need to wait until that guy reveals his identity."

He had already tested the man's identity; he was clearly not an ordinary servant, but very likely someone's assassin.

With such an identity, it's highly likely that they would rather die than confess.

Therefore, without finding something to hold against him, they have no chance of getting him to reveal any truth.

In the dead of night, Xiao Quanzi walked out of Li Zhi's bedchamber and into the courtyard of the deceased concubines.

He then entered through one of the courtyards.

He came out very quickly, carrying a bundle in his hand.
