The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1187

The chief eunuch continued to explain,

"This servant truly has no idea what's going on. After all, His Majesty's food is always inspected."

That evening, Xu Tian remained in the main hall.

The imperial physician came in again to examine the patient.

"Is this all there is to it?"

Xu Tian felt that these imperial physicians were completely useless.

His Majesty has been poisoned for so long, and they can only keep him alive; they have no way to cure him of the poison.

Xu Tian was also unable to determine what kind of poison Li Zhi had been poisoned with.

He felt that he was now a useless person.

If he could detoxify, he would never have caused Li Zhi such pain.

"Isn't there any other way?"

Xu Tian felt that these imperial physicians might not have used their full strength.

He was perfectly fine when he left, but now he's in this state.

I was naturally very upset.

But there was nothing that could be done.

Looking at Li Zhi lying on the bed, lifeless, Xu Tian couldn't help but frown.

He asked the imperial physician to come up with a solution.

"No matter what method we use, no matter how expensive the medicine, we must develop an antidote to remove the poison from His Majesty's body."

The imperial physicians had been trying to find a solution, but they simply couldn't develop such an antidote.

Xu Tian's proposal was undoubtedly a huge challenge for them.

Most importantly, they may not be able to complete it.

Everyone knows Xu Tian's temperament; if they can't develop an antidote, none of these imperial physicians will escape punishment.

They are all prepared to accept sanctions.

Meanwhile, what Xu Tian didn't know was...

After Zhang Hetang came out of the palace, he was very suspicious of Xu Tian's request to invite him out of the main hall.

He considered himself a veteran minister, and that when the late emperor was alive, they were all considered virtuous ministers.

The term "highly respected and virtuous" refers to someone of high moral character and prestige.

However, to his surprise, Xu Tian, ​​that brat, didn't take him seriously at all.

They actually dared to invite him out of the main hall.

They showed him absolutely no respect.

In response, after Zhang Hetang emerged, he went on to publicize that Xu Tian's achievements were so great that they threatened the emperor, completely disregarding the ministers.

He knocked everyone down with a single blow.

The purpose was to incite the civil officials to anger.

"This is simply outrageous. Xu Tian is just a young upstart. He has only been an assistant minister for a few days, yet he is already so arrogant and domineering."

"If this continues for some time, won't it be going to ascend to the heavens?"

These civil officials began to discuss the matter amongst themselves.

They all believed that Xu Tian was simply using his position to suppress them, these officials.

"Now he doesn't even respect Lord Zhang anymore. Isn't this a case of his achievements overshadowing the emperor? He's simply too arrogant."

Xu Tian did not hear these rumors.

He has not left the palace since he entered it.

They also stayed in the palace at night.

Li Zhi fainted and never woke up.

Xu Tian was very worried and dared not leave.

They were afraid that something might happen to Li Zhi.

When Songren returned, he brought the prescription from the imperial physician to Xu Tian.

"Your Highness, these are all the results of the imperial physician's examination."

Xu Tian only glanced at it briefly before putting it away.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to say?"

Seeing that Songren seemed hesitant to speak, he asked.
