The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1216

So, Xu Tian brought the divine physician into the Imperial Medical Bureau. Several physicians dressed him up, shaved his beard, and transformed him into a middle-aged man!

"Lord Xu Tian, ​​where should we go next?" the imperial physicians asked, looking at Xu Tian who was deep in thought.

"The Prince of Yinglan's residence. Wasn't he claiming illness?"

Xu Tian chuckled and led the divine physician and several imperial physicians away. Then, Xu Tian and the others arrived at the Prince Yinglan's residence.

"Lord Xu Tian has come to visit. Please convey his message to King Yinglan," Xu Tian said humbly to his servant.

Upon hearing this, the servants of the manor went to report it to King Yinglan.

At that time, King Yinglan was enjoying drinking and listening to music.

When King Yinglan heard the servant's report, he looked puzzled and asked, "What's this kid doing here?"

The servant said, "He said it was to apologize for what happened before. Hearing that you were unwell, sir, he specially brought the imperial physician to see you."

King Yinglan panicked and quickly said, "Just say that my own physician has already examined the patient, and there is no need for the imperial physician to come."

"By the way, tell him to send the imperial physicians out of the palace and not to let them enter," said King Yinglan, expressing great suspicion about Xu Tian's intentions.

He believed that Xu Tian was only pretending to visit him so that the imperial physicians could sneak into the palace.

The servant bowed and left, relaying King Yinglan's words to Xu Tian and the others.

Xu Tian simply smiled and then left with the imperial physicians.

"Is King Yinglan's illness fake? Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry for us to leave," said one of the imperial physicians, feeling that this method wouldn't work.

"Everyone knows it's fake, but there's nothing we can do," the old doctor said, looking helpless. Could it be that they really can't enter the palace?

Xu Tian was unwilling to give up and returned to the mansion by the same route.

He asked the servant, "Please make an exception, Xu Tian requests an audience. I hope King Yinglan can forgive what happened before."

The servants then entered the mansion and relayed the message to King Yinglan.

King Yinglan's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, quite satisfied with Xu Tian's apology. It seemed he finally knew what it meant to be sensible.

"Don't let the imperial physician in; let him come in alone."

King Yinglan said that he ordered the wine cups and dishes to be put away.

It got hot soon, and a servant led Xu Tian in.

Upon seeing King Yinglan, Xu Tian cupped his hands and said, "This humble servant has come to pay his respects. I hope you will not hold the past against me."

"It's nothing, it's just that Lord Xu Tian is being so sincere."

King Yinglan said he didn't care, but he was secretly overjoyed.

“King Yinglan, I heard you are unwell, so I brought the imperial physician to see you.” Xu Tian wanted to continue, but King Yinglan stopped him.

"There is a doctor in your household, and my illness has been stabilized for the time being. I will recover in just a few days. The doctor also specifically instructed me not to be subjected to any major shocks."

King Yinglan's words had a hidden meaning, which Xu Tian naturally understood.

King Yinglan meant that he hoped Xu Tian would not investigate the old, messy affairs of the previous rulers.

Xu Tian chuckled and said bluntly, "King Yinglan, let me be frank. I never intended to touch upon the messes of my predecessors. What do they have to do with me?"

When King Yinglan heard Xu Tian say this, he was puzzled.

"Lord Xu Tian, ​​is that really the case?" King Yinglan asked, feeling as if he had been deceived by those civil officials.

"I didn't have a chance to tell you, which is why you misunderstood," Xu Tian said, his words filled with deep affection.
