The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1219

Inside the imperial bedchamber, several imperial physicians wore grave expressions. An elderly physician, feeling the pulse, said, "Quickly, prepare the medicine!"

So the palace eunuchs started burning medicine and got into a flurry of activity.

The palace guards were also on high alert, patrolling every corner of the palace. Several imperial physicians discussed which medicines to use.

"That's right, quickly call the miracle doctor over!" said an old female doctor.

Just then, a group of unfamiliar guards suddenly arrived! "King Yinglan has ordered you to leave immediately!" After saying this, the guards chased the imperial physician out.

The next morning, news of Li Zhi's deteriorating condition spread throughout Chang'an, shocking many officials. Consequently, during the morning court session, numerous officials began discussing the matter.

The civil officials unanimously agreed that His Majesty's condition must be improved, otherwise it could easily affect Chang'an.

"Lord Xu Tian, ​​what do you think we should do now?"

A civil official asked, his face showing great anxiety.

Xu Tian's expression was grave; he had been bombarded with questions from the civil officials as soon as he entered the court. In truth, he hadn't expected things to turn out so suddenly. Just a few days ago, the imperial physicians had said his condition was stable and there was nothing to worry about.

Seeing Xu Tian's somber expression, some officials became even more anxious.

"Lord Xu Tian, ​​please do your best!" a civil official said, holding high expectations for Xu Tian.

Many civil officials turned their attention to Xu Tian and worried about him. After all, Xu Tian was in charge of this matter, and if anything went wrong, he would have to pay the price.

Xu Tian was still wondering why His Majesty's condition had deteriorated again. He thought of Prince Yinglan, who had always been against him.

Seeing that Xu Tian was still in a daze, the civil officials quickly called out to him. Xu Tian then came to his senses and asked what was wrong.

"Lord Xu Tian, ​​please be sure to heal His Majesty," said a civil official.

"I understand!" Xu Tian said, but his tone carried a hint of anxiety. He felt an immense pressure.

After the court session ended, Xu Tian and his entourage left.

The dozen or so civil officials all looked worried, secretly praying that Xu Tian could be cured.

On the way, Charlie continued to complain.

"My lord, what should we do? All the imperial physicians in the Imperial Physician's Office have been expelled from the palace."

Charlie said, looking utterly helpless.

"Have all the imperial physicians left the palace?" Xu Tian was somewhat surprised, as he had only just received this news.

“Yes, King Yinglan has returned to the palace, Lord Xu Tian,” Charlie said, and then recounted the events of that night.

Xu Tian thought for a moment and said to Charlie, "Charlie, go and check on the personnel situation in the palace."

"Why don't we investigate King Yinglan?" Charlie suggested directly, but King Yinglan covered his mouth.

“King Yinglan is more powerful than me, I can’t fight him,” Xu Tian said, so for now, he can only let King Yinglan go.

"Sir, I'll be taking my leave now!" Charlie said, and then he left.

Xu Tian was still pondering. He and the civil officials had already agreed to cure His Majesty.

However, the difficulties they are currently facing are significant. Xu Tian also has to contend with King Yinglan.

He returned to his residence and drank a cup of tea. Several servants came up to report that King Yinglan was ill again.

"This King Yinglan," Xu Tian asked, "why is he claiming to be ill?"

"I heard from the servants of the King of England that he will be unable to attend court for the next few days," the servant explained.
