The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1223

“Even renowned doctors can't help,” King Yinglan said with great confidence.

At Xu Tian's residence, Xu Tian, ​​accompanied by several maids, went to a garden. Pointing to the flowers, Xu Tian said, "From now on, you will prune the flowers and plants here!"

The maids were puzzled and asked their master why he would make them do such work.

"You don't know how? Never mind then, I'll take you back," Xu Tian said with a slight smile.

"My lord, of course we can. But is this the only thing?" The maids were quite surprised, feeling that Xu Tian was just giving them a perfunctory answer.

The garden is only so big; one maid is enough.

After a moment's thought, Xu Tian asked, "How about you go and clean a few of the mansions?"

The maids seemed somewhat helpless towards Xu Tian.

Xu Tian then took the divine physician to the palace.

The palace guards stopped Xu Tian, ​​but then, on the orders of King Yinglan, they let him pass.

Xu Tian and the divine physician went to treat Li Zhi, and several eunuchs watched the two of them.

"Lord Xu Tian, ​​how is it?" a eunuch asked earnestly.

The physician's expression softened, and he said, "His Majesty's illness is serious, but he will recover soon. However, we must find the person who administered the medicine before we can truly find peace."

Xu Tian believed it to be true, because he was worried about Li Zhi. He decided to give the divine physician a false identity, making him a guard and keeping him by Li Zhi's side.

Then, Xu Tian had a eunuch disguise himself as a divine physician and leave the palace.

The palace guards didn't notice and let them leave.

In the mansion, King Yinglan was listening to the reports from his servants.

"So fast? Heh, I think even if Xu Tian plans to bring in a divine physician, it will be to no avail. You all continue to watch over the palace."

"King Yinglan said, then thought of the maids."

The servants stepped forward and said that Xu Tian had arranged for several maids to prune the flower branches.

"What? Did you get any useful clues?"

King Yinglan asked, thinking that his men, who had just entered Xu Tian's mansion, could only do these odd jobs.

The servants looked at each other and said there was nothing there; Xu Tian's mansion was very clean and there was nothing there.

After hearing this, King Yinglan also felt that Xu Tian was too poor. Then, he felt relieved.

How could Xu Tian, ​​who is so poor and stingy, possibly defeat King Yinglan?

King Yinglan chuckled, feeling a pang of pity for Xu Tian's pedantry. If Xu Tian wanted to, he could easily have a plethora of people showering him with money.

King Yinglan then asked, "How are the palace guards doing?"

The servants replied, "Thirty percent of the palace guards are your men."

Upon hearing this, King Yinglan's expression turned grave. So many days had passed, and this was all they'd received.

It seemed the palace was a treacherous place, and King Yinglan felt a chill of fear. Perhaps there were other, even more powerful figures lurking within.

Meanwhile, in the palace, renowned physicians were still preparing medicine.

He was the only imperial physician guarding the palace, making his task extremely difficult.

"You guards, hurry up and find the medicine."

The renowned physician, accompanied by several guards, entered the former medicine pavilion.

This news quickly reached the ears of the King of England.

King Yinglan was immediately shocked, never expecting that the divine doctor had managed to infiltrate the area.

"The guards say that the divine physician has already entered the medicine pavilion," an informant reported.

"Hehe, let them be!" King Yinglan didn't care. Even if he exposed them on the spot, it would be useless and would only bring glory to Xu Tian.
