The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1276

Xu Tian is exceptionally cunning; he might come up with some scheme in the end.

The ministers kept asking questions, and Xu Tian grew to dislike Xu Tian even more.

Faced with their cacophony of comments, Xu Tian felt a headache coming on. In the end, he still offered no explanation.

All the ministers felt that everything was Xu Tian's fault.

Xu Tian barely managed to hold out until the morning court session ended, and then left shortly after.

Fortunately, even though Shen Qing revealed the matter, he was not punished; he was simply asked to reflect on his actions.

"What exactly is going on with Shen Qing? I've been quite good to him, so why would he publicly accuse me in court?" Xu Tian felt something was amiss and knew he had to go back and investigate thoroughly.

Logically speaking, Shen Qing would never do such a thing.

He understands Shen Qing.

Xu Tian was unaware that Shen Qing had been secretly observing him from behind.

"My lord, I'm sorry. I will definitely apologize to you in person later. But this time I really had no choice. I was forced into this." Lowering his head, Shen Qing felt even more distressed.

Now is not the best time; he has no way to explain to Xu Tian.

He was a little worried, wondering if Xu Tian would still believe him in the future.

Xu Tian immediately ordered his men to investigate upon returning, and they quickly discovered that Shen Qing's wife had been kidnapped. Xu Tian was particularly familiar with what happened next.

"He and his wife have a deep and loving relationship, so I can't really say anything." Shaking his head, Xu Tian wasn't that angry anymore.

As expected, things were pretty much as he had guessed. If Shen Qing's wife hadn't been kidnapped, he felt that Shen Qing wouldn't have done such a thing.

While pondering, Xu Tian suddenly realized something very important.

Shen Qing had been helping him all along, yet he couldn't even properly protect Shen Qing's wife. He was also at fault.

He's been so busy lately that there are many things he hasn't been able to do.

Xu Tian realized that he had been neglecting too many things during this period.

"My lord, what should we do next? The rumors about you are bound to get worse, and the people may not like you anymore." His confidant was very worried about Xu Tian and quickly asked.

Xu Tian is so smart, he will surely come up with a reasonable solution soon.

Looking at his confidant, Xu Tian placed his hand on his chin. "Do you think I went a bit too far? I didn't even protect Shen Qing's wife properly."

Xu Tian's mind was completely occupied with this matter, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.

The confidant immediately tensed up and grabbed Xu Tian, ​​saying, "What are you saying, Lord Marquis? We never expected something like this to happen."

No matter what, I will absolutely protect Xu Tian's safety.

He would absolutely not allow anyone to slander Xu Tian.

Coming to his senses, the confidant realized he had been too excited and quickly apologized to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to apologize to me, and I should calm down now."

His confidant was right; he couldn't let this matter bother him anymore.

He must catch the person behind the scenes.
