The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1289

The two were chatting happily when Xu Tian soon heard footsteps getting closer and closer.

Xu Tian quickly raised his head and soon saw the eldest princess walking towards him.

"My lord, I wonder if you have a moment now? I'd like to speak with you for a few minutes." The princess stopped and asked.

Xu Tian stood up and nodded.

They quickly left the area and reached a more secluded place.

"I wonder what business the princess has with me?" Xu Tian pretended not to know anything, his gaze fixed on the princess.

He seems to have underestimated the eldest princess.

Why is it only now that Princess Chang is beginning to shine? Xu Tian was somewhat puzzled.

"My lord, you must also dislike Prince Yinglan, right?" The princess asked calmly, plucking a leaf with a smile.

She wanted to speak immediately, but she also wanted to know Xu Tian's attitude.

Xu Tian glanced around, his expression gradually changing: "Your Highness, it's not appropriate for the two of us to discuss this in private. You are not a member of the court, so it's best to mind your own business."

The court is a complex and complicated place, and Xu Tian still hopes that the eldest princess can stay away from it.

But if the eldest princess is unwilling, there's nothing I can do.

"There's no need for such excuses. All I want to know now is your relationship with King Yinglan." Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the princess instantly became somewhat angry, but she held back because of other matters.

There is a high probability that they can become partners, so we must remain calm.

Without Xu Tian, ​​my subsequent plans might be somewhat inadequate.

"What does the princess think is the relationship between me and the prince?" Xu Tian asked the princess in return.

As they drew closer, the princess's voice was audible only to the two of them: "I feel that you two don't get along very well, and he seems to particularly dislike you. Do you really want things to continue like this?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the princess quickly added, "My lord, to be honest, the reason I came to you today is that I hope you can cooperate with me and then kill King Yinglan."

She no longer wanted to see King Yinglan at all.

Xu Tian was genuinely surprised that the princess's purpose was actually this.

Not long ago, Xu Tian thought the Eldest Princess only wanted to depose Prince Yinglan. Now it seems that his thinking was too naive.

"Why does the princess do this? Can you tell me the reason?" Xu Tian was a little confused about the situation and immediately asked the princess.

It seems that many things are not as simple as I imagined.

At this moment, Xu Tian had made up his mind to investigate thoroughly when he returned.

The eldest princess shook her head, looking somewhat apologetic. "I won't tell the Marquis about this matter. All the Marquis needs to do now is agree to cooperate with the princess."

"This princess truly desires to cooperate with the Marquis. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will help you with whatever you wish to do in the future." The eldest princess offered generous benefits, hoping that Xu Tian would agree immediately.

If it were any other minister, they might have already boarded the princess's ship without hesitation.

But after listening to the whole thing, Xu Tian's feelings gradually became complicated.

"Your Highness, I really cannot cooperate with you." Judging from his tone, Xu Tian ultimately chose to refuse the princess.

He had already decided what he should do, so how could he easily agree?
