The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 621

Morning next day.

The emperor was impatient and the first thing he did was to inquire about the condition of the imperial physician, Xu Tian.

"Xu Tian, how is the situation now?"

The emperor looked anxious.

The imperial physician pondered for a moment.

He then boldly stated, "Lord Xu is suffering from a strange illness, and it seems to be progressing very rapidly. Moreover, based on my diagnosis, I fear Lord Xu is beyond cure."

The ministers below were shocked upon hearing the imperial physician's words.

"Wasn't she perfectly fine before? How did she suddenly get such a serious illness?"

Among them, the Prime Minister looked completely incredulous.

After all, Xu Tian is still so young, how could he suddenly get such a serious illness?

I had only just heard about the illness when it was already too late to save him.

"Imperial Physician, did you not see clearly?" One of the officials, who particularly admired Xu Tian, asked with a questioning look.

The imperial physician snorted. Even without saying a word, the official knew that the physician was angry.

Upon hearing these ministers' words, the Northern Zhou emperor reached out and touched his forehead.

They finally found a talented man! But he died young.

He looked at Gu Chi, who was standing to the side, and asked, "How could Lord Xu have fallen ill so suddenly? Was there no warning sign at all?"

Gu Chi shook his head and said, "He seemed fine in class before, so we don't know why he suddenly got sick, and the illness came on so suddenly. Everyone was caught off guard."

Gu Chi looked very sad.

He even sighed softly, "I went to see Lord Xu this morning before going to court. He was coughing very badly, and the blood even soaked his handkerchief."

Hearing this, the ministers felt even more distressed.

They had already witnessed Lord Xu's talent and learning.

They are all people who cherish talent.

It's naturally a great pity.

Xu Tian is now seriously ill.

Naturally, we can no longer teach them.

Not only that, the Northern Zhou emperor was also worried about being held accountable by Li Er.

After all, Xu Tian was Li Er's confidant.

After the court session ended, the Northern Zhou emperor quickly dispatched troops to escort Xu Tian back to the country.

The Northern Zhou envoy was deeply saddened.

He originally thought he wanted to keep Xu Tian here indefinitely.

But I never expected that such an accident would happen.

He felt even more guilty, thinking that if he hadn't brought Xu Tian here, he might not have gotten this disease now.

He went to see Xu Tian one last time.

Sometimes, the silhouette is desolate.

The Northern Zhou envoy had barely left when Gu Chi followed him in.

He looked at Xu Tian and said to him, "After the morning court session this day, the Emperor learned that you were seriously ill and has assigned troops to escort you back to the Tang Dynasty."

He returned to tell Xu Tian as soon as he heard the news.

He knew that Xu Tian had been waiting for this opportunity.

Xu Tian smiled instantly.

These days, because he's been faking illness, his face looks as pale as paper.

Even speaking was incredibly weak.

He was also afraid of being overheard, so he pretended to be sick no matter what.

They were afraid of revealing any flaws.

Gu Chi believed that he had been trying to find ways to deal with him all this time.

Unexpectedly, Xu Tian did not intend to stay in Northern Zhou.

Moreover, it was learned that his arrival in Northern Zhou was out of necessity.

“I am truly sorry for all the things I did to you during your time in Northern Zhou.”

Gu Chi sincerely apologized to Xu Tian.
