The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 788

"Of course I know."

"Just so you know, the foreign envoy outside wasn't interested in your food at all. He even said that the chef here is really bad."

"what?"

The imperial chef was instantly enraged upon hearing the guard's words.

But he didn't dare to actually show it.

He only cursed the foreign envoy in his heart.

"But what is Your Highness doing here?"

The guard raised his head.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

After he finished speaking, he proudly raised his head.

He stopped paying attention to these imperial chefs.

Xu Tian gathered all the ingredients, frowned, and wondered what to make.

Finally, he realized that those people all came from the north.

That means they probably rarely eat southern food.

He had a sudden inspiration: "Let's make fish!"

Outside, foreign envoys were still criticizing the culinary skills of Tang Dynasty chefs.

Soon, all the dishes Xu Tian had prepared were served.

After eating his cooking, the foreign envoys all praised it highly.

"Who made this now? How can it taste so good?"

The foreign envoy directly demanded to see the cook.

Xu Tian happened to walk out from inside at that moment.

"These dishes were made by our prince."

The guard beside Xu Tian said with an arrogant expression.

The foreign envoys were shocked when they heard what the guards said.

They never imagined that the delicious dishes they had just eaten were actually made by a prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Well, well, I never expected that the Prince would have such a trick up his sleeve."

Xu Tian showed no arrogance.

He simply smiled slightly at their praise.

After the foreign envoys had eaten and drunk their fill and left, Xu Tian also prepared to leave the palace.

But soon, the guards outside came in to deliver a message.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! All the foreign envoys have fallen ill since they left here."

"what?"

Li Chengqian looked utterly surprised.

"We haven't done anything here, so how did they get sick?"

Afterwards, he took the imperial physicians with him to visit the envoys.

However, after the imperial physician examined her, the result was quite unexpected.

"They all suffered from food poisoning."

"what?"

Li Chengqian was shocked, and Xu Tian also appeared shocked.

Xu Tian became the target of public criticism.

Li You was furious.

“Xu Tian, ​​you cooked all those dishes. I never imagined you would dare to plot against a foreign envoy.”

"Guards, drag Xu Tian out and behead him!"

Upon hearing that Li You intended to kill Xu Tian, ​​Li Chengqian instantly stepped in to block him.

"Who dares!"

The guards who had rushed forward then retreated.

They all looked at Li You, but none of them dared to actually make a move against Xu Tian.

"Your Highness, things have come to this point, do you still want to protect Xu Tian? Don't you know what will happen if you kill these foreign envoys?"

Li Chengqian stepped forward.

He certainly knew the consequences of these things.

"I believe that Xu Tian was absolutely not behind this. Moreover, the Crown Prince can guarantee that the truth will be revealed within three days."

Li You still refused to let Xu Tian go.

“You are just a prince, what kind of responsibility can you bear? Yang Qichao must pay with his life for this matter.”

The princes who came in later, those who were with the crown prince, all spoke up for Xu Tian.

Those who oppose them must all be killed immediately.

Xu Tianyue was undoubtedly just a prince bestowed by the emperor.

They had no social status or position.
