The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 789

Seeing this situation, Li Chengqian believed that continuing in this stalemate was not a solution.

"Listen up, all of you! I am now the Regent. Is this position not enough for me to vouch for you?"

Xu Tian was quite grateful that Li Chengqian was on his side.

Li You refused to budge.

He only relented after receiving assurances from several ministers.

However, he was unprepared and actually let Xu Tian go.

That evening, he found Xu Tian.

"Your Highness should know that resolving this matter is actually quite simple."

Xu Tian had long been aware of Li You's ulterior motives.

He just wanted to win me over and make me work for him.

That's why he's so focused on this matter.

All she wanted was for him to submit to her.

Xu Tian found it amusing.

Li You stated frankly, "As long as you agree to stand on my side, I can resolve all of this for you."

How much money do you want?

He bluntly stated that he wanted to use real money to win Xu Tian over to his side.

He could then help him prevent him from being implicated in this incident.

Xu Tian snorted coldly.

They didn't take Li You's words to heart at all.

He refused outright.

"Fifth Prince, if this is the reason you've visited my humble abode, please return home!"

He rejected Li You outright.

Li You instantly flew into a rage.

He roared, "If you don't agree, I, the prince, will make sure you die a horrible death!"

Xu Tianneng coldly stared at Li You in front of him.

Li You emerged with an air of arrogance.

They left Xu Tian's residence directly.

The following day, Li Chengqian led a group to inspect the ingredients in the imperial kitchen.

Li You intervened and obstructed their actions.

"Li You, what do you want to do?"

Li You laughed and said, "What can I do? I'll help you with the investigation!"

Li Chengqian realized that Li You was not there to help him with the investigation at all.

Instead, they came here deliberately to cause trouble.

Li You even pretended to inspect each ingredient.

"You really believe that Xu Tian wasn't behind this?"

Li You began to sow discord.

Li Chengqian simply wouldn't listen to him.

“How could Xu Tian have done this? There’s something fishy about this. You know perfectly well that Xu Tian would never do something like this.”

Li Chengqian always trusted Xu Tian.

However, Li You repeatedly tried to frame Xu Tian.

Li Chengqian saw all of this.

He believed that someone must have deliberately framed Xu Tian in this incident.

Otherwise, there must be some misunderstanding.

Li You bluntly said, "Big brother, you think Xu Tian is really innocent? You wouldn't be trying to win Xu Tian over, would you? Don't forget what happened to our third brother."

Li You spoke directly in a threatening tone.

Li Chengqian snorted coldly.

"Fifth brother, what do you mean by that? Who wants to win over Xu Tian? Do you know what the consequences will be if you say such things?"

Li You snorted coldly.

He said, "What consequences could there be? You already have those thoughts in your mind, so why are you afraid of the consequences?"

Li Chengqian was dissatisfied and ordered his guards to stop his own guards.

"Li You, are you planning a rebellion?"

Li Chengqian shouted loudly.

Li You sneered.

"Don't think that just because you've become the regent, you're actually the emperor."

Li You spoke with utter disdain.

He had never thought highly of the crown prince, but unexpectedly, Emperor Taizong was now ill and had asked him to return to oversee the country.

Li Chengqian is utterly useless, but unexpectedly, he now actually wants to win over Xu Tian.

If Xu Tian really sides with him, wouldn't his own status be even lower?

Who wouldn't want to win over Xu Tian now? It's all because they value Xu Tian's position in front of the Emperor.
