The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 812

Bai Qingcheng knew that she was just a pawn in Hu Qin's game, and even her coming to Xu Tian's side was arranged by Hu Qin.

But after spending these days together, she changed her mind.

Bai Qingguo still had a conscience. Seeing what Xu Tian had done for the people, she couldn't bear to kill a good person.

Looking at the heavy little bottle in her hand, she plopped down on the stool, her face appearing extremely somber.

"Your Majesty!"

Inside the study.

Song Ren had already walked in from outside.

"What happened?"

Xu Tianwen.

"Your Highness, someone just went to Miss Bai's room."

Xu Tian looked up, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"From what I've heard, that person gave Miss Bai a small bottle. Although I don't know what's inside, I suspect..."

Xu Tian simply waved his hand.

Then Songren was instructed to make arrangements inside the county government office.

"Just make sure everything goes perfectly, and don't hurt Miss Bai unless absolutely necessary."

Song Ren nodded.

As night fell, Bai Qingcheng entered Xu Tian's room.

She carried a tray. "Sir, it's so late, are you still busy?"

Xu Tian nodded, "There are still some cases involving ordinary people that haven't been resolved. Coupled with this murder, the case seems rather complicated."

Bai Qingcheng brought out the white fungus soup from the tray.

"I noticed that you've been staying up late these past few days, so you're not feeling well. That's why I specially made you a bowl of white fungus soup. If you have time, please drink it while it's hot!"

Xu Tian glanced at the white fungus soup, finally smiled, and brought the bowl to his own eyes.

Then, he drank it.

Bai Qingcheng then carried the tray out, and Song Ren, who was standing outside, immediately came in.

"Your Majesty!"

Xu Tian responded with a lukewarm reply.

"Ok!"

Bai Qingcheng returned to her room.

Her original order was to poison Xu Tian.

However, because of her understanding of Xu Tian over the past few days, she had other ideas and decided to switch the poison at the end.

Meanwhile, Xu Tian was in the kitchen.

He finished reviewing the last document.

“Starting tomorrow, keep an eye on Bai Qingcheng’s every move. She has failed in her duties and will definitely suffer persecution over there when she returns.”

Songren accepted the order and went out.

Xu Tian's guess was correct.

The next day, early in the morning, Bai Qingcheng secretly went to the place Gao Bin had arranged to meet.

This is an inn in the city, and the owner behind this inn is Gao Bin.

She went into the backyard, and Gao Bin, seeing that she had arrived, had even prepared a celebration banquet.

"Is Xu Tian already dead? But why haven't I received any news after so long? Have they suppressed this information?"

Gao Bin developed deep suspicions.

His eyes were full of accusation as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Bai Qingcheng was dragged along and forced to kneel on the ground.

"My lord, please spare Lord Xu! I have always stayed by Lord Xu's side and have seen him dedicate himself to the people. He would even bend down for a vagrant."

"He's a rare and excellent official! Please, spare him!"
