The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 834

He was immediately filled with hatred.

"Hu Yan, I think you're going to refuse a polite toast only to suffer the consequences."

"If I can't bribe you, do you want to bribe another prince?"

A murderous glint flashed in Li You's eyes.

He gave Hu Yan a long look, who had already walked into the market.

"Since I cannot win you over, then I, the prince, have no choice but to execute you."

Without saying a word, he immediately summoned his assassin.

"I, the prince, will ensure that Hu Yan never sees the sun rise again tomorrow."

Li You said viciously.

Since Hu Yan cannot be used by him.

Keeping it is of no use.

In his mind, anyone who cannot be used by him will only have one fate: death!

He absolutely cannot let Hu Yan have the chance to see the sun rise tomorrow.

After returning home, Hu Yan did not go back to his residence.

Instead, they went directly to the Prince's Mansion of Lai Xutian.

"Hu Qin's actions were entirely his own fault. Although I had seen through his ambition before, I also have to blame myself for this. Yes, I didn't stop him at the time."

Hu Yan showed a hint of guilt on his face.

He always believed that Hu Qin's current predicament was all because he hadn't tried to stop her.

Xu Tian said, "Since Hu Qin has already harbored rebellious intentions, even if you, as an adult, try to persuade him, it will be of no use."

Doesn't Xu Tian understand what kind of person Hu Qin is?

It seems he had been plotting this for a long time.

The Emperor's critical illness was merely a catalyst.

Hu Yan was not swayed by his words.

The guilt in my heart still lingers.

And the more they chased, the deeper they went.

Xu Tian didn't know how to dissuade him.

After all, Hu Qin was his own younger brother.

Their parents died early, and now only the two brothers remain in this world.

Now, his younger brother has been exiled to the frontier, and his fate is unknown.

Almost none of those exiled to the frontier ever returned alive.

Hu Yan knew better than anyone else.

Xu Tian saw Hu Yan off.

The next day.

Xu Tian then heard about Hu Yan's assassination attempt and injury.

Xu Tian was taken aback.

"He was perfectly fine yesterday, how could he suddenly..."

He also seemed somewhat incredulous.

He then went to Hu Yan's residence.

Upon hearing the news, Li Chengqian also rushed to visit him.

Hu Ting was already on his deathbed.

The imperial physician arrived and informed him, "Lord Hu, it's already... This humble servant is truly incompetent."

He said to Xu Tian.

This is quite clear; Hu Yan is beyond saving.

He was shot in the chest with an arrow and also suffered several stab wounds. It is clear that the person who assassinated him was determined to kill him.

Both Li Chengqian and Xu Tian showed regret and sorrow on their faces.

Neither of them expected this.

Hu Qin had just been exiled to the frontier when this happened to Hu Yan.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated. No matter who it is, I will not tolerate it," Li Chengqian said angrily.

Just then, the maid inside started shouting.

"My lord, my lord, something terrible has happened! Our master..."

The maid was already somewhat incoherent, completely forgetting the identities of the people outside.

Xu Tian rushed in and saw Hu Yan lying on the bed, barely alive.

He then grasped the hand that had risen.

In just a moment, before he could even grab the hand, it had already fallen.

"Hu Yan, he's already...gone!"

When Li Chengqian came in.
