The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 884

Xu Tiancai had just returned to the mansion.

He was summoned by palace eunuchs and had no choice but to rush back to the palace.

Xu Tian entered the Imperial Study.

They saw Xu Huaize kneeling on the ground.

His brow furrowed slightly, and then Xu Huaize said with certainty, "I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly. This matter was entirely the work of the Prince, and has absolutely nothing to do with the Tenth Prince."

"The Ninth Prince wrongly accused the Tenth Prince and helped the Prince of the County escape punishment, all because of their original master-disciple relationship."

Xu Tian found Xu Huaize's words utterly ridiculous.

“Your Majesty, the evidence in the Ninth Prince’s possession is indeed all physical evidence. The Tenth Prince’s claim that he was framed by the Ninth Prince is completely fabricated.”

Xu Tian and Xu Huaize each held their own version of events, and tensions were running high.

Subsequently, Xu Tian began to suspect why Xu Huaize would get involved in this matter!

He then deduced that it was highly likely that Li Shen's wife was secretly manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Otherwise, why would Xu Huaize suddenly come to the palace?

Moreover, he insisted that Li Zhi had wronged Li Shen.

Xu Tian immediately cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "Your Majesty, I request that Xu Huaize's family be allowed into the palace."

Xu Huaize was shocked; he hadn't expected Xu Tian to make such a request.

His family members were detained in the mansion by the Tenth Prince's Consort, and no one knew about it.

How could Xu Tian possibly know?

And now, the emperor has even summoned his entire family to the palace.

He was puzzled.

But more than anything, I feel grateful to Xu Tian.

Because of Xu Tian's actions, the princess consort ultimately had no choice but to release all of his family members.

It is said that a sacred command is difficult to obey.

Li Er glanced at Xu Tian and then gave the order.

After receiving this news, Li Shen's wife was filled with rage.

She never expected Xu Tian to pull such a stunt.

If she still doesn't release Xu Huaize's family.

Then this matter will immediately be traced back to her.

She certainly wouldn't dare.

The only option was to release all of Xu Huaize's family members.

Xu Huaize was convinced that Xu Tian and Li Zhi were behind this.

However, when Xu Tian said that he wanted to summon all his family members into the palace.

Xu Huaize was speechless for a moment.

What else could he say? If it weren't for wanting to protect his family's lives, he would never have gotten involved in this mess.

And now his family is in the hands of that wicked woman.

They are in danger at any time.

That woman can be ruthless; she's capable of anything.

Their subordinates had all seen it before.

That's why no one dared to offend the Tenth Prince's Consort.

Xu Tian looked at Xu Huaize and said, "You can explain yourself after your family arrives."

Even in front of Li Er, Xu Tian still maintained this tone.

Xu Huaize nodded.

And so they obediently agreed.

Li Er suspected something was amiss, so he remained silent and waited for Xu Tian to investigate the matter himself.
