The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 885

With Xu Huaize's family members entering the palace, Xu Huaize instantly had no more worries.

If he continues to help the Tenth Prince's wife now, he might still face certain death later.

Xu Tian asked again, "Xu Huaize, can you still be sure that the Ninth Prince really wronged the Tenth Prince?"

Xu Huaize immediately prostrated himself on the ground.

He did it to save his own life and the lives of his family.

Confess everything directly.

"Your Majesty, it was because the Tenth Prince's Consort arrested my family that I had no choice but to listen to her demands and wrongly accuse the Ninth Prince and His Highness the Prince of the County."

"This humble servant deserves to die! I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."

Li Er couldn't help but frown.

He never liked the infighting and backstabbing within the palace.

But to his surprise, these people put on several shows for him every single day.

He simply couldn't stand it anymore.

He immediately sent his father-in-law to fetch Li Shen's wife.

He wanted to ask them face to face, to make them confront each other.

Xu Huaize knelt before the hall, his head buried deep in the ground.

Li Shen entered the imperial study, immediately knelt on the ground, and burst into tears.

She acted like a drama queen, crying and telling Li Er that it was all Xu Tian's deliberate arrangement.

"Father, ever since Xu Tian took that beauty from my residence, he's been obsessed with getting more. He's actually trying to use that beauty to frame the Tenth Prince!"

"I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly; this matter is absolutely true."

"Since all the evidence I have points to Xu Tian, and the servants in the talisman all say that Xu Tian was the one who did this, why has Father Emperor been protecting Xu Tian and not convicting him?"

The Tenth Prince's wife's father died saving Li Er.

That's why she's so unscrupulous.

Because she knew in her heart that Li Er would never kill him easily.

He has to silence the public.

Don't let anyone gossip about him behind his back.

Therefore, she believed that Li Er could tolerate whatever she did.

Li Er was already fed up with all this scheming and infighting. It was one thing for the women in the harem to scheme against each other, but now even his daughters-in-law were scheming against each other.

It was as if everyone wanted Xu Tian dead in an instant.

He didn't even understand why?

Li Shen's wife was the daughter of a martyr, and he could not easily kill her. He allowed this woman to cause trouble and talk nonsense in the hall.

He still seemed to be at a loss, so he finally pretended to faint and tried to avoid it.

The matter was dropped because Li Er fainted.

"Oh no! Oh no! His Majesty has fainted! Quickly, summon the imperial physician! Summon the imperial physician!"

The eunuch beside Li Er was an extremely intelligent man.

Upon seeing Li Er faint, he quickly called for help.

They then helped Li Erfu inside.

The people in the Imperial Study had to leave temporarily.

They left the imperial study and stood inside the spacious palace.

Li Shen's wife stood next to Xu Tian.
