The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 971

Li Mao snorted coldly and immediately ordered his men to block the door.

"I've already said that Father is seriously ill and no one is allowed to see him. General, do you intend to disturb Father's rest?"

The General Zhenguo didn't trust Li Mao at all and was about to get into a fight with him.

Li Mao frowned deeply as he looked at the General Zhenguo before him. If a fight were to break out, he would be no match for this general.

But generals like Shulai are all blockheads.

But I never expected that the general in front of me would be different from those other blockhead generals.

Li Mao, citing the General Zhenguo's insubordination, ordered his men to arrest him.

Meanwhile, Xu Tian and Li Zhi, who were outside, were extremely anxious.

They waited for a long time, but the general still didn't come out.

"Master, do you think there might be some problems with the general going in? He's been in there for so long and hasn't come out yet. Could someone be framing him?"

Li Zhi was extremely anxious.

Xu Tian could only comfort her.

"We still don't know what the situation is inside, this matter..."

Xu Tian also knew what Li Zhi was worried about.

The general has been inside for so long, but he hasn't come out yet, and they are all extremely anxious.

That night, Xu Tian found the Grand Tutor.

"This..." The Grand Tutor looked at Xu Tian.

There was a hint of doubt in his expression.

"No wonder His Majesty hasn't attended court for several days, but this matter..."

The Grand Tutor appeared quite strange.

Although Xu Tian did not tell him everything, he did give the Grand Tutor a general idea.

Xu Tian asked the doctor to help him get to the palace.

They can't get into the palace at all now.

Li Mao had been on guard against them all along, and now the General Zhenguo had gone in but hadn't come out yet.

He was worried about this matter, but the Grand Tutor agreed without hesitation.

Xu Tian was swaggered in by the Grand Tutor.

They had just entered the palace when they were stopped outside Li Er's bedroom.

Xu Tian had a sudden inspiration and secretly hid away when he left.

Finally, he changed into the uniform of the Imperial Guard and sneaked into Li Er's palace alone.

As soon as he entered the large palace, he noticed that something was wrong.

Li Er lay on the bed, his face ashen, his breath caught in his throat.

He had considered many possibilities, but he never imagined that Li Er would actually be terminally ill.

Just as I was about to go upstairs to check on Li Er, I suddenly heard a sound coming from outside.

Xu Tian instantly hid himself.

It turned out that the person who entered was a eunuch accompanying Li Er.

Xu Tian darted forward and landed a dagger on the eunuch's shoulder.

"Your Highness!"

The eunuch recognized Xu Tian.

"Tell me, what exactly happened to His Majesty?"

Having witnessed Li Er feign illness several times before, they all assumed this time would be the same.

But when he saw Li Er's appearance, he realized that Li Er's illness was real this time.

The eunuch sighed softly, and then recounted everything in detail.

Xu Tian learned that Li Er had been poisoned.

He frowned deeply. "How could they have been poisoned?"
