The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 972

Within this vast palace, someone actually dared to poison His Majesty.

It seems that this is definitely a plot to rebel.

Although he couldn't be sure who it was, he could already guess the general idea.

Thinking of those people guarding the palace gate, he knew very well whose people they were.

Xu Tian ordered the eunuchs to stand guard at the door.

He stayed by the bedside and performed a series of examinations on Li Er. Then, using bloodletting therapy, Li Er finally recovered after half an hour.

His face still looked pale, but his pulse had returned to normal.

Xu Tian waited a little longer, and Li Er finally woke up.

When Li Er woke up, the first person he saw was Xu Tian, ​​and his brows relaxed a little.

"Xu Tian! You're finally back."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and Xu Tian quickly reached out and grasped Li Er's hand.

"Your Majesty!"

Xu Tian was filled with mixed emotions. He hadn't expected that Li Er would change like this after only a few days apart.

His expression was also full of sadness.

“Xu Tian, ​​this Li Mao, it’s him. He did everything. Li Mao has already shown signs of rebellion.”

"You must not tolerate this."

Li Er's eyes revealed sadness, the kind of deep grief that comes from being utterly heartbroken.

Xu Tian had already guessed it, but there was no actual evidence.

Now that he heard Li Er say this, he was completely clear that this was Li Mao's doing.

Little did he know that Li Mao was so vicious that he would kill his father for his own grand ambitions.

To thwart Li Mao's rebellion, Xu Tian traveled to the military camp in the capital region with an imperial edict.

Upon hearing of Xu Tian's arrival, Su Meng seemed somewhat puzzled. "Didn't Xu Tian already go out? When will he be back?"

Immediately after he accepted the order, he issued the command.

"Guards! Seize the Prince!"

Xu Tian was instantly surrounded and dragged into a tent.

Xu Tian instantly realized that Su Meng had already sided with Li Mao.

After receiving the imperial edict, he immediately ordered Xu Tian's arrest and placed him under house arrest.

Xu Tian said coldly, "Su Meng, aren't you afraid of hurting your family by treating me like this?"

Xu Tian did not come unprepared; he had already visited Su Meng's home before his arrival.

Although he hadn't expected Su Meng to actually rebel, he had already sorted out all the ministers in the capital.

No matter who is preparing to betray him, he must be absolutely certain of defeating them.

Su Meng's expression changed slightly when he heard Xu Tian mention his family.

"What do you mean?"

Su Meng had already relayed Xu Tian's decree to Li Mao.

"Xu Tian, ​​explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"

Xu Tian smiled, completely unconcerned.

"I didn't tell you, did I? Your entire Su family is now in my hands. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I'll make sure you never see them again."

Upon hearing this, Su Meng immediately ordered his men to go to the Su family.

Although he is not far from the Su family, it will still take him some time to go there and back.

Su Meng then directly stopped the guards who were about to go and inform Li Mao.

Upon learning that his family had indeed been kidnapped, Su Meng had no choice but to withdraw his troops from the palace at Xu Tian's behest.

Xu Tian looked at Su Meng and exclaimed, "Lord Su!"

He called out to Su Meng, who was about to leave.

Su Meng had no choice but to release Xu Tian.
