The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 996

Xu Tian was simply retaliating in kind; he already knew that Xu Tian had poisoned the jewelry.

However, instead of exposing him in public, he poisoned the return gift he received.

He not only embarrassed himself in front of the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, he was actually given a severe beating.

His entire buttocks had been ripped open, and he had truly experienced Xu Tian's prowess.

There is bitterness in my heart, but I cannot express it.

He could only shake his head, feeling utterly helpless.

"Your Highness, please rest assured! I have remembered everything you said today."

Xu Tian smiled slightly.

"As long as Your Excellency is well here and has the same mindset as when you came, we can naturally coexist peacefully and absolutely not interfere with each other."

The envoy from the southern state nodded repeatedly.

Since Xu Tian could see without making a sound, he noticed that the things he gave were poisoned.

He also realized that Xu Tian was indeed no ordinary person.

That's why, because he had heard those rumors before.

Afterwards, he told Li Yuan everything about how Li Yuan had bribed him.

"Actually, we didn't think about these things at all when we came here. If it weren't for the prince, who bribed me to do this..."

The envoy from Nanzhou felt he had been treated terribly by Li Yuan and now only wanted that guy to disappear from his sight.

Now, he has not only offended the Emperor of Tang, but has also lost all face in front of those people.

It doesn't matter if he loses face alone, but he now represents the entire Southern Continent.

If this gets out, the entire Southern Continent will lose face.

"Don't worry! What happened in the capital yesterday will definitely not be known to anyone outside."

The imperial city is the place with the most gossip and scandals, but very little news from inside gets out.

Because everyone inside knows that the only way to live safely is to talk less and do more.

When Xu Tian learned that Li Yuan was the one who did this, he hated the guy even more.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Xu Tian hosted a banquet and invited Li Yuan.

Li Yuan thought Xu Tian wanted to be on his side, so he was very happy and joined his dinner party.

"Your Highness is too kind, too kind."

The above table was used to formally greet the prince.

Xu Tian didn't bother with formalities with him, simply giving a few perfunctory replies before instructing the servants to serve the dishes.

Li Yuan's appetite was instantly whetted as he looked at the dazzling array of food that kept being served.

All of these meals were prepared by Xu Tian himself.

It looks very easy to swallow.

"Your Highness truly lives up to his reputation as a top-notch chef; the dishes he makes look incredibly appetizing."

After another round of polite exchanges, Li Yuan finally started eating.

Xu Tian had already put laxatives in Li Yuan's food to punish him.

Just like Li Yuan said, the dishes he made were so delicious that you'd want to eat them after just one look.

Moreover, all the dishes I made tonight were ones that Li Yuan liked.

Just a few minutes after eating, Li Yuan felt unbearable abdominal pain.

"puff!"

A loud fart was heard, and the stench was so strong that Li Yuan wanted to cover his mouth and nose.
