Chapter 284 Master Xuantong

Mu Qing said with certainty, "Yes, those poisonous insects are scattered among the pages of the prince's book."

Yin Li didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face looked very strange.

Mu Qing was about to ask further questions, but he caught a glimpse of a group of people kneeling downstairs in his peripheral vision.

It was the emperor and the crown prince who appeared outside the library.

He quickly gestured to the other two to keep quiet, and the three of them went downstairs together, all smiling to welcome the arrival of His Majesty and the Crown Prince.

"No need to be so polite!" the emperor said kindly. "Mr. Mu, how is the book revision going?"

Mu Qing answered truthfully, "With the help of Pavilion Master Yin, we have already restored most of the books in the library."

"That's good!" The emperor didn't intend to ask any more questions. He stroked his beard and smiled at the people around him, "Master Xuantong, you said that the aura of good fortune is very strong in the southwest of the palace, but is it here?"

The three of them were shocked at the same time, and then they realized that the emperor and the prince were accompanied by a high-level monk.

This Master Xuantong had a very low presence. He was wearing a platinum-colored cassock, his hair and beard were all white, and beneath his white eyebrows were a pair of eyes that revealed a calm and detached temperament.

He held a Buddhist staff in one hand, smiling slightly, with a kind of compassion and peace that made people forget the world.

But even such a special person had no one discovered his existence until he was mentioned by the emperor.

Hu Xiner would have been fine, but Mu Qing and Yin Li were both highly skilled in martial arts, yet they both missed such a living person.

The two of them couldn't help but be secretly on guard in their hearts.

Hu Xiner didn't think too much about it. She just thought that she was thinking about how to deal with the prince, so she didn't notice Master Xuantong.

She suddenly realized, "So today is the palace's traditional day for sermons?"

Although His Majesty is seeking immortals and asking for advice, his ultimate goal is to attain enlightenment and become an immortal, not to believe in a certain religion.

Therefore, Buddhism and Taoism are both very powerful today.

Guoan Temple is the most famous temple in the capital, and is presided over by the enlightened monk Master Xuantong.

On the fifteenth of every month, Master Xuantong would come to the palace to preach.

At this time, Master Xuantong chanted "Amitabha" and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please look, the lucky star is here."

"Oh?" The emperor initially thought the master was joking, but his expression turned serious. "Master, are you saying that one of these three is a lucky star?"

Master Xuantong shook his head: "There should be four of them."

This was a confusing statement, and Yin Li snorted and laughed, "Where did these four people come from? Could it be that there are ghosts in this world?"

Mu Qing and Hu Xin'er looked at each other, this master is not simple!

Sure enough, Master Xuantong did not get angry at Yin Li's offense. Instead, he smiled and said, "Isn't the lucky star in this female donor's belly?"

Yin Li laughed out loud: "You don't mean to say that Hu Xin'er is pregnant? Hahaha..."

He laughed a few times and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Mu Qing stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, my wife did indeed detect a pregnancy two days ago."

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Master Xuantong has always been very accurate in judging people. You two must protect the little lucky star in Hu Xin'er's belly."

Yin Li felt embarrassed and glared at Mu Qing fiercely.

This couple is really so ignorant! They didn't even tell him about such a major matter, causing him to lose such a big person and destroy the tall image he had established in the emperor's heart.

The prince stood behind the emperor, without saying a word, but took in the reactions of everyone in the room.

Master Xuantong laughed again and said, "This donor Lu is your Majesty's helper and will have a great influence on the court in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor was immediately overjoyed. Lucky stars were all things for the future, but Lu Yunjue was the prime minister he had his eyes on, and he was real and right in front of him.

He was delighted: "I have long seen Lu Yunjue's talent!"

Hearing that both the Emperor and Master Xuantong were praising Mu Qing highly, the smile on the Crown Prince's face froze slightly. He lowered his eyelids, his eyes filled with gloom.

It was like this again, even though he was the crown prince, and he knew how to act appropriately in front of everyone. Before Lu Yunjue appeared, everyone praised him, made him the center of attention, and regarded him as the most dazzling person under their father.

But once Lu Yunjue appears, he will take away all his glory.

Even his biological father loves Lu Yunjue very much!

The emperor pulled Mu Qing aside and talked to him very intimately. This scene deeply hurt the prince's eyes.

Master Xuantong walked towards Hu Xiner.

Hu Xin'er asked curiously, "How did the master know that I was pregnant?"

Master Xuantong said with a smile, "Don't disbelieve me, my lady donor. The auspicious energy in your womb is rising to the sky. This child has two mothers and one father, so he has the blessing of heaven and earth and an unparalleled destiny that cannot be ignored."

Hu Xin'er's heart skipped a beat. Two mothers and one husband? What does this mean?

Master Xuantong seemed to see through her thoughts and leaned in to whisper, "Don't worry, benefactor. You've been drawn into the river of time, retracing your past lives, because you have a personal entanglement, so it's been continued across millennia to untie the unresolved knot. Fortune and misfortune are all determined by fate. It's better to open your heart and face life with a smile."

The conversation was so mysterious that Hu Xiner didn't quite understand it. She only understood one thing.

That was Master Xuantong, who could actually tell that she had traveled through time, and seemed to know the reason why she had traveled through time!

Hu Xiner was so surprised that she was speechless. She subconsciously looked around, worried that this would be discovered by others.

In the eyes of the ancients, time travel is like resurrection through another's body!

Although the master said that she was traveling through past and present lives, if she revealed her secret in front of the emperor and the prince, she would be locked up as a monster even if she was not burned to death.

Fortunately, everyone was paying attention to the emperor, and only Yin Li was standing next to her.

So, she pulled Yin Li and said, "Did you hear what the master said just now?"

Yin Li nodded very calmly, as if he had known about this matter for a long time.

Hu Xin'er's face was filled with suspicion. This reaction was too strange, wasn't it? If she hadn't been so sure that no one knew about her time travel, she would have thought that the master had colluded with Yin Li to deceive her!

Master Xuantong kindly asked again, "Does the donor have a piece of jade?"

Hu Xiner did have a piece of Yunjue jade on her body. It was given to her by Mu Qing. She usually kept it carefully in her clothes and never showed it to anyone.

Hu Xiner immediately understood that she had met a true master!

She took out the jade respectfully and asked, "Is this the piece you are talking about, Master?"

Master Xuantong nodded and said, "This jade is very important to you. It will be of great use one day. You must take good care of it."

Then, he looked at Yin Li and said, "Please move aside, Pavilion Master Yin. I have a few words to say to you."
