Upon hearing the emperor's words, Song Xizhi followed his gaze and saw a familiar face.
It was the old man who rescued her and the mysterious man in the cave at noon.
He was actually the legendary Master Yuanhui?
As Song Xizhi recalled their conversation in the cave that morning, his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
Master Yuanhui spent more than ten years at Heyan Mountain, and Madam Xin had previously said that His Highness the Crown Prince was sent to Baima Temple to practice when he was young.
Therefore, Master Yuanhui had known His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and their relationship was even quite close.
The encounter in the cave today may not have been a coincidence at all, but rather a deliberate act of rescue by Master Yuanhui.
Song Xizhi's eyes darkened slightly as he thought of this.
So her guess was correct; the mysterious man was undoubtedly the Crown Prince. But the way he did those things to her, the way his movements were so practiced…
Not only was Song Xizhi shocked, but everyone present was surprised by the appearance of Master Yuanhui. Their eyes met, each with its own thoughts, but no one dared to make a move.
Why did Master Yuanhui, who had been in seclusion for so many years, suddenly appear at this critical juncture?
It should be noted that before the Fengshan ceremony, His Majesty and Empress Dowager visited Baima Temple, but failed to meet Master Yuanhui and returned empty-handed.
That's why the news of Master Yuanhui's passing spread like wildfire, and Consort Liang had Lady Zhao go to great lengths to find a Buddhist scripture that he had personally copied, hoping to use it to gain the possibility of temporarily taking over the Empress's regalia.
Prince Yu was lost in thought, but at the very end, he seemed to suddenly understand something, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
He coughed lightly, his expression returning to seriousness, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that Song Xizhi is truly unlucky, which is why even Master Yuanhui has been alarmed?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingshu felt as if even God was helping him.
He concealed his ecstatic expression and hurriedly said, "The strange phenomena in the sky, the collapse of mountains and the cracking of the earth, are all caused by Song Xi, and have even affected Baima Temple."
"I suppose Master Yuanhui came here for this reason as well. Now that there are three pieces of evidence to prove that Song Xizhi is a monster among monsters, then we must sacrifice her to the heavens!"
After Zhao Qingshu finished speaking, he knelt down heavily: "Your Majesty! Please do not hesitate! Punish this monster severely!"
His words were highly persuasive, causing the other senior officials to exchange glances and hurriedly say, "Your Majesty! Please do not hesitate any longer!"
But at that moment, Master Yuanhui suddenly stepped forward and stopped the ministers from speaking.
He instructed the two envoys who were holding Song Xizhi captive: "Release her."
Everyone was taken aback.
But Master Yuanhui's eyes remained calm: "I have come here today because of the unusual phenomenon."
Zhao Qingshu narrowed his eyes, appearing completely calm and composed.
"But it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing."
Master Yuanhui continued, "The earth shook and the mountains trembled, which means that the dragon vein of Heyan Mountain has awakened at this moment. This also means that the two true dragon emperors of the Great Qian Dynasty are on Heyan Mountain at this moment."
"Song Xizhi saved so many people, and her merits are immeasurable. She is the opportunity for the dragon vein to awaken. She is the guardian of the dragon vein and an indispensable part of the great cause."
After Master Yuanhui finished speaking, the entire tent was almost completely silent.
The two envoys who had been holding Song Xizhi back to their senses suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly released Song Xizhi's hands.
After all, even in Tibet, they respected this highly virtuous monk, and none of his prophecies came true.
When Song Xizhi heard Master Yuanhui's words, he was truly shocked.
However, she didn't have time to think too much. Finally, she got her chance and rushed out without hesitation to continue the rescue that she hadn't finished with the saintess.
The tent was quiet, and everyone turned to look at Song Xizhi's focused face.
Even the emperor's eyes narrowed sharply. He glanced at Master Yuanhui questioningly, then turned to scrutinize Song Xizhi's direction.
"Two true emperors? That means the next emperor of the Great Gan Dynasty is also on Heyan Mountain right now?" Prime Minister Lin's expression changed as if he had just thought of something, and he stammered.
Upon hearing this, the ministers exchanged glances, speechless with shock, their minds racing with a myriad of thoughts.
Only Su Shaoyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head and grinned: "Hehehe, my granddaughter is the guardian deity of the dragon vein?"
Master Yuanhui nodded: "Yes, Song Xizhi is the guardian deity of the dragon vein."
Su Shaoyuan shrugged smugly, his gaze sweeping over the officials beside him: "I knew it! I knew my granddaughter was no ordinary person!"
Upon hearing Master Yuanhui's confident words, Prince Yu and Zhao Qingshu exchanged a glance, their faces turning completely pale.
Master Yuanhui had been in seclusion for so long, and now that he has emerged from seclusion, it is actually to make an exception for Song Xizhi?
And Song Xizhi, that despicable person, actually became the guardian deity of some dragon vein?
Seeing their pale faces, Su Mingli sneered and got up from the ground: "So, just now, Lord Luo, Lord Zhao, and His Highness Prince Yu were slandering the guardian deity of the Great Gan Dragon Vein?"
"If it weren't for His Majesty's wisdom, you would be the guardians of the Great Gan Dynasty, and you would be the ones who have harmed the country and its people!"
Upon hearing this, the emperor also looked intently in the direction of Lord Luo: "What exactly is going on?"
"Your speculation is completely contrary to Master Yuanhui's words, and it almost killed the guardian deity of the Great Dragon Vein!"
Upon hearing this, Lord Luo's Adam's apple bobbed, his lips trembled as he opened and closed his mouth, and he knelt down, completely bewildered.
