Jingzhong led his men to retreat, and the secret guards also retreated to their hiding places. It seemed that all of a sudden, only Emperor Xianzong and Imperial Master Chengguan were left in the bedroom.
Seeing that Emperor Xianzong was about to faint, Imperial Master Chengguan tried to ask him, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Can I be okay?" Emperor Xianzong asked the Imperial Preceptor.
The Imperial Master sighed. Her Royal Highness the Princess might still be fine at the moment, but neither he nor the Emperor would be fine.
Xianzong could not sit still, so he stood up and walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back. Then he felt his legs go weak, so he sat down on the couch again and said to Chengguan, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
What else could Imperial Master Chengguan say when he heard this question?
Xianzong looked at the national teacher with eyes full of expectation. He hoped that this was just a joke from the national teacher. Then he could continue to sleep. Tomorrow the sun would rise in the east, and it would be another beautiful day, haha.
Chengguan said: "Your Majesty, deceiving the emperor is a capital crime."
Xianzong immediately said, "I forgive you and you are innocent."
Master Chengguan...
The secret guards sighed in the dark. When you meet Princess Linglong, why do you still struggle? It turns out that the princess wanted to take a shortcut by jumping off the building with you. What's the big deal about killing the king and the father? The princess wants to kill the young master of the Eternal Life Temple! This is a real warrior.
Emperor Xianzong looked at Imperial Master Chengguan, shook his head, and said to him, "When the Queen gave birth to Linglong, I was always guarding outside the delivery room."
Chengguan said, "What does your Majesty mean?" They were discussing what to do with the Eternal Life Temple. What did this have to do with Princess Linglong's birth?
Xianzong said: "It is impossible that the child was taken away by mistake. Linglong is my daughter."
…
…
Imperial Master Chengguan wanted to fall down with the secret guards. Wasn't it too late to doubt whether the princess was her biological daughter now? Imperial Master looked at Emperor Xianzong and even wondered how he became the ruler of a country?
Xianzong was still talking to himself, saying, "I can't just ignore Linglong, what should I do?"
Imperial Master Chengguan said, "Your Majesty, should we gather the elders to discuss this matter?"
"No," Xianzong said decisively this time, "What if they are afraid of the Eternal Life Temple's revenge and ask me to hand over Linglong to the Eternal Life Temple for punishment? Linglong is my own daughter!"
The corner of the Imperial Master's mouth twitched. "I know that you are Princess Linglong's biological father, so there's no need for me to say this over and over again, right?"
Xianzong held his cheek with his hand and thought of a solution. Whether Fenglin Master died or not, Xianzong felt that it had nothing to do with him. He was not the father of this Master! The problem was what to do with his daughter? The queen gave birth to another son and died. Now he couldn't even find anyone to discuss things with!
Imperial Master Chengguan suggested, "Your Majesty, how about letting the princess leave the capital first?"
Xianzong laughed. His daughter was facing the Eternal Life Temple. Where could she go to avoid being associated with the Eternal Life Temple? "Grand Master, I suddenly discovered something," Xianzong said to Grand Master Chengguan.
"Your Majesty, what have you discovered?" Imperial Master Chengguan said this, but in his heart he was silently thinking, please don't tell me again that the princess was not taken away by mistake!
Xianzong said, "I suddenly realized that in this world, not only I, Fengtian, but also the five countries of Zhuri are also ministers of the Eternal Life Temple. Imperial Master, do you have this feeling? I am very confused now. Who does this world belong to?"
The secret guards have given up hope for their king. Imperial Master Chengguan is from the Eternal Life Temple. How smart must a person be to say this to someone from the Eternal Life Temple? Your Majesty, do you want to resist or not? Is there any difference between this and the princess trying to strangle Master Fenglin of the Eternal Life Temple?
Imperial Master Chengguan looked at Emperor Xianzong but was still speechless.
Emperor Xianzong also looked at Master Chengguan and suddenly said, "Haha, I remember now that the Master is also a high monk in the Yongsheng Temple."
Imperial Master Chengguan could no longer tolerate this fellow and blurted out to Emperor Xianzong: "Stop laughing! Your Majesty, please think about what to do!"
Xianzong said: "Is the Imperial Master angry? I felt the same way when I heard Linglong laughing like that."
…
…
The secret guards now felt that since the Imperial Master was now committing regicide, they could understand him.
"Huh," Imperial Master Chengguan exhaled, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Emperor Xianzong: "Your Majesty, you should call the adults to discuss it. This matter concerns the fate of Fengtian and the adults in the court should be informed."
Xianzong scratched his head and said, "Grand Master, did the Junior Master say anything?"
"What does His Majesty mean?"
"Did he say he wanted to kill Linglong?"
Master Chengguan shook his head and said, "No."
Xianzong said, "Master, do you know that Linglong is just having fun and is joking with him?"
Imperial Master Chengguan said, "Your Majesty, the princess not only strangled the young master's throat, but also seriously injured one of his monk followers."
Xianzong sighed and said, "Yes, I know that Master Shao is still poisoned."
Then what is the point of you saying all this nonsense now? Master Chengguan looked at Emperor Xianzong and wanted to get angry.
"Is there any evidence?" Emperor Xianzong asked Imperial Master Chengguan again.
Imperial Master Chengguan said: "The princess injured people and strangled the young master's throat. There were people who saw it."
"I don't think this is a big problem," Xianzong said.
Master Chengguan was shocked and asked, "Isn't this serious?"
Xianzong said: "Linglong has been insane since she was a child. I can ask the imperial physician to send the medical records to the Yongsheng Temple for the abbot to review."
Crazy?
Well, Imperial Master Chengguan and the secret guards all think that this is a valid reason. No one can argue with a madman, right?
Imperial Master Chengguan reminded Emperor Xianzong, "Your Majesty, the medical monks at the Eternal Life Temple are all highly skilled. If the abbot sends someone to see the princess, what will you do?"
Xianzong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that. I see Linglong is crazy every day."
Imperial Master Chengguan also wanted to laugh.
"This is what I think," Emperor Xianzong said to Imperial Preceptor Chengguan: "I think the poisoning of the young master is very serious. Imperial Preceptor, you said that this was also done by the princess, but I think this is impossible."
Imperial Master Chengguan said, "Your Majesty, do you not believe what I say?"
Xianzong said: "It's not that I don't trust the Imperial Master, but to change the soup secretly, and under the supervision of the experts around the Junior Master, I think this must be done by a brave, careful, intelligent and astute person."
"What does your Majesty mean?"
"I think Linglong is very brave, but she doesn't have the brains," Xianzong said seriously, "It is impossible that Linglong did this, unless the Junior Master has evidence to prove that Linglong did this. Imperial Master, does the Junior Master have this evidence?"
Imperial Master Chengguan thought about what Emperor Xianzong said for a long time, then he stammered, "Your Majesty means, yes, you want to..."
"I'm not trying to cheat," Xianzong said for the Imperial Master, "Linglong is my biological daughter, I know she can't do this," Xianzong pointed to his head and said to Imperial Master Chengguan, "Imperial Master, you have to believe that Linglong has never had a good brain."
