“Don’t ask,” said Master Chengguan.
Xianzong asked, "What happened to the host master?"
Imperial Master Chengguan looked at Emperor Xianzong and said, "What I mean is that Your Majesty should not ask about the matter of the Eternal Life Temple."
Xianzong said, "Is it okay if I don't ask now? Imperial Master, tell me, did Wuhuan come to my Fengtian to play?"
Imperial Master Chengguan began to clean up the chessboard.
Xianzong pressed Chengguan's hand and said, "Grand Master, I heard that you and Wuhuan were at odds in the Yongsheng Temple. Is that true?"
"Eternal Life Temple," Imperial Master Chengguan laughed bitterly and said, "Did Chen Qi Chen Mie get killed by Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Xianzong quickly shook his head and said, "How could Linglong kill someone? These two monks should be in Wuhuan's hands now."
"What else did the princess say to His Majesty?"
"What can that girl say?" Xianzong said, "She told me not to worry about the affairs of the Eternal Life Temple, but now the two disciples of the abbot have arrived in Fengtian, how can I not worry about it?"
Master Chengguan smiled and said, "Whether it is a blessing or a curse, since we cannot avoid it, we should just accept it."
Xianzong was tired of talking to this group of monks. After talking for a long time, it was like saying nothing! "Grandmaster, what do you think I have to endure?" Xianzong asked.
"Let's watch the show," Imperial Master Chengguan said to Emperor Xianzong, "What does the Eternal Life Temple have to do with Your Majesty?"
"Ah?" Xianzong said, "What about Linglong poisoning Wen Fenglin? Linglong also injured several people around Wen Fenglin. These have nothing to do with me?"
"Wuhuan and the young master are in the same city," Imperial Master Chengguan pulled his hand out from under Emperor Xianzong's hand and whispered, "Master Host is more willing to believe that the young master was poisoned by Wuhuan."
Xianzong was happy and had nothing else to do.
However, National Master Chengguan frowned.
Xianzong stood up and said, "Then you continue playing chess, Imperial Master. I am going to rest now."
Before Imperial Master Chengguan could get up to see him off, Emperor Xianzong had already left the house. By the time Imperial Master reached the outside, Emperor Xianzong had already sat on the sedan chair and was heading to which concubine's palace he was staying.
"Let all the ministers in the Imperial Study Room disperse," Xianzong ordered while sitting on his sedan chair. "We will discuss tonight's matter at the morning court tomorrow."
A eunuch received the order and ran to the imperial study.
The group walked towards Hua Fei's Xiangyun Palace.
When Concubine Hua received the news that the emperor was coming to her, she hurriedly dressed up with the help of the palace maids, and went out of the palace with the palace maids and eunuchs from Xiangyun Palace to welcome Emperor Xianzong.
Emperor Xianzong saw Concubine Hua standing in front of the Xiangyun Palace, but then he remembered something and said to the eunuch carrying the sedan chair, "Forget it, let's go to the study."
Concubine Hua watched helplessly as Emperor Xianzong approached her and then left, without even sending a servant to say a word to her. Concubine Hua was shocked and angry. Since entering the palace as a concubine, Emperor Xianzong had never made her so humiliated!
Xianzong didn't care about his woman's face now. While walking on the road, he ordered people to go to his private treasury and get a box of silver ingots for him. When he arrived at the upper study, he ordered the palace servants to go to the palace and call Yu Xiaoxiao out.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the box of silver, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she said, "Is this for me?"
Xianzong said, "You are already married, and you still want me to support you? Give this to the friend you met tonight."
Yu Xiaoxiao stood still. Did she know where Wuhuan lived?
Xianzong said, "If you break someone else's things, you have to pay for them with a new one. Do you understand?"
Yu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "I gave him a mask as compensation."
Xianzong stroked his forehead, patted the armrest of the sedan chair and shouted, "Are cloth and silver the same thing? Hurry up and get here! Hurry up!"
At this time, in a small courtyard in the north of the capital, a monk walked into a small room carrying a pot of hot water, poured hot water into the teapot on the table, and said respectfully: "Master, the water is ready, please have a drink."
"Jing Mo lives in Deyi Winery?" Wuhuan asked.
The monk nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that the eldest prince has repeatedly postponed the date of his return to the country, but I don't know why."
"Which prince of Fengtian did he choose as a hostage? The seventh prince?" Wuhuan asked again.
"It's the Sixth Prince Yu Ziming," the monk replied.
Then Yu Linglong was not trying to please him for the sake of the hostage, but to please Jing Mo. Wu Huan said, "Hmm," and said, "I understand. You can go down."
The monk glanced at the teacup which was still full of water, lowered his head and walked out.
Wuhuan sat under the lamp and drank a cup of hot tea. He watched the flickering candlelight for a while before he got up, left the cottage and walked towards the backyard.
Chenqi, Chenmie woke up from his coma and found himself lying on a cold and damp brick floor. Water dripped from the bricks above his head, making the stone house seem like it was drizzling. Even the air was chilly.
Chen Qi Chen Mian was unable to speak or move. He could only look at a white candle lit on the opposite wall. The light was only as big as a bean and could only illuminate a pitifully small area.
I don’t know how long I waited, but the stone door was pushed open from the outside. Chen Qi Chen Mie saw Wu Huan, wearing a wooden mask, walking in.
Wuhuan looked at the two monks from the Eternal Life Temple who were thrown to the ground casually by his men, and flicked his sleeves.
The wind blew up dust, and the dust disappeared from their throats, which blocked their mute throats. After the two people coughed several times, they were able to make sounds again.
"You shouldn't have come," Chen Qi said to Wuhuan after he was able to speak.
"Why did Fenglin come to Fengtian?" Wuhuan asked.
Chen Mie said: "Only Young Master himself knows this."
"Did Mo Wen ask him to come, or did he want to come on his own?" Wu Huan asked.
Chen Qi said, "The host ordered the young master to come."
"Don't Fenglin know that he will die if he leaves the Temple of Eternal Life?" Wuhuan asked in a cold voice.
"Wuhuan," Chenmie leaned against the wall and looked at Wuhuan and said, "If the young master died, would the abbot let you go? You can't be the young master of the Eternal Life Temple, so you are the national master of Zhuri. The abbot has not treated you unfairly. Why do you have to complain and hate? You are the disciple raised by the abbot himself, don't you know how to be grateful at all?"
A dull laugh came from behind the wooden mask. Wu Huan said while laughing, "Thank you? I am neither human nor ghost now. Who should I be grateful to?"
Chen Qi Chen Mie looked at Wuhuan, who was still wearing a black robe. They remembered how young and handsome Wuhuan was back then. The candlelight cast a heavy shadow on the wooden mask. Wuhuan now was just like the shadow outside the light, gloomy and cold, no longer the same as before.
"Wu Huan," Chen Qi moved his eyes to the side and stopped looking at Wu Huan and said, "Are you going to be an enemy of the Eternal Life Temple? If you kill the Young Master, the Master can accept new disciples, and the Eternal Life Temple will still have a new Young Master. Have you become stupid after leaving the Eternal Life Temple?"
Wuhuan kicked Chenqi.
Chenmie shouted, "Wuhuan!"
Wuhuan kicked a hole in Chenqi's chest, and his bright red heart fell out of his body. It beat slightly on the ground for a while before slowly stopping on the bloody bricks.
"You," Chenmie glared at Wuhuan.
Wuhuan stepped on Chenmie's chest, and the eyes behind the wooden mask were filled with deep hatred.
