Only after this voice was heard did someone come out from behind the Buddha statue.
"Long Er, do you think I did something wrong?" Long Musi walked to the front of the Buddha statue and looked at the heavy rain outside.
If he had less desire for power, Aze's answer would not be "I loved her before", but "I have always loved her".
In that case, there would be no royal brother involved, and it would only be him and Aze.
"I don't know." Long Er shook his head when he heard his master's question.
Not to mention what his master's choice was, even if there was right or wrong, it was not his place to judge.
"Forget it. In the final analysis, it's just that I was obsessed with it." Long Musi sighed and didn't pursue the matter any further.
Perhaps he also understood that even if he had the chance to do it again, he would still make the same choice as before, just like his royal brother has now been kicked out of the competition for the throne.
If it were him, he might not be able to do what the emperor did. He was the one who let go first, and it was useless to regret it now.
"I have heard that Lord Xu had an argument with His Royal Highness the King of Virtue in the palace a few days ago." Long Er raised his head and looked at his master tentatively.
"Let them solve their own problems. Even if Aze and the emperor part ways on bad terms, I will have no chance." Long Musi was not interested in what Long Er said.
Just as Aze understands him, he also understands Aze. It is a great blessing that they can still have a lot of friendship like now.
Even if he wanted more, he would not have the chance.
"Master Xu, please stay."
Xu Tianze and the eldest princess were about to get on the carriage, but when they heard the sound, they turned around and saw the abbot standing in the rain.
"Master, you've asked me to stay despite the rain, but is there anything I can help you with?" Xu Tianze nodded to the eldest princess, then got off the carriage and went to greet the master.
Not to mention anything else, just considering the convenience given to him by the host, if there is anything, he will still be helped if he can.
"Amitabha, I am fine. I just have an appointment with an old friend." The host chanted the Buddha's name and bowed to the eldest princess in the carriage.
Xu Tianze lowered the curtain when the princess nodded, then turned back to look at the host: "Host, please don't say that Master Yun has returned from his travels."
Master Le Yun always said that he wanted to travel around, but he only really traveled when the Xu family got into trouble. The subsequent travels were just child's play.
He would come back from traveling when there was something to do, and would go traveling again when there was nothing to do. Xu Tianze had long guessed that Master Yun was hiding somewhere.
Then, depending on the situation in the capital, he would come out and hang out from time to time.
The host heard the sarcasm in Xu Tianze's words and felt a little embarrassed, even though Yun had already separated from Xiangguo Temple a long time ago.
But anyone who understands knows that the relationship between Jiuluoyun and Xiangguo Temple is inextricably linked and cannot be severed easily.
"Donor Xu, Liaoyun is gone, and his old friend has found someone else." The abbot calmed his thoughts and turned around to lead Xu Tianze.
Xu Tianze was originally speaking in a joking tone, but seeing that the host was serious, he had some guesses in his mind. He turned around and whispered a few words to the eldest princess, then followed the host.
They walked in silence all the way until they reached the gate of a courtyard. The abbot chanted a Buddhist name to Xu Tianze and left on his own.
Xu Tianze looked at the courtyard with a strange expression, because this courtyard was the one where he met Lu Yun, Long Musi and others at the beginning.
"Amitabha, this humble monk greets Mr. Xu." Just as Xu Tianze was about to push the door open, the door opened and the voice of the little monk was heard.
Xu Tianze froze when he heard the voice, then looked at the little monk who opened the door for him, and then turned around and prepared to leave.
He shouldn't have come. If he had known that Xu An was here, he would not have been nice to the host at all.
"Uncle, wait a moment, your nephew has something to tell you." Xu An became anxious when he saw Xu Tianze turn around and leave.
He had completely forgotten all the Buddhist etiquette he had learned in the past two years. Now he just wanted to stop his uncle.
"You've got the wrong person. I'm not your uncle." Xu Tianze looked at Xu An who was blocking his way with indifference in his eyes.
At the beginning, he felt guilty for not protecting Xu An in time. Later, he was angry at Xu An for not fighting for his life because Xu An wanted to become a monk and cut off the Xu family bloodline.
But now, he didn't want to see this child at all, because this child was the bait thrown by Xu Li, the bait to lure Xu Tianze to live a miserable life and follow their plan.
So Xu Tianze hated her, but after feeling the hatred, he remembered the sincerity of his elder brother Xu Jixue towards him and the constant care of his elder sister-in-law.
The double impact made him not want to face Xu An at all. As for whether the Xu family would be extinct, it was just empty talk.
It depends on whether Song Yu is now or Qing Yuan. Every move and every set of tactics, Xu Li had already made all the arrangements, so how could there be no bloodline left?
"Uncle, An'er was wrong." Seeing that his uncle was unmoved, Xu An knew that he had gone too far when his uncle first came back.
He knelt down in front of his uncle, his tender shoulders slumped. "Uncle, if you want to beat me or scold me, An'er is willing to endure it. Please forgive me, uncle."
In Xu Tianze's eyes, which could not see, there was already a lot of regret. He initially resented his uncle for abandoning him, and after hearing some rumors, he resented his uncle for making him lose his home.
It was not until his master finally told him about the Xu family and the Zhenguo Mansion because he didn't want him to live in hatred anymore that he realized that he had wronged his uncle.
Later, he went to see King Jing again, and only then did he realize how heartbroken his uncle was after his disappearance, and how eager he was to find him.
When he understood all this, it seemed like everything was too late. He didn't even dare to face his uncle. It was not until he happened to see his uncle appear in Xiangguo Temple today that he begged the abbot to help him.
"Xu An, your uncle is the Duke of Zhenguo, and you also have an uncle who lives in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. They are all blood relatives of yours, but I am not."
Xu Tianze lowered his head and looked down at the child in front of him, his eyes full of complexity: "Don't call me uncle from now on. You and I are just strangers. As for what you said about me causing you to have no home, that is also an indisputable fact."
If Song Yu had not had any evil intentions in the end, and let that group of people get what they want by accident, perhaps the Xu family would have only been exiled.
It was his fault at the root of the problem, and he ended up in trouble.
"No, you are my uncle. My uncle is only Xu Tianze, no one else. There was no one before, no one now, and no one in the future." Xu An raised his head with tears in his eyes, and he groped his way forward.
"It was my nephew who was ignorant and hurt my uncle's heart. My nephew has no home, but he forgot that he still has his uncle. But since my uncle has no home, I am all alone."
As Xu An spoke, his eyes were red and his childish voice was filled with sorrow and sadness.
