Chapter 279: Can't Stay Anymore
"I have indeed met these two donors."
He lowered his head and looked very respectful, and there was nothing wrong with his attitude.
Baili Yunhe smiled: "You are the national teacher of Beiling Kingdom, and you are also treated as a distinguished guest by Nanqi. I have to say that you are really capable, Master."
The young man in front of him was obviously smiling.
But that smile did not reach his eyes.
There was also a cold murderous intent hidden.
How could the old abbot guess that he could meet old friends and relatives from Beiling Kingdom in a foreign country.
He remembered the regent princess, who had a stunning face that was unforgettable.
Who would have thought that now this woman not only married the regent king, but also had a brother who was the prince of Nanqi!
The old abbot lowered his eyebrows, hiding all his emotions, and his appearance was as kind and compassionate as ever.
"It is a coincidence that I can meet the prince again. The emperor once had some affinity with me, so I came here from thousands of miles away to preach Buddhism."
Baili Yunhe touched his chin, and there was no belief in his eyes that were like ice and snow.
"Master, you don't have to be hypocritical with me. As a monk, you lied to others. Aren't you ashamed of the Buddha?"
The old abbot was stunned, with a deep dark color hidden in his eyes.
He lowered his head and bowed, "Amitabha, there must be some misunderstanding between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the poor monk."
Baili Yunhe saw that this man was very tight-lipped. After saying so many things, he could not pry open the truth.
Even in his previous life, he was not familiar with this old abbot, because he did not come to Nanqi until three years later.
At that time, the old abbot had already left this place.
There were many strange things about this man. He even suspected that the reason why this old monk stayed in Beiling Kingdom for so many years was that he was planning a big conspiracy.
This conspiracy could even destroy the entire Beiling Kingdom.
Or maybe he was the culprit who pushed Xier's rough fate in the previous life.
Just because he said Xier was destined to be a phoenix, someone had set his sights on her fate and wanted to take her away, so he plotted against her and murdered her before she became the Crown Princess.
As a result, her fate was tampered with and
she was headed for death. Baili Yunhe wanted to get rid of this manipulator as soon as possible!
Baili Yunhe sat up straight, staring at the old abbot's eyes with burning eyes.
"Those guards in the back mountain of Liangshan Temple who escorted my mother and me to Beiling were also killed by you, the abbot."
The old abbot sighed, "A poor monk couldn't bear to step on an ant to death, how could he possibly do such a thing as taking someone's life?"
But Baili Yunhe didn't listen to him at all.
He continued, "I guess you killed those people because they recognized your identity. You were afraid that they would go back and tell others that you were hiding in Liangshan Temple, so you silenced them all."
"You said my sister had the fate of a phoenix, but you just wanted to stir up chaos in the royal family."
"You arranged for others to instigate my sister's fate, in order to subvert the royal family and use my sister as the most important chess piece to achieve your ultimate goal."
Baili Yunhe listed a series of crimes that the old abbot had committed over the years.
"I will not admit to anything that I have never done."
The old abbot was calm and did not show any emotion at all to what Baili Yunhe said.
This attitude made Baili Yunhe look up to him.
"I understand. I'm sorry to bother you today, Master. We'll see you another day."
Baili Yunhe was not angry. He stood up slowly and straightened his robe.
But just as he was about to step out of the hall, he suddenly smiled and said, "Master, you'd better never leave the Nanqi Palace, otherwise your safety may not be guaranteed." The
old abbot's heart tightened, and his eyes fell on the back of the young prince.
But he sensed a trace of danger.
He retracted his gaze, and his originally kind expression suddenly became a little cold: "Are you threatening me?"
His fingers almost subconsciously exerted force.
All the Buddhist beads in his hand fell to the ground, making a crackling sound.
Because the matter in Beiling Kingdom was exposed, he traveled thousands of miles to Nanqi Kingdom, but he didn't expect that the world is unpredictable and he met a more dangerous person.
It seems that he can't stay in Nanqi Kingdom anymore!
But he has been planning for so many years, and he can bring the Wei Chi family back to the peak again. The Emperor of Nanqi has also promised him to let him sit on the position of national teacher again and enjoy the glory he once had
. He is unwilling!
The disguise seems to be completely torn apart.
The originally kind and kind face now seems to hide a soul emitting strong malice. The expression of the old abbot now looks even weirder. He ignored the Buddhist beads scattered on the ground and turned to walk into the room.
Baili Yunhe returned to the East Palace and immediately wrote a letter.
After sealing the letter, he handed it to his subordinate.
"Help me deliver it to the Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiling Kingdom."
The snow was falling heavily, and the Prince Yan's Mansion was shrouded in a white curtain of snow.
The vermilion door was half-closed, and a thin layer of snow accumulated on the door ring.
A carriage stopped at the gate of the Prince Yan's Mansion.
Two figures got out of the carriage. One was an elderly woman wearing a brocade skirt, a cloak, and a hand warmer in her hands.
Another young woman supported her, carefully avoiding the heavy snow, walked to the door and knocked.
Soon, the door of the palace was opened, and two palace guards walked out of the door.
The two guards carried knives across their shoulders, and they looked at the two men with sharp eyes.
The young woman said quickly, "I am the aunt of the princess, and this is the old lady of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion. Go in and tell her."
Upon hearing the identities of the two people, one of the guards ran in immediately.
The other person did not dare to neglect them. After all, they were relatives of the princess, and they could not be left at the door to freeze. He took the initiative to make way and led the two to the living room of the palace.
There was a charcoal fire in the living room, and the warmth dispelled the cold. Seeing the servants in the mansion were so polite, Liu felt relieved.
"Mother, do you think An Yunxi will agree to help?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Du raised her chin slightly, and her eyes were somewhat confident.
"Even if she doesn't want to help, she has to help."
Seeing the old lady so tough, Liu felt a little relieved.
However, the two waited in the living room for nearly an hour, drinking tea one after another, but there was no sign of An Yunxi.
A maid came to add tea again.
Liu couldn't help it anymore and asked again: "Why hasn't your princess come out yet? The old lady and I have been waiting here for a long time!"
The maid said apologetically: "Maybe the princess is still busy. You two should be patient. I will go and urge her."
"What are you still standing there for? Go and urge her."
Liu drank a little too much tea.
She felt her stomach growling.
Even the old lady Du, who was still posing, felt her stomach rumbling.
Liu couldn't help it anymore. She quickly sat up from the chair and ran outside the living room. She asked with a pale face: "Hurry, take me to the toilet!"
