Chapter 317 The Abbot's True Face

"An Yunze?"

Baili Yunhe was obviously stunned for a moment.

Then his expression was a little dazed.

"Did Xier give you the surname An?"

An Yunze nodded slightly.

"The princess is kind and kind. When she found out that I didn't have a name, she gave me one."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Baili Yunhe's mouth.

"It seems that she thinks of you as a brother."

This made An Yunze's expression change a little, but he didn't feel complacent about it. Instead, he said, "It may be because the princess misses your highness."

This made Baili Yunhe chuckle, and his eyes looked less alienated when he looked at An Yunze.

"It's getting late. Since you want to see your master, go back to the palace to see him now."

Baili Yunhe is also a man of thunder and lightning.

Since he had already promised An Yunze to let him meet the abbot, he should fulfill this promise as soon as possible.

Even An Yunze was a little surprised. He didn't expect to be able to meet his master so smoothly.

If he went to find the old abbot himself, he might not be able to enter the gate of the palace. He could only stay quietly in the capital and wait for the old abbot to leave the palace.

But this day is far away.

The old abbot has been living very steadily in the Nanqi Palace these days.

The things he brought back are enough for him to restore the former glory of the Wei Chi family. In addition, the snow disaster has made the Emperor of Nanqi pay attention to him again.

Now the imperial edict to confer the title of National Master has been issued, but because the National Master's Mansion has not been prepared yet, he still lives in the palace.

There was a knock on the door. In the middle of the night, the voice of a young eunuch came from outside the door.

"Master Wei Chi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to the East Palace for a talk."

"Crown Prince?"

The old master's expression suddenly became gloomy, and even his fingers tightened involuntarily.

For such a long time, because he was in the palace, the new crown prince had not come to trouble him.

But he was about to leave the palace, and Master Wei Chi was not sure whether the other party would do as he said, and would attack him as soon as he left the palace.

He was indeed able to tell fortunes for people, but now he was old, and the backlash accumulated over the years. If he forcibly used the Xuanmen magic again, he would inevitably suffer a more serious backlash, and it was even possible that he would be killed by this calculation.

It is not that people in the Xuanmen sect can spy on the secrets of heaven and reveal the secrets of heaven without paying a price, but he used some evil things to transfer more of the price to others.

The eunuch outside the door was still waiting. Wei Chi Guoshi walked around the room many times before he pushed open the door and walked out.

After all, this is the imperial palace. I guess Baili Yunhe dare not do anything to him.

"I will go there now."

The eunuch led the way. The last time Baili Yunhe had just entered the palace not long ago, he had to come in person to see him, but now the status has been reversed, and it is his turn to come to the East Palace to see Baili Yunhe.

The silent reversal of the home court has proved the change in Baili Yunhe's status in the palace.

As more and more people secretly support him, even though he has no overt power, he has already formed a considerable force behind the scenes.

Passing through the winding path paved with bluestone in the East Palace, he came all the way to the magnificent and bright main hall. Even though it was late at night, the place was still brightly lit.

The guards in the East Palace were extremely strict, and National Master Wei Chi did not dare to make the slightest movement.

When he came to the main hall, he was about to salute the person sitting above, but suddenly he realized that there was someone standing in front of the hall.

The man was wearing a black robe, with white hair like snow, and was staring at him with a pair of light-colored pupils.

National Master Wei Chi froze in his place while saluting, and there was a bit of gloom in his eyes.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and bowed to Baili Yunhe above him, saying, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Baili Yunhe slowly raised his hands.

"Master, please stand up and give me a seat."

A little eunuch immediately brought a chair to his side.

The old master was not polite either, and sat aside with a normal expression, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me so late at night?"

Baili Yunhe curled his lips, "It's not you I'm looking for, but this one."

An Yunze took a step forward and stood directly in front of the old master.

The shadow of the old abbot was reflected in his light-colored pupils.

After walking for so long and looking for someone for so long, An Yunze felt mixed emotions at this moment.

"Master, do you still remember Huixin?"

The old national master's eyes darkened, and then said: "Didn't the master leave you a letter, asking you not to come?"

An Yunze did not mention these, but asked directly: "Senior Brother Huijing, did you kill him?"

The old national master's eyes showed a bit of confusion: "You kid, what are you talking about? Didn't the master let your senior brother Huijing go back to the temple? Not long after leaving the palace, Huijing had already separated from the master."

The old national master was still the same, showing that he knew nothing about everything.

An Yunze's eyes became a little colder, and his fingers secretly clenched into a fist under his robe, but the fist was shaking slightly.

Although the master denied it, he was not stupid. After Huijing died, the master ran to the Southern Qi Kingdom and still had such an identity. He used to be a little skeptical of this answer, but after seeing the master's attitude today, his doubts deepened.

In front of him was the master who raised him since he was a child. If it weren't for him, he would be an orphan and helpless child, and he would have died long ago. With this life-saving grace, he would never hurt the other party, so he fell into passivity everywhere.

"National Master, don't pretend to be a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. As the head of the Wei Chi family, you killed hundreds of people in the past, if not a thousand, but only one Huijing."

Baili Yunhe's voice suddenly came from the front, and the old national master who was pretending to be compassionate frowned slightly.

Baili Yunhe ignored his expression, stood up from the chair, and walked to the two of them with his hands behind his back: "I found out through some people around my father that you went to Beiling with a secret. On the surface, you broke with the late emperor, but in fact you wanted to make up for your mistakes and do something big."

His words made the old national teacher's heart startled, but his cloudy eyes did not change at all.

Baili Yunhe knew that what he said would not have any impact on him, and the reason he mentioned it now was to tell Huixin.

"Brother Yunze, he is not as good a person as you think. Although he raised you, he just wants to use you as a pawn. Don't be fooled by his appearance."

An Yunze pursed his lips and said nothing. His eyes were already looking at the old national teacher, as if he wanted to get an answer from him.

The old national teacher was silent for a long time, but suddenly smiled bitterly.

"I admit that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true. I have indeed committed serious sins, but..."
