Chapter 326 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold Ascetic Monk 30
Xuanji followed Dugu Ye into the palace. The palace buildings along the way were even more exquisite, with carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent and resplendent, showing the royal style.
Although he is a monk, he can't help but be amazed at this moment.
But the purpose of his trip was not to see the scenery, but to find his life experience.
Dugu Ye walked in front, turned his head and looked at him with a half-smile, "The holy monk seems to be very interested in the architecture of the palace?"
For some reason, even though it was the first time for the two of them to meet, he strangely disliked this monk.
I can’t explain the reason, but I feel disgusted from the bottom of my heart when I see this person.
I'm so disgusted that I can't help but want to do something cruel.
This feeling was inexplicable even to him.
In the end, it can only be attributed to the incompatibility between the two.
Xuanji's intuition was sharp, and he could sense that the prince in front of him didn't like him.
He felt strange in his heart and wondered if he had offended the other person in any way, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember it.
Because he could see that the other party did not like him, he spoke very cautiously, "The poor monk entered the palace for the first time, and his knowledge was shallow, which made His Royal Highness laugh."
"No, the holy monk is too modest. "Although this palace is large, it has its own unique features. If the holy monk is willing, I can take the holy monk around."
Dugu Ye spoke very politely, but there was a flash of deepness in his eyes. Play with it.
Xuanji came here to explore his life experience. He didn't want to cause any trouble, so he politely declined.
"The poor monk understands His Highness the Prince's kindness. It's just that I have important matters to attend to, so it's inconvenient for me to stay longer. Please forgive me, His Highness the Prince."
Hearing this, Dugu Ye also didn't respond. He insisted and just smiled, "In that case, I won't disturb the holy monk anymore. My father has been waiting in the imperial study for a long time. Please come with me, holy monk."
As he said that, he turned around and led the way. Xuanji followed closely behind.
The two passed through many palace doors and finally arrived in front of the imperial study. Dugu Ye opened the door and made an invitation gesture, "Holy Monk, please come in."
Xuanji stepped into the imperial study and saw a middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back, his back to them and facing the window.
It was Emperor Xuanwu of the Yu Dynasty, Dugu Che.
Hearing the footsteps, Emperor Xuanwu turned around, revealing a majestic and handsome face.
If you look carefully, you will find that his facial features are somewhat similar to Xuan Ji's and Dugu Ye's.
“The poor monk Xuanji has met the emperor.”
Xuanji clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute.
Emperor Xuanwu looked Xuanji up and down, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, "You are indeed a talented person, worthy of being an eminent monk of Wanfo Temple. I heard that your Dharma is profound, and I specially summoned you to the palace. I hope you can explain it to me. Confused.” I don’t dare to pretend to be profound. If the emperor has any questions, I am willing to try my best to answer them.”
Emperor Xuanwu nodded, “I want to ask you, everything in the world has cause and effect. What is it? "
Xuanji's heart moved. This question seemed simple, but it was actually profound.
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country and the lord of all people, your cause and effect is the well-being of the people in the world. Every word and deed you make is related to the rise and fall of the country and the safety of the people. "
When Emperor Xuanwu heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, " So, what should I do to benefit the people of the world?” Get blessings."
After hearing his words, Emperor Xuanwu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he raised his head and took a deep look at Xuanji, "I will keep your words in mind. I called you into the palace today because I wanted you to help me clear up my doubts. But you didn't. I think you have solved the knot in my heart for many years, and I will reward you heavily.”
Xuanji hurriedly said: "The emperor's words are serious. The poor monk just performed his duties as a monk. It is really difficult for the poor monk to obey the rewards."
"Haha, the eminent monk is indifferent to fame and wealth, and does not value worldly things. , I admire you very much."
Emperor Xuanwu smiled without forcing it, and said: "However, if the eminent monk has other requests, just say so."
Xuanji. Hearing this, thinking about his life experience, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he bowed slightly, "Is there really something that the poor monk needs help from the emperor?"
"Oh? I don't know what the eminent monk needs my help with, but he said No problem.”
Emperor Xuanwu's eyes flashed with curiosity and he couldn't help but ask.
Dugu Ye was at the side. He glanced at Xuan Ji with his deep eyes, and he was also curious about what was going on with him.
Maybe it has something to do with the other party's sudden appearance in the capital.
Faced with the emperor's questioning, Xuanji pondered for a moment and then said: "I heard that twenty years ago, Concubine Min had a personal maid named Yun Yan. The poor monk wanted to find her. I wonder if the emperor knows where she is. ?" He did not reveal that he was the child that Yun Yan took out of the palace.
When Emperor Xuanwu heard him mention Concubine Min, his originally indifferent expression became extremely serious, and even the smile on his face faded away.
Looking closely at Xuan Ji, he looked up and down, as if he wanted to see something on his face.
Xuanji was not frightened, his face was as calm as water, and he allowed Emperor Xuanwu to look at him.
Dugu Ye listened quietly to the side. Concubine Min was the woman that his father loved most in his life. Unfortunately, she died in childbirth, and even the newborn prince was missing.
My father was depressed for a long time because of this. He even wanted to become a monk and became a monk. From then on, he always accompanied the ancient Buddha Qing Deng.
Fortunately, my grandmother persuaded me in the end. Although my father did not become a monk, he was still sad for a long time, and it was not until a long time later that he came out.
This matter was taboo in the entire harem of the previous dynasty, and almost no one dared to mention the words 'Concubine Min' in front of the father.
"What are you looking for Yunyan for?"
Emperor Xuanwu looked at Xuanji with a hint of caution in his tone. Concubine Min and the missing emperor had always been a pain in his heart.
At this time, when he heard the other party mention Concubine Min and the concubine's personal maid, he naturally couldn't keep calm.
Xuanji kept the peace of a monk, clasped his hands, and said: "The poor monk was once favored by Yun Yan. This time he came to Beijing to find her and repay his kindness."
Emperor Xuanwu's eyes flashed. After a moment of doubt, but quickly recovered Calmly, he said calmly: "Yunyan has left the palace a long time ago, and I don't know where she is at the moment."
Duguye was observing from the side. Although he had no reason to dislike this monk, he was also interested in his purpose. .
He clearly remembered that when he was a child, he overheard the palace maids discussing privately about the allergic concubine and the missing prince, which seemed to be related to Yunyan.
At this moment, Xuanji suddenly mentioned Yunyan, forcing him to connect the two things together.
He even suspected that Xuan Ji was the prince who was taken away by Yun Yan.
"Oh? The eminent monk has received the kindness of Yun Yan?"
Duguye interjected with a smile but not a smile, "I wonder what kind of kindness the eminent monk can never forget so much?"
Xuanji turned to look at Dugu Ye, his eyes were deep and peaceful, as if he could see into people's hearts, "The kindness in the world , no matter how big or small, we should keep it in mind. Donor Yunyan saved the poor monk, so the poor monk naturally came to look for her."
Dugu Ye's red lips were slightly raised, his eyes were playful, and he slowly approached. Xuanji whispered: "If Gu can help you find Yunyan, how can the eminent monk repay you?"
Xuanji smiled slightly, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, if His Highness the Prince can help the poor monk find Yunyan, the poor monk is willing to pray for His Highness the Prince and bless you with a safe and smooth life."
Dugu Ye chuckled, he wanted to Of course, these illusory blessings were not what he wanted. He just wanted to take this opportunity to see what the monk's purpose was.
Is he really the son of Concubine Min as he guessed?
"Okay, then I will try to help you find this Yunyan."
Dugu Ye smiled charmingly and turned to Emperor Xuanwu for instructions, "Father, I am willing to do this for you. An eminent monk looks for Yunyan to understand the kindness in his heart."
Emperor Xuanwu looked at the two people in front of him. Although he was full of doubts, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see what secrets were hidden behind them.
He nodded, "Since Ye'er is willing to help, then go ahead."
Duguye received his father's permission, turned to Xuanji and said, "Senior monk, please be in the palace. Stay here for a few days and wait for news about Gu.”
Then we arranged to stay in a secluded courtyard of the palace.
The East Palace at night was shrouded in a layer of mysterious silence, and the palace walls cast long black shadows under the moonlight.
In the study room, the candlelight flickered, and Dugu Ye stood in front of the window, with a thoughtful look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, according to your instructions, we have sent people to look for Yunyan."
Yunyin quietly appeared behind Duguye and whispered respectfully.
Dugu Ye nodded slightly, but did not look back, "How is the secret guard's investigation of Xuanji going?"
"Back to Your Highness, I already have some clues."
Yun Yin said this, carefully glanced at the prince in front of him, and said in an anxious voice: "According to the report of the secret guard below, Xuanji is indeed a senior monk of Wanfo Temple. , but they have a close relationship with Miss Yu. The two even have a pair of twins, who were born half a year ago and are the Widow Yu who His Highness met in Lianhua County."
"What did you say?"
Dugu Ye turned around suddenly, looking extremely shocked.
