Chapter 642: Chapter 642: The True and Fake Monk

No, to be exact, there were two.

At this moment, Li Wenli also joined the eating and drinking group, and both of them ate earnestly as if they were in a place where no one else existed.

It was one thing for Bai Junjun, but Li Wenli also ate with the appetite of a Gluttonous Monster, and yet he did so with particular elegance and gentlemanliness, just like a debonair young master appreciating fine tea.

Wenren Pingting watched, absorbed and unthinkingly mesmerized.

It was then that Yuwen Luanfei strode into the hall from outside.

He looked at the young people in the hall and smiled broadly.

"What brings Junjun Girl here to find me this time?"

Bai Junjun stuffed the last lychee into her mouth, and while they were not paying attention, she tossed half of the seed into her space before gracefully standing up and greeting Yuwen Luanfei with a bow.

"Your Highness, I have an urgent matter to report to you, it’s of great importance. I kindly ask for a private word with you."

Yuwen Luanfei suspected nothing out of the ordinary and directly invited the two of them to his study.

Wenren Pingting hesitated whether she should follow, at which point Yuwen Luanfei turned back and said to her, "Pingting, come along."

Wenren Pingting was touched by Yuwen Luanfei’s trust in her, and at the same time, she felt a pang of shame for having been so captivated by Li Wenli.

After composing her emotions for a moment, Wenren Pingting followed Yuwen Luanfei to the study.

This was the most central and also the safest location in the Prince’s Mansion.

After all, many of Yuwen Luanfei’s official duties were resolved here.

As Yuwen Luanfei entered the study, his demeanor was still relaxed and easygoing, clearly not believing that Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had any serious matters to talk about.

However, these two straightforward individuals did not beat around the bush and began to speak directly about state affairs.

"To be honest, yesterday we discovered a huge secret in Fahua Temple, and after much deliberation, we decided we must discuss it with Your Highness."

"What is it?" Upon seeing their serious demeanor, Yuwen Luanfei’s face grew tense.

Could it be... the Dowager Consort had an affair with a guard?

His eyebrows furrowed in concern, ready for the storm. Such a royal scandal could not be let out. If Bai Junjun and the others had seen it, then he would have no choice but... to spend more money to suppress the news, and even consider sentencing the Dowager Consort and the guard to death...

"I am well acquainted with Fahua Temple. I know exactly what the Abbot looks like, and I realized yesterday that this Abbot was an impostor."

Oh, it’s about the Abbot... Then there is nothing to worry about.

Yuwen Luanfei exhaled in relief and after a while, he finally responded, "The Abbot, an impostor? How is that possible?"

"Absolutely impossible, how could Abbot Shan Ci be a fake?" Wenren Pingting also could not believe it.

After all, she had been visiting the Dowager Consort for the past two years and had had some interactions with the Abbot.

To her knowledge, the Abbot’s demeanor had not changed from the usual.

Bai Junjun looked at her inscrutably, "Are you certain there was nothing out of the ordinary?"

Wenren Pingting wanted to nod but did not dare to be too absolute, ultimately responding timidly, "I haven’t had much contact before, but the Abbot of these past two years hasn’t changed."

After all, two years ago, Wenren Pingting was only fifteen or sixteen, an age when visits to the temple for incense were more for pleasure trips than listening to an Abbot discuss scriptures or Buddha.

Thus, it was only after the Dowager Consort moved into Fahua Temple that Wenren Pingting had any interaction with the Abbot. If there had been any flaws, they would have been discovered in these two years.

Bai Junjun smiled cryptically, "That’s right, the fact is, three years ago the Abbot was already replaced by an impostor."

"This... This is preposterous."

Wenren Pingting shook her head repeatedly, "How can such a thing happen in this world? Even identical twins might not look exactly the same, and it’s even less possible for strangers to achieve such deception."
