Chapter 787 The news leaked
"...I feel that Master Huiqing is simply worrying too much. My hometown is also in Zhuozhou, and I am willing to set an example and stick to Zhuozhou." Yu Wendong said firmly.

The reason why Yu Wendong intervened in this matter is exactly the same as that of Gongsun Jing, that is, there is also a woman in Yuwen's family who is participating in the draft, and she is Yu Wenjia, the prostitute daughter of his younger brother Yu Wennan.Now, Yuwen's family has no place in the harem, and has suffered repeated setbacks recently, and urgently needs a favored concubine to turn things around for Yuwen's family.Naturally, one cannot just sit and watch the long-awaited Concubine Selection be cancelled.

Of course, there was another reason. He had always known that Commander Qi, Lin Qishan and Bai Ruoxi were Yun Jingshu's people, and he would naturally agree with what they objected to.

After listening to Yu Wendong's words, Dongfang Chen's eyes dimmed a little, and his tone softened a lot, and he said lightly: "Master Huiqing, I will carefully consider what you said. However, I will not just because of your family's words. To make such a big decision, I will send someone to invite Master Huiyuan to inquire face-to-face. Come here, take Master Huiqing to rest, and take good care of him, and don’t be negligent.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this poor monk believes that your Majesty is a wise king, and will definitely make the right decision on this matter." Master Huiqing bowed to Dongfang Chen, and then left with a young eunuch.

"Retire!" Dongfang Chen said coldly with a gloomy face, then stood up and walked down the imperial steps.

"Back to court—" An Fuhai sang loudly, and quickly followed.

"Respectfully send off the emperor—" Civil and military officials hurriedly knelt and sent Dongfang Chen away.

The news that Master Huiqing went to the Golden Luan Hall to request to cancel the selection of concubines was immediately spread, and it reached the mouths of all the beautiful women. Suddenly, some people were happy and some were worried.

Those who are happy are naturally women like Bai Ruolan and Lin Wenjing who do not want to become concubines in the harem, while those who are worried are women like Yu Wenjia and Gongsun Xue who hope to become concubines in the harem.

So, throughout the day, the two factions gathered together to discuss this matter whenever they had time.

Soon, those who were originally happy began to worry that Master Huiqing would not be able to withstand the pressure and would be defeated. Bai Ruolan spoke quickly and told those people that Master Huiqing had promised to prevent the selection of concubines.

Soon, the news spread.Yu Wenjia and Gongsun Xue heard the news, but the final version they heard was: Master Huiqing was hired by some people who did not want their daughter to enter the palace as a concubine, and what he said was not true .

Yuwenjia and Gongsunxue were very happy when they heard the news, and they sent a letter to their father overnight.

The next day, early morning.

The court hall was silent, and everyone was waiting for the arrival of Master Huiyuan.Even Master Huiqing stood quietly among the officials, his eyes drooped, his lips moved silently, and he twirled the beads while chanting sutras.

Soon, the eunuch's notification came from outside the door: "Master Huiyuan seeks to see—"

"Xuan!" Dongfang Chen said in a deep voice.

Soon, Master Huiyuan, also dressed in a red cassock, with white eyebrows, big ears, and a ruddy complexion, strode forward. As soon as he entered the hall, he bowed to Dongfang Chen: "Amitabha, the poor monk pays homage to the emperor, my emperor Long live Long live Long live."

Dongfang Chen looked cold, and said in a deep voice: "Excuse me, Master Huiyuan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Master Hui Yuan clasped his hands together and said respectfully.

"Do you know why I came here for you?" Dongfang Chen looked at Master Huiyuan and asked in a deep voice.
