Fang Ping took another step and his figure disappeared.
The two masters in black were stunned and confused:
"Where are people? What kind of Qing Gong is this?"
"This is not as simple as Qinggong...but it must still be in the palace and spread the news!"
The two acted separately, and the news that there was a suspicious master in the palace immediately spread. From the five chief eunuchs to Hu Benlang, the entire palace became completely noisy, looking for the suspicious person who broke into the palace.
If Fang Ping finds it troublesome, of course he won't be found by them.
"The palace is so big, I'm glad I found it..."
In front of you is the palace of Emperor Mingde.
Just as he was about to go forward, a breeze suddenly blew up beside him, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Tianchen, with his head full of white hair and holding a white-hair whisk, appeared.
"Sword Immortal, farewell to the Immortal Island. It's been a long time since I last saw you."
"Good evening, Imperial Master," Fang Ping said hello, not too surprised.
Rumor has it that as long as the Imperial Master wants to, he can monitor the entire Tianqi, and it will be clear who is coming and who is leaving.
He may have discovered himself a long time ago and only showed up now.
"Sword Immortal visited the palace early in the morning and went to His Majesty's chamber. What's the important matter?" Qi Tianchen said with a smile, "Your Majesty is bedridden now, so it's not appropriate to disturb him."
Fang Ping said calmly:
"There is indeed something important. I am guilty of a crime that needs to be decided by the imperial power of Tianqi.
"By the way, let's take a look at the emperor's illness and see if I can cure it."
Qi Tianchen smiled:
"Haha, the Sword Immortal is wandering around the world, who can condemn you? Don't make me happy.
"But Your Majesty has been ill for a long time. The little miracle doctor Hua Jin said he can't cure heart diseases, but the Sword Immortal may be able to."
"Hua Jin," Fang Ping said calmly, "After leaving Jianxin Tomb, no one else knows how to take care of the herbs in that garden."
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of the people in the palace. One person pushed the door open and drew his sword, but he saw that the other person looked very familiar:
"National Master? Why are you here?"
The speaker is Captain Ouchi Huben, Li Changqing.
The Imperial Master waved his whisk lightly to signal him not to be nervous:
"Put away your sword. This is the Qingmu Sword Immortal. It's useless for you to hold a few swords."
Hearing this, Li Changqing immediately sheathed his sword, cupped his hand and said:
"I heard the magic doctor Huajin talk about the Sword Immortal. I have heard about the name for a long time.
"May I ask if the Sword Immortal is here...to treat His Majesty?"
Before Fang Ping could answer, Qi Tianchen said with a smile:
"The Sword Immortal said he came to apologize. Do you believe it?"
"I...don't dare," Li Changqing bowed his head and said.
A majestic swordsman, a strong man in the Mysterious Realm of Immortality, cannot be restrained by the laws that govern the world, nor can the heaven and earth that restrains living beings restrain him.
If something is done, it is done, so what's the crime?
Who dares to add guilt?
At this time, Fang Ping spoke:
"Your Majesty is awake, let's go in and take a look."
Before Li Changqing could react, the eunuch's voice came from the hall:
"Changqing, Your Majesty is awake, let the guests from outside come in."
Afterwards, a group of people entered the temple to meet the saint.
Emperor Mingde was lying on the bed, and several oil lamps illuminated the palace.
The man on the bed spoke slowly:
"How can the Imperial Master have the time to visit at night? The person next to me...is probably the Qingmu Sword Immortal who is famous all over the world. He healed Chong'er's eyes. Thank you very much."
Emperor Mingde's voice was muddy, and there seemed to be thick phlegm in his throat. He had no imperial air at all, and looked more like an old man in his twilight years.
Fang Ping said:
"It's just for convenience, Your Majesty, there is something you need to know."
"Jinxuan heard what you said outside. If you are not guilty, please forgive me." Emperor Mingde waved his hand lightly, "Beili has green trees, which is a blessing for the world. The Sword Immortal must have a great reason for his actions.
"If not, just make one up and let people believe it."
Everyone present was stunned, it was hard to believe that these words came from the emperor's mouth.
The king of a country can openly deceive the people. Who would dare to believe it if it is spread?
"Your Majesty, I don't want to say these words," Qi Tianchen said. "It would be detrimental to the emperor's authority to let outsiders hear it."
Emperor Mingde smiled solemnly:
"It's just a fact. I want the people to live well and Beili to live well. As an emperor, I have been making choices and trade-offs all my life. This is just one of them.
"Sword Immortal is beneficial to Beili and Tianqi, how can I punish him?"
Yes, what can even an emperor of a country do when faced with the mysterious realm of divine movement?
Fang Ping laughed:
"Your Majesty, you don't ask what the crime is?"
"If I'm exempted, what other serious crime can I get?"
"Killed the Jin family in Qingzhou, including 237 members of the family, excluding servants."
"..."
Emperor Mingde opened his mouth and fell silent.
Qi Tianchen, Li Changqing and Jin Xuan looked shocked and didn't know what to say.
Do you think you do things in a measured way, and you only make small mistakes at most... and then it explodes like this as soon as you come up?
Emperor Mingde groaned and said:
"That's all, I can't control it anyway.
"If I were to punish you for this matter, would you accept it?"
"Of course not," Fang Ping said calmly, "The world is so vast and I haven't seen enough yet. If Your Majesty has someone strong enough to suppress me, there is nothing you can do."
Li Changqing and Jin Xuan looked at each other, frowned, and kept silent. This kind of speech that goes against the emperor's will would not be easy for anyone else.
Emperor Mingde smiled, and the thick phlegm in his throat got stuck, and he coughed for a while:
"Oh, then there is absolutely no need to come this time. What's the point of going all this way?"
To be honest, he was still a little worried. After all, it was the top level of the world, and the influence it brought was too great.
Fang Ping did not answer, but instead said:
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing you need to know."
"Oh, what else?"
Fang Ping's eyes flashed slightly, and his pupils became vaguely long and narrow:
"Your Majesty, you have been poisoned."
"?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions immediately tightened, especially Jin Xuan and Li Changqing, who were closely protecting Emperor Mingde, their reaction was even more obvious.
"Qingmu Sword Immortal, please don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty's palace is heavily guarded. Li Changqing and I will never leave your Majesty's side.
"Who can poison? Who dares?"
Li Changqing nodded in agreement:
"Please don't lie, Sword Immortal. Your Majesty is ill today and has not stepped out of the palace.
"As long as the little miraculous doctor comes to diagnose and delivers meals to the imperial dining room, the miraculous doctor is naturally trustworthy, and the imperial dining room has a dedicated person to test the poison..."
The two of them were protecting the emperor, and they had been inseparable for a while recently. Obviously, they did not believe that someone had poisoned him.
Fang Ping was extremely determined, and those eyes seemed to be breathtaking:
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, poisoning is a fact, and the poison is very subtle, the dose is small, the toxicity is not strong, but it is difficult to excrete, causing the toxin to be deposited in the body.
"Your Majesty, do you feel dizzy and confused?"
Emperor Mingde looked startled, as if this was really the case:
"Am I...really poisoned?"
Fang Ping nodded:
"Yes, although it is hidden and subtle, it is indeed poisoned."
Hearing this, Li Changqing suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Someone had poisoned His Majesty, but he didn't know it... It was a serious crime!
Jin Xuan even had an angry look on his face:
"How brave, there is such an ambitious person in the palace!"
"Your Majesty, let me take a look."
Qi Tianchen's face became solemn, and a ray of true energy penetrated into Emperor Mingde's heart, and then... his face became even more solemn.
