Chapter 669: Diverting Trouble to Others

The Emperor's breathing became heavier: "How many people are involved?"

"Of course it's 327 people, and each person can only take it once." She looked up at the Emperor, "If this list falls into the hands of the gods, I'm afraid that half of the Lingxu royal court will collapse and chaos will occur."

The instability of the royal court means the instability of the Emperor's throne.

The Emperor was a little angry: "You use this to threaten me?"

"I dare not, this is also the reason why I rushed to Ganquan Palace." Qingyang State Master remained calm, "If it is searched by Bai Ziqi, you will be in trouble here."

The Emperor stared at the account book and stood there without saying a word.

The person who bought the medicine violated the rules of heaven and should be investigated. But this number is too much.

Qingyang State Master's immortality medicine is of course not sold for money. Even if you are a big businessman in a wealthy family, you can't buy this magic medicine at Qingfu Temple with a silver note.

Of course, 99% of people don't even know that Qingfu Temple sells immortality medicine. This is something beyond their cognitive dimension.

The names of the customers recorded in this account book must be well-known figures in Lingxu City. Behind each of them, there are often several aristocratic families. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as "powerful".

If the account book is obtained by the gods, they will not care about the interests or the situation, but will only order a full investigation and arrest to prove that the divine power does not tolerate disobedience.

But the epic shock caused by the Beijia Royal Court will be suffered by the emperor.

As strong as it is, it also finds it difficult.

It is angry and annoyed, but it does not want to wield the butcher knife and kill so many beloved ministers!

Fear of death is the instinct of living things. Isn't it human nature to try every means to prolong your life?

"How do you want to solve this trouble for me?"

Qingyang National Master was extremely earnest: "Please spare my life, emperor."

It was weak for Tong Ming Zhenjun to plead for her. She had to at least win the mercy of the demon emperor again.

After all, no matter how much pressure the gods put on her, the final decision and decree is still made by the Emperor.

If it doesn't want her to die, she should be able to survive.

"You..."

Qingyang Imperial Master quickly said: "In the final analysis, only some demons were killed in this case, and I am willing to make compensation. I beg the Emperor to demote me to an old woman in the market. Anyway... I don't have much time left."

It's hard for mortals to live past a hundred years, and the limit for practitioners is around 140 years old. She is nearly 200 years old, which is already super longevity. If it weren't for the beauty-preserving technique, her hands and face would probably be about the same as dried orange peels.

Without Yuanli, her remaining days can be seen at a glance.

The Emperor was silent because of the vicissitudes of life in her words, and turned to walk into the garden.

Knowing each other for nearly 200 years, even stones can be warmed up, let alone living beings with flesh and blood?

Qingyang Imperial Master said nothing, opened the door and walked forward with it.

Because the Emperor had long since dismissed everyone, the garden was empty, with only green trees facing the wind and the fragrance of flowers, but no birds singing -

With the Emperor's pressure here, birds are not trembling?

In the depths of the garden, a camphor tree bloomed, with pink and white flowers and a strange fragrance.

Master Qingyang walked over naturally, flicked a small bunch of white flowers, and pinned them on his temples.

The Emperor stopped and looked down, as if he had penetrated nearly two hundred years of time, and saw the little girl picking camphor and wearing it on the edge of her hair, laughing at him - and she was missing a front tooth.

After that, Master Qingyang often came to pick flowers and wear them when he passed by this garden, but this camphor tree grew bigger and bigger, from a lonely seedling back then to a towering tree now!

It still softened its heart and sighed: "I can spare your life."

Qingyang State Master raised his head suddenly, then knelt down with a plop, choking slightly: "Emperor!"

"The death of those monsters is not a big deal. Fan Yao State just took the opportunity to attack Lingxu City, and there are a large number of ignorant civilians cheering them on." The emperor said majestically, "The ban on the sale of immortality medicine is an iron law set by the gods. I dismissed you and confiscated your property, which is considered an explanation, but your subordinates can't be saved."

Qingyang State Master was grateful: "Emperor is kind!"

The anger of the gods must be vented through a channel.

In the matter of immortality medicine, she lost. Rather than saying that she lost to Shuangye, it is better to say that she lost to Xi Yunhe's forbearance and planning for more than ten years.

This person really knows her too well.

But she still saved her life. Only by living can there be hope of fighting back.

"In fact, what the gods are most concerned about is the source of the divine blood for refining the elixir of life." The emperor looked at her, "Whether it is obtained from the human world or the divine world, you must explain it clearly."

"Yes!" Qingyang National Master said in a serious tone, "The source of the divine blood is the demon puppet master Dong Rui!"

"Who?" The emperor was busy with all kinds of affairs and felt unfamiliar with this name.

"More than ten years ago, he kidnapped the son of General Zuo Yuwei and transformed him into a violent giant ape who did not recognize his relatives and only obeyed his orders. Lingxu City issued a wanted order for this, but Dong Rui quickly escaped from Beijia and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Dong Rui must use divine blood to trigger their mutations during the process of transforming these demon puppets." Qingyang National Master continued, "I contacted him at that time and obtained a lot of divine blood from him."

"'A lot', how much?"

"A small half jar." The medicinal lead required to refine the elixir of life is very small. A drop of divine blood as big as a needle tip can be diluted to refine hundreds of elixirs of life - this is still taking into account the failure rate.

"So, where did Dong Rui get his divine blood?"

"I don't know." Qingyang Imperial Master whispered, "I wanted to ask him, but Dong Rui ran away."

The Emperor shook his head: "It's not a good idea to blame someone who is missing for the source of divine blood."

"Dong Rui has not disappeared!" Imperial Master Qingyang said quickly, "The monster 'Snail Toad' used by my evil disciple Xi Yunhe to hunt monsters is Dong Rui's monster puppet!"

The emperor's eyes narrowed.

Are Dong Rui and Xi Yunhe together?

"Not long ago, Dong Rui appeared in the Han River War in Yuan Kingdom, cooperating with Hong Chenglue to attack the Yuan Kingdom army." Qingyang Imperial Master glanced at it, "He dared to show up in public because he got Bejia's Amnesty order. Do you know who proposed this amnesty?"

The emperor lowered his head until a pair of giant eyes were very close to her: "You want to say that Dong Rui has divine blood in his hands, and he found Shuangye Guoshi as his backer?"

Its eyes were blazing with fierceness, and its voice was as loud as thunder: "So, Shuangye Guoshi knows the whereabouts of the divine blood?"

The emperor was furious, but Imperial Master Qingyang's expression was as calm as water, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Exactly!"

"Your accusation..." the emperor said angrily, "there is no evidence! Shuangye Guoshi can refute it without any effort!"

As expected of the Qingyang Imperial Master, he would bite his opponent to the death even in a desperate situation!

"No, I have evidence!" Imperial Master Qingyang said in a deep voice, "I just received a tip-off that there is an abnormality in the main urban area of ​​Lingxu Lower City. A big tree suddenly grows branches, looking like a ghost, and a docile sheep demon suddenly transforms. , and even chewed up living people. These are probably mutations caused by contact with the divine blood, just like Dong Rui's demon puppet. It's a pity that as soon as I received this clue, Bai Dushi led people to surround Qing Palace, and I didn't. There’s still time to check it out, so——”

She said word by word: "Dong Rui is probably nearby!"

"Dong Rui's pardon order was issued by Imperial Master Shuangye, and Hong Chenglue was the last person to see him. I think as long as you find out that the abnormality in the lower city is related to the divine blood, you can question Imperial Master Shuangye."

Hong Chenglue was recovered by Imperial Master Shuangye, and everyone in Lingxu City knew that he was from the faction of Imperial Master Shuangye.

Dong Rui, Hong Chenglue, Shuangye Guoshi. The emperor sneered, Master Qingye wanted to bind them together? "Hong Chenglue has rushed to the eastern front."

"It doesn't matter if you can't pull Shuangye Guoshi down. If he is also suspected, it will be difficult for him to take charge of the Yuan Power. So in order, the one who is most likely to take over is the Lord of Summer Palace." Qingyang Guoshi said quietly, "Follow me. I am of the same mind as you.”

"That's all?" the emperor said coldly, "I don't know where the Dong Rui you accused is. It's impossible to catch him and bring him to justice. For you, this matter will be impossible to handle."

"It doesn't matter, I can wait." Grand Master Qingyang knelt down to the emperor again, "After I go, Grand Master Shuangye and the God of Heaven will definitely take the opportunity to exert their efforts to regain the upper hand in the royal court."

The emperor was silent.

In the court, Qingyang Imperial Master was one of its most important supporters, and even had to smooth out relations, win over people's hearts, and unify affairs for it. His role was no different from the magic needle in the sea.

In fact, the emperor also understood why she sold the elixir.

Isn’t it just to win people’s hearts and coordinate relations between all parties?

To put it bluntly, control.

Excluding some selfish motives, in the final analysis, it is still for the emperor.

It never doubted Qingyang's loyalty to it.

Now that there is a big thunder here, her position as the Imperial Master is not guaranteed. The gods and the Shuangye Imperial Master will most likely take the opportunity to suppress the forces she has left in the court and eliminate dissidents.

The struggle over royal and divine power has never stopped.

It is precisely because of this that the Demon Emperor does not want the account books in the hands of Imperial Master Qingyang to leak out. For the entire royal court, her fall has been like an earthquake. If many important officials are implicated in the elixir case, the royal court will be divided and the imperial power will be emptied.

The storm that enveloped the palace in Lingxu City was about to take shape.

Even if you are an emperor, if you don't handle it properly, you will have to walk around with endless food.

"For the position of Qinggong Imperial Master, I recommend Nie Xiaolou, the dean of Tongshan Academy, to take over. He has outstanding cultivation and is shrewd. He also has the rare ability to understand the general situation and consider the overall situation. You have long recognized him. Well, in terms of age as well. It's very suitable. He is only in his forties," Imperial Master Qingyang said seriously, "The most important thing is that he is just an acquaintance with me and we have no contact with each other. God can't find fault with him."

The successor to the head of the Qing Palace should be decided first, so that the gods will not come up with ideas and impede the selection, and the emperor will be passive.

The Demon Emperor fainted: "He really has nothing to do with you?"

"yes."

Yes or no, it no longer matters. Its gaze fell on the account book in the arms of Imperial Master Qingyang.

Qingyang Imperial Master understood this, and with a little bit of strength, the ledger started to burst into flames.

Three times, five times and two times, this big piece of the emperor's heart was burned into ashes.

She also knew what the emperor was worried about: "This is only one copy, there is no copy."
