The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter Seven: Master Mei, Finally Bows Before the Palace

The magnificent palace exudes an awe-inspiring power!

Once upon a time, this dragon throne ruled over the entire region, and the person sitting on it was considered the supreme ruler of the world!

Everything he says and thinks about can shake the world and cause upheaval in human affairs.

However, tonight the main hall was brightly lit, and Emperor Dingwu sat high on the dragon throne, the golden dragon on his body still dazzling and soaring in the sky, but his eyes were fixed on the compensation that was obtained by sacrificing his son's life and the dignity of the royal family!

Everyone below held their breath, their eyes fixed on Daoist Chongxuan, their ears perked up, eager to see what price Shangqing Mountain would pay.

Even Zhang Bangli, who had just made a show of himself, had no intention of interrupting Daoist Chongxuan now, and his eyes were fixed on Chongxuan.

This truly reveals the ruthlessness of the imperial court and the filth of politics!

Master Chongxuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, bowed again to Emperor Dingwu, then straightened up, flicked the whisk in his hand, held it to his chest, and looked at Emperor Dingwu, speaking loudly: "Your Majesty, after the incident at the Ming Prince's wedding banquet where a monk from my Shangqing Mountain sect was accidentally injured, our sect leader, Master Mei, was deeply concerned and should have come to apologize to Your Majesty in person. However, due to the long distance, he could not come immediately, so he immediately ordered his daughter, Master Mei Yunqing, to represent him and come to the palace to apologize to Your Majesty. We hope Your Majesty will forgive him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Daoist Chongxuan turned to the side.

At this moment, everyone in the hall also focused their gaze on Master Mei, who had remained silent.

Even Emperor Dingwu lowered his eyes, his imposing gaze slightly diminished.

Regardless of whether the head of Shangqing Mountain truly intended to come in person, or whether he sincerely wanted to apologize.

Emperor Dingwu was satisfied with Shangqingshan's attitude, after all, his dynasty was supreme and face had to be preserved.

Under everyone's gaze, Mei Yunqing remained calm and composed, slowly rising to her feet. Due to her mastery of Taoist arts and her ability to preserve her youthful appearance, her figure remained graceful and elegant. Even in just a Taoist robe, she was impossible not to turn heads.

She walked forward unhurriedly, her steps without the slightest hint of panic. Only when she reached Chongxuan's side did she look up at Emperor Dingwu. Even when meeting the supreme ruler, her phoenix eyes remained clear and cold, showing no fear or avoidance. She gave a composed bow, her voice calm: "Your Majesty, may you enjoy boundless blessings. Mei Yunqing, acting as the headmaster of Shangqing Mountain, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Respect?

This word caused the atmosphere in the hall to tighten again, just as Chongxuan had said "please forgive me"!

A fierce and majestic glint flashed in Emperor Dingwu's eyes as he stared directly at the female Taoist priest standing calmly below.

The others in the hall also paused, worried that something might go wrong. Fortunately, Daoist Chongxuan quickly interjected, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Daoist Mei has lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years and rarely comes into contact with the world. His words may have been inappropriate. Please forgive him!"

The hall was completely silent, the atmosphere extremely heavy.

Everyone present was a shrewd old fox who had seen it all. A single glance at Master Mei was enough to make it clear that although he appeared aloof, he was actually brimming with undisguised arrogance.

It wasn't a matter of her words being inappropriate; rather, she seemed to have truly attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality, looking down on all the worldly splendor and power.

But everyone knew in their hearts that they were all holding their breath and not daring to make a sound. Even Zhang Bangli kept his mouth shut and did not dare to reprimand anyone.

He stared at Emperor Dingwu with extreme nervousness, worried that the emperor, sitting high on the dragon throne, might lose his temper.

The reason for this is that Mei Yunqing is not like Daoist Chongxuan. In the current chaotic world, a Taoist sect like Shangqing Mountain, which has many extraordinary people, has always been a target of great interest to the overlords.

Mei Yunqing, the daughter of Mei Qingshan, the head of the major Taoist sect Shangqing Mountain, is also exceptionally talented. Before she was forty, she had already entered the inner circle of the sect, transcended the realm of a Dharma Master, and attained the position of a Taoist Master.

Whether within the Taoist community or the imperial court, they held a noble and extraordinary status, and could sit comfortably in this magnificent palace.

One can be much more casual in dealing with Chongxuan, but when dealing with Mei Yunqing, one must take into account the presence of the Daoist master Mei Qingshan, who is like a leader of the Daoist sect.

In fact, it is not surprising that she is so arrogant because she is so extraordinary, but perhaps she really underestimated the emperor of the mortal world.

Emperor Dingwu stared intently at Mei Yunqing with piercing majesty in his eyes, but his gaze softened at the last moment, and he said casually, "When I first met you, you were only sixteen years old. I never imagined that you would have achieved such mastery of magic today. Not bad!"

"Phew..." Everyone in the hall and Daoist Chongxuan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Emperor Dingwu's words clearly meant that he would not argue with a junior like her and would just consider her naive and ignorant.

However, Mei Yunqing seemed genuinely naive and straightforward, unwilling to get entangled further. Before Chongxuan could speak again, she calmly stated, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the Prince Ming, I at Shangqing Mountain have now ascertained the truth and must report it to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Dingwu suddenly turned his gaze to Chongxuan. A hint of embarrassment flashed in Chongxuan's eyes, and it was unclear whether he had really not discussed it with Master Mei beforehand.

It's quite obvious. How could the imperial court be completely unaware of the reason behind this?

You, Shang Qingshan, really dare to kill the Prince of the Dynasty, the current Emperor's own son, at his wedding banquet without any reason?

Emperor Dingwu's eyes grew even deeper. He looked at Mei Yunqing again, a smile appearing on his lips at this moment. His voice softened as he said gently, "Good, good! Good!"

Three consecutive "good"s were like thunderbolts exploding in the hall, causing everyone inside to tremble with shock.

Including Master Mei, she was very close to Emperor Dingwu at this moment. Under Emperor Dingwu's deep eyes, she also felt his immense majesty for the first time, and also felt a little pressure.

"I wonder how my son offended Shangqing Mountain, causing your sect of cultivation to be so enraged that you want to kill the Ming King whom I personally appointed?" Emperor Dingwu's voice became even more gentle.

boom!

Everyone in the hall turned pale at the same time. Chongxuan could no longer maintain his Daoist demeanor and bowed deeply, repeatedly saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down, please calm down... Shangqing Mountain would never have such intentions, it's just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

"It's alright, it's alright. I govern the world by law. If the royal family is guilty, not only my sons, but even I will be punished. Today, you can speak freely. If I am truly immoral, I will not sit on this golden dragon throne. Is that alright?" However, Emperor Dingwu showed no mercy. His tone remained unchanged, and in the end, he actually stood up slowly from his seat.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" The courtiers immediately bowed deeply and chanted in unison.

After a brief pause, another chorus of voices rang out from nearby: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

The voices rang out continuously, as if they were all chanting within the vast palace, trying to appease His Majesty's anger.

The palace is deep and majestic, with red bricks and golden tiles, and its majesty slowly reverberates throughout the world.

"Tap tap tap..."

Suddenly, rapid footsteps sounded again, followed by shouts that seemed to erupt from all directions: "How dare you!"

Its voice was like thunder, its momentum like a tiger; even before its power arrived, it already made people tremble with fear!

Suddenly, cold sweat beaded on Daoist Chongxuan's forehead, and he repeatedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, please calm your anger..."

The once composed Master Mei now had a sudden surge of emotion in his eyes.

Her face was beautiful, but now a blush appeared on her cheeks. She felt that the supreme ruler in front of her could turn the world upside down with just a wave of anger when he stood up. Her Dao heart was shaken.

The long robe began to flutter even without wind, as the surging true energy within the body involuntarily began to circulate.

But in just a moment, her breath calmed down, and her aura froze instantly.

She clearly felt that, right there in the palace, several auras suddenly locked onto her, greatly increasing the pressure on her.

Then, an overwhelming pressure rushed straight to her mind, making it impossible for her to circulate her true energy. She was familiar with this feeling; it was the gaze of a master at the True Person realm.

Her expression changed completely. At this moment, when she looked at the supreme ruler of the world again, she truly understood what it meant to be the supreme ruler of the world!

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I was ignorant and offended Your Majesty. Please... punish me!" Mei Yunqing's face was flushed, she bit her lip, and finally lowered her head.
