Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

When Jiping left the palace, it was already the third watch of the night.

It was not long until the fifth watch.

Because of the wars in recent years, all industries were in decline, so even in the palace, there was no luxury to light lights everywhere.

Therefore, when Jiping walked in the palace at night, he always felt that there was countless darkness in all directions, attacking him, making people feel a little unconsciously fearful of the inexplicable darkness.

Just when Jiping was immersed in the dark atmosphere, he suddenly heard a thunderous voice in his ears: "It's so late, I wonder where the doctor went?"

Jiping trembled all over, turned around subconsciously, and saw a cluster of torches approaching in the darkness, accompanied by the tinkling sound of armor leaves.

It was Cao Xiu, the general of the imperial army who was responsible for guarding the palace.

This person is the core of the Cao clan, and his status is not much lower than Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan.

Cao Xiu is a relative of Cao Cao and a cousin of Cao Ang. He is a real confidant of the Cao clan.

It is precisely because of this that the task of guarding the Xudu Palace was given to Cao Xiu.

In other words, Cao Xiu is the first checkpoint responsible for monitoring the emperor.

With Cao Xiu here, the emperor can't think of escaping from the palace or colluding with the outside world.

Jiping originally thought that it was already this point, and Cao Xiu, a noble relative of the Cao clan, should also rest.

At least he would not keep an eye on him, a royal doctor.

After all, Jiping has been in and out of the Xudu Palace for a long time, day and night, in the past few years.

Whether it was the emperor or his concubines and children, if they had a headache or fever, they would ask Ji Ping to treat them.

The guards of the palace had long been accustomed to Ji Ping's coming and going on weekdays.

But weekdays were weekdays, and Ji Ping had no secrets in his heart at that time.

Today, he had a huge secret, and he was suddenly stopped by Cao Xiu. It was impossible for Ji Ping not to be panicked.

However, thinking of the trust of the emperor, Ji Ping overcame his panic, calmed his breath, looked at Cao Xiu with a smile and said: "It turned out to be General Cao Xiu. The emperor summoned me to the palace to treat the emperor.

Now that the treatment is over, I should leave the palace.

After all, according to the Han system, even the imperial physician cannot stay overnight in the palace.

This is the deep palace defense."

After listening to Ji Ping's words, Cao Xiu nodded lightly.

At least on the surface, Ji Ping's words are indeed impeccable.

However, Cao Xiu is also a cautious person, and did not let Ji Ping go because of this.

He just smiled lightly and said: "In this case, Mr. Ji Ping can leave."

Just when Ji Ping breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, Cao Xiu waved his hand and said: "Left and right, search Mr. Ji Ping first."

Speaking of this, Cao Xiu looked at Ji Ping with a fake smile and said: "Sir, this is also a routine Han system, please don't be offended."

Hearing this, Ji Ping could only force out a smile: "General, you are loyal to your duties, I will not be offended.

But please hurry up, it's late at night, don't make too much noise, so as not to disturb the emperor's rest."

Just as Ji Ping finished speaking, the imperial guards responsible for the body search pulled out a jade belt from Ji Ping's waist: "General, a jade belt was found on him, this is the imperial item!"

"Oh, bring it to me!"

Cao Xiu immediately strode forward and took the jade belt in his hand.

And Ji Ping's heart was instantly tense at this moment...
