Chapter 40 Miao Yan is willing to explain God’s will to the prince!

He Qiong was standing in front of the horse farm gate not far away, but could not hear the conversation between the two.

"Let me think about it," Xiao Mingzhe took out a long whip with spikes from his waist and quickly waved his hand to draw an arc, "Why don't you act as bait to lure the Qilin out, and let me whip it a few times? It's not impossible to whip it until it eats."

"Snap!" The sound of a whip rang out and the earth shook.

"..." Xu Miaoyan looked at him in horror, "Prince, aren't you here to protect me?"

"That Qilin is very vicious. I cannot guarantee that you will come out alive." Xiao Mingzhe put away the whip again and pointed at the big iron gate. "Shall we go?"

As if disturbed by the whipping sound just now, a roar of a unicorn was heard from inside the iron gate. The roar was different from that of a lion or tiger. It sounded a bit like an angry and sick old man, mixed with majesty and evil.

Xu Miaoyan's legs almost went weak after hearing this.

She had heard the Qilin's roar before, but she could only hear the malice in it but could not understand the specific meaning. In short, she guessed that the Qilin was cursing someone, and the curse was very ugly.

Xiao Mingzhe turned around and looked at her: "You can talk to Qilin, so what are you afraid of?"

"I..." Xu Miaoyan frowned. She didn't want to admit that she didn't understand. "You can speak, but you need to get closer and spend some time getting familiar with it first."

"The Qilin is an ancient mythical beast. If you can understand its speech, it is equivalent to being able to see through God's will, and it can indeed be used by me." Xiao Mingzhe narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him meaningfully.

Xu Miaoyan raised the corners of her mouth and whispered, "Miaoyan is willing to explain God's will to the prince!"

“However,” the man sneered, “if you can’t even feed the Qilin, don’t even think about understanding the will of heaven.”

Xu Miaoyan clutched her sleeves tightly in shame and raised her head to meet his gaze: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely be able to persuade the Qilin Beast!"

She had been prepared for this. Even if she couldn't understand what Qilin was saying, she still had a last resort. There was nothing that a dose of medicine couldn't solve when dealing with these beasts.

Xiao Mingzhe signaled to He Qiong, and the latter opened the big iron gate.

Xu Miaoyan lifted the hem of her skirt and walked carefully into the horse farm. After walking a few steps, she looked back and found that Xiao Mingzhe had not followed her!

The man stood near the gate with his arms folded, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

From the Imperial Garden came the sounds of stringed instruments and the greetings of the arriving guests. Xu Miaoyan then felt as if she had boarded a pirate ship and could not get off. It was too late to retreat now.

what to do?

He Qiong stood beside the King of Beining, waved to Xu Miaoyan, and pointed to a stable in the corner of the stable: "Lord Xu, the Qilin beast is locked in there, go quickly!"

Xu Miaoyan gritted her teeth and walked towards the stable. The Qilin's roar became louder and louder, making people feel that the ground beneath their feet was shaking.

Only when she reached the main entrance of the stable did she see the true appearance of the Qilin beast.

This Qilin beast was as tall as two horses. Just as the katydid had said in the morning, the Qilin was losing its hair. Its hair had become bald in patches, and its body was emaciated from hunger, revealing a serious illness. Only the mane on its head was still majestic.

“Qilin, let’s make a deal today. You eat your food obediently, and I’ll have someone give you a bath, and then give you…” Xu Miaoyan carefully picked up a bucket of food from the side. Just as she was about to sprinkle it into the trough, she saw the sick Qilin suddenly stand up and open his bloody mouth.

The huge roar almost broke her eardrums.

Xu Miaoyan didn't have time to think, and ran towards the iron gate: "My Lord, save me! The Qilin...it wants to eat people!"

Fortunately, the Qilin was tied up and could not be chased out.

King Beining smiled contemptuously.

Although this mythical beast is ferocious, it will not eat humans. The palace servant who died last time was killed by a single claw of the Qilin because he forced it to eat.

"Miao Yan!" A man's voice came from outside the door. Xiao Mingzhe ordered He Qiong to open the door, and Lu Changqing rushed in.

"Miaoyan, are you okay? I heard you screaming and rushed over to check!" Lu Changqing pulled Xu Miaoyan into his arms and wiped the sweat off her face with concern. "Don't worry, His Majesty and the Queen Mother are here. There are at least a hundred guards outside. They will never let anything happen to you."

"Lu Lang! I... I have a headache today and can't persuade Qilin." Xu Miaoyan was frightened and refused to go back.

When the Qilin stood up, it was more than two horses tall. Its head was as tall as a person. The amount of medicine she brought was probably far from enough!

Lu Changqing frowned immediately, pulled her aside, and whispered, "What's wrong with you? Didn't we agree on this this morning? Don't be afraid, I'm here, just go."

He had made a big promise in front of the Queen and Prime Minister Yang, so how could he back down now?
