Chapter 43 If you want to die, don't let our Lu family get involved
"Isn't that Lord Xu?" He Qiong covered her mouth in shock, "The Qilin went crazy and bit off the chain!"
As soon as Xiao Mingzhe raised his eyes, he found that the Qilin beast had broken free from the chains, holding a weak woman in red in its mouth, and breathing heavily.
"Miao Yan!" Lu Changqing felt his scalp tingling as he watched the scene in front of him. He wanted to step forward but didn't dare.
That medicine had no effect on Qilin at all, and instead made the monster suddenly go crazy.
Xu Miaoyan had rolled her eyes, and it was unclear whether she was dead or alive. Her bright red dress and long hair made the monster look even more hideous.
Xiao Mingzhe cursed something and swung his whip, raising a cloud of dust.
There was a "crack" sound of a whip.
Everyone stepped back.
The Qilin beast was not afraid at all. Instead, it opened its huge pupils and confronted King Beining. Its eyes were full of hatred, as if blaming him for bringing it here and imprisoning it.
There was panic in the imperial garden, and some timid eunuchs simply dropped their work and started to flee.
"How dare you!" A middle-aged man in a purple dragon robe stood up, his mighty anger sweeping across the imperial garden, "Catch him for me! Anyone who dares to escape will be executed on the spot!"
After all, he is the emperor. Even though he has been frail for many years, his tone of voice can decide life and death as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Yes!" Several guards with swords immediately captured the eunuch who led the escape.
"Your Majesty, please spare our lives!" Everyone was so frightened that they fell to the ground and dared not speak.
It’s not that they want to escape, but the monster’s pressure is too strong. They would rather be punished than be swallowed.
Although there is a fence around the horse farm, it is not strong. This monster can even bite through the iron chains!
"Ahem!" The old emperor coughed twice, supported the maid beside him, and said sarcastically, "Nineteen, you were the one who brought this Qilin into the palace. If it eats someone, you can't escape the blame."
"My son! This is all my fault," Empress Dowager Liu also stood up quickly, "Zhe'er sent Qilin to the capital to celebrate my birthday. If you want to punish me, then punish me."
She had only two sons in her life, but after the eldest son ascended the throne, he became suspicious of and framed her youngest son.
Many people said that the female assassin who pretended to be the Princess of Beining many years ago was sent by Emperor Ming. Because this incident caused Xiao Mingzhe to have no descendants, Emperor Ming relaxed his vigilance against him.
Empress Dowager Liu naturally favored her youngest son.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to plead for Nineteen. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments," Emperor Ming stroked his beard, took a deep breath and sat down again, staring at the horse farm, "If he can tame Qilin, he will naturally be rewarded handsomely."
Empress Dowager Liu's heart felt as if it was being roasted on a raging fire.
How could she not know what Xiao Mingdaoan was thinking? He must be hoping that his brother would be slapped to death by Qilin!
Xiao Mingzhe saw the Emperor Ming's malicious gaze, his long eyebrows knitted, and he clenched his long whip and shouted at Qilin: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!"
When he was angry, his powerful aura swept towards the giant beast along the whip like a tidal wave, hitting its neck.
Blood splattered.
"Ah——" the Qilin roared, dropped the woman in its mouth, jumped away quickly, curled its front legs and arched its back as if to attack.
The long whip had long metal spikes on it. After all, Qilin had been defeated by him before, so he was a little afraid of Xiao Mingzhe. After being hit, he didn't care about the prey in his mouth and decided to deal with the man in front of him with all his strength.
Xiao Mingzhe rushed forward and kicked Qilin fiercely under the mouth: "Get lost!"
Xu Miaoyan, who had already fainted, rolled several times and rolled to the side of the fence.
"Miao Yan!"
"Master Xu!"
Lu Changqing and He Qiong quickly led several palace maids and eunuchs forward.
Lu Changqing picked up Xu Miaoyan and carried her horizontally. He breathed a sigh of relief after running out of the racecourse, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That was a close call."
Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from behind him, and Lu Changqing turned around in shock.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I would like to volunteer to tame the Qilin beast." Fang Qianxue, wearing a light yellow long-sleeved dress with auspicious patterns, knelt in front of Emperor Ming.
At this time, King Beining and the Qilin beast were fighting fiercely. Even the imperial guards only dared to watch the fight outside the horse farm. No one dared to enter rashly.
But when they heard a weak woman say that she was going to tame the Qilin, everyone's necks turned in unison as if a switch had suddenly been turned on.
"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Liu was worried about her son's life. She hated Xu for being useless. She saw another woman saying that she could tame Qilin. She said impatiently, "Why don't you leave? Your Majesty is here. Deceiving the emperor is punishable by death!"
Lu Changqing immediately left Xu Miaoyan behind and rushed over to pull the yellow-clothed woman: "Fang Qianxue, are you crazy? You've seen how powerful the Qilin is. How could you? The Qilin swallowed you in one gulp without even spitting out the bones! If you want to die, don't bring trouble to our Lu family!"
