Prince Luo and Prince Li talked a lot of nonsense.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally calmed down a little of their inner anxiety.
"You have read more books than me, so why don't you think of a solution?" Prince Luo urged Prince Li.
"There is indeed a plan right now." King Li pondered for a moment.
"What?"
"We pretend to surrender, and then take his head at the critical moment."
A look of determination flashed across Prince Li's eyes. "As long as Liang An dies, General Bai will be in a panic. This will be our chance."
It's simply and crudely said.
Now it was Luo Wang's turn to roll his eyes. He said, "'Catch the leader first'. Even a three-year-old knows this. Do I need you to teach me?"
King Luo did not think that King Li's plan was feasible.
"You can see that Liang An obviously has some hidden martial arts skills. We want to kill him? That's just wishful thinking!"
"Don't give me any more bad advice. Instead of killing him, I think it would be more practical to influence him with love." When he said this, King Luo gave up on himself and even told jokes.
Upon hearing this, King Li fell into deep thought.
He thought about the suggestion seriously. "It's not impossible. We held him in our arms when he was little."
"...No wonder you've read so many books. The emperor doesn't want you to be an official." Prince Luo was speechless. "If it were me, we'd better surrender to Liang An. At least we can save our lives - oh my god!"
When King Luo turned his head, his gaze happened to meet Wu Qing's suddenly opened eyes.
——On the bed, Concubine Ji, who should have been sleeping soundly, twisted her neck at this moment.
Her pale face was directed straight at Prince Luo and Prince Li, and it was unknown how long she had been listening silently.
Luo Wang was so frightened that he instinctively put his hands on the ground and stumbled back a few steps. His back hit the cold iron bars heavily, making a deafening roar.
"What are you making such a fuss about?" Prince Li turned his head away in disdain. "Keep your voice down, don't attract Liang An. I'm not in the mood to deal with that beast again - ah! Damn it!"
Following King Luo, King Li also fell in the limited space of the iron cage.
Wu Qing stared at them and said in a hoarse voice, "I just woke up, please be quiet."
Prince Luo and Prince Li's expressions changed, and they shut their mouths tactfully.
——When did Concubine Ji wake up?
The conversation they had just had was not consistent with her image, and she didn't know how much of it she had heard.
"I have a way to hold Prince Ding hostage." Wu Qing said, "You two will do as I say later."
Prince Luo and Prince Li were somewhat hesitant and uneasy.
They had no friendship with Concubine Ji, and had only met her once, at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
Now I have to entrust my life and property to her - this is not an easy decision.
King Li asked, "Mr. Ji, are you going to use your divine power to subdue him?"
Wu Qing shook his head, "I can't use my divine power on mortals. Besides, Prince Ding's martial arts are not inferior to Commander Fang, so it won't be that easy."
King Li was a little disappointed, so he shook his head and rejected her.
"I am a goddess serving under the Emperor of Heaven. After going through 81 trials and tribulations, I finally became a Buddha. After protecting the great kingdom of Dachen and stabilizing it, I will return to Yaochi and join the ranks of the immortals."
Wu Qing said expressionlessly, "If you don't agree, I will make you all reincarnate as animals in your next life."
King Luo, King Li:?
"May I ask your Excellency, no, the Goddess of Heaven."
King Luo quickly changed his words and carefully asked for confirmation: "This beast is..."
"Have you heard of the six realms of reincarnation? Mortals will enter different realms after death according to the karma of their lives. Good people go to the three good realms, and bad people go to the three evil realms. The animal realm is naturally one of the three evil realms."
Wu Qing lay down and moved his cervical vertebrae, which made a crackling sound.
She said grimly, "You still don't agree? Then why don't you reincarnate as pigs together? You are almost the same as pigs anyway, and you can't do anything."
Luo Wang was so frightened that his expression was beyond words. He hurriedly explained, "I have never done anything evil. I have never raped women or accepted bribes."
After defending himself, he wanted to discredit King Li, "But I don't know whether King Li has it or not."
King Li flicked his sleeves and said, “…” It’s simply unbearable to be associated with him!
Wu Qing continued coldly, "You can make excuses however you want. I have already cultivated into a Buddha. When I return to the divine position, the six realms of reincarnation will be under my control. By then, whether you stay or go will be determined by my decision."
"So—we should have reached a consensus, right?"
Wu Qing's eyes swept across the two of them, and received two extremely obedient nods.
…
The attendants said that King Luo and King Li showed signs of surrendering and were willing to speak normally.
Prince Ding then stepped into the room again.
**Wu Qing was covered with a quilt and still sleeping soundly.
He walked to the bed and stared at Wu Qing's face for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Prince Ding walked to the box, knocked on the iron railing, and asked in a deep voice, "Did Lady Ji make any movement just now?"
Prince Li woke up from his light sleep. He glanced at Prince Ding and said sarcastically, "Why? She is the emperor's woman. How could I be as rude as you and look her in the face?"
Prince Ding stared at him and said coldly, "She is a goddess of heaven and a living Buddha. She is not some noble lady of the emperor."
Luo Wang said uncertainly: "It seems...it moved a little."
Seeing Prince Ding's look, Prince Luo explained, "I'm not sure either. It was just that for a moment, I felt her fingers move."
"……Yeah?"
Prince Ding calmly calculated Wu Qing's breathing rate.
——It seems to be much faster than before? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Luo Wang in the cage rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: "I speak from the bottom of my heart. Xiao An, after all, I am your uncle, why would I lie to you?"
Li Wang said sarcastically, "Oh, you call me uncle now? Have you ever met me more than ten times? How dare you?"
Luo Wang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go away, we are just talking between uncle and nephew, what does it have to do with you?"
One of them played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, which confirmed the matter in Prince Ding's mind.
Given Prince Luo's cowardly nature, it's not surprising that he would say this. Moreover, there was no need for them to lie about Lady Ji.
Prince Ding walked out of the room and invited in a doctor.
The doctor felt Wu Qing's pulse for a while, looked puzzled, and said he couldn't see anything.
After him, several doctors came one after another, and their conclusions were similar, saying that they didn't know when Lady Ji would wake up.
Prince Li crossed his arms over his chest and said sneerily: "How dare you hire a quack doctor from outside the palace? Aren't you afraid that you might make Concubine Ji worse?"
Prince Luo advised earnestly, "Xiao An, the imperial doctors have taken turns to take care of Concubine Ji for half a month, but there is no improvement. Listen to your uncle, you might as well just keep her as a servant and leave her alone."
Prince Ding's heart was slightly moved, and he was reminded by their words.
That’s right, the person in the capital who knows Concubine Ji’s physical condition best should be the imperial physician in the palace.
He then gave a few instructions to his servants, asking them to bring Doctor Zhu here as soon as possible.
Prince Luo and Prince Li exchanged a subtle look, suppressed their excitement, and looked away unnoticeably.
