Legend of Monsters: The Prince Saw a Ghost Alive

Chapter 78 Playing Dead Is a Must-Have Skill

"On weekdays, the lord walks alone, and he doesn't get close to anyone in particular. He Lan should have met him. There is also King Qi, but King Qi is far away in the fiefdom and has not returned to Beijing. The rest, lord He seldom speaks." Beicheng even began to encourage Qingchi, "If you meet someone who greets you proactively, like you did to the prince today, you'll just get away with it."

He himself found it inconceivable that these words came out of Beichengkou.He actually wanted to believe in Qingchi, that he could help his prince solve his current situation?
When Qingchi heard this, she became confident, so she decided to give it a try, and said to Beicheng: "Then prepare yourself, come and wait for me tomorrow morning, and we will go together. Don't tell Jiuyuan about this in advance, we will sneak away tomorrow, if I didn't do well, so I can still use the excuse of being sick for the time being."

After Beicheng returned, Beilou met him and asked, "Why do you look so bad?"

Beicheng looked at Beilou silently, and said, "I seem to have done something behind my back."

Bei Lou immediately covered his ears when he heard it: "Don't say it! I didn't hear anything, so you don't want to use me as a backstop!"

The next day, Qing Chi didn't stay in bed, and woke up early for the first time, and it was so early that Bei Jiuyuan didn't take the initiative to wake her up.

She asked someone to help her put on the court dress, and tidy up and down. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she hurried to the gate of the palace in a carriage with Beicheng.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't want to eat, but that she is afraid of being discovered by Bei Jiuyuan.

Get off at the gate of the palace, and Beicheng escorts Bei Jiuyuan all the way into the palace, heading for the palace.On the way, Beicheng kept telling her in a low voice what to pay attention to when she arrived at the court hall.

Qing Chi briefly memorized a few key points—stand in the front row, be silent, and listen more to what others have to say.

When they arrived at the gate of the court hall, they met He Lanliu.He Lanliu came over and greeted him cordially, and Beicheng said respectfully, "Master He Lan, my prince is recovering from a long illness, please take care of Master He Lan later."

He Lanliu looked Qingchi up and down, and said in a low voice, "Are you really sick? You're not sick at all."

See, even he doesn't believe it, let alone other officials of the DPRK and China.

Qing Chi lowered his head and straightened his clothes as if nothing had happened, then said with a faint smile, "I'm not a god, my body is mortal, and there will always be birth, old age, sickness and death."

After finishing speaking, he lifted his feet and stepped into the court hall.Bei Cheng was terrified watching from behind, he could only wait outside the court hall, no matter how anxious he was, he could not come.

These officials are all wearing the same court clothes, but the embroidered patterns on the clothes are different because of their different ranks.Qing Chi only recognizes He Lanliu.He stood in the front row, and on the other side was the prince whom he had just met yesterday. Now that the prince saw her coming, he gave her a friendly smile.

Qing Chi nodded in return.He Lanliu stood behind her.

She didn't seem to be as frightened as she thought.Everyone doesn't know each other, as long as they don't speak; the most majestic one is the Ninth Five-Year Lord above, the emperor of Beiheng, but is he as powerful as Bei Jiuyuan? The answer must be no.He just wanted to make himself powerful by taking advantage of Bei Jiuyuan's strength.

Qingchi has heard many stories about the King of War, but he has never heard of how the current emperor sent his troops northward to destroy Ji Yao when he was in his prime.His murderous aura may have gradually faded over time, but his ambition to rule the world is growing day by day.

It was the first time Qingchi met the emperor of Beiheng, so he wondered if it was her luck.But inexplicably, she just didn't like the emperor very much.

Probably because he was too ambitious and broke the complementary pattern of Beiheng, Ji Yao and Dongming, and eliminated Ji Yao and Dongming successively during his reign.I don't know if Beiheng's belligerence is because of his temperament, or because he has such an emperor.

According to what Bei Cheng said, she just needs to stand in the hall and not speak. Qing Chi did exactly that, treating herself as a decoration from the bottom of her heart and listening to others.

At first I talked about people's livelihood, and later I talked about how to subdue several small countries in the west. The emperor was always more interested in aggression and expansion, so he asked the ministers for their opinions.

But Qing Chi was not interested, she woke up so early in the morning, didn't eat any food, and stood for so long, feeling so tired, she closed her eyes and began to doze off.

While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a voice above his head that was not angry but mighty: "Zhan Wang, what do you think of this matter?"

Qingchi was in a daze, and there was silence in the hall.Still, He Lanliu reminded in a low voice behind him: "The emperor is calling you."

calling her?
Qing Chi woke up immediately, and realized that she was indeed calling her, and that all the civil and military officials in the court, including the emperor, were waiting for her to speak.He was very calm before, but now he felt a little weak in his legs. Qingchi forced himself to calm down and said: "These Japanese ministers are recuperating at home and don't hear about court affairs. They don't have much opinion to say. Please make amends, Your Majesty."

Although she is a little Taoist priest in a remote place, fortunately she reads a lot of books!It can also come in handy at critical times.Some scenes can still be said.

The emperor did not doubt that he had him, and said: "It's okay, I know you have always had an idea on the layout of the war, let's hear it."

What war layout, what are they talking about?
The hall fell into a strange embarrassment and silence for a while.Qingchi really had nothing to do, and she couldn't continue the stalemate like this, and she had nothing to say, so she finally had to use her trump card.

At that time, she saw her legs go limp, her eyes rolled up, and her whole body twitched. She fell to the ground and passed out successfully.

There was an uproar at the court.The King of War, who was always as strong as steel, actually fainted on the spot in the hall.It seems that this illness is really serious!

As a result, halfway through the court meeting, Qingchi entered vertically and was carried out horizontally.The emperor also lost the mood to continue the meeting, waved his hand and left, and ordered the imperial physician to check Qing Chi's body.

Qingchi tried very hard to pretend to be dizzy, Beicheng and He Lanliu stayed by her side every step of the way.Before the imperial physician arrived, He Lanliu asked: "What's going on, why did you pretend to be dizzy all of a sudden?"

Qing Chi opened his eyes and said, "Ah, did you realize that I was faking it?"

He Lanliu twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Are you running into evil? Eyelashes are shaking non-stop when you're dizzy. This doesn't look like you."

As a result, before Qingchi could speak, Beicheng suddenly landed a knife on Qingchi's neck, Qingchi's eyelids rolled up, and then crooked again.

He Lanliu stared at Beicheng dumbfounded.Beicheng coughed lowly, "I'm really dizzy now."

He Lanliu feigned anger and said, "You are so brave, you dare to attack your master."

Beicheng lowered his voice and said, "Master Helan, please forgive me. To tell you the truth, the prince is indeed a bit of a villain, so his temperament has changed. The Taoist priest is trying to find a way. These days, he has to claim sickness and ask for leave."
