Chapter 502: The fate of a student collides with the destiny of the country
"Dad, what kind of trash are you looking for? They are useless at all." Pang You couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
"We were almost successful, but as you know, Qiao Jian'er has some special abilities. When she searched for the token, it disappeared. And she did it in front of everyone. She didn't try to hide."
Pang You curled his lips with a look of disdain: "It's just a strange trick. I have a plan. Even if she has these crooked skills, it will be useless."
"Hurry up and tell me, the results will be announced in a few days. I see Mu Xinghe looks relaxed, so he obviously did well in the exam. If he ranks in the top three in the palace exam, we can only watch him get promoted."
Pang You said, "Dad, do you know the saying about celestial phenomena? Some people are evil stars, which will affect the fortune of the emperor and the country. During particularly severe periods of conflict, all kinds of trouble will occur. People like this will be arrested and beheaded."
Pang Da understood it all at once. He had to say that this method was better than the previous one. The emperor would not forgive someone who would bring him misfortune.
This is a big no-no.
"Dad, you brought so many people with you, and Qiao Jianer is chasing you?" Pang You looked at the group of people outside and were on high alert.
"Qiao Xier had a miscarriage, so Qiao Jianer naturally blamed me. Qiao Jianer is very angry now, so I have to be careful."
"It's just a miscarriage, the person is not dead?"
"How can I die so easily?" Pang Da snorted.
Pang You said with a look of pity: "She is lucky."
"But, Dad, if you want to save your life, don't leave the Inner Army Office during this period. Don't forget, the two brothers of the Pei family are also on Qiao Jian'er's side. Maybe you are being watched by people from the Pei family right now."
After hearing this, Pang Da broke out in a cold sweat and looked around.
"Then I'll go back first, you keep an eye on it."
"I'm not worried. At my age, and in Lingxiao Academy, most of the people there are children from aristocratic families. Anyone who dares to kill a child there will offend all the wealthy and powerful people and become the target of public criticism." Pang You was very calm.
In a teahouse opposite, Pei Shijiu watched Pang Da go out. The people around him formed a circle, and everyone was very alert, really keeping their eyes and ears open.
Noticing that someone was looking in this direction, Pei Shijiu lowered the curtain and held a short blade in his hand: "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."
As his fingers turned, the dagger, as thin as a short arrow, repeatedly reflected the sunlight outside the window, which was cold and captivating.
Pei Shijiu compared it with Pang Da, judged the distance, and retracted the short blade.
If we attack from this direction, the short blade will be quickly detected and intercepted.
From today on, Pang Da never left the inner army headquarters.
After a few days of recuperation, Qiao Xier was finally able to get out of bed. Mu Xinghe supported her and took a slow walk in the back garden.
She hasn't spoken for a long time.
"My lady, look, the flowers are blooming one by one. The combination of various colors is so beautiful. This is the brilliance of flowers in all colors." Mu Xinghe leaned over, picked a flower and put it in Qiao Xier's hand.
She lost her grip and the flower fell to the ground.
Mu Xinghe didn't care. He picked another small flower and tenderly pinned it in her hair.
Qiao Xier looked at the person next to her. She was so depressed and didn't respond at all, but he was still so gentle.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she remembered what the doctor said, that crying is harmful to the body, so she held it back.
Just silently held his hand.
Now she can't let go and look at things in a more positive way. She can only wait for the passage of time to dilute all this.
Qiao Jianer has been losing weight by one pound every day these days and has stopped eating his favorite food.
Several groups of people were sent to the inner army headquarters, but Pang Da was hiding very deeply and had no chance to attack.
She even had a kind of reckless madness, and whether it was Ponda or not, it was all his fault.
Moreover, the Pei family was keeping an eye on the homes of Uncle Qiao and Uncle Qiao II, but did not find any suspicious signs.
The Qiao family fell into depression, and no one had a smile on their face.
Although money was pouring in every day, no one felt happy at all.
"I haven't written a letter to Datian Village yet, and my family there doesn't know about this yet." Dacheng said.
Everyone was silent again.
They were looking forward to Qiao Xier's smooth delivery every day, and every time they wrote to her, they would ask about Qiao Xier's condition.
If they knew, I don't know how sad they would be.
"Let's keep it a secret for now. Write in the letter that everything is fine. Don't bring them to the capital for a while. Wait until Sister Xier recovers and gets pregnant again, then we'll tell them." Qiao Lianer said.
Everyone agreed.
When you get pregnant again and have new expectations, you won’t have to focus on the pain of the past.
Everyone urged Qiao Jianer to eat more, and Qiao Jianer agreed and forced himself to eat half a bowl of rice.
She must not collapse. This family has to rely on her to support it.
Three days before the results were announced, a rumor spread vaguely in the capital that a candidate for the imperial examination had a bad fate that would clash with the country's destiny and might even shorten the emperor's life.
If such a person holds a high position, the harm will be greater and the consequences will be more serious.
At the same time, there were several fires in the capital, which corresponded exactly to the evil prophecy.
When Qiao Jianer heard the news, he knew that the other party had launched the third wave of attack.
The one who collides with the national destiny is of course Mu Xinghe. It seems that the person will not give up until Mu Xinghe is completely destroyed.
Mu Xinghe also heard the rumors, and because of the previous events, he naturally thought of himself.
"Kamera, this rumor isn't referring to me, is it?"
Qiao Lian'er looked back and saw that Qiao Xier had come out of the room at some point. She was standing at the door, looking down at the pavilion.
She felt sad, stood up and helped Qiao Xier into the room.
"Sister Xier, you should have a good rest. I will discuss something with Brother Xinghe."
Qiao Xier opened her mouth. She hadn't spoken in a long time, and her voice was hoarse and unaccustomed to it. "I heard the servants discussing that a student had a bad fate and it was the Tian family's big defense. Jian'er, who are they talking about?"
"No matter who it is, I will prepare for it in advance." Qiao Lianer said.
Seeing her calm, Qiao Xier felt relieved. She laughed to herself, "To be honest, it's all my fault. You cleared Xinghe's name so quickly, but I still can't keep the child."
"Sister Xier, please don't blame yourself. This happened so suddenly, and the other party's methods were so despicable, which caused you to have such a huge emotional ups and downs."
She knew that Qiao Xier had been feeling depressed these days because she was blaming herself.
But what did she do wrong?
Qiao Xier didn't want to disturb them, so she sat at the desk and practiced calligraphy. Only by focusing on it could she stop thinking about that matter.
Qiao Lian'er sat back under the pavilion and saw Mu Xinghe looking at the door of the room with a melancholy expression. She couldn't help but sigh, what a pair of mandarin ducks with a rough life.
"They are trying to build momentum now. Once many people know about this, and it even reaches the palace, they will release your birth date and time."
