Thinking that once Mu Xinghe was destroyed, the Qiao family's path as civil officials would be blocked. They would be nothing but brutes and military men who would have no say in the court and could not amount to anything.
Pang Da was filled with joy and couldn't help but tilt his head back and let out a hearty laugh.
Someone rushed in: "Lieutenant Pang, something bad has happened."
Ponda's laughter stopped abruptly, and he turned his head away stiffly.
"What's wrong?"
His subordinates were a little scared by his gaze, but he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"The Emperor was furious when he saw the birth date and time. He summoned the Imperial Observatory for questioning. Lord Tan said it was an auspicious sign. Moreover, a rumor had spread that Mu Xinghe had saved the Emperor's life. Therefore, the Emperor thought that Mu Xinghe was a blessed person. He also ordered people to investigate the source of the rumor carefully."
Ponda's face twitched, he was furious, and his eyes were dark and menacing, as if he wanted to devour someone.
"Mu Xinghe saved the Emperor's life? How is that possible?"
"It is said that two days ago, Mu Xinghe wrote words of congratulations to the Emperor on a handkerchief. When Princess Dingxiang went to see the Emperor, she mistakenly took the wrong handkerchief. Just then, a poisonous snake crawled into the window. The princess used this handkerchief to wrap the snake and saved the Emperor."
Pang Da let out a cold laugh, his teeth almost grinding to powder. He knew that Qiao Lian'er had some special abilities, but he didn't expect her to use them in this matter. She took the initiative and created a good image for Mu Xinghe in front of the emperor.
Otherwise, if the emperor had obtained Mu Xinghe's birth date and time, he would have simply canceled Mu Xinghe's exam results without saying a word, instead of summoning the Imperial Observatory and giving Mu Xinghe another chance to turn things around.
It was at this moment that Pang Da realized that Qiao Lian'er could see the emperor at any time and could do whatever he wanted, which was even more terrifying than a high-ranking official.
"His Majesty heard that Mu Xinghe has been having some trouble lately, so he has sent top-notch guards from the Imperial Guard to protect him," the subordinate added.
"Get out! All of you, get out!" Ponda roared, his hoarse voice broken and shrill.
He felt something churning inside his body, and a metallic taste rose from his throat, making him almost vomit blood.
"I hate it so much, I hate it so much, Qiao Lian'er, the Qiao family, why is God so good to you, why?"
Ponda raised his hands, angrily questioning the heavens.
These days he has come up with three plans, each of which has failed miserably. He really doesn't understand why some people are so favored by fate.
Instead, he continued to fall into poverty and despair, like a stray dog.
Deputy General He entered the courtyard with a cold and stern expression.
“Lieutenant Pang, you need to be more discreet in the future. The Emperor has already taken notice of us, and he might be implicating us in this matter of fate. If this continues, our futures will be ruined.”
Ponda closed his eyes, his face full of resentment.
"Mu Xinghe can't be stopped. Since Heaven is determined to grant his wish, you don't need to fight against it. When he enters officialdom, there will be many complicated struggles waiting for him. Many things are unpredictable and he may not be able to handle them. He may not be able to help the Qiao family, or he may even harm the Qiao family."
“Even if you succeed in dealing with Mu Xinghe now, it will only be one Mu Xinghe. In the future, we can also uproot the Qiao family.”
Hearing these words, Pang Da took a deep breath and felt his resentment lessen somewhat, his blood and qi flowed more smoothly, and he was even more looking forward to the exciting things to come.
