"Since the Qiao family came to the capital, we have been fortunate to receive the Emperor's favor and have reached this point. We are naturally grateful and dare not forget it. In my heart, the Emperor's favor is a divine grace, and it should be enshrined in the incense burner to enjoy the most incense offerings. Originally, I did not want to publicize this matter, after all, gratitude to the Emperor should be kept in the heart and should not be loudly proclaimed, otherwise it would be suspected of being a show. I did not expect that this matter would be leaked and that someone with ulterior motives would want to make a fuss about it."
Qiao Lian'er looked at the First Prince and his entourage, her face cold, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her mouth: "There is nothing wrong with my letter, and it is written in my own handwriting. It can be verified. I'm afraid it will disappoint some people."
For a long time, she had been living in constant fear, carrying the entire Qiao family on her shoulders, afraid that any oversight would cause the Qiao family to face a real crisis.
Now, she truly feels a great sense of relief.
Seeing these people get their comeuppance filled me with great satisfaction.
When Pang Da realized that his efforts had failed, he felt his blood surging in his chest and almost vomited blood. His face turned deathly pale.
If we can't bring down the Qiao family this time, when will we ever see them again?
He hated it!
Suddenly, the eldest prince remembered that there was a letter hidden in the Qingfeng Plains camp, which Qiao Lian'er probably hadn't discovered yet.
There is still room for maneuver in this matter.
Seeing the life return to his pale face, Qiao Lian'er naturally understood his thoughts.
"Oh, by the way, there's another letter like this in Qingfeng's original place, under the bedding in my brother Meng's room. It has the exact same contents. Would Your Highness and Vice General Chen like to take a look?"
Qiao Lian'er's words ruthlessly extinguished the last glimmer of hope that had ignited in the First Prince's heart.
His face turned from bluish to gray, as if it were emitting a layer of black smoke.
It turned out that Qiao Lian'er had known about their plan all along and had secretly made preparations to deal with it.
Since she said that, the letter from the fief must have been switched.
The eldest prince took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"Your Highness has excellent skills."
Qiao Lian'er smiled, her expression one of ease as if she had already passed through countless mountains: "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. The entire Qiao family sincerely wishes the Great Ze Kingdom and His Majesty continued prosperity. It has nothing to do with any means or tricks."
Da Meng stood motionless, his face showing a solemn expression.
In fact, the Qiao family could easily guess the cause and effect of the matter: someone had placed letters in those two places, which were then replaced by Lian'er.
The premise is that someone left the message, but who did it, and who even went into his room and placed it under his bedding?
Could it be that there's someone treacherous in his life who's keeping him completely in the dark?
Who exactly is that person?
He was rather casual; those who could enter his room included those who cleaned, washed clothes, and even ordinary soldiers he ordered to do so.
This makes it more difficult to investigate.
Seeing that his plan had failed, the eldest prince knew he couldn't linger there too long and risk arousing suspicion.
He gritted his teeth and said with extreme reluctance, "Next one."
With no problems with the Qiao family, Second Master Pei was very pleased. He waved his hand and led his team to the next destination.
Deputy General Chen and Pang Da had no choice but to give up.
If just moments ago Pang Da was arrogant and domineering, as if he was waiting for the Qiao family to suffer, now he is dejected, like an eggplant wilted by frost.
As he passed by, Qiao Dacheng tripped him.
Ponda was caught off guard and fell to the ground, his forehead was bruised and he knocked out a front tooth. His mouth was full of blood, and he was in pain and angry.
