Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 504: It was the handkerchief that saved my life

The emperor's whole body froze, only his eyeballs were moving, looking to the side for help.

Eunuch Qi also saw the golden ring snake and was so scared that he dared not move, for fear of disturbing the poisonous snake and hurting the emperor.

While speaking in a trembling voice, he whispered, "Your Majesty, please do not move, or you will become the target of this snake."

"The emperor waited patiently. It treated the emperor as a stone or a piece of wood and would leave on its own."

This is the only way for now, and we can't call the guards in to avoid scaring the snake.

Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down the emperor's forehead and flowed into his eyes. The salt irritated him, and his eyes twitched in pain. He didn't know whether what flowed out was sweat or tears.

However, the snake did not do as Eunuch Qi wished. It stared into the emperor's eyes, as if it could tell that this was a living creature trying desperately to remain calm.

The snake slithered forward, crawling onto the emperor's cuffs and then up his arm, spewing out its scarlet tongue.

The emperor's body trembled slightly, as if his soul had flown away into the sky, his bones were covered with a layer of ice, and the hairs on his body stood up high, vertical to his skin, densely packed together.

If he had a choice, he would want to die now.

Watching the golden krait getting closer and closer to his face, and even smelling a fishy odor, the emperor widened his eyes, almost popping out.

It was over, it was over. He was the Son of Heaven, but he didn't die in the conspiracy of his children, nor in the struggle among his ministers. Instead, he was poisoned to death by a snake. In history books, is this the most unworthy death?

The emperor was in tears.

Seeing that the emperor was terrified and collapsed to the extreme, Qiao Jianer knew that it was time to take action.

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, shook it, and pressed it towards the krait.

It was so fast that in the blink of an eye, the golden ring snake was completely wrapped in her handkerchief.

She held the seal tightly to prevent the krait from showing its head.

The Emperor and Eunuch Qi had never expected that Qiao Jianer would be so bold, and were completely stunned.

Moreover, the snake was very long, and she was able to completely seal it inside the handkerchief in such a short time, which was a test of her skills and techniques.

The krait struggled in the handkerchief for a while, and then slowly stopped struggling.

"What, what's going on?" Eunuch Qi was very surprised.

This insidious poisonous snake seemed to have suddenly become very obedient.

The emperor also looked incredulous.

"Perhaps we still have to be in awe of the majesty of the royal family," said Qiao Lianer.

Then why weren’t you respectful just now, the emperor thought again.

Only at this time did the guards dare to rush in. They brought a bamboo basket with a big belly and a small opening. Qiao Jianer stuffed the golden ring snake into it and immediately sealed the opening.

The matter was finally resolved.

The emperor's legs went limp and he fell into a chair, gasping for breath. Eunuch Qi stood by and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, there is the County Princess. She is truly wise and decisive. She saved the Emperor at the critical moment."

Qiao Jianer said respectfully, "Your Majesty protects all people in the world. When faced with danger, your subjects should sacrifice their lives for you."

The emperor nodded slightly, glanced at the handkerchief in her hand, and found that there were many words on it, which seemed to be some prayers.

"Let me see the handkerchief."

Qiao Jianer immediately presented the handkerchief.

When the emperor saw the content above, he realized that it was congratulating him for his talent and brilliance, and he couldn't help but feel warmed.

What is important is not talent, but sincerity.

"This is written by Jian'er to bless me."

Qiao Jian'er looked puzzled and looked at the handkerchief, and couldn't help but be surprised.

She immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"You just saved me, blessed me on the handkerchief, and even carried it with you. What crime have you committed?" The emperor was puzzled.

"This handkerchief is not mine. I accidentally took it by mistake."

"Oh, whose is that?" The emperor became interested.

"It was my cousin-in-law, Mu Xinghe. He was a candidate for this year's imperial examination. Although he had never seen the emperor's face, in his heart, he always prayed for the emperor to live a long and safe life. So he couldn't help but write it on the handkerchief. It must have been drying when I accidentally picked it up by mistake."

"Although I didn't write this, I have a sincere heart for Your Majesty, just like my cousin-in-law."

Qiao Jian'er secretly sighed in her heart that it was really tiring to speak in front of the emperor. She had to take everything into consideration. It was not enough to praise others, but she also had to include her own intentions.

"Mu Xinghe." The emperor thought about it carefully and seemed to have some impression of this name.

Before the imperial examination, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory would report the candidates' birth dates, annotate them, and present them to him for review.

He paid special attention to the top students in several major areas. He thought Mu Xinghe should be a student with excellent grades.

Then I thought that it was this handkerchief that subdued the golden krait. The golden krait did not struggle much in the handkerchief. Could it be that these words of blessing had worked?

The power of heaven and the blessing together made the golden ring snake feel awe.

That's definitely the case.

The emperor held the handkerchief, his face filled with emotion. "Xinghe is a man of great fortune to be able to be named after Youjun. I only hope that he can achieve good results in this imperial examination."

"This time, I was able to escape from the fangs of the venomous snake. This was not only due to Jian'er's contribution, but also to Xinghe's."

"Since Xinghe wrote this handkerchief to congratulate me, I'll keep it."

Qiao Jianer said, "If my cousin's husband knew that his handkerchief was kept by the emperor, he would definitely be very pleased."

"I didn't know this student before. I hope everything is going well for him," asked the emperor.

Qiao Jianer hesitated for a moment and said, "It's fine."

However, it was this slight pause that allowed the emperor to see the clue.

"Xinghe saved my life. If he has any problems, just tell me."

Qiao Jian'er sighed, "I dare not lie to the emperor. Just a few days ago, my cousin Qiao Xi'er had a miscarriage, which was a great blow to my brother-in-law. Fortunately, I have finished my exams, so I don't have to worry about affecting my performance."

Then she reported the matter to the emperor in detail.

The emperor frowned as he listened, and immediately connected it with the previous incident of someone deliberately sabotaging the examination hall.

It turns out that from the very beginning, the other party was targeting Mu Xinghe.

They tried every possible means to prevent him from taking the exam well, and even if he did, they would ruin his future.

If he was just an ordinary student, it would be fine if he just suffered bad luck. Although he was the emperor, he could not take care of the specific fate of so many people. However, Mu Xinghe used his luck to protect him.

How could he just sit there and do nothing?

"Is there any definite evidence to prove that the latter incident was also done by Pang Da?"
