Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The atmosphere in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion was quite tense. Everyone, from top to bottom, was shocked by Meng Yao's sudden illness.

Meng Yao is now the greatest support of the Marquis's Mansion. Even the Marquis of Pingyuan is not as effective as Meng Yao in speaking in front of the emperor.

Not to mention, Meng Yao was a person enlightened by the Bodhisattva and had the magical ability to predict the future.

So, no one wants anything to happen to her.

Including Prince Meng, no matter how wary and disliked she was, or how strange and puzzled he felt about her, he still didn't want her to disappear in the eyes of the crowd.

Therefore, Meng Yao's illness concerned the entire Earl's Mansion, and they were so busy that they could not find peace of mind. Not only did they force the imperial physician to stay at home, they even prayed to the gods and Buddhas. Prince Meng was particularly pious, but he still felt uneasy in his heart.

He went to his father's study room to seek a sense of security and put all his fears out. "Father, why did Yaoyao suddenly fall ill? There was no sign beforehand. And she fell ill after returning from the palace. What do you think this means? Could it be that she was murdered by the emperor in the palace..."

Pingyuan Bo slammed the table and said in a stern tone, "Shut up!"

Prince Meng shuddered, knowing that he had said something wrong, but he couldn't close his mouth. "Father, you saw what Yaoyao looked like when she came home. She was so pale. She must have been in trouble. I asked her, but she refused to tell me. I am her uncle, how could I harm her? Besides, you are here. You are the head of the family. If there is something serious at home, I shouldn't hide it from you, but she..."

Pingyuan Bo was not happy about this. He had tried to get information from Meng Yao but failed. Now that his son had exposed it, he felt embarrassed and had to try to make amends. "Yaoyao has her own ideas. If she doesn't want to say it, she has her reasons. We are all family. She won't harm the Bo family."

Hearing this, Prince Meng frowned and said disapprovingly, "Father, no matter how opinionated she is, she is only six years old. She is still a child. How much knowledge can she have? What if her thinking is wrong? There is no one to correct her. If there is anything, we should speak it out and discuss it together."

Pingyuan Bo said nothing.

Prince Meng continued, "Father, if she really had her own ideas, she wouldn't have had a fever and talked nonsense at night..."

At this point, his voice paused, and a hint of fear and uneasiness, as well as a bit of excitement, flashed in his eyes.

Pingyuan Bo asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"

Prince Meng lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Father, when will people get a fever? Especially children. Besides a cold, it's when they are frightened. Yaoyao went out, surrounded by seven or eight maids and servants to serve her, and she was well fed and clothed. How could she get a cold out of nowhere? So, she must have been in the palace..."

Pingyuan Bo scolded, "Be careful with your words!"

"Yes, yes..." Prince Meng tactfully skipped over those words and continued, "She must be having that thing again, right? Otherwise, why would she say those weird things when she has a fever?"

What about doing it for Dayong, what about not wanting to see the people suffer, what about being willing to reveal the secret and be retaliated against, every word is full of righteousness, not a single word expresses loyalty to the emperor, but the meaning of every sentence is inseparable from loyalty to the emperor.

After all, Dayong belongs to the emperor, and so do the people. To do good for Dayong is to be loyal to the emperor, isn't that?

What's more, she had leaked secrets several times before, helped the emperor avoid disasters and assassinations, and presented him with mountains of minerals and silver. How many people in the world could be so loyal?

And all this, was it really as she said in her confusion... all at the cost of her own backlash?

These words have already spread, and the Bo family did not stop it. Some people believed them without a doubt, while others felt that there was another mystery behind them. As for him, he was half-believing and half-doubting.

He was eager to hear the exact answer from his father.

If it was true, then he would hold Meng Yao high in his hands and worship her as a deity. If it was false and just some kind of means, then he... would also worship her, but without any awe.

Pingyuanbo understood his son's thoughts, but he was reluctant to express his opinion.

There was an anxious silence in the study.

Prince Meng couldn't bear it any longer and begged, "Father, you can't just ignore it. This may involve the life and death of our mansion. We can't let her do whatever she wants. We must find out the truth. Even if I die, let my son die with a clear conscience..."

"You are getting more and more out of tune. What are you talking about? You are almost thirty years old, but you are still so impatient. What kind of person is this?" Pingyuan Bo scolded him for a few words before saying, "It's not as serious as you think. If my guess is correct, it should be Yaoyao's prediction... Something went wrong, so the emperor summoned you for questioning."

This was the result he least wanted to see.

Upon hearing this, Prince Meng was horrified, "The prediction went wrong? How is that possible? Yaoyao got the prediction with the help of the Bodhisattva, how could it be wrong?"

Pingyuan Bo lowered his eyes, his expression gloomy and unclear, "Yes, the Bodhisattva enlightened me, how could it be wrong?"

If she was wrong, it would mean that the Bodhisattva would no longer treat her differently. Anyway, the Bodhisattva would not be wrong. It would just mean that she had lost the Bodhisattva's protection and would become an ordinary mortal.

Prince Meng was at a loss, "Then, what's wrong? What on earth did Yaoyao predict that went wrong? Could there be some misunderstanding or something?"

Pingyuan Bo said, "It's probably the war in the south."

Prince Meng was not stupid. After thinking for a moment, he realized that it seemed that the emperor had hurriedly summoned Meng Yao into the palace after hearing the news of a great victory in the war from the south. So, the war should have been a disastrous defeat?

So, Meng Yao planned for Xu Huaiyi to enter the military camp and join the war as a student of Jingwu Academy?

The purpose is to let him die in that disastrous battle, right?

But now he has won, and not only won, Xu Huaiyi has also made many contributions, showing his talent, and becoming a new upstart military general in the court. When he returns to the capital, there will surely be even more dazzling rewards. After all, he won the first merit in the most important battle and cut off the head of the Japanese pirate leader, thus deciding the outcome in one fell swoop.

After figuring it out, he couldn't help but mutter, "Yaoyao's prediction was not only wrong, it was outrageous. No wonder the emperor would..."

No matter who it is, no one would be too happy. Even if the war was won, if someone tricked them, they would definitely be held accountable.

Especially before, the emperor trusted her so much. The more he trusted her, the more she felt deceived.

Pingyuan Bo said mysteriously, "Her previous prediction should have been correct, but later, I don't know why there was a deviation, resulting in a completely different result..."

This angered the emperor and made her so frightened and terrified that she had to get sick to protect herself, and then used those words to seek a turnaround.

"So what exactly went wrong?" Prince Meng asked with a bitter face, "Is there no way to correct it?"

Pingyuan Bo had a vague answer in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud. It wasn't because he didn't trust his son, but it was useless to tell him, and it might even cause more trouble. As for what to do, he had to think about it again.

In the evening, Pingyuan Bo went to Meng Yao's yard, dismissed the servants, and the grandfather and grandson had a secret conversation in the house for half an hour.

No one knows what the two said.

When Pingyuan Bo left, there was no expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

The spy who stayed in the Bo's house reported the matter to Han Jun truthfully.

Han Jun then informed Gu Huanxi and specifically reminded him, "I don't know what this grandfather and granddaughter are plotting, but it's definitely not a good thing. Please pay more attention to your family recently. If you are fine, it's best not to go out, lest someone take advantage of you. Huaiyi is on his way back, so just wait for him to come back. If there is anything urgent, call me."

Gu Huanxi did not refuse his kindness and nodded in agreement.

She had some idea of ​​what the grandfather and grandson were planning. They probably wanted to get rid of Xu Huaiyi.

Xu Huaiyi returned to Beijing with the main force. If you want to harm him, you can't do it openly. Pretending to be a bandit is even less likely. If you create a natural disaster or something, if too many soldiers are implicated and the matter becomes a big deal, there will be no way to end it.

Therefore, the only options are assassination or poisoning.

At night, after she met Xu Huaiyi, she told him her guess and reminded him again and again, "You must be extra careful with everything you eat and drink recently. If you really can't, you can secretly take it from the RV. I will prepare it for you. On the surface, you just try your best to fool people. Your life is the most important..."

After thinking for a while, she continued, "Besides oral poisoning, you should also be careful about other means of poisoning. For example, the colorless and odorless incense is hard to guard against. You must carry the detoxification pills that Doctor Jiao gave you with you. Don't take it lightly. I feel that this time it's not just Meng Yao who wants to kill you, but also Pingyuan Bo who really wants to kill you. They don't want to see you return to Beijing to receive the title and reward smoothly. The impact you have caused on Meng Yao is too great, and it has already threatened the status of Pingyuan Bo's Mansion..."

Xu Huaiyi listened with a cold expression, "Don't worry, I'm prepared. Just come, I will make sure they never come back."

Gu Huanxi was not relieved after hearing this. He frowned and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy. After all, this is the Earl's Mansion that has been entrenched in the capital for decades. It was not taken seriously in the past, but it is not entirely because Earl Pingyuan is incompetent. He must have a lot of people under his command. If the poison fails, there is a possibility of assassination. If you are caught off guard, it will be useless no matter how high your martial arts skills are. You are not allowed to take off your protective vest for twelve hours a day..."

Xu Huaiyi hugged her helplessly, "Wife, if I were in the army and would be assassinated, then why would I stay here? I might as well go home and farm. Don't worry, I'm very vigilant."

"It is said that the most dangerous places are often the safest. Similarly, sometimes the safest places are also the most likely to hide murderous intentions."

"Hehe, I didn't expect my wife to be so knowledgeable..."

"Stop smiling at me. I'm serious. We've already won the battle. Don't let this last step get you down. It would be too unfair."

"I understand. Just put your heart back in your stomach. To be honest, I am looking forward to their sending people. If they don't come, how can I catch them? Humph, they are the ones who will assassinate me, so I won't kill them in return? I have already laid a trap, waiting for them to jump."

"..."

So she was just worrying about nothing?

Next, Xu Huaiyi's journey back to Beijing became thrilling. He encountered poisoning or assassination every few days. Although each time the danger was resolved safely, it still made everyone in the team panic.

For this, Sun Yu was so angry that he smashed several cups. "How arrogant! It's really too arrogant! Don't let me catch who it is, otherwise..."

The threats were not fully expressed, but one could guess from the fierce expression that once the murderer behind the scenes was caught, he would be killed without a burial place.

But the real culprit behind the scenes could not be found out. The people sent were just killers. The killers were paid to do the job and had no idea who the buyer who hired them was.

Later on, he turned from a killer into a death squad. Once the mission failed, he would commit suicide without any delay. This way, no clues could be found.

Sun Yu was so angry that he submitted several memorials to the court, requesting a thorough investigation into this insane act.

Isn't it just crazy? To murder a meritorious official, what kind of behavior is this? It's totally a slap in the face of the court.

He was still so arrogant that he attacked the army and did not even take the imperial army seriously.

Even the generals leading the team were angered. Every time someone came to cause trouble, they would bring their men to kill without waiting for Xu Huaiyi to fight back. They looked as if they wanted to tear the killers into pieces, which made Xu Huaiyi laugh and cry.

He also wanted to keep them alive for trial. Even if he couldn't pry open their mouths, he could still use them for use.

Although his plan was disrupted, he couldn't refuse. After all, the other party had good intentions, and it was also beyond his expectations. He really didn't expect that Pingyuan Bo would be so rampant as to send so many people to take his life.

Doesn’t this look down upon him too much?

The closer to the capital, the higher the frequency of assassinations.

No one knew where Pingyuanbo found so many people. Many of them knew how to disguise themselves, so they could easily blend into the team. They could suddenly draw out knives and stab Xu Huaiyi, or even shoot him directly from behind.

Except for a few people he was familiar with, no one else around Xu Huaiyi dared to get within three meters of anyone else.

Others' initial speculation about this matter was that Xu Huaiyi was too popular and others envied him, which led to this disaster.

But gradually, no one thought so anymore. After all, no matter how jealous someone was, they wouldn't hate someone to this extent, right?

This is a fight to the death.

Therefore, it is very likely that it is the revenge of the enemy, and it must be the kind of revenge comparable to killing one's father or stealing one's wife.

After much thought, everyone thought of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Li Yunzhao, the eldest son of Dingyuan Marquis, died inexplicably on the way back to Beijing. It was announced to the public that he was silenced, but the identity of the murderer was not announced. No one suspected Xu Huaiyi, after all, he was still on the battlefield at that time and was out of reach.

But Marquis Dingyuan might very likely vent his anger on him.

The reason why Li Yunzhao was recalled to the capital to be questioned was somewhat related to Xu Huaiyi.

The eldest son who had been raised for many years and the designated heir to the family died in such a violent way. Any father would be heartbroken and would not stop until he had avenged this. So, it is normal for him to vent his anger on Xu Huaiyi, right?

It's just a little too crazy.

However, no one suspected the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion. Even though the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion was involved in the rumor that Su Zhe and Gu Huanxi had an affair, Meng Chonglou was not thrown into prison. Even though he was crazy, he was still alive, right?

Then the hatred is not so deep that it would not warrant such crazy revenge.
