Chapter 467 Yearning
"stop!"
The girl's clear voice prevented a life from being extinguished.
When Bei Jingchu saw that the person was still alive, she stopped to catch her breath, holding onto the door frame to calm her breathing.
When Minister Cao saw her, his face immediately turned dark.
"How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be in my house and even enter the forbidden area without permission? Can you do whatever you want and break into people's houses just because you are the crown prince?"
If these superiors could come and go freely in the houses of their subjects, wouldn't their secrets be exposed?
Who dares to say that his hands are completely clean?
Bei Jingchu took a breath, stood up straight, and did not fall into Minister Cao's trap. Did he want to convict her and put a accusation on her?
If she breaks into the mansion privately, even she will be punished, and then she will be attacked by these guilty ministers.
She walked in with ease, smiling.
"Who said I was breaking into a private house? I just received an invitation from Madam Cao."
She took out an invitation, which looked exactly like Cao's invitation.
Minister Cao choked and turned around to see that his unfilial daughter was equally shocked, and did not seem to have planned to call for help.
This invitation was certainly not sent by Madam Cao.
Whenever the Cao family held a banquet or something, they would send invitations to the Eastern Palace.
Although she was not going, she still had to be polite and courteous, and Bei Jingchu had to return the gift after accepting the invitation.
Even if the reply is perfunctory, it is real money. My heart bleeds every time I see the bill.
But it is useful today, and it is not difficult to copy it according to the previous one.
Apparently, the old fox Minister Cao also guessed something and his eyes narrowed.
"No one from the Cao family sent a letter to the East Palace. I wonder how Your Highness received it?"
Bei Jingchu shrugged.
"Who knows? Anyway, I received it."
As long as she doesn't admit that she is a fake, as a minister, how dare I torture her to extract a confession?
"It proves that Minister Cao is not strict in managing the household and doesn't even know the movements of the people in the mansion."
Minister Cao choked, but Bei Jingchu turned around and led an army in return.
"But after entering, I found that there was no banquet in the mansion. Could it be that you were playing a trick on Lord Chu?"
Minister Cao: "......"
What a good way of putting the blame on someone else.
While he was silent, Bei Jingchu grabbed Madam Cao's arm with one hand and lifted her up.
Perhaps her legs were numb from kneeling for so long that Mrs. Cao could not stand steadily and fell to the ground again.
She could only hold on with one hand and let the person lean on her shoulder.
Minister Cao bit his chin and answered her question.
"...I dare not."
"But today I am teaching my daughter a lesson. Even if Your Highness is of high status, you cannot interfere in my family affairs, right?"
"According to the Dai Viet Code, parents can teach their children, but they cannot kill them."
Bei Jingchu glanced to the side.
"The poisoned wine is ready. Does Minister Cao want to massacre the people of Dai Viet in front of me?"
Minister Cao understood. If he dared to take action today, she would send him to jail tomorrow on charges of murder, turning him from a prime minister into a prisoner.
By then, don't even mention the family honor. He will probably be the laughing stock of the entire court. Even the Cao family will suffer a devastating blow because of him.
Therefore, clans execute clan members in private, and everyone knows about it. It is not exposed to the public, and the officials will not investigate unless the people sue.
But today, I was controlled in a tough manner.
Minister Cao stared at Bei Jingchu with his eyes, as if he wanted to stare through her.
Bei Jingchu was not afraid at all and looked back at him calmly.
Madam Cao, who was leaning against the side, had bright eyes. This was the man she longed for. He was about the same age, but he was able to suppress her unattainable father.
