Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

Chapter 391: The Firewood Carrier

Cao Nong responded and scolded Cao Dalang, "Why are you interrupting Commander Jiang? How dare you be so rude in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Shut up."

Cao Dalang was obviously a little anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Bei Jingchu looked at the uncle and nephew's expressions and it seemed that Minister Cao himself was unaware of what his son had done.

Although she didn't know what Cao Dalang had done, Bei Jingchu knew that her commander Jiang would never do something without a purpose.

Commander Jiang, who was sitting next to him, kept repeating in his mind what Cao Dalang said at the end: It's yours~ It's yours~ It's yours~

Bei Jingchu came back to his senses only when he called him again.

"what?"

"Oh!"

"Your Highness knows that the imperial physician does not only treat nobles."

"When a palace maid gets sick, she will seek help from the imperial physician."

"One day, the imperial physician who taught Miss Cao was giving acupuncture to a patient who was in critical condition, and he almost saved the patient from the clutches of the King of Hell."

"As a result, I happened to be teaching Miss Cao, so I was two cups of tea late."

"Miss Cao was very angry and complained to her father..."

After that, he looked directly at Cao Dalang and said slowly, "After that, the imperial physician was fired and demoted."

"What's even more ridiculous is that the reason given by the Imperial Hospital for demotion was also because he came to Cao's house to teach late."

"I didn't realize that since when has Cao's daughter become more important than palace rules?"

"..."

Minister Cao almost immediately retorted: "Impossible!"

"My nephew has always behaved well at home and respected his elders. How could he use force to oppress others?"

He accused: "Commander Jiang, please stop making false statements and slandering others!"

The Cao family must not be involved in the crime of bullying the weak and violating palace rules!

Jiang Longshou simply said, "Whether it is slander or not, you can find out with a simple check."

"Everyone in the palace knows about this, but no one has brought it to your Highness."

Cao Dalang said sarcastically: "The commander of the guards of the Eastern Palace is actually a warm-hearted person who cares about everything."

"The affairs of the Imperial Hospital should not be your responsibility."

Jiang Longshou nodded.

"It's true that official business is not under my jurisdiction, but this is a private matter."

"Unfortunately, my adoptive father is the chief steward of the imperial court, and some of my childhood friends work in the palace."

"That doctor saved one of my friends, but was banished for it. I am really angry."

He stared into Bei Jingchu's eyes and said with a smile, "Your Highness is a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs. I had a dispute with someone over a private matter. Your Highness should not punish me with a public matter."

Cao Dalang said angrily: "Who knows whether you are here for personal reasons or..."

"That's enough! Shut up!"

Minister Cao interrupted him.

Bei Jingchu turned slightly towards Cao Nong and said, "I will check whether this is true or not."

"Jiang Longshou fought for personal reasons. The Cao family can sue him to Jingzhao Yin and punish him or demand compensation."

"But the matter of the imperial physician..."

Minister Cao said quickly: "If it is true, I will take him to the imperial physician to apologize and give him compensation."

"Your Highness is very busy with such unimportant matters, so please don't worry about them. I will take care of them."

Bei Jingchu asked back: "Isn't it important?"

"Minister Cao, do you still remember that when the late emperor wanted to reform the accumulated abuses, you were the first person to support the decree, always rushing to the front and devoting yourself to it."

"Then... he could not stand the pressure from his ministers and used you as a shield, exiling you."

Minister Cao froze.

Bei Jingchu pointed her fingertips on the ebony tea table and helped him recall: "Until His Majesty is wise and summons you back and grants you the position of Minister of the Imperial Court."

"Actually, what did you do wrong back then? You were just doing your job. But because it was unimportant, you became a pariah."

Bei Jingchu said word by word, "Those who carry firewood for the public should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow."

She stood up and said, "It is Commander Jiang's turn to guard the East Palace today. I will take him back."

Minister Cao was sitting in the middle of the hall, and even forgot to greet Bei Jingchu when she left.

She didn't care.

A feeling of sourness welled up in Cao Nong's heart.

If so, when he first entered the official career, he met Bei Jing, who was just becoming the king.

Will you never lose your passion for entering officialdom?

But he had been deeply hurt by the betrayal of the previous emperor, and used tact and clique-building to protect himself.
