Chapter 70: Reading
“Someone come!”
“Take Master Cao away for further interrogation!”
Whether Cao Rui intended to murder the prince or committed adultery with a married woman in broad daylight, he deserved punishment.
As for Cao Rui not knowing that Ye Shuo was a prince, what was the use of that? When it came to the prince’s life, there was no such thing as ignorance without guilt in the royal family.
Following the crown prince’s order, Cao Rui was immediately taken away by the guards. It was estimated that the guards went straight to the Dali Temple. The crown prince saw the incident with his own eyes and did not even give Cao Rui a chance to refute.
After Cao Hu finally broke free, he and the other two servants initially chased after Xiao Luzi. After Xiao Luzi disappeared, they saw their young master heading towards the residential area, and they knew that their young master would not be able to finish the task in a short time, so they took this opportunity to slack off.
Everyone, including Cao Rui, felt that their arrangements were flawless. How could the two servants have expected that something unexpected would happen today?
Even if there were three more people keeping watch beside Cao Rui, it would be useless as there were several guards around.
Since Ye Shuo was here, he had no intention of returning empty-handed.
