The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 466 General Cao visits the Prime Minister's Mansion

At this time, General Cao was quietly entering the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Your humble servant greets the old Prime Minister!"

"Sit down, what brings you here this time?"

The old prime minister had no intention of greeting this former son-in-law. He raised his hand to motion him to sit down and asked straight to the point.

"Old Prime Minister, ever since I poisoned Zhao Ting'er, her health has been getting weaker and weaker, and she has been lying in bed unable to move. But yesterday, the poison was completely removed from her body, and her health has recovered to a large extent. I have investigated, but I have no clues. I am puzzled, so I came to discuss this with you."

General Cao frowned and looked at the old prime minister and said.

"I know a thing or two about this."

The old prime minister stroked his beard and said this, with a heavy look in his eyes.

"Please enlighten me, old Prime Minister!"

General Cao suddenly stood up from his chair, took two steps towards the old prime minister, and said with a bow.

"Do you still remember Hongmei and her group?"

"remember."

"Yesterday I got the news that Hongmei and her group were subordinates of the Jin Kingdom's national master. Hongmei had just returned from the Jin Kingdom yesterday and got two magical medicines from the national master. One of them was fed to Zhao Ting'er last night, so her health improved overnight..."

"How is this possible?! The guards stayed in Zhao Ting'er's courtyard last night to make sure no one sneaked in!"

General Zhao widened his eyes and interrupted the old prime minister.

"Listen to me. There is another magical drug. It is colorless and odorless. When people smell it, they will become dazed and lose their memory for a moment, and they will not notice it afterwards."

The old prime minister waved his hand at General Cao, asking him to calm down, and continued.

"How could there be such a miraculous medicine in the world? When did Zhao Ting'er have any relationship with the Jin Kingdom's Imperial Master?"

General Cao fell back into his chair and muttered in disbelief.

"The world is so vast that nothing is impossible. Zhao Ting'er's physical changes are so strange that we can't help but believe it. As for when Zhao Ting'er got in touch with the Jin Kingdom's national teacher, shouldn't you, as her bedside companion, know best?"

The old prime minister glanced at General Cao and said unhappily.

"I'll go back and investigate!"

General Cao felt a little embarrassed and stood up and walked away.

"Come back here!"

The old prime minister rolled his eyes and shouted at General Cao's back.

"Old Prime Minister, what do you want?"

After hearing the old prime minister's words, General Cao stopped and asked.

"Now I don't know if Hongmei has any other miraculous medicine in her hands. For your safety, I advise you not to alert the enemy. If my guess is correct, Hongmei will definitely try to enter your general's mansion and protect Zhao Ting'er. You should not object then, and you should also pretend to care about Zhao Ting'er. Don't restrict her freedom openly, and don't let her suspect you."

The old prime minister calmed down and gave instructions to General Cao.

"When I think of what Zhao Ting'er did to Yan'er, I wish I could kill her with one blow and know how to be intimate with her. If I didn't want her to die so easily, I would have sent her to hell long ago!"

General Cao clenched his fists and growled.

"Humph! Then just do whatever you want. When you are killed by Hongmei, you will see if you have the face to see Yan'er in the underworld!"

The old prime minister snorted coldly and said with a flick of his sleeves.

"Then I will take people to deal with Hongmei and Zhao Ting'er right now! To prevent any more troubles, which would be a bargain for Zhao Ting'er!"

General Cao touched the dagger at his waist, like a lion ready to devour people!

"I say, you have no brains! You're making me, an old man, so mad!"

The old prime minister suddenly jumped up, came behind General Cao, and kicked him!

General Cao covered his butt and dodged, his face flushed red. At his age, it was really embarrassing to be kicked in the butt.

"Grandpa, calm down, calm down! If you get angry and make yourself sick, no one will take your place!"

"That's right, Grandpa. Your health is the most important. General Cao is not very smart. Just talk to him slowly!"

"Dad, come, sit down and have some tea. It's not worth getting angry with him."

Old General Cao looked at the three people who jumped out from behind the screen, and his face turned even redder when he heard their rude words. He stood there, not knowing whether to leave or not. It would be awkward if he didn't leave, and he also wanted to hear why the old prime minister called him brainless.

Leng Linglong, along with the siblings Zhao Junhuan and Zhao Junle, helped the old prime minister to sit down, stroked his chest to help him calm down, and poured him tea, finally calming the old man down.

"Linglong, tell him that he is such a blockhead. I am too lazy to explain to him."

The old prime minister looked at General Cao with a frown on his face, and asked Leng Linglong to send him away.

At this moment, the elderly General Cao stood there obediently, looking at the old prime minister with the look of a wronged child, which made Zhao Junhuan and Zhao Junle speechless.

"General, according to our spies, they didn't know that Zhao Ting'er had a health problem, but the national master in Jin knew about it. Their captain was punished for failing to protect her properly, and the national master didn't arrange for other people to keep an eye on Zhao Ting'er. First, this shows that the national master must have a special way to know Zhao Ting'er's physical condition. Second, the national master of Jin attaches great importance to Zhao Ting'er's health. According to the description of the spies, the national master of Jin is too strange and his poison is powerful. If we rashly kill Zhao Ting'er and Hongmei and others, he may sneak into the capital of Daxia in anger. We are no match for him. At that time, we will be passive, and it is possible that we will also implicate the people in the capital."

Leng Linglong said as she paced in the hall.

After hearing what she said, General Cao calmed down completely and understood the old prime minister's intention.

"I understand. I will do as the old prime minister says."

General Cao saluted to the old prime minister and spoke solemnly.

"Then go back and don't let Zhao Ting'er find out that you have private dealings with my Prime Minister's Mansion."

The old prime minister waved his hand at him and said.

After General Cao left, the old prime minister complained to his daughter-in-law and grandchildren: "Tell me, how did you win all those victories with that brain!"

"Maybe it's because of Sister Yan'er's revenge that he lost his composure. Forget about him. Dad, eat some dried fish and let's continue to discuss what to do next."

Leng Linglong brought out a plate of dried fish from behind the screen, and the few of them put their heads together and continued to plan.
