The next morning, Chu Jiaoxin came to the royal palace to kneel and beg Ouyang Feilong. As Taizi Fei who ruled the inner court of the east palace, she requested to be given the authority to personally investigate the matter. Finally, after a long silence, Ouyang Feilong agreed…
His actions meant that Bai Yu had correctly guessed his thoughts. It was not that he had no intention of finding the culprit. He could not, for an unknown reason. In the current situation, no one was more suitable for the duty than Chu Jiaoxin, not even Ouyang Feilong himself.
With Chu Jiaoxin’s status, she should have been the one responsible for the investigation from the start, as she was after only the empress and the empress dowager in authority. However, she was Da Chu’s royalty. Her nation’s power could not reach her here and fully support her. The clever Chu Jiaoxin could see the direction of the wind and decided against interfering at first.
