Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

If Your Majesty knew that someone said he had kidney deficiency, he would definitely be furious.

Fortunately, he tried hard to control himself and did not laugh out loud, otherwise he would be caught by Tao Yuwei who was paying attention to him.

Tao Yuwei glared at him angrily, then shifted her gaze and said solemnly to Emperor Jianchang, "Your Majesty, the old lady we rescued was said to be someone close to the late emperor. If you have any questions, please ask her in person."

[The person hiding in the palace will definitely poison your majesty again. The poison is colorless and tasteless, and it is a slow-acting poison that will only take effect after a few years. How can I remind your majesty of this again? ]

Tao Yuwei was a little worried. She had reminded him once the last time she entered the palace.

Some things, if said too much, are not a good thing.

The information Xiao Lichen told her was confirmed to be accurate.

After looking at her deeply, Xiao Lichen reminded Emperor Jianchang.

"Your Majesty, the Xiaoyu Guards have received important information that someone is hiding around you and is looking for an opportunity to attack you.

I will send someone to protect you to prevent you from being poisoned. I also ask Eunuch Zhao to investigate the palace servants around your majesty and find out who is harboring evil intentions."

As soon as Xiao Lichen finished speaking, Tao Yuwei widened her eyes in surprise.

The villain is so well-informed.

She said that because she knew the plot. He was able to find out such a confidential matter, which shows how powerful he is.

This is good. With him around, she doesn't have to worry too much.

When Your Majesty meets the old eunuch she rescued, he will know what Concubine Huo did. Concubine Huo will fall without her stepping forward.

The palace is not safe, so she should return to her own house as soon as possible.

"Uncle Emperor, I want to leave the palace. Could you please send someone to escort me?"

Emperor Jianchang sighed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry that Anle has suffered so much. I will have the Imperial Guards take you back. Tomorrow, I will have Cao Youliang go to the General's Mansion to check on your injuries."

Fortunately, this girl knew some kung fu and saved Xiaojiu and the old eunuch before Gu Xinyuan arrived.

After finding out the person behind the scenes, he will have to reward Anle with some good things to appease her.

Tao Yuwei happily praised Emperor Jianchang for his wisdom and bravery, and jumped out at the request of the emperor for his obedience.

Emperor Jianchang accepted her compliment with a smile.

One of them dares to say anything, while the other will agree reluctantly after hearing it.

Queen Gu looked at Tao Yuwei and felt very displeased.

Only Princess Anle, who was personally conferred by His Majesty, can make requests boldly at will.

Every time she entered the palace, she did whatever she wanted without any self-awareness.

Which princess or prince in the palace is like her, with no rules at all, coming and going as she pleases? If it weren't for the fact that she saved Xiaojiu, she would have punished her according to the palace rules.

Xiao Lichen was not at all surprised that she made the request so calmly.

They, the royal family members, are not as good as Princess Anle, who does what she wants and lives a free life.

If the children of noble families in Beijing encountered today's assassination incident, they would definitely not be allowed to leave the palace until the cause of the incident was found out.

The eunuch Zhao Chong who was standing nearby had anticipated this. He first called a few eunuchs from outside and asked them to carry the sedan chair from the palace and come outside the hall.

Several palace maids helped Tao Yuwei into the sedan chair, followed by a team of royal guards, and walked out of the palace.

After their figures disappeared, Emperor Jianchang ordered Empress Gu to thoroughly investigate all the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem.

"If there is anyone who is abnormal, the Queen will report it to me."

Queen Gu accepted the order seriously and left in a hurry.

"Chen'er, follow me to Wenying Palace."

Emperor Jianchang and his entourage rushed to Wenying Palace.

There they were going to meet the old eunuch rescued by Tao Yuwei.

Heiyan pushed Xiao Lichen's wheelchair and followed behind.

Thinking of the evidence in his hands, Xiao Lichen looked at Emperor Jianchang's back and fell into deep thought.

More than half of the people on the list he got had become important officials in the court.

These people are very powerful, and it will take some time for him to collect evidence and find the many clues about their involvement in the incident.

He can't defeat the opponent in one fell swoop just by relying on this list.

Those people are powerful, and to bring them down not only takes time, but also requires various preparations to be made in advance.

I suggest to Your Majesty that you select more talents so that after you bring these people down, it won’t cause an earth-shaking impact and paralyze the court.

He had many things to worry about, but he would never give up on overturning the verdict and seeking justice for his grandparents' family.

Now, he has a direction. Concubine Huo’s brother has been taken to the cell. Tonight, he is going to see Huo Wei.

Xiao Lichen had just collected his thoughts when he realized he had arrived at His Majesty's Wenying Palace.

As soon as he entered the hall, Emperor Jianchang immediately summoned Gu Xinyuan.

Not long after, Eunuch Cheng, the old eunuch who had served the late emperor for many years, was brought into the Wenying Palace.

When he saw Eunuch Cheng, Emperor Jianchang recognized him.

"Eunuch Cheng, what did you see in the harem?"

According to palace rules, after the death of the previous emperor, all the people who served him were required to guard the imperial tomb.

Eunuch Cheng was an exception. Before the late emperor left, he specifically told Eunuch Cheng where to go. He could stay in the palace and choose a palace to live out his days, or he could leave the palace.

In the end, Eunuch Cheng chose a dilapidated palace to stay in.

Faced with Emperor Jianchang's question, Eunuch Cheng looked hesitant.

Emperor Jianchang waved his hand, and everyone except Xiao Lichen left the Wenying Palace.

"You can say it now."

Emperor Jianchang had his back to Eunuch Cheng and could not see his expression.

Eunuch Cheng thought about it and finally told the reason why he was assassinated by a group of fake eunuchs.

As long as Concubine Huo does not fall, he will have no chance of survival whether he leaves the palace or chooses to stay in it.

Even if he didn't tell the truth in front of His Majesty, Concubine Huo would take action against him and silence him.

"That night, it was the fifteenth day of the lunar month. I was half asleep when I suddenly remembered that the late emperor loved to drink peach blossom wine. I got up and went to the peach tree outside the palace to dig out the wine I had buried before.

I took him to the deserted palace next door to offer sacrifices. I squatted down and just chose a secluded spot when I saw two figures entering the courtyard...”

Eunuch Cheng told Emperor Jianchang that one of the figures he saw was Concubine Huo, and the other figure was disguised, so he didn't know who it was.

He intended to leave from one side of the hall to the collapsed area at the back, but he accidentally made a noise and was discovered by the two men.

The next day, Concubine Huo sent people to look for someone, using the excuse that valuables were lost in the palace.

Not only was he found, he was also tied up by a group of eunuchs from Changle Palace.

After listening to Eunuch Cheng's story, Emperor Jianchang kindly rewarded Eunuch Cheng with a small courtyard outside the palace, allowing him to live out his days in luxury.

Eunuch Cheng happily thanked Emperor and Empress Jianchang and left the palace under the leadership of the Imperial Guards.

Xiao Lichen was willing to loyally follow his uncle the Emperor because he saw that Emperor Zhongchang was emotionally stable and had a kind and tolerant heart.

Emperor Jianchang had one more advantage over other emperors. As an emperor, if he did something wrong, he would have the courage to admit his mistake and correct it after deep reflection.

If it happened to other emperors, if the palace maids knew the shameful secrets of the royal family, they would be silenced and quietly disposed of.

However, Emperor Jianchang would not vent his anger on the palace maids.

"Chen'er, keep a close eye on Concubine Huo's affairs and find out who is hiding behind her."
