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

Hearing the noise, Concubine Huo woke up in shock.

Before leaving, Heiyan had straightened her chin.

She saw the figure standing outside the cell, and a look of surprise appeared on her haggard face.

"This is the prison, why are you here?"

The man looked at her calmly and said, "The child is fine. I have arranged for someone to take him away before the Royal Guards arrived."

Hearing him say that his son was fine, Concubine Huo came up to the man across the cell and said with relief, "As long as Cheng'er is fine, I feel relieved that he is here."

The man took out a small package from his arms and handed it over through the gap in the fence.

Concubine Huo took it, opened it and saw that it was her favorite mung bean cake.

The visitor noticed her embarrassment.

But pretend not to know.

"Did you buy it from Xiang Man Lou?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she held the oil paper bag in her hand and lowered her head to taste it carefully.

The man looked at her calmly.

It felt as if he had returned to his youth, the scene where he first met a bright-looking girl in a scarlet dress in Xiangmanlou.

At that time, they were innocent and sincere, passionate and beautiful.

When the man was lost in his memories, the person he had been staring at suddenly shuddered, and the mung bean cake in his hands fell to the ground.

Concubine Huo's face twisted in pain, her body fell to the ground, and she looked up at the man.

She felt a sharp pain in her internal organs.

A fishy-sweet smell rushed through his throat, and black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Black blood also flowed from the nose and ears.

"You actually poisoned... me..."

"Since I can't take you with me, I can't leave you alive. Only the dead can keep all the secrets."

The man looked sad, and his helpless eyes became firm.

Concubine Huo never expected that she would die at the hands of the person she loved most.

Just as she raised her arm, she pointed her index finger at the person outside the cell door, and in just a breath, her arm dropped down.

The man looked at his beloved woman lying on the hay, bleeding from all seven orifices and dead.

He looked at the other person deeply for the last time, then turned and left without hesitation.

The person lying on the ground never closed his eyes until he died.

the next day.

Tao Yuwei was forcibly pulled out of her sleep.

She reluctantly opened one eye and saw her mother, Mrs. Wu, standing by the bed with a worried look on her face.

It looked like something big had happened.

"Mom, it's still early, let me sleep for a while."

She has difficulty getting up and is very easy to wake up in the middle of sleep.

Before he could even lie down again, Wu pulled him up again.

"Your eldest cousin and your eldest brother disappeared on their way back to Beijing. I don't know what happened to them. Before I saw them, I was very anxious and uneasy..."

My daughter is a know-it-all in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I can always get some news from her.

Wu walked back and forth in front of Tao Yuwei pretending to be worried, which was completely different from her usual calm reaction.

[If the plot doesn't change, the cousin will probably bring a girl back, and the eldest brother will probably be able to return to Beijing in two days.]

Tao Yuwei was not sure whether the plot would continue to go the same way as before after her intervention.

In order to avoid an ambush on their way back, she had made arrangements in advance and sent a letter to her maternal grandfather, General Weiyuan.

Her grandfather also wrote back to her, telling her not to worry and that he would send a special team of elite soldiers to protect her.

But the ambush still happened.

[When the eldest brother comes back, he must avoid meeting the people from the second house, otherwise, he will be plotted against and become the wronged son-in-law of the Sun family.]

[My cousin will have another big problem when he brings that girl back. Oh, all my efforts have gone to waste.]

Tao Yuwei lazily walked past her mother and ran behind the screen to wash up.

After listening to her daughter's thoughts, Mrs. Wu stood there in shock.

She was relieved that the two brats were fine.

and many more.

The second wife still wanted to plot against her son, but with her around, there was absolutely no way her brother and sister-in-law would succeed.

But why would my nephew bring a girl back?

Could it be that they are going to get married with a baby?

No, no, from what my daughter said, if the other party follows him to Beijing, my nephew will be in big trouble?

what is the problem?

That girl Wei'er didn't explain it clearly either.

So does she still need to enter the palace to help her eldest nephew find a match and ask for the third princess' hand in marriage?

No one told her the answer.

Wu thought about it and decided to go to the palace first.

After washing up, Tao Yuwei had dinner with her mother and went back to her room.

Picking up the homemade charcoal pencil, Tao Yuwei drew two sketches based on her memory, wrote two notes, and hurried to the backyard.

She used her mental power to summon back two eagles.

[Please help me go to Yingzhou and look for the two people in the portrait.]

[After you find them, remember their location, bring them the message and come back. You will get plenty of mutton strips.]

After looking at the portrait on the white paper, two adult eagles flew down in front of her.

Let her tie the message to the eagle's legs, spread its wings and fly away from the capital.

Looking up at the sky, Tao Yuwei felt a little better after doing all this.

She had done all she could, and the rest was up to fate.

At this moment.

The head maid Yunxiao came up to her and saluted, "Princess, Prince Xiao from Prince Yong's mansion has come to the mansion and he wants to see you."

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

Tao Yuwei was very curious why Xiao Lichen came to see her.

[Shouldn't the villain be arresting the criminals who are plotting against His Majesty at this time? Is he free? ]

Xiao Lichen was in the yard and heard her thoughts, but there was no expression on his face.

"Princess Anle, I need your help in investigating what happened last night."

Hei Yan, who was pushing the wheelchair, spoke with a wooden face.

Tao Yuwei didn't want to stand in the yard under the rising sun to talk about things.

"Let's talk in the pavilion in the backyard!"

She turned around first, and Heiyan quickly followed at Xiao Lichen's signal.

Come into the pavilion.

Her two maids quickly brought tea, cakes and fruits.

In case she was afraid of the heat, two basins of ice were brought and placed in the corner of the pavilion.

Heiyan, who had wheeled his master into the pavilion, was stunned at her extravagance.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, ice was not used in the way Princess Anle did.

In the middle of summer, this basin of ice would cost at least nearly one hundred taels of silver.

The General's Mansion is still the most confident. His master is the eldest son of Prince Yong and the amount of ice he uses in the mansion is limited.

Just keep the excess hot. Money can’t buy enough ice.

The amount of ice stored in the palace's ice cellar is also limited each year.

Tao Yuwei would never tell him that her military tactics were the cheapest.

Her mother used her dowry shop to buy ice according to the ice-making recipe she provided, and made a lot of money.

The saltpeter used to make ice is something Taoists need when making elixirs, and people are unfamiliar with it.

Fortunately, since her father is a general, it is convenient for her to buy a large amount.

She had money to earn again, and in the hot summer, she liked to stay in a cool place, doing nothing, with food and drink provided.

After slaying zombies for many years, I finally live the life I've always dreamed of.

Tao Yuwei picked up a red apple from the plate and started eating it with a crunch.

"Ask whatever you want to ask quickly. I have to go out soon."

So, Xiao Lichen asked her to tell him what she knew last night.

Tao Yuwei put down the apple in her hand and recounted her experiences from the moment she realized there was something wrong with the medicine to the moment she left the palace.

now.

In Yingzhou, less than 500 miles away from the capital, Major General Tao Zipeng of the Northern Frontier Camp woke up from a coma.
