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

Xiao Long had been away from Beijing for many years. This time, he took a huge risk to come to Beijing. Xiao Lichen didn't believe that he just wanted to meet Concubine Huo a few times.

The other party must have a bigger plan.

However, the last time we tracked the other party based on clues, we had already alerted the enemy.

Lost track of each other.

Xiao Lichen secretly arranged people to follow outside the residences of important court officials in the capital.

Once Xiao Long takes action and takes the initiative to meet someone, he will definitely know.

Emperor Jianchang had already decided to kill Xiao Long.

"Remember, when you catch him, you must bring him to me. I suspect that he is involved in the case of the Duke of Zhuguo."

When Emperor Jianchang talked about this, he sighed constantly.

Things happened quickly back then.

He was not in the capital at that time, but his younger brother, Prince Yong, was.

For some unknown reason, Prince Yong did not step forward to help the Duke of Zhuguo and his family clear themselves of the charge of treason and treason.

When he returns to Beijing, everything will be settled!

It's over already.

Because of this matter.

There was a rift between him and his younger brother, Prince Yong.

"This time, I will never let him run back to Lingzhou."

Xiao Lichen's sparkling peach blossom eyes were filled with invisible hatred.

"I heard that you cut off one of your half-brother's hands?"

Emperor Jianchang seemed to be asking casually, but his eyes were fixed on his face, observing his expression.

Xiao Lichen did not hide it, "He privately sold official positions everywhere in the name of Prince Yong's Mansion, collected a lot of stolen money, and seized a large amount of farmland from the people in the suburbs of Beijing, destroying the land to raise horses, and killing innocent people to make a lot of money."

"Last night, I discovered that my mother had been given a slow-acting poison. It was done by Concubine Liu."

After hearing this, Emperor Jianchang was silent for a long time.

"Early in the morning, your father ran into the palace to plead with me, asking me to show some mercy and release Xiao Haoran from the prison for his sake. I did not agree at the time."

Fortunately, I didn't agree.

Emperor Jianchang was not confused at all and knew in his heart that Xiao Lichen had done nothing wrong.

"Well done, I won't say anything even if you want his life."

"Xiao Haoran is a member of the royal family, but he does not set an example. Instead, he takes advantage of his status to act recklessly. He is bolder than any of my princes. Who gave him the confidence?"

"Your father is confused!"

Emperor Jianchang summoned the chief eunuch to go to Prince Yong's mansion to convey my order, "Prince Yong failed to discipline his children and allowed his concubine to do whatever he wanted. Since he is not worthy of his reputation, his military seal in charge of the Northwest Army will be taken back and he will be confined at home to reflect on his mistakes. The concubine killed the princess and her mistress, and her mind was evil. The royal jade butterfly will be wiped out and she will be sent to Ze'en Temple to become a nun."

"Xiao Haoran committed many evil deeds and damaged the dignity of the royal family. He was demoted to a commoner and forced to live among the people."

In front of Xiao Lichen, Emperor Jianchang acted decisively and made the decision on behalf of him and Prince Yong's wife, issuing an imperial decree of punishment.

It was because of Emperor Jianchang's temper that his princes did not dare to act recklessly and all of them hid themselves up and developed secretly.

This is also the reason why Tao Yuwei often complains about why the male protagonist, the Eighth Prince, likes to hide away and do small actions.

No one dared to show up and bring bad luck to Emperor Jianchang.

Their father, the emperor, is still very scary.

Under the management of Emperor Jianchang, the fiefs of several princes in the Great Zhou were controlled within a certain range for development, with limited resources, and could not cause any trouble.

Not to mention such a big thing as starting a rebellion.

Although several of His Majesty's biological sons were granted titles of kings in the capital, they had no fiefdoms, only palaces, and were not allowed to recruit staff, which restricted the fighting among these sons.

All of these sons in Beijing also had complaints in their hearts.

Xiao Lichen was satisfied with Emperor Jianchang's attitude from the bottom of his heart.

The reason why Your Majesty spared Xiao Haoran's life was because of his biological father.

He never took Concubine Liu and her son seriously.

They committed suicide on their own initiative, so they can't blame anyone else.

When the imperial edict reaches Prince Yong's mansion, I believe that his blind father's other concubines and several restless half-brothers will never dare to cause any trouble again.

"I thank your majesty for taking the lead for me. I will definitely bring King Junshan to you."

In Xiao Lichen's opinion, Xiao Long was hypocritical, cunning and scheming, and was not worthy of being his elder.

He must avenge his maternal grandfather's family.

Next, he will have to track down the other party himself and bring him to justice.

After finishing the discussion, Emperor Jianchang no longer had the heart to review memorials. He waved his hand and said, "You can go down. I will take a rest for a while."

Xiao Lichen respectfully left the imperial study.

In the harem.

After the third princess Xiao Daifu was brought to Jinxiu Palace by Concubine De, she listened to Concubine De's persuasion, "If you don't want to marry Wang Jue, then marrying the second son Wang Cheng is also a good choice. Your mother has already inquired about the second son Wang Cheng for you. He is better than the eldest son. He has already studied under a great scholar and has become a juren. In the next imperial examination, he may be granted an official title and can become an official."

Xiao Daifu listened expressionlessly without saying a word.

Could mother please not sacrifice her own happiness for the future of my eldest brother?

He was completely obsessed with her and insisted that she marry into the Wang family to help his eldest brother gain the support of the royal prime minister, who was headed by a literati.

Her silent resistance angered the haggard Concubine De.

Since her daughter couldn't convince herself, she didn't mind using some tricks.

Today in the imperial study, she finally understood everything.

Anle and his daughter colluded with each other, and his daughter demanded a marriage and insisted on marrying into the Wu family.

In her opinion, the third princess's resolute attitude must have been due to Anle's instigation.

No one can stop her plan.

"Come here, lock up the third princess and let her reflect on her mistakes. Do not let her out without my permission."

Xiao Daifu was taken away by several tall and strong maids, and she was temporarily unable to resist.

I can only wait until I leave the palace tomorrow to attend the banquet at the Left Prime Minister's Residence, and take the opportunity to think of a way to dispel my mother's plan.

Today is the day that Wu Hanmo returns to Beijing.

I wonder if he still doesn't remember her?

She really wanted to see him. Her mother had already noticed her intention, so she stopped her before Anle took her out of the palace.

Thinking of that person, Xiao Daifu's face turned slightly red. She suppressed the longing in her heart and was once again locked up in the palace where she felt suffocated.

She was taken away from Jinxiu Palace not long ago.

The eldest prince's wife Fu Yuandie came to the palace to pay her respects to Concubine De.

"Why isn't your stomach moving yet? Remember to drink the medicine I gave you on time!"

Defei was very rude to her niece from her mother's side.

Fu Yuandie was obedient, "Don't worry, mother, I will drink on time!"

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was obedient, Concubine De felt a little better.

She instructed Fu Yuandie, "Go and see the Third Princess and persuade her. Wang Cheng, the second son of Prime Minister Wang's family, is a good man. They will be a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"

I know why my aunt and mother-in-law insisted on my cousin marrying into the Wang family.

Fu Yuandie nodded obediently, "My daughter-in-law will go and have a good chat with the emperor's sister right away!"

Tao Yuwei at this moment.

I have already arrived at General Weiyuan's Mansion and am sitting in the main hall, chatting with my aunt and mother-in-law.

The three of them looked outside from time to time.

No one showed up yet.

The sun gradually changed its position and it was noon.

A white figure slowly approached the main hall.
