Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice
Chapter 18 Deprivation of title
Xiao Lichen's heart was constantly in turmoil. Two years ago, his body began to show symptoms of general weakness.
At the beginning, he secretly invited famous doctors from all over the Great Zhou to treat his illness, but to no avail.
As time went by, his body became weaker and weaker, to the point where he could not walk. He started coughing frequently, and every time he coughed, he would feel severe pain in his chest, and he would keep vomiting blood.
His health condition became so bad that the palace physician examined him and concluded that he would not live more than a year.
The guard Heiyan used his power to invite the great doctor of Da Zhou to help him cure his illness.
After diagnosis, the miracle doctor determined that he had been secretly poisoned. This poison has a long incubation period and when it reaches a certain amount, it will cause death.
The miracle doctor tried his best to prepare a pill for him to temporarily relieve the poison in his body, but it could only allow him to live for another three years at most.
The mastermind who framed his grandfather's family for treason has not been found yet, and he is unwilling to die in such an unclear manner.
The person who secretly poisoned him is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. If he dies, what will his mother do?
That year, my aunt went to the palace to attend a banquet, but was accused of poisoning the prince. My aunt was executed, and my grandmother was devastated. She fell ill and passed away soon after.
He still has a lot of important things to do, how can he be willing to die like this.
In order not to alert the outside world, he always claimed that he was sick.
Neither his family nor his uncle knew that he was poisoned.
Princess Anle knew it clearly.
She is much better than he is at obtaining intelligence.
He and she shared the same thought that the Fourth Prince would be in trouble.
Seeing that the Fourth Prince dared to be arrogant even after his shameful hobby was revealed in public, Tao Yuwei sneered.
"This princess is in a good mood today and will read the fortune for the Fourth Prince of Yue for free.
Your eyes are watery, your eye bags are dark, your love life is strong, and you have exerted too much effort, which shows that your physical strength is not good. You need to be careful to avoid hurting yourself."
"Also, you have to be careful. There is a prison mark on your forehead. I'm afraid you will be imprisoned. Remember to be careful with what you say and do."
When she finished speaking, everyone else present blushed.
Princess Anle dares to say anything, which is too bold. She is not afraid of offending the Fourth Prince and Concubine Huo and their mother.
The fourth prince Xiao Xiaocheng stood up suddenly, his face was ferocious, and he clenched his fists and almost rushed out to hit someone.
"Anle, don't go too far."
The anger in Xiao Xiaocheng's heart continued to burn away his little remaining rationality.
The third princess looked at Tao Yuwei with a cold gaze, "Anle, this is too much. Watch your words and actions!"
Others looked on disapprovingly.
"How dare Princess Anle say anything?"
"She is so shameless in her irresponsible talk!"
"She insulted the Fourth Prince and said in public that he was in poor health. She even dared to mock the prince for having to go to jail."
When Xiao Lichen heard the discussions, he turned his head to look at Tao Yuwei.
She fearlessly took a piece of dessert and ate it happily.
What a great Princess Anle is! After arguing with others, she is not afraid of anyone's comments and enjoys the food leisurely.
She has changed so much that there is no trace of him in her eyes anymore.
But he found her more and more interesting and different.
It was really strange that she actually said that the Fourth Prince was in jail.
When the Fourth Prince saw her happily eating snacks, he felt like he was about to faint from anger.
Anle is going too far!
He yelled loudly at the guards of the Grand Prince's Mansion who were maintaining security outside.
"Come here, Anle is committing treason and disrespecting the royal family. Take her to the clan house immediately."
The eldest prince and his wife immediately stopped them.
"Everyone calm down and don't get upset over a few words."
They can't afford to offend either side, so if it really doesn't work, they'll just ignore it.
The guards stood where they were and looked at each other, no one made any rash moves.
Are you kidding me? Arresting Princess Anle?
Anyone who really does this will end up in a miserable state.
She is deeply favored by the emperor, and he dares to beat the princes and princesses, and His Majesty still protects her after beating her.
As a mere guard, they couldn't afford to offend such a person.
However, they couldn't afford to offend the Fourth Prince either.
When the Fourth Prince saw that his order had been issued, his eyes turned red with anger.
"Well, if you dare to disobey my orders, I will kill all nine generations of your clan."
"Whose entire clan will be killed?" A shrill voice made everyone react.
Everyone saw Zhao Chong, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Jianchang, appearing here holding the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.
"Are you here to protect me? If you hadn't shown up, the Fourth Prince would have locked me up in the clan residence. Steward Zhao, they were bullying me just now."
Tao Yuwei grabbed her sleeves, her eyes became red and swollen at some point, and she ran to Zhao Chong pitifully to complain.
"We didn't bully Princess Anle."
When the Fourth Prince saw Zhao Chong coming, he said indignantly, "An Le's words were rude and insulted the royal family. Eunuch Zhao, please lock her up in the clan residence to reflect on her mistakes."
Zhao Chong looked at Anle and gave her a reassuring look.
He glanced at everyone present and his eyes became serious.
"Please accept the order, Fourth Prince!"
Seeing Zhao Chong holding up the imperial edict in his hand, everyone knelt down.
Leaving Tao Yuwei standing still.
The original owner had already obtained special permission from Emperor Jianchang and did not have to kneel no matter who he met.
Xiao Lichen was in poor health and sat in a wheelchair without moving.
Everyone else knelt on the ground, bowing their heads respectfully.
"It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed."
"The Fourth Prince has corrupt character and has caused chaos in the palace. The evidence is irrefutable. He will be stripped of his title as King of Yue and imprisoned in the clan residence to reflect on his mistakes. He is not allowed to leave without an imperial decree. This is my decree!"
The Fourth Prince knelt on the ground and trembled with fear after hearing the imperial edict. It was over, his father knew about it.
He collapsed to the ground weakly without saying a word to defend himself.
Fortunately, he was not demoted to a commoner or killed.
After Zhao Chong stuffed the bright yellow imperial edict into the Fourth Prince's hands, he immediately stepped aside.
A group of imperial guards immediately rushed over, carried the Fourth Prince and swiftly left the First Prince's Palace.
Zhao Chong followed the Imperial Guards back to the palace to report.
After the people left, the others dared to stand up in a daze.
What did they just hear?
The Fourth Prince actually caused chaos in the palace, which is a capital crime!
Now that’s good, the Fourth Prince will never be able to leave the clan residence again.
He's done.
Princess Anle's words that the Fourth Prince would be imprisoned actually came true immediately.
This method of fortune-telling is too powerful.
Just now, they even had the audacity to laugh at other people's nonsense.
Now, their faces were hit so hard that it hurt a lot.
Everyone's thoughts were so complicated that they were hard to describe.
The Huo family's ambition to support the fourth prince to ascend to the throne was dashed.
The Huo siblings also thought of this, and panickedly helped each other to stand up.
The arrogance in their eyes disappeared, and they were anxious to leave here quickly.
When something happened to the Fourth Prince, his aunt, Concubine Huo, in the palace could not escape punishment.
They hurried home to check, in case the Huo family was implicated again.
Huo Xiujie tried hard to maintain his composure and said goodbye to the eldest prince and his wife.
His sister Huo Dongyao looked very bad and was deeply shocked, almost fainting on the ground.
In the end, the eldest prince was kind enough to send the brother and sister out of the palace.
"I remember someone said that as long as it can be proved that my subjective acquaintance is correct, I will eat the table on the spot. Where are you? Come out and perform the table eating!"
Tao Yuwei urged this group of powerful and wealthy children in a cold and solemn tone.
A thin young man stood up tremblingly, and under everyone's fixed gaze, he bent down and started to gnaw on the corner of the table.
Tao Yuwei did not intend to give up, "Remember there is another person who wants to be my princess's coachman, where is he?"
Wang Cheng, the second son of the Left Prime Minister, stood up reluctantly.
"It's me, Princess Anle, don't worry, from today on, I will be your coachman."
If this happened to anyone else, he would definitely cheat and not fulfill his promise.
But Princess Anle can't do that.
Otherwise, if we go to his house and make trouble, his father will break his legs.
Besides, he discovered something that others had not noticed. Recently, it seemed that anyone who offended Princess Anle had a bad outcome.
Look at the Fourth Prince. Not long after he offended Princess Anle, he was imprisoned in the clan house.
Tao Yuwei nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, you are all true gentlemen who keep their promises. I admire you!"
The third princess quickly put away her ugly expression in a place where no one could see.
Anle is too difficult to deal with.
Her younger brother, the Fourth Prince, offended Anle and became a prisoner, and she didn't want to suffer the same fate.
"Anle, from now on, I will respect you as my superior." The third princess suppressed her anger and squatted slightly in front of everyone.
Tao Yuwei hurriedly grabbed her arm and pulled her up forcefully to stop the third princess from saluting her.
"The Third Princess was just joking with me. I didn't take it seriously. There's no need to perform any formalities."
The third princess stood up and widened her eyes in surprise.
Anle was actually willing to give her face and save her reputation as a royal princess in front of everyone.
"Okay, according to the rules, I still have to call you sister, so let's stop making trouble."
[The fourth prince would have been so arrogant for two years before he was exposed for cuckolding the emperor.]
[After the incident, he was not imprisoned in the clan house, but the villain personally chopped off his head and used it to provoke Concubine Huo. ]
[I didn't expect that the cuckolding incident happened two years earlier. Who was responsible for this? ]
Tao Yuwei collected her thoughts, smiled generously, and turned to say goodbye to the eldest prince and his wife.
She happily praised the eldest prince's wife for the delicious snacks made in the mansion and said she liked them very much.
The eldest prince and his wife saw them off with a smile.
When I arrived at the door, the family's carriage was already parked outside.
Tao Yuwei jumped onto the carriage and saw a handsome young man who looked similar to her sitting inside.
She recognized the man in front of her immediately.
"Second brother, aren't you in the palace accompanying the Ninth Prince to study?"
The young man looked at his sister lovingly, "Take a day off today!"
Outside the carriage.
After seeing Tao Yuwei get into her own carriage, the second son of the left prime minister ran to the carriage of the general, sat swiftly in front of the coachman, and drove away together.
Tao Yuwei forgot that her second cousin Tao Xueqi did not come out with her.
"Alas, this big Buddha has finally been sent away." The eldest prince's wife took a deep breath and held her husband's arm tightly.
"That's right. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have held this birthday party."
The eldest prince sighed and walked back to the palace with his wife.
Under the protection of the guards, Xiao Lichen chased Tao Yuwei out of the eldest prince's palace.
The rest of the people had lost interest in writing poetry.
Some bold people quickly gathered together and talked in low voices.
"I didn't expect that Princess Anle could actually see that the Fourth Prince would go to jail?"
"It seems that we underestimated her ability. I didn't expect her to be so accurate. If anyone really wants to know about their future, they can ask Princess Anle to read their face."
"I think there is still more to say about the Fourth Prince."
When everyone saw the eldest prince and his wife return, they immediately stopped talking and chose to leave.
Soon after leaving the Crown Prince's Palace, everyone received the news.
The fourth prince's biological mother, Concubine Huo, failed to discipline the fourth prince properly, causing him to behave badly and make a serious mistake. She was stripped of her title of Concubine, demoted to a concubine, and sent to the cold palace.
The Minister of Works, Lord Huo, was implicated, fined one year's salary, and ordered to reflect on his mistakes for three months.
When the news came out, all the powerful people in the capital were shocked.
The news that Princess Anle had a dispute with the Fourth Prince and others in the First Prince's Mansion also spread.
The heads of each family sternly warned the younger generations in their families, "Stay away from Princess Anle when you see her, and never provoke her."
"Even if Princess Anle is causing trouble, we must not offend her."
Because of her efforts, the Fourth Prince lost his qualification to compete for the throne and was dethroned.
It's just incredible.
Tao Yuwei didn't know that after the eldest prince's birthday banquet, she had become a person that everyone wanted to avoid.
In a room in a remote courtyard of the eldest prince's mansion.
Tao Xueqi was lying with a man with a dazed look in her eyes.
They didn't know that the party outside had already ended.
Inside the carriage, Tao Yuwei's eyes were always on her second brother who was sitting next to her.
[The second brother was really good-looking, but his fate was tragic!]
[At the age of seventeen, he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. He was sent by his uncle the emperor to serve as a county magistrate in another place. During his tenure, he developed people's livelihood and stood up for the people to redress their grievances. However, he was slandered, lost his fame, was assassinated, and thrown into a mass grave.]
Tao Zixing's upright body suddenly tilted and he almost fell down.
Although his sister didn't say anything, he heard her voice.
Her words made him very uneasy.
What on earth was going on? He could actually hear his sister's thoughts.
[My second brother is sixteen years old this year. The incident happened two years later. I will never allow tragedy to happen while I am here. However, something big is about to happen. My second brother will lose the opportunity to accompany the Ninth Prince to study...]
Tao Yuwei closed her eyes sleepily. She was too tired and wanted to take a nap.
I wanted to hear what she would say next, but I didn't expect her to fall asleep.
Tao Zixing tried hard to suppress his curiosity, but he couldn't calm down.
When they arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Tao Yuwei woke up and was the first to jump off the carriage. Wang Cheng stood aside and bowed respectfully, "Princess Anle, I will pay you fifty taels of silver. Please help me find a marriage partner."
Tao Yuwei refused directly, "I don't have time. I want to go back and rest."
After tossing and turning for most of the day in the Great Prince's Mansion, she was already full. The weather was so good, it was time for her to have a good sleep.
She walked quickly into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, she was bumped into by a figure running towards her.
After steadying herself, she could see clearly who was running towards her.
"Ninth Prince? Why are you in my house?"
Tao Yuwei lowered her head and looked at the delicate-looking little boy in front of her, looking him up and down.
The Ninth Prince Xiao Hanyu stared at her curiously and replied, "I'm here to find Zixing."
Tao Zixing walked quickly into the mansion and rushed over.
The person responsible for protecting the Ninth Prince only rushed over from the palace at this time.
[The Ninth Prince died tragically! ]
[He was force-fed poison and died of bleeding from all seven orifices! ]
Tao Zixing staggered, his face pale, and he shook his head in disbelief.
