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

After entering the prison, Tao Yuwei reacted quickly and found a room for Xiao Yuwei to rest and sat down before Liu Zuoyi had someone take her away for interrogation.

Liu Zuoyi was furious when he saw it.

"Princess Anle, please follow me to the interrogation room next door. This is not the place for you."

Facing Liu Zuoyi's arrogance, Tao Yuwei looked at him coldly.

"You are just a small commander. You don't have an imperial edict or an arrest warrant. Don't be a madman in front of this princess. Go get someone who can talk."

Her words hurt Liu Zuoyi's heart.

He was so angry that he pulled out the sword of the guard following behind him and pointed it at her.

"Xiao Yuwei is investigating the case, and the emperor has granted special permission. Princess Anle, you ignored the law. What crime should you be punished for?"

Tao Yuwei looked at the sharp sword tip pointing at her and lowered her eyes slightly. No one saw the emotion in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, she raised her head, her lively phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent.

She unconsciously stretched out her right index finger and lightly touched the sword. The sword pointing at her was cut off and fell to the ground.

Such an action made Liu Zuoyi and Xiao Wei behind him dumbfounded.

She was telling them with her actions that her skills were superior to theirs and that they should not even think about making any rash moves.

"Imperial permission? As a Xiaoyu Guard, it seems you haven't done your homework."

Tao Yuwei praised him sarcastically, "After the palace banquet two years ago, the Jinyiwei was changed to Xiaoyuwei. This princess also has the so-called imperial privilege."

She pulled off a jade pendant with a dragon pattern hanging on her body and held it in her hand.

Emperor Jianchang was attacked by an assassin from the northern barbarians. At the critical moment, none of his imperial guards or the secret service agency Jinyiwei rescued him in time.

It was the original owner, who was only ten years old, who was full of passion and bravely stepped forward to save the emperor's life.

In order to thank her, the Jinyiwei was changed to Xiaoyuwei, and she was specially given a jade pendant with dragon pattern, which was like holding an imperial sword in hand, and could protect her at the critical moment.

This was also the promise that Emperor Jianchang made to her.

When Liu Zuoyi saw the jade pendant, his face changed drastically. With a clang, he threw the half-broken sword in his hand to the ground, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him, pulling the little guard behind him.

"Long live my emperor!"

With his forehead touching the ground, Liu Zuoyi was extremely anxious. It was all over. He was careless. He shouldn't have listened to that man and used his power for personal gain by deliberately looking for trouble with Princess Anle.

Having offended someone he shouldn't have offended, it may be difficult for him to get away with it today.

Xiao Yuwei? Tao Yuwei? He is such an idiot.

Your Majesty was so obviously protecting Princess Anle, so why did he come to you so foolishly?

The Huo family, the Minister of Works, holds a prominent position in the imperial city, and they have a concubine who is extremely powerful.

But they only dare to use him to scheme against others, what does this show?

This shows that the Huo family and Concubine Huo's clique did not dare to openly cause trouble for Princess Anle.

After figuring it all out, Liu Zuoyi was so frightened that he trembled with fear. He no longer had the momentum he had in the General's Mansion.

Tao Yuwei looked at the person kneeling at her feet with a smile on her lips.

"Today, you have no evidence and dared to bring this princess to the prison. It seems that you have big plans."

"I wonder who is the master behind you? Tell me so that I can see how powerful he is."

In the mansion, she could choose not to follow, but thinking that she had been bullied to the point of being wronged, she had to let His Majesty know first that she was being wronged.

As for the rest, she can do whatever she needs to do. With His Majesty backing her up, she has nothing to be afraid of.

Sweat quickly broke out on Liu Zuoyi's forehead.

He kept complaining in his heart.

He couldn't give that person up. Even if he did, he would never let his family go.

Tao Yuwei put away the jade pendant and did not ask anyone to stand up.

If it weren't for this person, the news that she was arrested and imprisoned in the prison would not have spread.

She wanted to take this opportunity to see who would jump out first and plot against the General's Mansion to plan all this.

Although the fishing process is boring and painful, she doesn't mind and has plenty of patience.

Kill one as it jumps out. If a group of them jump out, kill them all. Put them all in the oil pan and fry them until they are crispy.

Liu Zuoyi trembled as he defended himself righteously, "Princess Anle, you don't have to threaten me. I act impartially, and there is no one behind me as you said."

"If you keep talking so hard, don't blame me for being rude."

A storm gathered in Tao Yuwei's beautiful phoenix eyes.

[What a person who has no one behind him. Why did he accept the gift from the Huo family at the Minister of Industry's Mansion last night? 】

[Let me see why you are associated with the Huo family. That's why! ]

As Xiao Lichen was pushed into the door in a wheelchair, he clearly heard Tao Yuwei's voice.

Huo family?

He has already sent more people to investigate all traces of the Huo family over the years.

The person who had been sent out had not returned yet. In his heart, he was still not sure about the authenticity of the information brought by Princess Anle.

As his subordinate in Xiaoyuwei, Liu Zuoyi is one of His Majesty's confidants. He has been law-abiding for many years. How could he secretly defect to Shangshu Huo?

[No wonder this man would work for the Huo family. His daughter secretly fell in love with the Huo family's son and is already pregnant with Huo Xiujie's child.]

[Huo Xiujie didn't want to take responsibility. This man threatened me in every way, but he put forward a condition instead. As long as he agreed to find a reason to arrest me and put me in the prison, he would agree to marry his daughter.]

[In order to make him willingly work for the Huo family, Master Huo specially sent someone to deliver a letter of commitment. After the matter was completed, he would not only marry his daughter, but also help him get promoted and transfer him to the Ministry of War as a minister.]

[The letter of commitment given to him by the Huo family was hidden in his arms.]

Xiao Lichen clenched his fists, with huge waves rising in his heart.

He is the commander of the Xiaoyu Guards and in charge of news across the world, but he is not as well-informed as Princess Anle.

It seems that he really failed in his duty.

"Come here, dismiss Liu Zuoyi from his post and take him to jail."

Xiao Lichen's cold and ruthless voice interrupted Tao Yuwei's questioning.

Two Xiaoyu guards rushed in immediately, grabbed Liu Zuoyi's arms while he was kneeling on the ground, and pulled him out.

Liu Zuoyi was unwilling to be taken away like this. He turned around and shouted, "Commander-in-chief, I have followed you diligently for many years. Why did you arrest me just because of a few provocative words from others?"

"You are so diligent! Come, search me." Xiao Lichen's jade-like face was frighteningly cold.

A Xiaoyu guard nimbly searched out the letter of commitment from the clothes in Liu Zuoyi's arms.

Qingzhu, who was standing behind Xiao Lichen, stepped forward to take the envelope, then respectfully presented it to his master.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xiao Lichen looked indifferent.

"I have received a secret report that you, as a member of the Xiaoyu Guard, colluded with court officials without authorization to murder Princess Anle. Come on, what else do you have to say?"

Tao Yuwei's eyes have been on Xiao Lichen since he entered the room.

Her black hair was as silky as silk, and she wore a jade hairpin on her head. Her face was as white as jade, and her clear and charming peach blossom eyes were as sharp as thunder and clear as fire.

He sat in a wheelchair with his back straight, dressed in a dark brocade robe, giving people a mysterious feeling.

"I know I was wrong, I beg you to forgive me, sir."

Liu Zuoyi regretted it and begged for mercy.
