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

After struggling to stand up, Tao Jingyu walked a distance into the palace, grinned and knelt, "Your Majesty, I wish you the best!"

"Puchi" someone couldn't help but laughed out loud in the quiet hall.

"Tao Jingyu, do you know the person next to you?"

In the hall, the other court officials were as quiet as chickens, and no one was willing to step forward at this moment.

Xiao Lichen's cold voice sounded in the hall at this time.

Tao Jingyu raised his head and looked to his side, and saw Li Rui covered in wounds. The pupils in his small eyes suddenly contracted.

"He is a good friend of my brother, the general who guards the country."

"Oh, did you know that General Tao has been accused of keeping a male lover?"

Xiao Lichen interrogated him directly in public, but Tao Jingyu didn't know him and didn't think much about it.

"This is simply slander. My brother is innocent. How could he do such a ridiculous thing?"

"But Li Rui confessed in the prison that you were the mastermind behind him framing General Tao for keeping a male lover."

Before Xiao Lichen finished speaking, Li Rui quickly denied it, "Your Majesty, I was tortured into confessing by the Xiao Yuwei. I did not harm General Tao."

Tao Jingyu now understood that what Li Rui had done had been exposed and that Xiao Yuwei had caught him.

No, he couldn't admit to conspiring with Li Rui.

"Your Majesty, where did these rumors come from? How could I possibly go and harm my own brother?"

Tao Jingyu is quite good at acting. He ignored the pain and banged his head loudly.

After hearing this, the court officials stood up one after another to speak for Li Rui, a minor official.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Yuwei is lawless and abuses its power. Please abolish Xiao Yuwei."

A low-ranking official bravely stepped forward and made a proposal out of empathy.

"Your Majesty, this may not be the only case where the Xiao Yuwei have been tortured into confessing and wrongly accusing innocent people. Please order a thorough investigation. If there is any illegal behavior, these Xiao Yuwei must be punished by law."

Another minor official who was barely qualified to attend court meetings stood up and spoke.

These Xiao Yu guards are omnipresent, monitoring their every move. These minions should not exist.

If they don't stand up now, today's Li Rui may become them tomorrow.

The ministers with more thoughtful minds were secretly happy when they saw this young man rushing out.

They had long wanted to withdraw the Xiaoyu Guards, but these people were like an invincible sword in His Majesty's hand, hitting wherever he pointed, causing them a headache, but they had no way to stop them.

Now that someone is risking their lives to point it out for them, how can they not be happy?

After hearing this, Emperor Jianchang looked at Xiao Lichen, "What did Chen'er say?"

He believed in his nephew's ability and would not be here without preparation.

Xiao Lichen looked at Li Hugua who was kneeling on the side, "Neither of them admitted it."

Li Hugua was quiet for a long time. At this time, he was no longer afraid of the emperor in the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, it was Mr. Tao that I saw in Master Qingfeng's house." He pointed at Tao Jingyu and continued, "I was very surprised at the time. There are not many people with the surname Tao in the capital. Only the General's Mansion has the surname Tao. But how could General Tao do such a thing?"

"I will leave Master Qingfeng's house as soon as possible before I am discovered.

Then, I forgot about it.”

"Afterwards, not long after, I came home from work, and for several days in a row, I saw this Lord Li Rui sitting in a carriage and entering Master Qingfeng's house."

"The night before last, I returned home in the middle of the night and saw a dark figure jumping into Master Qingfeng's house. I thought I had encountered a thief, so I jumped over the wall and chased him in. However, I didn't expect that I would hear a shocking secret..."
