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

Mrs. Tian Song was so frightened by what she said that she slipped and almost fell to the ground.

"Princess Anle, I want to see how capable you are to undermine the Tian family."

Song was so angry that she clenched her fists and her arms kept shaking. She wanted to give Tao Yuwei a few big beatings.

She suppressed the anger burning in her heart, clenched her chattering teeth, and walked out of the palace quickly without looking back.

The Empress summoned her to the palace. Due to her master's position in the court, she was polite to her and was not as arrogant as Anle.

In order to advance his career further, the master wanted to find a strong daughter-in-law for his son a few years ago.

Today, the master returned home from court. After hearing the rumors about his son and Anle, he was not angry but very happy. He wanted to get close to the Tao family.

No, she had to rush back home as soon as possible and tell the master how hateful Anle was and that she would never agree to marry Anle.

She also had to stop her son from agreeing to the marriage.

Tao Yuwei looked at the panicked Song and reminded the eunuch beside the queen, "Mrs. Tian left alone."

The eunuch cried out, then reacted and hurried to the palace gate to see him off.

She remembered that this Mrs. Tian also had a story.

There seems to be something fishy about Mr. Tian's background.

Well, after she returns from the palace, she will spread some gossip about the Tian family and how they dealt with her. I believe it will be very exciting then.

Then it will be just a matter of time before she can step down from the Tian family.

I believe that by then, Mrs. Tian will be convinced of her abilities.

I'm looking forward to the other party's reaction.

Tao Yuwei turned around and walked into the palace.

When they arrived at the door of the imperial study, the eunuch chief Zhao Chong was waiting inside.

His young apprentice Zhao Kui was guarding outside.

When he saw Tao Yuwei, Zhao Kui went forward to greet her enthusiastically.

Tao Yuwei looked around the study and found nothing unusual. She asked Zhao Kui anxiously, "Is the Emperor busy in there? Go ask Manager Zhao if I can go in for a while."

As a young eunuch beside the emperor, Zhao Kui knew very well how favored Princess Anle was in front of Emperor Jianchang.

"Princess Anle, wait a moment. I will go in and report to Master."

Zhao Kui walked into the imperial study quietly with light footsteps.

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Jianchang was meeting with several court ministers.

They were discussing how to prevent floods in summer.

When Zhao Chong saw the young disciple, he thought there was something urgent, so he went to the door. After listening to what the young disciple said, he followed Zhao Kui outside.

When he saw Tao Yuwei, he smiled before he spoke.

"Manager Zhao, is Uncle Huang very busy recently?"

Tao Yuwei was not sure when Emperor Jianchang was poisoned for the first time. She tried hard to recall the plot and it was probably something that happened in the past few days.

The poison that Emperor Jianchang was poisoned with was colorless and tasteless, and there was no special reaction at first after taking it.

Even if others have been poisoned, it is difficult to detect.

However, the effect of this poison is more serious in the later stages.

It seems that she has to think of a way and call the imperial physician to take his pulse first.

"Princess Anle is well. His Majesty is discussing state affairs with the ministers. Please wait patiently, Princess Anle."

No matter how busy His Majesty is, he will always make time to see Princess Anle every time she comes to the palace.

None of the princes and princesses in the palace have this treatment.

Your Majesty is not someone who can be seen by everyone who wants to.

This person is extremely favored by His Majesty, and he cannot be neglected.

Tao Yuwei was not surprised at his answer at all.

No matter who sits on the throne of emperor, no one who does not want to be a tyrant can have an easy time. He certainly cannot sleep in and must attend morning court. He has to get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs.

"I will go to the side hall to wait for the Emperor first. Today I will have lunch with the Emperor. Please let Eunuch Zhao know when he is not busy."

Zhao Chong smiled and quickly agreed.

He turned his gaze to his young apprentice and instructed, "Quickly take Princess Anle to the side hall to rest. Remember to bring some fruits and cakes."

Zhao Kui nodded quickly in agreement.

Tao Yuwei followed Zhao Kui's lead and went to the side hall with her maid Bai Shuang to rest.

When Zhao Chong returned to the imperial study, Emperor Jianchang was discussing with the Minister of Revenue how to raise sufficient food and fodder and was worried about it.

"The northern barbarians dare not stop, and from time to time they send small teams to harass the border areas, often crossing the border to burn, kill and loot. It is really hateful."

"In order to prevent the northern barbarians from counterattacking the border cities, we must not be careless in collecting food and fodder."

Minister of Revenue Niu Zhihuan looked distressed, "Your Majesty, the Jiangnan region has been experiencing continuous rain since the beginning of summer. The crops in the fields have been affected to some extent by the waterlogging, resulting in a significant reduction in production. This has a great impact on the collection of food and fodder."

As for last year's old grain, it has been almost used up. Every year, the grain consumed in maintaining the army alone accounts for most of the tax silver in the national treasury.

Several other ministers from the six ministries looked at each other and could not offer any good solutions.

At the end of the discussion, someone even suggested increasing the tax rate by another 20%.

After considering it, Emperor Jianchang decided to discuss it at the next court session.

After everyone dispersed and left the imperial study, Zhao Chong told Emperor Jianchang that Tao Yuwei had come to the palace to wait for him for lunch.

"Anle is here? Please invite her in. I haven't seen her for several days."

Emperor Jianchang put away his frown, put down the memorial to be reviewed, and a smile appeared on his face.

Everyone dislikes Anle for her arrogance, but in his opinion, this girl is very simple and sincere. She has a sincere heart that will treat anyone who treats her well even better. She is actually very easy to get along with.

Tao Yuwei was eating snacks made by the imperial kitchen in the palace, but her mind was on what reason she should use to ask the imperial physician to take the pulse of Emperor Jianchang.

When she saw Zhao Chong coming, she knew that Emperor Jianchang had temporarily finished his official duties.

Walking into the imperial study, the cool temperature calmed her slightly restless heart.

"Uncle Emperor, I want the sweet and sour fish and eight-treasure duck made by the imperial kitchen. I plan to stay and have dinner with you today. Do you mind?"

Tao Yuwei walked to the jade table with a smile and stood still, taking the opportunity to observe Emperor Jianchang's expression carefully.

There was nothing unusual, just like always.

Maybe he hasn't been poisoned yet.

"Why not? I haven't had a meal with you for a long time. Please stay today."

Emperor Jianchang had a kind smile on his gentle and elegant face.

He looked at Tao Yuwei as if he was looking at his own daughter, with a certain indifference and indulgence.

When Tao Yuwei saw that he agreed, she immediately had an idea in her mind.

She thought of a good idea, which was to ask Emperor Jianchang to summon the imperial physician to take his pulse and examine his health.

It was already time for lunch.

Emperor Jianchang and Tao Yuwei went to have their meal.

Tao Yuwei was in a good mood as she sat down to have dinner with the emperor and looked at the various dishes on the long table.

When lunch was almost over, she accidentally swallowed a fish bone and it got stuck in her throat.

Emperor Jianchang anxiously summoned the imperial physician.
