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

"Princess Anle, as a woman, you are not allowed to interfere with Lord Zhou's trial of the case."

The Minister of Rites Gao Huaizhen glared at Tao Yuwei and harshly criticized her for interfering in their case.

Of course, he hated the crow standing on Tao Yuwei's shoulder even more.

No one knows that in Gao Huaizhen's heart, what he hates most is the crow, a very unlucky bird, which reminds him of some unforgettable things in the past.

Tao Yuwei knew a lot of gossip about Gao Huaizhen, the Minister of Rites. She had recently collected a lot of gossip about ministers in the court.

All this is thanks to the crow standing on her shoulder and the huge group of family members behind it.

She didn't mind being the one to expose the hypocrisy of the man in front of her to the world.

Gao Huaizhen looks serious, but he is actually a pervert.

Not only did he secretly plot against his colleagues' wives, he even did not spare his own daughter-in-law.

The eldest son of the Minister of Rites fell seriously ill not long after he got married. Taking advantage of his son's long-term bedridden state, the Minister of Rites used some trickery to get his daughter-in-law.

He is not satisfied with this and wants to monopolize others every day.

He had been looking for a famous doctor for his son for many years, but his son's condition was not cured and became worse.

There is still some specific details to be discussed here.

My son’s two-year-old fat grandson is actually his youngest son.

All this information is based on the Crow family. They searched the entire imperial city.

"Mr. Gao looks down on women so much, but as far as I know, when Mr. Gao was young, it was your widowed mother who raised you with great difficulty."

"After you grew up, you married a gentle and virtuous daughter of a country gentry. She took great pains to support your studies. She often sold her dowry and went to her parents' home to borrow money from her brother and sister-in-law to help you pay the tuition for the academy and the travel expenses to Beijing."

"That poor woman worked hard for you for many years, taking care of your parents-in-law and raising your children. When they became seriously ill one after another, she borrowed money from everywhere to pay for their medical treatment. When there was no cure, she sent them away one after another. After you passed the imperial examination, she actually wrote a letter of divorce and kicked them out."

"I wonder if this is true, Mr. Gao?"

Tao Yuwei's words made Gao Huaizhen's face turn pale.

He pointed at Tao Yuwei with a look of horror for a long time but didn't say anything.

This Princess Anle, is she his nemesis?

How could she know so clearly what happened back then?

Could it be that someone leaked the news back then?

No, that's not right. Those people? They were all dealt with properly.

It has been many years since this happened.

All the so-called evidence disappeared.

Maybe she was making up stories based on rumors to deceive him maliciously, so he must not fall for her trick. Otherwise, he would lose his composure and expose his true colors, which would be more trouble than gain.

In front of Zhou Qiheng, you must not be careless and must deal with him with caution.

"Princess Anle, please stop talking nonsense here and slandering my reputation. My wife is from the Duke of Xian's Mansion, not the daughter of a squire as you say."

That woman who was not presentable died of illness many years ago.

As for the two children she gave birth to, they also fell off the cliff and died.

As long as he denies it, Princess Anle can't do anything to him no matter how much she says.

It is true that Princess Anle is favored by His Majesty, but she cannot participate in everything.

But without evidence, Your Majesty cannot easily punish him even if he knows the rumors about him.

If he had encouraged more of his disciples to speak up for him, the matter would have been resolved.

But this Princess Anle is very hateful.

In order to gain face in front of His Majesty, he made things difficult for the princes and princesses at every turn, and even spared no effort for him, a minister who was one of the six ministers.

The General's Mansion must fall, otherwise, he might be the one to suffer.

As for her father, Tao Zhihong, he has received reliable information that someone is secretly targeting the General's Mansion.

When the time comes, he just needs to quietly add fuel to the fire.

But it is very difficult for the Tao family to escape.

After thinking it all through, Gao Huaizhen's mood eased a little.

"Master Gao is naturally very clear whether this princess is talking nonsense or not."

Tao Yuwei looked him up and down with contempt.

This made Gao Huaizhen feel very uncomfortable all over and a little scared.

"Princess Anle, you maliciously disturbed the court of the Dali Temple. Lord Zhou and Lord Anle are both like this. Please ask someone to get her out as soon as possible."

"My time is very precious. I still have some official business to attend to. I don't have any extra free time to waste here."

Gao Huaizhen stood up angrily and was about to walk out of the Dali Temple.

Hearing this, Tao Yuwei found it funny. She wouldn't fall for it.

"Mr. Gao, you are really good at making nice words sound high-sounding. Haven't you been confined to the palace by His Majesty recently to reflect on your mistakes? How can you do official business?"

"If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely accuse you of disobeying the emperor's order and deceiving the emperor."

Tao Yuwei's words frightened Gao Huaizhen so much that he became uneasy and trembling.

"You..." Gao Huaizhen was so anxious that he almost couldn't breathe. He lost his composure for a moment and actually knelt on the ground, raised his hands and said, "Princess Anle, please don't make malicious assumptions about me."

"I am loyal to Your Majesty. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my heart for you. I have never disobeyed Your Majesty's order as you claim."

Gao Huaizhen refused to mention his house arrest.

Instead, he complained for himself in front of everyone.

Zhou Qiheng and his master, who had been watching quietly, were enjoying the situation and did not interrupt the confrontation between Tao Yuwei and the two adults.

They didn't expect Princess Anle would bring them such a big surprise.

After Princess Anle personally came out and made a random remark, Tian Ce and Gao Huaizhen completely lost the arrogance and conceit they had when they first arrived.

"Oh, I cannot afford such a gift from Mr. Gao. If you have any excuses, please go and talk to the Emperor!"

Tao Yuwei stood up, walked to Gao Huaizhen who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile.

This Gao Huaizhen, who faced the frame-up by Li Rui and his second uncle in the court last time, actually dared to stand up and add fuel to the fire.

Things change, and it's her turn this time.

Gao Huaizhen then realized that he had actually knelt down in panic.

Thinking of his own performance, he suddenly felt completely ashamed.

He put his hands on the ground, quickly stood up, and sat back in his chair with a sullen face.

Yu Meiyao, who was kneeling on the ground and witnessing all this, looked at Tao Yuwei with gratitude.

She had been in the capital for two months and had heard about some of Princess Anle's glorious deeds.

At that time, after she knew what Princess Anle had done, she was very envious.

It turns out that some women can live so freely and unrestrainedly.

Unlike her, her parents were beaten to death in front of her, but she was powerless to do anything.

After going through untold hardships, she arrived in the capital, intending to file a complaint with the emperor. However, she was captured by a high-ranking official of the Tian family in the capital, and was sent to her boss as a skinny horse from Yunzhou.

The suffering she experienced in Gao's house almost made her lose the will to live.

Thinking about how her biological parents were beaten to death and she hadn't yet taken revenge, she couldn't just die in obscurity for the sake of her dignity.

What if she was insulted?

In order to avenge my parents, I have to grit my teeth and survive.

After it's done, it won't be too late for her to follow them.

But now she is weak and does not have enough evidence to bring down these two people who are worse than pigs and dogs.

I don’t know how Lord Zhou ended her case.

Standing at the gate of Dali Temple, ignoring the crows' cries overhead, Guo Buyan, who watched the whole process, gained a new understanding of Tao Yuwei's behavior of scolding the two officials from the Ministry of Rites.

This Princess Anle is just as the rumors say, she dares to say anything.

The other person is hundreds of times more informed than him. I'm so envious.

For some reason, he enjoyed watching it.

As the grandson of the Empress Dowager, he is a very powerful figure in the imperial city of the Great Zhou.

But now he found that what he had done before was not worth mentioning in front of Princess Anle.

His arrogance and dominance are clearly revealed, with no intention of concealing it at all.

He lives a more free and easy life than his royal relative.

In the past, whenever he led people in horse racing and cockfighting in the imperial city, he would be impeached in the court. His uncle, who was the Minister of the Dali Temple, suffered a lot and was innocently implicated by him.

When my uncle, who was bullied in the court, returned home and my father found out, he would be hung up and beaten until his skin was torn.

Look at Princess Anle, she is much more domineering than him.

She dared to come to the Dali Temple court with great confidence and angrily confront the court officials, but they could not do anything to her.

No, as a member of the Empress Dowager's family, he couldn't admit defeat.

Tian Linwen was very disappointed with his father's performance.

Unexpectedly, Guo Buyan would also make mistakes.

That day, outside the residence of the Great General, he ran to join in the fun, believed what was said, and said a few words for Tian Linwen. Thinking about it now, he must have been crazy at the time.

How could Princess Anle, who was so clear-headed, fall for Tian Linwen, a mere clerk in the Ministry of War?

Hey, before you offend someone to death, show your goodwill quickly so that you can join in the fun later.

Guo Buyan thought of Tao Xueqi, whom he had rescued two days ago, and his mind turned slightly.

Let’s first see how Lord Zhou handles this case. As for the matter of making friends with Princess Anle, we can talk about it after this matter is concluded.

"Master Zhou, I have a witness here who can prove that everything I said about Master Gao is true. Of course, he also knows some things about Master Gao and Master Tian."

Before Tao Yuwei came, she had wanted to see how two high-ranking officials of the imperial court could be brought down by a peasant girl with solid evidence.

She just made a few sarcastic remarks and added fuel to the fire.

But after arriving, I realized that this poor peasant girl did not have any strong evidence to bring down the two sanctimonious hypocrites.

Her words were like a thunderbolt, drawing the attention of everyone present to her.

"Princess Anle, you have so casually given false evidence and framed court officials. I must submit a petition to His Majesty to revoke your title of princess and thoroughly investigate who is the mastermind behind your conspiracy."

Gao Huaizhen is a shrewd man who wants people to think that Tao Yuwei is being arranged by her family and is deliberately targeting him.

He did this simply to make the matter bigger, draw more people into the game, and create the illusion that the General's Mansion had secretly surrendered to a certain prince and was maliciously involved in the party struggle. In this way, he could take the opportunity to get away unscathed.

Zhou Qiheng ignored Gao Huaizhen and stated on the spot, "Since Princess Anle has witnesses related to this case, please come to the hall for questioning."

Gao Huaizhen felt uneasy.

Who is it? Not afraid of the power of the Gao family, come out and testify.

Tian Ce was much calmer than him.

There was nothing wrong at home, so any witnesses who appeared would not cause any harm to the Tian family.

Guo Buyan, who was watching the fun, had his strong curiosity aroused by Tao Yuwei.

Who is the witness she is talking about?

How can this witness prove that what Princess Anle just said about Mr. Gao in the past is true?

Some people who liked to watch the fun ignored the flock of crows flying in the sky and still crowded the gate of the Dali Temple.

They and Guo Buyan were all curious about who the witness Tao Yuwei had invited was.

"Master Gao, I haven't even asked for a witness yet, but you're already accusing me of something. Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Are you doing this to cover up your own crimes? And you don't dare to let this princess invite witnesses to appear here?"

Tao Yuwei glanced coldly at Gao Huaizhen, who was sitting restlessly, with no disdain in her eyes at all.

Gao Huaizhen's head was buzzing because of what she said, and his face turned the color of liver due to anger.

"I am not afraid of you calling any witnesses. I just suspect that your intentions are sinister."

He maintained his dignified image and defended himself.

"mighty!"

"Please bring the witness to the court!"

As the Dali Temple runners' sticks struck the ground, the lawyer loudly called for witnesses.

Everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the yamen.

The onlookers gathered at the door automatically made way for them to leave.

However, after waiting for a long time, not even the witness showed up.

Everyone looked at each other, all puzzled.

Gao Huaizhen, whose mind was tense, felt relieved when he saw that there were no witnesses outside the government office.

"Princess Anle, the witness you mentioned did not appear. In my opinion, there is no so-called witness at all. You made up a lie to argue with me. Lord Zhou, she maliciously disturbed the court. How should we punish her?"

Gao Huaizhen looked down at everyone present and questioned Zhou Qiheng loudly.

Tao Yuwei was not panicked at all.

Of course you need to be patient when waiting for witnesses.

At this time, in the palace.

Xiao Lichen, the commander of the Xiaoyu Guard, was reporting the news he had found out to Emperor Jianchang.

"Your Majesty, I have found out who is behind the rumor that Princess Anle forced herself to be with Tian Linwen."

When Emperor Jianchang heard this, he stood up suddenly and asked urgently, "Who is that person?"
