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

Tao Yuwei, who had just woken up and tidied her appearance, was about to go to the palace when she met Tao Zhihong, who had just returned from the palace, in the yard.

When Tao Zhihong heard his daughter say that she was going to the palace, he remembered what he had heard from his daughter before and knew the purpose of her going.

"Don't go in such hot weather. When I come back, His Majesty will be busy reviewing memorials."

Tao Yuwei looked at her father strangely.

If she wasn't allowed to go, why did he go there on his own without fearing the heat?

Dad's face looked a little serious, as if something serious had happened.

The girl's puzzled look was too obvious, so Tao Zhihong said to her as they walked, "Come on, go to your mother's yard, and I'll talk to you."

Tao Yuwei curiously followed her father's footsteps and came to Wu's yard.

Seeing her husband coming back, her daughter followed him. Mrs. Wu didn't care about her daughter's presence, and walked up to him quickly, took Tao Zhihong's hand and looked him up and down.

"My husband, after entering the palace, what did His Majesty say?"

Ever since the couple discovered that they could hear their daughter's inner thoughts, they learned about the crisis in the General's Mansion through her inner voice.

The husband secretly sent people to investigate in advance, and confirmed that the crisis his daughter mentioned did exist.

After obtaining some evidence, the husband decided to take the lead and expose the conspiracy to His Majesty.

As for the rest, Your Majesty will send people to check it personally, which will surely break the other party's conspiracy and also make Your Majesty be on guard.

Let him know in advance how restless his sons are.

If his sons want to deal with and use the General's Mansion, it depends on whether the entire Tao family agrees.

Being in the royal family, in the face of power and the throne, there is no family affection to speak of.

His Majesty personally took action to deal with his sons, which indirectly helped the Tao family resolve the crisis.

"I told your Majesty that someone was recruiting soldiers in private under my name and slandering me for embezzling military funds. Your Majesty was very angry after hearing this."

Tao Zhihong told the mother and daughter what had happened.

[Dad must have known about Tao Baichuan's intention to collude with outsiders and steal the military token.]

[As expected of the famous and brave general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has actually caught the person who slandered him for embezzling military pay. ]

[The emperor did not take back the military token from my father, which means he still needs my father's loyalty.]

【Haha, there will be something interesting to watch next. 】

Tao Zhihong and Wu silently glanced at the silly Tao Yuwei.

"I'm very lucky that His Majesty didn't blame you for negligence and dereliction of duty." Wu finally put her mind at ease.

Seeing that his daughter pricked up her ears and was still listening to their conversation, Tao Zhihong briefly mentioned the matter of Emperor Jianchang taking the medicine.

Wu pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Majesty is still young, why are you taking medicine at this time?"

The couple remembered that their daughter had said in a letter that His Majesty would be secretly poisoned.

The reason why he brought it up at this moment was that he wanted to find out more about the truth of His Majesty being poisoned through his daughter.

Tao Yuwei heard from her father that before he left the imperial study, he saw His Majesty about to drink medicine, but was interrupted by her father because of important matters.

She stood up anxiously. No, she had to go to the palace and stop Emperor Jianchang from taking the medicine.

It’s hard to say, someone may have tampered with the medicine this time.

She clearly remembered that Emperor Jianchang was poisoned before his birthday.

The specific day was not mentioned.

Now, there are still two days until his 44th birthday, which is exactly the time.

[Uncle Emperor must not be in any danger, the person behind this must be caught as soon as possible.]

[Before there is any evidence, I will tell His Majesty that he will be suspicious of the General's Mansion. This matter cannot be told to him directly.]

[If he wants to catch that person in the palace without alerting the enemy, the only person who has this ability is the villain.]

[It seems that I need to send a letter to the Prince of Yong and ask him for help. ]

The last time he sent someone over to collect evidence, he spoke very nicely about cooperation.

Now, she needs his help. She believes that after he knows that His Majesty is facing the risk of being poisoned, he will definitely help with all his heart.

His Majesty is a wise and benevolent person, not the short-sighted and intolerant monarch.

Because of this, the big villain must be like her and not want anything to happen to Emperor Jianchang.

Tao Zhihong: "......" Isn't it good to have him as your father? Why look for another man?

The little cabbage that had not yet grown up in his family actually ran out to find a pig, and the pig was a sick one.

Wu's reaction was more dramatic.

She lost her balance and almost fell into her husband's arms.

Tao Zhihong subconsciously reached out to help, and brought the person into his arms.

Did the girl really lie before? The song she sang might be the story between her and Prince Yong.

When Wu thought about how Prince Yong clearly had another woman but was cheating on her, a girl who was not yet of marriageable age, she felt so angry that her heart ached.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Tao Yuwei looked at the couple who suddenly leaned against each other in confusion.

[Wow! Dad and Mom are so loving! I can't help myself in front of them.]

[Ahem, this is not suitable for children, but I hope it won't hinder you guys! ]

Tao Yuwei turned around and left with a smile.

Mrs. Wu quickly pushed away her husband's arms, and when she looked at her daughter with a blushing face, he had disappeared.

This girl is so young, yet she dares to tease her.

"My lord, what should we do about His Majesty's affairs?"

Tao Zhihong looked at his wife, who blushed rarely, and laughed out loud with his head tilted back.

"No hurry. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace again and give Eunuch Zhao some advice in private. Maybe he will pay attention to this matter."

He took his wife's hand and walked into the room.

"Ma'am, I'm very tired recently. How about you massage my shoulders?"

Shortly after entering, Tao Zhihong closed the door.

As for just now, they were still angry about their daughter looking for a man outside, but at this moment, they were only concerned about their love, and had no idea that their daughter had sent someone to send a letter to Prince Yong's Mansion.

Xiao Lichen sat in the study and opened the envelope that had just been delivered. After seeing the contents inside, he immediately ordered Heiyan to take him to Manxiang Tower in the city.

After Tao Yuwei asked someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Lichen, she went out with her maid as usual.

On the road.

Her carriage almost collided with an inconspicuous vehicle, but fortunately, the coachman had great skills and managed to avoid it safely.

Tao Yuwei was anxious to meet Xiao Lichen at the moment, so she did not pursue the other party's rude behavior of driving the carriage.

After the carriage she was riding in disappeared around the corner of the street, the low-key carriage changed its route and came to a house. When the door opened, the carriage quickly entered the house.

The car curtain opened.

The eighth prince Xiao Chengyan jumped off the carriage.

"Master, according to your instructions, our people have warned that person."

Xiao Chengyan walked quickly to the meeting room.

"Arrange for them to leave the city as soon as possible, without any mistakes!"

"Yes, but..." As Xiao Chengyan's personal bodyguard, Yin Gen reported the news he received without daring to hide it.

"Master, Tao Baichuan has already recruited some people according to the original plan. He has requested to join the Imperial Guard. Should I arrange for him to serve in the palace?"

Xiao Chengyan stood with his back to him and was silent for a moment, "Don't use our people when doing this."

"Yes!"

After everyone left, Xiao Lichen stood there alone in deep thought.

Princess Anle? He had wanted to meet her in person several times but never did.

Today, I unexpectedly met him halfway.

But he changed his mind again. He decided to leave this woman who might go crazy at any time.

Before, almost everyone who had contact with her had bad luck, and he didn't want to be contaminated by the bad luck.

Whether she is worthy of him marrying or not, it will take some time to observe.

He wanted to see how much his father doted on this little girl who was not even of marriageable age, and to what extent he could dote on her.

There has never been a king who is not suspicious of his ministers who have military power.

He didn't believe at all that his father, who seemed to be a wise ruler, would be completely defenseless against Tao Zhihong and his father-in-law, the General Weiyuan.

Next, he will carefully check and observe, and if there is anything wrong, he will adjust the plan in time.

The building is filled with fragrance.

Tao Yuwei asked for a private room, ordered dessert, and sat down to eat. Two maids stood quietly and politely by the side, pouring tea for their princess from time to time.

She picked up the glutinous rice and lotus root cake and ate it with relish, when someone knocked on the door.

Motioning to Yunxiao to open the door, she quickly finished the piece of cake in her hand.

The moment the door opened, Hei Yan was seen pushing Xiao Lichen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, into the room.

"Hello, Prince Yong, come and have a cup of tea."

It was rare for Tao Yuwei to greet people in a friendly manner, but in the eyes of the master and servant, they thought she was planning something bad.

"Princess Anle, please tell me what's going on. My master has been very busy lately."

Hei Yan still remembered the little girl in front of him, who had been chasing after his master. He was afraid that she would suddenly pounce on him.

It would be bad if you don't want to marry anyone other than your master for the sake of reputation.

Heiyan pushed Xiao Lichen and stopped in front of the round table diagonally opposite her.

With him between them and the table, Princess Anle had no chance of getting close to her master.

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

After Tao Yuwei personally poured a cup of tea for Xiao Lichen, she was too lazy to deal with him anymore.

The friendly smile on her face towards him was like a bubble seeing the sun, fleeting, and the speed at which her expression changed was astonishingly fast.

"Prince Yong, would you like some snacks?" She took the snacks in one hand and put them into her mouth, while pushing the plate towards him with the other hand.

"I don't need it. Thank you, Princess Anle, for the miraculous medicine that saved my mother."

When his deep and calm peach blossom eyes looked at her, there was no more indifference and coldness.

Instead, there was a hint of doting in his eyes, which made Tao Yuwei, who had just been looking at his face, smile knowingly.

[It's rare for a big villain to be so kind to me, but after all, I am his mother's savior. ]

[It would be nice if he would smile at me more often. Facing the smile of a peerless handsome man, I can feel good all day long.]

She ate her dessert, her eyes fixed on his face wantonly, with a shining light.

A blush gradually appeared on Xiao Lichen's cold and indifferent face. Neither of them spoke for a while, and the atmosphere in the private room became increasingly strange.

Hei Yan, who was standing next to Xiao Lichen, was dissatisfied with her straightforward and unconcealed gaze.

As expected, he couldn't have any expectations for Princess Anle. Considering that she delivered medicine to save the princess, he gave her some face.

Hei Yan snorted heavily and actually stood in front of his master, trying to block him.

Tao Yuwei finally reacted and said with a smile, "Oh, as friends, we should help each other, you're welcome!"

After hearing her answer, Xiao Lichen gave up the idea of ​​probing her.

She was young but quite smart, and she kept silent about the miraculous medicine in her hands.

It would be great if she was willing to sell him the medicine she had. It was so effective and could save many people.

He didn't like her calling him a villain.

The way she looked at him was different from before. Although it was still bold and straightforward, there was less possessiveness in her eyes and it was mostly pure admiration. But for some reason, he felt a little restless.

"Princess Anle, how many of these medicines do you have?"

Tao Yuwei saw what Xiao Lichen was thinking, took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid, wiped her hands, shook her head and said, "There are not many left, you don't have to think about it."

"I have an urgent matter that I need your help to solve."

As she spoke, she motioned for everyone else to get out.

Hei Yan was very reluctant, but after seeing the sharp look in his master's eyes, he followed the two maids Yun Xiao and Bai Shuang out the door.

After the door of the private room was closed, Tao Yuwei did not say anything. Instead, she dipped her green and white jade-like index finger in tea and wrote on the table.

After seeing what she wrote, a look of astonishment flashed across Xiao Lichen's reserved and calm face.

Someone wants to harm my uncle?

Where did she get this information?

His eyes moved from the table to her little face, full of scrutiny.

"I heard it when I went to the palace to see the Seventh Princess last time. I walked outside the wall of an empty palace."

Tao Yuwei started to make up stories, she was not afraid of the other party's doubts.

[Your Majesty was poisoned before his birthday. The poison is colorless and tasteless. After taking it, it cannot be detected for the time being. The body can remain peaceful for a few years until it takes something that counteracts it, and then it will completely explode in the body.]

[Five or six years later, his health was completely broken. Several princes fought to the death for the throne. In the end, the male protagonist Xiao Chengyan won the position. However, he was a tyrant. Not only did he kill many people, he also failed to protect the country's borders. The northern barbarians broke through the mountains and rivers, and the Great Zhou no longer existed! ]

As for the mastermind behind the poisoning, it was undoubtedly the Eighth Prince.

However, I don’t know who was sent to complete this difficult task.

When she was reading the book, it didn't mention when he succeeded, so she didn't know the exact time.

The eighth prince, right?

In the past, he might not have easily believed what Anle said casually.

After her help these times, he inexplicably gained more trust in her.

Besides, since he was in the royal family, there was nothing Xiao Lichen couldn't believe.

Wasn't his maternal grandfather and his family also killed by those evil people because they stood in someone's way?

Princess Anle seems to have the ability to predict the future.

As a king, my uncle did have some minor flaws in some aspects, but he was definitely a diligent monarch.

He would never allow anyone to poison this kind-hearted emperor.

The eighth cousin who was often missing was better at hiding than the other princes.

Now that he knew it, he would not let the other party's evil plan succeed.

"Thank you for telling me such an important thing. Leave the rest to me."
