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

"No gift!"

A familiar cold voice quickly calmed down the angry Queen Gu.

Why is he here?

Without notification, Xiao Lichen's wheelchair had appeared in Changle Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have received news that someone is trying to take advantage of the situation and poison Your Majesty. Please leave here with me. The Xiaoyu Guards will protect you closely."

Upon hearing that someone was planning to assassinate him, Emperor Jianchang could no longer stay there.

"Well then, I'll leave Concubine Huo to the imperial physician." Emperor Jianchang had just stood up and had not yet left when his arm was tightly grabbed by the unconscious Concubine Huo.

Emperor Jianchang turned around and looked at the unconscious Concubine Huo with a slightly hesitant expression.

Seeing this, Xiao Lichen continued, "Your Majesty, those people have already attacked the Ninth Queen and Princess Anle. The harem is already very unsafe. For the sake of the country and the people of the Great Zhou, Your Majesty, please leave here with me as soon as possible."

Xiao Lichen also shared another piece of news, "In order to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, the Northern Barbarians have specially sent a delegation of more than 30,000 people to Beijing to celebrate. They have already settled in the largest post station in the southern city."

Hearing this, Emperor Jianchang was shocked. For his own safety, he had to leave.

Those northern barbarians coming to the capital at this time may not necessarily be coming to celebrate his birthday, they must have other purposes. He must summon all the ministers as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.

Emperor Jianchang looked at Concubine Huo who had her eyes closed tightly and consoled her, "My beloved, the situation is urgent. You are here. I will send people to protect your safety. I will go to the front court first to discuss important matters with the ministers."

Concubine Huo was lying on the bed with her eyes closed pretending to be sick, her heart filled with overwhelming hatred.

She hated Xiao Lichen for deliberately sabotaging her plans, and she also hated Emperor Jianchang for his ruthlessness.

Under the current circumstances, she can no longer keep anyone.

In that case, don't blame her for being so ruthless.

They forced her to do this. If they don't let her have an easy life, then no one else can have an easy life.

The hand that was tightly grasped by Emperor Jianchang slowly loosened.

"You all must take good care of Concubine Huo. Nothing can happen to her."

Emperor Jianchang sternly warned the palace maids who were kneeling on the ground.

"Yes!"

The palace maids trembled and knocked their heads to the ground, too frightened to move.

Subsequently.

Emperor Jianchang and others left Changle Palace.

After Concubine Huo's maid and others had left, she ordered everyone else to leave the hall and the door was closed.

The senior palace maid immediately got up from the ground and came to Concubine Huo's bed.

"My queen, their majesty and the others are gone, what should we do?"

Concubine Huo, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

There was something extremely cold in her eyes that were filled with chill.

The usually arrogant and beautiful face now becomes terrifying and sinister.

Her secret can no longer be hidden.

None of the people sent to kill Anle came back.

If she doesn't take action now, His Majesty will soon find out that she is responsible.

"Continue with the next plan. That position must belong to my son. No one else can take it away."

Neither can Your Majesty.

Otherwise, how could she be worthy of the years of effort she and that man had put in.

That person was unwilling to help her much, so she had to fight for it herself.

The head maid lowered her head in fear and said, "Imperial Physician Cao will be here soon. I hope Your Majesty will be careful."

Imperial Concubine Huo pursed her lips and snorted, "I understand. Go down and tell someone to do the job!"

Not long after, Cao Youliang, the chief of the Imperial Medical Bureau, came to Changle Palace for consultation.

After leaving Changle Palace, Emperor Jianchang and others did not go to Wenying Palace immediately, but hurried to the palace where Tao Yuwei was resting temporarily.

Seeing Emperor Jianchang and others, Tao Yuwei weakly got up from the bed.

[As expected of a villain, he is the only one who can call His Majesty back from the cunning Concubine Huo. ]

Before she could even salute, she was stopped by Emperor Jianchang.

"Why did Anle suddenly become so polite? I have ordered Xiao Yuwei to investigate what happened just now. The news will be reported soon."

Tao Yuwei barely stood up straight, thought for a moment, and said to Emperor Jianchang, "Uncle Emperor, I came to the palace today and wanted to see you. I heard that you were in the Empress Dowager's palace, so I rushed to the harem. Who would have thought that I would accidentally run into trouble."

Tao Yuwei briefly recounted what happened to her after she entered the palace.

After hearing this, Emperor Jianchang and Empress Gu both looked unhappy.

"Fortunately, at the critical moment, it was the Ninth Prince who called Uncle Gu, so I was able to survive. The first plan failed, and the second time, the palace maid came to give me medicine under the slogan of Cao Imperial Physician, and almost poisoned me to death."

Tao Yuwei made some appropriate concealment.

She has reached a tacit understanding with Uncle Gu that there are some things that His Majesty does not need to know clearly.

For example, her true strength.

The medicine brought by the palace maid was discovered and fell to the ground. However, she had someone collect some of the residual liquid from the ground and used it for an experiment on a mouse. The mouse bled to death after eating food mixed with the residual liquid.

Emperor Jianchang did not expect the matter to be so serious. He was so angry that his hands were shaking behind his back.

A vicious assassination occurred in the palace, which was a serious provocation to the imperial power.

They didn't even take him, the emperor, seriously.

How could Emperor Jianchang not be angry when he thought that the harem of a king was so dangerous.

"Chen'er, I leave this matter to you today. No matter who it is, once the results are found out, they will be severely punished!"

Although he usually disliked Queen Gu, Xiaojiu was a very likable child.

Someone took a desperate risk, disregarded the authority of the emperor, and almost killed his ninth prince. Does this mean that the person behind the scenes even dared to kill him?

After Xiao Lichen agreed, he continued, "Your Majesty, I have checked the bodies of those people. Each of them is not an ordinary skeleton. They all have good physiques from practicing martial arts. I suspect that these assassins who pretended to be eunuchs are very good at martial arts. They seem to be specially trained to be assassins."

Queen Gu was so frightened that her heart sank and her breathing slowed down.

She almost lost Xiaojiu.

Emperor Jianchang felt a chill all over his body. He had realized that someone in his harem was colluding with outsiders and wanted to harm him.

Xiao Lichen's eyes were on Tao Yuwei, who looked weak.

She was just about to tell His Majesty to pay more attention to the people around him, but after feeling the cold gaze, she glared at the other person fiercely.

[What are you looking at? You have already obtained the evidence that the Huo family was involved in the murder of the Zhuguo family, but you still haven't taken action. This princess almost died tragically at the hands of Concubine Huo. You, the commander of the Xiaoyu Guard, are just a figurehead! ]

[That old eunuch saw Imperial Concubine Huo secretly meeting a man. Who would have thought that His Majesty was also cuckolded without realizing it. That stupid Fourth Prince doesn't look like His Majesty's biological son. His Majesty must have kidney deficiency and couldn't satisfy Imperial Concubine Huo, so she cheated on him! ]

Tao Yuwei cursed Xiao Lichen in her heart for being incompetent, and even suspected that she was a spy sent by the Northern Barbarians.

Hearing her thoughts, Xiao Lichen withdrew his gaze from her, but he couldn't help but smile.
