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

Xiao Lichen waited quietly for Concubine Huo's answer.

However, this favorite concubine who seemed lawless and even superior to Queen Gu in the harem now had a struggling look on her face and seemed to have some reservations.

Hei Yan snorted coldly, "I gave you a chance, but if you don't take advantage of it, forget it."

Concubine Huo took a deep breath and said slowly, "Before, it was that person who had this idea, but I disagreed and it didn't work out."

The person she was referring to was her lover, who was also the Fourth Prince's real father.

Seeing Xiao Lichen frowning after hearing this, Concubine Huo quickly continued, "I know there is an old eunuch whose behavior is rather suspicious. He lives in a palace not far from the Imperial Hospital."

"Then why do you think he is suspicious?" Hei Yan continued to question Concubine Huo on behalf of his master.

They hoped to get more information from her about the palace that they didn't have before.

Imperial Concubine Huo seemed to remember something terrible. She said in a fearful tone, "A year ago, I went to the Imperial Hospital several times in person in order to make my skin whiter, but I saw an elderly eunuch walking out of a side courtyard of the Imperial Hospital."

"There were a lot of herbs drying in the side yard. When he saw me, he hurriedly lowered his head. When he walked out of the Imperial Hospital, I noticed that he was walking towards a nearby palace. Usually, only a few young eunuchs lived in that palace."

When Concubine Huo said this, she suddenly turned around, walked to the corner of the cell, sat down, hugged her head with her arms, buried it in her bent legs, and began to sleep.

After hearing what she said, Xiao Lichen felt even more that Concubine Huo was hiding many things from him.

What she confessed was ambiguous. At least she didn't specify a direction. She also mentioned a suspicious person, but she kept silent about more specific things and was unwilling to continue.

Xiao Lichen understood that Concubine Huo must have realized that they were using the Second Prince to blackmail her, so she was unwilling to say anything more.

This trip to the Heavenly Prison was not without gain.

Even if the old eunuch is no longer in the palace, he will be a clue that cannot be ignored.

After all, those servants had seen what the old eunuch looked like.

The middle-aged eunuch who helped the young eunuch in Wenying Palace to prepare the medicine had also asked people who had come into contact with this person to describe his appearance to the painter.

Unless these two people are dead, he will be able to find them based on the clues.

As for why Concubine Huo was afraid when she mentioned this mysterious old eunuch, Xiao Lichen had a bold guess.

However, it needs to be verified.

"Empress Huo, why did you want to murder the family of Duke Zhuguo?"

Xiao Lichen's dangerous voice made Concubine Huo, who was pretending to be asleep, tremble all over.

"I don't know, I don't know anything."

Concubine Huo didn't even raise her head and answered in a muffled voice.

Xiao Lichen thought of the list of people he got from the Huo family's study, and a fierce murderous intent burst out in his dark and dangerous eyes.

"Back then, was my aunt Han Ruoxuan in the palace really because she had murdered the Fourth Prince?"

Faced with Xiao Lichen's angry questioning, she maintained her original posture and did not dare to move.

In Xiao Lichen's opinion, her silence was caused by her guilty conscience and her fear of facing him.

"Execution!"

The hatred and sadness hidden in Xiao Lichen's heart suddenly overwhelmed his rationality and made it difficult for him to completely calm down.

soon.

Heiyan brought two Xiaoyu guards, got the key, opened the door of the cell, carried the panicked Concubine Huo, and took her to a cell specially used for interrogation.

Her arms were chained to the wall.

His legs were entangled in circles of heavy iron chains, making him unable to move at all.

Xiao Lichen sat in a wheelchair, keeping a certain distance, allowing Hei Yan and his men to interrogate him.

He chose not to get too close.

The self-control he had developed over the years completely collapsed when he faced one of the murderers who killed his grandmother's family. He picked up the torture instrument and killed her with a knife.

He could follow the list and accuse them of any crime and quickly cut them into pieces one by one with his own hands.

To be frank, he could indeed do this easily.

But, he couldn't do that.

His heart wouldn't allow it.

He wanted to erase the slander for his grandfather who had honored his whole life, and to seek justice for his uncle and aunt who had died unjustly.

Dispel the merciless slaughter caused by ugly sin.

And there is a clear blue sky above their heads.

What's more, I want to seek justice for the mother who has been tortured for half her life, and let the blind man, who was completely abandoned by his mother, give up his obsession and become himself again.

If Tao Yuwei knew what he was thinking, she would definitely exclaim that the villain was too upright.

Unlike what is written in the original book, he was forced into a desperate situation, filled with hatred, dressed in red, and killed people indiscriminately.

He liked red the most. If any minister in the court made a mistake, he would be arrested and taken to the prison overnight.

He even killed the family of his biological father, Prince Yong's favorite concubine. In broad daylight, he brought his men and took advantage of the grand birthday banquet held at the Liu Mansion, and killed the entire family on the spot in front of his father.

Blood flowed like a river, and Prince Yong fainted on the spot due to the shock.

Even several powerful princes and royal brothers who were vying for the throne were all killed by him.

Inside the prison cell at this moment.

Hei Yan held the extremely sharp tendon-breaking knife with a cold glow in his hand and said coldly, "Tell me, why did you frame the second Miss Han and why did you frame the family of Duke Zhuguo?"

"If you don't tell me, I will cut off your tendons and peel off your skin."

At that time, when the incident happened, Emperor Jianchang had been named the Crown Prince, and Concubine Huo was just a concubine in the Eastern Palace.

Emperor Jianchang was not in the palace at the time, but was secretly sent to the south by the previous emperor to provide disaster relief.

The Fourth Prince is only a few years old.

At that time, Han Ruoxuan, the second daughter of the Super First-Rank Pillar Duke's Mansion, was attending a palace banquet in the palace. Next to the artificial lake in the palace, everyone saw with their own eyes that the fourth prince, who was only a few years old, fell into the lake, and standing next to him was Han Ruoxuan.

After investigation, someone came forward and pointed out that it was Han Ruoxuan who threw the fourth prince into the lake.

The late emperor was furious and ignored everyone's pleas for mercy. He ordered the imperial guards to execute Han Ruoxuan on the spot, accusing him of murdering the royal family.

Concubine Huo was so frightened that her legs were shaking, she wet her pants and fainted.

A bag of water was poured down, and Concubine Huo was awakened from her coma by the cold water.

As soon as I open my eyes.

She saw Heiyan holding a knife in his hand and slowly approaching her.

She didn't have time to think and resolutely bit her tongue to commit suicide.

Thanks to Hei Yan's quick reaction, he acted like lightning, pinched Concubine Huo's chin with one hand, twisted it hard, and there was a click.

Her jaw was dislocated.

Xiao Lichen didn't expect Concubine Huo to be so stubborn.

It's getting late outside.

Judging from her various behaviors, who is the person she wants to protect?

"Forget it, let's stop here for tonight and take her back to where she came from."

Xiao Lichen's emotions had stabilized a lot. After regaining his sanity, he thought for a moment.

As for the lover of Imperial Concubine Huo, he will go to the residence of the General tomorrow to test Princess Anle, and perhaps he will get the answer he wants.

Perhaps, Princess Anle knows more.

However, Princess Anle doesn't know everything. There are some things she doesn't know, and he will investigate them.

"Let's go!" Xiao Lichen took a last look into the cell before leaving.

Heiyan pushed him away from the extremely gloomy cell.

About an hour later.

A dark shadow appeared in the cell.
