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

In the palace, the third princess was very close to the queen, but she was incompatible with her biological mother, Concubine De.

Queen Gu sighed and said, "The Third Princess is good, but she is also Concubine De's child. Concubine De has other plans for the Third Princess' marriage, and I don't want to get involved and cause trouble."

Defei usually seems to be obedient and quieter than the other concubines of His Majesty, but she also has her own plans.

Compared with the Fu family, her Gu family is equally important. She doesn't want to help the eldest prince and get the support of the Wu family in vain. In the future, only her son, Xiaojiu, will be qualified to get that position.

The personal maid understood the queen's concerns and said nothing more. She walked out of Feng'an Palace and went to the imperial kitchen to ask the cook to make some iced sour plum soup, which she brought to Queen Gu to cool off in the hot summer.

Inside the carriage of Zuo Xiang’s family.

Nanny Lin carefully poured a cup of tea for Mou Qingyue. "Madam, that Princess Anle is too much. She actually dared to take advantage of your majesty's favor and took out a jade pendant to make you kneel down. She is humiliating you!"

Mou Qingyue felt very uncomfortable hearing Nanny Lin's words.

With a slap, Mou Qingyue slapped Nanny Lin in the face.

"She is not humiliating me. Given her usual arrogant personality, her attitude towards me today is good enough. Humph, those princes and princesses who offended her will all have a bad ending. Stay away from her from now on."

As the wife of the Left Prime Minister, Mou Qingyue was relatively clear-headed and knew Tao Yuwei's ability to cause trouble.

Nanny Lin originally thought that her words would be recognized by her master, and that she would find an opportunity to teach Princess Anle a lesson. However, she was slapped in the face instead. She lowered her head to hide the resentment in her eyes.

Soon, the carriage arrived outside the palace gate.

With the help of Nanny Lin, Mou Qingyue got off the carriage.

"Today, you have a wound on your face, so don't follow me in and bother the noble man."

Mou Qingyue walked into the palace alone. Nanny Lin looked flustered. She had finally gotten the chance, so how could she miss it?

She quickly chased after him and said earnestly, "Madam, you are out this time without your personal maid, so let me go in with you. Don't worry, I will wait outside when we get to the noble lady's place, so as not to embarrass you."

Mou Qingyue stopped and thought. She did not bring her personal maid with her when she entered the palace this time because she was afraid of any accidents. To be on the safe side, she chose to bring Nanny Lin with her.

If she entered the palace alone, without even a servant by her side, it would indeed look a bit ugly.

"Then let's go! Remember to be careful with your words and actions after you arrive at the harem, and just pretend to be dumb."

Nanny Lin nodded repeatedly.

Led by palace servants, Mou Qingyue and her servant passed through one archway after another. But when they were about to pass through the last door to enter the harem, they saw a familiar figure. Led by a palace servant, they passed through the bamboo forest on the other side and left the palace through another archway.

Mou Qingyue recognized Wu's back.

She felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Looking at the appearance of the palace maid, I recognized her as the palace maid in charge of running errands in Queen Gu's palace.

Today, she seemed to have a conflict with the people from Weiyuan General's Mansion.

As the wife of the Left Prime Minister, she had to go to the palace first to pay homage to the Empress, but her ultimate goal was not to go to Feng'an Palace.

Mou Qingyue first went to Feng'an Palace to pay a visit to Queen Gu, but was politely told by the senior palace maid serving the Queen that the Queen was not feeling well and had just called the imperial physician.

Not having seen Queen Gu, she felt extremely upset when she thought about how she had seen Wu leave the Queen with her own eyes.

Queen Gu was not sick at all. In her opinion, she just didn't want to see her, so she made up an excuse that she was not feeling well.

The maids in the Queen's Palace escorted Mou Qingyue out of Feng'an Palace and wanted to take them out of the palace, but she refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but I still need to go and see the Empress Defei."

And asked the palace maid about Wu's purpose of entering the palace.

Afraid that the palace maid would keep her mouth shut and not want to say anything, she took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into the palace maid's hand.

Seeing so many banknotes, the palace maid remembered the news she heard while waiting outside Feng'an Palace half an hour ago, and mentioned it to Mou Qingyue.

"Today, the wife of the great general came to the palace to visit the queen, and she seemed to hope that the queen would act as a matchmaker for her nephew."

Mou Qingyue asked which girl Wu had taken a fancy to, and the palace maid shook her head, indicating that she had not found one yet.

After separating from the palace maid, the master and servant went to the Jinxiu Palace where Concubine De lived.

Halfway through the walk, Nanny Lin quietly glanced around and saw that she didn't meet anyone else, so she became bolder.

"Madam, the eldest son's marriage must be settled as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid that the eldest son's good marriage will be snatched away."

Nanny Lin's words hinted at something, and when Mou Qingyue heard it, she couldn't help but get angry.

Thinking about the purpose of her entering the palace this time, Mou Qingyue had never felt so anxious.

She glared at Nanny Lin fiercely and warned her in a low voice, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue when I get home."

Nanny Lin was so frightened that she quickly said, "I will never dare to do that again."

Mou Qingyue quickened her pace and went to pay a visit to Concubine De.

Inside Feng'an Palace at this moment.

Queen Gu was drinking cold sour plum soup served by her personal maid.

"Empress, the wife of the Left Prime Minister went to the Jinxiu Palace of Concubine De!"

The palace servant who had just accepted Mou Qingyue's banknote came back to report.

The head maid waved her hand and let her go.

After the palace gates were closed, Queen Gu put down the bowl of ice in her hand and became unhappy.

Although the Left Prime Minister Wang Lingchang was the head of all officials, in the eyes of Queen Gu, he was a despicable person.

At first.

When Emperor Jianchang was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, this old guy often caused trouble for him.

I don't know why, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, not only did you not dismiss him from his post, but you also kept him in the court.

Whenever it came to Emperor Jianchang, Empress Gu would be petty and absolutely willful.

At this time, Queen Gu completely forgot that she should put aside her prejudice against the Left Prime Minister and win him over for the sake of the Ninth Emperor's great cause.

The personal maid beside her knew her temper very well and didn't say much.

For those who are in love, it is useless to persuade them.

The atmosphere in Jinxiu Palace is different from that in the Queen's place.

Concubine De entertained Mou Qingyue warmly and even ordered someone to serve rare iced lychees.

The two people talked and ate, looking very harmonious.

Thinking of Wu's purpose of entering the palace, Mou Qingyue wiped her hands and said to Concubine De aggrievedly, "When I entered the palace today, the carriage had an accident halfway..."

Before she finished her words, Concubine De gave up the lychees fed by the palace maid and asked with great concern, "What happened?"

Mou Qingyue's eyes flickered as she said, "My carriage accidentally hit the carriage of General Weiyuan's mansion. The general's eldest daughter-in-law flew out of the carriage and attacked my driver. She also injured my personal nanny. I didn't want the incident to get out of hand, so I paid her some silver as compensation."

Anyway, she didn't lie, and she wasn't afraid that Concubine De would know the truth.

This time when she enters the palace, she needs to arrange a marriage for her eldest son as soon as possible to make her feel at ease.

After hearing this, Concubine De's gentle expression changed and her tone became very bad.

"He is just an uncivilized barbarian, yet he dares to be so arrogant. In my opinion, Your Majesty is too kind and gentle. Some military commanders have become lawless due to his pampering, and have lost their respect for the imperial power."
