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

Just as she was about to open her mouth, Tao Yuwei grabbed her arm tightly.

"Third Princess, come with me out of the palace for a walk!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Daifu now understood that her father loved her from the bottom of his heart and did not want her to marry Wu Hanmo and live in the bitter, cold and barren land of the border.

Her cousin Xiao Lichen helped her expose Wang Jue's hobby in front of the emperor. As long as the emperor was around, her mother could never marry her to Wang Jue again.

The three princesses bowed respectfully, and Emperor Jianchang waved his hand, signaling them all to leave.

After coming out of the imperial study, Tao Yuwei was stopped by Concubine De before she and Xiao Daifu had time to leave the palace.

"Anle, Fu'er won't go out with you today." Concubine De stopped them expressionlessly and turned to the third princess and said, "Go back with mother. Mother has something to tell you."

Xiao Daifu smiled helplessly, "Anle, let's meet again at the lotus viewing banquet tomorrow!"

She waved her hand, turned around, followed Concubine De, and disappeared into the archway leading to the harem.

Tao Yuwei was left alone, walking slowly out of the palace.

Although she was not very satisfied with the results of her efforts during this visit to the palace, she felt that the trip was not in vain.

In front of His Majesty, she signaled to the villain, asking him to speak up for the Third Princess and reveal that Wang Jue liked men.

Later on, Your Majesty will probably not marry the third princess to Wang Jue.

The big villain is extraordinary. He strikes accurately as soon as he opens his mouth. He actually knows something about the Wang family. Xiao Yuwei is worthy of being the sharp arrow in His Majesty's hand. His ability to collect information is too efficient.

It was time for her cousin to return to Beijing, so she had to rush to the General Weiyuan's Mansion to meet him.

As for going to the farm to escape the summer heat, it was just something I said casually.

Tao Yuwei left the palace with two maids.

Xiao Lichen, whom she praised highly, was currently discussing official matters with Emperor Jianchang.

"Your Majesty, the investigation you ordered Xiao Yuwei to investigate into the hidden soldiers in the mountains of Yanzhou has yielded results."

When Emperor Jianchang heard the news, he stopped approving the memorial and sat down at his desk, asking angrily, "Who is behind this?"

"After multiple investigations, all the evidence points to King Junshan."

Prince Junshan is the youngest brother of the late emperor and the uncle of Your Majesty and Prince Yong. He is two years younger than Prince Yong.

Xiao Lichen's heart was filled with murderous intent towards this royal elder.

Based on what he heard from Princess Anle, he had already guessed the identity of the mastermind behind the murder of Duke Zhuguo's family.

Before, he wasn't so sure.

However, after Concubine Huo was poisoned to death in the prison, he conducted extensive investigations and collected evidence before he was sure that Xiao Long was the real culprit behind the murder of his grandfather's family.

then.

The last years of the previous emperor’s reign.

Xiao Long is already an adult.

He also wants to compete for that position.

But my uncle had already been named the crown prince at that time.

Unless the Emperor's uncle is deposed midway, Xiao Long will have no chance.

If Xiao Long wants to fight, he must first find a way to suppress his uncle and take away his position as crown prince.

Only by seizing military power can we have hope of victory.

At that time, Duke Zhuguo, as the chief military general, held the military command of an enviable one million soldiers.

In order to overthrow Emperor Jianchang, who was the crown prince, Xiao Long planned to seize the military token.

After many plots, he killed the whole family of Duke Zhuguo.

"Little uncle?"

Emperor Jianchang left the imperial desk with a bad look on his face, and walked back and forth several times in the imperial study with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, after investigation, there are about 80,000 private soldiers hiding in the mountains outside Yanzhou. They are all temporarily under the command of the generals. The news has not been leaked yet, and Xiao Long does not know about it yet."

With the consent of Emperor Jianchang, Xiao Lichen had unknowingly been involved in many matters involving major secrets.

"No wonder! It's hidden so deeply."

Emperor Jianchang finally figured out some old things.

There is a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Seeing that His Majesty had a feeling that this was indeed the case, Xiao Lichen continued, "He returned to the capital secretly before you held the Qianqiu Banquet."

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a rule that princes were not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict.

Emperor Jianchang received the news that King Junshan Xiao Long had quietly returned to the capital.

He thought that the other party was risking being suspected of having ulterior motives just to come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.

Emperor Jianchang felt that his little uncle was too secretive and too good at disguising himself.

Back then, when he was still the crown prince, he often spoke well of the late emperor in front of him.

In some government affairs, he would also openly support him as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

The young emperor's uncle was known as the gentleman Mo Ruyu, who seemed like a fairy, and had the elegant name Suxian.

Emperor Jianchang always thought that his young uncle was indifferent to fame and fortune, liked to travel around, enjoy the scenery, and not care about worldly affairs.

"What has he done during this time in Beijing?"

Emperor Jianchang turned around and stood with his back to Xiao Lichen. His tone was calm and he was not angry.

"First, he sent someone to quietly take the Fourth Prince away, and through the secret passage of the palace, he secretly met with Imperial Concubine Huo several times."

Xiao Lichen reported everything he found out.

"only......"

Xiao Lichen thought about it and didn't finish his guess.

Emperor Jianchang took a deep breath and suppressed his raging anger.

It turned out that under the seduction of his little uncle, Concubine Huo of the Eastern Palace had already fallen in love with this little uncle.

It’s okay to be cuckolded, but the person he once respected the most is his elder.

His nominal son, the Fourth Prince, was not actually his own.

What’s even more infuriating is that even the younger generation knows about this.

His reputation as an emperor had long been lost in the eyes of his nephew.

"Chen'er, if you have anything to say, just tell your uncle. Your blind father doesn't care about you, but I do. I am your confidence."

Emperor Jianchang truly treated Xiao Lichen as his own son.

Deep down in his heart, he wanted to pass the throne to the person in front of him.

None of his sons has courage or vision.

At the moment, Chen'er's legs are unable to walk. If the ministers under him knew his thoughts, it would be extremely disadvantageous to Chen'er.

If Tao Yuwei knew that this was what Emperor Jianchang was thinking, she might understand why there were so many secret methods of harming the villain in the original work.

Perhaps, it was because some people noticed the true intentions of Emperor Jianchang that they attacked Xiao Lichen in various ways, causing him to turn evil in the end and die tragically after brutally strangling many people.

Xiao Lichen had long noticed his uncle's intentions, but he himself did not want this position at all.

A few years ago, he willingly took over the position of leader of the Xiaoyu Guard just to redress the grievances of his maternal grandfather's family, hoping that one day the case of Zhuguogong's treason would be retried to clear his maternal grandfather's name.

His favorite thing was to guard the border of the Great Zhou with weapons and armor to prevent it from being bullied by the northern barbarians in the northern border.

They are not controlled by the foreign races in the northeast.

"Your Majesty, the real purpose of King Junshan's visit to the capital has not yet been discovered."
