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

Wang Lingchang picked up the cup on the tea table beside him and said with regret, "This map is something I found after much investigation in the hands of a princess from the previous dynasty who kept her name secret. No one knows where the map of half of the treasure is."

He lowered his head and drank the tea before continuing, "With this half of the map, we can search according to the location on the map and find the approximate location of the treasure. Bring people to search nearby where the treasure is buried and we will definitely find the real location."

King Junshan also felt that what Wang Lingchang said made sense.

They have been planning for years and no longer have the patience to waste any more time.

Now that we have the map of the previous dynasty’s treasure in hand, are we still afraid of not finding the exact location?

"We will take action tomorrow night, take some trusted people with us, and go to the location on the map to look for treasure."

King Junshan was determined to raise an army and start a war as soon as he got the treasure, and he was unwilling to wait any longer.

"When the matter is accomplished, I will appoint you as the Prime Minister and give you half of the land of the Great Zhou."

His decision was supported by the Left Prime Minister Wang Lingchang.

"Okay, it's settled. Your Highness, keep this map. I will go back first. We will meet in the suburbs of Beijing tomorrow night."

The two of them discussed the details of their joint treasure hunt and then separated.

The palace was not peaceful at this time.

For some unknown reason, after Emperor Jianchang finished reviewing memorials in the middle of the night, he went to Fengxian Palace where Concubine Gao lived and returned in a rage.

Concubine Gao was also temporarily banished to the cold palace.

The second prince was demoted to a commoner on the spot.

When Tao Yuwei learned about this, she was having lunch with her parents.

"Could it be that the Concubine Xian got into trouble because of the Gao family's involvement?"

Mrs. Wu looked up and asked her husband.

Everyone loves to listen to gossip, and Wu is no exception.

Tao Zhihong shook his head. "Madam, I don't know much about what's going on in the palace. After the morning court session today, I heard other officials muttering a few words."

[It is estimated that Concubine Gao was cheating on the emperor and had an affair with a palace servant and gave birth to the second prince, which led to this result.]

[Your Majesty was quite generous and did not kill Concubine Gao and the Second Prince on the spot.]

[It's a good thing that the second prince becomes a commoner. With his stupid brain, he will die sooner or later if he becomes a prince.]

Tao Yuwei couldn't think of anything else except that this matter broke out in advance, which would make His Majesty so angry.

Tao Yuwei was eating spicy noodles while making comments in her mind.

When Mrs. Wu and Tao Zhihong heard this, their eyes widened.

Your Majesty's harem seems to be quite chaotic.

Last time it was Concubine Huo, and this time it is Concubine Gao.

I don’t know how many times Your Majesty has been cuckolded.

"The Jade Concubine who sat and drank with you last time, I found out that she seemed to be from the Lingzhou area in the northwest before she entered the palace."

Hearing her father's words, Tao Yuwei's memory exploded.

Lingzhou?

Something seemed to flash through her mind, but she didn't catch it.

what is it then?

After Tao Yuwei had eaten, she kept thinking while washing her hands.

Just as she was trying to sort out some ideas, she was interrupted by Jiang Siyan who came to visit her.

"Mom and Dad, a little sister and I are going to her family's farm in the suburbs of Beijing to escape the summer heat for two days. When we come back, I will bring you some more fresh vegetables."

Tao Yuwei stood up and informed Tao Zhihong and his wife of her whereabouts.

Wu was a little worried, "Is it safe for you to go there? Do you want to bring more people with you?"

Ever since Tao Zhihong knew that his daughter was able to follow him quietly, he began to admire her skills with new eyes.

He guessed that if his daughter really wanted to fight him, she wouldn't be much worse.

I don’t know how my father-in-law taught his daughter, but she has such extraordinary kung fu that she can hide it without revealing it.

"I'll arrange a few more people to protect her, you don't have to worry."

Tao Zhihong immediately called several guards from the palace.

Before Tao Yuwei even left the door, she met a few people who were responsible for protecting her.

One of them was a woman who had entered the palace with her.

"You don't need to follow me closely, just hide and keep a certain distance from us."

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the game.

Several guards clasped their fists in response.

Just like that, Tao Yuwei simply packed up some supplies, took two personal maids with her, and walked out of the General's Mansion with Jiang Siyan.

When she arrived outside the mansion, Tao Yuwei saw several extra people and her face did not look very good.

Before Jiang Siyan could open her mouth to explain, an unpleasant sound of a clip reached her ears.

"Princess Anle, I want to go out of town with my sister and go for a stroll. I'm sure you won't mind."

Jiang Siyan's stepsister appeared in front of Tao Yuwei with a face as white as a little white flower.

The other person was wearing a plain white dress, had a fair complexion, had drawn eyebrows, and a little lip balm on her lips. She looked gentle and pitiful, giving her the feeling that the heroine's stepsister was even more innocent than the heroine.

She even began to doubt the original plot.

Could it be that the male protagonist did not recognize the wrong person, and the person who spent a wonderful time with the male protagonist in childhood was the female protagonist's stepsister?

"Princess Anle is open-minded and will definitely not care about such trivial matters, Jingzhen, don't you think so?"

Suddenly, a plain young woman appeared and said self-righteous words, which made Tao Yuwei speechless.

"who is she?"

Jiang Siyan was wearing a neat blue men's suit with arm guards and a high ponytail today. She said helplessly, "Her name is Sun Liyun, she is my sister's friend. You met her last time at the Zuo Xiangfu. They heard that the princess and I were going out of the capital to relax, so they insisted on following us."

Sun Liyun?

It turns out that the woman who was with the heroine's stepsister in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion last time was this person.

Is she the scheming woman in the original plot who tried so hard to marry the eldest brother Tao Zipeng, then looked for other men outside, and finally colluded with others to plot the death of the eldest brother on the battlefield?

This person is really good at using means. She is just the daughter of a farmer in the capital, but she can actually become friends with the daughter of an eighth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites.

Without any means, you can't get there.

Tao Yuwei felt very annoyed when she saw Sun Liyun, who pretended to be outspoken and sincere and only stood up for her friends, but had no special features in appearance.

"This princess only agrees to go with Jiang Siyan, so forget it."

She could understand the difficulties faced by the heroine Jiang Siyan. In that family, the heroine had no sense of existence, and she could not directly refuse the requests made by her stepsister until she became strong.

Apparently, it was useless for the heroine to refuse, as her stepsisters wouldn't listen.

Tao Yuwei refused directly in dissatisfaction.

She didn't want to go out, as she kept hearing the annoying sound of clips in her ears.

Besides, she was not familiar with them, and they used moral blackmail on her as soon as they met. Don't expect her to be polite to those who came uninvited and were annoying.

Jiang Jingzhen and Sun Liyun didn't expect that Tao Yuwei would not give them any face at all.

Directly rejected their colleagues.

"Princess Anle, do you think you can bully people of lower status than you just because you are so high up in society? If this gets out, how much trouble will it bring to General Tao!"
