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

"What? The northern barbarians actually gathered an army of 800,000 and arrived outside the Youzhou Pass."

When the news reached the capital of the Great Zhou, everyone was very surprised.

Some time ago, the envoys from the northern barbarians came to attend the Qianqiu Banquet hosted by Your Majesty in a friendly manner. Why are they being attacked just like that?

When I returned home, the whole family was there.

At the table, Tao Yuwei was eating happily.

"Brother, please pay attention to Second Aunt's niece Sun Liyun. Be careful when you see her. Before you came back, Second Aunt wanted to marry her to you."

[She was a person who was unwilling to live this mediocre life. At a banquet, with the help of someone with ulterior motives, she schemed against her eldest brother, slept with him, and married into the mansion of the general who guarded the country.

She was unwilling to be lonely, so she fell in love with a guard around the male protagonist Xiao Chengyan. She took advantage of her eldest brother's trust and placed someone next to him.

The eldest brother died on the battlefield. It was the man planted by the male protagonist who played a role. When the eldest brother was concentrating on killing the enemy, he stabbed him in the back. The eldest brother was seriously injured and fell off his horse, and was trampled into mud by the Northern Barbarians. 】

After hearing her thoughts, Tao Zipeng's face turned pale.

Sitting on the round stool, he almost fell backwards.

Tao Zhihong and his wife and Tao Zixing were not surprised by this.

After all, she had already reminded Wu when her second aunt proposed the marriage.

When Tao Yuwei saw her brother's big reaction after hearing her words, she thought that he must also dislike Sun Liyun, which was why he was so shocked.

"Don't worry, sister. I always bring guards with me when I go out. If I see that person, I will just chase her away."

Tao Zipeng's frightened face quickly returned to normal, and he lowered his head to start eating again.

After dinner, before leaving, Tao Yuwei couldn't help but turned around and reminded her elder brother when she reached the door.

"That Miss Lin Yu, if she asks you to help her get a pass to the Northern Frontier in exchange for saving her life, you must not agree to her request."

[Originally, she followed her eldest cousin back to the capital, and purchased a large amount of refined iron and grain through the King of Junshan. She secretly communicated with Wang Lingchang and transported a large amount of supplies to the Northern Barbarians through Wang Lingchang's caravan, helping the Northern Barbarians survive the crisis of drought and plague. As soon as winter came, the Northern Barbarians began to attack the Great Zhou.]

[Now, King Junshan and Wang Lingchang, who colluded with the Northern Barbarians, are dead, and the Wang family's caravan has been taken over by His Majesty. Wanqi Lingyu will not be able to complete the task easily this time. When the time comes, she will definitely be desperate and lie to her eldest brother for help! ]

[Originally, the war with the Northern Barbarians was supposed to start in winter, but now it has been brought forward by half a year. The Northern Barbarians have begun to gather their forces in the summer, which shows that the food shortage crisis in the Northern Barbarians has reached its peak.]

After listening to the thoughts, the family immediately understood the current situation.

"Don't worry, sister. In the face of national justice, there is no private matter. I will not agree to any request she makes."

Tao Zipeng made a solemn promise.

"I can rest assured that."

Tao Yuwei turned around and walked out, looking up at the moon above her head. She felt very calm.

Now that the Northern Barbarians are gathering troops to attack the border, she is not worried or anxious.

The fate of many people has changed quietly.

Because in the current Great Zhou, there is her father, the God of War of the Great Zhou, who is the nemesis of the Northern Barbarians.

His Majesty is still fine, and Xiao Lichen has not been forced into a desperate situation.

The court of the Great Zhou was not scarred by the infighting between the Sixth and Eighth Princes.

Without the interference of King Junshan and the Left Prime Minister Wang Lingchang in betraying the country, the Northern Barbarians would have no chance of surviving this crisis.

With them around, there was no need for her to give advice.

After Tao Yuwei left, Tao Zhihong immediately took his two sons to the study to discuss business matters.

A month later.

Tao Yuwei heard that Miss Lin Yu sent someone to tell her that she wanted to meet her elder brother Tao Zipeng.

Her eldest brother did not refuse.

During this period, the heroine Jiang Siyan often came to the house to discuss investment with her. They wanted to open a wine-making workshop together.

Tao Yuwei is enjoying herself so much on the road of making money that she doesn't want to stop.

The heroine Jiang Siyan did not become entangled with the hero Xiao Chengyan as in the original plot.

I heard that it was her sister Jiang Jingzhen and her good friend Sun Liyun who got involved with Xiao Chengyan, and the three of them started a love triangle of one chasing the other.

Another half month passed. At the dinner table, Tao Yuwei heard her father say, "Someone in the capital colluded with the Northern Barbarians to move a large amount of grain and refined iron to the outside of the Northern Border. They were captured by the Xiao Yuwei people, and the person behind the scenes was also imprisoned."

Tao Yuwei's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Dad, who is so bold as to collude with that Northern Barbarian Princess Wanqi Lingyu?"

"She is the wife of Minister of Rites Chu Qiling. This person was personally interrogated by Prince Xiao. She is very tight-lipped and has not confessed anything yet. However, the entire Minister of Rites's mansion has suffered! They have all been locked up, and the entire family will be executed in two days."

Tao Zhihong did not hide anything from her and told her the general story.

It turned out that the Northern Barbarian Princess Wanqi Lingyu came to find Tao Zipeng and lied to him, saying that one of her relatives was going to the Western Regions to do business and needed a pass. But now because the Northern Barbarian cavalry was stationed on the northern border, it was difficult to get the pass, so she asked Tao Zipeng to help get it.

Tao Zipeng took advantage of the situation, issued a pass, cooperated with Xiao Yuwei, followed the clues, and found the wife of Minister of Rites Chu Qiling who was in collusion with Wanqi Lingyu in the capital.

The fine iron and large quantities of grain that were about to be sent out of the pass were successfully intercepted within the northern border.

"Big brother and Prince Xiao did a great job this time!"

[The wife of Minister of Rites Chu Qiling was no ordinary person. She was the woman who took advantage of her husband's position as the county magistrate to attend a banquet at the prefectural government's mansion and schemed against His Majesty, who was traveling south to provide disaster relief. At the time, His Majesty was still the crown prince. She put something in his drink and, after a brief encounter, gave birth to the eighth prince.]

[She did this to help the Eighth Prince take the throne, and she colluded with the Northern Barbarians at all costs.]

[Her and Chu Qiling's biological son was exchanged by the concubine and taken back to her parents' home to be a groom. The son in the mansion now is the concubine's son.]

[This time, the real son was lucky in disguise and was not implicated. As long as he can save his life, being a groom is not bad.]

The family didn't expect to be able to eat so many melons.

I didn't expect that the residence of Minister of Rites Chu Qiling would be so messy.

Then, Your Majesty, won't you show leniency to this Madam Chu?

"You guys eat first, I have things to do!"

When Tao Zhihong heard such important news, of course he went to discuss it with Xiao Lichen.

This Madam Chu is the biological mother of the Eighth Prince, so we know why she did this.

It would be terrible if the Eighth Prince, in his desperate attempt to save others, harmed His Majesty when they were off guard.

He must meet Prince Xiao as soon as possible.

Seeing her father leave in a hurry, Tao Yuwei didn't take it to heart. She ate and drank happily.
