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

Emperor Jianchang usually disliked censors like Lin Yushi who were stubborn and made suggestions every day.

But in his heart he knew very well that Lin Shirong was a loyal and upright man.

Behind Censor Lin's impeachment of Tao Zhihong this time, he must have been deceived by certain people and used as a pawn.

Obviously, Censor Lin came to his senses belatedly.

He will definitely hold Lin Shirong accountable, and as for the person who used the Censor behind the scenes, he will leave the matter to Xiao Yuwei to investigate.

"After investigation, it is found that Mr. Tao was falsely accused. He is loyal to the country and has worked tirelessly. I hereby pardon him."

Tao Zhihong immediately knelt down and kowtowed in thanks with a solemn expression, "Long live the emperor!"

Li Hugua, who spoke for him, took a deep breath in secret.

Your Majesty is wise and has not wronged the great general whom he admires.

It was hard to describe the mood of Censor Lin Shirong.

I almost made a big mistake and wrongly accused General Tao.

"Censor Lin Shirong failed to supervise properly and was derelict in his duty. He will be fined three months' salary."

Censor Lin was convinced and knelt down to accept the punishment with a proper attitude.

The Minister of Rites' heart began to tremble uncontrollably.

Could it be that Your Majesty would like to mention his name?

Emperor Jianchang was ruthless. "Minister of Rites Gao Huaizhen was biased and believed one side, which was suspected of factionalism. He was sent home to reflect on his mistakes for a month."

Gao Huaizhen bowed his head unwillingly and knelt down.

Tao Zhihong is more important in His Majesty's heart than he imagined. He was careless this time. Next time, he will be fully prepared and will surely hit the target with one blow.

"Li Hugua has a righteous heart and is an upright person. He was transferred to serve in the Xiaoyu Guard."

As soon as Emperor Jianchang finished speaking, Li Hugua kowtowed excitedly and kept praising His Majesty for his wisdom.

After dealing with Tao Zhihong's matter, Emperor Jianchang and his ministers discussed some state affairs.

After more than an hour, the discussion was finally completed.

With the sharp voice of "Resign!", the ministers left the Golden Palace one after another.

Tao Zhihong walked down the white marble steps with a righteous look, looking straight ahead. The other ministers following him whispered to each other as they watched him depart.

"Tao Zhihong was able to escape unscathed from Lin Shirong's impeachment, which shows that Jian is in the emperor's favor!"

"Look at how successful he is. Maybe he can even become the father-in-law of a prince."

"Hush, keep your voice down. With Princess Anle's arrogant and perverse personality, who would dare to marry her?"

Xiao Lichen was sitting in a wheelchair and was carried down the stairs. Hearing the discussions, he felt inexplicably irritated.

"Prince Yong, His Majesty invites you to come over."

The young eunuch who was in charge of delivering the imperial edict trotted over to inform him before he left the palace.

Xiao Lichen had no choice but to change direction and let Qingzhu push him to the imperial study.

When he met Emperor Jianchang, he reported that Xiaoyuwei had already found out about Tingya Pavilion.

A stack of memorials was thrown on the ground, and Emperor Jianchang's seemingly kind face was filled with anger.

"How dare you to murder the prince? Close down Tingya Hall and find out who is the boss behind it. Interrogate the people inside. Anyone who participated in the murder of Xiaojiu will be beheaded in public."

Xiao Lichen accepted the order calmly.

Seeing his young and promising nephew sitting in a wheelchair with a calm expression without a trace of emotion, Emperor Jianchang sighed in his heart that it was a pity.

His younger brother, Prince Yong, was foolish and favored his concubine over his wife. He never treated his only legitimate son well. Chen'er had already helped him fight the enemies at the border at a young age and was more capable than all his other sons.

God is jealous of talented people. My nephew inexplicably got a strange disease and can no longer walk normally.

"Also, have someone investigate who is using Lin Shirong behind the scenes."

After Xiao Lichen finished discussing business with Emperor Jianchang, he was about to leave the imperial study in his wheelchair when he was stopped again.

"Chen'er, you are old enough to get married. How about your uncle choosing a marriage for you?"

Thinking about his own brother who was not a good person and his sister-in-law who was bedridden, Emperor Jianchang inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility towards his nephew.

Xiao Lichen thought of what he was carrying, and he shook his head and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but I have no plans to get married at the moment."

As long as the injustice done to his grandfather is not cleared up, his inner demons will not be removed and he will not have the desire to start a family.

Standing in the imperial study, looking at the figure leaving in the wheelchair, Emperor Jianchang had a distant look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Tao Zhihong had just returned home after leaving the palace and saw his second son at the gate of his house.

"Why are you here? Aren't you going to study in the palace today?"

Facing his father's questioning, Tao Zixing focused all his attention on his biological father.

I hope Dad is back safely. The incident last night should have been dealt with.

"You don't have to go to the palace for the next two days. My sister asked me to wait for you to come home."

Tao Zixing became extremely worried when he thought about his sister's abilities.

It would be a huge trouble if other people could hear my sister's thoughts.

Thinking of everything he had experienced in the court today, Tao Zhihong calmed his mind and hurried back to the mansion.

He was eager to see his daughter and had many questions in his mind.

When he arrived at Qingheyuan where his wife lived, he did not see his daughter.

Seeing her husband coming back, Mrs. Wu took his hand worriedly and walked into the house.

The maids and servants in the room all fled out of the door.

"Husband, how is it going?"

Tao Zhihong and his wife sat down at the table in the inner room, and he told her what had happened in the court.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu's face didn't look very good.

"From now on, we have nothing to do with the Second House family. If the mother-in-law comes to us about my second brother's affairs, send her away."

He is worthy of being the son of her stupid and brainless mother-in-law. They are exactly the same, with the same short-sightedness and vicious mind.

"Where is my daughter? Why haven't I seen her?" Tao Zhihong had a lot of questions and wanted to get the answers he wanted through his daughter.

Mrs. Wu glanced at her husband and said, "He hasn't gotten up yet. He's sleeping in."

I've never seen him care so much about his daughter before.

Knowing my daughter's abilities, my attitude became very different.

Tao Zhihong knew what his wife was thinking.

"Of course I love my daughter. I just couldn't stand her arrogant attitude."

Now, well, my daughter is the best.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" A familiar voice interrupted the couple who were talking.

They turned their heads and saw Tao Yuwei wearing a thin and expensive summer dress. Her little face exuded a lazy and comfortable glow, giving people an illusion of peace and tranquility.

"My dear, I had a quarrel with Censor Lin in the court today, and I came back to chat with you."

There was a faint smile on Tao Zhihong's heroic and tough face, as if he had suffered unspeakable grievances.

Tao Yuwei sat down comfortably, and Tao Zixing also came into the room at this time.

"Okay, what do you want to talk to me about?"

[The fact that Dad was safe and sound was thanks to the villain. Alas, none of the people Dad prepared were used.]

[I have to admire the villain's speed in obtaining the news. He even found someone to testify for his father first, and punished the Minister of Rites a little bit.]

[Dad did a good job. He had Li Rui thrown into a brothel and spent the night with prostitutes. He also happened to run into Xiao Yuwei. He grasped the timing very accurately.]

Not long after her father left the palace, she learned everything that happened in the Golden Palace from a weasel that escaped from the palace.

It would have been difficult for my father to escape unscathed without the strong support of the Prince of Yong.

Tao Zhihong's original plan was to first frame Li Rui to spend the night in the brothel, and then arrange for someone to go to the palace to file a complaint and expose the fact that Tao Jingyu kept a male lover.

When it comes to exposing my second uncle Tao Jingyu, having only witnesses won't completely get me off the hook.

I'll find time some other day to personally thank the villain for his efforts.

"I heard that you found a position in the Imperial Guard for Baichuan?"

Tao Zhihong's doubts had been answered, so he asked about his daughter's plans.

"I found him a job guarding the city gate."

Tao Yuwei told her father happily.

Haha, Tao Baichuan is on duty today. I wonder how he will react when he knows the news?
