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

Mrs. Wu tried to regulate her disordered breathing and shook her head weakly, "Mom is fine, it's just that she didn't get enough rest these two nights, which caused her body to be a little weak."

"Mom, your symptoms seem like you have low blood sugar. Someone, come and get some maltose for her to eat."

Tao Yuwei stood up and called for help worriedly. She had not rested well before and had experienced hypoglycemia when she woke up in the morning. Her eyes went dark and she suddenly fainted and knew nothing.

Wu was afraid that she would become suspicious, so she followed her lead and ate a piece of maltose.

"Dad, help mom to have a good rest. Don't worry about the rumors. I will find a way to deal with it."

Seeing that Mrs. Wu's complexion had improved a lot after eating the candy, Tao Yuwei turned around and walked out of Qingheyuan.

She quickened her pace and rushed to Fengwei Residence where she lived.

Faced with such a disgraceful rumor, the male protagonist, the eighth prince Xiao Chengyan, could no longer hold back and finally took action.

Tian Linwen is the protagonist's right-hand man on his road to achieving kingship and hegemony, and is deeply trusted by the protagonist.

She must seize this excellent opportunity to remove him from the male protagonist's team.

Soon after she left, Tao Zixing realized that their parents, like him, knew that their sister could predict the future and hear what was in her heart.

He was afraid that Wu would be overwhelmed by the grief over something that had not yet happened in her maternal family, so he went forward to comfort her.

"Mom, it hasn't happened yet, don't worry. We can make arrangements in advance and try to change the outcome predicted by my sister. We just need to wipe out all those stinky rats hiding in the dark and plotting against our family."

Tao Zixing was not worried about the things his sister predicted. He thought that everything depends on human efforts. As long as his family was united, no outsider could defeat them.

"Dad, today, I will report to the Queen that I will not go to the palace to accompany the Ninth Prince to study. I want to take part in the imperial examination next year."

After hearing what their son said, the couple had nothing to understand. Their second son could also hear what their daughter was thinking.

You must pass the imperial examination as soon as possible to enter officialdom, prepare your abilities, and protect your family.

"Your mother and I will not interfere with your choice. You can decide for yourself."

Tao Zhihong didn't worry too much about his second son who always had his own ideas.

Upon hearing this, Tao Zixing bowed to his parents and left with firm steps.

After his son left, Tao Zhihong comforted his wife, "You take a rest first, I'll take care of the things outside."

Back in the study, Tao Zhihong gathered his men and said, "Send someone to secretly watch the Tian family, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Report to me at any time if anything happens."

He also arranged some people to pay special attention to the developments in the capital.

Little did he know that his daughter was faster than him.

At this time, Tao Yuwei was sitting in her own carriage, and under the guidance of her maids Yunxiao and Baishuang, she came to Xiangmanlou, the largest restaurant in the capital, to inquire for news.

When they arrived, they chose a private room first.

Tao Yuwei sat down in the private room. It was still early and not time for lunch.

First, ask the waiter of the restaurant to bring a pot of tea and some snacks.

Picking up a piece of red bean cake, Tao Yuwei ate it with relish.

She had not gone out and had not met any animals returning home from the city, so she had no idea what was happening outside. If she came here, she would definitely be able to find out a lot of information.

Let’s eat the cakes first.

According to the location she provided, Tao Baichuan, who went to report for duty, was taken to the south gate of the capital by the people of the emperor's uncle Gu Xinyuan to guard the gate.

Tao Baichuan was stunned on the spot.

"My Lord, are you mistaken? I am here to serve in the palace, not to guard the gate."

After Tao Baichuan reacted, he was sweating profusely.

The person who led him to guard the city gate was the guard beside Gu Xinyuan. Thinking of his master's instructions before coming, his face darkened, "I'm sorry, the Imperial Guards are not short of people, I'm just following orders, do it if you want to, if you don't want to guard the city gate, go home."

The man turned and walked away, and Tao Baichuan hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't go. I'm willing to guard the city gate."

He smiled and followed the other party carefully to meet the city gate officer who was in charge of guarding the city gate.

The officer at the city gate asked the soldier to bring a set of clothes for guarding the city gate and handed it to Tao Baichuan.

Tao Baichuan took the clothes reluctantly, and saw that they were still old, and they exuded a pungent smell of sweat.

Looking at the clothes in his hands, he really wanted to throw them on the ground and walk away.

But when he thought about how his mother and grandmother took out most of their private money and gave it to his cousin Tao Yuwei to help him get this position in front of the emperor's uncle, he gritted his teeth and put it on.

"Go, follow them and stand guard!"

The city gate officer saw that he had put on his clothes obediently, raised his chin and motioned for him to stand obediently at the city gate.

Tao Baichuan, holding a red tasseled spear, stood at the busy city gate with others, looking upset.

His cousin failed to fulfill his long-cherished wish of joining the Royal Guard.

hateful!

The fifty thousand taels of silver notes were wasted in the hands of his cousin Tao Yuwei, and he was only given a job as a guard at the city gate. This was a deliberate insult to him.

The king's uncle Gu Xinyuan and Tao Baichuan did not dare to complain.

He held a grudge against Tao Yuwei in his heart.

When the noble person promotes him, he will definitely kick the eldest wife's family out of the Tao family.

Since he couldn't enter the palace to serve, he couldn't complete the tasks assigned by the nobles.

No, I must find a way to sneak into the palace.

He knew that the eldest cousin had bad intentions. She said that she was helping him to give banknotes to the emperor's uncle to get a job. But it was she who secretly kept most of the banknotes and only gave a small portion of the money to the emperor's uncle.

People must have felt that the money he gave was too little, so they didn't help him. In anger, they sent him to the city gate to be a gatekeeper.

After his shift, he went to ask his cousin for the banknote.

At this time, a group of people came out of the city, carrying bamboo baskets in their hands, and talked as they walked, "The young lady of the general's mansion is too shameless. I heard that she raped a man in broad daylight. If this happened in our village, she would be thrown into a pig cage."

"That's right. She is so stupid. She lost her reputation without caring about it, and innocently caused her sister to have difficulty marrying into a good family..."

When Tao Baichuan heard the news, he was furious and his face became terribly gloomy.

It was another good thing done by her cousin Princess Anle, so she couldn't just keep quiet for a few days.

Now, relying on the favor of His Majesty, she would not lose anything by doing bad things, but it would implicate her younger sister Xueqi.

My mother and grandmother were looking for a husband for my younger sister, but now it seems that no noble family is willing to marry her.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Tao Baichuan was so angry that he wanted to cut Tao Yuwei's neck.

He must find a way to meet an important person and ask him to promote him and leave here.

When he becomes successful, he will definitely help his sister find a good marriage.

The Eighth Prince’s Mansion at this time.

"Master, the things you asked us to do have been done. The rumors have been fermenting in the city and have spread out at the fastest speed. In two days, you can entrust someone to go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage."

The man in black knelt behind the man and reported the progress of the incident.

"Continue to send people to contact Tao Baichuan, assign him tasks, and ask him to help us recruit more soldiers."

"Master, he helped us recruit soldiers in the name of General Tao before, and no one suspected it. But the number of people we are recruiting will be much larger next time. What if General Tao finds out?"

The eighth prince Xiao Chengyan turned around with an expressionless face.

"If the General's Mansion is willing to marry Anle to me, I will help him deal with the aftermath. If the marriage fails, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The man in black then reported another thing, "After the rumor spread, our people paid attention to the General's Mansion and found that Princess Anle went to Xiangmanlou."

Xiao Chengyan's stern face was filled with confidence that he would win. "Let's go. I will personally respond to this arrogant and eccentric princess."
