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

Tao Yuwei entered the palace before dark. After hearing the report, Emperor Jianchang sighed with amusement, "Anle, this girl, really treats my palace as her home. Please invite her in quickly."

He didn't plan to spend half the night reviewing memorials tonight.

The little girl might have something to ask for if she came here at this time.

Seeing Tao Yuwei walking in with a strange thing in her hand, Emperor Jianchang smiled before he said anything.

"Uncle Emperor, you usually sit on the dragon chair for a long time to review memorials. In order to make you feel more comfortable, I had someone make a waist cushion for you to use."

Tao Yuwei handed the black thing in her hand to Eunuch Zhao.

Before entering the palace, she racked her brains and came up with this reason.

It would be appropriate to make a lumbar cushion and send it to Emperor Jianchang to treat his back pain.

She quickly called the sewing room in the mansion, and in less than an hour, they worked together to make a back cushion to prevent back pain according to her requirements.

Eunuch Zhao held it in his hand and looked at it curiously.

"Anle is thoughtful, how should this thing be used?"

Emperor Jianchang treated her like he was coaxing a child, and his attitude was always indulgent.

"Uncle Emperor, please stand up from the dragon throne first. Eunuch Zhao, please place the back cushion on the dragon throne."

Tao Yuwei told Zhao Chong how to put it. After putting it in place, she said happily, "Uncle Emperor, please try it. With this thing, your waist won't hurt even if you sit for a long time."

Emperor Jianchang sat down cooperatively and felt much more comfortable than before.

"Yes, with it, I won't have to ask the imperial physician to give me acupuncture so often in the future."

"I appreciate your kindness, girl. Just ask for any reward you want."

The back pain problem troubled Emperor Jianchang for many years. As an emperor, he worked diligently and conscientiously for the country and the people, and never dared to slack off.

Sitting on the dragon chair for many years to handle official business caused waist problems.

Sometimes the pain was so severe that he couldn't even walk, let alone sit.

He often summoned the imperial physician to perform acupuncture. Although Anle was a little overbearing at times, she was genuinely kind to him.

This thing is actually not worth anything, but it is a token of her love. It is not enough to give an expensive gift, but to give him what he needs. It is not in vain that she pampers the girl.

When Tao Yuwei saw Emperor Jianchang's reaction, she knew that her entry into the palace did not make him feel strange.

That thing is in the hands of the Seventh Princess Xiao Zixuan. She will definitely find a way to see His Majesty, so she must get the thing before that.

It was already dark outside, and Xiao Zixuan would have to wait until dawn before taking action.

Before leaving the palace, you must take action.

Tao Yuwei said with a smile, "As long as the emperor likes it, as for the reward, I want to eat the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made in the Imperial Study!"

The procedure is complicated and a bit troublesome to make, but it should extend her time out of the palace.

"You are so rude. How about this? Have dinner with me and I will have someone escort you out of the palace."

Emperor Jianchang shook his head in amusement, and Eunuch Zhao immediately gave orders to inform the imperial kitchen to prepare two servings of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

In this way, Tao Yuwei successfully stayed.

Yunxiao, who came with her, and the maid who knew martial arts were taken to a side hall to rest.

At this time, Xiao Lichen came to the imperial study.

When he saw Tao Yuwei, he looked calm and ignored her presence.

[Why are you so arrogant? I am your savior! ]

Xiao Lichen sat in a wheelchair and calmly saluted Emperor Jianchang.

"Your Majesty, I have found some clues about the matter you asked me to investigate some time ago."

[Are you investigating the maid who died suddenly? The thing she threw into the lake is in my hand. I can't take it out easily, otherwise, the General's Mansion will face a disaster.]

The case of Duke Zhuguo back then involved many people. The person behind the scenes was too cruel and powerful. She would not take out that thing before making all preparations.

Otherwise, after the other party finds out, they will be desperate and will attack the General’s Mansion.

[I hope you can talk about official business for a while. I'm going to meet the Seventh Princess.]

When Tao Yuwei saw that they were going to discuss official business, she immediately left the room.

These thoughts of hers reached Xiao Lichen's mind, and his hands, which were supporting his wheelchair, began to tremble involuntarily.

A strong desire to kill surged in my heart.

The important evidence involving her grandfather's treason was in her hands.

Facing Emperor Jianchang who was waiting for him to report on official business, Xiao Lichen used all his rationality to suppress the trembling murderous intent that filled his mind.

In the peach blossom eyes, which were usually calm and peaceful, there were surging clouds and violent storms, which were difficult to hide completely.

He turned his head to look at Tao Yuwei's departing gaze, which was caught by Emperor Jianchang.

But it caused the other party to misunderstand.

"You don't want to marry Anle?"

Emperor Jianchang stared at Xiao Lichen's face with an unfriendly look.

He had already checked all the civil and military officials in the court for Anle, and in his opinion, none of them were worthy of that girl.

This brat dared to set his sights on Anle.

He looked Xiao Lichen up and down with the critical eyes of an old father.

With a tense mood and facing the inexplicable questioning from his uncle the emperor, Xiao Lichen secretly thanked his luck and was speechless.

The eldest daughter of the Tao family is only twelve years old this year and has not yet reached the age of marriage. What is the emperor's uncle thinking?

Looking at this very capable but silent nephew, Emperor Jianchang thought he had guessed correctly and sighed, "It's not impossible to marry her, but she must marry you voluntarily."

If someone else suggested marrying Tao Yuwei, Emperor Jianchang would definitely be the first to disagree. He even disdained his own sons who wanted to marry her.

"Your Majesty, I have no plans to start a family for the time being."

They ended the conversation and started talking about business.

"The nobleman that Li Rui mentioned was a bastard from the second branch of the Gao family in the Ministry of Rites. He had been expelled from the family. The bastard sent people to arrest him, but they found that he had died of illness in his own courtyard."

Emperor Jianchang didn't look very happy.

He said nothing more, and they discussed other matters.

Tao Yuwei left the imperial study and said to Eunuch Zhao shyly, "Last time I had an argument with the Seventh Princess, it was a big fight. Today I reflected on it at home and felt that I was a little impulsive that day.

Please, Eunuch Zhao, send someone to take me to see the Seventh Princess. I want to apologize to her.

To make it up to her, I took a bottle of perfume made by my mother and gave it to her to make amends. "

Zhao Chong was deeply relieved after hearing this.

The always domineering Princess Anle has grown a lot recently.

She actually knows how to reflect on herself. Your Majesty would be very happy if he knew it!

So he smiled and said it was a good thing.

He called his godson Zhao Kui and said, "Go and take Princess Anle to Qiumei Palace. Don't take too long, as Princess Anle will have dinner with His Majesty."

Zhao Kui understood and nodded quickly.

His godfather's words reminded him to take Princess Anle to meet the Seventh Princess. If the atmosphere was not right, he should take Princess Anle away as soon as possible to prevent the two from fighting again.

Tao Yuwei took Yunxiao and followed Zhao Kui to the harem.

Not long after they left, the maid who was left alone in the side hall quietly disappeared into the darkness.

The maidservant was as nimble as a rabbit. She skillfully avoided the patrols in the palace, walked around the abandoned palace, passed through a small door used only by eunuchs, and came to an empty palace.

Not long after she entered, a figure slowly appeared and entered the hall.

This is Tao Yuwei's side.

Follow Zhao Kui to Qiumei Palace where the seventh princess Xiao Zixuan lives.

Xiao Zixuan is copying the palace rules for the one hundred and first time today.

When Xiao Zixuan heard the news that Zhao Kui brought Tao Yuwei to see her, her eyes widened and she almost spit fire.

She clenched her jaw and threw the brush in her hand away angrily.

"Go tell Zhao Kui that this princess wants to see that lunatic."

Thinking about the suffering I have endured recently, I have been under the strict guidance of the nanny all day long, either practicing etiquette or practicing needlework, and I can never finish my homework every day.

At night, she had to copy the palace rules two hundred times and present them to the Empress for her review the next day before they could be considered acceptable.

Seeing that her master's temper had not subsided at all, the personal maidservant beside Xiao Zixuan hurried to persuade her.

"Princess, Princess Anle is here to see you. You cannot refuse her. If you want the Queen to release you from your punishment as soon as possible, you must meet Princess Anle with courtesy."

Xiao Zixuan became even angrier after hearing this. "I am a princess of noble birth, why should I treat a barbarian with courtesy?"

"Princess, she was brought to see you by Eunuch Zhao's godson. Your Majesty may also know about this. If you want to end the punishment as soon as possible, it's best to meet her!"

Under the strong persuasion of her personal maid, Xiao Zixuan reluctantly nodded in agreement.

However, she did not see Tao Yuwei immediately. Instead, she took her time to wash and dress elegantly, took the graceful steps taught by the etiquette nanny, sat on the seat of honor, and then ordered people to open the palace gate.

Tao Yuwei stepped into Qiumei Palace.

Her eyes were calm and she didn't look away!

Seeing the almost unrecognizable Seventh Princess sitting there, Tao Yuwei almost laughed out loud.

Oh, this guy dressed himself up as a peacock.

She was wearing a green dress with the hem decorated with fabrics of various colors.

Xiao Zixuan raised her chin high and looked down at Tao Yuwei, her eyes full of wanton disdain.

It really looked like a proud peacock, looking down at her with disdain.

"Seventh Princess, I came here to apologize to you. I was a little too harsh last time. I will be gentler next time."

Her words successfully broke Xiao Zixuan's defense.

"Anle, you've gone too far. This princess doesn't need your apology."

The seventh princess's dignified etiquette was broken in a short while.

Tao Yuwei smiled and sat down beside her.

"Seventh Princess, this is how you should act. You just now made me feel like I was looking at a monkey."

Her words successfully angered Xiao Zixuan.

The other person stood up regardless of anything, rushed down, and wanted to pounce on her.

Fortunately, the person's personal maid was very powerful and successfully stopped it.

"Anle, what on earth are you doing here? If you have nothing else to do, get out of here. This princess doesn't want to see you."

Seeing that the other party was completely broken by her, Tao Yuwei said leisurely, "I don't mean anything else. For the sake of Uncle An Huang's heart, let's stop making trouble."

"Here, I came here today to give you something as an apology for what happened before."

She waved to Yunxiao behind her, "Hurry up and bring the things up."

Yunxiao took out the beautifully packaged perfume and presented it to Xiao Zixuan's maid.

"This is the essence my mother made from fresh plum blossoms she picked last winter. I'll give you a bottle and all the grudges between us will be wiped out."

Tao Yuwei said casually while drinking tea.

Before coming, she did her homework. Xiao Zixuan loved plum blossoms the most, and her Qiumei Palace was planted with plum trees.

The Seventh Princess didn't originally want her things, but when she saw the gorgeous plum blossom painting on the outer packaging, she was shamelessly moved.

She didn't care about being called petty and opened the package on the spot.

The plum blossom painted on the packaging exuded a faint fragrance, and Xiao Zixuan took a deep breath.

This was the first time she had seen such a rich and pure fragrance of plum blossoms.

Look at the pink liquid contained in a beautiful crystal bottle.

Yunxiao hurried forward to guide the other party how to use it.

Tao Yuwei took this opportunity to quickly take a look at the layout of Qiumei Palace.

Her eyes fell on the antique display cabinet not far from the bed.

It was filled with a lot of valuable things, and among these valuable things was a small wooden box.

When she saw the wooden box, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

This is what you are looking for.

The incident where Dad was framed for corruption happened more than a month earlier than the original plot, but the wooden box containing the fake account book remained unchanged.

I have to find a way to exchange this wooden box.

There were several wooden boxes prepared in advance stored in her ring space.

There is one that is similar to the one on the antique shelf.

Seeing Yunxiao and the others discussing knowledge about essences, she stood up and walked towards the antique shelf with a clear conscience.

This made Xiao Zixuan put away the bottle of perfume in her hand and follow over nervously.

"Anle, what are you looking at?"

Tao Yuwei stood in front of the antique display cabinet and raised her hand to pick up the Dongzhu that was stored next to the wooden box.

"This is the first time I've seen such a big night-shining pearl. This princess also wants one."

Looking at her greedy look, Xiao Zixuan curled her lips in disdain.

Anle is too petty and not presentable at all.

Compared with the noble ladies from well-established families in the capital, she was far behind.

I don’t know why the Sixth Prince insisted on marrying her?

Fortunately, she did not notice the thing given by her sixth brother.

"Princess Anle, it's time for us to go back." Zhao Kui walked in and reminded.

The time he had given the two little ancestors to get along with each other was up, and it was time to separate.

If the situation drags on, and the two of them start fighting before they can finish their sentences, it will be difficult to end the situation.

"Okay, I'll leave now. The Emperor is still waiting for me to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

Tao Yuwei shouted to Shang Yunxiao and walked out of Qiumei Palace.

Looking at the backs of the master and servant leaving, Xiao Zixuan worriedly drove the people around her away.

Her eyes turned red with jealousy, as she had never eaten alone with her father.

Taking a deep breath, she returned to the antique display cabinet, picked up the wooden box, and carefully opened it to inspect it.

Fortunately, the things that her Sixth Brother gave her are all there. Tomorrow, after she pays her respects to the Queen Mother, she will take the opportunity to meet her father.

I believe that once he sees what’s in this wooden box, the Sixth Brother will be able to lift the punishment of house arrest.

She closed the wooden box and looked around the hall, her eyes fixed on a hidden place.

Just as she put the wooden box away, there was a knock on the door. Before she could react, the door was pushed open.

"Princess, Concubine Huo's people are waiting for you."

The personal maid ran up to her and reported in a low voice.

"Let's go and meet him."

Not long after the master and servant left, a nimble figure pushed open the palace door.
