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

After hearing her words, the leader of the Royal Guards raised his hand, rushed forward without hesitation, and arrested all the suspicious people.

"Princess Anle, are you okay?"

The leader of the Imperial Guards who led the team this time knew her. He was a subordinate of the King's uncle Gu Xinyuan.

This person was also involved when Tao Yuwei rescued the Ninth Prince in the hunting ground.

He admired Tao Yuwei very much for her decisiveness and fearlessness in leading people to rescue the Ninth Prince, which made his boss, Uncle Gu, very grateful.

Seeing Princess Anle looking very aggrieved at the moment, it must be related to the recent rumors.

"Princess Anle, please rest assured. We have taken these people away."

After investigation, they found out why so many crows appeared here.

These people followed Princess Anle shortly after she entered the restaurant and maliciously mocked her while she was having a meal, and were attacked by a large number of crows.

They have reason to suspect that the large-scale appearance of crows was caused by these people.

The matter is of great importance, and we must bring these back to report to His Majesty.

In this way, this team of imperial guards arrested these people and returned to the palace to report to Emperor Jianchang.

When these people were taken away, their faces were ashen and each of them looked numb.

As the Royal Guards left, Tao Yuwei and her servant paid the bill to the restaurant owner.

The owner of the restaurant not only did not charge the master and servant for the meal, but he kept thanking Tao Yuwei.

"Princess Anle's patronage of my shop has brought fame and revenue to my shop, but you didn't even have a peaceful meal in my shop, so you don't have to pay for the meal."

The old man who ran the restaurant was a very honest businessman. Knowing that it was she who brought business to his store, he thanked her specially.

However, the meal bill must be paid, but she has a plan and hopes the other party can agree to her request.

Tao Yuwei insisted on paying, but before she left, she asked the restaurant owner for a favor.

After hearing this, the boss decisively agreed to help her.

After the deal was settled, the master and servant walked out of the busy restaurant.

The crow standing on her shoulder croaked twice, sending a signal to the sky. Then a large number of circling crows quickly flew away, and the sky soon returned to calm.

The large crowd of onlookers saw the crows flying away overhead, but did not leave in a hurry.

They haven't figured out why there are so many crows here.

Those who had been staying outside asked each other for news and watched the fun from those who had just walked out of the restaurant.

"What on earth did those people do? They even alarmed the Imperial Guards."

"Hey, I know what they did. Let me tell you in detail..."

After hearing what happened in the restaurant, some people unanimously believed that the man who deliberately came to chat up Tao Yuwei had evil intentions and was deliberately looking for trouble with Princess Anle.

"Regarding the large number of crows that appeared here, I suspect that these people must have used some kind of drug to deliberately attract these unlucky crows, hoping to plot against Princess Anle."

"The purpose is self-evident, it is nothing more than to first discredit Princess Anle.

Then, with the help of the large number of crows he attracted, he told everyone that Princess Anle was an ominous person.

Who would have thought that when they lifted the stone, they hit their own feet, and the crows smelled the medicine on them and swooped down on them. "

"Your guess is reasonable. I also think this is possible. However, in this case, the person who can come up with such a vicious plan must be very vicious. I don't know who Princess Anle offended to allow the other party to use her innocence without considering the consequences."

"That's not something we should worry about!"

And so, everyone believed that this statement was the most reasonable.

After the crowd dispersed, one of them returned to the restaurant, found the owner and said happily, "Everything was spread out as you said."

The owner of the restaurant nodded happily, "That's good. Let's go and get busy. There are still tables of dishes in the hall that need to be cleared."

Within the capital, the news that Princess Anle was maliciously slandered and lost her innocence while dining in a restaurant, and that it was also believed that she attracted a large number of crows, who were determined to label her an unlucky person, spread throughout the capital like the wind.

The commoner girl Yu Meiyao insisted on following her and wanted to be her personal maid.

Tao Yuwei decisively rejected her offer. Before leaving, she helped her find a job to make a living as a worker in the perfume workshop run by her mother, Wu.

Yu Meiyao nodded happily in agreement.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back home, Tao Yuwei was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Those who were taken away by the Imperial Guards suffered severe physical pain at best, and lost their lives at worst.

I believe that soon the Emperor will help her vent her anger.

Seeing that she had her eyes closed but a silly smile was on her delicate and fair face, the crow standing on her shoulder became unhappy.

[Little girl, my people have been working for you for most of the day, and they are all very hungry. Remember to redeem our promise as soon as possible. When you return, give us mutton strips as soon as possible.]

[Yes, you did a great job! After you go home, I will definitely feed you. ]

Mutton is so expensive that she herself can’t bear to eat it. These crows are too demanding.

Since they are carnivorous birds anyway, just go back and feed them some pork and chicken.

The crows didn't know yet that the mutton strips fed to them had been replaced by other meats by the stingy Tao Yuwei.

The master and servant returned from the trip with satisfaction, but outside, the situation was in chaos because of their stirring up trouble.

Inside the palace of the eighth prince, Prince Xin.

"Master, Tian Linwen sent someone to send a message asking for help. You must ensure that he is safe!"

Aide Zhang Shanzheng reported this urgent news to Xiao Chengyan.

"We can't keep Tian Ce any longer. Arrange someone to get rid of him immediately."

There was a blazing fire in Xiao Chengyan's dark eyes.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Tian Ce was the first person to secretly defect to him.

He helped him raise large sums of money and was a very useful right-hand man.

Now, it has come to the point where we have no choice but to sacrifice the pawn to save the king.

The person who found the evidence of Tian Ce's guilt so easily was his good cousin Xiao Lichen, who was ruthless and decisive.

"Master, Prince Yong should not be underestimated! Without our knowledge, he commanded the Xiaoyu Guards to collect all the evidence of Tian Ce's crimes with lightning speed. Now, it's too late for us to save him."

Zhang Shanzheng shook his head helplessly.

Xiao Chengyan stood with his back to him, his eyes slightly lowered, his hands hidden under his sleeves clenched into fists, which kept shaking slightly.

Xiao Lichen, you've ruined my good thing again. I have endured it for so long and I don't want to endure it any longer.

"Master, that Princess Anle is not a good person. She also contributed to Tian Ce's imprisonment in the Dali Temple today. When you marry her in the future, you must send someone to keep a close eye on her."

Zhang Shanzheng carefully told Xiao Chengyan what Tao Yuwei had done in the Dali Temple today.

After hearing this, Xiao Chengyan sneered, "She relies on that person's love and is a vulgar person who likes to be in the spotlight everywhere.

Apart from her arrogant attitude, she has no redeeming qualities. In my opinion, she is a little bit abnormal in the brain.

He is crazy all day long, does things without considering the consequences, and only cares about his own happiness. There is no need to worry about him. "

Her reputation in this imperial city has become so bad that it cannot be any worse.

He has achieved half of his goal, and he will think carefully about how to do better for the rest.

Zhang Shanzheng thought about it and felt that what the Eighth Prince said made sense, so he didn't say anything more.

"Send someone to tell Tian Linwen that if he wants to save his life, he must draw a line between himself and the Tian family as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will not be able to save him."

Tian Ce has become an abandoned pawn, but Tian Linwen is still of great use and must be protected.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"

Zhang Shanzheng bowed respectfully and left.

After everyone left, Xiao Chengyan called his men, "Go, send some people to keep an eye on Xiao Lichen. If necessary, you can take action directly."

A dark shadow disappeared behind him in the blink of an eye.

The Huo family, the residence of the Minister of Works.

After receiving the news that Tao Yuwei had left the restaurant safely and some people were taken away by His Majesty's Royal Guards personally, Huo Xiujie's face turned pale with fear.

Those who deliberately approached Tao Yuwei in the restaurant and chatted her up and humiliated her were specially arranged by him.

This is bad. Once the Royal Guards find out from those people that he is the mastermind behind this, the Huo family will be reprimanded by His Majesty at best, or in serious trouble.

If his aunt, who is in the cold palace, is implicated by him, the situation will become even more grim.

Huo Xiujie was trembling as he paced back and forth in his study room. Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"What are you frantically doing?"

As soon as the Minister of Works Huo Wei entered the room, he sternly reprimanded his son for his unstable behavior.

"Dad, it's bad. I...I did something wrong again. Please help me."

Under the majestic gaze of his father, Huo Xiujie recounted his action of sending people to throw dirty water on Tao Yuwei.

"You idiot! His Majesty is almost unable to tolerate our Huo family anymore, but you are just causing trouble for me. Come with me to the palace, admit your mistakes to His Majesty, and kneel down to beg for mercy from Princess Anle, asking her to forgive you!"

Huo Wei was so angry that he kicked his son several times.

His sister, Concubine Huo, was disliked by His Majesty and banished to the cold palace. His nephew, the Fourth Prince, was too outrageous and even spared several young concubines in His Majesty's harem. When His Majesty found out, he was imprisoned in the clan house.

His disappointing son plotted against Princess Anle, who was deeply favored by His Majesty.

They were also caught on the spot by the Imperial Guards. In order to vent Princess Anle's anger, His Majesty will not let the Huo family off easily.

It would be very dangerous if His Majesty sent Xiao Yuwei to investigate the Huo family on some pretext.

Huo Wei knew very well that Emperor Jianchang had been dissatisfied with his family for a long time.

Last time, the Fourth Prince committed a crime and was imprisoned. As the Fourth Prince’s uncle, he was ordered by His Majesty to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors for three months and was fined one year’s salary.

He has been sidelined from the important affairs of the Ministry of Industry. If he continues to wait like this, his Huo family may very well cease to exist.

He would never allow such a thing to happen.

Huo Xiujie was beaten by his father until his whole body was in pain, but he was still rational. "Dad, His Majesty has sentenced you to confine yourself to reflect on your mistakes for three months. It's not even a month yet. How can you bring your son into the palace?"

He was not afraid of being reprimanded by His Majesty, but he was afraid of bringing trouble to his entire family.

My sister is still waiting for her cousin, the Fourth Prince, to come to the clan house to get married.

Their whole family knew that the Fourth Prince was not a good match, but they had to marry him.

My younger sister is pregnant with the Fourth Prince's child. My aunt has already sent someone to deliver a letter. If she is given a few more days, the Fourth Prince will be able to be released from the clan residence.

The culprit who caused their Huo family and their aunt to be banished to the cold palace was Princess Anle.

She even exposed her sister's shortcomings in front of many important people, causing her sister to be deeply traumatized and depressed.

He and Anle have reached the point where they are at war to the death.

He didn't want to go at all to have his father apologize to Anle in person.

He already hated her so much in his heart, how could he possibly apologize to her?

"I will ask your mother to bring you to the palace to apologize."

Madam is a woman, so after entering the palace she has to go to the Queen Mother first.

Huo Xiujie nodded reluctantly, agreeing.

In the Tian Mansion surrounded by many Xiaoyu Guards.

All of the Tian family’s property has been confiscated.

All the people in the mansion were gathered together and guarded in batches.

Xiao Yuwei specially captured a few servants from the mansion and distributed food with bamboo baskets.

Tian Linwen and several male servants were locked in a room.

For lunch, I was given a steamed bun and a bowl of water.

He picked up the steamed bun in his hand and ate it slowly until he found something in it.

Carefully putting away the note he had eaten, Tian Linwen finished the steamed bun in his hand as if nothing had happened.

While the others in the room were taking a nap with their eyes closed, he quietly opened the note. After reading its contents, he took a deep breath.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Xin did not stand by and watch him die.

He also gave him a brilliant idea that would allow him to withdraw from the Tian family cleanly and without being implicated in anything.

However, his father was powerless to do anything.

The Prince of Yong, who was highly regarded by His Majesty, found out all the evidence of his father's crimes in a short period of time, and there was almost no room for turning back.

From now on, the Tian family will disappear within the imperial city of the Great Zhou.

After he gets through this difficulty, he will not let go of Princess Anle who openly humiliated his father in the Dali Temple, and he will also definitely bring down the General's Mansion that stands behind her.

Inside the palace.

After receiving the news, the Seventh Princess angrily smashed her vintage shelf which was filled with her collection. Some of these things fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"Those people outside the palace must be blind. How can they be so sure that someone is plotting against that bitch An Le?"

"The fact that she attracted those unlucky crows shows that Anle is not a good person. She did occupy the eldest son of the Tian family. She made a shameful mistake. What's wrong with everyone talking about her? Why are some people starting to speak up for her?"

The seventh princess, Xiao Zixuan, was so angry that she gritted her teeth and picked up a pillow and hit it hard.

The task that Sixth Brother entrusted her with was almost accomplished.

Today, after paying her respects to the Empress, she took the opportunity to run to the door of the Imperial Study to see her father.

As a result, when she was about to enter the imperial study with her things, she was overtaken by the imperial guards who had rushed back from outside the palace.

She did not see her father, but she vaguely heard something about Anle outside the imperial study.

It was Anle who ruined her good fortune.

Tonight, she must find a way to see her father.

In the imperial study at this moment.

Emperor Jianchang heard with his own ears these people admit that they deliberately spread rumors to destroy Tao Yuwei's innocent reputation.

He was so angry that he flew into a rage.
