The other party's words made Tao Yuwei laugh with satisfaction.
"Once the results are found, please send someone to inform this princess. If you need my help, please feel free to ask."
Emperor Jianchang was very good to her, so how could she watch him being poisoned?
Besides, the Great Zhou cannot do without him. His several adult sons are more narrow-minded than each other, and none of them is capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities.
No matter which of his sons inherited the throne, it would be a suffering for the people of the Great Zhou.
He hoped that among the princes under him who had not yet grown up, someone with the destiny to be an emperor would emerge.
Xiao Lichen nodded and agreed to her.
"Princess Anle, when you rescued the Ninth Prince at the hunting ground last time, did you notice anything wrong?"
Since she has the ability to predict the future, does it mean that she already knew that it would be dangerous for the Ninth Prince to go to the hunting ground, which is why she asked His Majesty to borrow someone to accompany him in advance?
Xiao Lichen stared at her face closely, afraid to miss any expression on her face.
"What could be wrong? You're talking as if I can predict the future."
Tao Yuwei rolled her eyes at him. This guy is too sensitive!
"Princess, please speak frankly. His Majesty has ordered the Xiaoyu Guards to investigate the Ninth Prince's encounter with a pack of wolves in the hunting grounds. Our progress has been slow. We've only sealed off Tingya Hall in the city and found a suspicious individual. He's currently in the prison and remains unconscious. All leads have been cut off!"
Xiao Lichen was determined to get more information from her and bring it back.
"Your men are truly formidable. They were able to seal off one of Xiao Chengyan's strongholds, effectively cutting off the male protagonist's access to information within the capital. You truly deserve to be called a villain. You're capable, and your men are no slouch."
Hearing Tao Yuwei praising him in her heart, Xiao Lichen felt an inexplicable undercurrent stirred deep in his heart, making him happy.
He actually smiled, and it was such a beautiful smile. He even had dimples. Wow, it was such a stark contrast to his usual cold demeanor.
Tao Yuwei's gaze was fixed on his face, her phoenix eyes flashing with sparkling light, and she was reluctant to move her eyeballs.
Although Xiao Lichen knew that she was looking at him with admiration, he still couldn't control himself from blushing.
"Princess Anle, when you led your men into the woods of the hunting grounds that day, did you really not notice anything amiss?"
He reminded her uncomfortably, bringing the topic back to where it was interrupted.
During the hunting incident, he heard her thoughts in advance and participated in it.
However, at the most critical moment, he saved the Ninth Prince at the risk of poisoning himself by using force.
As for who was involved in harming the Ninth Prince, he had not yet found out among those princes.
"I think the several attacks by wild beasts that day were very unusual. After all, that place is the royal hunting ground. It's impossible for people to just randomly encounter mad beasts when they go in, right?"
Tao Yuwei came back to her senses, picked up the cup of tea in front of her and drank it in one gulp before answering his question.
[It's not my fault that I can't take my eyes off a handsome guy. It's just that we are born to like beautiful things.]
He loves being shy, and his blushing face is so eye-catching.
[As for who murdered the Ninth Prince, based on the plot and my guess, there must be the protagonist's men around the Ninth Prince in the palace, and in the hunting grounds, in addition to the protagonist's men, there should also be the Sixth Prince's men. It's the result of several parties working together.]
As for what role her cousin Tao Baichuan, who had secretly defected to the Sixth Prince a long time ago, played in it, she currently has no idea.
After hearing this, Xiao Lichen was not surprised.
However, it provided great help in his efforts to investigate the matter.
Was it done by King Han and King Xin?
Then he can use this incident to further investigate the slander against his grandfather's family.
"Thank you for your help, Princess Anle. If you encounter any trouble in the future, please feel free to come to me."
Xiao Lichen made another promise to her in person, and Tao Yuwei agreed with a smile.
The two ended their meeting like this.
After seeing the other party leave, Tao Yuwei sat in the private room and thought for a long time.
Xiao Lichen promised that she would find out the murderer hiding in the palace and attempting to murder His Majesty, so she couldn't sit idle.
Her good cousin Tao Baichuan must have already taken action quietly.
In the name of the General's Mansion, and with the stolen fake military token, she can help the male protagonist Xiao Chengyan recruit soldiers and horses.
After this matter is over, she will not let those people who targeted her family jump around for too long.
A big net has been spread out, and she has waited long enough.
She will deal with one group of people first, and then she will defeat the rest one by one.
After Tao Yuwei left Xiangmanlou, the person who was secretly following her left quietly.
Not long after, the eighth prince Xiao Chengyan learned about her meeting with Xiao Lichen.
Xiao Chengyan sneered, "That loser used to be so good at disguising himself. What's going on? Now he feels a sense of crisis? He also wants to win over the Great General's Mansion."
Before, Tao Yuwei had harassed Xiao Lichen for a while, but it ended in nothing. Everyone knew about this.
Now, these two single men and women have met each other for unknown reasons. Doesn’t this speak volumes?
"Master, it's no secret in the capital that Princess Anle loves the son of Prince Yong. What if they get engaged?"
After the guard Yin Gen reported the news, he was very worried about his master.
The General Guarding the Nation is in the emperor's favor and has the military order in his hand. The Prince Yong is the commander of the Xiaoyu Guard who is trusted by His Majesty. If they join forces, it will disrupt all the plans of the master. This is not good news.
