The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

Huang Hu is actually a very cautious person, which can be seen from the fact that he acts arrogantly in the local area but rarely any news of him spreads to the outside world.

But there is a saying that goes, when something is done, it will leave traces, it just depends on when these traces will be discovered.

Huang Hu is cautious, but he is not a wise man. It is just that various factors have prevented him from being exposed to the outside world for so many years.

At least it didn't spread to the capital.

In fact, even if the emperor had not made this tour, with the gradual calming of Daning, and even the successive natural disasters in recent years, Daning has become more and more skilled in its response measures, and it is possible that even if a major flood occurs in the future, Daning will not be in such chaos.

By that time, Huang Hu would not be able to hide even if he wanted to.

If it weren't for these natural disasters and man-made calamities that attracted the attention of the emperor and even court officials, Huang Hu, the vicious tiger entrenched here, growing up by sucking the blood and flesh of local people, would have been noticed sooner or later.

And now, his luck has apparently run out.

The Seventh Princess, through the officials... well, now she is a criminal, followed the clue of Huang Hu's sister and soon found out everything about the collusion between officials and bandits. By the way, she also dug up the officials who had colluded with Huang Hu in the past.

However, coincidentally, the official who used to be a local official here and had collusion with Huang Hu was convicted and executed when Yang Jianrang's forces were cleared out three years ago, but at that time it was because of another crime that was fatal.

In addition, the Seventh Princess also found out that two officials who had taken office in the local area at that time and died of illness shortly afterwards were killed by Huang Hu and others because they did not want to be in cahoots with them.

On the other hand, Prince An found out some local bandits and vagrants. A few of them were forced to become bandits, but most of them were related to Huang Hu.

This was why Qianniang's husband was stabbed to death by bandits on the road.

Grandma Qianniang had a similar reason, but what she encountered were not bandits, but thieves who sneaked in in the middle of the night and were "killed to silence them" because they were discovered. In fact, it was Huang Hu who ordered it.

With the emperor, Prince An and the Seventh Princess, as well as other officials with good intelligence and strategies, Huang Hu, even though he was a huge dark cloud hanging over the heads of the local people, could not resist their reckoning in the end.

The emperor and his entourage stayed here for ten days and managed to resolve most of the issues.

During this period, Li Qingyi discovered a big surprise - the little girl who was protected by Qianniang and came to file a complaint to the emperor was her student.

This was actually discovered by Li Qingyi by accident. Or rather, it was the Seventh Princess who first discovered something was wrong. After Li Qingyi learned about it, he searched the system and discovered it.

The little girl's name is Lin Xile. Her original name was Huang Xi, a name Huang Hu gave her casually. It seemed to have some good meaning, but in fact, it was just that her mother was a little knowledgeable and didn't want her daughter to be like herself, without even a proper name.

But the name Huang Xi is related to Huang Hu, so Lin Xile certainly doesn't like it.

Compared to the name Huang Xi, she prefers the name given to her by her parents in her previous life, Lin Xile, or Lin Xile.

It can be understood as hoping that she will be happy even at dusk, whether it is the dusk of every day or the end of life, she will be happy.

It can also be understood as the most simple and unpretentious good wish for her peace and happiness.

In short, Huang Xi became Lin Xile, and the name Lin Xile successfully allowed Li Qingyi to dig out his student from the depths of his memory.

As for why I didn't find it at first...

Because Lin Xile only told her aunt about the name change after she confirmed on the third day that Huang Xi was arrested by the emperor with thundering means. The next day, the Seventh Princess who happened to pass by heard about the name change and asked a few more questions.

Then, when the Seventh Princess was having dinner with Li Qingyi in the evening, she casually expressed her feelings, which were remembered by Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi: [Xiao Ba, you are still not smart enough. You actually asked me to scan after hearing the name to find out that it is my own. ]

System: [Host, I can keep the scan running all day long. If a soul from another world appears, I will definitely find it immediately, but... it requires energy.]

Li Qingyi thought about his merit points which were always fluctuating, and then thought about the large amount of consumption that might occur at any time, and then he shut up.

The process of recognizing each other was not difficult. Looking at Lin Xile’s past experiences, you will find that she shares the same trait with her father Huang Xi in some aspects - caution.

Therefore, before this, Lin Xile's performance in this world did not seem unusual at all. She even played the role of an innocent child for several years and did not show any "extraordinary wisdom". Therefore, before she escaped from the Huang family, no one paid any attention to her.

But the suffering she experienced was unavoidable.

After they recognized each other, Lin Xile said to Li Qingyi calmly, "I actually thought about it at the beginning. I tried very hard to conceive and plan how to escape with my mother, but in the end I gave up."

Li Qingyi was silent.

Lin Xile didn't need Li Qingyi to say anything. She just finally found a trustworthy and reliable listener, even though the other person looked about the same age as her now.

Lin Xile: "Because I found out that what she wanted to escape from was not the Huang family, not this town, but this world."

Lin Xile: "Her heart is dead. If it weren't for me, she might have said goodbye to this world in her own way. I became her only motivation to live, and also the source of her pain."

Lin Xile: "At that time, I understood that it is easy to die, but difficult to live."

Lin Xile: "She was begging for death. That night I thought about whether I should try harder, but... she was still free."

Li Qingyi looked at her. Even though she was saying words that sounded heavy to these people, there was still little expression on Lin Xile's face, as if she was talking about something insignificant.

However, Li Qingyi felt that she seemed to be crying.

So Li Qingyi also cried.

She took a step forward and hugged the skinny girl tightly, murmuring, "I'm sorry..."

If she had discovered Lin Xile earlier, would things have been much better?

If she had worked harder and upgraded the system earlier, would there still be a chance of saving it?

However, Lin Xile just hugged her gently, leaned on Li Qingyi's shoulder, and said calmly: "Teacher, you don't have to say sorry to me. This is not my fault."

Lin Xile: "Of course, teacher, don't worry about me. I know this is not my fault."

Lin Xile: "I just finally understood what Lu Xun meant by cannibalism."
