Chapter 425 I Don’t Trust Anyone But Myself

A figure quietly left at the back of the corridor.

Ye Qianning turned his head and tightened the golden medicine in his hand, with no expression on his face.

After a long while, as if after a mental battle, she threw the golden medicine into the space to teach him a lesson.

It's dawn.

The city of Kyoto was dead and the streets were empty.

After the overnight search yesterday, almost no one went out, and every household closed their doors for fear of getting into trouble.

Early in the morning, the envoys of the three kingdoms went to the palace to inquire about the reason why the city gates were closed. The Emperor of Beili explained that thieves had appeared in the palace and had emptied Concubine Yuan's bedroom.

There were very important items inside, and someone saw that the thief was a woman.

The city gates can only be reopened after the entire city of Kyoto has been searched. The envoys from the three countries are also requested not to leave Kyoto at this time.

Nanyuan didn't care. Dongyi had not left Kyoto for the time being. When they learned that the matter had nothing to do with Dongyi, they naturally sat down and watched the show.

Xi Yan remained calm, but many more royal guards appeared around the inn where Xi Yan lived.

Their every move is under the surveillance of Emperor Beili.

After searching for a whole day, there was no further report or news.

Emperor Beili had a gloomy expression on his face as he stared at the fake secret room key. He couldn't recall when it was replaced. The only people who could replace it were the concubines in the harem and the palace maids serving in front of him.

There are also several eunuchs who serve as personal guards.

Emperor Beili suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Eunuch Li: "Who do you think stole the key?"

Eunuch Li knelt down in fear and said, "I don't know."

Emperor Beili stared at the person on the ground with his deep eyes.

Eunuch Li was trembling all over.

"Come here, check all the concubines I have visited in the past month, and drag all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace away for interrogation." The steady voice of Emperor Beili sounded.

The guard left secretly.

Eunuch Li was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

"Li Quanfu, how many years have you followed me?"

"Your Majesty, it has been eleven years."

"Eleven years is not a short time." Bei Li said slowly.

Eunuch Li had sweat dripping from his forehead and his face turned pale.

Emperor Beili was silent for a moment: "I still trust you very much."

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you."

"I really want to see how loyal you are to me."

Eunuch Li trembled even more violently, knowing that he could not escape the disaster.

"Come here, take Eunuch Li away and interrogate him strictly."

When the guards came, Eunuch Li did not resist. He kowtowed to Emperor Beili and was dragged away.

Bei Lidi's eyes were dark. He didn't trust anyone. The fact that his key was stolen and replaced was enough to prove that someone around him had second thoughts. If someone had murderous intentions...

He clenched his fingers tightly, preferring to kill a thousand people by mistake rather than let one go.

"Song An, select a new group of palace maids and eunuchs to serve, and be sure to be cautious." Emperor Beili said in a deep voice.

"yes."

A muffled sound arose, and the man left quietly.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yuan requests an audience." The imperial guard came in and reported.

"Xuan."

Emperor Beili put his finger on his forehead. After searching for a whole day, there was no clue about the person, nor about the thief. How did so many things get taken out of the palace?

Concubine Yuan came hurriedly in her finest attire: "Greetings to the Emperor."

"No need for formalities." Emperor Beili waved his hand.

"Has the emperor found any clues?" Concubine Yuan rushed over as soon as she heard that the Ministry of War had sent people into the palace.

"No."

"Your Majesty, this matter is extremely serious. The thieves were able to empty my chambers without knowing the situation. If they set their sights on the national treasury, the consequences will be disastrous."
