The Minister of Revenue slapped his thigh, pointed at him, and didn't know what to say. He flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the palace.

With such a big incident, the emperor would certainly be furious, and I don’t even know if I can save my life.

The Emperor of the Western Regions had been feeling uneasy and upset since he woke up in the morning.

"Send someone to the Prince's Palace to check on Jun Zegan's head, and order the imperial physician to treat him. Don't let him pretend to be sick with the injury on his head." The attack on Tianshun is imminent, and the Heavenly Master has calculated the best time. If it is missed, it will be detrimental to the overall plan.

"yes."

Before he could turn around and leave, he saw a Minister of Revenue falling outside the hall.

"Your Majesty! Your humble servant, Minister of Revenue Li Ting, requests to see you."

The Western Region Emperor only felt that 뀞꿗 was even more annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "Let him in."

The eunuch walked out, helped Li Ting up from the ground, and said with concern: "Hey, Lord Li, please be careful. Look, your official uniform is torn."

How could Li Ting have the official uniform that the governor was wearing? He walked in quickly with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, something has happened! It's terrible!"

"How dare you!" The Western Region Emperor said angrily, "Who allowed you to say such unlucky words?"

"Your Majesty, the silver in the treasury disappeared overnight!" Li Ting said anxiously: "Except for the shelves and boxes, everything inside is gone!"

"What?" The Western Region Emperor stood up suddenly, holding the jade beads in his hand tightly: "Say it again to me!"

"Your Majesty, everything in the treasury disappeared overnight."

"How can you?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. I went to check today and it was empty. The guards outside didn't hear any noise at all, but everything in the treasury is gone, Your Majesty!"

The Western Region Emperor stumbled, and the eunuch beside him hurried forward to support him: "Your Majesty."

"No, absolutely not!" His eyes were red and full of madness: "Someone come! Someone come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial guards rushed in.

"Go to the treasury! Let me take a good look!"

The guards received the order and prepared to leave, but he stopped them: "Go to the City Prince's Mansion and let the City Prince investigate."

Before this happened, the only person he could really rely on was the City King.

When the city king received the order, he was extremely surprised.

"All the things in the national treasury are gone?"

"Your Highness, I don't know what happened. The treasury was clearly heavily guarded, but everything in it disappeared overnight. I asked the soldiers on duty, and they said that except for one person who went in to deliver some banknotes, no one else had been there."

"Send a banknote?" The city king frowned and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

The Minister of Revenue then repeated what he had heard from the treasurer: "Your Highness, even if that person is a thief, he cannot empty the entire treasury overnight! Even if dozens of treasurers were to do the work, they cannot empty the entire treasury in such a short time without disturbing anyone." He hesitated for a while, his voice slightly hoarse: "Your Highness, do you think it was a ghost?"

If it were in the past, he would certainly sneer at it, but now, if the facts are really as he said, then this is simply not something a human would do.

If it is not a ghost, how else can it be explained?

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has asked you to take charge of this matter. Do you want to go to the treasury and take a look?"

The King of the City nodded. He had to go and see such a strange thing.

Several people came to the treasury, and the King of the City took a look around. It was indeed as the Minister of Revenue said. There was no sign of rummaging here, and there was no sign that the doors and windows had been forced open. There was thick dust on the boxes here, but there was not even a fingerprint left on them, as if...

It's like taking something from a distance.

No wonder the Minister of Revenue said it was the work of ghosts and gods.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"I will explain this to the Emperor." After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the innermost box.

This box looks very familiar.

He walked over to the box, which still had a wax seal on it.

"Your Highness, this is the box that the little guard brought last night. It contains one million taels of silver notes. I did not open it. The wax seal is intact, so I think the silver notes are still inside."

The King of the City's eyes flickered. He removed the wax seal and carefully opened the box. Where was the banknote inside?

"This, this!" The Minister of Revenue exclaimed in surprise: "The wax seal is still there, how could the banknotes inside disappear?"

It must be a ghost!

The City King narrowed his eyes, looked at the familiar box, and sighed secretly.

He took the box in his hand and examined it carefully. If he remembered correctly, this was the box that Ruoyi used to give him medicine. He put it to his nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, there was a faint scent of medicine.

He knew who to ask about this matter.

The King of City brought the box back to the palace, and Master Ye was changing the medicine for Jun Zegan.

"You two are really a family. His wounds haven't healed yet, but someone has punched a hole in your head. Fortunately, they avoided your vital parts, otherwise I would be burning incense instead of applying medicine to you today."

Ever since Ye Lao revealed his identity to King Cheng, he no longer suppressed his personality and said whatever he wanted to say. Jun Zegan knew that he had a complicated relationship with his mother, the concubine, and his sister, so he was very polite to him.

Now hearing him say this, I could only smile bitterly.

Just then, he saw his father walking in holding a box.

"Father, didn't you go to the Ministry of Revenue?"

The City King put the box down, his eyes were heavy and he said nothing.

Seeing his father's strange expression, Jun Zegan asked in a low voice: "But what happened?"

"I will go to see His Majesty in a moment. You will come with me to the palace later to bring your sister back from the Queen Mother."

"But didn't Ruoyi say there was still something unfinished?"

Upon hearing this, the City King's eyes fell on the box and he smiled and said, "There was indeed something that was not completed yesterday, but today, I think it has been completed."

After the two of them entered the palace, Jun Zegan went directly to Ningshou Palace. At this time, Shang Ruoyi was chatting with the Queen Mother to relieve her boredom. She told the Queen Mother about her experiences in exile, and the Queen Mother listened with relish. Eunuch Liu stepped forward and whispered, "Queen Mother, the Prince of Cheng is here, and he said he is here to take the little princess back."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother subconsciously grabbed Shang Ruoyi's hand and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shang Ruoyi understood clearly that her father must have known about the theft in the national treasury. Perhaps he also saw the clue she left for him.

"I don't know either. The prince of the city said that the prince asked him to pick someone up."

The Queen Mother originally wanted to refuse, but then she thought about how she had just reunited with her son, and since he said he wanted to take his daughter back, if she stopped him, she was afraid that he would be disappointed.
