Chapter 28: Difficulties for the Emperor and His Ministers
"Master, master, you absolutely cannot do this." When the butler heard that Luo Ming was going to the cell, he knelt down and tried to persuade him.
When the other servants saw that the butler had knelt, they naturally knelt down as well.
The doctor looked at the people kneeling in the room. If he didn't know, he would think Luo Ming was dead.
"Butler, get up right now. I'm just going to the cell. Is there any need to act like you're facing a major enemy?"
"Master, it's not that we don't want you to go. It's that you're still ill. How can you go to a place like a prison? What if your condition gets worse? Then Madam will skin me alive."
With no one to help him and Luo Ming unable to get out of bed, he finally agreed to see a doctor first.
When the housekeeper saw that Luo Ming agreed to see the doctor, he immediately became happy. He asked everyone to get up and asked the doctor to come in to see the patient.
The doctor examined Luo Ming but didn't see anything serious. After learning that he had nightmares at night, he prescribed him a tranquilizer.
As soon as the doctor left, Luo Ming hurried back to the prison. He had a question that he had to ask Yue Fuli in person.
He had been an official for so many years, and this was not the only time he had used torture. Why didn't he have such a dream before, but now he had it? And if he remembered correctly, those torture instruments worked on him just as smoothly as they did on Yue Fuli.
His intuition told him that this nightmare was related to Yue Fuli.
However, as soon as Luo Ming got on the carriage and went out, the eunuchs from the palace arrived at his house.
"Eunuch Zhou, why are you here?"
"The Emperor has ordered Lord Xuanluo to enter the palace."
Luo Ming had no choice but to follow Eunuch Zhou to the palace. On the way, Luo Ming quietly inquired about what the emperor wanted to see him about.
Unexpectedly, I heard a shocking news: the emperor's private treasury was emptied. And it was emptied under heavy guard.
What's even more amazing is that none of the guards saw anyone. They only saw the door of the warehouse being opened and the things inside gradually becoming less and less.
The emperor met Luo Ming in his bedroom.
The king and his minister looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They both looked sick, and for the same reason.
Luo Ming's study was emptied yesterday, and the emperor was still thinking that if the thieves dared to come, he would definitely catch them and cut them into pieces.
But he didn't expect to be slapped in the face that night. Seeing Luo Ming, the emperor felt a sense of difficulty between the emperor and his subjects. Although one lost calligraphy and paintings, and the other lost gold and silver, they were both their favorites.
After a while, the emperor finally spoke and asked, "Lord Luo, I'm sure you understand why I summoned you to the palace. What are your thoughts on this matter?"
"In reply to the emperor, I suspect this matter is related to the Yue family."
"The Yue family?" The emperor's expression changed immediately. He hadn't thought about it that way before, but now that he thought about it, it made some sense.
Before, he hadn't touched the Yue family, and nothing had happened. Now that he had touched the Yue family, this private house had been moved. He didn't believe that there was no connection between the two.
"Yes!" Luo Ming nodded, then looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea that may help me find the thief behind this."
"Oh, what's your idea? Tell me!" The emperor was a little anxious. It was his private treasury that was lost, so he was naturally anxious.
Luo Ming was about to tell the emperor his plan when there was a commotion outside.
The emperor's face looked unhappy. He asked, "Zhou Dehai, what's the commotion outside?"
