Little did he know that the Queen's palace was already in a state of chaos as they tried to coordinate with the Emperor's words.
"Empress, we have checked the imperial kitchen for a day and found no suspicious people. The eunuchs on duty that night were also checked and found no one was stealing food!"
Nanny An told the Queen the news reported from below.
After hearing this, the queen felt even more uneasy.
"The Imperial Kitchen is responsible for all the food in the palace, but now it has made such a mistake. Although His Majesty has only ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, he is actually warning me of my dereliction of duty!"
When Nanny An heard the Queen say this, she immediately spoke up for herself and said, "Your Majesty, maybe you have misunderstood? Although the Imperial Kitchen is also under the management of the harem, nothing has happened over the years. Now it's just a thief who stole food. Your Majesty shouldn't..."
Before Nanny An could finish her words, she was stopped by the Queen, who sighed and said, "You don't understand. His Majesty is in the highest position in the world. If a thief appears in the place he thinks is the safest, he will be uneasy. This matter can be big or small, but since His Majesty mentioned it, it is a big deal!"
Suddenly, Lin Jiuxi saw a row of particularly bright flames in the distance, which were still moving and coming towards them.

Looking at the moon in the sky, Lin Jiuxi suddenly felt bored. He looked around and thought to himself that he should not have talked about this topic earlier. It was really embarrassing.
Not long after the two men landed on the ground, they heard some scattered footsteps mixed with Qiang's neat and powerful steps, and someone shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Lin Jiuxi and Ah Wu looked at each other and thought that something might have happened in the palace. Could it be that a thief really broke in?
"It's already the twilight hour now. If we mobilize so many troops, it will definitely alert the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, if we don't find anything, we won't be able to explain to the harem!"
The palace was heavily guarded, and the queen would never believe that a thief had sneaked into the palace just to steal food! He must have had a purpose.
Nanny An immediately understood and said admiringly, "The Queen is right!"
Lin Jiuxi suddenly felt that Ah Wu, Ah Jiu, Ah Qi...it turned out that they lived a harder life than himself.
"Make arrangements and start searching the palace now. Don't let any place go unpunished!"
Ah Wu explained calmly.
Lin Jiuxi suddenly asked.
"Why? No wife? Don't you want to have your own children?"
Two people sat on the roof, feeling the breeze, and the embarrassment was also blown away by the wind!
Nanny An was worried that the Queen's temporary loneliness would make the Emperor unhappy.
The queen sneered and said, "If the thief has not left the palace, and a day has passed since the incident, and there has been no movement in the palace, the thief will definitely relax his vigilance. Midnight is also the time when people are most likely to be sleepy. Wouldn't it be better to check it out?"
"No problem, wait till midnight and then take your men to start the search!"
Lin Jiuxi said with some disbelief.
Lin Jiuxi pushed Ah Wu and said, "What are you doing over there?"
Ah Wu's expression also tensed up, and he said, "Princess, I will go over and take a look. If, if it is really you who takes care of yourself, Ah Jiu and I will not betray you!"
Ah Wu also thought of it a little later, and shook his head seriously and said, "I don't know!"
After saying this, Ah Wu jumped onto the top of the wall and disappeared in a few moments.
The Queen naturally thought of what Nanny An had considered. This matter was not a big deal from the beginning, but His Majesty insisted on finding out something, so she just did what he asked.
After cleaning the place, everything was spotless except for the smell of barbecue in the air.
Ah Wu was stunned for a moment, and said, "I am a secret guard, I cannot marry!"
If the matter is not yet solved by then, and the Queen is punished by His Majesty, that would be bad.
This is what the people who trained them said when they were very young, so this idea has been ingrained in them and they have never thought about getting married and having children.
Ah Wu turned his head and looked over. After a while, he said, "The only ones who can walk around the palace freely at this time are the imperial guards and the eunuchs on night duty!"
Lin Jiuxi felt that as secret guards, their thinking was very strange! "Because marrying a wife would add burden to us and also give the enemy leverage!"
After doing all this, Ah Wu also went up to the roof. After going out last night, Lin Jiuxi had further improved his skills in Qinggong. His movements on the roof tonight were obviously much more skillful than last night.
Lin Jiuxi asked curiously! "Yes, I have been trained to be a secret guard since I was a child. It is impossible for us to get married!"
The barbecued food was just made of branches. Ah Wu was used to it. He cleaned up the scene immediately after eating to avoid leaving any evidence.
"Huh? Can't get a wife?"
This kind of loneliness is not something that ordinary people can bear.
It was a unique experience for the two of them to sit on the roof and enjoy the moon.
At this time, Lin Jiuxi was still very sensible. Ah Wu had been with Nangong Jing for many years and knew more about the affairs of the palace than he did.
Nanny An was also worried about what the Queen said, and hurriedly asked, "But we didn't find any useful information in the imperial kitchen today. What direction should we look in now?"
Lin Jiuxi didn't quite understand and was about to take a closer look when she heard Ah Wu say, "Maybe something has happened. Princess, let's go down first so we don't get discovered!"
"Um!"
In Jufang Garden, after Lin Jiuxi had his meal, he asked Ah Wu to clean up the place while he went up to the roof to admire the moon.
"Could it be that Ah Jiu was discovered sneaking into the palace? That's why..."
"But I didn't see anything like this last night. Everyone was holding a torch. What were they doing? Burning something?"
I can’t even have my own family or friends!
She told it to protect the safety of the harem; she was just too nervous.
"Yes, Queen, please forgive me for my confusion. Why do you want to search the palace at midnight?"
"Awu, if you get married in the future, what kind of woman will you marry?"
Lin Jiuxi thought of Ah Jiu at this time, and asked quickly: "Will Ah Jiu come to the palace tonight?"
Before Lin Jiuxi could even finish his words, Ah Wu had already walked away.
"Make sure nothing happens to you and Jiu!"
Lin Jiuxi wanted to go over and take a look, but he thought that he would be too conspicuous if he went there, and might even cause trouble for Ah Wu.
In fact, Lin Jiuxi discovered that this team of imperial guards was actually Nanny An, who brought about twenty eunuchs and a team of imperial guards following them. They began to search every palace one by one.
Starting the search from the palace next to the Imperial Palace, the next place we are going to is Wanxiang Palace.
