The door of the study is usually locked, and no outsiders are allowed to enter. There are also guards from the palace guarding it, so how could an outsider break in?
She couldn't help but ask, "How are the palace guards who are responsible for guarding the study?"
The criminal discussed Shen Yubai's instructions before answering:
"Your Highness, they were all drugged and passed out. The Imperial City Bureau has woken them up and is questioning them about what happened."
Princess Cheng's face turned ugly after hearing this.
She had some doubts in her heart, wondering if Shen Yubai really wanted to take action against Prince Cheng's Mansion and deliberately arranged this drama.
However, those guards were the most loyal to the palace and were close confidants who knew everything about it. It was highly unlikely that they were bribed by the Imperial City Bureau to help tell lies.
Could it be that a thief really broke into the palace?
If something is lost in the prince's study...
Princess Cheng's heart sank suddenly. She walked up to Shen Yubai and said, "Your Highness Prince Zhan, please allow me to go to the prince's study to see if anything is missing."
Everyone moved to the courtyard where the study was located. As soon as Princess Cheng entered, she saw several guards being interrogated by the Imperial City Criminal Investigation Department.
They all looked pale and unsteady, and it was obvious that the effects of the drugs had not completely worn off.
Princess Cheng asked, "Did you see what the person who drugged you looked like?"
The leading guard lowered his head in shame:
"Your Highness, that person's Qinggong skills were excellent. We only had time to see a black shadow flash by before we were hit. Apart from that, we didn't see anything else clearly."
Princess Cheng's face turned even uglier after hearing this.
These people were the most skilled in martial arts among the guards of the palace, but even they couldn't see the thief's face clearly.
This is definitely not an ordinary thief. Only a top organization in the martial arts world like Tianming Pavilion can afford to support such a master.
Princess Ruining didn't think as much as her mother did. She stamped her feet in anger, pointing at the guards and cursing, "You are so useless! Is your father raising you to eat dry food? You can't even prevent a thief. What's the point of having you?"
Several guards were scolded so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads. Princess Ruining wanted to call them trash, but was stopped by Princess Cheng.
"Well, what's the point of talking about this now? I'll go into your father's study and take a look."
Princess Cheng was about to walk into the study, but was stopped by Jiang Xiancao, "Auntie, please don't go in yet."
Upon hearing this, Princess Cheng stopped and slowly turned her head to look at Jiang Xiancao.
