At this time, the imperial guards had finished searching the palace, and the doors of each room were wide open. Everyone was so shocked by the scene in the room that they almost forgot to breathe.
Everyone was woken up from their rooms. How could everything disappear in less than a cup of tea? !
What's even more bizarre is that not only the valuables in the room are gone, but also the gilded beasts on the eaves, the copper rings on the gate, and the decorations on the beams...
All of them are gone!!!
Even though he had seen the entire council hall being emptied before, Xiao Huaishuo was still extremely shocked when he saw the entire palace being emptied in less than half a minute.
He turned to look at Su Qingning, who looked relaxed, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear:
"You did it?"
"Yeah, I robbed your house, do you have any opinion?"
Su Qingning appeared to be nonchalant on the surface, but was actually a little nervous inside, waiting to see Xiao Huaishuo's reaction.
Handsome men are what I want, but if they don’t behave, I will run away at any time!
Anyway, she now has her own space and doesn't have to worry about anything. She stayed because she felt comfortable with this family.
If Xiao Huaishuo couldn't tolerate her peculiarities, or had any improper thoughts about her, she could just walk away at any time!
Xiao Huaishuo's face did not show much expression, and he asked calmly:
"You were also responsible for the burglary of the palace?"
Su Qingning now really admired the psychological quality of this cheap husband. After all, her skills were too out of this time and space, and a normal person would be shocked.
Xiao Huaishuo, however, still looked calm and composed.
Su Qingning had the idea of teasing her, and said with a smile:
"Yes, I not only emptied the Imperial Palace, but also the Eastern Palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the residences of many corrupt officials. Do you want to sue me now~"
Xiao Huaishuo found her inexplicably cute, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He couldn't help but purse his thin lips and said lightly:
"Well done!"
Su Qingning couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
You made the right choice, this husband is great!
Over there, the emperor refused to believe this and personally led a team of guards to search every corner of the palace, but he couldn't find a single needle.
He was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he stared at Xiao Huaishuo with murderous eyes.
"Okay! Xiao Huaishuo, you are so brave! You actually emptied Prince Zhan's mansion before the imperial court raided it! Tell me! Where did you put all your things? Confess and I will spare your life!"
Xiao Huaishuo was still calm and composed, as if he was the judge and Tai was the prisoner who was cornered.
"What are you talking about, Your Highness? I learned that Prince Zhan's mansion was convicted and confiscated, and after the imperial decree was issued, I was escorted back to Prince Zhan's mansion by the imperial guards. How could I possibly empty Prince Zhan's mansion under everyone's noses?!"
"Your Highness is in charge of the Military Affairs Department and controls the security of the capital. How could anyone emptied the Zhan Palace under your watch? In my opinion, it seems that some people want to embezzle the huge fortune of my Zhan Palace and play the trick of surveillance and self-stealing!"
Su Qingning stood beside him, also looking like she was about to cry and was terribly frightened.
"No! No! My ten-figure dowry! It's gone in the blink of an eye! Wuuuuuuu... I don't know where this thief came from to have such a great ability!"
In my heart, I wanted to give Xiao Huaishuo a 666 and secretly admired his quick reaction.
Previously, he had alienated the monarch and his ministers with a single word from the palace, and now, Yin Yang Tai was stealing from the palace and trying to embezzle the property of Prince Zhan's mansion. The logic was so tight that it was hard to refute.
The Xiao family was also confused and didn't know what was going on. At this time, they also spoke up for the two.
Grandmother Liu Qing pounded her cane hard, her eyes sparkling.
"Your Highness, the punishment must be reasonable. If the whole city is under martial law, how can my grandson vacate Prince Zhan's mansion in a few hours? If this gets out, I'm afraid the servants will laugh their heads off!"
Tai had a hunch that someone from Prince Zhan's mansion was behind this, but he couldn't find any evidence. He felt like he had kicked against a rock, and he was so angry that he almost broke his back teeth.
The reason why 놛꿷꽭 came here was that the Zhan Wang Mansion was extremely wealthy, not inferior to the East Palace's private treasury. It was just right for him to take the things he had seized to honor his father, so that the old man wouldn't ask him for money when he was now broke.
Now, not only did they fail to confiscate his property, but Xiao Huaishuo also made him speechless, which made him lose face.
The Queen Mother glanced at everyone in Prince Zhan's Mansion with a fierce look in her eyes, determined to regain the upper hand.
At first glance, he saw Su Qingning, who was immersed in the performance, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This girl is really pretty! If you can't cure Xiao Huaishuo, can you cure a weak girl? !
"It must be Xiao Huaishuo's doing! Someone, come! Strip Su for me! The evidence is definitely hers!!"
Xiao Huaishuo's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, and he moved his wheelchair to block Su Qingning.
Grandmother Liu Qing and mother Zhang Qinxue also brought several members of the Xiao family to block her.
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! Although the Holy Lord has demoted my Xiao family to commoners, he has not said that my Xiao family can be humiliated at will. If Your Highness questions the humiliation of my Xiao family's women, you can walk over my corpse before you do!"
The eldest sister-in-law, Li Xuanyi, was also very angry and started to curse in front of Su Qingning.
"Your Highness! The accuser must have evidence! You bully a woman in public, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the servants?!"
Tai's bloated face had a triumphant expression. Seeing that the Xiao family was all anxious, the previous depression disappeared.
"Drag these troublemakers away! You guys are protecting that woman so much, she must be hiding some shameful secret! Drag her out here and strip her naked in front of everyone!"
Several imperial guards followed the order and came over. Xiao Huaishuo's eyes seemed to flash with determination, ready to call in the remaining forces hiding outside to fight this dog Tai to the death.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in from outside the door. A door panel weighing hundreds of pounds flew in from the door and directly knocked Tai to the ground.
"bump--"
"ah--"
The heavy door panel hit the ground with a deafening sound, sending up a huge amount of dust.
Tai was like a flattened pufferfish. His eyes rolled back, he spat out a mouthful of thick blood and passed out.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
"Imperial Guards! Why don't you go catch the assassin?"
"Bring His Highness here first! Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician quickly! Your Highness, please wake up!"
The front hall was in chaos. A soldier took great effort to lift the door and bring the queen out. No one cared to take off Su Qingning's clothes.
The Xiao family was horrified at the bizarre scene in front of them, and they all protected their relatives behind them with serious expressions.
Su Qingning also imitated the maids around her and looked frightened.
"Wuwuwu... It's really scary! Wuwuwu... Ouch! I saw a black shadow heading east! Soldiers, chase it! We must not let go of this villain who wants to harm the royal heir!!"
