The emperor's voice was cold and stern, echoing throughout the treasury: "If you can't find the truth, bring me your head!"
This order hung like a sword over the heads of every minister. They knelt in fear and kowtowed, responding in unison, "Yes!"
If they can't find out anything, they will really be beheaded!
The emperor's eyes swept over everyone, and the majesty in his eyes made people tremble with fear.
He slowly turned around and strode away, leaving the ministers behind in fear.
The emperor walked out of the palace with a heavy heart.
He knew that this matter was of great importance, and if the truth could not be found out, it would probably cause a bigger disturbance.
He decided to go to other places to check the situation in person...
With the emperor's departure, the treasury fell into silence.
The ministers looked at each other, their eyes full of worry and fear.
They knew very well that the theft of the national treasury was a very serious matter. There was no example in the world of anyone who could move the entire national treasury away overnight.
Faced with such a complex situation, the ministers were completely clueless and had no idea where to start.
The Emperor of Dashan Kingdom came to the Yellow Granary: empty.
He was so angry that he stamped his feet and killed the guard guarding the granary.
Imperial dining room: empty.
The stove was smashed, and not only the ingredients but even the kitchen utensils were gone. The Emperor of Dashan Kingdom could only vent his anger on the poor stove.
Imperial Medical Service: Empty.
It was really empty. The cabinet for storing medicinal herbs was also gone. It really became an empty room, with only dust left in the room.
Queen's bedroom: empty.
The queen lay on the two-meter-long bed and cried. When she woke up, the bed was the only thing left in her bedroom.
The palaces of the concubines: empty.
The emperor of Dashan Kingdom had lost his temper. Sitting in the sedan chair, he just glanced at the palaces roughly.
This really exhausted the guards carrying the sedan chair.
They practically carried the emperor across most of the palace.
The amount of exercise is considered to be up to standard.
Queen Mother's bedroom: empty.
The emperor of Dashan Kingdom was numb.
This means that his entire palace has been emptied!
In the entire underworld, who can empty out an entire palace overnight?
The Emperor of Dashan Kingdom couldn’t think of a second person!
"His Majesty……"
The Queen Mother sat with a pale face on an old chair found from her private storeroom. Her body and lips were trembling, as if she would faint at any moment.
"Who on earth did this?"
The emperor's face was twisted with rage. He strode forward, his voice trembling: "I will tear this man into pieces!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" The nanny beside the Queen Mother knelt down and said tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down for a moment. The most important thing right now is to find the murderer and retrieve the things that were taken away."
A eunuch said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we should immediately order the city gates to be sealed and a city-wide search to be carried out."
The Prime Minister has always been by the emperor's side, and he has a clear view of the situation in the palace.
The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The prime minister took the order and hurried out of the palace, but when he left, he looked at the palace meaningfully.
At this moment, the Queen Mother suddenly screamed, stood up abruptly, pointed at the Emperor and cursed, "Is that bastard back? It must be him who did it! I told you to wipe out the roots, but look at you now, the entire palace has been emptied out! I don't think you can still be the Emperor!"
The emperor's expression instantly turned ugly. He glared at the queen mother and said coldly, "Mother, please stop talking. If we don't find him quickly, we're all doomed!"
"Mother, please contact my grandfather as soon as possible and hand over some silver."
"You...you unfilial son!"
The empress dowager was so angry that she was shaking all over and cursing at the emperor.
“That’s enough!”
The emperor roared and turned away.
The Queen Mother collapsed in her chair and sobbed.
Two palace maids hurried forward to comfort her.
A palace maid soothed her and whispered, "Empress Dowager, don't be too sad. His Majesty will definitely catch the murderer."
Another maidservant fanned the Queen Mother and said cautiously, "Yes, Queen Mother, you must take care of yourself."
The Queen Mother wiped the tears from her eyes.
The nanny who blessed her confidant said, "Hurry up and go to father's house to borrow some silver."
You can be angry, but how can people survive in such a huge palace without money?
"Bring all the concubines here quickly!"
She can't be the only one to bear the blame.
"They are all members of the royal family, and now is the time for them to share the royal family's worries."
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the nanny hurried out of the palace.
In the empty bedroom, the Queen Mother sat on the couch, staring blankly ahead with a bitter smile on her face.
Her thoughts gradually drifted away, as if she had returned to the scene when she first entered the palace.
At that time, she had just entered the palace and was arranged to live in this courtyard.
The room was empty, with only some simple furniture and a little palace maid accompanying her.
The late emperor had just ascended the throne at that time, and she was quickly promoted to a noble concubine due to her beauty.
Not long after, she gave birth to the third prince safely, and everything seemed so beautiful and full of hope.
However, as time went on, things changed...
She could no longer remember whether she had ever loved the late emperor.
Many fragments flashed through her mind, but she could no longer remember what she felt at that time?
Love? What does it feel like?
She has been obedient for ten years and has always remained in the position of imperial concubine.
