Chapter 24 The Prince Naively Thought the National Treasury Was Still Waiting for Him to Inherit
Although the prince heard that his vault was placed under the bed, he was of noble status, so how could he condescend to crawl under the bed.
What a loss of face.
There is another reason. The emperor is dead. As the crown prince, he ascended the throne too late. The whole Daxing depends on him. If the treasury is gone, it's gone. The national treasury is full of treasures and money.
When the prince came back to his senses and heard the guards' anxious words, his first reaction was "No, it's impossible. The eaves are so high and the material is so hard, how could they be broken off?
The queen believed it, and combined the two things, she breathed out through her nostrils, her chest heaving, and glared at the guards: "You all fell asleep? My palace and bedroom have been emptied! Even the eaves have been removed! You bunch of idiots just discovered it now?"
The prince thought again and again, was the eaves of the palace demolished?
He ran out in a rage and said, "Who on earth is so bold as to dare to do such a thing! Mother, tell the guards to crawl under the bed, and I will go out and take a look!"
After saying this, he left the Queen's side and walked quickly towards the house.
The queen held herself up and watched him leave. She could only point at the guard who came in to report and ordered urgently, "You! Go and clear the way under the bed for me!"
Originally, this secret vault couldn't be known to anyone, but now that the emperor is dead and her son has taken the throne, she is the most powerful person in the entire harem!
Who dares to disrespect her!
Even the most favored royal concubine is dead, the biggest winner is her!
With this in mind, the queen felt more wanton.
"Bloody!" The guard was confused by the continuous news. He stared at the bedroom that had been moved and only the big bed was left. It took him a long time to find his voice. He stared with wide eyes and cried out:
"How come they are all gone! I was watching outside just now and didn't see anyone come in! They can't all disappear and I can't see them!"
The guard panicked.
The queen was furious, her well-kept face showing anger: "Make way for me right now! I'll settle accounts with you bastards who neglect your duties later!"
The guard rolled and crawled under the only big bed in the bedroom, and groped for a while before finding the way out.
The maids beside the queen were at a loss as to what to do and wanted to move a chair for the weak queen to sit on, but when they looked around, they found that the huge palace was deserted and there was not even a blanket. They could only carefully support the queen and dared not speak, for fear of saying something wrong and being implicated.
The bedroom is facing the side.
The prince ran to the gate and looked up at the roof of the palace. The moonlight was shining down, and the eight iconic gold-painted eaves were gone!
The missing piece looked like it had been forcibly torn off. It was ugly and unsightly, without any trace of its former splendor and nobility.
"Provocation! You are provoking me! How dare you! Who are you?" The prince kicked the door sill with his hand, pointed at the guards at the door, and angrily scolded: "You bunch of rubbish! So many things are missing and you don't even have the slightest warning? What's the use of you!"
The guards immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. They were also puzzled and cried out for injustice.
"Prince, please calm down. I really didn't see anyone appear! Dozens of eyes can testify to this!"
“Yes, no one saw it.”
"With so many things coming in and out, it's impossible not to see them!"
"I swear! I won't tell a single lie!"
"Your Highness is very perceptive! I don't even have the guts to do that!"
"It is really unfair that the prince is in such a lowly position!"
The prince also found it strange. Indeed, even if these guards had the courage, they would not dare to throw away so many things in the palace.
I can only go back to the bedroom and see if I can find any clues.
But the queen was sitting on the bed, with no manners at all.
The prince hurried forward to help her up, and kissed her gently to comfort her: "Mother, why are you sitting here? I will investigate this matter thoroughly, don't worry."
"Everything under the bed is gone, sob, sob..." The queen said that she had not been so sad even when the emperor died. This time she cried so hard that her face was covered with tears.
The prince's face darkened even more. Don't let him find this man, otherwise he will be cut into pieces!
"Mother, now is not the time to be sad about these things. The most important thing is to deal with the emperor's funeral."
The queen naturally understood what he meant. Keeping the throne in her hands was the key. She was still unhappy and wanted to explode.
She has ten thousand taels of gold and has signed contracts with many shops in the imperial city!
She sniffed bitterly. As long as she couldn't catch the thief, she couldn't get over the knot in her heart. She wiped her face with a handkerchief and said, "Then mother, go to the side hall of your palace and sleep there first. We'll find someone to relocate you tomorrow. Also, this matter must not be spread out. It will affect your future."
I'm afraid that someone will make a fuss about it.
녦놆How could the third prince, who is eyeing this opportunity covetously, let it go?
