Chapter 358 The Fake Daughter Whose Body Was Taken Over by the Heroine 19
Zhang Defu knelt on the ground, his fat body trembling: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The emperor felt relieved. He knew that Zhang Defu was not a reckless person, otherwise he would not have stayed by his side for more than ten years.
"Tell me, what's wrong? I asked you to go to the private vault to get something. Where is it?"
Zhang Defu shuddered, swallowed, and stammered, "Your Majesty, the things in the private vault are gone, all gone!"
"W-what?"
The emperor stood up suddenly, thinking that he had misheard, and stared at Zhang Defu in disbelief!
Zhang Defu said with a bitter face: "I opened the private vault and found that it was completely emptied!" Not even a thread was left.
The emperor still didn't believe it. He had opened his private warehouse yesterday, and today he was told that everything in the private warehouse had disappeared?
Who is so bold?
When he hurried to the private treasury with a group of palace servants and saw the empty private treasury with his own eyes, he felt a darkness before his eyes.
Zhang Defu, who was always paying attention to his reaction, supported him in time.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?"
The emperor panted heavily and roared, "Go, go and call the commander of the imperial guards to me, as well as Gu Jiu and Xiao Su, call them back to me!"
Xiao Su and Gu Jiu, who had not yet left the palace, were called back to the imperial study by the panting eunuch.
The two men looked at the furious emperor and regretted that they had not walked faster, otherwise they would not have walked directly into the muzzle of the gun.
The commander of the Yulin Army felt as if he was on the edge of an abyss, sweating profusely. He felt that he might die here!
His wife had just given birth to a big fat boy, and he hadn't even had time to kiss him. He hadn't even had time to buy the candy figurine his daughter wanted...
The commander of the Yulin Army knelt on the ground with his limbs prostrated, shouting: Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please forgive me, but his mind was working frantically.
I was thinking about whether I could think of a way to leave a few last words for my wife and children after I was dragged away.
The emperor was so angry that his chest heaved violently, his eyes burning with rage, and he threw everything on the dragon table to the ground, scaring everyone present to kneel on the ground.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Father, calm down!"
The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince were regretting their decision so much now. Why didn't they listen to their mother and go back to rest?
Not only will you not get any benefits, you might even be blamed!
The emperor's eyes darkened. "Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down? I've raised you, the Imperial Guards, to guard the Imperial Palace, and this is how you guard me?"
"The thieves have come to this palace and have emptied my private vaults. Didn't you, the Yulin Army, notice anything?"
"If this thief wants my head, won't you find out after I'm dead?"
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I give you three days to find those thieves, or you will be beheaded!"
When Chen Hai, commander of the Imperial Guards, heard the emperor ask them to find the thief within three days, he had only one thought in his mind.
That is: I won’t die today?
Has the emperor changed his personality?
No matter what the reason is, it is a good thing that I don’t die today. I should thank the Lord for his grace!
After leaving the palace, he would go back home to hug his plump wife, fat son, and daughter.
As for finding the thief within three days, this difficult task is not only impossible for him to complete, but also probably impossible for the two people kneeling beside him.
He should go home and leave his last words first!
Gu Jiu and Xiao Su felt bitter. They had been officials for so many years and had never encountered such an incredible thing.
Shouldn't they go home and say goodbye to their families before leaving the palace?
At this moment, the three people who had been given military orders by the emperor reached an unprecedented consensus in their thoughts.
After the emperor got angry, he waved his hand and told the three people to get out!
Whenever he thought about how someone had quietly emptied his private vault under the noses of so many Yulin soldiers and secret guards last night, he couldn't help but feel scared!
This group of people is more unpredictable than he expected. This time they robbed his private treasury, what about next time?
No, it’s not enough to just strengthen the defense of the palace. We have to make more preparations. He will be uneasy until the thief is found.
Su Jue also heard about what happened in the capital in the military camp.
Just as he was discussing military affairs with his deputy general, the eunuch came to summon him to the palace.
Su Jue went to the imperial study to see the emperor. Just as he was about to kneel down to salute, the emperor quickly supported him.
The emperor smiled amiably and said, "My dear minister, there is no need for such formalities. Come, my dear minister, take a seat!"
Su Jue raised his eyebrows slightly. The last time the emperor was so polite to him was five years ago when there was an invasion on the border and the emperor saw him off!
Although the emperor said there was no need to be so polite, Su Jue had to follow the rules.
He still bowed respectfully to the emperor and said solemnly, "Properties must not be abandoned. Your Majesty summoned me to the palace, but what is the matter?"
The emperor was very pleased with his action and told Su Jue everything that had happened today. Finally, he said with a face full of trust: "My dear, you are the person I trust most. I will leave the safety of the palace and myself in your hands!"
The emperor looked at Su Jue with eyes full of relief and trust, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
He recalled Su Jue from the border because he was worried that his achievements would surpass his master's, and he planned to find an opportunity to eliminate this hidden danger.
Now plans cannot keep up with changes, and he has to let go of the person he originally wanted to get rid of for the time being.
Fortunately, he has not found an opportunity to attack Su Jue, otherwise he really can't find anyone who can make him feel more at ease than Su Jue at this time!
Su Jue keenly noticed that the emperor's attitude towards him had changed, but he didn't take it to heart.
Although his Su family has been loyal for generations, they are not loyal to the emperor.
They are loyal to the common people of Longyuan Kingdom.
As long as the emperor is not too incompetent, the person on the throne will not change.
Although the emperor had issued a gag order regarding the theft from his private treasury, the news still spread like wildfire and became known to everyone.
This made people in Beijing drop their jaws!
Awesome!
This thief was not only able to empty the prince's mansion, but was also able to steal the emperor's private treasury quietly while the palace was on guard?
With this ability, if they want to marry the emperor... I dare not even think about it!
The successive thefts in the emperor's private treasury and the prince's palace caused a huge uproar in the capital.
Compared to the simple gossip and curiosity of ordinary people, the nobles and wealthy families were more worried and strengthened the defenses in their homes.
I was afraid that when I woke up, everyone in my family would be sleeping on the floor and there would be nothing left in the house!
The General's Mansion also strengthened its defenses. Su Li saw it and felt a little guilty!
She really didn't expect that a sudden impulse would make these nobles so nervous!
Then he thought of the royal father and son who looked like they were facing a great enemy, and the guilt that was not even as thick as a hair disappeared without a trace.
As for strengthening the security of the General's Mansion, that's a good thing. It can prevent some scoundrels from sneaking in!
