Chapter 258 The Treasury Was Stolen
At the same time, the lights in the palace were brightly on, and the royal guards guarding outside the bedroom rushed in. Seeing that the emperor's bedroom had turned into a pile of ruins, they immediately became chaotic.
Mo Liyuan took her through the night and came to a place heavily guarded by the Royal Guards.
Looking at the heavily fortified fortifications ahead, a flicker of surprise flashed across Lan Xiyue's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by excitement. "This place is so heavily guarded, is it the national treasury?"
Mo Liyuan nodded. His Yue'er was very smart and guessed it right away.
"But the security here is so tight, how can we get in?" Even if she drugged them, she couldn't knock them all out at once.
Mo Liyuan raised an evil smile, took out a mask from his arms and put it on his face.
"Yue'er, wait for me here obediently."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and moved among the guards like a ghost. In just a cup of tea, all the guards guarding the treasury fell to the ground.
Lan Xiyue walked out from the darkness and couldn't help but praise in her heart: This guy's skills are really amazing, these guards are completely weak in front of him.
Mo Liyuan walked towards her, put his arm around her shoulders, and they walked towards the treasury gate together.
Lan Xiyue pulled out an exquisite hairpin from her head and said with a smile, "Leave this to me." As she spoke, she walked forward and fiddled with the lock for a few times. With a "click", the lock opened.
The door of the treasury was extremely heavy, and Lan Xiyue was unable to move it even a little bit despite trying her best.
Mo Liyuan walked forward and pushed hard with both hands. The heavy door finally opened slowly. The two walked in and looked at the mountains of gold, silver and treasures inside.
Lan Xiyue looked at so much gold that it almost blinded her. She liked it so much.
"Yuer, do you like it?" Mo Liyuan asked softly, with a hint of pampering in his eyes.
Lan Xiyue blinked, "What if I say I want all of these?"
Mo Liyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, his tone carrying a hint of teasing: "As long as Yue'er can take it away, then go ahead and take it."
When Lan Xiyue heard this, her mind flashed and she waved her sleeves lightly. Then, Mo Liyuan saw a magical scene that made him dumbfounded - those gold, silver and treasures seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly floating towards Lan Xiyue, and finally turned into a dazzling light and disappeared.
Mo Liyuan looked at Lan Xiyue. His Yue'er was really lucky. She actually had the legendary mustard seed space on her body.
Lan Xiyue pointed at the empty treasury and looked at Mo Liyuan, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Mo Liyuan looked at her and said seriously, "Yuer, you can't tell anyone about Jiezi Space, even your relatives. A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Do you understand?"
Lan Xiyue blinked, "Do you know about space?"
"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it."
Lan Xiyue waved her hand in front of him and said, "Here, this is the ring. It has a space inside and can hold a lot of things."
Mo Liyuan held her hand tightly, his eyes deep, "Is this the sacred object that Miaojiang has been searching for so long?"
Lan Xiyue curled her lips slightly, "Yeah, that's why the people from Miaojiang have been targeting me. But strangely enough, they haven't come to bother me these days."
Mo Liyuan slowly released her hand, a murderous look flashing in his eyes, "I will not allow the people from Miaojiang to harass Yue'er. I will arrange everything."
Lan Xiyue nodded. She was not afraid of the Miao people coming to find her, but she felt very sweet in her heart because she had someone protecting her.
The two smiled at each other, and then Mo Liyuan took Lan Xiyue and quietly left the palace.
At this time, the palace was in chaos as they were searching for the assassin.
They returned to the Lan Mansion. Mo Liyuan sent Lan Xiyue back to the attic and stood by her bed, gazing at her tenderly. "Yue'er, have a good rest. I'll be back when you fall asleep."
Lan Xiyue responded, closed her eyes, and fell asleep after a while.
Mo Liyuan looked at her face which gradually fell asleep, then he stood up and turned to leave.
The next morning, a layer of haze shrouded the court.
The emperor walked into the Golden Palace with a face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. All the civil and military officials in the court felt a tightness in their hearts.
"Last night, my bedroom was blown up and turned into ruins. The Royal Guards searched for the assassin all night, but they had no clues. They were all trash!" After the emperor finished speaking, there was an uproar in the court. The ministers looked at each other, secretly horrified.
Who dares to be so arrogant as to attack the emperor's bedroom?
"Fortunately, I rested in the Queen's Palace last night, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." There was a hint of fear in the emperor's words, but he could not hide his anger.
Lan Zhenrong was shocked when he heard this. Last night, the gate of his mansion had suffered the same misfortune, and now the emperor's bedroom had also been blown up. Could there be a connection between the two? A thought flashed through his mind, and his body involuntarily froze.
The emperor's face became even gloomier, as if a storm was about to come.
"Not only that, the national treasury was also stolen!" His words were like thunder, exploding in the court.
The ministers looked at each other, their hearts filled with even greater horror.
The Emperor thought bitterly, "Damn it! Mo Liyuan! Are you warning me like this just because I didn't immediately let you marry Lan Xiyue? In Dongyao Kingdom, who else could have such courage and ability besides Regent Mo Liyuan?"
The emperor's face was gloomy. "The Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, and the Shuntian Prefecture Government Office, all must investigate and recover the treasures from the national treasury. In addition, the President and Vice President of the Imperial Guard are incompetent and must be beaten to death!"
The ministers who were named had bitter expressions on their faces and said in unison: "Your Majesty, obey your command!"
The emperor stood up, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left with a gloomy face.
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Fu quickly announced loudly: "Dismiss the court!"
In the court, the ministers were full of doubts and talked a lot.
The ministers in the court also had some guesses in their minds, but no one dared to speak out loud, and they all dispersed.
