At this time, in the Western Region Palace.
The Emperor of the Western Regions sat on the dragon throne with a pale face.
Jun Yunting stood below, not daring to make a sound. The imperial study was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After a while, the Western Region Emperor said in a cold voice: "So, is our Western Region's treasury really empty?"
"Your Majesty, yes." The Minister of Revenue looked pale and said softly, "Today, the City Prince went to check and found no traces of the thieves. The things inside seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."
Disappeared out of thin air...
Upon hearing this, Prince Jun Yunting exclaimed, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could it disappear out of thin air? There must be something that they haven't found."
"Your Highness, the King of City went to investigate it personally." The implication was that if you don't believe it, just go and ask the King of City.
Jun Yunting's gaze fell on the face of the Emperor of the Western Regions, and seeing that his face was ashen, he dared not say anything.
"Your Majesty." The eunuch walked up to him and whispered, "Master Ji is here."
"You guys step back first!"
The Minister of Revenue hurriedly withdrew as if he had been pardoned. Jun Yunting looked at the back hall, frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he heard his father say in a deep voice: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"It's alright, I'll take my leave."
Jun Yunting retreated outside the palace, and Eunuch Zhao stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the palace gates are not locked yet, so you can still leave the palace now."
"No, let's go to Jinxiu Palace to see how our mother is doing."
He Jing walked out from the back hall and nodded slightly to the Western Region Emperor: "Your Majesty."
"Master!" The Western Region Emperor hurriedly stood up from the dragon throne and walked quickly to him: "The national treasury has been robbed, and the Western Region is in danger! Master, please give me some advice and save the Western Region from the dire situation!"
He Jing pretended to calculate and frowned, "Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. I calculated that there will be other misfortunes, in the northeast, near here."
What?
The Emperor of the Western Regions felt a slight tremor in his heart, northeast direction! My private vault is in the northeast!
He left the imperial study without caring about his image, came to the side hall, pushed the door open, and stood there in a daze.
No more! All gone!
The body fell backwards uncontrollably.
"My private treasury! My treasures!" After he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
He Jing looked at the empty hall, his heart beating fast.
Who is it?
Who did it?
First it was the Empress, then Imperial Concubine Xiao, and now both the national treasury and the Emperor's private treasury had been emptied. Most importantly, the thieves did not leave any trace at all.
It would be impossible to move so much stuff without alerting anyone.
At this moment, a stunningly beautiful face appeared in my mind.
Could it be her?
No, she couldn't do it even if she had the ability to do it.
So who could it be?
Shang Ruoyi had a great drink with her father and was a little drunk when she returned to the yard.
The temperature had warmed up by then, but there was still a slight breeze at night.
She had the space to protect her body, so she didn't feel cold. She sat on the reclining chair in the yard. A breeze blew, and the flowers on the peach tree in the yard fell down.
"What month is it now? Why have all the peach blossoms fallen?" Her eyes were hazy with drunkenness, and at this moment, a hint of the fragrance of black bamboo wafted into her nose.
She closed her eyes slightly and said with a smile, "How come the guards in this palace have become so poor? No one noticed when Lecher came in."
As soon as she finished speaking, a black robe covered her body and the strong scent of black bamboo surrounded her.
"You little ungrateful bastard, I came to see you and you called me a pervert."
She looked outside and saw the guards still standing outside the yard, but she knew that those people had long been replaced by Suzaku members.
"You are quite brave to sneak into the City Prince's Palace. Aren't you afraid that my father will find out and chop you to pieces?"
"Even if I have to eat it raw, I'm willing to do that." He Jingheng smiled and sat on the stone bench next to her: "You just said the peach blossoms have fallen, but you didn't even look at them. You've been gone for a long time."
Shang Ruoyi was slightly startled, her eyes fell on his face, and the corners of her lips curled up: "You say that, but you miss me?" She was wearing his black cloak, her porcelain-like skin was a little pink because of the wine, and her eyes were full of moisture, which made people fall in love with her at first sight.
Shang Ruoyi looked at him steadily. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol that made her bolder. She, who had originally avoided matters of love, wanted to test his feelings.
"Why don't you speak?"
"I never like to argue."
Shang Ruoyi felt a little disappointed and laughed at herself, "Yes!" If you don't even believe in so-called love, why are you asking such a stupid question?
Just as she was about to kick him out, she saw a handsome face enlarged in front of her eyes, and his slightly cool lips fell on her cherry lips.
In an instant, the sounds around her seemed to disappear, and she could only hear her own heartbeat, which suddenly became panicked, and another heartbeat that was faster than her own.
The owner of this voice is self-evident.
"There are some things I will only say once." He Jingheng's voice rang out from his ears: "In this life and forever, I will always be by your side. You are the only one I love and my only wife."
Shang Ruoyi listened to his words, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a secret joy slowly rose from the deepest part of her heart.
It was like a seed that took root in her heart, and now it had broken through the soil and grown into a tall tree.
"You said so."
"I said it." He Jingheng smiled and said, "I swear on my life, every word is sincere and I won't lie."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "In that case, I will trust you for now."
The guards standing outside the courtyard all watched their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, fearing that they would make any noise and disturb the Crown Prince's Consort.
"Someone is coming." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "If my brother saw this, he would probably destroy you to vent his hatred."
"I will have to see someone sooner or later. It's not like I am afraid of meeting people." He looked outside the yard and saw a man walking towards the yard.
"He Jingheng!" Jun Zegan's voice came with suppressed anger: "You are so bold that you actually come to the palace in my city, and..." His eyes fell on Shang Ruoyi, and seeing that she was wearing a man's robe, he knew who the owner of the robe was.
The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he said in a deep voice: "Can't our palace afford to buy clothes? We have to wear clothes of outsiders."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Of course I can afford the clothes." She said this, but she had no intention of returning the robe.
Jun Zegan's eyes twitched violently. This is exactly what it means when a girl grows up, she cannot be kept at home.
But then I thought, they are husband and wife, and I feel like an outsider.
"What are you guys doing? Outsiders have entered the princess's courtyard. Are you all blind? Can't you see?"
Hearing what he said, the guards standing there had a slightly bitter smile on their faces.
