With a wave of his hand, he can conjure things away; with another wave, he can instantly kill so many guards.
Why not just wave your hand again and kill the prince consort and the princess?
Instead, they spared the life of the prince consort.
Moreover, it was the prince consort who was describing the characteristics of those people and how much gold and silver he had lost from beginning to end.
Moreover, according to the prince consort, he lost far too much gold and silver treasure, not just the enormous luminous pearl, which was priceless.
Moreover, they had indeed heard that there was an exceptionally large luminous pearl in the palace. This pearl was in the Empress's palace and was part of the Empress Dowager's dowry. Its preciousness was so great that it could be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled.
However, when they stormed the palace, they did not find the legendary luminous pearl.
Now, this legendary enormous luminous pearl has actually appeared in the princess's residence, and coincidentally, it was lost in the fire that broke out there.
I have a feeling there's something fishy going on here.
I wonder if my king knows about this.
Even during the subsequent search, they were somewhat distracted. In the process, some people did try to cause trouble, but they were caught by the Wu Clan, severely beaten, and thrown out.
I don't know who instructed these guards to hide in his ranks and cause trouble.
He had just confidently asserted that they were only conducting a routine inspection and would absolutely not engage in any shady dealings.
This slap in the face really hurts now.
And so the search ended hastily.
Although his men were beaten, he still had to apologize to the goddess!
Lin Ru waved at their departing figures with a mocking expression.
"Walk slowly."
"Welcome to come again next time!"
"Anyway, if you're upright, you have nothing to fear."
"I will not take your rudeness to heart."
"However, if I come again next time, I'm afraid I won't be as polite as I was this time."
Upon hearing this, the captain of the guards fled back to the palace and reported everything that had happened that day to the king.
Upon hearing the report from the guards below, the Marquis of Zhenxi's expression became inscrutable.
"You can go now. I understand about this."
The captain of the guards respectfully clasped his hands in greeting and said yes, then turned and hurried out the door.
However, before he could even step out the door, he heard the Marquis of Zhenxi inside loudly ordering, "Bring Princess Rou here to me."
In the end, no one knew what the father and daughter said, but they saw that the beloved Princess Rou actually ran out of the main hall!
The theft of the princess's residence was thus left unresolved in the open.
Lin Dayong spent the entire night filled with remorse. As soon as he regained consciousness, he kept muttering about the luminous pearl, so much so that when people around him asked him about it, he casually mentioned the luminous pearl.
It wasn't until Princess Rou came to him crying and complaining that he remembered this matter.
"Husband, why is Father so stingy? It's just a luminous pearl, why is he so furious? Besides, it doesn't matter who has it, it's just sitting there. It's just sitting there with them, and it's just sitting there with us, isn't it?"
"They actually called me over and gave me a good scolding over this trivial matter."
"I feel like my parents don't love me anymore."
How could they treat me like this?
"And they've put me under house arrest! Where am I supposed to be confined now? My princess dress is burned to a crisp, while those thieves are out there taking my money and living the high life. Why should I be confined?"
"And just now I asked my father to take out his thousand-year-old ginseng for you to use, but he refused. My father is really too stingy."
She cried as she spoke.
Lin Dayong knew that the Marquis of Zhenxi did not genuinely want to talk about his daughter, but rather used Princess Rou to warn him. Moreover, what they cared about was not the luminous pearl itself, but rather that he had concealed the news of the luminous pearl and used it himself.
If this were done in front of the real emperor, it would absolutely be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.
However, since the Marquis of Zhenxi still needs him, he spared his life.
If he really becomes the ruler of this world, he'll probably settle scores later...
The maidservant beside her whispered, "Your Highness, please calm down. Even if you don't think about others, you should think about the baby in your belly."
"The imperial physician just said not to let you overthink it."
"I was already frightened..."
Before the little maid could finish speaking, Princess Rou slapped her across the face.
"You have no right to speak."
"I've been bullied like this, can't I even cry if I want to?"
"Why can't I cry? I want to cry."
"If the child is gone, then so be it."
"Since I had this child, I can't eat this or that, I can't wear nice clothes, I can't move this or that, and I can't even go out."
"Now they won't even let you cry."
"Is there no justice left?"
"As expected, Father Emperor is bullying me. Even you little maids are all treating me differently based on who you are."
"You little slut, I'll beat you to death."
After Princess Rou finished speaking, she raised her hand to hit the little maid again. The little maid was obviously used to being hit, and when the princess raised her hand, she reflexively squatted down.
The anticipated pain did not fall on her head or her back.
Instead, a cry of pain was heard.
"ah……"
"My stomach hurts so much."
"My stomach..."
The maid looked up in alarm and saw the princess sitting in a chair, clutching her stomach in great pain, with her feet already soaked.
She rushed out, shouting, "Quickly, someone go and fetch the imperial physician! Her Highness the Princess has a stomachache!"
"Hurry up and send someone!"
Lin Dayong was trying to figure out how to salvage the situation, but before he could get anywhere, I heard a gasp from the side. He quickly propped himself up, trying to get out of bed to see what had happened, but the intense pain made him fall heavily back onto the bed.
"My husband, our child, our child will be alright, won't he?"
"My stomach hurts so much, am I going to die?"
Hearing the princess's shrill screams and smelling the blood in the air, Lin Dayong's heart skipped a beat. If anything happened to this child, her future would truly be over.
So he endured the pain and tried to get up from the bed, but before he could reach Princess Rou's side, he fell to the ground again.
