Xue Mansion

The next morning, some servants in the Xue Mansion got up, washed and dressed, and prepared to start their day's work.

When the servants in the dining room came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, they found that the huge kitchen was empty and were so shocked that they couldn't speak! What was going on? "It's terrible, it's terrible..." They had to report to the lady as soon as possible. Because Ouyang Yunyao didn't go to the servants' room to search, the servants inhaled less drugs, so they woke up earlier.

A female steward in the kitchen hurried to the lady's yard, ready to report everything to her. She found that the yard was terribly quiet, the lady's door was wide open, and there was no maid, which was very strange. When she entered the room, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. All the items in the room were gone, leaving only the personal maid lying on the couch in the outer room with her clothes on, and the lady lying on the bed in the inner room, seeming to be sleeping very deeply.

"Did we encounter a bandit?" the manager muttered in fear.

The house was emptied overnight. If the masters woke up, they would definitely take it out on her. She might even be beaten to death. Thinking of this, she trotted back to her yard and quickly packed up her belongings. Seeing this, the other servants in the kitchen also followed suit and started packing up.

"The Xue family never treats us servants as human beings. When the masters wake up, they will definitely be angry with us. We had better pack up now and run away first." They also hoped that their indentures would be stolen along with the treasures.

The unconscious guards in the yard gradually woke up. They saw that the granaries and storehouses they were guarding were empty, and they were very scared. They joined the army of people fleeing because they knew that they would surely die if they stayed. They would die anyway, and maybe they could survive by running away.

Since the master and his wife and the eldest son inhaled the largest amount of drugs, they woke up the latest.

Prime Minister Xue had stayed at a concubine's house last night. When he woke up, he saw that the room had been ransacked. He was terrified and ran to his study room staggeringly as if struck by lightning.

Xue Xiang came to the study and saw the same scene. He felt something was wrong! He quickly opened the door of the secret room and saw that there was nothing in the secret room. He staggered and could no longer bear the blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell in the secret room.

Mrs. Xue woke up in her bedroom and saw that the house was empty. Where was I? Was this my room? Where were all my things?

Her personal maid and old women stood blankly in front of her bed and at the door, not knowing what was going on and how everything in the room could have disappeared overnight.

Mrs. Xue, who was stunned for a few breaths, came back to her senses and said, "Ah!..." She let out a shocking roar and said to the maids and the old women, "What happened? Go find the master quickly."

A maid standing at the door said tremblingly, "Madam... the whole house was robbed. I heard... I heard... the master's study was also robbed."

"What? Come on, help me up." She staggered and rolled under the bed. She didn't care about her disheveled clothes and messy hair, she got up and stumbled towards the warehouse.

The warehouse door was wide open and there was no guard at the door. Suddenly, a bad premonition came to my mind. "Ah" a scream was accompanied by the sound of someone falling to the ground.

The maid who followed behind quickly helped her up, and after half an incense stick, Mrs. Xue woke up. She looked so pale that she could not believe that the scene before her eyes was real...

At this moment, Xue Jianming, the eldest son of Prime Minister Xue, was awakened from the arms of his concubine by his men.

"Hmm? Are you going to court?"

"Sir, it's past the court time."

"Then why did you call me master now? Don't you want to live anymore?" Xue Jianming half-closed his eyes, unwilling to wake up from the gentle land.

"Master, it's not like that... I just... woke up... Everyone in the yard... is... knocked unconscious..." His men were a little scared and whispered intermittently.

"What did you say?" Xue Jianming didn't quite believe it. "Go and get me my court robes."

"Master...Master, there is no more..."

"What do you mean it's gone? I asked you to bring the clothes, are you stupid?"

Because Ouyang Yunyao was afraid of seeing something eye-catching, she left the bed and bed curtains in the room last night, so he didn't notice anything unusual in the room.

His subordinates said with gritted teeth, "Master... all the items in the mansion... were stolen, and your court robes... were also missing."

"What?" Xue Jianming woke up instantly and jumped off the bed half-naked.

The concubine beside him also woke up and said, "Master, what are you doing..." She lifted the curtain and saw the empty room, "Ah..."

Xue Jianming didn't care about his concubine beside him, rushed out of the room, and found that his study was also empty... He didn't have time to think, and ran to the rockery in his yard. He turned a small stone, "pop..." The secret room in the rockery was opened. Fortunately, fortunately, his small treasury was still there. This was a secret room he secretly built without telling his father, hiding some money.

Last night, because Ouyang Yunyao was in too much of a hurry and was not familiar with Xue Xiang's residence, this place became the only one that slipped through the net.

The cunning and treacherous Prime Minister Xue also woke up in the secret room. As expected of someone who had experienced many storms, he calmly said, "Report to the Dali Temple"...

Yu Palace

Princess Song Qing of Prince Yu was awakened by her maid and looked at the empty room in confusion. "What's going on? What happened? Where are the things in the room?"

Her personal maid Mo Hua quickly said, "Princess, everything in the courtyard has been stolen."

"Stolen? When? How come no one knows about it?" Song Qing was not defeated by the situation.

"Princess, it was night time, and the servants were all knocked unconscious."

She also felt her body heavy and a little dizzy, as if she had been drugged.

"Does the prince know?"

"Princess, I don't know yet. We servants have just woken up, and He Xiang has already gone to find the prince."

"Princess, Princess...something's wrong...something's wrong!" He Xiang ran in breathlessly and said.

"How unbecoming you are in a panic!"

"Princess, the entire... the entire palace... was robbed."

"Explain clearly, what do you mean the entire palace was robbed?" Song Qing, who was always calm, gradually became confused at this time.

She hastily straightened her clothes and hurried to Prince Yu's courtyard. Every courtyard and every room she passed by seemed like a newly built empty house, with nothing in it.

She stepped into Prince Yu's courtyard, but did not see Prince Yu. A bad premonition flashed through her mind. Where is the prince? Did he go to court? "Princess, the prince is in the storehouse!"

She rushed to the warehouse again and saw Chu Chenyu being carried out by two guards. "Princess."

"What's wrong with the prince? What happened?" She had lost her composure.

"My Lord...My Lord has fainted."

After a while, Chu Chenyu, who was carried out, gradually woke up and said weakly, "Go... report... to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion..."
