The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone onto the streets of the capital, the news that the Prime Minister's Mansion had been looted was like a thunderclap, and the originally peaceful capital was instantly shrouded in a tense and solemn atmosphere.

The news spread quickly, as if overnight, the news of the theft of the Prime Minister's Mansion spread to every corner of the capital. People talked about it, some marveled at the thieves' courage and means, while others speculated that there might be a deeper conspiracy behind it.

Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, a crowd gathered and discussions arose. Some pointed at the empty mansion and shook their heads in admiration; others whispered, speculating that this incident might involve a power struggle in the court. There was an indescribable tension in the air, as if a storm was about to come.

The court was in uproar. As an important official, the theft of the prime minister's residence was undoubtedly a serious provocation to him and the court. The court immediately ordered to strengthen the security measures in the capital and sent a large number of people to track down the whereabouts of the thieves.

The major teahouses and restaurants in the capital also became popular places for people to discuss this matter. People sat together, sipping tea, eating snacks, and discussing this shocking theft. Various speculations and rumors were flying around, making the whole capital fall into an inexplicable excitement and tension.

The teahouse was filled with smoke. Several men were sitting at several tables. Their topic revolved around the theft in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A middle-aged man in a brocade robe spoke first, his voice filled with surprise and dissatisfaction: "Have you heard? The Prime Minister's Mansion was robbed! When did such a daring thief appear in the capital?"

Another burly man took over the conversation, his brows revealing a fierce look: "This thief is really cunning. He was able to steal so many treasures in the heavily guarded Prime Minister's Mansion. It's incredible."

The third man was a thin old man. He stroked his beard and squinted his eyes and said, "Humph, don't forget that this Prime Minister's Mansion is not an ordinary mansion. What is hidden inside is not only gold and silver treasures, but also many secrets of the court. This thief dared to act like this, I'm afraid there is a bigger force behind him supporting him."

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement: "My father-in-law is right. The theft of the Prime Minister's Mansion is no small matter. The court will definitely investigate this matter strictly, and it may even involve a series of major cases."

The burly man sneered, "Humph, it would be best if we could find out the truth and make the person behind this pay the price. Otherwise, the people of our capital will have to live in fear."

The thin old man shook his head and said, "Alas, the waters in the capital are very treacherous, and it is not so easy to find out. We ordinary people should just live our lives in peace and not get involved in the intrigues of the court."

Several people continued to discuss, and the atmosphere in the teahouse became increasingly heavy. The theft of the Prime Minister's Mansion not only plunged the capital into turmoil, but also made people begin to re-examine this seemingly peaceful but undercurrent capital.

In this way, the incident of the Prime Minister's Mansion being looted caused an uproar in the capital. It not only shocked the court, but also touched the hearts of the people in the entire capital. People are paying attention to the progress of this incident, looking forward to unveiling the truth as soon as possible.

It was still dark in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's wife Zhang Yunrong was awakened from her deep sleep by a terrified scream. She rubbed her hazy eyes and tried to see everything around her. However, everything in front of her made her wake up instantly. She was surprised to find that the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other valuable things in the house that usually shone brightly had disappeared without a trace. Even the furnishings in the house, those exquisite vases, elegant tables and chairs, were looted.

Zhang Yunrong felt dizzy and looked at all this in disbelief. She felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart. She hurriedly stood up and wanted to find the source of the sound to see what happened. She followed the guidance of the sound and came to her daughter Zuo Xinyi's boudoir.

Zuo Xinyi's boudoir was also ransacked. The dressing table that was originally filled with exquisite jewelry and silk brocade was now empty. The books, chess, calligraphy and painting tools that Zuo Xinyi loved so much were also turned into a mess.

Zhang Yunrong saw her daughter's terrified and helpless eyes, and a strong anger and sadness surged in her heart. She stepped forward and hugged Zuo Xinyi tightly, trying to comfort her daughter with her warmth and strength. She gently stroked Zuo Xinyi's head, trying to keep her tone calm: "Xinyi, don't be afraid, mother is here."

Zuo Xinyi's eyes were red and swollen, and tears were still falling. She snuggled in her mother's arms, her voice trembling: "Mom, all my things were stolen, what should I do?"

Zhang Yunrong took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound more resolute: "Xinyi, don't be afraid. This is only temporary. We will find those thieves and make them pay the price. Now, you have to be strong, we have to face this difficulty together."

Zuo Xinyi raised her head and looked at her mother with tears in her eyes: "Mom, I'm really scared. I never thought that something like this would happen to us."

Zhang Yunrong smiled and gently wiped the tears from her daughter's face with her sleeve: "Xinyi, remember, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face them bravely. We are a family, no matter what storms we encounter, we must get through it together."
