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

Feng Yanan was lying in her own boudoir at the moment, sleeping peacefully. The morning light from the window sprinkled in her exquisite boudoir, painting a peaceful and beautiful picture for her. She was lying on the bed, covered with a soft quilt, with a satisfied smile on her face, as if she was having a sweet dream.

She didn't care how fast, fiercely and shockingly the news about the theft of treasures from the Prime Minister's Mansion spread in the capital.

The news spread like wildfire in the capital, but it also accidentally reached the depths of the imperial palace. In the morning court, in the magnificent palace, the court officials were talking about it, and the theft in the prime minister's mansion became a hot topic among them.

The emperor sat on the high dragon throne, looking calm, but his eyes could hardly hide a trace of concern. The eunuch beside him lowered his eyes and waved the whisk in his hand gently, seeming to be surprised by this sudden incident.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's Mansion was robbed last night, and the news has spread all over the capital." A minister in purple court robes stepped out with a loud voice, breaking the discussion in the palace. He was Lin Shengyang, the Grand Tutor of Lin. Lin Shengyang's wife was Zuo Wenyuan's sister. Speaking of this, let's talk about the Zuo family. Zuo Wenyuan has three legitimate sisters. Empress Zuo Shihan is the eldest sister, and the second sister Zuo Xuemei is Lin Shengyang's wife. There is also a third sister Zuo Yuyan who is the wife of Wen Boqi, the Minister of Personnel. Zuo Wenxuan was born out of wedlock, and was not liked by these three sisters and one brother since childhood.

The emperor frowned slightly and motioned him to continue. Lin Shengyang continued: "Your Majesty, these thieves are so bold that they dare to rob the residence of an important official in the court. This matter is very serious. If these thieves are not arrested, they may sneak into the palace in the future."

As the minister finished speaking, the palace was filled with discussion again. The court officials were talking to each other, some with worried looks, and some with deep thoughts. The theft in the prime minister's residence was not only related to the prime minister's reputation, but also affected the nerves of the entire court.

Amidst the discussion, the emperor fell into deep thought. He knew that this news had not only reached the palace, but had also probably attracted the attention of various forces. He had to handle the matter carefully, both to find out the truth and to maintain the stability of the court.

However, he still had to ask Zuo Wenyuan whether his situation was really as serious as what was said outside.

He frowned and turned to Zuo Wenyuan: "Prime Minister, is this true? Was your mansion really robbed?"

Zuo Wenyuan had a trace of anxiety and uneasiness on his face. He knelt down to pay his respects, and reported in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty!"

Zuo Wenyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm down before he spoke slowly, "Something big did happen in my house last night. All the valuables in my house, big and small, were stolen."

The emperor frowned, with a flash of shock and anger in his eyes: "What? You said that no one, big or small, was spared?" The emperor was also very confused. There should be some noise. Didn't the Prime Minister's Mansion find out anything? And this is not something that can be done by one person.

"How could there be such a daring person who dared to steal in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

The Prime Minister lowered his head, his voice filled with helplessness: "Your Majesty, I am also deeply shocked and angry. My mansion is heavily guarded, and the people in the mansion are all people I have trusted for many years, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Prime Minister, since you said that everything was stolen, is there no movement in your house?"

Hearing this, Zuo Wenyuan's heart sank. Was the emperor doubting him? In fact, it was the emperor's fault for being so suspicious. After all, even Zuo Wenyuan didn't understand how those thieves came quietly and stole so many things and transported them away quietly.

Zuo Wenyuan could only shake his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, this matter also seems strange to me. I was busy with official duties last night and went to bed very late. I really didn't hear anything unusual. When I woke up today, I found that the mansion had been robbed."

The prime minister was an important official in the court. The theft in his mansion was not only an insult to him personally, but also a provocation to the court. He spoke slowly, with a firm voice: "Prime Minister, I will personally inquire about this matter, dispatch the Imperial Guards and officials from the Ministry of Justice to investigate with all our strength. We must recover the stolen property and severely punish the mastermind behind it."

The Prime Minister raised his head, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty is wise, and I am grateful. I will also fully cooperate with the investigation and find out the mastermind as soon as possible to maintain the peace of the court."

The emperor nodded, and his eyes turned to Yan Lingxiao who was sitting silently in the corner: "What do you think about this matter, King Zhan?"
