The butler mustered up his courage and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Grand Princess, the storeroom was robbed! All the valuables and shelves inside were taken away by the thieves, not even a strand of hair was left behind!"

Hearing this, the eldest princess was stunned at first, her face full of astonishment, and then she couldn't help laughing out of anger.

She widened her eyes and pointed at the housekeeper and shouted angrily.

"Good housekeeper, are you really senile and confused?"

"You even got the location of the warehouse wrong!"

"My storeroom was filled with items, but you said that everything was stolen, even the shelves were stolen."

"Humph! Tell me, who on earth is so powerful that he could steal all these things without anyone noticing? And how did he transport them away?"

Faced with the series of questions from the Grand Princess, the butler was speechless and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that I am really old and my memory is declining, so I remembered the wrong place?

No, we have been walking this road for more than ten years, how could there be any mistakes?

"Grand Princess, you should go and take a look yourself! This old servant is really..."

The eldest princess was eating with gusto, but her interest was abruptly interrupted by these words.

Her face suddenly turned gloomy and she threw the chopsticks in her hand heavily in displeasure.

"If you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of keeping you guys as your own? You're all good-for-nothings!"

After saying that, she stood up abruptly and strode towards the door angrily.

Upon seeing this, the nanny beside her hurriedly trotted over and deftly put the heavy cloak on the eldest princess.

Just like that, a group of people filed out and headed towards the warehouse in a mighty procession.

When they approached the warehouse door, they found that many guards had gathered there.

The butler was walking in front of the team and when he saw everyone gathered here, he immediately shouted in anger.

"What are you all doing here? Get out of the way!"

After hearing the order, the guards quickly stood on both sides, leaving a passage in the middle.

The eldest princess looked inside along the passage and saw that the warehouse was empty.

Her heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. Could something really have happened?

But she still didn't want to believe what she saw, so she subconsciously took a few steps back and looked around carefully.

That’s right! This is exactly where the warehouse is!

However, why has it become like this?

Where on earth have all those precious items in my storeroom gone?

Thinking of this, the eldest princess could no longer suppress her anxiety and anger, and rushed into the warehouse in two steps at a time.

Taking a closer look, the room was indeed as clean as if it had been completely looted, without even a hair left.

"puff!"

Along with this muffled sound, a stream of scarlet blood gushed out from the Grand Princess's pale lips like an arrow.

Her body was shaking violently, as if she was about to collapse like a candle in the wind.

The nanny nearby was stunned by the sudden scene before her.

But he quickly came to his senses, rushed forward, and held the eldest princess firmly, preventing her from falling to the ground in disgrace.

The eldest princess's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were lifeless, and she kept muttering to herself.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? Where did the things in my warehouse go..."

Her voice became weaker and weaker, filled with endless fear and despair.

"Who on earth has such omniscience that he could empty my warehouse overnight?"

"Those mountains of gold, silver, jewels, and priceless treasures have all disappeared..."

However, before she could finish her words, another mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing onto the ground in dots, forming a shocking picture.

Immediately afterwards, the eldest princess' eyes rolled back and she fainted completely.

In an instant, the originally quiet warehouse fell into chaos.

"Grand Princess, Grand Princess..."

Some people frantically pinched the eldest princess's philtrum, trying to wake her up;

Some rushed out in a hurry to find a doctor to treat them;

Some people also hurriedly ran to lift the sedan chair that had been prepared long ago, ready to send the eldest princess to her bedroom to rest.

Everyone scattered and did their own job. The whole scene was tense and busy.

At the same time, Eunuch Lin, who had come with the Grand Princess to oversee the progress of the matter, was waiting anxiously in the reception room with two young eunuchs.

They had been sitting here for a long time and the tea on the table had been changed twice, but the eldest princess still hadn't shown up.
