Bringing love across time and space
Chapter 17 Everything Was Stolen
The eunuch knelt before Emperor Yuan Jin.
She reported in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, just now Concubine Xi sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to look for the imperial physician, but when the person arrived at the Imperial Hospital, the doors and windows were closed. Later, someone opened the doors and windows.
However, he unexpectedly discovered that the Imperial Hospital was in a mess, without even a chair left.
The imperial doctors and the people from the imperial pharmacy disappeared and were later found in a room in a side hall. When they were found, they were still sleeping and were later woken up by someone splashing water on them.
When they woke up, they didn’t know what happened.”
When Emperor Yuan Jin heard this, his expression suddenly changed. A trace of anger and doubt flashed in his eyes.
It seemed as if he couldn't believe that such an absurd thing would happen in his own palace.
He asked in a deep voice: "Is this true? Can you find out who did it?"
The eunuch bowed his head and replied, “Your Majesty, the identity of the thief has not yet been discovered.
The Imperial Medical Service and the Imperial Pharmacy were heavily guarded, making it difficult for ordinary people to sneak in.
Moreover, the thieves were so skilled that they were able to steal all the precious medicinal materials without alerting the guards.
There may be something complicated behind this matter.”
Gu Yuchen hurried to Ronghua Palace, his heart full of worry.
He heard that Lin Qingya left alone and was afraid that she might encounter something unexpected in the deep palace.
However, when he arrived near the palace gate, he saw a surprising scene.
Lin Qingya was chatting and laughing with the third prince, and they seemed to be getting along very well.
Gu Yuchen's anger was instantly ignited, and an indescribable rage surged in his heart.
He said to the Third Prince in a bad tone: "You don't care about your job, but just smile and laugh."
The Third Prince was surprised when he heard this. He quickly explained, "Uncle, I am always strict with myself and never smile."
Gu Yuchen couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw the nervous look of the Third Prince.
He had already seen the Third Prince's feelings for Lin Qingya, which made him even more annoyed.
He used to have a good impression of the third prince, but now he just can't stand him anymore.
His hand suddenly rested on Lin Qingya's shoulder and he pulled her closer to him.
This move was undoubtedly a declaration of sovereignty to the Third Prince. He said to Lin Qingya gently and considerately: "My beloved, do not wander around the palace without me by your side in the future."
His voice was full of magnetism, and the doting smile he gave Lin Qingya made Lin Qingya's heart beat faster.
Lin Qingya was bewildered by Gu Yuchen's smile. She looked at the man infatuatedly, feeling an inexplicable joy in her heart.
The man had such a good smile that she couldn't help but fall into it.
However, Gu Yuchen was very pleased with Lin Qingya's infatuation.
He had never been so satisfied with his appearance. At this moment, he seemed like a winner, enjoying the fruits of victory.
The third prince watched their interaction and felt a bitter feeling in his heart.
He forced a smile at Gu Yuchen and said, "Uncle, aunt, it's getting late. I'll take my leave now." After that, he turned and left, his back looking a little lonely.
Gu Yuchen waved his hand and pulled Lin Qingya towards the carriage. Their figures gradually moved away and disappeared at the end of the palace gate.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Gu Yuchen's expression suddenly changed. He shook Lin Qingya's hand away with all his strength.
Lin Qingya was startled. She looked at Gu Yuchen's gloomy face and cursed in her heart: "How can a proud man be so perverted!"
Lin Qingya sat in the car and ignored Gu Yuchen. She was full of doubts and dissatisfaction, and didn't understand why Gu Yuchen suddenly became so strange.
Gu Yuchen ignored her and sat aside, thinking about his problems with a gloomy face.
The carriage moved slowly forward in the night, but the mood of the two men was as heavy as the night.
The relationship between them seemed to become more complicated and subtle because of this misunderstanding.
Emperor Yuan Jin fell into deep thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the dragon throne, making a crisp sound.
He knew that this theft was not as simple as it seemed.
The thefts in the Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial Pharmacy not only meant the paralysis of the palace's medical services, but could also affect the safety of the entire palace.
Emperor Yuan Jin took a deep breath and said to the eunuch: "Pass the order to strengthen the guard of the palace.
The thieves must be arrested and brought to justice. At the same time, order people to repair the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy as soon as possible to ensure the normal operation of the palace."
The eunuch took the order and left, but there was confusion in Emperor Yuan Jin's eyes.
He knew that this theft was not only a challenge to the security of the palace, but also a provocation to his authority as emperor.
He had to deal with this matter quickly.
As the eunuch hurried away, the palace gate slowly opened again.
A general of the Imperial Guards came in, his face solemn and his steps heavy.
Every step seemed to carry a heavy burden. His voice was low and firm.
Echoing in the empty hall: "Your Majesty, the treasury has been robbed."
It turned out that the imperial guards on duty last night knocked Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya unconscious and carried them to a secluded place.
The Imperial Guards who went there this morning did not find them. At this time, the effect of the sleeping pills that the Imperial Guards had taken last night had just worn off, and everyone discovered that the national treasury had been stolen.
These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the tranquility of the palace.
Emperor Yuan Jin's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes, which had once been calm and steady, were now flashing with thunderous anger.
His brows were furrowed as if they could hold a sharp sword, and his lips were tightly closed as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
The Imperial Medical Office was robbed, the Imperial Pharmacy was robbed, and even the national treasury was robbed!
This series of thefts, like invisible chains, tightly bound the emperor's heart.
He felt an unprecedented sense of frustration. How on earth did these royal guards guard the palace?
Emperor Yuan Jin stood up, strode to the window, pushed it open, and the cold wind whistled in, blowing away the dullness in the room.
He looked towards the palace in the night, confusion in his eyes.
He knew that he couldn't panic at this moment and had to stay calm in order to deal with the crisis at hand.
He turned and walked back to the dragon throne, sat down, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner anger.
He knew that the most important thing now was to find the stolen items and save the palace's reputation and losses.
He looked up at the general of the Imperial Guards and said in a cold and firm voice: "Immediately find out the cause of the theft. I want to know the truth!"
The general bowed his head and accepted the order, then turned and left. The emperor looked out the window again. The night was still dark, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes!
This was no ordinary theft, but a shocking series of thefts.
The once solemn and majestic Imperial Hospital has now become an easy target for thieves.
The precious medicinal materials and secret recipes of elixirs in the imperial pharmacy disappeared without a trace.
What is even more shocking is that the country’s financial powerhouse, the treasury, was not spared.
A large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and important national policy documents were stolen, which made people in the court panic.
The occurrence of this series of thefts is undoubtedly a great provocation to royal dignity and national security.
They are not just material losses, but also a violation of imperial power and the dignity of the legal system.
What kind of conspiracy and motives are hidden behind these theft cases?
