Bringing love across time and space

Chapter 18 The Prime Minister's Mansion Was Also Stolen

After a moment of peace, a palace maid, dressed in a crimson purple palace skirt and a jade hairpin with flowers in her hair, walked into the imperial study in a panic.

Although her steps were fast, she did not lose the etiquette of the palace. The moment she knelt on the ground, a clear voice echoed in the empty hall: "Reporting to the emperor, the queen's private vault has been stolen!"

This news came like a bolt from the blue, instantly making the originally peaceful atmosphere in the palace tense.

Emperor Yuan Jin sat on the dragon throne, his originally calm face now showing anger.

The Queen's private vault is the most secret place in the palace. Someone actually managed to sneak in and steal treasures. This is simply a provocation to the dignity of the royal family.

There was a flash of anger in Emperor Yuan Jin's eyes, and his brows were filled with the depression before the storm.

However, at this moment, another round of footsteps sounded, more rapid and more flustered.

The maid in the Empress Dowager's palace also hurried over. Her face was pale, and it was obvious that she was extremely frightened.

The maid in the Empress Dowager's palace knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's private vault has been robbed!"

Emperor Yuan Jin said to the sky, "Go and check my private vault." Soon someone came to report, "Your Majesty, your private vault has also been stolen."

This news was like adding insult to injury, and Emperor Yuan Jin could no longer remain calm.

He felt dizzy, his body shook involuntarily a few times, and finally he fell weakly on the dragon throne.

Anger and resentment intertwined in his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became oppressive and heavy. The news of Emperor Yuan Jin's fall spread quickly, and the palace people were panicked, but they did not dare to make a loud noise.

For a moment, the entire palace fell into silence.

Emperor Yuan Jin was filled with mixed emotions. The theft of the Empress and the Queen Mother's private vaults was not only a challenge to his personal authority, but also a trampling on the dignity of the entire royal family.

He felt angry, unwilling, and even more so, a deep sense of powerlessness.

How could he tolerate the fact that he was the ruler of the world but could not protect his queen and mother?

However, the emperor also knew that he could not fall down at this moment. He was the pillar of the royal family, and he had to cheer up.

Find out the truth, recover the stolen items, give an explanation to the Queen and the Queen Mother, and also to the people of the world.

The emperor stood up slowly, anger flashing in his eyes. He glanced at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, took a deep breath,

He said in a deep voice: "Pass the order to seal off the entire palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Immediately mobilize the imperial guards and search every corner. We must find the trace of the thief!"

Although his voice was low, it was full of unquestionable majesty.

When the maid heard the order, she immediately stood up and hurriedly left the hall. The emperor stood there with a deep look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, the palace is no longer the peaceful and harmonious place it used to be.

Thieves may be hiding in every corner and every door.

Emperor Yuan Jin led the Imperial Guards and began a search operation of unprecedented scale.

As time went on, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense.

The Royal Guards shuttled between palaces, carefully searching every corner.

The emperor personally led a team of elite guards and went deep into every corner of the palace. In the end, he found nothing!

Back to this morning, the early morning tranquility of the Prime Minister's Mansion was broken by hurried footsteps and panicked shouts.

Prime Minister Lin Hai had just woken up from his sleep. He was not yet fully awake, and his brows were slightly frowned, looking out the window unhappily.

At this moment, the housekeeper rushed into the room and shouted in a trembling voice:

"Oh no, oh no, sir, the warehouse has been robbed!"

Lin Hai raised his eyebrows, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He asked in a deep voice: "What are you shouting about? What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

The butler took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and began to narrate what had happened.

It turned out that in the early morning, when the guards were changing shifts, the guards on duty discovered that

The two companions behind the warehouse were found dead on the spot.

Their necks were cut cleanly, and the ground was stained with blood.

This scene terrified everyone and no one dared to be negligent.

Then they found the warehouse window open and empty.

All the treasures and valuables disappeared without a trace.

After listening to the housekeeper's narration, Lin Hai's eyes flashed with shock and anger.

He stood up and walked towards the storeroom with steady steps. Along the way, his heart was filled with doubts and puzzles.

The patrol measures of the Prime Minister's Mansion have always been strict. How could someone sneak into the warehouse so easily?

He stole all the property and even killed two guards in public?

When he arrived in front of the warehouse, the scene before him made him gasp.

The windows of the storehouse were open, as if showing its emptiness to the world.

The guards outside the door looked solemn, some bowed their heads in deep thought, some whispered to each other,

Everyone was obviously talking about this bizarre theft.

Lin Hai took a deep breath and walked into the warehouse. His eyes swept across the empty warehouse.

I couldn't help but feel an indescribable anger and loss in my heart.

These treasures not only represent the wealth and status of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also his years of hard work and accumulation.

Now, they disappeared overnight. How could he not feel heartbroken and angry?

He turned and looked at the butler and guards behind him.

He said in a deep voice: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated! I want to know who dared to commit such a crime in my Prime Minister's Mansion!

At the same time, we will strengthen patrols in the prefecture and never let such incidents happen again!"

The butlers and guards nodded in agreement, as they knew the Prime Minister's majesty.

This theft is not only a serious provocation to the security of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also a challenge to the Prime Minister's authority.

They must go all out to solve the case as quickly as possible to save face for the Prime Minister and recover the losses for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister sat in the quiet study, his desk piled with complicated official documents and memorials.

His eyes were deep, like a deep lake, and there was a hint of anger in them.

It cast a mottled shadow on his face, adding a sense of calmness and majesty.

He was calmly sorting out the clues of the theft in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

Just as the Prime Minister was lost in thought, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the study.

He frowned slightly, but did not look up, just quietly waiting for the arrival of the visitor.

In a moment, a maid rushed into the study, panting. Her face was pale, and she was obviously frightened.

"My lord, something bad has happened!" The maid's voice was trembling, as if she would burst into tears at any moment, "The Madam's private vault was also stolen!"

The Prime Minister's brows were furrowed. He finally raised his head and his eyes shot towards the maid like lightning.

Although his voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty: "Tell me slowly, what's going on?"

The maid took a deep breath, tried to calm herself, and began to describe in detail how the lady's private vault was stolen.

It turned out that this morning, the lady suddenly wanted to go to the private vault in her room.

When they arrived at the private vault, they found that the treasures and gold and silver in the vault were missing.

She panicked and immediately ordered people to search everywhere, but found nothing.

In desperation, she had to send someone to report to the Prime Minister.

After listening to the maid's narration, the Prime Minister couldn't help feeling inexplicably irritated.

The storehouse and the wife's private storehouse were robbed one after another.
