Concubine Han felt as if she was struck by lightning. How could such a strange thing happen?

She quickly stood up, and in a hurry and panic, she snatched the banknotes from Liu Shang's hand and the book from the housekeeper's hand.

Upon comparison, the face under the veil was pale. The person took a few steps back weakly and fell into the chair.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

This is exactly like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

She looked at Nanny Zhou, who was also horrified and spread her hands and shook her head desperately.

"Your Majesty, please trust me. I personally watched over the newly taken gold bricks and silver notes from the treasury and brought them here myself. No one else has ever handled them."

Not only that, after it was brought in, it was placed on the table, and everyone's behavior was under the watchful eyes of everyone. This time everyone kept a close eye on each other, and no one had the opportunity to do anything wrong.

If a bird passed by just now, it was only for a moment, and everyone's attention was diverted.

The more she thought about it, the more creepy Concubine Han felt. Her body began to tremble and she felt cold to the bones.

"The last batch of bounties was stolen and lost with you. You don't know where it is, and I can't find it either. I don't know why this new batch has the same number. I don't know when they did it."

Concubine Han spoke these words hysterically, her voice becoming hoarse and broken.

She just couldn't understand why the matter had to get stuck at this point and become entangled with the Loyalty Bureau when it was just a matter of killing Qiao Jianer.

She felt that there was a pair of hands in the dark, manipulating her, playing with her, and laughing at her.

She was angry and resentful, but she couldn't do anything to the other party.

But for the Zhongyi Bureau, the fact that the numbers matched made it even more certain that their employer had stolen the bounty.

It is said that the Zhongyi Bureau embezzled money, but it was actually the employer who broke his promise and stole the money after paying the reward.

The boomerang finally hit back into his body.

He even acted here, and acted so sincerely that he almost cursed and swore.

No matter how Concubine Han reacted, Liu Shang's face was as cold as ice.

"Since you have achieved this, there is no need for us to cooperate. From now on, our Loyalty Bureau will no longer accept your missions. Please seek other skilled personnel."

As he spoke, he looked like he was going to chase the customer away.

Although people who have been here have covered their faces, their voices and temperament will not change. Even if they come back in a different disguise next time, they can still be recognized.

Concubine Han was now full of confusion and fear. She was no longer thinking about taking Qiao Jianer's life. She felt that she was trapped in a nightmare and needed to calm down.

"Madame Zhou, let's go."

Nanny Zhou picked up the box and followed Concubine Han with her legs swaying.

The whole thing is so mysterious and it has a huge impact on people.

After the two of them left, Liu Shang sat on the armchair and took a sip of tea to suppress his anger.

"Master, something is wrong." The butler said from the side.

"Now that the facts are known, how can there be anything wrong?" Liu Shang snorted.

After all, he was in his early forties and had just taken over the position of Pavilion Master, while the housekeeper was already in his sixties.

The housekeeper said, "Based on my years of experience, I think if this is an act, it's too real. The fear on my employer's body seems to come from the very bones. I can feel the chill she radiates from a distance. I'm afraid there's something else going on."

Liu Shang recalled it and felt that the employer was really afraid and was trembling all over when he went out.

"So what do you think is going on?"

The butler leaned forward and lowered his voice, "It can only be explained by God's will. From now on, we will not touch any of Princess Feiluan's missions."

"This time, it was the employer who was unlucky, which means God gave us a chance, but it may not be the same next time."

Liu Shang pondered, "This Princess Feiluan is actually so amazing."

"Of course not. She achieved great military achievements when she was a teenager, and was promoted from a county lady to a princess. If she wasn't destined to be so, how could she be so dazzling?"

Qiao Jian'er listened to the two men praising her and touched her chin. It was quite interesting that they wanted to kill him half a month ago, but now they were praising her.

She went to Concubine Han's palace again.

The season is now transitioning to spring, and even though the weather has warmed up, Concubine Han feels cold all over.

She curled up on the couch, wrapped in several thick blankets, surrounded by a circle of stoves filled with charcoal.

Even so, Concubine Han was still complaining about the cold.

"It's cold, very cold. Turn up the heat and close those windows."

"Your Majesty, this charcoal fire is poisonous if it burns too much. You have to go outside to be safe. You can't close the window anymore." Madam Zhou said, and asked the servants to bring two stoves.

The servants in the palace were already sweating all over, their cheeks flushed, but Concubine Han had a pale face, like someone from another world.

"All of you get out, get out."

Concubine Han waved her hand and all the servants retreated.

Then Concubine Han extended her hand to Nanny Zhou, who quickly sat over and held her hand.

She was also very scared in her heart, but she was holding on just to take care of Concubine Han.

"Do you think Qiao Jian'er has turned into a ghost and is following us around, watching our every move?"

"My Lady, Qiao Jian'er is a living person, how could he be a ghost? Perhaps we were targeted by a powerful person who is quick and knows some unorthodox techniques, so he did this."

"Who could it be? Who could it be?" Concubine Han's teeth were chattering, her eyes were unfocused, she looked left and then right, her hair was disheveled and she looked like a mentally ill person.

"I have already sent someone to investigate. I must find out the result and report it to Your Majesty so that she can feel at ease."

"Result, will there be a result? This thing seems like it was done by a ghost." Concubine Han shuddered again as she said this.

Although she was terrified now, she was still mostly conscious and knew that nothing could be found out about this matter, after all, it was full of weirdness and strangeness.

It's not like she hadn't hired a killer to kill people before, and it always went smoothly. Unlike this time, everything was abnormal.

She thought of Qiao Lian'er and felt that this girl was also the incarnation of a ghost, or she was possessed by something.

The eldest prince's plan was so perfect, but it fell into her trap. This time, she felt the impact of this mysterious failure even more deeply.

At this time, a eunuch hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is coming this way."
