Chapter 203 The Emperor is Angry
The queen looked at her steadily and suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that after I kept it a secret for so many years, a little girl like you could see through it so easily."
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly. This queen was indeed not simple. She was wearing a mask and was wrapped very tightly, but she could still tell that she was a girl at a glance.
"Does the Queen want to make a deal with me?"
The queen looked at her with a smile on her face: "I like dealing with smart people the most." She stretched out her hand. Shang Ruoyi was stunned for a moment. The queen looked her up and down: "You have never served anyone?"
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I have never served anyone before." After she finished speaking, she helped the queen up.
The queen sat up straight and touched her swollen belly: "Is the child safe?"
"Since Your Majesty knows about witchcraft, your medical skills must be very superb." Shang Ruoyi brushed her sleeves and said, "Even if I were not here to remove the poison, you would wake up within a month." But the fetus in her belly might not survive.
The queen looked at her, a dark light flashed in her eyes: "I really can't underestimate you. You even know such things."
"It's just a guess, it doesn't count." Shang Ruoyi put her hand on her pulse: "Your Majesty is fine now, the dragon fetus in your belly is safe, and now the poison has been resolved, your Majesty can rest assured." She stood up and turned around to pack the medicine box. The queen looked at her back with murderous intent in her eyes. She was just about to take out the dagger under the pillow when she heard Shang Ruoyi say faintly: "Your Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness, so don't move too much to avoid getting hurt."
The queen's hands were squatting in the same place, she turned her head to look at her, and found that Shang Ruoyi didn't even look back, and was busy packing the medicine box.
"Who are you?" the queen said in a cold voice.
"My name is Lingjun, and I have just introduced myself." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "My queen, if you want to trade, you must show your sincerity. It's not good for you to try to hurt someone from behind."
Just then, there was a commotion outside. A smile appeared in Shang Ruoyi's eyes. Perhaps the matter of the private vault had been discovered.
As expected, a group of guards surrounded the entire Fengyi Palace.
"Go outside and see who's wrong." As soon as the queen finished speaking, the palace servant opened the door of the outer room: "Your Majesty, the commander of the imperial guards has been ordered to search for the thief."
"How dare you!" The head maid stepped forward and slapped the palace servant in the face. "The Queen is still ill, and you are so bold as to open the palace gate privately to let the guards in. I guess the Queen is too lenient on weekdays, and she has let you do whatever you want!"
The palace maid knelt on the ground and cried, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The queen looked at Shang Ruoyi and saw that his movements were still calm and unhurried, so she thought that the thief had nothing to do with him.
She coughed twice and said calmly: "Forget it, don't blame me. Just say that I am tired. There are no thieves in Fengyi Palace. Let them look for them somewhere else!"
"Yes."
When the commander of the imperial guards heard what the queen said, he wanted to leave, but then he remembered that the palace gate was tightly closed when he came in, and he might have already held the queen hostage.
He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am following the Emperor's order to search all the palaces. No place can be missed, otherwise I will not be able to report. I hope Your Majesty is weak, so I will just take a look and leave."
The queen frowned, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.
The head nanny walked into the inner room and said softly, "Madam."
"Change my clothes."
When the commander of the imperial guards came in, the queen was sitting in the main seat and Shang Ruoyi was standing below her.
"Lord Wen, you can send someone to search and see if there are any thieves in my Fengyi Palace." The Queen snorted coldly: "Besides me and the head nanny, there is only the divine doctor Lingjun who was invited by the Emperor for me in this palace."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I am just following your orders." Wen Gang said in a panic, "I have absolutely no intention of disrespecting your Majesty."
The head nanny stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "If you want to search the palace, hurry up. The queen has just recovered from a serious illness and can't be tired. Otherwise, if the emperor blames you, you won't be able to bear the consequences even if you have several heads."
"Yes, yes, I understand." He waved his hand, and the guards walked into the palace with long swords on their waists.
After searching, nothing was found.
Wen Gang had a flattering smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I have searched the Fengyi Palace and there are no thieves. You can rest assured."
"I have nothing to worry about. I'm afraid it's Master Wen who is worried." The Queen glanced at him and said, "If there is nothing wrong, I am tired."
When Wen Gang heard what the queen said, he hurriedly retreated with his men.
When they walked outside, the subordinate cried and said, "Sir, we have searched the entire palace, but there is no trace of the thief."
Of course they couldn't find it, after all, they had just left the thief.
At this time, in the Yangxin Palace.
Emperor Tianshun looked at his empty private treasury with anger.
The rare treasures that were originally placed inside, including gold and silver bricks, calligraphy and paintings, jade wares, as well as rare treasures tributed from other countries, oriental pearls, luminous pearls, and countless rare treasures, all disappeared.
If one wants to take the things in here away, it is impossible to do it without dozens of people. However, the palace is heavily guarded at all times, and it is impossible to take things away under their noses.
But now, all the treasures in the house have disappeared.
Emperor Tianshun managed to hold himself together and not fall down.
"Investigate! Investigate for me! No matter what method you use, you must catch the thieves for me. I will tear them into pieces!" His treasures! The treasures he had saved for so many years were stolen overnight. How could he accept it?
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Shangnian had said. The treasures in the storehouse of Prince Ding's palace disappeared mysteriously, and his concubine's daughter's dowry was also completely stolen. However, the boxes of gold and silver were still in the storehouse, but the boxes in his private storehouse that were used to store these treasures were gone.
Shang Ruoyi originally didn't want to leave the box behind, but before she left, she suddenly discovered that the boxes were inlaid with gold all around. It was worthy of being the emperor's private treasury, even the boxes were made of gold, so she simply took them away.
Each of those boxes weighed over a hundred kilograms. How was it possible for him to walk out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with the boxes in front of so many people?
"Your Majesty, no tunnels were found nearby, nor were any suspicious footprints found."
"Then tell me, where did all the treasures in this private storehouse go?" He slapped the table fiercely, sweeping the teacup on the table to the ground, and splashing the scalding hot tea on Wen Gang without a drop of it falling. "If you can't find it, you will come to me with your head!"
Wen Gang was horrified. This, this, this, let alone himself, even if all the masters of the Dali Temple worked together to investigate, there might not be a result. Now this task was given to him, isn't this asking for his life?
