Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 459 Visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion at Night (1)
"Don't worry, I'm safe and sound." Xiao Qingyu looked at her worried gaze, a smile appeared in her deep eyes, Bai Yu gently stroked a strand of black hair from her temples behind her ears with her fingers, and said softly: "Get the Bauhinia fruit , let’s go back to Azure Dragon Country…”

"Okay." Mu Yutang nodded, King Yan needs bauhinia fruit to heal his wounds, the sooner they go back, the better.

"What's going on here?" The emperor's angry roar penetrated the clouds and resounded through the sky.

Mu Yutang blinked in confusion, and pulled Xiao Qingyu into the storeroom, passing over the corpses of skilled craftsmen, and came to the center of the storeroom, where there were large boxes on the ground, all the lids opened, rare treasures Glittering, dazzle the eye.

Two rows of tall nanmu frames stand against the wall, and there are neat nanmu boxes on the shelves. The names of medicinal materials are marked on the boxes. The fly in the ointment is that half of the nanmu frames are empty, which affects the whole beautiful...

The emperor looked at the half-empty nanmu frame with a gloomy and terrifying expression.

Zhao Hai stood aside and explained anxiously: "The medicinal materials on this shelf were put on by the eunuchs with their own eyes. The two shelves are absolutely full. How could there be half a shelf of medicinal materials missing?"

Less herbs!

Mu Yutang was startled, and quickly walked forward: "Is the Bauhinia fruit still there?"

Zhao Hai sighed heavily, pointed to a frame on the wooden frame and said: "The Bauhinia fruit is placed here..."

Following his direction, Mu Yutang saw the empty wooden frame, and frowned tightly. Xiao Qingyu worked hard to break the transformation mechanism, but unexpectedly the Bauhinia fruit disappeared: "This is not a sealed place. How could the medicinal materials be lost? Could it be that the medicinal materials were stolen before the mechanism deformed?"

"Absolutely impossible." Zhao Hai waved his hand and interrupted Mu Yutang's words, his eyes flickered with rare solemnity: "On the day the gunpowder exploded, the old slave also came in to place medicinal materials. any vacancies."

Mu Yutang frowned, and walked slowly to the nanmu frame. The surface of the light-colored frame was covered with a thick layer of dust, and a little boundary line could be vaguely seen between the edge and the middle of the frame. He narrowed his eyes: "Your Majesty, when was the last time a skilled craftsman broke the mechanism?"

The emperor sank for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Half a year ago."

Mu Yutang nodded, and her cold voice was slightly low: "The dust on the shelf has a clear dividing line, and the medicinal materials have been taken away for three or four months..."

The emperor's sharp eyes narrowed sharply: "You mean, three or four months ago, someone broke the transformation mechanism and sneaked in to steal the medicinal materials?"

"That's right." Mu Yutang nodded. At first she suspected that a skilled craftsman broke the mechanism, but concealed it and stole the medicinal materials quietly. It was later that someone sneaked in again. He was able to break the transformation mechanism silently, his ability was evident, and his attainments in mechanism art were not much worse than Xiao Qingyu's.

There are treasures everywhere in the warehouse, and any one of them is priceless. If he doesn't take this, he doesn't want that, but he just took away the medicinal materials including the redbud fruit. I really don't know what he wants to do...

A stern light flashed in the emperor's sharp eyes: "The imperial palace is heavily guarded, outsiders can't even think about sneaking in quietly, breaking the mechanism, stealing medicinal materials, and stealing medicinal materials, they must be house thieves..."

House thief!

Mu Yutang raised her eyebrows. Apart from the emperor, concubines, and underage princes in the palace, there are eunuchs and palace maids. Who is so capable of sneaking in here to steal medicinal materials?

"The house thief is in the harem!" The emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying, he waved his sleeves and strode out of the palace without looking back.

Mu Yutang raised her eyebrows, he was going to find a house thief!She also wanted to know who stole the Bauhinia fruit.

Mu Yutang followed the emperor to a palace, and looked at the three gold-plated characters of "Zhaoyang Palace" above the gate, she frowned lightly, the thief the emperor suspected was actually Empress Ye Ge!
"The concubine sees the emperor." Ye Ge wore a lake-blue palace attire and saluted the emperor gracefully, with a barely visible sneer on her lips reflecting the golden steps of Qionghua on her head, exuding a cold and aloof air.

"Pingshen." The emperor said lightly, looking straight into Ye Ge's eyes: "Age, I remember, you are proficient in formations."

"Returning to the emperor, the courtiers and concubines only know a little bit about how to fight, and they are not proficient." Ye Ge's clear voice did not carry any emotion.

The emperor looked at her, with a gloomy look in his sharp eyes: "Five years ago, the old warehouse was bombed, and I asked you to go inside to check it, but you said you couldn't break it."

"Returning to the emperor, those organs have been blown out of shape and are very dangerous. The concubine's ability is limited, so he dare not break them easily." Ye Ge's polite voice revealed an imperceptible indifference and alienation.

The emperor squinted at her, and the corner of his mouth curled up meaningfully: "Then you may break those traps now?"

Ye Ge smiled softly: "Back to the emperor, the ministers and concubines have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and they have not used the formations for a long time. The technology can only retreat. Five years ago, those transformation formations could not be broken, and now they cannot be broken."

"Really?" The emperor looked at Ye Ge's cold eyes, and the sharp pupils were cold: "Three months ago, someone sneaked into the old warehouse and stole the precious medicinal materials inside. What does Ah Ge think about this?" ?”

Ye Ge's complexion changed slightly, and a rare seriousness appeared in the bottom of his eyes: "The deformed mechanism is very dangerous. That person can enter and exit the old warehouse freely, and he has not been discovered by the Imperial Forest Army. He must be a master of formations, and his lightness kung fu is also unpredictable... ..."

A clear and faint voice came into his ears, the emperor raised his sword eyebrows, looked at Ye Ge, and said with a half-smile: "I remember, Ah Ge's lightness kung fu is also superb to the point where there is no trace of stepping on the snow, and there is no sound when touching things... "

Mu Yutang knew that Ye Ge was a heroine on the battlefield, with excellent martial arts and internal strength, but she did not expect that Ye Ge also possessed such unfathomable lightness skills.

"The emperor suspects that it is the concubine who sneaked into the warehouse and stole the medicinal materials." Ye Ge smiled softly, but his eyes were like a thousand years of ice that would never melt.

The emperor's eyes flickered unnaturally: "I don't doubt you, I just want to find out where those medicinal materials are going."

"The concubine understands that most of the concubines in the harem are delicate and weak beauties, and only the concubines understand formations, know how to do light work, and are the most suspicious thieves. Therefore, the emperor came out of the old warehouse and went straight to the Zhaoyang Palace. "Ye Ge looked at the emperor with sarcasm in the corners of his eyes and brows. Back then, she used this martial art to fight side by side with him, defeated the enemy together, and fell in love with him. Now, this martial art that killed countless enemies has become It was a great irony that he doubted her credentials.

"Since the emperor thinks that the concubine is suspicious, let's search the Zhaoyang Palace. If the missing medicinal materials are found, the concubine is willing to accept the punishment."

The women in the harem have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the palace they live in is their home. Searching the palace is searching their home, which is an expression of extreme distrust for them. What the emperor did was extremely disappointing.
