It's not that no one suspected them, but the emperor had great confidence in his men and felt that the general's palace was surrounded by water and had no chance to do anything.
Probably because they were too shocked, they never thought for a moment that so many things were stolen during the night, and it was impossible for them to be caused by humans.
The eldest princess didn't sleep all night and asked her men to search continuously, but they couldn't find any trace of the suspect.
She was absolutely pissed off.
"No, I can't bear this tone. I will enter the palace immediately to meet the emperor!"
The guards next to him were hesitant. Before the new emperor ascended the throne, he obeyed the eldest princess's words, but after he ascended the throne, he became obviously distant. He even issued an order not to allow the eldest princess to enter the palace at will, and it must be communicated in advance.
So he hesitated and said: "Your Highness, it's so late at night. Your Majesty may blame you if you enter the palace..." Before he finished speaking, a loud slap hit his face.
"How presumptuous! I want to go when I want, but you dare to stop me. I think you don't want to live anymore. Come here, drag him down and beat him to death with a stick!" The eldest princess sounded a little crazy.
This guard was originally very popular with her because of his handsome appearance. If she hadn't been in such a bad mood right now, she wouldn't have been willing to kill him.
But now she is so angry that she has lost her mind and cannot tolerate anyone or anything that does not go her way.
It was outrageous enough that the princess's mansion was stolen. Even the furnishings in the room and everything in the warehouse were gone, leaving her with only an empty shell. How could she not be furious?
After roaring and confessing, she led the people into the palace regardless, and the guard who tried to dissuade her was already beaten down by the people around her.
……
Arriving in front of the palace gate, the eldest princess did not expect that those dog slaves actually dared to stop her, and she immediately became very angry. However, they were all the emperor's people, and she could not kill them at will.
So she could only endure her anger and wait patiently for them to report to the emperor.
If she hadn't said that there was an urgent matter, those dog slaves wouldn't even have the intention to report it, which is totally unreasonable!
A bastard born from a lowly maid, does he think that sitting on the throne can humiliate her like this? I really think of myself as a nine-five-year-old.
Oh, she wanted to see if he could sit on the throne safely without her help.
It's just... so many treasures in the house have been stolen, how to support the huge number of private soldiers is really a headache.
The eldest princess sat impatiently in the carriage, put her forehead on her hands, and cursed in her heart.
Sometimes he scolds the damn thief, and sometimes he scolds the bastard born of a cheap servant. His face, which was originally quite beautiful, is twisted by anger and becomes a bit scary.
The palace was already very large, and the people who went to report it were reluctant. After all, they were the ones who got scolded for disturbing the emperor's mood.
The man said to himself, "Unfortunately," as he reluctantly walked in. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't escape, he would have just wanted to hide and pretend that it didn't happen.
But no matter how long the road is, it has an end. He soon arrived at the emperor's palace. He thought he would have to go around to the harem, but he didn't expect that the place was brightly lit and people came and went from time to time.
He immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly arrested a young eunuch to inquire about the situation to see which side was more urgent, and then decided to touch the trouble on the other side.
If the emperor was furious at this moment, he would rather risk offending the princess than go in and seek death.
It happened that the eunuch beside the emperor was going out. Before he could hear the answer, he hurried over and said politely and carefully: "Eunuch Wu, the eldest princess has something urgent to see your majesty. She is waiting at the gate of the palace at the moment."
Wu Xi's face was gloomy. He had just been scolded by the emperor and he was also angry. After hearing this, he immediately went back to report to the emperor, preparing to send the eldest princess over to vent his anger on the emperor.
The anger of big men like them can't all be directed at little men like them.
The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond. He had been careful all his life and finally climbed to a position below one person and above ten thousand people. He did not want to be a roasted fish when he was old.
Anyway, no matter how angry the emperor is, he will not kill the eldest princess.
The emperor originally knew that all the treasures in the palace were stolen, and he had no intention of meeting his idiot princess.
But Wu Xi's words made him want to make sure that the same thing happened to the Princess Mansion. Otherwise, what could make that idiot insist on entering the palace in the middle of the night?
Just now, the concubines from the harem had come to him one by one to cry, which gave him a headache. After seeing clearly the situation in the palace, he was awakened by the wine.
This is absolutely haunted!
If it were a thief, how many thieves would it take to rob everything like this? There were so many patrolling guards in the palace, but no one noticed anything unusual.
What is it if it's not haunted?
Could it be that his damn brother came here to seek revenge?
But if a vicious ghost is seeking revenge, it should be life-threatening. Why do you need so many things...
The emperor's brain had been eroded by alcohol for a long time, and he really couldn't figure out how this happened.
When the eldest princess came over, she was dumbfounded when she saw the empty palace. The two looked at each other for a while, and their anger rarely disappeared, but they were both a little panicked.
For the first time, the eldest princess lost her usual arrogance and murmured: "How about we find some monks and Taoists tomorrow to drive away evil spirits?"
The emperor wanted to scold her for her nonsense, but looking around, it seemed that there was no other way, so he stroked his aching head and nodded silently.
……
Early the next morning, the emperor didn't even attend the morning court. He slept in a dark sleep regardless of the situation, and even the imperial edict of exile was forgotten in the back of his mind.
He forgot, but the people under his command would not forget that Hu Zhuo, who had a similar status to Wu Xi, had already taken the imperial edict he had prepared long ago and excitedly led his men to the general's mansion.
Everyone knows that confiscating homes is a lucrative job. The reason why Wu Xi gave up this job is because he felt that it would not be a good thing to add insult to injury to the general's mansion.
He is not a good person, but he is best at long-term planning for himself.
Being in the most dangerous place, he was able to survive safely and climb higher and higher because he never offended people he shouldn't offend.
But Hu Zhuo was different. He was accustomed to worshiping those who were superior and suppressing those who were inferior. However, he climbed to a high position because he was flattering, servile and generous to his superiors.
If he were to go today, he would probably offend everyone in the General's Mansion to death.
Of course, this is what the emperor wants to see. If you go by yourself, you may not be able to satisfy the emperor, so why bother yourself.
You should try to stay away from muddy water.
