Chapter 42 The Emperor's Only Child
Chapter 42 The Emperor's Only Child
Fuling did it very cleanly, leaving no evidence, so he was not afraid of being investigated.
Since the Luo Mansion was robbed, several mansions in the capital have been robbed one after another, and the modus operandi is exactly the same as that of the Luo Mansion.
It was initially confirmed that it was done by the same group of people.
Yes, a bunch of people.
They think it was a gang crime.
But He Weiyuan, a time-traveling girl who possesses a system, doesn't think so.
In her previous life, she read a lot of novels and even fantasized about having a system herself.
Now the system is available.
There may not be room for others.
"System, can you find out who was responsible for the recent thefts in the capital?"
"Host, I am a child-bearing system and I can also be a capture system... Apart from the capturer's information, this system knows nothing else."
The system sounds mechanical and cold.
"System, the attacker is in the palace. I can't get in at all. How can I attack him?"
He Weiyuan was also very anxious. She originally thought that since she had a system, it would be easy to conquer someone.
She had already decided to be a favored concubine held in the emperor's palm.
But reality gave her a big slap in the face.
Not to mention conquering the emperor, she couldn't even see the emperor's shadow.
It’s not that she hasn’t thought about entering the palace through selection.
Unfortunately, the emperor has cancelled the selection since he turned thirty.
Therefore, she could not enter the palace, and as for being a palace maid, she directly refused.
After finally experiencing the life of a rich lady in ancient times, she didn't want to be a maid and serve others.
Fuling didn't know what she was thinking, but she had been reaping a lot of rewards recently.
The Dali Temple searched the entire capital but found no clues.
Now, everyone in the capital who has not been robbed is trembling with fear and dares not close their eyes when they sleep at night.
They would be awakened by the slightest movement.
This led to the appearance of a group of pandas in the court.
The emperor, sitting on the dragon throne, glanced at everyone in the hall and finally fixed his eyes on Fuling who was in the front.
Among all the people, everyone had dark circles under their eyes and a haggard look, as if a demon had sucked all their energy out of them and they looked like they would not live long. Only Fuling had a rosy complexion and looked full of energy, which made her stand out from the crowd in the hall.
Fuling felt the emperor's gaze and showed no sign of fear.
She also smiled brightly at the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked away, looking at Yao Maocai standing beside him.
"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."
Yao Maocai, who was standing nearby, noticed the emperor's gaze, flicked the whisk in his hand, took a step forward, and shouted in his shrill, hoarse voice.
The ministers below were whispering to each other, but no one came forward.
Seeing that no one came forward, the emperor was just about to speak when Prince Rui walked out of the team with unsteady steps.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Although Prince Rui's mansion was not robbed, Prince Rui was still in fear every day, fearing that the things he had worked so hard to obtain would fall into the hands of thieves in the blink of an eye. He could not rest easy until the thieves were caught.
Half a month had passed since the Luo Mansion was robbed. He had not slept well for a single day during this half month. Especially every time he heard that someone's house had been robbed again, he had no chance to rest properly.
"allow!"
Judging from his expression, the emperor already knew what he wanted to say, but the emperor was powerless to do anything as he also wanted to catch the thief.
After all, this thief is elusive, and he is also worried about the national treasury.
Because of their concerns, the palace has now received a lot of additional guards, who are patrolling 24 hours a day to ensure that not even a fly can fly in.
The number of guards in the palace increased, but Fuling remained silent and did not speak. She did not intend to tell anyone else about this, including the emperor.
Money can tempt people, so she doesn't dare to gamble, nor does she want to.
Now it's good like this.
As for.
She had already figured out how to use the gold, silver, and jewelry she had collected from various ministers' residences.
When she ascended the throne, all these things were deposited into the national treasury to contribute to the country.
"Your Majesty, the capital has recently been plagued by a theft, and the people are in a state of panic. I request Your Majesty to send more people to find the culprit as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid..."
"Where is the Dali Temple Minister?"
Dali Temple Minister Jin Haize wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked out of the team, lowered his eyes and spoke respectfully.
"Your Highness, I, Jin Haize, from the Dali Temple, would like to present my opinion to the Emperor..."
Jin Haize is a young man in his early twenties, and he is also very handsome, but at this moment he is pale, with dark circles under his eyes, and looks like he has aged a few years.
He was unlucky as he had just taken office and encountered such difficult things. During this period, because of the theft case, he only slept two hours a day.
Sometimes when he was busy, he would sleep directly in the Dali Temple.
"Do you have any clues about the theft?"
The emperor already knew the answer, but he still asked again according to the procedure.
The answer is still no.
The emperor did not make things difficult for Jin Haize, but just asked him to search as soon as possible.
After retiring from court, Fuling did not go to the imperial study, but returned to her own Fenglin Palace.
These days she was busy getting rid of evil for the people, but she also didn't forget to pay attention to the time-traveling girl.
The time-traveling girl couldn't see the emperor, so she chose to attack King Rui, and she planned to start with King Rui.
Now the two are fighting fiercely.
Fuling is ready to add fuel to the fire so that the time-traveling girl can achieve her wish.
When she, the time-traveling girl, went to Prince Rui's private residence again, she handed a small note to Da Xixu and Princess Rui, mother and son.
Although Princess Rui did not believe that Prince Rui would do this, she still took people to his private residence.
That house was her dowry, and she had hardly ever been there.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the house, Princess Rui met her son who came in hurriedly and said in surprise.
"Xu'er, why are you here?"
"Mother, why are you here too?"
Both mother and son saw surprise on each other's faces.
After asking each other, they found out that they had both received small notes. When they took them out, they found that the content was exactly the same, and the handwriting was the same. It was obvious that they were written by the same person.
Just as they were hesitating whether to go in, the door opened from the inside.
The butler knew Princess Rui and Da Xixu. His face changed drastically and he even stuttered when he spoke.
"King...Princess!"
Princess Rui is not a fool. Seeing the housekeeper like this, how could she not understand?
She raised her hands and pushed the two maids beside her away, then walked towards the yard with a menacing look.
Seeing this, Da Xixu followed closely behind.
The butler watched the group of people leaving and silently lit a candle for King Rui.
Fuling saw the two people flirting in the yard through the reincarnation mirror and silently said sorry.
Prince Rui held the pen in one hand and looked at the smiling girl sitting on the swing with tenderness and affection in the other hand.
Today, He Weiyuan was wearing a light green long skirt, with her hair half tied up and a ribbon of the same color as her clothes.
The wind blew gently, making He Weiyuan look like a fairy descending from heaven.
However, the originally peaceful scene was destroyed by a group of people who suddenly appeared.
Princess Rui didn't expect that Prince Rui was actually in her private residence.
Prince Rui was panicked at first, but then he calmed down. He held his face in a serious tone and said in a dangerous tone.
"Princess, you are following this king."
Princess Rui did not expect that Prince Rui not only had no intention of explaining, but instead took the initiative.
But she wasn't scared.
She curled her lips and smiled coldly.
"Prince Rui, are you too old? This house is my princess's dowry. Do I need to notify you when I come to my own house?"
"Princess, you are quite eloquent."
"No match for you, Your Majesty."
When Princess Rui appeared, He Weiyuan quietly exchanged words with Rui and then turned and left.
However, he didn't get far before he was stopped by someone.
"Yuanyuan, where are you going?"
