Exiled Princess: From the Palace Heist to Becoming a Rich Madame [MTL]

Chapter 71-75

After reading the letter, Master Fu directly used a fire stick to burn it.

Chu Wenqian, the Queen's cousin.

Tomorrow morning, there will be more excitement in the court.

The theft from the treasury still hasn't been solved, and both the Empress Dowager and the Queen have been troubled by their own storerooms being robbed recently.

Well, it seems like the Emperor is in a bad mood...

According to some unofficial sources, the treasury of Prince An's residence was also stolen, and no one knows the details.

Sigh, what's been happening lately?

Strange incidents keep occurring one after another.

Could it be that this is a warning from the heavens, accusing Prince An?

...

Inside the palace.

The Emperor looked at the memorial in front of him, his head buzzing with pain.

For some time now, he had no interest in political affairs, and his mind was filled with thoughts of the treasury being stolen.

Throughout history, whether in the palace or in ordinary households, even a small theft would leave behind some clues.

However, there was not a trace left in those storerooms.

This matter was too strange, and it couldn't be explained by common sense.

Could it be that it was a warning from heaven to him because of Xiao Chengjin?

Highly unlikely!

Throughout history, those in power had all climbed to their positions on the bones of their brothers.

Besides, Xiao Chengjin didn't die, did he?

The Emperor concealed his unclear and gloomy eyes and buried himself in the memorials on his desk.

The servants led by Steward Ji breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Emperor dealing with the memorials. It had been tough for everyone recently due to the treasury theft.

...

Prime Minister's residence.

In recent days, Lady Pei heard that Xiao Mocheng had been getting close to Tang Shihua, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, and she was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

She had already learned from Chun Mei that Yao Er hadn't disfigured herself.

But why did Yao Er suddenly stop trying to please the Crown Prince?

Moreover, Yao Er's temperament had changed dramatically recently, and she exuded a strong sense of hostility.

Lady Pei pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out why.

Why was Yao Er no longer trying to gain favor with the Crown Prince? The position of Crown Princess was very likely to be taken by that wretched Tang Shihua.

In ordinary days, Tang Shihua always followed her sister Yao Er closely.

Now, her true colors were revealed.

Lady Pei thought she should find an opportunity to advise Jiang Yunyao properly.

...

In recent days, Jiang Yunyao had been secretly planning her trip to Shengzhou.

Had they arrived in Shengzhou by now?

She looked at the two hundred taels of silver in the small box, feeling a little absent-minded.
