Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 460 Visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion at Night (2)
The emperor looked at her indifferent face, with a complicated expression flashing in his eyes, and explained softly: "Age, the old warehouse was stolen, it was done by a family thief, and everyone in the harem is suspicious. Search all the palaces, you are the master of the six palaces, I searched your Zhaoyang Palace first, to set an example for the imperial concubines..."

Ye Ge smiled coldly, distrust is distrust, why bother looking for so many high-sounding reasons!
The emperor turned his head away from her, his sharp eyes swept over Zhaoyang Hall, and said coldly: "Zhao Hai."

Zhao Hai understood it, and waved his hand lightly. Dozens of young eunuchs poured into the Zhaoyang Hall, searching the inner hall, outer hall, guest hall, and side hall inch by inch, without missing any place. .

Mu Yutang frowned tightly as she looked at the emperor's gloomy expression. He really had someone search the Zhaoyang Palace!Ye Ge is a proud woman, she doesn't bother to lie, she said she didn't steal the medicine, so she must not have stolen it, the emperor has slept with her for so many years, so he should know her very well, why doesn't he trust her so much?
The maids and nuns of Zhaoyang Palace were all driven to the outer hall, standing neatly in a row, looking at each other with puzzled eyes.

Ye Ge sat on a pear-wood recliner, savoring the clouds and mists of the snow-capped mountains gracefully and calmly, turning a blind eye to the eunuchs who were dutifully searching the palace.

Mu Yutang looked at her leisurely and indifferent expression, and sighed softly in her heart, Ye Ge didn't steal the medicine, and there was absolutely nothing found in Zhaoyang Palace...

"Your Majesty, this servant found this." A thin voice sounded, and a little eunuch hurried over with a wooden box in his arms.

The box is light sandalwood, and the fine texture is exactly the same as the box placed on the nanmu shelf in the old warehouse!
The emperor's sharp eyes narrowed sharply. The boxes on the nanmu shelf were all specially made, and they were only used to hold the medicinal materials in the warehouse. Such boxes actually appeared in Zhaoyang Palace, haha.

"Open!" There was indescribable majesty and anger in the cold and sharp voice.

"Yes!" The little eunuch lifted the lid of the box, revealing a plant of ginseng, thin and white in shape, with a light smell. At first glance, he knew that it was a high-quality century-old ginseng. It was this kind of ginseng that was lost in the old warehouse.

The emperor looked at Ye Ge with a gloomy and terrifying expression: "Ye Ge, do you have something to say?"

Ye Ge glanced at the ginseng, and said in a calm voice, "Five years ago, on the night of the gunpowder explosion, my concubine was shocked. Afterwards, the emperor sent someone to send dozens of medicinal materials including this plant of ginseng to my concubine. The concubine didn't have enough food at that time, so she didn't eat it, and kept it until now..."

The emperor was stunned, and the thrilling scene five years ago appeared in his mind. Dozens of black-clothed assassins were tightly surrounded by the imperial army. He wanted to capture the leader alive, so he went into battle and fought fiercely with them.

Unexpectedly, the assassins detonated the gunpowder frantically. He was entangled and couldn't get away from him. The moment the gunpowder exploded, it was Ye Ge who rushed over and rescued him, but she was severely injured and recuperated for more than a month... …

A complicated look flashed across his sharp eyes, and he looked sideways at Zhao Hai. He just ordered to reward Ye Ge, and Zhao Hai arranged for the specific reward.

Zhao Hai stepped forward, lowered his voice and said: "Returning to the emperor, there was indeed a hundred-year-old ginseng in the medicinal materials that were rewarded at that time, and there was indeed an extra one in the batch of boxes you ordered, and I used it to contain the medicinal materials and sent it Come to Zhaoyang Hall."

The emperor nodded understandingly, looked up at Ye Ge, his eyes were full of apology: "A Ge, I misunderstood you."

"It's okay, you are the emperor, and you have done nothing wrong by being suspicious of suspicious people." Ye Ge's voice was calm, and he was thousands of miles away.

The little eunuchs who searched came back one after another, and shook their heads lightly to meet the emperor's questioning gaze. The missing medicinal materials were not in Zhaoyang Palace, so the house thief was naturally not Ye Ge!
There was a trace of guilt in the emperor's eyes, and he called out in a low voice: "Age..."

"Has the emperor finished the search? If the search is over, please move out of the door. The concubine is tired and wants to rest." Ye Ge looked at the teacup in his hand coldly, and gave the order to evict the guests without any politeness.

The emperor looked at her indifferent face, thousands of words were choked in his throat, but he couldn't say a word. After a long while, he sighed softly: "You have a good rest."

"Show the Weiyang Palace." The eunuch's shrill voice sounded in Zhaoyang Palace, and the young eunuchs followed closely behind the emperor, and filed out. The queen's Zhaoyang Palace was searched, and it was Ye Guifei's Weiyang Palace next. up.

Concubine Ye Gui did not understand martial arts, so she could not sneak into the old warehouse to steal medicinal materials. Naturally, nothing was found in Weiyang Palace. Zhongcui Palace, Yongfu Palace, Yichun Palace, etc. almost all the palaces of the harem concubines were searched, and nothing was found. The shadow of those medicinal materials.

As night fell, Mu Yutang and Xiao Qingyu left the palace and boarded the carriage back to the other courtyard.

Mu Yutang sipped her tea lightly, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "For a bunch of medicinal materials, he doubted his first wife, and searched the palace. I really don't know what the emperor of the White Tiger Kingdom is thinking."

Xiao Qingyu pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "That's not an ordinary medicinal material."

Mu Yutang frowned tightly: "Even if the medicinal materials are rare and rare, he wouldn't be so suspicious." The medicinal materials are dead, and they can be collected when they are gone. An insurmountable gap, even if you try your best to repair it, it is impossible to reconcile as before.

Xiao Qingyu's obsidian-like pupils flickered darkly. He carefully looked at the medicinal materials on the nanmu shelf, and came up with a prescription. He could also guess about seven or eight of the missing medicinal materials.

The emperor put those medicinal materials on the nanmu rack in the warehouse, not just for simple placement, but to use those medicinal materials to refine a kind of medicine. The lost medicinal materials happen to be extremely rare and very important, and they will be lost in a short period of time. If they couldn't find them all, the emperor was naturally angry and anxious.

"Xiao Qingyu, who do you think stole those medicinal materials?" If he could sneak into the old warehouse and steal the medicinal materials in the heavily guarded palace, that person must be proficient in formations and light skills.

Xiao Qingyu looked at her puzzled eyes, with a clear smile in his pupils, and said lightly: "Who is the most powerful official in the White Tiger Kingdom besides the emperor?"

"Who else can there be, Prime Minister Ye." He is the head of the civil servants, under one person, above ten thousand people, and also has the daughter of a noble concubine, the grandson of the prince, besides the emperor, he is the most powerful and glorious person in the White Tiger Kingdom up.

Mu Yutang looked at Xiao Qingyu with a half-smile: "You don't suspect Prime Minister Ye, do you?" Ye Xiang holds a lot of power in his hand, and it is not impossible for Ye Xiang to secretly find a powerful person and sneak into the palace to steal medicinal materials.

Xiao Qingyu's obsidian-like pupils flashed an unfathomable mystery: "Let's go to Ye Mansion to see."

At midnight, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the capital of the White Tiger Kingdom was shrouded in darkness.
