What happened next was that Zhan Jingxuan made the Queen Mother laugh out loud, while Zhan Jingchen sat on the side and listened.

Tang Xiluo felt that the scene before his eyes was unreal. How could it be so easy to be born in a royal family? Where was the palace fight that was promised? Where was the drama of the nine princes fighting for the throne?

Even ordinary wealthy families can't necessarily create such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, right? Or are they so experienced and good at acting that they don't realize it?

While the Queen Mother was chatting with her son, she was also paying attention to Tang Xiluo and Zhan Jingchen, who had been silent the entire time. The two of them were truly a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Zhan Jingxuan has also been secretly flirting with him, the future third emperor's wife. Are all the bad rumors out there true? Why does he feel that it's not the case?

And what happened to the third brother? Didn't he do everything he could to marry her? Now he doesn't even say a word to her? Can he still get a wife by pretending to be aloof at this time?

Ha! Only his third brother's noble status made it impossible for others to refuse, otherwise how could such an iron-faced devil like him marry a wife?

And what did his third brother mean by the way he looked at him? When had he offended him? He looked gloomy and scary.

The Queen Mother was a little confused when she saw her son and future daughter-in-law standing beside them, looking as if they didn't want anyone to approach them.

What's going on? Isn't it said that this girl Luo loves her son very much? Isn't it said that she would do anything to get close to her son? Why doesn't she even look at her son now? Is the rumor wrong?

The Queen Mother sighed: "Okay, I will talk to the Emperor for a few more words, and you, Chen'er, and Luo girl can leave." Give young people more opportunities to develop feelings.

"My son, please retire."

"Your Majesty, please retire."

After leaving Cishou Palace, Xiaoli wanted to run to the young lady happily, but when she saw Zhan Jingchen beside her, she became timid and followed the young lady obediently and politely.

The two of them didn't say a word, and Tang Xiluo even deliberately walked slower and lagged far behind Zhan Jingchen.

Who knew that Zhan Jingchen stopped and looked over.

Tang Xiluo also stopped and looked at him puzzledly.

Zhan Jingchen glanced at the bracelet on her hand and sneered: "You do have some skills." He actually coaxed his mother into giving her this most valued bracelet.

Tang Xiluo raised a fake smile: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is all thanks to you. If it weren't for Princess Chen, the Queen Mother would not have given me the bracelet."

Zhan Jingchen snorted and laughed: "You'd better not play tricks in front of me." He would definitely find out who is behind her.

Tang Xiluo sneered in his heart. In this palace, how could he survive without some tricks? He just hoped that he would die sooner, right?

For a moment, I couldn't smile at him anymore, not even a fake smile.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I am just an ordinary person. I don't have any tricks."

Zhan Jingchen didn't continue to talk to her. There was still a long time to go, and he would wait and see when she would reveal her true colors.

Watching the man's departing back, Xiaoli was the first to breathe a sigh of relief: "Miss, you scared me to death."

Besides, the prince is too scary. If the young lady marries into the prince's palace...

Tang Xiluo smiled and pinched Xiaoli's round face: "Don't worry, no one can bully your young lady."

Even in this ancient time with its strict hierarchy, she would find her own way to live a carefree life.

What's more, she is not an ordinary person in modern times. She is now a modern killer who has bravely ventured into ancient times. She dare not be careless or act recklessly, nor can she be slaughtered at will.

Without complete certainty, she dared not act rashly.

"Miss, let's leave the palace and go home as soon as possible." There were many people in the palace, so it was not a good place to talk. Besides, she felt inexplicably depressed in the palace.

Tang Xiluo took another look at the wall made of gold and felt a little itchy.

"Xiao Li, I'm a little tired. Why don't you go find me a carriage to wait for me at the palace gate? I'll sit down and rest for a while."

It was not easy for Xiaoli to have him, so she nodded quickly: "Okay, Miss, I'll go right away, you can rest here for a while."

When the two of them came, the Queen Mother sent someone to pick them up, and of course there was a carriage.

When returning, the Queen Mother thought that her son would send the little girl back, so she did not make any arrangements.

After Xiaoli left, Tang Xiluo quickly stood up and pretended to take a walk, observing every corner of the palace and the guards and palace maids on duty.

However, in modern times, where there are infrared surveillance cameras everywhere, she is not at all troubled, and the same could not be stopped in ancient times.

Truly skilled martial arts masters would be assigned to protect noble masters. The imperial palace covers a vast area, so it is impossible to arrange a skilled martial arts master every few dozen meters.

Moreover, who would have thought that a piece of gold would be taken down from a roadside wall? The thieves who entered the palace had higher aspirations. Who would want to steal a piece of gold by risking their lives to sneak into the palace? Who among the rich and powerful outside didn't have gold? Why would they steal the gold in the palace?

The person who sneaked into the palace was an assassin who came to kill people and would not be interested in a golden wall.

Tang Xiluo calculated the time so that she could arrive at the palace gate just as Xiaoli's carriage arrived.

She sighed with some regret. If she had a watch, she could calculate the time more accurately.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Xiluo rubbed her forehead and said, "It's okay, let's go back home." She now had to find a way to melt the gold, otherwise she would be caught if she spent it.

In the evening, Tang Xirou and Tang Xiluo accompanied Tang Xijing, who had just returned from the military camp, to have dinner.

"General! I have something to report."

Tang Xijing frowned and said, "Speak."

"General... the palace was robbed."

Tang Xijing stood up seriously and said, "What?! How could there be a theft in the palace? Which palace's treasure was stolen?"

The subordinates trembled in fear: "The emperor is furious and is summoning you to assist the Ministry of Justice in the investigation, and he also asked you to bring more soldiers with strong martial arts skills..."

Tang Xijing frowned and suggested bringing more soldiers with strong martial arts skills. It seems that this matter is very serious and rare treasures must have been stolen.

"Do you know what was stolen?"

The subordinates hesitated.

Tang Xijing was impatient: "Stop wasting time, old man, just speak directly!"

The subordinate was helpless: "General, it is a wall built with gold in the palace... someone took away a piece of the wall..."

Tang Xijing: “……!” He had never been so speechless before. He even began to feel ashamed for the thief. Just… for such a small amount of gold, he stole into the palace? !

I really don’t know how to comment on this. Is this for money or a deliberate provocation to the royal dignity?

Who would steal into the palace for a piece of gold? Who would buy a butcher knife after killing a chicken?!

"Let's go into the palace and call all the deputy commanders of the military camp."

Then he looked at his two well-behaved daughters and said, "Dad has something urgent to do. You should stay at home and have your meal. Don't be afraid. You don't have to wait for me."

Looking at her father's back as he left, Tang Xirou gave Tang Xiluo a strange look.

She had just entered the palace this morning, and in the evening she heard that a piece of the palace's golden wall had been taken away? My sister was usually a little unpredictable, could it be that she did it? This did seem like something she could do.

But Tang Xirou didn't even dare to ask. This was a capital crime, a provocation to the dignity of the royal family! If things went wrong, it might even implicate the entire clan!

Tang Xiluo felt her gaze and looked up in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that, big sister?"

Tang Xirou looked at her expression, but couldn't see any clues, so she quickly suppressed her inner panic and fear, but her hand holding the chopsticks was still shaking violently.

"No...it's okay."

Tang Xiluo blinked and said, "Daddy is so powerful, sister doesn't have to worry."

The gold was stolen in the morning and discovered in the evening. There was such a long period of time in between. It seems that she really stole from the right place.

However, it is also possible that she discovered it in the afternoon, but did not publicize it due to the royal family's face. But it doesn't matter. As long as she is not discovered within ten minutes, she will have succeeded.

Zhan Jingchen from the Wang Mansion also had the same suspicion as Tang Xirou.

Lei Er knelt on one knee and clasped his fists: "Master, there is news from the palace... ahem... a piece of the golden wall has been seized."

Zhan Jingchen was stunned: "Golden wall?"

There are so many valuable treasures in the palace, what's the big deal about deducting a piece of gold? Are you short of money but not too much?

"Master, the emperor is furious, you have to go to the palace..."

"Need not."

It's just a piece of gold, not worth his personal involvement. Besides, he had guessed the general idea. Should he go and check on his future wife himself?

Lei Er also had some doubts: "Master, only the second Miss Tangxi has entered the palace today..." She has committed robberies before, and it seems that she is the only one who can do such an incredible thing.

"shut up!"

Zhan Jingchen interrupted him coldly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Lei Er was startled: "This subordinate has crossed the line, please punish me, master."
