The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 395

"I've told you everything, please let me go, don't kill me," the guard begged tremblingly.

Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows. She was not a good person. If she let him go, she would be exposed!

Shangguan Ziling struck the guard on the neck with a palm, and the guard fell down limply, without breath.

Shangguan Ziling threw the body into a dark place and hid it.

She was like a ghost in the dark night, silently shuttling under the eaves. Her heartbeat and breathing seemed to have been swallowed by the night, and only the light in her eyes flashed a firm color in the darkness.

She carefully avoided the guards patrolling the palace. Those armored figures were looming in the moonlight, and each step was heavy and powerful. Shangguan Ziling knew that once she was discovered, the consequences would be very troublesome. Although she had a way to escape, she still didn't want to have unnecessary trouble.

In the dark, the eyes of the secret guards were as sharp as cheetahs. Their existence was the last line of defense for the palace. Shangguan Ziling knew that these secret guards were good at martial arts and would be exposed if they were not careful.

Shangguan Ziling stood in the dark, listening to the movements around her, with a look of vigilance and alertness in her eyes. She knew that someone could appear here at any time, so she had to remain highly vigilant and not let down her guard.

Shangguan Ziling followed the clues given by the guards and slowly began to move towards the storeroom of Lingxiao Palace. She carefully crossed the dark courtyard, avoiding the patrolling guards and people in the dark.

Shangguan Ziling came to the warehouse. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle. Through the dim light, she caught the breath hidden in the dark. Her brows were tightly knitted, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried. The warehouse was surrounded by guards, and there were many people hiding in the dark, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty and risk of her sneaking in.

"This warehouse is heavily guarded! It's not easy to get in!" The little fat boy in the space couldn't help but sigh.

Shangguan Ziling replied: "Now that I'm here, I can't let my trip be in vain. This King Lingxiao hunted my mother down back then, and now clearing out the warehouse in his mansion can be considered as some interest." Her tone revealed some determination and firmness.

"Master, be careful." The little fat boy reminded.

"Yes, I know." Shangguan Ziling replied. She was fully prepared in her heart.

Shangguan Ziling took out a special kind of love potion from the space and sprinkled it gently in the air.

The love potion gave off a faint fragrance, which drifted away with the breeze and gradually filled the entire warehouse.

After a while, everyone around the warehouse and in the dark fell into a drowsy sleep. Their breathing became slow and deep, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

"It's done!"

Shangguan Ziling saw that the time was right and quickly walked to the door of the warehouse. She used a hairpin to gently turn the door lock, and with a "click", the door lock was opened.

She pushed open the door and slipped into the warehouse.

Shangguan Ziling entered the warehouse quietly. The ground was filled with piles of golden gold bars, each of which emitted a dazzling light that made people dare not look directly at it.

The room was filled with dazzling golden light, and the night-shining pearls sparkled in the darkness, as if the stars in the sky had fallen to the earth. They lay quietly on the shelf, flashing an alluring light, as if whispering endless wealth and glory. Shangguan Ziling's eyes lit up as she watched, and she involuntarily walked closer to the night-shining pearls, reaching out to touch them gently, and the cold and hard touch made her heart beat faster.

In addition to the Night Pearl, there are also many antiques and paintings on display in the warehouse. Those ancient scrolls depict landscapes, flowers and birds, and every stroke reveals the traces of time and the hard work of the craftsmen. And those porcelain and jade wares are even more exquisite, and every detail shows the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients. Shangguan Ziling was amazed. She had never seen so many treasures. The wealth of King Lingxiao was beyond her imagination.

The little fat man in the space also shouted excitedly: "Master, I'm rich, I'm rich!"

Time was running out and Shangguan Ziling had no time to think. She quickly controlled her mind and began to collect everything in the warehouse into the space.

She waved her sleeves lightly, and the gold bars, luminous pearls and other precious items flew into the space as if they had life.

The little fat man in the space continued to shout: "Master, we are rich, we are rich, the treasury of King Lingxiao is probably richer than the treasury of the Northern Kingdom!"

Shangguan Ziling did not answer, but her heart was filled with excitement and joy. She had to find a chance to hand these things over to her uncle. She had no intention of swallowing them.

When the last item in the warehouse was put into the space, Shangguan Ziling quickly left the warehouse. She looked back at the empty warehouse and snorted in her heart.

As soon as Shangguan Ziling came out of the warehouse, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps. She immediately hid in the dark vigilantly, holding her breath and not daring to make any sound.

After a while, a patrol team of guards came over. They held torches and illuminated everything around them. Shangguan Ziling hid in the dark and watched everything.

The patrolling guards approached the warehouse and saw that the guards around the warehouse had dull eyes and were motionless. They realized something was wrong and stopped immediately.

"Not good, report to the prince immediately, there is something wrong in the warehouse," the patrol captain shouted, his voice full of fear and anxiety.

Upon hearing this, the other guards immediately went to report to King Lingxiao.

The patrol captain went forward to check the door of the storeroom. He pushed it gently and the door opened easily. He couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. Did someone really break into the palace at night? He hesitated for a moment, but decided to go in and check the situation.

He walked into the warehouse carefully, only to see that there was nothing inside. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat. There was not a single item in the empty warehouse. Had the warehouse been emptied? The palace was heavily guarded. Who could have emptied the warehouse without anyone noticing?

The patrol captain staggered out, his face pale, sweat streaming down his forehead, and he looked panicked, as if he had seen a ghost.

King Ling Xiao rushed over after hearing the news. His eyes were gloomy and cold. He looked at the patrol captain kneeling on the ground with a sneer on his lips, "What's going on?" His voice was low and powerful, making people dare not be negligent in the slightest.

The patrol captain fell to his knees, his body shaking, and stammered, "Your Highness, the warehouse, the warehouse, the warehouse is empty, and the items inside are gone." His voice was full of fear and despair, and he obviously couldn't believe that all this happened so suddenly.

When King Lingxiao heard this, his face instantly darkened, like a sky covered with dark clouds, foreshadowing an impending storm. He strode towards the storehouse, his heart filled with anger. He originally thought that his mansion was impregnable and no one could easily break through, but now it seems that everything was just his overconfidence.

When he arrived at the storeroom, he saw the door was open and it was empty, with not a single item left. His rage exploded instantly, and he swung his fists and punched the wall, making a "bang bang" sound. His roar echoed in the mansion, frightening everyone.

"Waste! A bunch of waste! So many people can lose the warehouse!" King Lingxiao shouted angrily, "Who? Who is it?" His eyes swept over everyone present, and those who were swept by his eyes trembled.

The court doctor hurried forward to examine the guards with dull eyes. He carefully observed their symptoms and then reported: "Your Highness, these people have been given Chinese medicine and are unconscious."

After hearing his words, King Lingxiao became even more furious. "Investigate this thoroughly for me! You must catch the thief who broke into the palace at night, otherwise you will lose your heads!" His words were like a cold blade, pointing directly at the hearts of everyone present.

"Yes"

The court physician and other guards lowered their heads, not daring to look up at King Lingxiao.

King Lingxiao's eyes were as vicious as poison, and a cold aura emanated from his whole body. The warehouse was emptied. Even if more people came, it was impossible to empty it overnight, and not be discovered by the guards in his mansion?

Then there is only one possibility, that is, the person who came has a space ring like him. When King Lingxiao thought of this, his eyes became even gloomier.

The news was immediately blocked, and all the guards in the palace were ordered to search for suspicious persons together. Anyone found suspicious would be brought back and tortured.

The night was deep, and there was no one on the quiet street. Only the breeze blew through the treetops, bringing a hint of coolness. However, under this tranquil appearance, Lingxiao Palace was shrouded in a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

The palace was brightly lit, and guards were busy shuttling between corners, their faces filled with seriousness and tension.

On the street, the palace guards searched house by house, their footsteps echoing in the empty streets, breaking the tranquility of the night. The people closed their doors and windows, hid in their houses and whispered, not knowing what was going on.

Late at night, they began to search for suspicious people in the streets and alleys, and even knocked on doors from house to house. The people looked at the guards of Lingxiao Palace in horror, their hearts filled with doubts and uneasiness. They didn't know what had happened, and they didn't dare to ask.

After all, the power of Lingxiao Palace is huge, who dares to offend it easily?

As time went by, the guards of Lingxiao Palace did not find any clues. Lingxiao King's face turned pale, his eyes were like torches, and he said angrily: "Useless, a bunch of useless!"

The rage in King Lingxiao's heart grew stronger and stronger, and under the strict search of the palace, the whole capital was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Throughout the entire night, the people in the imperial city were alarmed by the Lingxiao Palace. Everyone was in a panic and didn't understand what was going on!
