Chapter 523 On Taotie’s Self-cultivation (5)
As soon as the guards entered the door, they were stunned by the desolate and lonely scene in front of them.
They looked at each other, and invariably saw the look of disbelief in each other's eyes.
Is this a royal palace?
This is simply a barren land!
Not to mention the flowers and plants, not even a dead branch or leaf can be seen! !
Separated by a wall, heaven and hell!
The once-unparalleled concubine is now wearing a dusty palace dress, standing aside with a pale face, looking at the outside world in confusion, with despair and sorrow written in those beautiful eyes!
The guards couldn't bear to look at it. Not to mention hiding things in such an empty place, even a grasshopper could clearly see it when it jumped out. The concubine was so pitiful. How could she live in such a place? So long?
The guards came and left in a hurry. No one wanted to stay here longer. After leaving the cold palace, everyone sighed.
No one dares to say anything, let alone comment. These are His Majesty's instructions. Who dares to question His Majesty's decision?
After seeing off the search team, Jiang Tang yawned.
I have to sleep some more, I feel sleepy after eating too much.
Taotie is good. As long as you have food to eat, you don't care about anything else. You can use a piece of wood as a pillow, the ground as your bed and the sky as your quilt, and you can sleep soundly.
At this moment, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
All the officials of Dali Temple rushed to the entrance of the temple and followed the clues left by the thief along the back window.
Facts have proved that the emperor's food is not all waste, and soon someone discovered the clues.
"Your Majesty, the thief came in through the rear window. There were many guards patrolling the main entrance of the hall. How did such a huge and heavy dragon bed get transported out?"
Everything is so weird and unbelievable.
Finally, the Dali Temple Shaoqing came to a conclusion. "Your Majesty, the dragon bed weighs five tons and requires ten strong men to lift it. There are only two entrances to the entire palace, the windows are too small, and the main entrance is heavily guarded, so I think it is impossible to lift the dragon bed. Transport it out from the Hall of Supreme Harmony!”
Emperor Song almost laughed out loud and roared in a low voice: "Why did the dragon bed disappear for no reason? Could it be that I was hungry last night and ate it?!"
Long Yan was furious, and the officials present knelt down one after another, but no one dared to answer.
"Come here, I want to draw up a decree!"
The eunuch at the side quickly prepared the edict in writing. Emperor Song stood in front of the table, his face as resolute and handsome as a knife, so dark that ink was about to drip from it.
I saw him holding a pen in his right hand, writing an edict, offering a reward of one million taels for the capture of the thief. Of course, he did not mention that his dragon bed was stolen. This was too embarrassing for the royal family. He only said that the palace was stolen and that a large reward was offered.
After finishing writing, Emperor Song opened the wooden box containing the jade seal. When he raised his eyes, the hand holding the pen suddenly stopped!
When the eunuch standing aside saw this scene in front of him, he hurriedly knelt down at the emperor's feet, shaking like chaff.
The jade seal, the jade seal is missing a hole! !
Emperor Song felt that his head was a little dizzy. The broken jade seal was dangling in front of him, and a double image began to appear.
The tall body was trembling slightly, the veins on his forehead popped out, and the eyes as thick as ink shone with a dangerous and terrifying light.
"Dali Temple obeys orders."
The emperor's voice was as cold as the cold wind of winter, mixed with sharp ice particles, piercing the hearts of everyone present.
"Your Majesty orders!"
"Go and invite me a Taoist priest with superb magic skills."
"..."
"Tomorrow, I want to see a truly capable Taoist priest standing in front of me."
