Chapter 930: 425 Face-Slapping (Two More Chapters)_2 Chapter 930: 425 Face-Slapping (Two More Chapters)_2 The Consort Ning might have guessed something about Prince Ning or how she managed to save the Consort Rui from his hands, Gu Jiao knew nothing about it.

Prince Ning was warning her.

Gu Jiao tugged at the corner of her mouth.

She had wanted to slowly harvest this batch of Chinese chives, but who told you to owe her, after all?

The night was dark and windy.

Gu Chengfeng had finally paid off all his debts and had a good night’s sleep, feeling proud.

But what he hadn’t expected was that in the middle of the night, he felt something scratching his face.

He thought it was Gu Chenglin and turned over to continue sleeping.

Little did he know, that thing crawled right into his blanket.

Gu Chengfeng suddenly woke up with a start, jumping out of bed, “Who are you!”

Xiaojiu, with his head under the blanket, flapped his wings in a daze, “Chirp?”

After recognizing the Hai Dongqing in front of him, Gu Chengfeng’s mouth twitched fiercely.

Having been to Bishui Alley so many times, it was impossible not to recognize this eagle.

Xiaojiu hopped in front of Gu Chengfeng, arrogantly extending his claw.

Gu Chengfeng took a closer look and, lo and behold, there was even a note tied to it!

Gu Chengfeng unfolded the note.

On it were just three words scribbled in a mess—Prince Residence.

Behind it was also drawn a small, bloody knife.

Gu Chengfeng: “…”

In this day and age, people don’t personally come to call on others, but send little birds as messengers instead?

Because of his dissatisfaction with Gu Jiao’s perfunctory attitude, Gu Chengfeng overlooked the significance of those three words, Prince Residence.

It wasn’t until he followed Xiaojiu to the wall of the Prince Residence that he suddenly had a shock, his eyes widening as if just waking from a dream!

Where was this girl taking him?

The Prince Residence?

Gu Chengfeng turned and walked away!

He must be crazy to think of breaking into the Prince Residence with her!

Unfortunately, Gu Chengfeng had left too late, as a small hand whisked out, dragging him into the Prince Residence.

Gu Chengfeng again: “…”

As soon as they landed, a patrol of guards passed by, and Gu Chengfeng quickly used his lightfoot skill to hide behind a large tree with her!

Once the guards had gone far enough, Gu Chengfeng looked at Gu Jiao with suppressed anger, “What’s going on this time? How did you end up at the Prince Residence?”

The Prince Residence was the largest prince’s residence in the Capital City. Although there were no Dragon Shadow Guards, it was filled with traps and had tight security, certainly not a place that one could simply barge into!

“Do you even understand the mechanisms involved?”

He gritted his teeth.

Gu Jiao: “Oh.”

Gu Chengfeng closed his eyes. He really wished he could die.

After a long while, he finally calmed down, “You haven’t answered me, what are we doing at the Prince Residence?”

Gu Jiao declared righteously, “Robbing.”

Gu Chengfeng looked at her in her thief’s attire, “Are you sure it’s not just stealing?”

Gu Jiao made an affirmative sound, “Same difference.”

“How has Prince Ning offended you?” Gu Chengfeng knew this girl too well. She didn’t steal for wealth—

Gu Jiao: “Quickly look for where the Prince Residence hides its gold.”

Gu Chengfeng: Is it really good to be contradicted this fast?

Prince Ning was a very wealthy prince, and with Gu Chengfeng’s proficient skills, he effortlessly found Prince Ning’s secret treasury.

“How much are you going to take?” Gu Chengfeng asked.

“As much as the two of us can carry.” Gu Jiao took out two big hemp sacks from her basket, “Empty it.”

Gu Chengfeng: “…!!”

In the end, the two of them left the Prince Residence with two sacks full of gold bars, and there was even a gold bar that couldn’t fit which was carried back by Xiaojiu.

The two and the bird successfully emptied Prince Ning’s secret treasury.

Prince Ning learned of this incident the following afternoon.

Just as he had come out of the Imperial Palace, he saw his trusted guard rushing over with an anxious expression, “There is trouble, young master, the warehouse has been burglarized!”

“Which warehouse?” There were several warehouses in the Prince Residence, some belonged to him and some to Consort Ning.

The trusted guard braced himself, “…Your private treasury.”

Prince Ning’s forehead furrowed in an instant!

He clenched his fist, asking, “How much was stolen?”

The trusted guard said with a guilty conscience, “All, all of it.”

Prince Ning’s gaze turned cold, “The palace is heavily guarded, how could so much gold be carried out? And what about the traps? Are the people dead, or the traps no longer functioning?”

The trusted guard whispered, “Neither, neither.”

The guard felt wronged too.

The Prince Residence’s guards patrolled as usual, and there were no mishaps, the mechanisms operated as normal.

Who knew how Prince Ning’s private treasury could have been burglarized?

Prince Ning felt this matter was no small issue. More than who could have the ability to empty his treasury, he should be concerned about who dared to target his treasury?

As the eldest son of the Emperor, he not only had the Emperor’s love and the Empress Dowager’s esteem but also support from the Zhuang family, even the Empress Xia and the Crown Prince wouldn’t dare to touch him lightly.
