Emperor could not believe his ears and hurriedly questioned, “Imperial Tutor, what’s going on?”

Imperial Tutor shot Huang Yueli a glance and continued, “Yesterday while Crown Prince and I were making our way back to the palace, we saw a suspicious figure from afar. We were worried that this person was hatching evil plots so we followed him. We had never expected that his destination would be the Royal Treasury! Besides that, he also killed a few Golden Scaled Guards and sneakily smuggled into the Treasury.”

“Crown Prince and I immediately took chase and had an intense fight with him. Just as the thief was about to be taken down, Bai Ruoli appeared! Besides using sneaky moves, she also activated the mechanisms in the Treasury! We then realised that this thief was incited by Bai Ruoli to steal the items at the Royal Treasury!”

“Bai Ruoli realised that she was unable to defeat us and attempted to escape but we were hot on their tails. Out of sheer desperation, not knowing how she managed to do it but she actually activated the self-destruction mechanism! The few of us were almost buried alive inside and barely escaped by inches! However, all the treasures in the Treasury were all buried underground!”

As Imperial Tutor was depicting it, his expression was filled with grief and indignation.

“Your Majesty, you’ve always treated Third Miss Bai rather well but she actually repaid you in this manner! She actually did such sneaky things behind your back! Moreover, when she realised that she was unable to bear the responsibility, she actually buried all the treasures that our kingdom had acc.u.mulate over the few hundred years! This is simply wanting our kingdom to be destroyed!”

His words seemed devoted to righteousness that inspired reverence and momentarily, the Emperor was scared stiff.

Emperor’s eyes widened with shock as he raged, “Such a matter actually happened? No wonder when you and the Crown Prince escaped from the Treasury, both of you were heavily injured!”

Emperor turned around and interrogated Huang Yueli, “Bai Ruoli, what Imperial Tutor had said, is it true?”
