"Afterwards, this old servant carefully checked every corner of the imperial kitchen, and finally, in an extremely hidden spot, he found a hole that wasn't very large. And next to the hole, he found this clump of fur."
At this point, Old Yao took out the small tuft of fur, his old face filled with a bitter smile, "The texture and color of this fur, Your Majesty, does it look familiar to you?"
"This..." Emperor Longchang's eyes widened in disbelief, "That's impossible, my five little ones have all been staying obediently in their wolf den. There are people on duty watching over them at night, it couldn't possibly be theft..."
Speaking up to this point, even Emperor Longchang lacked the confidence to continue. He took the clump of fur and headed straight for the back garden.
In the Imperial Garden, the exquisitely crafted wolf den, the diligent eunuchs, and the well-behaved five little ones, everything was as it had always been.
