Chapter 4: Emptying the Palace

After leaving the Xiangfu, Shen Xiangwan went straight to the palace.

"Oh!"

Seeing that many places in the palace were brightly lit and the Imperial Guards seemed to be mobilized, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but sneer again. According to the original records, the three generations of the eldest branch of Wei Yang Palace had died on the battlefield. Wei Chengyi also retreated because of poisoning on the battlefield, and they had already returned their military power, but the dog emperor was still unwilling to let them go. He fabricated a charge of treason and wanted to confiscate their property and exile them.

Thinking of the man who was cold and looked like a banished immortal, and how he said he would protect her, Shen Xiangwan felt even more unhappy and made up her mind to empty the dog emperor's palace.

Where is the richest place in the palace?

Apart from the national treasury, it must be the emperor's private treasury.

Shen Xiangwan followed her memory of the only time she entered the palace and found her way to the emperor's bedroom. The palace was full of imperial guards and shadow guards, so she did not dare to be careless. She carefully restrained her breath throughout the whole process, determined the location of the private vault, and once again used the space to sneak in without anyone noticing.

“It’s a good deal! This wave of free shopping is so cool!”

There were countless gold, silver and jewels in the emperor's private vault. Opening any box would be filled with all kinds of beads, necklaces inlaid with pearls and agates, red hairpins and other jewelry, as well as jade ornaments with extremely fine water head, etc. There were so many kinds that Shen Xiangwan couldn't help laughing like a pig. Hers, all of these were hers.

There were hundreds of boxes of all sizes in the private warehouse, some of which contained calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, cloth and other items, while most of them were neatly stacked with gold bars and silver ingots. There were also screens and other ornaments made of various precious materials, which were dazzling.

There is no word "politeness" in Shen Xiangwan's dictionary. With a wave of his hand, everything was put into the space.

"Are you sure he won't live for many days?"

Inside the imperial study, the emperor was not asleep but was sitting on the dragon throne, looking at several imperial doctors kneeling below with an unclear expression.

"Yes, I and all my colleagues have made the same diagnosis. King Wei Yang was so angry that the poison invaded his heart. Even if he is kept alive by the best medicine, he will not live more than seven days. Moreover, I am afraid he will never wake up again."

The head of the Imperial Hospital raised his head and looked at him cautiously, with thin beads of sweat on his forehead.

The emperor did not raise any questions, nor did he express his trust. For a moment, the imperial study fell into an eerie silence. After a long time, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Go down, withdraw all the imperial doctors, there is no need to continue the treatment."

"yes."

After giving a trembling response, several imperial doctors hurriedly stood up and left. Only after they left the imperial study did they unable to hold back their breath and exhale the foul air they had in their mouths.

"Send the Prime Minister to the palace."

"yes."

A moment later, the emperor's order was heard again in the imperial study. The chief eunuch who was serving at the side responded immediately, and after giving a look to the young eunuch behind him, he said, "Your Majesty, it's late at night. Would you like some midnight snack?"

"Um."

A lot of things happened tonight, and the emperor was indeed a little hungry. With his support, he got up and went to the side hall next door.

Anger attacks the heart, vomits blood and faints?

Shen Xiangwan, who was hiding in the space and watching outside, had a question mark on her forehead. Are they sure they are talking about Wei Chengyi? Why is she so unconvinced? How could a man who could remain calm when the bride was replaced suddenly become so angry that he vomited blood and fainted?

Maybe this was a play he put on?

Time waits for no one, and Shen Xiangwan did not hesitate for too long. After making sure that no one was in the imperial study, she quietly sneaked in. Seeing the emperor's jade seal placed on the dragon table, her eyes lit up, and she put it into the space without thinking, along with some precious furnishings around it.

"Since we are a family, we should love each other and share difficulties, right?"

Before leaving, Shen Xiangwan found the letters and account books in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion and placed them on the dragon table. Her deep and bright face showed naked evil. Given the dog emperor's suspicion and stupidity, as long as he saw these things, even if he didn't kill the entire family of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would probably confiscate the property and exile them like the royal mansion. At that time, she wanted to see how they could still look down on others.

The jade seal was missing, the dog emperor would definitely be furious, and the palace would strengthen its vigilance. Shen Xiangwan did not delay any longer. After plundering the private vaults of the masters of each palace one by one, he went straight to the national treasury. When passing through the imperial garden, he collected all the flowers and plants into the space, leaving them only a bare piece of land.

Compared with the dog emperor's private treasury, the national treasury can only be described as shabby. The value of dozens of huge warehouses is estimated to be less than that of the private treasury. You have to know that this is the wealth of the entire country.

Too lazy to complain about how incompetent the dog emperor was, Shen Xiangwan used the same method to enter each warehouse, quietly collected everything inside, and did not leave even a copper coin for the dog emperor.

Afterwards, she went to the imperial kitchen and the imperial hospital and put all the food and medicinal materials into the space. This wave of free purchases was at least enough for her to splurge for several lifetimes.

"Where is my imperial seal?"

At three quarters past three in the morning, the emperor returned to his study after having a midnight snack. Angry roars suddenly rang out, followed by the mobilization of a large number of imperial guards, and the entire palace was in turmoil.

"Find it for me, even if I have to dig three feet deep."

In the imperial study, the emperor was furious. The jade seal was the symbol of the emperor, and he never dreamed that it would disappear while he was having a midnight snack.

"yes."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the commander of the Imperial Guards did not dare to be careless and bowed and left in a hurry.

"Oh no, oh no, Your Majesty, the treasury has been stolen."

Before they could catch their breath, a young eunuch with a pale face stumbled in.

"What?!"

The emperor, who was just about to sit down, widened his eyes. His private treasury was stolen?

"Your Majesty, the treasury has been robbed and everything has disappeared."

"Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen was robbed..."

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Hospital..."

Like a chain reaction, the stolen information kept playing in the imperial study. The emperor was unsteady and his chest rose and fell rapidly with anger: "Check, check for me... um..."

"emperor!"

Before he could finish his words, the emperor collapsed, and the imperial study suddenly became a mess. The culprit who caused all this, Shen Xiangwan, had already left the palace safely.
