Chapter 22 The Emperor's Private Treasury
Just when he was extremely anxious, his forehead hit something with a bang.
He looked up and saw a spirit tablet staring at him.
He could no longer bear this stimulation, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted magnificently.
The beauty was already frightened by all this weirdness and screamed loudly. She collapsed to the ground with her limbs powerless. Finally, she hardened her heart and knocked herself unconscious.
The two people who had fainted on the ground with Xia Xing'er suddenly felt that the end was over, so they started to pack up their things and looted everything in the house.
Finally, looking at the quilt with unknown liquid on it, he curled his lips in disgust, hardened his heart, and left it to them.
I was too kind-hearted and left a quilt for this old guy.
Xia Xing'er collected things as she walked. When she came to the kitchen, she collected the vegetables, grains, and cooked food. The kitchen, which was full just now, was empty in an instant. Even if a mouse came, it would have to leave crying because the kitchen was collected so cleanly.
There was actually a door next to the kitchen. When I opened it, I saw that it was filled with grains, dried goods such as jujube, longan, and red dates, as well as countless precious supplements such as deer antlers and bird's nests.
Never mind, just take it, it’s all hers.
I went to the warehouse again, which was filled with boxes of all sizes. No matter what was inside, I put them away first.
Finally, she came to Lin Yuanfeng's study, where she saw the evidence accusing Zhennan King Xuanyuan Yi of treason. It seemed that this old guy had not had time to hand over the things to the dog emperor, so she took them away first. Let's see what he will give to the dog emperor.
Considering that there was a secret room in the study of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, she checked it carefully again. Fortunately, she was careful, otherwise she would have missed it.
There actually is a secret room, and the things inside are no less than those in the Taifu Mansion. No wonder the two of them can collude with each other and become corrupt.
Letters with Beidi were found here. Wow, this old guy turned out to be a spy of Beidi. The prime minister of a country was actually a spy of another country. It’s really scary to think about it. No wonder the Xuanyuan Dynasty was destroyed.
Just as she was about to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, she heard someone shouting.
"There's a thief, there's a thief, come and catch the thief!"
"Oh no, oh no, the kitchen is empty, everything in the kitchen is gone!"
"Help, help, come and see, the warehouse is empty, empty, it's killing me!"
"Oh my God, the granary is empty!"
"Did the master do something that angered heaven and man, causing the entire mansion to be emptied?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Go tell the steward immediately that the entire Prime Minister's Mansion has been emptied out!"
"Can't find the butler?"
"Did the housekeeper hire someone to vacate the place?"
"Shut your stinky mouth now! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll knock your teeth out! My godfather is not that kind of person. He fainted. He was knocked unconscious by the thieves!"
"Will you go and report to the master?"
"Can't find the master?"
"The master is in Aunt Lian's courtyard?"
"What, the master is also fainted?"
"What about the lady?"
"Madam is also fainted?"
…
The Prime Minister's Mansion is in chaos, and the culprit, Xia Xing'er, has already started her next target.
Xia Xing'er thought as she walked, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are much more vigilant than those in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and they were discovered and robbed so quickly.
She walked and collected things along the way, visiting every jewelry store, herbal medicine store, restaurant, pawnshop, cloth store, garment store, grain store... that she had visited during the day.
As long as the officials were on Xia Xing'er's blacklist, no store under their names would be spared.
In just one night, hundreds of shops in the capital were cleared out and dozens of officials' residences were vacated.
It was almost dawn, but there was still one place she hadn't visited. She didn't want to wait until tomorrow, as the night would only bring more trouble. She decided to take the trouble and go to the palace. She couldn't possibly visit all the dog emperor's confidants but leave out the dog emperor. How could that be possible? They were in the same boat, and she absolutely couldn't let him go.
The guards in this palace are much stricter than those in the officials' residences. Look at these guards walking back and forth, there's not even a place for them to take a nap. Wow, they are really dedicated to their duties.
The first stop was the emperor’s private treasury. Wow, it really was worthy of being the emperor’s private treasury.
Inside, there were countless gold, silver, jewelry, brocade, silk, tribute utensils, and rare treasures.
Look at these mountains of gold and silver, mountains of jewels.
This dog emperor really knows how to enjoy himself.
Now that she has seen it, it is his, and he has taken it all.
This dog emperor's harem is so big, with so many concubines that she doesn't even know how many palaces she has. But because they are the emperor's women, she still gives them face and leaves a set of clothes for each of them.
Finally, she arrived at the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace. She looked at the palace in front of her, her mind full of thoughts, not knowing whether she should close it or not.
The Queen Mother was quite nice to her, as long as it didn't touch upon her son's affairs.
Before she was eight years old, she often followed her mother into the palace to talk with the Empress Dowager.
Looking back now, the Empress Dowager sometimes looked at my mother with complicated eyes.
There is envy, hatred, and pity...
But on the surface, he did not make things difficult for her mother and even gave her many rewards.
In her case, three years ago, when she requested for marriage, she issued the imperial decree without hesitation.
Yesterday she came to ask for the decree of divorce. Although she had not seen him before, later on, her wish was fulfilled and the dog emperor granted the decree of divorce.
But she couldn't understand why she didn't help when something happened in the Changxin Marquis Mansion in her previous life. She even suspected that she was responsible for the deaths of her parents, brother and sister-in-law.
She was given a power-dispersing potion by Ye Qingyu at the time, and it was impossible for her not to know about the imprisonment and abuse.
But why didn't you lend a hand?
Of course, all this was just her suspicion.
In the end, she entered the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace and symbolically collected some things in the palace.
In the end, I don’t know how, but I somehow ended up entering the secret room of Shoukang Palace.
There was no gold, silver, jewelry, or treasure in the secret room, but a portrait of a man.
Judging from the man's appearance and attire, he is definitely not the late emperor.
Upon closer inspection, she actually looks a bit like her father.
What's going on?
Who is this person?
What does it have to do with the Empress Dowager?
Should she take the portrait away?
A voice inside her told her that she should take the portrait away.
In the end, she decided to follow her heart and take the portrait.
She came to the imperial kitchen again.
The imperial kitchen was bustling with activity at this moment, with a large table already filled with more than 30 dishes.
Bird's nest soup, steamed sea bass, pumpkin porridge, bear paw stewed with potatoes, Buddha jumps over the wall, crystal buns, four-happiness dumplings, colorful fried camel hump, pea yellow, lotus seed porridge...
The food in front of me not only looks delicious, but also smells delicious...
There was nothing to hesitate about, and they were all taken away with a wave of the little hand.
