Chapter 1: Start of Exile, Collect Supplies
"The general died in battle, and 50,000 soldiers were lost. Is this true?"
"Everyone on the street is saying that the old prince is in a coma..."
"It must be fake, it's all a conspiracy. The general is so wise and brave, how could he be defeated?"
Listening to the discussions outside, combined with the unfamiliar memories in his mind, Zhu Mingqing couldn't help but swear.
It’s so fucking unlucky!
Just one day after retiring from the special forces, she had not had time to enjoy her good life when she suffered a plane crash. When she woke up one day, she was transported to a novel about war in troubled times that she had read before.
The original owner was also called Zhu Mingqing. She had been married to Luo Tingshan, the prince of the Luo Palace in Southern Xia and the general of the expedition, for seventeen years. After learning the news of her husband's defeat, she hanged herself. The next day, everyone in the palace was exiled.
However, her second son endured the humiliation and successfully rebelled to end the chaotic times and became the emperor, but he also became a villain that everyone feared, and his ending was really bleak.
When Zhu Mingqing thought about the reason for exile, her head began to buzz. It was all the sins committed by the original owner, and now she had to end it.
"Madam, you finally woke up!" Fen Tao pushed the door open with medicine and said in surprise.
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyes and saw the person coming in a pink dress. Was she the maid named Fen Tao?
He was loyal and knowledgeable in medicine, but was tortured to death on the way to exile while trying to protect the original owner's daughter.
Yes, in addition to the villain's second son, she also has two sons and one daughter, and her eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant. In a few months, she will become a grandmother.
Zhu Mingqing closed his eyes too weakly, took a deep breath and opened them again.
She opened her mouth and was about to speak when a gust of cold air rushed into her throat and she couldn't help coughing.
Fuck, that hurts!
"What time is it now?"
"Your Excellency, Madam..." Before Fen Tao could finish her words, the sound of bells could be heard from afar.
Boom, boom...
The dull sound of the bells was accompanied by the howling north wind, and a hint of paleness appeared in the sky.
It’s time to go to court!
There were only two hours left before the imperial edict to confiscate the property came down.
Zhu Mingqing felt nervous, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
"It's exactly the hour of Mao." Fen Tao finished her words.
Zhu Mingqing picked up the medicine and drank it all, then stood up, dressed, and tied up his long hair. His movements were sharp and quick, as if he had repeated them countless times.
Fen Tao was stunned and couldn't help but remind her, "Old Princess, please don't pay your respects. Madam, there's no need to wait over there. You can rest more today."
Speaking of Zhu Mingqing, I couldn't help but grit my teeth. The original owner was too cowardly. He would just cry when he was bullied.
You said you dared to commit suicide, so what else are you afraid to face?
"Madam, where are you going?" Fen Tao saw her move and immediately followed.
"Don't follow me. Oh, and pack some silver and hide it on yourself!" Thinking of what happened later, she turned around and wrote a letter. Then she took out a stack of indentures from the box and said, "Make sure to send this letter back to the Zhu family today. Also, distribute the indentures. After today, you will be free."
After saying that, he walked out.
Fen Tao was confused. Why did she have the illusion that she was making arrangements for her funeral?
By the time she reacted, the lady was nowhere to be seen.
…
Recalling the terrain of Prince Luo's Mansion, Zhu Mingqing went out and turned left. His first destination was the old princess's private vault.
There was almost nothing left of the original owner's dowry, as it had all been taken away by the old princess.
She had to get some money to save her life, or at least reach the place of exile safely.
There were not many people on the way to the private vault, but there were two guards at the door.
She took advantage of the situation and attacked each man with a knife, knocking him unconscious.
As soon as the door of the private vault opened, Zhu Mingqing's eyes widened.
Wow, this is really eye-opening.
She had visited museums in modern times, but compared to this place, it was nothing.
All kinds of exquisite porcelain are arranged in an orderly manner, filling up ten shelves.
There were also countless farmland and shop deeds, gold and silver jewelry, silks and satins, and boxes of various jewels, agates, and jadeite...
If you take any one of them to Hyundai, you can probably buy a house!
Moreover, after careful counting, the original owner's dowry is basically all here.
Well, let her say what.
The original owner was so stupid!
However, if these things can be taken away, there is nothing to worry about during the exile.
As soon as the thought flashed through her mind, Zhu Mingqing felt her eyes were blurry.
Because the gold ingot in his hand was gone.
She blinked, thought of something, and excitedly took another golden hairpin to try out.
Sure enough, it disappeared.
She held her breath and asked tentatively, "System? Space?"
"Yes, Qingqing." A clear voice suddenly rang out, "As long as Qingqing silently recites in her heart, the items can be stored in the space."
Zhu Mingqing's eyes lit up. God still loved her. Now she didn't have to worry about her exile.
As soon as the thought of packing up came to mind, the room suddenly became empty.
There was nothing left, including the tables, chairs, and benches in the corners and the big water tank at the door.
When leaving the yard, the old princess's intermittent crying suddenly came from the room.
"Hong'er, this news can't be true, what should we do in the future?"
"Mother, don't worry about whether it's true or not. The most important thing right now is to send all the valuables away and make sure they don't end up in the hands of the eldest wife."
"Don't worry, the money is all here with Mother. I'll find a chance to distribute it during the exile."
"But the Zhu family will definitely not ignore the eldest sister-in-law."
"Then keep them for a while, and wait for that fool to deliver the money to Mother."
Okay, since you don’t care whether we live or die, don’t blame me for being rude!
Zhu Mingqing kicked the door open with force, and the mother and daughter were knocked unconscious before they could even see who was coming.
Because they were talking in private, the maids and servants all hid far away and no one knew what was going on here.
Zhu Mingqing cleared out everything in the house. When he left the room, he felt something was wrong with the floor under his feet and discovered that there was a basement.
There is a small hill inside, all of it is golden gold.
It's shocking at first glance.
At least Zhu Mingqing had never seen so much gold.
This old princess must have done something shameful to build such a hidden basement in her room.
Take them all away, they definitely can’t transport them out anyway.
Next, Zhu Mingqing deliberately avoided everyone and went to the palace's large warehouse.
This is more than twice as big as the old princess's.
Wow, it is worthy of being the only royal palace of a different surname. It has been fighting in wars since the time of Taizu and has accumulated wealth over a hundred years. You can imagine how much wealth it has.
It's understandable that he is as rich as a country. He is rich, powerful and loved by the people. No wonder he is targeted!
Never mind, just put them all away.
Weapons such as bows and arrows, spears, swords and halberds, stored food, rare medicinal herbs such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, saffron, cordyceps sinensis, and Cistanche deserticola, as well as many rare calligraphy and paintings were all taken away.
She wished Mingqing would never leave a single grain of rice for the enemy.
At this time, there is still one hour before the imperial edict arrives.
Zhu Mingqing took a deep breath, ignoring the pain in his neck, gritted his teeth and ran quickly.
When they arrived at the kitchen, all the pots and pans, flowers, fruits, vegetables, grains and seasonings, fruits and cakes, seeds and grains were put away, and even the firewood in the woodshed was not left with a trace of sawdust.
When she passed by the sewing room, she went in and searched around, not leaving out any needles and thread rings, robes and boots, and all kinds of clothes and furs for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
There is also the most important place, the palace accounting office.
