Lin Yuxin hid in the corner, frowning in deep thought. It seemed impossible to steal without anyone noticing, so she had to think of other ways.
Suddenly, Lin Yuxin looked at Zhizhi, her eyes lit up, and whispered to Zhizhi:
"Squeak, you go in, you can get it too!"
"Squeak!"
Okay, tell me!
Zhizhi seemed to realize something and nodded in agreement. Since they were already here, it wouldn't be right not to take some back with them!
So Squeak flew over in a flash and slipped through the crack in the door without anyone noticing.
A moment later, a squeaking sound rang in Lin Yuxin's mind:
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
Woman, the Zhao Kingdom's palace is even richer than the Xia Kingdom's! There are so many gold ingots!
"Stop looking, put it away quickly, we'll go check out other places later!"
Lin Yuxin urged, "Even if he has money, it's all hers now! How dare Qiu Qiyi choke her? She'll not only make him lose his emperor status, but she'll also make him empty his treasury."
"Squeak!"
knew!
Lin Yuxin immediately activated the connection between the spaces. After a short while, Lin Yuxin clearly felt movement in the space. She used her divine sense to go in and see that the place where the treasure was previously stored was filled with gold and silver treasures, as well as other valuable items.
It was so dazzling it almost blinded Lin Yuxin!
"Haha! These are all mine now. Let's go, Squeak, let's go to the next place!"
Lin Yuxin was so happy about the money that she almost jumped for joy.
Since the space was upgraded, she has become penniless. She can't even take out a single copper coin from the space, and she can't get the commission from the gold mine in the North City every day. The Emperor only pays her monthly.
Besides, she's not even in the Xia Kingdom, so the Emperor wouldn't send money to her in the Zhao Kingdom, would he?
So she'd been broke for days, but now she's finally at ease, hehehe!
After Lin Yuxin emptied the national treasury, she began to sweep through the entire harem, taking the money from the concubine who had the most.
What puzzled her was that some of the concubines were not in the palace. Where had they gone so late at night?
However, going there was none of Lin Yuxin's business; she took her things and left.
After a busy night, before dawn, Lin Yuxin finally felt she had collected enough, so she sent Zhizhi back to her space and quietly returned to her room.
As soon as Lin Yuxin climbed in through the window, she sensed something was wrong—there was someone else's presence?
She cautiously pulled a packet of poison from her bosom. It was a deadly poison, and if he dared to make a move, she would poison him first!
Lin Yuxin held the poison in her hand, cautiously observing her surroundings. She couldn't see any signs that the room had been disturbed, so she walked step by step toward the bed.
As soon as she reached the bedside, a large hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Lin Yuxin felt as if she were being held by a man.
She was immediately alarmed and was about to sprinkle the poison in her hand when she heard a familiar voice in her ear:
"Xin Xin, it's me!"
Lin Yuxin paused, a surge of joy rising in her heart. She immediately threw away the poison in her hand, wrapped her arms around Li Xiaochen's waist, buried her face in his chest, and listened to his heartbeat. At that moment, her heart calmed down.
"Ah Chen! I miss you so much!"
Lin Yuxin clung to Li Xiaochen and wouldn't let go, murmuring sweetly in a coquettish tone.
"I know, me too! By the way, are you alright? Qiu Qiyi didn't bully you, did he?!"
As if he had just thought of something, Li Xiaochen quickly pulled Lin Yuxin aside and looked her up and down carefully.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Qiu Qiyi will have to wait and see if the poison in my hand will allow it if he tries to harm me! Hehe, Achen, how did you find me?"
Lin Yuxin noticed Li Xiaochen's worry and quickly took his hand to comfort him, while also looking quite smug.
“You! Do you know how worried I was when you disappeared? I couldn’t find you in the whole of Bianjing, so I suspected that you might be in the palace. Qiu Jingfan went to Qiu Qiyi to test him and found out that you had indeed been brought into the palace by Qiu Qiyi. I was worried, so I went to the palace overnight to see you.”
Looking at the person in front of him, Li Xiaochen truly felt alive again. He had been afraid of receiving bad news from Xin Xin these past two days, as he couldn't bear it.
"I'm sorry, actually I let them take me away on purpose. I just wanted to see who the mastermind was. As a result, I was knocked unconscious by the guards as soon as I left the courtyard. When I woke up, I was in the palace. However, I didn't have a chance to ask Qiu Qiyi if he was the mastermind behind the blood painting, but it should be him."
Lin Yuxin pulled Li Xiaochen to sit on the edge of the bed, leaned against him, and whispered.
"It is indeed him. I have already arrested Master Tianxuan and destroyed the place where they committed their crimes. Moreover, Tianxuan has confessed that the person behind him is Qiu Qiyi, and his purpose is to kill, but he is using a high-sounding excuse to refine immortal pills!"
"Another thing is that the late Emperor of Zhao was tricked by Qiu Qiyi into taking that elixir, which resulted in his death. As for Qiu Qiyi's royal brothers, they all died within two months of his ascension to the throne. They were all persecuted by him for various reasons. Tianxuan said that some of them were even given to him so that he could take their heart's blood. None of them survived."
Li Xiaochen held Lin Yuxin in his arms and told her about the information he had found out in the past two days.
"As expected of a madman, he is indeed cold-blooded and ruthless in his actions."
Lin Yuxin also said with deep emotion.
"Qiu Qiyi is too cruel. But what I find strange is that I have thwarted all his schemes, yet he has not made a move yet?"
Li Xiaochen was truly puzzled; his men in the palace hadn't found anything! All he knew was that Qiu Qiyi had been staying inside the Yangxin Hall for the past two days, not even attending the morning court.
It is evident that Qiu Qiyi kept the news extremely well hidden, not letting out a single whisper. The outside world only heard that the Emperor was ill and recuperating.
"Heh heh! He probably doesn't have time to worry about anything else! Even if you blew up his palace right now, he wouldn't have a chance to pay you any attention!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxin suddenly said with a smug look on her face.
"Oh? What did you do, little girl?"
Li Xiaochen couldn't help but laugh at Lin Yuxin's smug look, and asked in a polite tone.
"Hehe, I drugged him. He's still sleeping with multiple women in one night! He can't even get out of bed, so even if he receives the message, he won't have the energy to deal with it."
Lin Yuxin raised her eyebrows slightly and said.
Hehe, so in that sense, she actually helped Li Xiaochen out?
"You little rascal, always coming up with dirty tricks, but I like them!"
As Li Xiaochen spoke, he lowered his head and leaned closer to Lin Yuxin, kissing her once. Feeling that it wasn't enough, he grabbed Lin Yuxin's neck with one hand and kissed her fiercely.
Let out all the worries and fears of the past two days.
Lin Yuxin was completely dizzy from the kiss. Just as Li Xiaochen was about to take it a step further, Lin Yuxin suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly reached out to push Li Xiaochen away, but she couldn't push him away for a long time.
So he could only pat Li Xiaochen's shoulder to try to make him stop.
Li Xiaochen noticed Lin Yuxin's nervousness, and after kissing her for a while longer, he stopped, panting heavily. He pressed his forehead against Lin Yuxin's, staring intently at her, and asked in a deep voice:
"What's wrong?"
