They will also confiscate property!
The palace was huge, and in order to save time, the two men discussed and decided to split up into two groups, agreeing to meet at the palace gate in the end.
Yun Ruoxi's first stop was the National Treasury. The moment she stepped into the treasury, she saw a room full of gold and silver ingots piled up like mountains. Her eyes instantly widened, emitting a green light, and she exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, so much! This is several times more than the treasures I collected from the previous dynasty!"
She didn't care about much, and kept muttering: "Mine, mine, all mine."
As he recited, he quickly put the gold, silver and treasures into the space.
As she moved around the palace, she couldn't remember how many walls she had passed through and how many places she had passed through, including warehouses, kitchens, bedrooms, and even the cold palace.
Wherever she could go, she looted everything.
After all the trouble, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were so tired that their backs ached and they could hardly stand up straight.
But they forced themselves to cheer up and looted all the shops owned by the prince, the general of cavalry and the prime minister.
Only after everything was done did the two drag their tired bodies back to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, dive into the quilt, and fall asleep.
When the two woke up, they were awakened by Zhao.
"Xixi, Xiaoxue, someone is coming from the palace."
Zhao's voice was filled with anxiety.
The two of them sat up in bed instantly and said in unison, "It's so fast!"
When I looked at the time again, it was already the early afternoon.
At this time, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was deserted. The female relatives gathered together, but there were only four of them.
The official who came to announce the imperial edict looked at this scene and sneered inwardly. In the courtyard, a man dressed in dark red eunuch clothing, holding a bright yellow imperial edict, looked majestic.
After everyone arrived, he slowly unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Xiao Jing, Marquis of Wu'an, is entrusted with the important task of supervision. Although he has not been found to be the mastermind behind the disaster relief grain case, his failure to supervise effectively has led to the suffering of the people and the chaos that has occurred. He cannot escape responsibility. However, considering that Xiao Jing, Marquis of Wu'an, has been diligent and has made numerous military achievements for the court, I hereby decree: Xiao Jing, Marquis of Wu'an, is stripped of his title, demoted to a commoner, his property confiscated and exiled, but he may be exempted from the cangue. His residence and property are all confiscated. I decree this."
Yun Ruoxi listened to the eunuch's lengthy reading and roughly understood the meaning. The Wu'an Marquis Mansion was convicted for its poor performance. Although it was spared from the shackles, it ultimately could not escape the fate of having its property confiscated and exiled.
She cursed in her heart, this dog emperor was clearly protecting the prince.
If the Duke of England had not produced the key evidence, the blame would probably have been put on the Wu'an Marquisate.
However, the current result is much better than what is described in the book. With her and Muruxue here, and the Duke of England's Mansion taking care of the exile, everyone will not have to suffer too much.
The disappearance of the disaster relief silver was the prince's fault.
If the silver had not been lost, the prince might still be safe, but now the silver is missing and the prince is under house arrest in the Eastern Palace.
Su Lingling was just a girl in the boudoir. Without the protection of the prince, it was almost impossible for her to bribe the officials in the exile team.
What's more, the people in the Duke of England's mansion are always on guard against her, so Su Lingling is now having a hard time doing anything.
"Madam Marquis, please accept the order." The eunuch who announced the order said loudly.
"Thank you for your grace, long live the emperor."
Although Zhao responded in this way, Yun Ruoxi could clearly feel that her mother-in-law had no respect for the emperor's grace in her heart.
The eunuch Wang, who announced the decree, stood there, waiting. Seeing no sign of Zhao's response, his expression darkened instantly, and he said coldly, "Since that's the case, I will return to the palace to report."
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang." Zhao looked indifferent from beginning to end, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Wang was so angry that he stormed out.
