Just as Eleven was about to put her down, Emperor Shangwen had already seen this.

[Father, when you see me like this in Eleven's arms, will you think that I am not reserved? I am actually very reserved! ]

Xiao Ruyu asked and answered her own questions confidently.

But he heard Emperor Shangwen laugh heartily, "No matter what my daughter does, she just needs to be happy."

After Emperor Shangwen finished speaking, his eyes turned to Empress Duan lying on the couch.

Queen Duan pretended to stand up and bowed to him.

"You don't have to be so polite, Queen. I came to see you and Ruyu. How has the Queen's health recovered these days?"

Emperor Shangwen's tone was full of concern.

Queen Duan coughed and sighed slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The imperial physician has examined my illness several times. After treatment, I have gotten much better. I will be well again in the spring."

Seeing the delicate figure on the couch, Emperor Shang Wen took her hand with pity and said, "I have confiscated the property of the Minister of Revenue these days. There are many rare medicinal herbs in his house. I asked the imperial physician to pick some and send them to you to nourish your body."

Xiao Ruyu heard the conversation between the emperor and the empress, and pricked up her ears curiously, eavesdropping obediently.

[I didn't expect that the Minister of Revenue's residence would have rare medicinal herbs. I'd like to see what treasures he has.]

Xiao Ruyu's eyes turned slightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful eyes. Eleven looked at the little girl in front of him and knew that she was moved again.

[If I can please my father, he will surely reward me with these medicinal herbs.]

The sound of Xiao Ruyu's thoughts clacking away on the abacus reached the ears of the emperor and empress.

"This child is quite clever. If he wants some medicinal herbs, why not just tell your father? Given how much your father loves you, he will give you some."

Queen Duan was amused by Xiao Ruyu's inner thoughts.

The latter was somewhat embarrassed.

"Ruyu, come here and let father hug you."

Emperor Shangwen opened his hand, and Eleven immediately understood and sent Xiao Ruyu into his arms.

Xiao Ruyu was sent into the arms of Emperor Shangwen, and her smile became even brighter.

[Father, you are so heroic and brave that you can eliminate the Minister of Revenue. You are very sharp-sighted. You also searched their house and confiscated it. You will definitely make sure that they have no way to escape in the future! It seems that the Minister of Revenue will never be able to turn over a new leaf. However, he actually hid so many things privately. Whether he can turn over a new leaf or not is not a big deal. ]

Xiao Ruyu smacked her lips slightly and praised Emperor Shangwen for a while.

"It is indeed my negligence that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was able to hide so many things. I have issued such a clear order to prohibit corrupt officials, but he still managed to have so many rare medicinal materials. It seems that he is really capable to have been able to hide from my eyes for such a long time."

Emperor Shangwen reflected on himself.

Xiao Ruyu's head shook like a rattle.

[That's not the case, but Father, think about it, since he has already coveted so many things, if we confiscate them now, they will all belong to you.]

Emperor Shangwen was so fascinated by her thoughts that he nodded repeatedly.

He was very happy about it.

[But Father, I also have a small request. ]

She chuckled and blinked.

Emperor Shangwen's heart melted when he saw his daughter being so cute.

"You tell me, whatever you want, Father can give it to you."

[Father, I want these rare medicinal herbs.]

Xiao Ruyu blinked her eyes, her rosy little face full of anticipation.

When Emperor Shangwen heard this, he waved his hand.

He smiled and said to Eleven, "Take the princess to the treasury to choose. Let her take whatever she likes."

"yes!"

Eleven responded and took Xiao Ruyu to the treasury.

When Xiao Ruyu heard that Emperor Shangwen agreed without hesitation, she was overjoyed.

She poked her head out of Eleven's arms. It was the first time she saw the national treasury, and her jaw dropped to the ground in shock.

The treasury was built in a majestic manner, with dragon and phoenix carvings on the doors, bronze doors with jade locks, and three layers of guards patrolling inside and outside.

[This is too spectacular. So this is the national treasury? It seems that my father has a good sense of aesthetics. He built this national treasury so magnificently that even a thief would be able to find the right place at a glance.]

Xiao Ruyu was impressed again and again.

When I got inside, I was even more amazed to find all kinds of treasures inside.

"Please bring the princess with me."

There were also special eunuchs to provide guidance, for fear that Eleven would not find the place.

The young eunuch led the two of them to a wide area and pointed in the distance.

"Look, right there, on those rows of shelves and in the black wooden boxes next to them, are all the rare medicinal herbs and antique calligraphy and paintings that we found this time from the residence of the Minister of Revenue."

Upon hearing this, Eleven brought Xiao Ruyu closer.

As soon as Xiao Ruyu took a look over, she knew that what her father said was right.

[These herbs are indeed priceless and rare in the world. Eleven, we must quickly collect all of them! ]

After she finished speaking, she heard Eleven respond.

The two took away all the herbs, but Xiao Ruyu found that one of them looked particularly familiar.

[Wait, there seems to be something among these that looks especially like the saffron from Yaowang Valley! ]

She asked Eleven to stop immediately.

She found the herb similar to saffron, compared it with other herbs, and found that they were exactly the same.

Xiao Ruyu was shocked.

[Why did the saffron that should have appeared in Yaowang Valley appear here? ]

Xiao Ruyu suddenly felt confused.

"Princess, why don't you go ask Master now? Perhaps he can answer this question."

Eleven spoke slowly in a low voice.

Xiao Ruyu nodded heavily.

[Go and ask Master quickly. There is no time to lose. This is really urgent. Otherwise, I will not be able to sleep tonight.]

Eleven walked very fast, and Xiao Ruyu felt very excited when he held him in his arms.

When the two of them were passing by Qiwu Palace, she saw a figure acting sneakily.

Eleven also noticed something, so he deliberately slowed down his pace. In order to avoid being discovered, he took Xiao Ruyu and hid himself.

[Let's see what this person is up to. He is sneaky and looks like he is from Concubine Li's palace. Concubine Li is so cunning, there must be a conspiracy.]

Xiao Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she thought of what Concubine Li had done before, she became furious.

Eleven's face was grim, and he was also observing what the other party was doing.

I saw the man walking out of Qiwu Palace, looking around, avoiding other people's gazes, and he seemed to be holding something in his hands.

But Xiao Ruyu couldn't see clearly.

[Take me in and see what bad things Concubine Li is up to. She must not be as simple as we think.]

Xiao Ruyu continued to give orders to Eleven.

He responded and took Xiao Ruyu carefully to avoid the eyes of the palace maids and guards in Qiwu Palace.
