Chapter 7: Emptying the Treasury



Before setting off at night, Huo Jingxuan divided his men into two groups. One group was him and Leng Yue, who went straight to the palace along the tunnel. He was familiar with this road, and with the blessing of Leng Yue's space, it was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

As for the remaining housekeepers and secret guards, they all carried out the old plan and went to raid the prince's farm. There was a private vault of the prince. They had all inquired about it, and knew that a batch of gold had just been deposited into the account two days ago. These people were enough, and each of them carried a bag, and they took out all the money.

In order to put the blame on the eldest prince, Huo Jingxuan deliberately stole the eldest prince's palace badge and several weapons that he guarded a few days in advance.

If you want to blame someone, just blame the eldest prince for being too high-profile. He claims that his palace has gathered masters from all over the world. It is unknown what their abilities are, but their weapons are indeed fancy and no two are the same.

Whenever the prince saw those strange weapons, the first person he thought of must be the eldest prince's men.

In order to increase the success rate of the secret guards, Leng Yue specially gave them several packets of drugs and poisons.

Then everyone split up and set off in two groups. Leng Yue looked at how familiar everyone seemed to be with the process and felt that they were repeat offenders and this was definitely not the first time they had done this.

Especially when Huo Jingxuan took her through many twists and turns to an abandoned dry well, she was certain that he had definitely been to this place before, probably more than once. He even knew which bricks were solid enough to stand on and where there was moss.

It could be that Leng Yue couldn't control her expression well, or it could be that Huo Jingxuan had no intention of hiding it from her at all.

"I discovered this place by accident when I was playing hide-and-seek as a kid. I didn't expect it would come in handy later. I used to steal things and sell them on the black market to buy wine for my father. This way, when I made a mistake, he would not feel comfortable beating me.

Later, it was really too expensive to maintain an army. I thought that since we were maintaining an army for the dog emperor, it was his responsibility to pay for it, so I continued to do so. However, we had always done small things. How about we give him a big one this time?"

Leng Yue nodded, "Yes, let's do a big one. Now that we are here, let's empty everything out. Otherwise, it's not worth our trouble."

Although Huo Jingxuan had thought about it, he was still a little excited when he really did it. "If they are all emptied, will there be enough space in the space?"

Leng Yue gently bumped Huo Jingxuan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this. If you can pretend, pretend. If you can't pretend, we will set him on fire."

Huo Jingxuan became even more excited. "Let's go quickly. I can't wait. I wish I could order it for him right now."

Leng Yue followed Huo Jingxuan and arrived at the national treasury smoothly. Neither of them had time to appreciate the things. They only had one thought in mind, which was to collect them all.

But it was the first time for them to use this space, and they didn't know how much could be packed in. So, they packed the gold and silver first. It took them a long time to pack hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and millions of taels of silver. Then they packed all kinds of jewels. They packed seven or eight boxes of pearls alone, and finally all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade, ruyi, vases and other ornaments.

There was still room left after collecting all the items, so Leng Yue no longer let Huo Jingxuan take the items. She collected everything she saw, even medicinal herbs and cloth. Before leaving, she did not forget to take away the two night pearls, one large and one small.

He also said to Huo Jingxuan: "Put the big one in your study for you to read and talk, and put the small one in the bedroom for convenience when you get up."

Huo Jingxuan couldn't accept it for a moment. Did he transition to such luxury all of a sudden?

In the end, only some of the dog emperor's own broken calligraphy and paintings were left, as well as an empty shelf. Leng Yue said, "Don't take these. Light them up, or the fire will be wasted."

Who could have thought that the national treasury was burned down just because they didn't want the fire starter to make a wasted trip. If the dog emperor knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would die.

Huo Jingxuan felt relieved as he looked at the blazing fire. He would get back little by little what the dog emperor and his dog sons owed to the Huo family, and he would make them pay with blood!

Hearing the sound of guards shouting in the distance that there was a fire, Huo Jingxuan was pulled back to reality from his hatred. He took Leng Yue's hand and said, "Wife, let's go."

Leng Yue felt very distressed when she saw Huo Jingxuan's painful look just now, so she grabbed his hand and said, "How about we add fuel to the fire and make things even worse?"

Huo Jingxuan became even more interested now. His wife would not easily give advice, but now that she had said it, she would definitely make the other party fall flat on their face.

The two retreated to the secret passage and talked at a safe distance. "Husband, isn't the Crown Prince the Regent now? He should still be in the palace at this point, right?"

Huo Jingxuan was confused by the question, but he still answered Leng Yue's question obediently, "He has been busy scheming against me these days. I guess he is busy enough. He should still be in the palace."

"Which one is the favorite concubine of the dog emperor? Which one has a powerful family and is the most helpful to the dog emperor?"

The more Huo Jingxuan listened, the more he felt it was not simple. "The people you asked are all Concubine Rou."

Leng Yue clapped her hands and said, "That's her. Put on your invisibility cloak and I'll get you some medicine. Move the prince to Concubine Rou's bedroom. You don't need me to explain the rest, right?"

Huo Jingxuan swallowed unconsciously after hearing this, “Can this be played like this?”

"Go check first, what if that dog prince is not in the palace?"

Then he changed the subject, "But it doesn't matter if he's not here. Just knock him out and move him to the eldest prince's wife's bed. The effect will be almost the same anyway."

He also deliberately let Huo Jingxuan take two antidotes first, and then told him, "The medicine in the white package is a sleeping pill, which is used to deal with the secret guards. The medicine in the yellow package is used to deal with the prince and that woman."

After that, she kissed him twice on the face, silently reciting the invisibility cloak in her mind, which made Huo Jingxuan blush again. She thought, what should I do? My wife loves me too much. She can't stand being apart for such a short while and can't bear to leave me!

Leng Yue originally wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect that there would be another invisibility cloak in the space.

I don’t know if I put one extra in there at the beginning, or if the wishing function has been upgraded.

Anyway, it was a good thing for her, so Leng Yue didn't worry about it anymore.

Taking advantage of Huo Jingxuan's absence, Leng Yue sneaked into the harem, searched all the rooms of the concubines, and gave them all contraceptive drugs.

Finally, following the map of the modern palace, she found the princes' residence. Yes, she also attacked the children, but she did not take their lives. She just made them more likely to die young and they could not become parents.

It’s a pity that the dog emperor is not in the palace at the moment, otherwise Leng Yue would definitely give him a proper greeting.

Then she slipped back into the secret passage to wait for Huo Jingxuan. When she returned, Huo Jingxuan had already returned. When he came in and didn't see his wife, he felt empty in his heart and was about to collapse.

He thought Leng Yue had been caught, but when he thought of her cleverness, he felt that he was overthinking it, so he waited there anxiously.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned around anxiously and saw that it was really his wife. He rushed over and hugged her in his arms. He smelled the familiar fragrance and let Leng Yue's little hand pinch him before he felt at ease.

Now he is like this, getting pinched every day, not only is he not angry, but he feels particularly happy.

Then he gently spanked Leng Yue on the buttocks, "I'll teach you a lesson this time. If you run around again, I'll be ruthless."

If Huo Jingxuan's hand had been a little stronger, or his eyes weren't so red, Leng Yue would have really believed what he said.
