Ning Xi'er steadied herself, and her body finally returned to invisibility.
The Prime Minister's residence was not far from the Marquis's residence. Ning Xi'er was already quite skilled, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she had already slipped into the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence.
Before her illness, the original owner's birth mother often brought her children home to visit, so she knew the inner courtyard structure of the Prime Minister's residence by heart.
Ning Xi'er went straight to her maternal grandmother's room and took out the key to her private vault from the familiar cabinet.
The private vault contained all of her maternal grandmother's dowry. Liu was a shrewd businesswoman, and the dowry from her maiden family when she got married had multiplied many times over.
It was precisely because of his scumbag father, and even the royal family, that he was eyeing him covetously.
Dozens of boxes containing gold and silver ingots, and dozens of boxes containing pearls, agate, coral, sea pearls, agate, turquoise... and other precious jewelry...
More than a dozen boxes containing land deeds, screen ornaments, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
"I'm rich!"
Ning Xi'er sighed inwardly, "Take them all!"
He then quickly slipped into his aunt Chen Yue's room and took the key to the Prime Minister's mansion's storeroom.
To train her younger aunt, the maternal grandmother had her help manage the household affairs.
Time was of the essence, and Ning Xi'er didn't distinguish between different items. She directly swept everything in the warehouse into her spatial dimension and razed it to the ground.
There are still two hours until the Prince Cheng's mansion welcomes the bride.
Ning Xi'er didn't waste a moment and went straight into the palace along Zhuque Avenue.
Thanks to his stealth ability, he made a smooth and easy advance.
Ning Xi'er wanted to empty the palace because the emperor sitting in the Golden Palace was indeed not a good one.
Not only is he cut from the same cloth as his scumbag father, coveting his maternal grandmother's vast wealth, but he also neglects state affairs and ignores the suffering of the people...
His obsession with calligraphy, singing, and cultivating immortality led to the rise of treacherous officials in the court, resulting in the wrongful execution of loyal ministers. The tragedy at the Prime Minister's residence was just the tip of the iceberg...
Beset by internal and external troubles, frequent disasters, and widespread suffering, with the states of Jin and Qi eyeing the country covetously, and with the national treasury already depleted, the emperor used almost all of the treasury's funds to extensively construct temples, hoping to pave the way to immortality...
Ultimately, internal strife erupted, and the states of Jin and Qi seized the opportunity to launch a joint attack on the state of Yan. Emperor Xiaowen hastily abdicated and fled south, and the crown prince was captured immediately upon ascending the throne...
The prosperous era established by Emperors Xiaocheng and Xiaowu, two wise and benevolent rulers, was ruined by such an incompetent ruler.
The location of the inner treasury was not hard to find. Ning Xier tied up two eunuchs, forced them to reveal the location of the inner treasury, and then knocked them unconscious. She did not show herself from beginning to end.
Even though her maternal grandmother, Lady Liu, had a dowry that was as rich as a country, it was still insignificant compared to the emperor's private treasury.
The warehouse was resplendent with gold, glittering everywhere with countless treasures.
The pearl in the Liu family's inner treasury, about the size of a thumb, is already a unique and irreplaceable specimen...
But in the emperor's private treasury, there were two whole boxes of sea pearls the size of quail eggs!
The corals in the Liu family's inner treasury range in length from an arm to one, and are among the most unique in the world at that time...
But in the emperor's inner treasury, there was a screen with a coral carving on the front!
It was formed from a single piece of natural carving without any breaks or connections!
Other rare and precious treasures abound, each one priceless!
A gold nugget the size of a pillow is actually the least valuable thing!
That damned emperor! He has so much, yet he still covets the wealth of the Prime Minister's mansion!
Empty it all!
Ning Xi'er was aggressive and even took away all the gilded decorations on the warehouse walls!
Not even a scrap of food was left for him!
Following the same method, Ning Xi'er emptied the Empress's own private treasury.
Managing the palace's finances, the Empress's treasury is quite large, let's just say it is! Except for the phoenix crown, which is inconvenient to take with her and is kept to enhance the Empress's image...
The Empress's hairpins, jewelry, gold, silver, silks, and satins...
Ning Xi'er didn't leave behind a single thread.
If he were a good emperor, Ning Xi'er would never have touched the national treasury.
But with such an extravagant emperor who sought immortality and medicine and built countless temples, not a single penny was intended to benefit the common people...
Disaster relief, water conservancy construction, school establishment, and military funding...
Isn't it delicious?
In my previous life, this damned emperor dismissed and investigated several officials from the Ministry of Revenue when the temple was only half-built, and in the end, he had to confiscate the mansions of many officials and wealthy merchants to make up for the shortfall...
Leaving even a single copper coin might just inspire this dog emperor to consider building another temple. Take it, take it!
Not a single penny will be left!
With the wealth accumulated in the imperial treasury and the national treasury, the wealth of other princes and princesses seemed insignificant.
If time weren't limited, Ning Xi'er would definitely have searched for them one by one...
But right now, there are even more places to stockpile.
But even if she doesn't go to the palaces of the other princes and princesses, how could she not go to the palace of the Crown Prince, who is now her second husband?!
