Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Palace Zero Yuan Purchase
Chu Lian's voice was not small, and people from big families are the most associative.
Eyes rolled, and someone immediately connected the matter of Chu Ci's replacement marriage: "I remember what that person said back then. The Lingxi Pei was a relic left to her by her master. Tonight's anomaly also started from Lingyun Courtyard."
"Tsk tsk tsk, weren't they good sisters, good younger sisters, and good nieces before? Why are they quarreling among themselves now?" While putting things away, Chu Ci did not forget to take a break from his busy schedule to eat some melons and comment on them.
"So cool!" If Chu Ci hadn't still been able to think rationally, he would have wanted to show up and tell them the truth.
However, she still understood the truth that villains die because they talk too much, so she did not stop what she was doing. Well, the beams inlaid with these are rubies, right?
Pick it off, pick it off!
"Tick, tick, tick..." Just when Chu Ci was happily finding the treasure, she set the alarm to remind her that there was only one hour left before the imperial decree of exile would be issued.
The emperor's private treasury, the eldest prince's treasury, and the second prince's treasury are still waiting for her to go!
It can be said that time is tight and the task is heavy. Although eating melons is delicious, gold and silver are more beautiful. What a pity!
She sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for herself, but she had driven the scooter to its limit. The guards at the palace gates felt only a gust of evil wind as Chu Ci entered the palace.
"Xing'er, generate a hologram of the imperial palace. Target: the emperor's private treasury."
The palace was indeed the emperor's residence, and the security was extremely tight. Even though Chu Ci had hidden himself, he was nearly exposed several times, but fortunately Xing'er was able to help him avoid it.
After finally sneaking into the emperor's private treasury, a loud voice resounded through the sky, "Help! There's a thief! Catch the thief!"
In an instant, the lights inside and outside the vault were brightly lit. The guards reacted quickly!
Chu Ci moves even faster!
Pearls and agates, take them! Jade, take them! Crystals and corals, take them! Fine wines, take them! Silks and satins, take them! Tribute items and miscellaneous items, take them! Ancient calligraphy and paintings, take them! Banknotes and gold notes, take them! Gold and silver are even harder currencies, take them, take them, take them all into space!
Coming to the palace wasn't easy, so he had to make the most of it. In the blink of an eye, the huge warehouse was cleaned out.
Manager Hu wiped his eyes, wiped them again, and looked again. The treasury was still empty, and he felt completely limp. Then he screamed, "Quick, go and report to the Emperor!"
The sound was so unpleasant, I don’t know how the emperor and his concubines endured it every day.
Chu Ci shuddered, and without further delay, he retreated according to the pre-planned route. Then the silent palace exploded like a drop of cold water dropped into a frying pan.
"Oh no! The Imperial Concubine's bedroom has been robbed."
"It's over, it's over. The Empress Dowager's storehouse has been emptied."
"Quick, hurry up and report it! Everything in the imperial kitchen is missing!"
The emperor read the news one by one, his veins throbbing and he almost killed someone. What kind of thieves were so capable that they emptied half of the palace in such a short time?
The culprit, Chu Ci, happily took out the lotus crisps from the imperial kitchen and ate them. It must be said that the products from the imperial kitchen must be top-notch, and the taste is simply amazing.
The dog emperor will enjoy it.
I just wonder if I can maintain this level after all the plundering I've done. Chu Ci ate while running, and in the eyes of the people in the palace, it was like a lotus pastry flying in front, with their souls chasing after it. It was so exciting.
"Ah, ah, ah, there's a ghost eating the lotus cake!"
The maids and eunuchs were timid, but the imperial guards guessed that someone was up to something, so without thinking, they shot towards the direction of the lotus pastry.
"I dodge, I dodge again! As long as I'm fast enough, the arrows can't catch up with me!" Chu Ci drifted several times in an instant, and all the imperial guards were shot in vain.
"Hahahaha!" Chu Ci couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing this. This frightened even more eunuchs and maids. Even some of the timid guards silently took a few steps back.
So the rumor spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Finally, it was spread all over the place, and it became known that the emperor had lost his virtue and that the palace was robbed by evil spirits.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Similarly, who doesn't have a spy in the palace? So the news of the Crown Prince's imprisonment and the palace being robbed in the middle of the night was spread throughout the capital through cryptic little notes.
Chu Ci put a tick on his memo book, the emperor's private treasury was done, and the next stop was the eldest prince's palace.
The eldest prince Li Mian is worthy of being the ambitious prince in the book who is determined to ascend to a higher position. When Chu Ci entered, he was almost blinded by the dazzling golden light.
The cabinets were made of gold, the antique display cases were made of gold, and even the surrounding walls were made of gold bricks. The ground on the east side was level with the wall, and there were rows of large wooden boxes, all of which were filled with gold bars when opened.
He is even richer than the emperor. Would he dig up the gold and embezzle it?
No, let's look again. Chu Ci used Xing'er's search function to scan inch by inch, and indeed found another warehouse under the rockery in the garden.
There were gold, silver, jade, antiques and treasures in it, but now they all belonged to her, Chu Ci.
So after the Marquis of Pingyang and the Imperial Palace, the eldest prince's mansion also became chaotic.
Upon hearing the news, the Second Prince's guards instantly reached a peak. He ordered the guards to surround the storehouse, and then he quietly left the palace. Should he follow, or not? In the original novel, the Second Prince was a master of conspiracy, having a hand in every attempt to frame the Crown Prince.
Finally, I decided to follow. Anyway, the location of the warehouse in the Second Prince’s Mansion has been marked, so it’s just a matter of waving my hand.
As it turned out, she was right.
The Second Prince was indeed a master of plotting, turning left and right and finally returning to the Second Prince's residence through the corner gate. The gatekeeper was not surprised at all, but instead helped to keep an eye out for any tail behind him. It was obvious that he was a confidant. He must have done this kind of thing many times.
However, Chu Ci still underestimated the other party's shamelessness.
Who could have imagined that the Second Prince would hide his treasure beneath the First Prince's residence? The key point is that it's only a few meters away from the First Prince's study. Would it be easy for him to get into the First Prince's study if he wanted to?
Chu Ci was truly impressed this time.
This operation is really cool. Even if it is discovered, the eldest prince will take the blame.
It must be extraordinary for the Second Prince to value him so much. Never mind, never mind, I will put it into the space first and then investigate it slowly.
With only twenty minutes left, Chu Ci almost flew to the second prince's warehouse. Compared with the emperor and the eldest prince's openness, the second prince's warehouse was densely packed with traps. If it weren't for Xing'er, Chu Ci would probably have been stuck here.
It is not her style to leave a grudge unresolved. Chu Ci really did not leave a single hair for the second prince.
She even risked being exposed and walked in front of the Second Prince three times until she stripped off all the gold, silver and jade ornaments on his body.
Beep, beep, beep…
Damn it, I was having so much fun I forgot to check the time. Even so, when I left, I didn't forget to give the Second Prince a hard time. Rare flowers, take it! Long stone bench, take it. Famous illustrations, take it. Hey, this big water tank looks like a Feng Shui tank. Take it, take it, take it.
