Chapter 371: Emptying the Imperial Concubine's Small Treasury
Concubine Yuan's bedroom was empty, guarded by palace maids outside. She looked around and saw that the bedroom was very large. There was a bookshelf on the left, and the four treasures of the study were placed on the table. The bookshelf was filled with some rare classics.
The painting bucket next to the table was filled with scrolls. Ye Qianning casually pulled out one and opened it. It was a landscape painting, a recently completed work, with beautiful brush strokes and extreme delicacy.
It's a pretty good painting. I didn't expect Concubine Yuan to have such painting skills.
After looking around the study, she found some antique jades on another bookshelf. She picked up a white jade Guanyin statue and casually waved it around, which was priceless.
She had also seen the White Jade Guanyin in a modern museum. It was auctioned overseas for as much as 90 million. How could she miss such a good thing? She threw it into the space.
Then the devil's claws stretched out towards other treasures, all of which were good things.
In a blink of an eye, the shelf that was full just now was now empty. Ye Qianning walked to the table and picked up the inkstone, which was not bad.
After searching the study, she came to Concubine Yuan's bedroom. What she saw surprised her. It was magnificent and even more magnificent than any other palace.
The inner room is very large, with a fine mahogany bed, a dressing table, a chaise longue, and a huge rosewood wardrobe. Next to the wardrobe is a box made of golden nanmu.
Ye Qianning first opened the box on the dressing table, which was filled with high-quality jewelry, jade bracelets, and earrings. One pair of earrings was the same pair that Concubine Yuan wore yesterday.
The cabinet under the dressing table was also piled with Zhuchai jewelry. She thought about it and took out all the jewelry in the box to make room.
Although these things cannot be taken with you, they can be sold for a lot of money on the black market.
Ye Qianning entered the palace without any intention of showing mercy. She took out all the valuables wherever she went. Finally, she came to the rosewood box and opened it.
There are some bottles and jars and some common medicinal herbs placed inside.
It stands to reason that Concubine Yuan has been favored for many years, so it is impossible that she only has so few things. She stood up and began to look around. Every bedroom in the palace has secret compartments for hiding things, so there must be some here as well.
After walking around and not finding anything suspicious, she frowned slightly and looked at the big bed. Could it be...
The most common position in film and television dramas... Concubine Yuan is so smart that she shouldn't...
Thinking of this, she raised her hand to lift the quilt on the bed, then knocked on the bed board, and the sound was solid.
She groped around the four corners with her little hands and went up along the bed rails. She found something strange. It was an interface. If she didn't feel it with her hands, she couldn't see it at all.
She twisted slightly to the left and the bed moved away.
"...It's really under the bed." Ye Qianning couldn't help but complain.
However, her position is more secretive than the bed board, and ordinary people can't find it.
When the secret box was opened, there were some gold, silver and jewelry inside, some of which were top-grade medicinal materials, and some elixirs. Ye Qianning did not have time to open them one by one, so he simply put them all into the space and went back to study them slowly.
After moving, she did not forget to restore the bed to its original state. She walked around outside to make sure there was nothing valuable, and then she slipped out of the bedroom.
As soon as she reached Miss Yuan's door, Bai Ling inside sensed her breath and started jumping and flapping in the cage.
"Chichi... Come quickly, I'm here..."
"Help... Come quickly..."
Ye Qianning moved her ears and saw that Miss Yuan was breathing evenly and was not awake, so she jumped in through the window.
