Leaving the Minister's Mansion, Shen Xiangwan headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
"Ha!"
Seeing that many parts of the palace were brightly lit, and the Imperial Guard seemed to be mobilizing, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but sneer again. According to the original text, the main branch direct descendants of the Weiyang Prince's Mansion, three generations of old, middle-aged, and young people all died on the battlefield. Wei Chengyi also withdrew from the army because he was poisoned on the battlefield, and they had already returned their Military Power. Yet the Dog Emperor was still unwilling to let them go, casually fabricating a charge of treason and rebellion to confiscate their property and exile them.
Thinking of that man, cold and aloof, like an Immortal, and his words to protect her, Shen Xiangwan felt even more annoyed. She made up her mind to empty the Dog Emperor's palace.
Where in the palace is the most money?
Besides the National Treasury, it must be the Emperor's Private Treasury.
Shen Xiangwan, following the memory of her only time entering the palace, found the Emperor's Bedchamber. The palace was full of Imperial Guards and Shadow Guards, and she dared not be careless. She carefully concealed her presence the whole time, confirmed the location of the Private Treasury, and once again used her space to sneak in unnoticed.
"I've struck gold! This Zero-Yuan Purchase is amazing!"
In the Emperor's private treasury, there were countless gold and silver jewelry. Opening any box at random, it was filled with various beaded strings and necklaces, hairpins inlaid with pearls and agates, and high-quality jade ornaments, etc. The variety was so vast that Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh. These, all of these were hers.
There were hundreds of boxes of various sizes in the Private Treasury. Some contained Calligraphy and Painting, Porcelain, and Cloth, etc., but most were neatly stacked with gold bars and silver ingots. There were also many Screens and Ornaments made of various precious materials, dazzling to the eyes.
Shen Xiangwan had no concept of politeness in her dictionary. With a wave of her hand, everything was put into her space.
"Are you sure he doesn't have many days left to live?"
In the Imperial Study, the Emperor hadn't slept, sitting on the Dragon Throne, his expression unclear as he looked at the several Imperial Physicians kneeling below.
"Yes, Your Humble Servant and all my colleagues' diagnoses are the same. Prince Wei Yang suffered an Anger Attacking the Heart, leading to Chronic Poison invading his heart meridian. Even with the best medicine, he will not live more than seven days, and he likely will not wake up again."
The head of the Imperial Hospital cautiously glanced at him, a thin layer of sweat appearing on his forehead.
The Emperor didn't question or express trust. For a time, the Imperial Study fell into an eerie silence. After a long time, the Emperor waved his hand and said, "Go. Withdraw all the Imperial Physicians; there's no need for further treatment."
"Yes."
Tremblingly responding, the Imperial Physicians quickly rose and left. Only after leaving the Imperial Study did they dare to exhale the stale air they had been holding in their mouths.
"Summon the Imperial Chancellor to the palace."
"Yes."
A moment later, the Emperor's Order sounded again in the Imperial Study. The Eunuch in charge, who was waiting at the side, responded quickly. Giving a Young Eunuch behind him a look, he said, "Your Majesty, it's late. Would you like some supper?"
"Mm."
Too many things had happened tonight; the Emperor was indeed a little hungry. With the eunuch's assistance, he rose and went to the adjacent side hall.
Anger Attacking the Heart, vomiting blood, and falling unconscious?
Shen Xiangwan, hiding in her space and observing the outside, was filled with questions. Were they sure they were talking about Wei Chengyi? She couldn't believe it. A man who could remain calm even when his bride was replaced, how could he suddenly suffer an Anger Attacking the Heart, vomit blood, and fall unconscious?
Perhaps, this was a play he was putting on?
Time didn't wait. Shen Xiangwan didn't ponder for too long. Confirming that there was no one left in the Imperial Study, she quietly entered. Seeing the Emperor's Imperial Seal on the Dragon Throne, her eyes lit up. Without a second thought, she put it into her space, along with some precious Ornaments nearby.
"Since we're family, we should love each other and share difficulties, shouldn't we?"
Before leaving, Shen Xiangwan placed the Letters and account books she had found in the Chancellor's Mansion study on the Dragon Throne. Her profound and bright face showed blatant wickedness. With the Dog Emperor's suspicious and incompetent nature, as long as he saw these things, even if he didn't exterminate the Chancellor's Mansion, he should confiscate their property and exile them like the Prince's Mansion. Then, she wanted to see how they would still look down on others.
The Imperial Seal was gone, the Dog Emperor would certainly fly into a rage, and the palace would strengthen its defenses. Shen Xiangwan didn't delay. After systematically looting the private treasuries of the various palace masters, she went straight to the National Treasury. Passing through the Imperial Garden, she collected all the flowers and plants into her space, leaving only bare ground behind.
Compared to the Dog Emperor's Private Treasury, the National Treasury could only be described as shabby. Dozens of huge Storehouses, their value was probably not as good as the Private Treasury. This was, after all, the wealth of the entire country.
Too lazy to complain about how incompetent and tyrannical the Dog Emperor was, Shen Xiangwan used the same method to enter each Storehouse, silently collecting everything inside, not leaving a single copper coin for the Dog Emperor.
Then she went to the Imperial Kitchen and the Imperial Hospital. Whether it was Ingredients or Medicinal Herbs, she put everything into her space. This Zero-Yuan Purchase was enough for her to squander for several lifetimes.
"Where is My Imperial Seal?"
At the third watch of the Yin hour, the Emperor, having eaten supper, returned to the Imperial Study. A roar suddenly rang out, followed by a large deployment of Imperial Guards, the entire palace thrown into turmoil.
"Find it for me, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"
In the Imperial Study, the Emperor flew into a rage. The Imperial Seal was the symbol of the Emperor; he never imagined that while he was having supper, it would disappear.
"Yes."
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Commander of the Imperial Guard did not dare to be careless and hastily bowed and left.
"It's not good, it's not good, Your Majesty, the Inner Treasury has been robbed!"
Before they could catch their breath, a Young Eunuch, pale-faced, stumbled in.
"What?!"
The Emperor, just about to sit down, widened his eyes in disbelief. His Private Treasury had been robbed?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the National Treasury has been robbed; everything is gone."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Imperial Kitchen has been robbed…"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Hospital…"
Like a chain reaction, news of robberies continued to ring out in the Imperial Study. The Emperor's body swayed, his chest rising and falling rapidly in anger: "Investigate, investigate for me… ugh…"
"Your Majesty!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Emperor collapsed, the Imperial Study immediately thrown into chaos. The culprit behind all this, Shen Xiangwan, had already left the Imperial Palace safely.
