To the outside world, the inside of the space was a void. Even if those hidden guards had seen something, they could not find any trace of it. Feng Yu Heng stood in a daze inside the space. Her eyes were wide, and she did not even dare to breathe loudly. Although she knew that the other side could not take her out of the space, she could not shake off the tense atmosphere.
After a while, a voice finally came from outside: "There really was a figure. It was dressed in black, and it was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman."
"Are you certain? We have so many people watching. Not to mention a person, even a bird flying by would be caught. How is it that we have not found anything yet? "
"Who else saw a figure?"
"I also saw it, but I am not certain if it was a person."
"Keep looking."
The hidden guard outside gave his conclusion, and Feng Yu Heng felt a wave of shock from hearing it. It seemed that the other side was also looking at her from midair. Fortunately, not only did she wear a black veil, she also used a black cloth to wrap her hair. In addition to this, she deliberately did not apply any perfume, and her chest was tightly bound. She hid all of her feminine features, so no one could see through her.
She stood nervously inside the space and listened as the people outside searched for a while. They even went to the bottom of the mountain to investigate. After confirming that there really was no one, they returned to their positions. But there were still sounds of discussion that could be heard. Someone said: "If there really is an intruder, then it must be for money. His Highness' courtyard has thirty people guarding it, so there should be no problem. We will just keep watch here. If they steal something, they will definitely come out. "
"I fear that the other side is too fast, and we will not be able to catch them."
"That's fine. Either way, it's just one person. There are no banknotes inside, only gold, silver and jewels. How much can one person take away?"
With someone saying this, the people outside did not think much of it. Indeed, to them, how much could a single person steal when they came in? At most, it would be a few bundles. The Sheng Palace was large and prosperous. Would it lack a few bundles of gold? They wanted to see just what kind of person dared to enter the Sheng Palace. At the same time, they secretly admired the person. To be able to reach this place, they must be an expert among experts.
At this moment, Feng Yu Heng had already entered the cave. She had also heard the words of the Shadow Guards, but she still sneered in her heart. How much could they move? Just wait and see. Today, this great aunt will rob your underground vault clean and let you see the power of a single person. Of course, she couldn't go back the way she came. She would take a detour from the back and go straight through the courtyard wall to go home.
Feng Yu Heng was sure that there was no one in the basement. However, there was a lot of water. Not only was there water on the ground, but water was also dripping from the ceiling. The water was not deep, not even reaching the top of their shoes. However, after a few steps, their shoes were completely soaked.
She was annoyed, so she simply changed into a pair of rain boots from her previous life in her space. It was better to tread water like this than with cloth shoes.
Although there was no one guarding the underground vault at the bottom of the mountain, she couldn't make too much noise. After carefully walking forward for a while, the path ahead suddenly opened up. At the end of the small path was an open area. A cave nearly thirty square meters in size had been dug out and was piled up with wooden boxes. There were large and small chests, but they were all filled to the brim. In the middle, there was only enough space for three people to walk side by side. The other areas were filled with chests, and they did not even take up enough space. The chests were stacked on top of each other, forming a total of three layers.
She went forward to open some of the chests. Without exception, they were all filled to the brim.
Feng Yu Heng was dazed from seeing this. She had always believed that she was a wealthy person. The treasures in the imperial daughter's manor dazzled her eyes. There were times when she would feel dizzy from looking at them. Later on, when she went to the Imperial Palace Yu to visit Xuan Tianming's treasure trove, she found that she did not even have a third of what they had. Now that she looked at the Sheng Palace again, it was clear who the wealthy person was.
Feng Yu Heng wiped away her sweat and did not delay any longer. Moving her thoughts, she moved the counter in her space, creating a bit more space on the first floor. She then put away all the chests in the cave. Looking at her space, she found that there was almost no space left on the first floor. Thus she learned from the Sheng Palace's method of making things up. She stacked up all the chests in her space. Like this, it would not appear too messy.
She could not estimate the value of the treasure trove in the cave, nor could she estimate if it would be enough for Xuan Tianming's army. After all, she did not often go out to buy things. The things she ate and used were all things that were already available in the manor. If she could grasp the prices, she would be able to make a very good plan for war.
However, through this robbery, Feng Yu Heng understood a principle. It was no wonder so many people liked to steal things. It was because stealing things made money very quickly! Just like that, the cave was emptied. Of course, this was only because she had the ability. A normal thief could not steal so much.
Feng Yu Heng changed the route that she took when leaving the manor. She directly passed through the mountain and slipped away from the back. The hidden guards in front of the mountain stood guard until the sun rose, but they did not see that strange figure in black clothes again.
When Feng Yu Heng returned to the imperial daughter's manor, it was already past three in the morning. Just as she arrived at the entrance, she was grabbed by Ban Zou, who had been waiting for her the entire time. She was then brought back to her courtyard. Being caught so abruptly caused her body to break out in a cold sweat, but when she found that it was Ban Zou, she accepted her fate. She obediently allowed herself to be grabbed by the collar and brought back to her own courtyard like a little chick.
Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were pacing back and forth in the courtyard with anxious expressions. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng return, they surrounded her. They wanted to ask her something, but they heard her say: "This imperial daughter is very tired and wants to sleep."
Huang Quan stomped her foot: "Aiya, young miss!"
However, she was stopped by Wang Chuan, "Young miss is already very tired. If you have any questions, you can ask them tomorrow."
Huang Quan quickly accepted it and followed Wang Chuan back and forth to fetch water for Feng Yu Heng to wash up. Ban Zou was left standing alone in the courtyard, gritting his teeth in anger. However, there was nothing he could do. After all, that was his master. In addition, she had returned without a single injury. What did this mean? This meant that at least in terms of qinggong, his master was stronger than him. Moreover, it was not just by a little. She was so strong that he could appear and disappear like a ghost. He could not even find her shadow. His skills were inferior. What else could he say? Ban Zou was so angry that he directly returned to his own room in the inner courtyard to sleep. Tonight, he would go on strike!
The two servant girls finally helped Feng Yu Heng onto the bed. The two also withdrew. They looked at each other and helplessly shook their heads before returning to their own rooms to sleep. Feng Yu Heng did not like people keeping watch at night. Moreover, they were already used to it. Wasn't there still Ban Zou hiding in the shadows? It was fine. However, what they did not know was that halfway through Ban Zou's tantrum, he remembered that he should go to the Imperial Palace Yu to report. Thus, he quickly got up and rushed towards the Imperial Palace Yu.
However, whether or not there was someone keeping watch did not affect Feng Yu Heng. In fact, she preferred it when there was no one keeping watch. Like this, she could enter the space without any worries. She had just obtained such a large sum of treasure today. She had to take a good look at it. Only then would she not have made this fearful trip in vain.
She entered the space and did not feel tired. She opened all of the chests one by one. The chests that had been stacked together were also moved by her thoughts. Fortunately, she could use her thoughts in the space, so she did not need to use her hands to move them. This saved her a great deal of effort.
It had to be said that the wooden chests were not too shocking when they were closed, but once they were opened, especially when all of the chests were opened at once, even Feng Yu Heng felt that it was difficult to breathe. She even felt dizzy for a moment. Of course, she knew that this dizziness was not because the chests were poisoned. Rather, it was because she … the villagers had entered the city! This was too great of an eye opener! The chests were filled with gold ingots, and the chests were filled with the highest quality jewels. They sparkled and blinded her eyes!
Lying on top of the chest full of jewels, Feng Yu Heng repeatedly sighed: "Too rich! They really are too rich! " This was only the Sheng Palace in the capital. The Eighth Prince had lived in the South for so many years. The small court that he had established was equivalent to his residence in the South. There should be even more hidden there, right? Should she secretly make a trip to the south and take the treasury there as well? Just thinking about it made her feel great. Stealing things was too great, especially stealing things from scum like this. It was even better! Who told you to betray your country, who told you to be evil, who told you to dream of stealing the throne! This great aunty will not steal your nest, but this great aunty will take your treasury. Just go ahead and vomit blood!
From the time of the hour until the sun came up, Feng Yu Heng was inside the space. Lying on top of the gold, silver, and jewels, she slept until Huang Quan knocked on the door. Only then did she groggily respond. She then realized that she was still inside the space and quickly came out. She quickly changed into her pajamas and dove under the blankets before calling out: "Come in!"
Huang Quan pushed open the door and entered: "Young miss, it's time to get up. You said that you would be going to the Lu manor today."
Feng Yu Heng hugged her head and cried. She still had not slept enough.
Huang Quan called out a few more times. Seeing that she did not wake up, he walked over and lifted the curtain. Seeing that her young miss was sleeping soundly, he no longer called out. Either way, there was nothing major in the Lu manor. If Lu Yan was poisoned, then she was poisoned. Who cared if she died or not? Her young miss's sleeping matter was more important, thus the servant turned and left. She then went to find Wang Chuan and Ban Zou to analyze what exactly her young miss had done the previous night.
Feng Yu Heng slept all the way until noon, and she woke up hungry. When she sat up, she muttered to herself: "Going out at night makes it easy to get hungry!" She then called for a maidservant to come in and help her wash up.
The person that came in was still Huang Quan. While watching her brush her teeth, he said to her: "The people of the Lu manor really are impatient. They came at nine in the morning, saying something about imperial daughter agreeing to our madam coming to the manor today. This servant came to pick up imperial daughter. Tsk! What sort of joke is that! Begging us to come and being so impatient, this servant just told her to wait. Imperial daughter can tell us when you wake up. That servant has been pacing around in the front yard for the entire morning. She's even cried a few times. "
The people of the imperial daughter's manor did not have a good impression of the Lu Family. The reason that Feng Yu Heng had agreed was because she wanted to see why Lu Yan had been poisoned at this critical juncture. This matter was definitely caused by someone else. She needed to know who the culprit was and take precautions.
But she was not in a rush. After washing up, she had a good lunch. Only then did she change her clothes and leave the manor with two maidservants accompanying her. The maidservant of the Lu Family cried as she followed her out. Seeing Feng Yu Heng get into her imperial carriage, she got into the Lu Family's carriage and followed closely behind.
When Feng Yu Heng arrived at the Lu manor, she could smell the thick scent of medicine upon entering the courtyard. Madam Lu and the members of the Ge Clan personally stood at the entrance to welcome her. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and she did not have much of an image. It was clear that she had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Feng Yu Heng's imperial carriage arrive, she immediately kneeled on the ground and loudly shouted: "This subject respectfully welcomes imperial daughter!"
