Exiled Princess: From the Palace Heist to Becoming a Rich Madame [MTL]

Chapter 21-25

Chapter 21: Sneaking into the Palace, Emptying the Treasury

Wearing a silver mask, An'er descended abruptly at the palace gates, his voice sinister as he declared, "Those who don't want to die, step aside!"

The guards, who were in a drowsy state, sensed a terrifying murderous intent and instantly snapped awake. Among them, the captain of the guards rubbed his bleary eyes and thought with annoyance, "Where did this idiot come from, being so audacious? Is he looking for trouble?"

This was the first time such a situation had occurred since they started guarding the palace gates. Not knowing the capabilities of their adversary, they didn't dare take this lightly.

Several of them swiftly picked up their long spears, simultaneously launching an attack on An'er...

An'er quickly drew his sword and feigned a few attacks, then glanced at a shadow quietly approaching the palace gates. He pretended to be overwhelmed and began retreating.

Seeing the masked man appearing weak, the guards immediately became alert. Capturing this assassin would earn them credit for preventing an attempt on the Emperor's life, which would likely lead to rewards the following day.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Ru activated her light-footed technique and gracefully slipped into the palace.

An'er, with an expression of disdain, half-heartedly evaded a few fools. When he saw Jiang Ru entering the palace, he pretended to flee as fast as he could.

Several guards chased after him, but when they couldn't catch up, they returned to the palace gates grumbling.

Once inside the palace, Jiang Ru swiftly sprinted towards the treasury...

Haha, tonight she was going to strike it rich.

Observing the guards huffing and puffing at the treasury entrance, Jiang Ru sneaked to a corner. She sprinkled a potent sleeping powder into the air from her space...

Given their exhaustion, why not just take a nap?

Jiang Ru carefully timed her exit from space and found them all sprawled on the ground, sound asleep.

To prevent any unforeseen events, she waited in place for a few minutes.

If you don't move, I'll take action...

Jiang Ru exhaled slowly, hugged the wall, and stealthily crept into the treasury.

The moment she entered the storage room, Jiang Ru felt a slight relief.

This was way too exhilarating, causing an adrenaline rush!

Because of the tension, Jiang Ru's face flushed slightly. She looked at the wooden crates stacked in the treasury and instantly transported them all into her space.

All six storage rooms, every single item, vanished into Jiang Ru's space.

Gazing at the empty rooms, Jiang Ru triumphantly snapped her fingers.

Right, and there's still the Emperor's private treasury!

There should be even more valuable items in there!

With a light and agile pace, Jiang Ru left the treasury and followed her memory towards the Emperor's private vault.

On the way, she encountered several patrol teams.

Xiao Junze's private treasury was close to his sleeping quarters, so there were plenty of guards on patrol.

Each time Jiang Ru encountered a patrol team, she slipped into her space. After repeating this a few times, she finally arrived at the entrance to the private treasury.
