Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 646

Thick smoke billowed inside, and figures could be vaguely seen through the smoke and dust. These were other Imperial Guard soldiers who were fighting the fire, but the visibility inside was so poor that nothing could be seen clearly.

As soon as Shen Lingjun entered, he went straight into the depths of the national treasury.

At the same time, she frantically collected everything in the national treasury into her personal space!

The vast wealth accumulated by the Western Qi royal family over hundreds of years is mostly stored in this national treasury.

On one side of the treasury were rows of shelves reaching to the ceiling, filled with all sorts of dazzling treasures; on the other side were countless chests piled up like mountains, filled with gold, silver, jewels, silks, spices, jade and other valuables.

Shen Lingjun didn't bother to see what it was at the moment; he just put it all into his spatial storage!

The national treasury was so large that she started by collecting the side where the boxes were piled up. The fire had not yet spread to this side, so there were not many people there. Shen Lingjun quickly and thoroughly collected everything.

As a result, her space was filled with these boxes, which took up more than half of it.

The shelves on the other side can no longer be stored in the space. The items on the shelves can only be stored in the space in a messy way for now. Anyway, it doesn't matter. We can tidy them up later.

The remaining empty shelves were not clearly visible in the billowing smoke and firelight; if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even know that the shelves had been emptied.

Shen Lingjun deliberately left several rows of shelves untouched near the fire. The poor Imperial Guards soldiers, unaware that the national treasury was already empty, were still desperately trying to put out the fire.

Shen Lingjun finished collecting the items, then, with a face covered in soot, he pretended to have been forced out by the fire inside and ran out carrying a bucket of water.

At this point, no one paid much attention to her. The water in the large water tanks around them had long been used up, so Shen Lingjun pretended to go to a more distant lake to fetch water, but in reality, she ran directly towards Chu Yutang's direction.

She saw that the imperial guards who had caught up with her were distracted by the fire at the national treasury and were searching for her everywhere, but the scene was too chaotic and they had no way of finding her.

Shen Lingjun met up with Red Dragonfly Doll halfway there, and when they arrived at the entrance of the secret passage, her two bodyguards also arrived.

Both of them had clearly fought fiercely with the imperial guards and suffered serious injuries, but they were still able to move, which was already a stroke of luck.

"Everyone's here! Let's go!"

Shen Lingjun and the others worked together to open the secret passage door, jumped in, restored the hidden door to its original state, and continued to escape out of the palace.

The other end of the secret passage was in a private residence outside the palace.

They walked through the secret passage for a full hour until they emerged and entered the courtyard. No one was chasing them, so they must have shaken off their pursuers.

When Shen Lingjun emerged from the dark and cramped secret passage and saw the sunlight outside, which represented freedom, he was incredibly excited.

We finally escaped!

Although she was exhausted, disheveled, covered in soot, and her legs were trembling from exhaustion, she didn't feel tired at all!

Her space contained the entire treasury of the Western Qi royal family!

It’s been done!

This trip to the palace emptied Huo Tingsheng's coffers, but it was all worth it, no matter how dangerous it was!
