Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 421 Sweeping Through the Imperial Palace

Skateboards are fast, but they still make noise when gliding on cobblestone streets.

The night watchman heard a buzzing sound, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed as if someone had passed by. But when he turned around, the person was gone, and he was immediately filled with doubt about life.

And then there were those who hadn't gone to sleep yet. Feeling hot in the middle of summer, they opened their windows to look out for some coolness. Then they heard a buzzing sound, followed by a figure that darted past. Thinking they were seeing things, they quickly closed their eyes and shook them. But when they opened their eyes again, there was nothing there, only a faint buzzing sound.

and also……

In short, many people saw a human figure disappear in a flash that night, and then they started to imagine all sorts of things.

Yunyi was unaware of the commotion she had caused. She quickly arrived outside the palace and, guided by Yang Chunni, turned to the northeast corner.

“Young Miss, this is the weakest point in the guard. Going in from here leads to the Imperial Garden. There’s a hole at the base of the wall over there. It used to be a rat hole, but it collapsed a bit. It was probably made by stray cats and dogs when they went in and out. You should be able to squeeze in.”

Yunyi: ...

She hadn't crawled through a dog hole in ages, and now...

You can't drill through it; it's a matter of dignity.

So, Yang Chunni saw the young lady take out a grappling hook and chain lock, throw it onto the wall with a whoosh, tug on it and felt it was very secure, and then she was up there in a flash.

Yang Chunni: ...

So I was overthinking it?

"No, you're underestimating the problem," a voice suddenly came from the side.

Yang Chunni was startled and quickly turned her head to look. She saw a ghost messenger standing next to her, staring at her menacingly. She screamed and jumped to Yunyi's side, disappearing into the peach wood pendant.

Night Wanderer: ...

Yunyi, sitting on the wall, sensed something was amiss. She turned her head and frowned, asking, "Why are you here?"

"Boss Ghost, it's not appropriate for you to have a ghost around." Night Wanderer also had a headache.

"Who sent you? The old man or..."

"Everything is known."

Yunyi: ...

She only left a ghost behind, yet everyone below knew about it?

"Boss Ghost, you know this isn't in accordance with the rules." Night Wanderer was sent to negotiate with her, and he was really going bald from the stress.

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

"But we are ghosts, and ghosts are dead too."

Yunyi: ...

Damn it, I can't refute it.

"Boss Ghost, look..."

"Old Ye..."

Night Wanderer was immediately jolted. The Ghost Boss didn't call him Old Joe, but Old Night instead. This was the prelude to his anger. He hurriedly floated backward: "Ghost Boss, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. The message has been delivered. You decide what to do." Then he vanished in a flash.

Yang Chunni poked her ghost head out from the peach wood pendant: "Young Miss, has the ghost messenger left?"

"I'm leaving." Yunyi jumped down from the wall. "You're mine now, no, you're my ghost. They won't dare take you. But once this is over, you'll have to be reincarnated."

“I know,” Yang Chunni nodded. “As long as that evil person gets his just desserts, I will go on to reincarnation.”

"Good boy/girl, lead the way quickly, let's go to the warehouse first."

Yang Chunni dared not search any further and simply floated away.

The palace has two storehouses: one is the Imperial Household Storehouse, which mainly stores books, catalogs, and furniture; the other is the granary, which is located outside the palace, very close to the canal, and is heavily guarded.

Yunyi's purpose in coming to the palace was not for those books, although they were valuable, but that would only be relevant in later generations. She came for the private treasuries of the various palaces, especially the emperor's private treasury.

The emperor's bedroom is called Qiankun Palace, which is the largest building in the entire harem and is not far from the imperial study and the imperial garden.

However, as an emperor with so many concubines in his harem, he would rarely stay in his own palace if he wanted to favor a woman. Sometimes, when he was tired, he would stay overnight in the Imperial Study. Therefore, the Qiankun Palace was mostly empty.

In particular, Emperor Zhou Shundi has recently been showing special favor to the Imperial Preceptor, and he has been spending most of his time staying in the Imperial Study.

The guards in Qiankun Palace had become quite lax, so when Yunyi entered, she didn't disturb them at all.

Emperor Zhou Shundi's private treasury was located in a side hall of the Qiankun Palace, a row of four-bay halls filled with things.

Yunyi couldn't help but whistle; this emperor was really quite rich.

A guard outside heard the short whistle and asked the person next to him, "Did you hear anything?"

"No, where is the noise?"

"I just heard a whistle."

"You must have misheard. The Emperor hasn't come over for two months, where did that whistling come from?"

"Did I hear wrongly?"

"If you're worried, we'll go check it out."

So the guards came over, but found that all the locks on the doors were intact and there was nothing unusual about the rooms and courtyards, so they didn't say anything more.

The guard thought he must have misheard.

After Yunyi and the others left, they didn't linger any longer and directly put everything in the warehouse into their spatial storage.

Yang Chunni stared in surprise at the suddenly empty room, her ghost eyes widening. As expected of the young lady, she was incredibly powerful. Even a ghost immortal might not have this ability. So, she really made the right choice in clinging to this powerful figure.

Yunyi didn't linger any longer. She went straight from the side hall to the main hall and took away everything that was in the room, including the dragon bed, dragon chair, and dragon couch.

In short, after an hour, the entire Qiankun Palace will become a square building.

Actually, if she weren't afraid of being discovered, Yunyi would have liked to take all the glazed tiles off the roof.

Next is the Weiyang Palace where the Empress lived. Although Empress Xiao was imprisoned, everything inside is still there, since she will still need to live there when there is an Empress in the future.

Yunyi didn't care. Since there was no one around, she took everything away, especially the things in her private vault.

At that time, there were no safes, and since it was inside the palace, no one dared to act recklessly. So, each palace used an unused side hall as their private treasury, simply locking the door from the outside.

Of course, only the emperor had the means to create basements.

This made it easy for Yunyi; she could easily open the lock with a wire.

After clearing out Weiyang Palace, Yunyi didn't go for more and went straight to the Imperial Kitchen. Although there was no gold or silver jewelry there, there were plenty of delicacies. In comparison, these were more affordable for ordinary people, especially the pots and pans, which were the people's favorites. In the end, not a single piece of firewood was left in the entire Imperial Kitchen.

Then came the Manufacturing Bureau, the Imperial Medical Academy, and the Armory—all taken away in one go.

As for what kind of sensation will occur after dawn, that's not her concern.
