Two days after settling down, Gu Sheng and the others infiltrated the Prince Mansion once more.
With Luochuan leading the way, they traversed the Prince Mansion unobstructed.
Indeed, in the Princeâs study, they found what the Prince had prepared for Luo Qin.
This object, carved from exquisite jade, was completely translucent and felt icy cold in hand. It appeared dagger-shaped, and when thrust forward, it whipped up piercingly cold winds, rivaling the purple jade dagger.
"I didnât expect the Prince to be so considerate, actually preparing such a fine object."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Luochuan let out a cold laugh.
"He regards Luo Qin as a treasure in his palm; how could he let him lose face? This item was probably acquired through considerable effort."
"Are you saying this item wasnât originally owned by the Prince?"
"Definitely not. He always prefers ostentatious and luxurious things, aside from greedily amassing wealth and treasure. How would he pay attention to such things? This must have been specially prepared for Luo Qin, take it away."
Gu Sheng nodded and directly placed the dagger into his bag.
Just as he turned to leave, Luochuan called out to him.
"Brother Sheng, donât rush."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"Brother Sheng, he has quite a few treasures, all plundered from outside. It would be better for us to take them instead. I know where the items are; once we take them, we can split them."
As soon as he said this, everyone couldnât help but laugh.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Iâve wanted to do this for ages. Just wait for me."
Luochuan quickly headed down a small path, thick with an intense atmosphere. Gu Sheng and the others couldnât follow, so they waited in place.
After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Luochuan laboriously carried out a box.
"Help me, please."
Lan Yao hurriedly stepped forward to assist. Even so, it was still somewhat laborious for the two to carry.
Seeing this, Shi Lou quickly went over to help.
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, Brother Sheng, open the cabinet over there. Thereâs a hidden compartment on the right side. Take out whateverâs inside."
Following his instructions, Gu Sheng indeed found a box.
"Alright, thatâs it, letâs go."
Everyone hoisted the box and followed Luochuan out.
Passing through a courtyard, they clearly heard a womanâs voice from inside.
"Prince, once these death soldiers are trained, have Saint Ya take out White Cloud Sect, and after shaking the Jianghu, eliminate several major sects. Then we can mercilessly plunder wealth and manpower, other sects will naturally be easy to deal with. With death soldiers around, we can conquer Jianghu and then take down Wushuang. The world will be ours."
Finishing her words, the woman giggled.
At this moment, King Luoâs voice was heard.
"The Princess is right. The world will be ours. Then you wonât be just a princess; youâll be the Empress."
As soon as these words came out, they both laughed together, making listeners grind their teeth.
Just as they were about to leave, the woman suddenly giggled while saying: "If it werenât for us dealing with Luochuanâs mother, how could I have become the Empress?"
"Humph, she was just a tool anyway. After use, naturally to be disposed of. As for Luochuan, at least he carries my blood. At that time, weâll spare his life and toss him wherever."
"Are you really not going to care about him?"
"From childhood, have you ever seen me care about him? If it werenât for the fact that he shares my blood, I would have long killed him. Leaving him alive counts as my benevolence."
"Prince, what if he doesnât obey in the future?"
"Does he really think he can stir up trouble? If heâs ungrateful, leave it to Luo Qin. At that time, let Luo Qin decide whether to kill or deal with him."
"Alright, then leave it to our son. Anyway, with Qinâer, it doesnât matter whether he lives or dies."
"Alright, whatever you say."
After they spoke, ambiguous noises rang out from the room.
Everyone spat in disgust and turned to leave.
Just then, Luochuan suddenly stopped them, shoved his belongings into Bai Yuâs hands, and turned into another courtyard.
After half the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Luochuan hurried back.
"Letâs go."
Gu Sheng didnât ask him what he was holding, and instead, followed him away.
Back at the temporary resting place outside the city, Luochuan finally opened the box.
Inside it was filled with womenâs items, leaving everyone bewildered.
"Luochuan, are these whatâs left by your mother?"
"No, the things left by my mother were all destroyed by them. These belong to that wretched woman, brought over as dowry when she married, said to be kept for Luo Qinâs future bride. I hadnât planned on taking her things, but now I think, if I donât take them, no one will."
Saying that, Luochuan lifted the things on top and directly pulled out a stack of property deeds, with over a hundred shops alone.
"Wow, this woman is so wealthy?"
"Some of it she brought herself, and the rest she secretly hoarded later. Anyway, these were prepared for Luo Qin."
"How do you know where these things are? Logically, she should guard them against you?"
"She was guarded against me, but Iâve known where these things are since I was a child. At that time, I stumbled upon them by accident while playing. I didnât say anything, so naturally, she didnât know. I guess I left myself a backup plan. And now, these things all belong to us. Brother Sheng, you open those two boxes and have a look."
Gu Sheng nodded, opening the two boxes one after the other.
As anticipated, they were filled with gold and silver treasures, overflowing from the two large boxes, dazzling everyone.
"The Prince Mansion certainly is wealthy."
"These are just a drop in the bucket. Later, Iâll take you to find more. Brother Sheng, all along, youâve funded us together with Lan Yao. You should take one box, and weâll split the rest."
Thinking about it, Gu Sheng shook his head.
"These things have nothing to do with us; they should originally be yours. You keep them."
