Chapter 58: The Secret Library of the Emperor

There were so many good things in these four palaces. Even though the old emperor, his wife and mother took away the best ones, the rest were also good things. Li Yaoguang was like a rat that had never seen the world and fell into a rice jar.

The emperor was away, and most of the palace servants and guards had gone. The palace was quiet everywhere. Occasionally, there were only two or three kittens guarding a place, and they were very lazy.

Logically speaking, there should be someone on duty at night in such a huge palace, but the door was always locked, with only a team of imperial guards patrolling the corridor outside once an hour. Li Yaoguang's looting was smooth and seamless, so smooth that she couldn't believe it.

I picked and chose among them, and found that the jewelry left behind was good stuff, even if it was something that the ladies didn't like, so I took it.

Those clothes were all very beautiful and luxurious. Li Yaoguang, who could not afford high-end Hanfu in her previous life, had sparkling eyes. She picked out the new ones and took the ones with good materials.
The remaining cloth, satin, quilts, blankets, and even the furs for the kang, no matter what kind of material, were all put into the space and stored in a special place.

As for the ornaments, bowls and plates, and daily utensils, from the large exquisite and grand rare cabinets to the small incense burners that people use daily, the curtains they saw were all very beautiful and felt very good to the touch, so this person, who had never seen the world, collected quite a few.

It is worthy of being a palace. There are so many good things and she wants them all. However, due to limited space, she can only pick out the ones she likes, which are exquisite and practical.

After cleaning up the Qingshou Palace, Li Yaoguang subconsciously went forward. Since she entered from the back door, she didn't know what palace or hall this was, but she did find many terraced warehouses here. There was no gold, silver or jewelry in the warehouses, but all kinds of high-quality deer antlers, ginseng, bird's nests, ganoderma lucidum and other tonics, daily yellow wax and white wax, cloth, silk, fur, pens, ink, paper and inkstones were all available. What made Li Yaoguang feel most fortunate was that she also found a lot of pearls and even coral trees.

"My goodness, this might be the emperor's private vault, right?" None of the stuff inside is bad!
What are you waiting for? Collect it.

Li Yaoguang was no longer picky. In order to completely fit the things in here, she made room for everything. She filled all the shelves and boxes of various fine materials in the warehouse with things. Except for the upstairs warehouse for food, these treasures were stacked in the space according to her specified range. In order to save space, she also threw out some impractical things that she had collected before, and instantly became a master of building blocks. She had to pile things up to the ceiling before she opened another row.

In this way, her space could be greatly expanded, and she was very happy to collect things. The private vault was so large, with so many and complicated things, that Li Yaoguang greedily collected them all. Only then did she realize that it was already bright outside. She felt so sleepy that she couldn't help herself when she relaxed.

No matter what, there are still people in the palace. It is not convenient to move during the day. It is impossible to leave the palace just like that. Food has not been found yet.

Li Yaoguang, who was afraid of dying suddenly again, left this place like a wandering ghost, walking on deserted roads and heading for a secluded palace. He saw a palace that looked old, and the courtyard was overgrown with weeds. Li Yaoguang guessed that this might be the cold palace?
She walked in without thinking much, found a room at random, and without looking at the dusty furnishings inside, she just creaked shut the broken doors and windows, and in the blink of an eye she was inside the space. She set the alarm clock and fell asleep, and slept until noon, waking up before the alarm set on her cellphone even went off.

Li Yaoguang did not continue to stay in bed. She got up as soon as she woke up, went to the kitchen to eat some dry food that she had bought when she left the city, and then left the space. She saw that the sun was shining outside, there was a little snow on the edge of the wall, and birds were chirping and jumping on the branches and on the open, snowless ground. Her mood improved a lot.

If Hu Di hadn't existed, the world would be peaceful and prosperous.

Li Yaoguang stretched lazily, reached out carefully to push the door open and try to get out, but the door refused to cooperate and there was another creaking sound.

Li Yaoguang's scalp tingled, and he thought, I hope she won't be exposed?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a scream of fear coming from the next wall.

"Aunt, I heard noises coming from the cold palace next door again. I'm afraid it's the legendary Concubine Chen's ghost. Come back, come back..." "Shut up. A gentleman should not talk about strange things. In broad daylight, what ghosts are there?"

"But……"

But Li Yaoguang didn't listen. In case the other party came to investigate, she did not forget to clear the dust marks under her feet before hiding in the space.

She took advantage of this time to tidy up the space. No matter whether it was upstairs or downstairs, she classified everything that came in as much as possible, and then lined them up on the roof. Because she could use her spatial mental power, she could also calmly sort out the supplies.

When I came out of the space again, I found that someone had come to this courtyard. I guess it was someone from the neighbor who came to investigate the situation. Unfortunately, I am afraid that the person who came here did not expect that there was really someone here, and he was carrying a golden finger. No matter how fast he came, he could not see the figure. Facing the empty palace, I am afraid he really thought it was haunted? That would be fun!
At this moment, the panic conversation next door just turned into...

"Okay, kid, you must have heard it wrong. It might have been the wind next door."

"Really, auntie?"

"Of course it is. I have asked the eunuch to check. There is no one next door, and there is nothing wrong. You must be young and overthinking. Well, let's not talk about this. Did you learn the embroidery I taught you today?"

"Hehehe, aunt, this, hehe... By the way, aunt, you are the palace order, this is such a good opportunity to go out of the palace, why don't you go out with His Majesty and His Majesty to take a look? It's so good to be able to go out of the palace, if there is a chance, maybe you can see your family! Aunt, my home is in the suburbs of Beijing, it would be great if I could go out."

"I am doing this just to protect you, a little rascal! Okay, I know you miss home, but child, as a palace girl, once you enter the palace, your life and death will be decided by His Majesty. As for leaving the palace, you are still young, so don't even think about it."

Although the older palace maid in green had a mean look on her face, Gong Ling still felt soft-hearted when she saw the naive little apprentice she had chosen herself. Thinking of her past self, she still gave him comfort.

"If you really miss home, you can go find the waterside pavilion in the palace. There is a canal there, and the canal connects to the moat outside the city. Now that His Majesty and His Majesty are not in the palace, the rules of the inner court are also loose. You can fold a few blessing lanterns, light them, and place them in the canal to send them out. If they are lucky, your family may see them. Even if they can't, God knows that you care about your family, and he will surely bless them."

The palace order was originally trying to comfort the young palace maid under her seat, but the young palace maid didn't take it to heart, while Li Yaoguang, who was sitting on the other side of the wall, listened with shining eyes.

Could it be that the canal led to the moat outside the city? If so, wouldn't that be my hope of getting out of the city?

Li Yaoguang was very excited and just wanted to find a way to clear the canal as soon as possible so that he could find a way to leave the city.
