The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1011 - 849, Vanishing into Thin Air

Daohua had waited in the space for half an hour, counting silently until she was sure no one was around the crate. Then she flashed out of the space, only to be dazzled by the sheer amount of silver in front of her.

Before she could be shocked, her sudden appearance popped the crate open, and the silver inside spilled out, clattering to the ground.

The loud noise frightened Daohua, who quickly looked around. Seeing no one nearby, she let out a sigh of relief and quickly climbed out of the crate.

She was in a spacious tomb chamber, filled with about twenty crates.

Daohua opened a few crates to find that most of them were filled with shimmering silver, while the rest contained glittering gold bars.

"No wonder Xiao Yechi risked his life to return to the capital."

With so much gold and silver, she would have come back to take it too.

After inspecting the silver and gold bars and seeing no marks on them, Daohua quickly transferred the crates into her space. freёwebnoѵel.com

Xiao Yeyang would likely bring people over soon. She could consider the gold and silver as her reward for helping find the treasure.

With this justification, Daohua felt very at ease collecting everything.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Hearing noises from the western entrance of the tomb chamber, Daohua immediately hid behind the eastern entrance. No sooner had she hidden herself than a piercing scream sounded.

"Ah~"

"Where are the crates?"

Several people rushed into the tomb chamber, exchanging confused looks.

"Did you guys move them out?"

"Did you transport them away?"

The group was divided into two factions, one belonging to the Third Prince and the other to the Jiang Family.

Both sides stared at each other with suspicion.

"Our people are still inside collecting jewelry; how would they have time to move anything out?"

"How strange, where did the crates go?"

"There are our people at every entrance to the mausoleum. Whether it was transported out, a quick question will clear it up."

Sensing people approaching her hiding spot, Daohua quickly hid behind a stone sarcophagus, only emerging to start her exploration when they had passed.

The underground mausoleum was vast, with labyrinthine passages. Walking through it, Daohua felt like she was in a maze. The deeper she went, the clearer the sound of ’thumping and banging’ of moving objects.

Following the noise, Daohua found herself at the entrance of a tomb chamber several times larger than the one holding the crates.

Seeing the mountainous piles of gold and jewels in the pit of the chamber, Daohua’s eyes and mouth gaped wide open.

"Poverty has limited my imagination!"

Daohua watched in awe as around twenty sturdy men rapidly filled the crates with gold and jewels.

"What a pity!"

In sight but out of reach.

With regret, Daohua turned away, careful not to disturb the men inside, and headed towards another source of noise.

Soon, Daohua located the origins of the sounds.

A group of sturdy men was laboriously trying to open another tomb chamber door.

"Who’s there?!"

Suddenly, a stern voice called out from behind her. Daohua turned around to see a middle-aged man, looking like a butler, glaring furiously at her.

Without a word, Daohua dashed into the adjacent tomb chamber.

"Quick, someone’s broken in, catch them!"

Daohua swiftly navigated through the tomb chambers and, upon seeing an open sarcophagus, thoughtlessly prepared to crawl into it to hide in the space.

However, just as her legs entered the sarcophagus, someone held her by the shoulders.

Daohua’s heart tightened, and she raised her hand to throw the Soft Muscle Powder she was holding.

"It’s me!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Daohua’s panicked heart immediately calmed down, and she turned to see Xiao Yeyang looking at her with concern.

"You came!"

Daohua hugged Xiao Yeyang joyfully.

Xiao Yeyang lifted Daohua out of the sarcophagus, looked her up and down to ensure she was alright, and only then did his tense expression relax.

At that moment, those chasing Daohua arrived.

"Xiao Yeyang, they want to capture me."

Daohua quickly tattled and then deftly hid behind Xiao Yeyang, scattering the Soft Muscle Powder from her hand as well.

As the powder filled the air, Xiao Yeyang, holding Daohua, quickly retreated several steps to avoid getting affected by it.

A few people, moving too quickly, inhaled the powder and collapsed on the spot.

The butler did not even bother with his subordinates who had fallen; seeing Xiao Yeyang, a look of terror crossed his face, and he turned and ran.

"Aren’t you going to chase him?"

Seeing the butler disappear with his men in the blink of an eye, Daohua looked questioningly at Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang said, "This place has already been surrounded by the Jinling Guard; they won’t be able to escape. For now, let me get you out of here."

Daohua appeared hesitant and tugged at Xiao Yeyang’s sleeve, "There is a lot of gold and jewels in here."

Seeing that Daohua was not frightened but rather concerned about the treasures, Xiao Yeyang’s worry finally settled, and he chuckled,

"Don’t worry, I’ll keep the good jewelry for you. Right now, we need to get out; this abandoned Imperial Mausoleum is not safe as parts of it have already collapsed."

Daohua nodded hurriedly, "Then let’s not stay here anymore, come with me. I’m scared." Saying this, she wrapped her arms around Xiao Yeyang’s neck, signaling him to carry her out.

Xiao Yeyang smiled and picked her up horizontally, "That sounds good. Let’s leave this to the Commander and head back to handle our own affairs."

Daohua puzzled, "Our own affairs?"

Xiao Yeyang’s smile turned cold, "Being abducted from the Prince Residence, do you think it possible without someone insiders conspiring? Could it?"

Daohua’s eyes widened, "Someone in the Prince Residence is trying to harm me? Is it Xiao Yechen or Madam Jiang?" She quickly mentioned the third prince.

"It was the third prince who sent people to capture me, I hid in a box when they weren’t watching, intending to escape when they left, but unexpectedly, I ended up being transported here."

Xiao Yeyang’s expression darkened, "The third prince... seems he really wants to stick to his treacherous path. If Uncle Emperor knows he’s conspiring with the Jiang Family to dig treasures, he can forget about ever making a comeback."

Saying this, he shook Daohua gently and looked at her helplessly.

"You really don’t know whether your luck is good or bad, do you? Bad luck for leading us to the treasure, good luck for getting knocked out and kidnapped."

Daohua sighed, "Who knows."

Xiao Yeyang became serious, "From now on, even within the Prince Residence, you must keep Mei Lan and Mei Ju with you."

Daohua nodded, "Understood." After this incident, she couldn’t be careless.

...

In the Prince An Residence.

Gao Yuan and Gao Fang were utterly terrified upon learning that De Fu had found the buried maids with their men.

Their master had conspired with the third prince to kidnap the Crown Princess; they didn’t know what their lord would do, but they were certain of their own inevitable death.

Xiao Yechen cast a disdainful glance at the two, "Look at your pathetic selves. What’s it to you if they find the maids’ bodies? You haven’t left any traces behind, Xiao Yeyang will not be able to link this to you."

As he spoke, a maid entered to report, "Master, the Crown Prince has returned."
