With Zhao Xiyan around, Qi Yue didn't need any climbing rope at all; moving up and down was just a breeze.
Following the planned route, the two first arrived at Qinzheng Hall, collected some items, grabbed the jade seal, and then went to the Emperor's and Empress's residence.
The Emperor naturally wasn't there. In the dimly lit room, the aging Empress was in a deep sleep, with several maids lying beside the bed.
Since it was the Empress's palace, everything in sight was exquisite.
The cups for drinking water were all made of crystal-clear jade, and even the boxes that held fragrance were made of gold.
Other items, like head ornaments, hairpins, and so on, were simply too numerous to detail, overwhelming in their variety and splendor.
Within the jewelry alone, Qi Yue counted eight gold collars.
All the items laid out on the desk were neatly placed in gold bowls with engraved patterns.
There were simply too many marvelous items to count!
