Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

The Elder collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, cursing between breaths, "Damn it, why is the Old Devout Woman’s coffin so hard to open? I’m exhausted."

The Weirdo knew Xuexue was clever, so he asked, "Girl, do you have any way to open the coffin?"

Xuexue didn’t come tonight for the same reason as them. She had heard the Empress Dowager had many priceless burial items and came specifically to rob them.

Even though she had opened many shops and had plenty of Silver to spend endlessly, who in this world would complain about having too much money? Besides, the Empress Dowager was already dead. So many treasures buried underground is indeed a waste, isn’t it?

Xuexue walked around the coffin a few times, observing it closely from top to bottom. When she squatted down, she noticed a piece of wood slightly protruding from the bottom of the coffin. Normally, people wouldn’t notice it, thinking it was not sanded down by the carpenter.

Xuexue took a handkerchief from her bosom, wrapped it around her hand, then carefully pressed hard on the protruding part of the coffin...

"Bang...!"

The coffin made a loud noise, and the lid on top slowly opened...

The Weirdo and the Elder were dumbfounded, not expecting the coffin to have a mechanism.

Xuexue looked at the white smoke on the handkerchief, feeling extremely lucky she used it; otherwise, she would’ve fallen for it...

It turns out the coffin was smeared with poison, and it was deadly. As soon as the handkerchief touched the coffin, a puff of white smoke rose, and the handkerchief turned black. Clearly, someone had tampered with the coffin’s mechanism.

Xiao Jiu saw the situation and started croaking: "Oh no, that was close, Master almost got poisoned."

"What? What?"

The Weirdo and the Elder didn’t bother looking at the Empress Dowager inside the coffin and rushed towards Xuexue...

"Girl, girl, are you okay?"

Xuexue waved the handkerchief, saying: "Look, the coffin is poisoned. Be careful, both of you."

The Weirdo and the Elder exchanged glances, saying: "Girl, isn’t that strange? We also tapped the coffin so many times just now, why weren’t we poisoned?"

Xuexue glanced at them, casually saying: "Then you should consider yourselves lucky for not hitting the switch."

"Master, could the Old Devout Woman’s body be poisoned too?" The Elder asked the Weirdo.

"Well, it’s hard to say." The Weirdo wasn’t sure either.

He was part of the Imperial Family and understood how much the royals valued their bodies. They might have done something to the corpse to prevent grave robbing; you never know.

The Elder was reluctant, complaining with discontent: "Then didn’t we come here for nothing?"

At this moment, Xiao Jiu started croaking loudly again: "Wow, so much money from the Empress Dowager! Master, Master, come quick, it’s all your favorite."

Xuexue had a black line on her face. What do you mean her favorite? She didn’t like corpses at all. Taking a few steps forward, her eyes lit up instantly. No wonder Xiao Jiu was croaking loudly; the coffin was piled full of gold and silver treasures.

Especially the Empress Dowager’s corpse, from head to toe, was wrapped entirely in layers and layers of jewelry. The clothes on the body were not visible; only a thick layer of jewelry covered the corpse.

Damn, even having money shouldn’t be played this way.

Xuexue almost wanted to leap over and strip all the gold and silver jewelry off the Empress Dowager’s body, but a thread of reason remained in her mind, striving to control her actions.

The coffin’s switch was poisoned. If the gold and silver treasures inside were also poisoned, touching them would result in an instant death, wouldn’t it be a loss rather than a gain?
