"Your Highness?"
Butler Mu was waiting at the door. When he saw the two of them come out, he hurried forward and asked respectfully.
"To the warehouse!"
Li Xiaochen continued walking and spoke in a calm voice.
"?yes!"
The storeroom? Is the prince going to show the future princess the storeroom to demonstrate the wealth of the royal family? Or is he letting the princess choose the betrothal gifts herself?
Butler Mu became more and more excited. He used to worry a lot when his master was slow to understand, but now that he had, he took swift and decisive action!
This speed is unprecedented and will likely never be repeated!
Thinking of this, the two old men moved their legs even faster, and in the blink of an eye, they left Li Xiaochen and Lin Yuxin behind.
Lin Yuxin blinked, looking at the quick-handed old butler, then at Li Xiaochen walking in front of her, her face full of doubt.
And the curious and numerous gazes from the servants along the way left her completely bewildered.
[This Regent's Palace is acting strangely. Everyone's looking at me like I'm some rare object, as if they've never seen a woman before! But this Li Xiaochen doesn't seem to be as cold-blooded, ruthless, and cruel as the outside world says.]
Judging from the current situation, he's usually quite good to his servants; otherwise, he wouldn't tolerate these servants whispering in front of their master. But…!
Lin Yuxin looked at Li Xiaochen walking ahead, watching his tall back and the path he had walked on, and smiled.
In her past life, she was all alone and never fell in love until her death. In this life, she thought that she would change the fate of her mother and brothers and travel to four countries to see the outside world.
As it turned out, more than half a year had passed since the time traveler arrived. His mother had successfully divorced, his eldest brother hadn't had his legs crippled and had even been promoted, and his maternal grandfather hadn't been forced to go to the battlefield.
At my maternal grandfather's house, my uncles' health was also gradually improving, and it seemed that everything was moving in a positive direction.
She'd thought a lot during this time, and starting a relationship now wasn't out of the question! Even though Li Xiaochen's life was short, didn't she still exist? With her there, Li Xiaochen couldn't die even if he wanted to!
However, after Li Xiaochen reluctantly confessed his feelings once last time, he never mentioned it again, and his face remained cold.
This made her resolve waver a little. She wasn't sure what Li Xiaochen felt for her, whether he liked her or was just teasing her.
No matter who she is, she has lived two lives. Now that she has realized her own feelings, she should take the initiative and win him over first, regardless of whether he has feelings for her or not.
Li Xiaochen, who was walking in front, slowed down after not hearing any movement from the person behind him for a while.
He felt he couldn't quite figure this girl out today. Usually, he could hear what she was thinking from her inner thoughts, but it seemed that after that laugh in the carriage just now, she had become tight-lipped, and he couldn't hear her thoughts even if he wanted to.
This feeling made him uneasy and uncertain. He wanted to take it slow, but if this girl really shut him out, he wouldn't be able to get into her heart!
And so, these two young people, experiencing their first stirrings of love, one filled with countless thoughts, the other filled with trepidation, walked into the warehouse.
Steward Liu had been waiting at the storeroom entrance for quite some time. Upon seeing the Prince and Miss Lin arrive, he smiled kindly at Lin Yuxin and said:
"Your Highness! Here are the keys to the storeroom!"
Lin Yuxin: ...You all knew I just made up my mind to win over your prince? ???
Li Xiaochen: ...Butler Liu, if you scare him away, you might as well retire!
Lin Yuxin stared blankly at Li Xiaochen with a silly grin.
"Hehehe! The steward in the Prince's mansion is really humorous! Hehehe!"
Li Xiaochen pretended to be nonchalant as he took the key from the butler's hand and said:
"You may all leave!"
"Oh! Yes! Your Highness, please guide the Princess to choose carefully and see what kind she likes. This old servant will go and prepare the carriage so that it can be sent back to Miss Lin in a while."
Butler Mu, with a smiling face, said respectfully.
Lin Yuxin: Hehehe!
"Get down now!"
Li Xiaochen was speechless. It seemed he was too lenient with the servants of the Prince's mansion, not giving them any face at all.
However, after this incident, neither of them tacitly corrected the way they addressed Butler Mu.
Anyway, I'll be calling her Princess every day from now on, so I don't mind calling her that earlier.
However, neither of them thought about why the other hadn't corrected the butler.
"Go in!"
Li Xiaochen opened the warehouse with the key, but instead of going in, he stood at the door and gestured for Lin Yuxin to go in.
Lin Yuxin didn't stand on ceremony and went straight in.
The warehouse wasn't very big; everything inside was covered with boxes, except for some large items which were covered with cloth.
But it was packed full. Lin Yuxin looked around, then turned to Li Xiaochen and asked in confusion:
"Your Highness, are you sure this storeroom can hold all those things?"
Li Xiaochen glanced at her as if she were an idiot! Then he went inside, walked to a white jade Buddha statue, raised his hand, and gently turned the statue.
A section of the floor behind the Buddha statue has collapsed, about one meter wide.
"Go down!"
Li Xiaochen raised his chin, gesturing for Lin Yuxin to leave.
Lin Yuxin hesitated for a moment. There was a warehouse within a warehouse?
Li Xiaochen has hidden his treasure quite well! She likes it!
Seeing that she was staring at the tunnel entrance without moving, Li Xiaochen raised an eyebrow and said:
"What? Are you afraid I'll sell you?"
"Your Highness, are you heartless?"
Lin Yuxin looked up at Li Xiaochen, a smile playing on her lips, and whispered something before walking to the tunnel entrance and going down.
Li Xiaochen was left standing there dumbfounded. What did she mean just now?
Li Xiaochen then hurriedly followed.
The shadow guards, who were keeping watch in the shadows, were utterly shocked. Was the prince really serious this time? He had even opened the secret vault for the princess? The things inside were priceless; it seemed the princess couldn't escape now! He had shown the princess his entire fortune!
