The butler quickly got up from his chair and went to open the door.
When the housekeeper opened the door and saw Shen Yingying, she was smiling at him and saying, "Housekeeper, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"Thanks to the Princess, I am doing well."
The housekeeper remembered that Shen Yingying was still outside, so he quickly stepped aside to welcome her into the house.
"Your Highness, please come inside to talk. It's not convenient outside."
Um……
Shen Yingying walked into the house.
"Butler, how's your shopping going these past few days? Nothing else has happened, has anything else?"
Nothing else happened, except that we bought up a lot of goods, which raised prices by a third.
In addition, several officials' residences have been burglarized recently, causing widespread panic.
Upon hearing that something had been stolen, Shen Yingying unconsciously touched the tip of her nose.
She thought to herself: There's nothing I can do, I can't keep those free items out of my possession.
That would make her lose her appetite and be unable to sleep at night.
"The city gates have been heavily guarded these past few days, but thankfully this old servant has taken precautions."
The old servant transported all the purchased supplies to the estate I bought outside the city.
Yesterday, I hired another group of bodyguards from a security escort agency to transport 100 tons of various grains to the desert.
"Butler, you did a good job."
Tomorrow, Ouyang Yuqing and I will be exiled.
Butler, please keep Xiao Tao and that maid who can cook.
Then you select three skilled, strong, and shrewd men from among the guards.
We had them pull three horse-drawn carts, two of which carried supplies and followed us all the way to the northern desert.
"Your Highness, the supplies in these two carts are not enough to get to the desert."
It's alright, I'll arrange for us to go into town to buy it when we reach a town.
"May this old servant accompany you on your journey into exile?"
Butler, this journey will be very difficult. Given that scoundrel of an emperor's character, there will be no peace during this exile.
You're getting old, so don't bother with all that fuss.
Besides, you have more important things to do.
"Your Highness, please feel free to give me any instructions."
Well, after we are exiled, you should pack up the supplies as soon as possible and transport them to the desert.
Steward, once you've escorted all the supplies, you can go to the desert with the escort agency.
We'll all settle there from now on.
You must choose a large place in the desert; we're going to build a castle there.
"Your Highness, are we really going to settle there? It's a barren place."
It's alright, I'll find a way when I get there.
Go ahead and build your castle there.
"Yes, this old servant understands."
Butler, I reckon life must be tough for the people over there in the desert.
If you are building a castle and hiring craftsmen, you can use food to recruit them.
"Yes, Your Highness, this old servant will do as you say."
Yes, don't be too harsh on the food distribution; it's really not easy for the people over there to survive.
"Yes, this old servant understands. Your Highness, you are very kind."
Steward, you're getting on in years; the journey to the desert might be too strenuous. I have a bottle of potion to boost your strength; take it. (Spatial Spirit Spring)
"Your Highness, this is not appropriate. This medicine is so precious. You and the Prince should save it for yourselves and use it slowly."
Using it on an old servant would be a real waste.
"Just take it when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense. The prince and I have plenty more on us."
Well... this old servant will follow the Princess's arrangements.
Shen Yingying took out a glass bottle containing about 100 milliliters of spiritual spring water from her sleeve (in her spatial storage) and handed it to the butler.
"Butler, here's some medicine. Take a small sip when you're exhausted and can't take it anymore."
After drinking it, you'll feel like you have endless energy. Don't be surprised if this happens.
This means the medicine is working, so don't worry about any side effects.
There is no such thing as a side effect from this medicine.
