Chapter 481: The Thousand-Year-Old (2)
Wen Wan glanced at her living place, which was not bad. Moreover, what she had kicked down last night was actually a jade pillow, which was worth a lot of money. She couldn't let it break, so Wen Wan quickly picked up the jade pillow.
My baby gave me a kiss.
Xiao Cui was truly distressed to see her master like this.
Holding the jade pillow given to her by the Empress, Xiao Cui's eyes instantly reddened.
"Xiao Cui, how much is this worth?"
Xiao Cui: "???"
"Master? This is your favorite jade pillow, the one you've used since you were a baby."
“So it must be valuable. You should sell it, Xiao Cui. We’re almost starving. What are we doing holding onto this jade pillow? Look around the room and sell everything that can be sold.”
"Master?" Xiao Cui burst into tears. Wen Wan touched Xiao Cui's face. "Why are you crying? These are just material possessions. We must protect ourselves first and make sure we can survive. Otherwise, I might starve to death before my mother comes to save me. At that time, I won't be able to take these things with me, and they will just benefit others."
"Pah, pah, pah, Master, don't talk nonsense. When you were born, auspicious clouds filled most of the imperial city, accompanied by the roar of dragons. You are the future chosen one of heaven, don't talk nonsense."
Wen Yan: "..."
Is there also this part?
Wen Wan asked the system, and the system said, "You and the female lead share the same birthday, so the celestial phenomenon might be related to the female lead, after all, she is the mother of the nation."
Wen Wan: I see, that makes sense.
"Then I can't die. I want to take back what I deserve. So I can't live a miserable life like some people want. I have to live well and hurt their hearts."
"Your Majesty, you've finally figured it out. But these things are all stored in the palace, and no one dares to take them."
"Then what should we do?"
"Your Majesty need not worry. Nobles in the palace often buy and sell things, so there are naturally hidden passages. Let's keep this jade pillow. As for the others, Xiao Cui will find a way."
"Okay, thank goodness you're here."
"It's good that Master trusts Xiao Cui."
"Of course, you're the only person I trust in the palace,"
Xiao Cui was moved again, and then the two of them began to pack their things. Xiao Cui was the one who packed, while Wen Wan watched, since she wasn't really familiar with what the original owner had.
Although the original owner of this body has now been banished to the cold palace, the emperor wouldn't be so harsh as to leave him truly penniless. He still had quite a few things to pack up, and Xiao Cui was still a little hesitant. "Master, do you really want to sell all of these things? These things were given to you by the emperor and empress, and you like them very much."
"Sell."
In the end, these items were sold. In order to avoid attracting attention, Xiao Cui only sold a few items at a time. Wen Wan knew the meaning of not flaunting wealth and living a low-key life, so she did not live a life of luxury from the beginning. Instead, she had Xiao Cui hide the money, and even deposited some of it directly into a money exchange. Naturally, she did not use the original owner's name, but the name of a deceased relative of Xiao Cui.
Then Wen Wan asked Xiao Cui to buy some vegetable seeds and three chickens. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't sell pigs and it was inconvenient, Wen Wan would have even considered raising two pigs.
With such a large yard, it would be a waste not to raise livestock.
Besides, we still need to be self-sufficient now.
Wen Wan also remembered the male lead. She had been working so hard these past few days that she had almost forgotten about him.
Where is Gu Li?
Xiao Cui: "Gu Li is still recovering from his injuries. Tomorrow, I will have him come to serve you, Master."
She didn't think her master was wrong; he was just a eunuch. It has to be said that although Wen Wan didn't like this idea, she couldn't change this deeply ingrained thought.
Besides, the male lead wasn't dead; he still had the strength to assassinate her. If she hadn't transmigrated, he would have been dead long ago.
"Buy him some medicine and send it over, lest he die."
Xiao Cui: "Yes, Master."
Wen Wan continued to grow vegetables. In addition to several common vegetables, she also planted chili peppers. She never expected that chili peppers existed in this world. With the system, which was like an encyclopedia, Wen Wan encountered almost no difficulties.
Xiao Cui was shocked. How did her master know how to plant these things?
Wen Wan quickly gave her reason, "When I was the crown prince, my father taught me that agriculture is the foundation of the country, so I naturally read many books about farming."
"Don't be sad, Master. One day, you will take back everything that belongs to you."
In Xiao Cui's heart, her master was the crown prince, the future emperor. Even though she knew her master's true gender, it did not affect her loyalty to him.
Afterwards, they fenced off another area and put the three chicks in there to raise.
Wen Wan smiled.
At least we have meat and vegetables now, so we won't starve.
At this moment, Gu Li, who was standing by the door, looked at everything with mixed feelings. His eyes were fixed on the Crown Prince, who was grinning foolishly at the chickens in the center of the courtyard, as he thought about what had happened that day.
He never expected that the former Crown Prince was actually a woman.
If this gets out, it will be a disgrace to the royal family, and Qi Yu will definitely not survive.
He should have been happy to reveal the secret and then easily destroy the tyrannical former crown prince. However, for some reason, when he thought about that night when he had strangled the man to death, Qi Yu actually came back to life and even struggled and made a sound when he relaxed his grip, he had no choice but to give up and leave.
These past few days, he's been waiting for Qi Yu to fly into a rage, waiting for Qi Yu to get furious and then come after him to vent her anger.
Who would have thought that after a few days, nothing happened, but he also learned that Qi Yu was actually having her personal maid sell valuable gold, silver and jade, and that she was also growing vegetables and raising chickens in the courtyard.
He came over out of curiosity to take a look.
And that's what I saw.
Gu Li left. He had no interest in knowing what this deposed crown prince was up to. In any case, he wasn't a good person. If she dared to provoke him, he could send her to the deepest hell in an instant.
Wen Wan suddenly felt a layer of sweat on her back, and then she suddenly turned around and looked towards a corner.
"What's wrong, Master?" Xiao Cui asked.
Wen Wan: "It's nothing."
Since becoming wealthy, Wen Wan and Xiao Cui's lives have improved considerably. Although they don't flaunt their wealth, they can at least enjoy simple and clean meals. Wen Wan also made sure to have Xiao Cui deliver some warmth to the male protagonist who is currently "seriously ill."
Hopefully, the male protagonist will soon realize that he has reformed and will stop thinking about killing himself.
...
Two days later.
Xiao Cui brought Gu Li to see her.
This was the first time Wen Wan had seen the male lead. He was... a little too handsome. The book even mentioned that countless people were drawn to his good looks on his career path, and many concubines in the harem secretly wanted to take Gu Li into their own harem.
As expected of you, male lead.
He was undeniably thin, his face deathly pale, the kind of sickly beauty who looked like a gust of wind could blow him away. Wen Wan felt a shameful pity for him, inwardly screaming, "What did he do wrong? It was the original owner of this body who was tortured, what does it have to do with her, an outsider?" She even began to resent the original owner. Such a handsome face, such a delicate and beautiful man, how could she possibly have the heart to torment him? She really had no heart!
