"These royals really know how to play tricks..."
Hearing a sound coming from inside the house, Xu Jinhuan used her lightness skill to fly to the roof. After seeing the people inside and hearing their conversation, she sighed with emotion.
At this moment, two people were lying on the bed in the room, dressed only in their undergarments. The man was none other than the powerful Crown Prince Lei Tingyun, and the woman was the Emperor's concubine, Roupin.
"Tingyun, I really can't take it anymore. When will that dog of an emperor die? I want to stand openly by your side," Consort Rou said softly, nestled in Lei Tingyun's arms.
Lei Tingyun looked at Roupin with tenderness in his eyes, "Rou'er, wait a little longer. After I bring down the Wu family and teach my fourth brother and the fifth emperor a lesson, this big battle will be decided by you and me."
Consort Rou pinched Lei Tingyun's cheek in a wronged tone, "Wait, wait again! I've been waiting for so many years, do you really want our son to call Grandpa 'father'?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Tingyun looked at Roupin's belly with great surprise and asked, "Rou'er, are you really pregnant?"
Roupin's face also revealed a hint of joy, and she nodded with a smile, "I've got it. The female physician beside me took my pulse and said that it's been more than a month, so it's very likely to be a boy."
After saying that, she took Lei Tingyun's hand and placed it on her belly, trying to feel the non-existent fetal movement.
Lei Tingyun touched Roupin's flat stomach, then turned his ear to the side and carefully approached her belly, wanting to hear the baby's movements.
But unexpectedly, Consort Rou pushed him back.
"Don't be silly, what if you accidentally crush the baby?" Consort Rou said, seemingly helpless but actually disgusted.
Lei Tingyun nodded with a silly grin, repeatedly assuring her, "Rou'er, don't worry, I will definitely make a name for our son as soon as possible!"
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Consort Rou leaned weakly against Lei Tingyun's chest, a strange smile appearing on her lips.
However, because his beloved was pregnant, Lei Tingyun was so engrossed in his own happiness that he didn't notice anything amiss with Consort Rou.
Xu Jinhuan, on the rooftop, saw everything the two of them did clearly and naturally noticed Roupin's unusual behavior.
She has learned a lot from Su Sanxi these days. Although she can't make disguise masks yet, she has developed a keen eye.
Therefore, Xu Jinhuan could tell at a glance that Consort Rou was wearing a disguise mask.
Relating to their conversation, Xu Jinhuan could only sigh helplessly, "So it seems that the love-struck brain of the Daqian royal family is hereditary!"
However, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Before figuring out who Roupin's master is, Xu Jinhuan has no intention of helping the foolish crown prince expose her true colors.
In order not to alert the enemy, Xu Jinhuan could only regretfully let go of the trouble he was causing the Crown Prince and continue emptying the treasury.
After the move is finished, she'll check to see if Consort Rou has left yet. She's finally made it to the capital, so she's definitely going to make the most of it!
As Xu Jinhuan pondered this, he began to explore other parts of the East Palace.
As she walked, she arrived at the actual storeroom of the Eastern Palace.
If you ask her how she knows, the plaque above the warehouse door clearly states it.
Concealed, Xu Jinhuan walked openly to the entrance of the warehouse in front of the guards, then transformed into a pool of liquid and easily flowed into the Crown Prince's warehouse.
"Wow, no wonder it's the Crown Prince's treasury, it looks so grand, almost as impressive as the Emperor's private treasury. Now, all of this is mine!"
Xu Jinhuan stared with bright eyes at the huge jade stone that was as tall as a small mountain. Even without getting close, she could feel the pure energy emanating from the jade stone.
This prince is truly wasting such a treasure. Such a fine thing should be released; keeping it locked up in the storeroom is a waste of such a precious gem.
As Xu Jinhuan sighed in admiration, she touched the texture of the jade. It was truly the first time she had ever seen such exquisite jade.
In the Crown Prince's private treasury, there was more than one piece of jade of this quality. Xu Jinhuan felt as if he had fallen into a paradise of blessings, he was simply too happy!
Xu Jinhuan carefully put the jade stone, which was as big as a small mountain, into his spatial storage, and then excitedly ran towards the other jade stones.
Hetian jade, Dushan jade, Lantian jade...
These are all hers!
After collecting a large amount of jade, Xu Jinhuan continued to browse the Crown Prince's private treasury.
Lei Tingyun truly lives up to his reputation as the crown prince of Daqian. He clearly enjoys indulging in refined pursuits. The storeroom is filled with countless antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and rare books, each one a treasure.
Xu Jinhuan was overjoyed and put them all into his spatial storage.
"I thought he really didn't like gold and silver, but it turns out he hid them all in a corner."
After collecting all the ancient books, Xu Jinhuan finally saw the boxes made of sandalwood. As soon as she opened them, she was dazzled by their golden light.
The box was filled with gold ingots, absolutely overflowing with them—the scene was simply breathtaking.
Xu Jinhuan opened all the boxes in front of him, and without exception, they were all filled with glittering gold ingots.
She roughly estimated that there were about 200,000 taels of gold in these boxes.
"I'm rich! I'm rich! The God of Wealth has finally come to my house!"
Xu Jinhuan rubbed her hands together happily and continued her moving operation. If anyone needs her to move in the future, she will definitely be a pro.
After moving everything, the warehouse was completely empty. Xu Jinhuan took one last look at his masterpiece and left with a flourish.
Now that we have the gold, it's time to move on to something else.
As Xu Jinhuan thought this, she turned left and right, and after walking for a long time, she finally found her destination—the granary.
Hmph, you want to kill them, huh? Then we'll cut off your food supply!
Xu Jinhuan entered the granary with familiarity and stored all the grain in the warehouse into his own space.
She didn't even bother to check what kinds of things were there; in any case, she didn't leave any for the Crown Prince, letting him starve!
After leaving the granary, Xu Jinhuan went to the East Palace's kitchen. She didn't have much meat in stock, and she had almost finished eating it all these days. It was time to stock up.
Upon entering the kitchen, one immediately feels a warmth unlike anywhere else; the fragrant steam hits one directly in the face.
Xu Jinhuan didn't go to the busy stove area first, but went to the small granary that was the same as the kitchen, which was filled with really good ingredients.
Xu Jinhuan began his shopping spree with a smile, taking away all kinds of dried vegetables, fresh vegetables, and even abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw.
After collecting for a while, Xu Jinhuan finally found the purpose of his trip: freshly slaughtered pork, mutton, and even beef, all chilled on ice.
Xu Jinhuan once again marveled at the Crown Prince's comfortable life. You should know that in ancient times, cattle could not be slaughtered unless something happened to the cattle, in which case they could eat beef.
The fact that the Crown Prince's kitchen openly uses beef shows that they are truly unafraid of being caught out.
However, now all of this will benefit Xu Jinhuan, as she loves beef the most!
After collecting the ingredients from the small granary, Xu Jinhuan went to the kitchen and, with a wave of his hand, put all the food that the chef had just prepared into his space.
"ah!"
"It's haunted!"
