She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 187: 10th Prince, Ling Yanlan

That night, Xiang Ying was lying in bed.

She first used an invisible drone to send a message with a paper note to the military generals of Xizhou who were under surveillance.

When the drone entered the military camp, Xiang Ying also took the opportunity to scrape off some of the grain they had just transported.

Yes, it’s just like taking action: since I’m already here, I might as well take something else along.

Xiang Ying’s drone approached the sheepfold.

Each of the tall, muscular generals, like bound tigers, were forced to lie on the ground.

There were over a dozen patrols around, and their whips cracked on the generals to vent their anger from time to time.

The generals gritted their teeth and endured, their patience nearly reaching its breaking point.

Xiang Ying surveyed the scene; fortunately, a few days ago, she had unlocked their chains. These people hadn’t found a good chance to escape and were still pretending to be tied up.

These generals could make it! They are all elites from Xizhou.

Xiang Ying felt even more determined to help them.

So, she dropped a piece of paper in front of one of them and then elevated the drone to watch their reactions.

The general suddenly saw a crumpled piece of paper fall in front of him, he raised his eyes in confusion and looked around.

Realizing it wasn’t thrown by a soldier, he quickly pretended to cough and stuffed the paper into his mouth.

After a moment, when the soldier moved away from him, he spit it out.

He had already unrolled the paper with his tongue.

Xiang Ying couldn’t help but admire him for his cleverness.

He avoided using his hands to not arouse the suspicion of patrolling soldiers.

The general glanced at the words on the paper—

Tomorrow at 7 p.m., the governor is hosting a banquet, a good opportunity to escape.

His expression changed, and he quickly held the paper in his mouth again.

Xiang Ying confirmed he knew the plan, and as for how he would tell his companions and how they would decide, she no longer needed to worry about that.

She was just responsible for incapacitating those who went to the banquet tomorrow and then retrieving General Qi’s treasured sword.

Before retrieving the drone, Xiang Ying had it take a look at Jie Chen.

Good, Jie Chen was not in the room.

Back at Governor’s Mansion, Xiang Ying checked on the Sixth Prince, fearing he might cause trouble again.

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince was dallying with a maid.

Such audacity within Governor Lu’s Mansion.

"Tsk, tsk," Xiang Ying shook her head, "compared to Jie Chen, this Lao Liu really falls short."

She was about to operate the drone to leave when she spotted a letter pressed under a book on a nearby table.

The sight of Jie Chen’s handwriting piqued Xiang Ying’s interest.

She quietly used the drone to lift the book that was pressing the letter.

It turned out to be a confidential letter.

Presumably written by a spy, it detailed the behaviors of Jie Chen along the way as he escorted exiled criminals.

Particular attention was paid to whether he had any private contact with the Nanyue Emperor; the investigation concluded there was none.

A sentence in the letter made Xiang Ying raise an eyebrow.

[The Tenth Prince, Ling Yanlan, is still listed in the Royal Genealogy; the Emperor has never given up on him in secret.]

Ling Yanlan... Is that Jie Chen’s real name?

Behind the screen, the Sixth Prince finished his escapade.

Xiang Ying criticized briefly: "Such a quick man."

She quickly operated the drone to press the book back in place and left the room.

Before going to sleep, Xiang Ying mulled over the name Ling Yanlan repeatedly.

She came to a conclusion.

Which good father names their child with the character ’Dislike’ in it?

Once she entered Nanyue Capital, she really wanted to blast Jie Chen’s lousy father.

Xiang Ying slept through the night without dreams, deeply energized.

When she got up in the morning, she was exceptionally excited and even ran a lap around the courtyard.

Waiting for nightfall to take action.

The three little ones were lying in front of the window reading books while watching Xiang Ying circle around them repeatedly.

She even did a couple of somersaults.

Question marks popped up over the three little heads at the same time.

Xiang Xiuxiu rested her chin on her hands: "Mother really is full of energy."

Xiang Yuanlang analyzed coldly: "Her running like that will expose that we’ve been well-fed every day."

Xiang Yuanshuo rubbed his chin with his little hand, thinking: "With villainous mother so excited, it always gives me the feeling that she’s up to no good."

The three little ones exchanged glances and quietly nodded their heads.

It used to be the same when their mother saw handsome men, full of enthusiasm.

Xiang Yuanshuo stretched out a small hand and slammed the window shut.

"We better not watch anymore. It would be bad if she caught us and made us go running."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Ying’s cheerful voice came from outside the window: "Kids, come out and run, life is all about movement."

The three little ones quickly covered their ears and began reading aloud.

Evening arrived.

Xiang Ying, after her bath, was feeling fresh and clean.

The time for the banquet was nearing when she asked Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi to take the three little ones to stay in Seventh Princess Xiang Rongrong’s courtyard.

This was convenient for them to protect each other, as Xiang Ying was planning to intensely harm others.

Moreover, it also allowed her to sneak out of the yard without having to explain to the children what she was going to do.

After settling Tao Xue and the others, Xiang Ying was about to enter the space.

Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door.

Xiang Qianqian’s smiling voice sounded, "Big sister, may I come in?"

Xiang Ying raised an eyebrow.

Can’t restrain herself, going to create trouble again?

"Come in."

Xiang Qianqian was holding a teapot.

She smiled, "Today Governor Lu is hosting those Nanyue military generals, and even we are fortunate enough to get an extra pot of tea and some cake. I thought I’d come share them with big sister. Huh, where are Tao Xue and the others?"

Xiang Ying sat at the table, speaking leisurely, "Tao Xue took the kids out to play. Sorry to disappoint, but I’ve finished everything here, nothing left to share with you, you can go now."

Xiang Qianqian raised her eyelashes, feigning regret, "I see... No worries, may I sit with big sister for a while, have some tea, and chat?"

She placed down the teapot and, true to form, sat down opposite Xiang Ying like an old friend.

Clear signs of ill intentions.

Suddenly, Xiang Ying looked behind her, surprised, "Sixth Prince, what brings you here?"

Xiang Qianqian indeed turned around immediately, only to feel a sharp pain at the back of her neck, and stars burst before her eyes.

Then, clutching her neck, she softly collapsed onto the floor.

Xiang Ying shook her hand.

Knocking out a Xiang Qianqian was too easy.

To prevent her from causing trouble tonight and affecting her own plans, Xiang Ying had intended to tie up Xiang Qianqian.

Luckily, Xiang Qianqian had delivered herself right to her, saving some effort.

Xiang Ying tied up Xiang Qianqian’s hands and feet and stuffed her into an empty wardrobe.

She controlled a drone, went to the front yard, and added laxative powder into the wine vat.

When the drone turned around, it saw Jie Chen arriving with Acid Scholar and Skinny Monkey.

Jie Chen was wearing silver iron armor today, and the armor plates glittered under the evening sunset.

Beneath those sharp brows and starry eyes were a straight nose and thin lips.

He was reserved, and to those coming up to greet him, he had an air of keeping people at a distance.

Only Xiang Ying knew how excellent the abs were beneath that armor, and that the Jie Chen in bed wasn’t as cold as he appeared.

Xiang Ying reminded herself, now was not the time to be infatuated.

She retrieved the drone and hurried out, planning to go to the outer yard to find her brother, Xiang Li.

However, Xiang Ying didn’t know, just after she left, someone secretly entered her room and placed a bowl of medicine on her table.

Not long after, Lu Pancu entered alone, calling out, "Xiang Ying, Xiang Ying? You haven’t applied medicine on me today... where is she?"
