She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 13 - Who is the Father of the Child?
Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Who is the Father of the Child?
Xiang Ying's mind raced swiftly.
She didn't see the Jade Seal while looting.
But Jie Chen felt the Jade Seal was on her; there must be a reason.
She quickly recalled the memories of the original host, but it was all about handsome men and drinking for pleasure.
There were absolutely no memories related to the Jade Seal.
"The Jade Seal is not on me."
Jie Chen stared at her with a cold face.
"Before the Emperor Xizhou fled, he specially instructed the eunuch close to him to leave the Jade Seal with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ying internally cursed that unfamiliar turtle father three hundred times.
That dog emperor just ran away, and he purposely spread words that he gave the Jade Seal to her?
Clearly, he wanted to make her a target!
Even if she said she didn't have it, Jie Chen likely wouldn't believe her.
Xiang Ying's eyes shifted as she said, "I hid the Jade Seal in a safe place. If you ensure my safety along the way, once we reach Nanyue, I will tell you where the Jade Seal is hidden."
Jie Chen sneered, "Lies upon lies, trying to find a chance to escape, right?"
Xiang Ying pursed her red lips, "If I wanted to run, I would've done so long ago. Do you think those weak soldiers could stop me?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree, I can use the Jade Seal to exchange for my freedom with the Nanyue Emperor."
Jie Chen's eyes turned even colder after hearing this.
His tone was chilling, "Is that so. Then let us wait and see. On the upcoming journey, fend for yourself."
Xiang Ying was free to leave now.
She pondered inwardly.
The whole of Xizhou had been conquered by Nanyue, what importance did one piece of Jade Seal hold?
She couldn't figure it out for now.
Taking a couple of steps, Xiang Ying suddenly stopped, "By the way, since you and I have a profound connection, do you know who the father of my children is?"
Jie Chen's face instantly turned uglier than before, extremely livid.
His fists clenched tightly with a creaking sound.
Xiang Ying hesitated for a moment, "What, is one of them yours? Or are all three yours?"
She looked at the three children, who were around the same age. Although they did not look alike, she guessed they were triplets born in one pregnancy, non-identical but from the same birth.
Jie Chen raged, "Get lost! Leave right now!"
Under the moonlight, Xiang Ying's palm-sized face, was stunningly gallant.
She felt very innocent.
Even asking is not allowed? Why is he so sensitive.
"What about my bear skin..."
"No one wants it!"
After Jie Chen spoke, Xiang Ying finally walked down the hillside with peace of mind.
As soon as she appeared, the soldiers who had been chatting lively all fell silent.
Everyone looked at her with bright eyes, Xiang Ying's cheeks showing a slight red from the fight earlier.
She was naturally beautiful and spirited, looking like she had gone through an indescribable ordeal.
In the soldiers' eyes, she went from being Huang Huzi's person to Jie's Military Supervisor's person.
This woman really climbs ranks through sleeping around...
Xiang Ying ignored their gazes, gestured with her hand, signaling Huang Huzi to come over.
Huang Huzi approached her, Xiang Ying whispered lowly, "Who snitched?"
"I...I don't know..." Huang Huzi pretended ignorance but then extended his hand, "elder princess, isn't it time to give the antidote?"
Xiang Ying shot him a glance, pulled out a small piece of brown sugar from her sleeve, and handed it to him.
Watching Huang Huzi pop it into his mouth, she coldly said, "Can you talk now?"
Huang Huzi rubbed his hands and smiled, "You're really capable, not only did you subdue the black bear, but you also won over the Military Supervisor."
"Less nonsense! Get to the point."
"Oh, the person is your relative, I heard from others, she's the Fifth Princess."
It really was her.
A flame of rage ignited in Xiang Ying's eyes, "That's all from you, the bear skin supervisor has agreed to stay with me."
She walked directly towards Tao Xue and the three children.
Huang Huzi clasped his hands in apology, laughing, and only after Xiang Ying was far away did he haughtily spit the sugar cube back into his palm.
He pinched it between his fingers, "What exactly is this?"
The first time he ate it, he felt something was off, how could it be so sweet.
Is this what an antidote tastes like?
This time, he kept vigilant, planning to find a knowledgeable person to inquire.
Seeing Xiang Ying return, Tao Xue quickly pulled the three children to her.
"elder princess! You, you're back, did the Military Supervisor give you a hard time?"
Xiang Yuanshuo saw some black smudge on Xiang Ying's hand.
He hurriedly wiped it off with his sleeve.
Xiang Yuanlang still had that silent expression, only staring at her with his dark eyes.
"Mom~" Xiang Xiuxiu directly plunged into Xiang Ying's embrace, tightly hugging her with her little hands.
Among the three children, her eyes were the reddest, likely from crying.
In the little girl's heart, Xiang Ying had become the only person they could rely on.
Xiang Ying reached out, brushed away the stray hairs on Xiang Xiuxiu's forehead.
"Don't cry, mom is fine, the Military Supervisor is reasonable."
"About that bear skin..." Tao Xue asked.
"The bear skin was also left behind."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding concubines couldn't help but show envious expressions.
The Seventh Princess even went over to flatter her: "Big sister is really incredible, you always succeed in whatever you do."
Sitting on a stone nearby, Xiang Qianqian was displeased.
She adjusted her tangled hair with her hands, dissatisfaction evident in her tone, "Seventh Sister, what are you envious of? If you are willing to sacrifice your own body and chastity, you could also have it easy!"
"It's just that we are not so shameless, afraid of disgracing our ancestors. Even if the country is destroyed, a princess must maintain her dignity."
The Seventh Princess frowned, not wanting to engage in an argument.
However, Xiang Ying strode over to Xiang Qianqian.
Seeing Xiang Ying's posture, Xiang Qianqian was startled.
"Big sister, what are you trying to do? Ah—!"
She screamed miserably as Xiang Ying grabbed her by the collar and dragged her to the bonfire.
Xiang Ying picked up a burning red stick and pressed it close to her eyes.
Xiang Qianqian's face turned pale from fright, screaming in terror.
"You're crazy, let go of me, let go! Help! Team Leader, Team Leader! Big sister wants to kill someone!"
The surrounding soldiers, however, did not intervene, merely giving a cold glance and remaining indifferent.
The seated concubines who wanted to stand up and speak on her behalf were pulled back by Yu Pin.
Yu Pin said, "I nearly died by her hand, the elder princess should teach the Fifth Princess a lesson!"
Xiang Qianqian was pinned down by her head, unable to dodge.
The heat from the fire stick made her tears flow and burn.
Xiang Ying coldly said, "Xiang Qianqian, whatever grievances we had before, I can't be bothered to care."
"But since the exile started, you've been troubling me time and again, do you think I'm made of mud? That I have such a good temperament to endure you?"

"You reported me to the Military Supervisor, you such a traitor have the nerve to talk about dignity!"
"Let me tell you, if you dare to provoke me again, I'll cripple you, the way the Sixth Princess died, your end wouldn't be better!"
Xiang Qianqian then realized, Xiang Ying truly might kill her.
So she could only cry and admit her fault, "I was wrong, big sister, I won't dare ever again!"
Only then did Xiang Ying let her go, and Xiang Qianqian scrambled away from the bonfire, shaking with a frightened expression.
Tao Xue couldn't help but say, "That's relieving, she should have been dealt with like this long ago."
Xiang Yuanshuo even sneered fiercely, "Serves her right! Big villain."
Xiang Ying then embraced the three children, at which point Xiang Yuanshuo's little tummy started rumbling.
He hurriedly held his little tummy, pointing at Xiang Yuanlang, "Second brother, are you hungry? Your tummy is talking."
Xiang Yuanlang widened his eyes, an unjustly aggrieved look on his face.
Even so, he did not speak up to defend himself.
Yet, it caused Xiang Ying to start laughing.
"Tao Xue, make a fire, let's slice up the bear meat and have a barbecue!"
Watching them live so well, Xiang Qianqian wiped her tears and walked away.
She sat down behind a tree, feeling more aggrieved the more she thought, grinding her teeth in hatred towards Xiang Ying.
But she couldn't beat her.
At that moment, a dark hand beside her offered her something.
"You help me see, what is this?"
Xiang Qianqian jumped in fright, turning back to see it was Huang Huzi.
"Team Leader, why is it you..."
Huang Huzi cautiously watched Xiang Ying from a distance, fearful of her noticing.
"You are a Princess of Xizhou too, you should have seen this thing, tell me what it is, I promise I won't make things difficult for you afterwards."
Hearing this, Xiang Qianqian took the piece, looked at it curiously.
"This... this is a piece of brown sugar."
"What? Sugar? Are you sure?!"
"Sure, haven't you seen sugar before?"
In ordinary people's homes, sugar and salt might be precious, but in the Imperial Palace, there was as much as one wanted.
Huang Huzi angrily threw the brown sugar.
"Damn it, I was indeed deceived!" What poisoning, it was all fake.
No wonder, he only felt unwell for a moment, afterwards like nothing was wrong.
Xiang Ying, wait for it!
