Chapter 287 Jie Chen, this is a trap!
Xiangying guessed that it was most likely that Xie Chen knew about this and forcibly took over the matter of General Zhongyong's imprisonment.
With Jie Chen around, Xiangying is not in a hurry to take action.
Her army of cartoon villains is arriving soon, and Xiangying has more important things to do.
That is, laying mines in the palace.
By then, her followers in the Keke Sect will surely attack the imperial city from outside, and she can detonate the landmines, causing chaos in the inner palace.
Once internal strife breaks out, it will become easier for the external Ke Ke Sect to attack.
She did it right away and released the drone.
For the next two days, Xiangying stayed at home and stayed in his room, concentrating on deploying mines.
The entire Nanyue Imperial Palace is very large, but there are only two main palace gates.
One is facing south, which is the Nanwu Gate; the other one faces north, which is the Beixuan Gate.
Most of the Kekejiao members came from the Nanwu Gate.
But Xiangying wrote on their tactics, suggesting that they attack from both sides at the same time, so that South Vietnam would be caught off guard.
At this moment, people are already complaining about the lack of food supply.
Xiangying has been very busy these two days, and even Jiechen has been very busy as well.
At night he would climb through the window to look for Xiangying, but he would usually only be able to hold her and sleep for an hour and a half before he had to get up and leave.
Now Xie Chen is the regent under the order of the Queen. If he does a good job, he will not be praised, but if he does something wrong, he will definitely be blamed.
The ministers were dissatisfied and the harem was uneasy. Xie Chen, the prince who was the regent, had an extremely difficult job.
Xiangying told him several times not to work so hard and just wait for her to blow up all these people in one fell swoop.
After occupying the Nanyue Palace, the worst that could happen is that they divide the country equally.
Xie Chen just smiled.
"If I hadn't stood in front of you before your people arrived, do you think you could have a good life here?"
As Jie Chen spoke, he put on his clothes and stood up. Xiangying hugged him from behind.
Xie Chen tilted his head slightly and said, "Not today. I have an appointment with several cabinet ministers to discuss matters. I will accompany you next time."
Xiangying certainly knew what he meant by "not being able to do it".
She rubbed Jie Chen's abdominal muscles hard.
"Don't think too much! I just feel sorry for you because you're working so hard."
As he spoke, Xiangying took out an energy pill from the space and placed it in Jie Chen's hand.
"This is an energy supplement. It can keep a person awake for 48 hours, but still keep them energetic. It has no side effects and will not affect the body. However, you can only drink one bottle within three days."
Xie Chen looked down and suddenly said, "Okay."
After he put it away, he left. In the middle of the night, he climbed in through the window.
Xiangying lay down inside as usual, and vaguely heard some rustling noise coming from Jie Chen beside him.
She opened her sleepy eyes and saw Jiechen had taken off his shirt and was drinking a bottle of supplement she had given him.
The transparent water flowed down the corner of his jaw and slid across his rolling Adam's apple.
Xiangying propped up half of his body and sat up, his hair sliding down his fair neck.
"Aren't you going to take a break? Why are you drinking this now?"
"I won't sleep tonight." Jie Chen said, leaning over.
He pressed Xiangying's chin and kissed her directly.
Xiangying was stunned by the kiss.
She reacted: "I didn't give you this medicine for you to use like this. You can only drink it once every three days. Why are you using it for this?"
Jie Chen pressed her into the quilt: "This is also very important."
I have to say that Xiangying admires Jie Chen very much when it comes to time management.
He usually only sleeps for an hour and a half, about three hours, but today he spent it all on her.
When it was just dawn, he carried Sang-young out of the bathtub. Sang-young was already so sleepy that he was about to fall.
She was lying on her stomach and soundly sleeping, so Jie Chen brought the fumigation basket and dried her hair before leaving completely.
The secret guards standing outside the palace were wondering, why did their Tenth Prince delay for an entire stick of incense today?
When Xiangying woke up, it was already noon.
As soon as I opened the window, I saw a blanket of white snow, and goose-feather-like snowflakes were falling from the sky.
Xiangying reached out to take it, pondering secretly.
Her explosives should not be afraid of water, but the fuel lines that were laid in advance are likely to be destroyed by the heavy snow.
Xiangying decided to go out and check it out in advance.
She can now move without restrictions, thanks to Lu Feiyi's tolerance.
However, every time he went out, he was followed by countless palace servants and guards.
It's called following, but it's actually surveillance.
Fortunately, Xiangying didn't plan to do anything, and he wasn't worried about being discovered.
She had a map of the palace and knew where the hidden places were, so she deliberately led the palace servants around in twists and turns in the palace.
Occasionally he would pass by the explosives he had buried, but would just take a look and leave.
Just as she passed a remote courtyard, she heard voices talking inside.
Xiangying stopped and saw a man's figure flashing past through the crack in the door.
She was slightly startled.
I thought I had seen it wrong.
Isn’t that the eldest prince?
However, as far as Xiangying knew, the eldest prince was injured by her last explosion and was recuperating.
When Jie Chen came back yesterday, he mentioned to Xiangying that the eldest prince asked for a lot of medicine because of his serious illness.
However, the palace's medicine warehouse had already been stolen, so Xie Chen had to send people to retrieve it from the medicine warehouse in the city in time.
Xiangying was very confused and was about to go closer to take a look.
The palace maid behind him suddenly took a step forward.
"Princess Xiangying, you should go back. We have been out for long enough."
As she spoke, she closed the door tightly.
It was obvious that he didn't want Xiangying to get closer to check.
Xiangying noted this place: "You are right, I am tired too, let's go back."
She turned and left, and as soon as she returned to the palace, she locked herself in the room again.
Xiangying released the drone directly and headed straight for the courtyard.
When she saw the situation inside clearly, her eyes suddenly widened.
It’s the eldest prince, no doubt about it.
Not only is there the eldest prince, but there are also the eunuchs around the emperor.
They had just finished their conversation when the eldest prince escorted the chief eunuch out of the room.
The chief eunuch bowed and said, "Your Highness, please send it here. You already know the emperor's intention. To avoid delaying things, you'd better not let others see it."
The eldest prince nodded and said, "Please tell my father that I will not let him down."
The chief eunuch said meaningfully: "The fourth prince is no longer useful, and the emperor values the youngest prince so much. I will have to rely on the eldest prince's care in the future."
"I dare not."
Listening to their conversation, Xiangying suddenly frowned.
Well, it turns out that the eldest prince and the old emperor, with all their fainting and serious illness, were just trying to escape.
No wonder Jie Chen, a prince who had nothing to do with the emperor, was appointed as regent. It was obvious that they wanted to pin such a serious crime of theft from the palace and the national treasury on him.
Maybe they want to kill Chen and he is a scapegoat!
No, I have to tell Jie Chen quickly.
Xiangying directly asked the drone to find out the palace where Chen lived.
But unexpectedly, I saw the sour scholar helping to pack the luggage.
Xiangying's heart trembled.
I heard the sour scholar say to the guards beside him: "His Highness is going to the capital to inspect for three days on behalf of the king. You must guard the house and do not allow others to enter."
"yes."
Xiangying thought something was wrong.
If he leaves now, when he comes back, he will have completely fallen into their trap.
I have sorted out the outline and expect to finish the book before the 23rd, so the recent chapter updates may not be so stable, but I will try to finish the rest of the plot by the 23rd ~ Thank you for your support!
