Chapter 267 Force Her to Use Landmines
Xiangying frowned.
"Your father should know that Xining likes to practice martial arts, so why did he give her a sword that looks good but is useless?"
Xiyue laughed, and it was not known whether it was Xiangying’s illusion, but her eyes were full of mockery.
"No reason, because this is what he wants. As a father, he always boasts that his princes are excellent, but such a high-ranking official cannot accept that his daughter is more talented in both civil and military affairs than his sons."
"My elder sister... suffered a lot in order to stick to her own path."
Xiangying was a little confused by her tone.
Princess Xiyue seemed to have a good relationship with Xining, so why did she marry Gao Liang's son?
"Do you know how your sister died?"
"I know," Xiyue answered calmly, "Gao Liang told me after he returned to Beijing that my sister had a strong character and refused to be abducted by bandits, so she committed suicide."
"But I know my sister's personality. She is not afraid of getting wet and is willing to save children who fall into the water. She will not commit suicide for such a simple reason. Someone forced her to death."
"There is only one person who can make my sister die." When she said this, Xiyue's lips trembled uncontrollably.
It was from this moment that Xiangying saw the tremendous anger that she had forcibly suppressed.
Princess Xiyue took two deep breaths and said, "I heard that you were the last person to stay with my elder sister when she passed away. I saved you today not because I sympathize with you, but because I just want to ask you a question."
"My elder sister...did she feel pain when she died? After her body was sent back to the capital, my father immediately ordered the burial. I didn't get to see her for the last time, nor could I see her off for the last time."
Xiangying looked at her, with mixed emotions in his eyes.
"She is unwilling."
Xiyue lowered her head, and crystal clear water stains quickly fell from her face, which she wiped away in the blink of an eye.
"I guessed it," Princess Xiyue still had a decent smile on her face, but it looked so bitter, "My elder sister is a very capable person. If she were a man, she would be the crown prince now. None of the brothers are more capable than her."
At this point, Princess Xiyue's voice sounded a little choked.
Compared to Xining, Xiyue is very good at hiding his emotions and is more introverted and profound.
At this time, the palace maid's low voice came from outside the door: "Princess, they have gone far away."
Princess Xiyue wiped her tears and quickly adjusted her expression.
She said to Xiangying, "You should go back soon. I have already arranged for others to transfer the people guarding outside your house. This is all I can do to help you."
Xiangying paused and nodded: "Thank you."
She walked quickly past Xiyue and just as she was out of the yard, she heard someone running hurriedly past the gate.
Xiangying quickly turned sideways and hid behind the door.
She looked through the gap and saw that the man seemed to be a minister of someone's family. Because he was favored by the emperor, he was wearing a red and purple robe specially authorized by the emperor.
"Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty! My father Gao Liang died suddenly! Your Majesty--" The young man ran away, his voice still filled with tears.
Xiangying was stunned. Is that Gao Liang's son?
She couldn't help but look back, and saw Princess Xiyue standing at the door, standing in the flickering light and shadow.
She must have heard her husband's helpless cries just now, but she did not move at all, and there was no extra expression on her face, like a calm Bodhisattva in the temple.
Xiangying finally understood that Princess Xiyue, like Xining, had her own path to follow.
She wants to avenge her sister in her own way.
Xiangying bowed to Xiyue again, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.
Princess Xiyue watched her agility and disappeared in the blink of an eye. She couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.
The moment Xiangying rushed in from the door, she thought she saw her elder sister coming home.
Perhaps all strong women have a similar aura.
"Sister..." Xiyue called softly, with a suppressed cry and sorrow.
She looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky, especially clear and bright.

Xiangying returned to his room smoothly.
As soon as she lay down, someone came quickly from outside.
The senior palace maid who had come to ask her to change clothes before came again. After knocking on the door and entering, she glanced at Xiangying with a suspicious look.
"You have been here all this time?"
"What else?" Xiangying pretended to be puzzled, "Are you sick? You keep running back and forth. Can't you let me rest?"
The head maid looked around and found nothing suspicious.
She was shocked when she heard that Xiangying had run away, fearing that she would be punished by the emperor.
Now that she is still here, that's good.
"A Western Zhou fugitive has escaped. It's best if you don't do it, because you probably don't know that if you run away, the emperor will be furious and will directly order the killing of all Western Zhou prisoners. Their lives are in your hands."
After the head maid finished speaking, she turned around and led her people away.
Xiangying snorted and didn't care at all.
She entered the space and fully charged the drone first.
To reward myself, I went to make a bowl of chili beef noodles.
While snorting, he walked to the screen to see what was happening to his cartoon characters.
He never expected that Xiangying would actually see them attacking a city at night.
"These Keke Sects, apart from sleeping, they fight?"
Xiangying was extremely surprised and immediately threw a lot of water, food, and medicine into the pot.
Just then, she discovered that her 17th and 18th floors had been unlocked!
Most likely it was the result of looting from the Nanyue treasury.
Xiangying went straight to the seventeenth floor. The entire seventeenth and eighteenth floors were storage space, but there was an additional gunpowder warehouse.
It was filled with explosives and new types of mines.
Xiangying's eyes lit up.
"Land mines are good. One can send them into the sky."
Not only that, she also discovered that the medical warehouse downstairs had also been upgraded.
This time there are more antibiotics and many testing instruments.
She immediately performed some simple operations and was able to check blood and physical examination, which was very useful.
After doing all this, Xiangying left the space happily.
She had already made a plan. After the drone was charged, she would go on to empty the National Treasury and the Imperial Hospital tomorrow.
However, when Xiangying woke up, the senior palace maid came again.
This time she honestly did not ask Xiangying to change her clothes, but told her:
"The emperor is hosting a banquet tonight to entertain King Ai, and you are among those present."
"King Ai?"
Xiangying was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was her shameless father.
"No." She lay down with a cold tone.
The head maid remained calm and said coldly, "Xiangli is your brother, right? He has been kidnapped. If you don't show up tonight, who knows what will happen to him?"
Xiangying sat up suddenly, and the dark clouds in his phoenix eyes rose up fiercely.
"What on earth do you want to do? I told you that I don't have the imperial seal, and you asked your emperor to find that bastard Xiang Yuande!"
The head maid said coldly: "I am only responsible for delivering the message. I can't control the rest. The emperor said that it is up to you whether to go to the banquet tonight."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Xiangying gritted his teeth.
Okay, okay, you force her, right? Then don’t blame her for laying mines!
