She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space

Ever since Xiang Ying had arrived in Nanyue, she never had a chance to leave the Imperial Palace.

Tonight, she was surprisingly taken out of the palace by Lu Feiyi, and no one stopped them.

At first, she thought she had to hide, but Lu Feiyi pulled her onto the carriage and did not avoid anyone at all.

When the carriage left the palace, it was stopped and searched by the imperial guards. The guard who lifted the curtain paused upon seeing Xiang Ying, but after seeing Lu Feiyi, he dropped the curtain and let them go.

Xiang Ying was particularly surprised by this.

She looked at Lu Feiyi, who gave a faint smile.

"The Emperor is now comatose, and the court, both inside and outside, as well as the harem, all obey the Empress alone. I just gave her what she wanted, and now she can be of use to me."

Xiang Ying couldn't help but ask, "I guess the condition for her cooperation with you is that you must support her candidate to ascend the throne as the Emperor of Nanyue?"

Lu Feiyi turned his head to look at her, his smile bright and handsome.

"You guessed correctly."

The Fourth Prince is her legitimate son and the one Ling Su favors for the Crown Prince.

Now, not only is the Emperor seriously ill, but the Fourth Prince also has trouble even standing.

Hence, the Empress would surely choose a puppet prince that she could easily control to be the Emperor in order to consolidate her power.

But the situation in the court is complex, with various powerful factions in control; she has to have strong backing to win.

That's why she has cooperated with Lu Feiyi.

In Xiang Ying's eyes, this was no different from making a deal with a tiger.

She had experienced the moment her nation fell. When the enemy troops marched into the Imperial Palace, any rights she wished to contend for herself became useless.

Because she had no say.

The carriage continued its journey out of the palace, rumbling through the streets and eventually stopped outside a secluded courtyard.

Xiang Ying turned to Lu Feiyi: "Since you say this is Jie Chen's private residence, how are you going to take me inside without his people noticing?"

"Tonight he's absent," Lu Feiyi said indifferently, "The Empress has given the regency to him, and now he's busy in the Imperial Study Room with no time to lift his head or return. As for the guards of this house, my men will take care of them."

As soon as his words fell, several figures in black emerged from beyond the carriage curtain and darted out one by one.

Seeing that they all left, Xiang Ying's eyes, shining like phoenix eyes, flickered with deep thoughts.

All of a sudden, she turned her head to Lu Feiyi and said, "It might take them some time to deal with those people, right? Then I'll take a nap."

Lu Feiyi was slightly taken aback: "Did you not rest well?"

"I can't sleep well in a cell," Xiang Ying explained briefly, and then lay down.

She appeared to be asleep, but in reality, she entered her personal space.

She also released her drone.

At this time, she would not show up to check on the children herself, in case she fell into any traps.

Xiang Ying's drone only needed to follow Lu Feiyi's men to ensure that she could see the children.

The Hidden Guards of Lu Feiyi easily leaped into the courtyard, searching for the children everywhere.

And Xiang Ying, using the invisibility advantage of the drone, directly saw from high above the courtyard where the children were staying.

Her Xiu Xiu was using her small hands to bang on the door.

"Let us out, I'll count to three, and if you don't open the door, I'll kick it down, open up!"

Xiang Xiuxiu went on pounding on the door.

Xiang Ying noticed that the door she was knocking on seemed to be made of iron.

Xiang Xiuxiu, puffed up with anger, raised her foot and kicked the iron door.

With a resounding "clang," the door dented with an indent.

Xiang Ying was even stunned.

Her little daughter was still so impressively strong!

Xiang Yuanshuo and Xiang Yuanlang were wandering around the courtyard, seemingly looking for a way out.

Xiang Yuanshuo put his small hands on his hips. "If you don't come and open the door, I'm going to curse you!"

At that moment, Xiang Ying saw a familiar figure running quickly to the courtyard door.

"Three little ancestors, can't you be quiet for just a moment?"

Xiang Ying was stunned.

Because it wasn't anyone else, but Skinny Monkey.

Xiang Yuanshuo angrily kicked the door. "No, it's not ok! Let us out, I want to find uncle!"

Skinny Monkey soothed them for a few more sentences, then lay on the wall and tossed down the food wrapped in oil paper.

"Three little ancestors, just wait quietly, the master said after this matter is over, he will take you out, it's not safe outside right now."

"Nonsense! I don't want to listen to him, I want my villainous mother!" Xiang Yuanshuo started making a fuss, rolling on the ground.

Xiang Ying was afraid he would hurt himself, so she quickly air-dropped some beef jerky down with a drone.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiang Yuanshuo, who was rolling on the ground, smelled the familiar scent of meat, he suddenly sat up.

He picked up the beef jerky and sniffed at it, his eyes twinkled, and without making a sound, he beckoned the younger siblings to come over with his tiny hands.

Xiang Ying only saw the three little ones huddle together, muttering something, and then Xiang Yuanshuo stood up.

"Skinny Monkey, you can go back now. We've decided to go to sleep, hmph, but if you don't let us out tomorrow, we'll make a scene."

After they spoke, they reached out their hands into the air, as if they knew Xiang Ying was ready to feed them.

Therefore, Xiang Ying immediately air-dropped a few packs of pork jerky with the drone.

Just at this moment, the call of a guard came from not far away—

"Shouhou, go check the east side. The patrolling people haven't come to change shifts, and something must've gone wrong."

"Right away." Skinny Monkey hurried off.

Xiang Ying knew that it was most likely people from Lu Feiyi who went in and drew the attention of those guards.

She emerged from space, then opened her eyes and sat up.

"I suddenly don't feel like checking on the children anymore."

Hearing her say this, Lu Feiyi was a little surprised. "Don't want to check anymore? Aren't you worried about them?"

Xiang Ying feigned contemplation. "Since this is Jie Chen's private residence, if he has detained the children here, he must have a contingency plan. I don't want to alarm him prematurely. With this time, I'd rather take a tour around the city."

Lu Feiyi watched her quietly for a moment, then broke into a smile. "Alright, but we can't return too late, at most half an hour."

"Enough." Xiang Ying nodded.

What she was most concerned about right now was not that Jie Chen had detained the three children in his private residence.

Because she knew that if Lu Feiyi really wanted to cause a divide, if Jie Chen truly intended to kill the three children, there were plenty of opportunities during the banishment, but he didn't act.

So Xiang Ying just needed to ensure the safety of the children.

As for Xiang Li, she must have been transferred to another place. Xiang Ying worried that Lu Feiyi had her appear with the children to lure out Xiang Li.

Thus, she resolutely refused to go in and instead chose to stroll through the marketplace.

Tonight would be for pillaging the city's goods.

The only weakness of the stealth drone was its distance limitation.

When Xiang Ying was previously in the Imperial Palace prison, the drone could only reach the entrance of the palace gate.

Therefore, she needed to silently place a tracker in the marketplace.

This trip around the city was a perfect opportunity.

Xiang Ying got down from the carriage, and Lu Feiyi naturally followed.

Nanyue's marketplace was as bustling as Xizhou's, although she had never seen what Xizhou's night marketplace looked like, she always felt it was quite grand in her memory.

Xiang Ying wandered around the various stalls, and Lu Feiyi leisurely followed her, not far behind, with plainclothes guards scattered nearby.

She found it might not be easy to find a place to put the tracker.

At this moment, however, in the crowd, Xiang Ying caught a glimpse of an unexpected figure.
