She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 40 - I want you
Chapter 40: Chapter 40 I want you
Chapter 40 -40 I want you
Jie Chen watched from a short distance with a cold gaze.
Two Military Supervisors standing beside him wanted to step forward to stop Xiang Ying as they saw her ready to fight at any moment.
But they were stopped by Jie Chen’s hand gesture.
His tone was indifferent, “Let her handle it herself.”
The two Military Supervisors exchanged a glance, wanting to speak but stopped.
They were not worried about Xiang Ying getting hurt.
Over the past few days, anyone could see that the Princess of Xizhou was skilled and ruthless in killing.
They were afraid that Xiang Ying might punch an old lady to death.
Was Jie Jianjun being biased by doing this?
Meanwhile, Empress Dowager Shangguan took a deep breath.
“Fine, since you siblings have no respect for rules, don’t blame me if something happens in the future for not giving you a chance.”
“From now on, we are no longer a family.”
Having said that, her eyes turned cold as she turned back and instructed the concubines surrounding her.
“Remember, don’t ask this honorable elder princess for food in the future, better to starve than bow down; even if she comes to us begging, do not reach out!”
After speaking, Empress Dowager Shangguan was supported by Xiang Qianqian and left.
Others saw Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes appearing indifferent; they too dared not come forward to speak with her.
Tao Xue muttered angrily beside her, “Who would beg them, our Princess is formidable.”
“Brother, why is Empress Dowager Shangguan here alone, where is her son Prince Xuan?” Xiang Ying suddenly remembered this issue.
“Prince Xuan was escorting Father away before the city was breached,” Xiang Li spoke in a low and gentle voice, “Only because Empress Dowager Shangguan is old and left late, she was caught by the pursuers.”
Another case of abandoning family to save oneself.
…
A good night’s sleep.
Xiang Ying woke up after a while, and it was still dark.
She got up to check the anti-parasitic medicine spread around the children.
The forest was damp, and one could always hear the rustling sound of insects, and at night, Xiang Ying also heard snakes moving nearby.
She spread some more medicinal herbs for the children, Tao Xue, and Xiang Li, before Xiang Ying went into the space to organize the supplies.
Half a month into the exile, the food in the space hadn’t even decreased by one-tenth.
Xiang Ying moved to the sixth floor.
Looking at the screen locked to the seventh floor, it still displayed: 20000/80000 items.
To unlock the seventh floor, she needed to accumulate another sixty thousand supplies.
Xiang Ying was somewhat annoyed; when would they reach the next town, and would there be enough supplies available?
As dawn broke, from front to back, the exile team continuously experienced commotion and panic.
The three little ones gnawed on sour cabbage meat buns while blinking their big eyes curiously watching.
Xiang Ying was tending to Xiang Li’s re-bandaged broken arm.
Hearing the frequent cries from ahead, she called Tao Xue, “Go see what’s happening, what’s causing trouble again?”
The forest was too damp, Xiang Li was lying on the wooden cart, his back breaking out in a light rash.
Today she almost wished she could whip the exile team to move faster out of the forest.
Lin Lingxiang came to help Xiang Li clean himself.
Xiang Li still felt a bit uncomfortable.
His chest he usually wiped himself, but now with his left arm broken, he couldn’t reach some areas.
Lin Lingxiang’s expression remained calm, and her voice was very gentle with bright eyes.
“Just treat me as a palace maid serving you, Your Highness.”
“How could I?” Xiang Li slightly frowned, which brought a smile from Lin Lingxiang.
When she wiped his chest, he covered his legs with his clothes.
As she wiped his back, Xiang Li only agreed to take off half of his robe, exposing his shoulders.
Lin Lingxiang felt it improper to open his clothes further.
Xiang Ying saw the two of them dallying like this and was about to step forward to rip open Xiang Li’s clothes for Lin Lingxiang to wipe properly.
Just then, Tao Xue stumbled back, her face pale.
“The Military Doctor was bitten by insects, four or five ticks sucked out blood holes in his body, it’s horrifying! He looks like he’s on the brink of death, the Military Supervisors are trying to figure something out!”
Hearing this, Lin Lingxiang was shocked, her hand holding the handkerchief pressed tightly against Xiang Li’s abs.
He groaned in pain, raising innocent-looking eyes only to see Lin Lingxiang still talking to Xiang Ying, oblivious.
“Our exile team has only one military doctor; if he dies…”
Lin Lingxiang did not dare to finish her thought.
Although the military doctor wouldn’t treat them, it was still better to have someone in the team who knew medical skills than no one at all.
Xiang Yuanshuo, with a bun in his mouth, hummed in agreement, “He deserves it.”
Xiang Ying knew that the military doctor was bitten by insects, most likely due to her eldest son’s doing.
Whom had the military doctor offended that was not as gentle and amiable as a small crow-mouthed one?
“I’ll go have a look.” Xiang Ying asked Tao Xue to look after the children and took the initiative to walk towards the front of the exile team.
Lin Lingxiang looked at Xiang Ying’s back with some worries until Xiang Li gently took her hand away, then Lin Lingxiang returned to her senses.
“Ah!” She exclaimed, her face suddenly flushing red, “I, I just now… I’m sorry, Crown Prince, I didn’t mean to do that.”
“It’s alright.”
The more Xiang Li said it was alright, the more embarrassed Lin Lingxiang felt. She found an excuse to go see Mr. Lin, and hurried away.
The three little ones watched this scene.
Xiang Yuanshuo said, “Did uncle hit Aunt Lin? Why did she cover her face and run?”
Xiang Xiuxiu retorted, “Impossible, uncle never hits anyone!”
At Xiang Ying’s side, she had already reached Jie Chen.
The soldiers surrounded the military doctor, offering various suggestions in a clamorous manner.
However, everything that could have been tried had been tried, including the medicinal herbs carried with the army, but all were to no avail.
Scar Face, seeing Xiang Ying approaching, voluntarily made way for her.
Only when Xiang Ying squeezed through did she see the military doctor lying on the ground, moaning in pain, his clothes lifted to reveal several bloody holes on his abdomen and arm.
What was most terrifying were the antennae of insects protruding from each blood hole.
Since no one knew whether the insect would bite again, no one dared to touch it.
Skinny Monkey kept shaking his head, “This is definitely beyond saving. He is a military doctor and he can’t even cure himself, what can we do?”
A soldier said, “I heard that this insect is called a killer bug. Once it bites someone, it continues to burrow into the flesh!”
The Military Supervisor beside Jie Chen was skeptical, saying, “Why not just pull the bug out?”
As he reached out his hand, the crowd heard Xiang Ying’s voice, “Don’t pull it out, it’s a tick.”
Jie Chen and the soldiers’ eyes all turned to her in unison.
“You recognize this insect?” Jie Chen asked.
Xiang Ying nodded, “It’s a tick. Even if you pull it out, it’s useless, its body has already burrowed into the military doctor’s body.”
When she finished speaking, everyone around felt a chill and fear.
“The military doctor tied medicinal herbs around himself yesterday to no avail. The poisonous insects in this old forest are really evil!”
At that moment, the dying military doctor reached out and grabbed Xiang Ying’s skirt.
His voice was weak, “Save me, you surely know how… It was my fault, I shouldn’t have competed with you for the herbs.”
The military doctor had no choice but to lower his head; everyone else hadn’t been bitten, only he had blood holes drilled in him by the insect.
Xiang Ying folded her arms, her phoenix eyes cold, “I never meddle in affairs, and moreover, I am a criminal now.”
“However,” her tone changed, and she looked up, a faint smile on her red lips, “If Jie Jianjun is willing to plead with me, I might consider helping.”
Xiang Ying, stunningly beautiful and heroic, appeared aloof when not smiling, but quite amicable and harmless when she did smile.
Seeing her smile like this, Jie Chen inexplicably felt tense all over.
He pursed his lips, his tone displeased, “Do you want to die?”
Xiang Ying’s delicate eyelashes fluttered twice, “To save him or not, I will listen to you, but with that attitude, I’m afraid I can’t help.”
The military doctor was almost crying.
“Jie Jianjun, please agree to her! I am the only doctor in the team!”
The other two supervisors also pulled Jie Chen aside to persuade him.
“If she has this ability, let her try.”
“Yes, and considering how beautiful Xiang Ying is, even if she makes excessive demands, it won’t be Brother Jie who loses out.”

Jie Chen’s thin eyes revealed a gaze sharp as a knife.
The two supervisors immediately coughed lightly.
Ultimately, considering that the military doctor was indeed the only doctor.
Jie Chen turned and walked towards Xiang Ying, “What do you want to save him?”
“I want this.” Xiang Ying stretched out her hand, pointing to a spot.
As everyone followed her fingertip, they realized she was pointing at Jie Chen himself.
The soldiers revealed an understanding look.
Jie Chen’s hands tensed, veins bulging, and he rebuked sternly, “Xiang Ying!”
