She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Draining the Lake, Governor Lu Faints from Crying

Governor Lu nodded, indicating a sense of helplessness.

“The little maid I arranged to send to Xiang Ying not only found that her attitude was the same, but even Crown Prince Xiang Li was as unshakeable as an old monk in meditation.”

The little maid went to deliver water to Xiang Li. Following Governor Lu’s instructions, she repeated to Xiang Li exactly what she had said to Xiang Ying.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Li just sat quietly on the couch, silent.

The little maid was uncertain of his attitude and repeatedly tried to get his attention.

“Your Highness, Your Highness?”

“Don’t disturb me,” Xiang Li spoke calmly and gently, yet with a sense of detachment, “I’m basking in the sun.”

When Governor Lu relayed the message to Sixth Prince exactly as he had learned it, it was clear to see Sixth Prince’s face turning an ashen blue.

“Your Highness, you also recognize Jie Chen’s identity. Although the Emperor never publicly acknowledges it, privately… the Emperor has not ceased inquiring about him, after all, he is also a Prince…”

Unable to withstand the pressure from Sixth Prince, Governor Lu had no choice but to follow his orders.

But as an official caught between two Princes, it was indeed difficult for him.

If one day the Emperor suddenly casts blame, Sixth Prince would be fine, but he would certainly have to bear the responsibility.

Yet his advice only managed to displease the Sixth Prince.

“This Prince’s actions do not need your meddling, and besides, what kind of brother is Jie Chen to me?”
