The quick travel journey of the cold heroine
Chapter 13: The Daughter of a Traitor (3)
He had never let Shui Zhizi lose control like this before, and Shui Zhizi also made it very clear that she went to the battlefield because Zuo Zhanting would be injured. The first time Shui Zhizi entered his meeting hall, the first person she saw was Zuo Zhanting, and she was willing to bet her life so that Zuo Zhanting would not go to the battlefield.
Shui Zhizi is always so sincere, unconcealed, and so easy to understand. However, Si Qingquan, who easily understood Shui Zhizi, was extremely frustrated.
"Since you know everything, do you think your father will allow you to go to the battlefield?" Shui Fengguo would never let Shui Zhizi disrupt his plans.
"As long as the emperor gives the order, no one will disobey it." Shuifengguo wanted power, but he also wanted legitimate power.
Although Shui Zhizi didn't quite understand Shui Fengguo's contradictory thoughts, he clearly wanted power and even colluded with foreign enemies for power, but he still wanted to be justified and not be scolded by others. But how could he be justified and not be scolded when he had already colluded with the enemy and sold out his country?
But Shui Zhizi knew that as long as Si Qingquan gave the order, Shuifeng Kingdom would have no choice even if it was unwilling.
But by then, Si Qingquan and Zuo Zhanting would have difficulties in the court.
"Then do you think the people of Jin State will let you go?" The people of Shuifeng State and Jin State conspired to get rid of Zuo Zhanting, but Zuo Zhanting did not go to the battlefield. Will the people of Jin State do nothing?
If the people of Jin were so trustworthy, why did they launch wars repeatedly during the period of the alliance between David and Jin?
Shui Zhizi subconsciously lowered her head. Not to mention the people of Jin State, Shui Feng State would be the first one who would not let her go. Shui Feng State had broken her bones with one kick during the last banquet. If she disrupted Shui Feng State's plan this time, he would probably kill her.
But she knew the Water Sealed Nation. Even if it really came to that, her current situation would be better than Zuo Zhanting's. "I can handle it."
"So you think Zhan Ting can't handle it?" Si Qingquan knew that this was very dangerous for Zuo Zhan Ting, but if Zuo Zhan Ting won this time, Zuo Zhan Ting's position among the generals would be unshakable, and their future would be much easier.
Shui Zhizi didn't say anything, but the expression on her face said it all. If it was Zuo Zhanting a few years later, she would definitely not be so worried, but the current Zuo Zhanting might not be able to compete with Shuifeng Kingdom and Jin Kingdom.
Zuo Zhanting finally had the chance to speak. "Empress, I have been fighting against the people of Jin Kingdom since I went to the battlefield. I have gained military merits step by step with my own strength. I will definitely win."
"Your status is no longer the same as before. Neither the prime minister nor other court officials will agree to let you go to the battlefield again. Besides, there are many things in the palace that need your attention. The emperor really needs your help." Originally, Zuo Zhanting wanted to talk about the selection, but he changed his mind when the words came to his lips.
"But this time is different from the past. You have to face more than just Jin Guo." Shui Zhizi has made her words more and more clear.
Being looked at by Shui Zhizi with worried eyes, Zuo Zhanting felt inexplicably sad. It seemed that from the very beginning, his mood would be very different whenever he faced Shui Zhizi.
"How does the Queen know that I have only faced the Jin Kingdom before?" The targeting of the Shuifeng Kingdom did not start this time. The road between him and the Emperor has been difficult from the beginning, so he had to go this time even though he knew it was a trap. They can't be so passive anymore, and David's people can't go through such wars again and again.
Shui Zhizi was speechless. There was something wrong with her. Something went wrong from the moment she realized that she had not discovered Shui Fengguo's plan this time.
She took herself too seriously and overestimated herself. She also underestimated Zuo Zhanting and Shuifengguo.
She just didn't expect that Shuifengguo and Jinguo would collude in advance. Even if she expected it, what could she do? She was not yet able to find out how Shuifengguo and Jinguo were connected, so even if she expected it, she could only watch.
Zuo Zhanting and Si Qingquan have lived well for so many years without Shui Zhizi's help. How could she think that Zuo Zhanting would definitely get into trouble this time? If Zuo Zhanting was so prone to trouble and Si Qingquan was so incompetent, how could they have come to this point?
In the previous life, it was only the two of them who made it to the end. If it weren't for her identity being suddenly revealed, causing Zuo Zhanting and Si Qingquan to lose their composure, they would not have lost.
Why did she feel that Zuo Zhanting and Si Qingquan couldn't do anything without her? She was the one with the problem. She was just an ordinary person. She shouldn't look down on others and look up to herself.
As time passed, the annoyance in Shui Zhizi's eyes became more and more obvious. Zuo Zhanting was suddenly at a loss. He didn't expect that just a few simple words would make Shui Zhizi fall into a long silence and look so sad.
"Queen, please go back. I will come to find you after I am done with my work." It was the first time that Si Qingquan saw Shui Zhizi looking so regretful. His mood was no better than Shui Zhizi's, but he had to stand up now.
Shui Zhizi looked around at the expressions of Zuo Zhanting and Si Qingquan, and finally said to Zuo Zhanting, "Take care, General Zuo. The emperor and I are waiting for your triumphant return."
But in the blink of an eye, Shui Zhizi returned to the state she was in before today. She respectfully bowed to Si Qingquan, apologized, and tactfully made promises.
"Today I have overstepped my bounds. There will not be a next time. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Si Qingquan was almost laughing out of anger. He was really flexible and could correct his mistakes. Because Zuo Zhanting might be in danger, he spoke without thinking and lost his sense of proportion for the first time. But he was able to calm down instantly because of Zuo Zhanting's words.
"Let's go back first." Si Qingquan was able to say this calmly, and he was even shocked at his own calmness.
"Yes."
With Shui Zhizi's departure, the meeting hall fell into a long silence.
Finally, it was Si Qingquan who spoke first. He smiled bitterly and said, "Zhan Ting, you see, the Queen just said those words, but I didn't feel angry at all, nor did I feel threatened. I even couldn't help but feel guilty. I felt guilty that the Queen was only thinking about me, but I still couldn't really let down my guard against her."
"I am even more bothered by the fact that the Queen seems to care more about your safety. Do you think the Queen has cast a curse on me?" Si Qingquan asked sincerely. He really wanted to know why Shui Zhizi could have such a great impact on him in such a short time.
Si Qingquan's question caught Zuo Zhanting off guard. Zuo Zhanting thought the emperor would ask him and the queen whether they were the same old friends. He could feel that the queen's attitude towards him was very strange.
Zuo Zhanting was even prepared for the emperor to question him. But the emperor just asked him with a blank look on his face, which made Zuo Zhanting feel complicated.
Zuo Zhanting was shocked at the great influence the Queen had on the Emperor. He couldn't understand why the Queen was so worried about his safety. What puzzled Zuo Zhanting the most was that he would feel uneasy whenever he met the Queen, and he couldn't help but want to trust the Queen.
