The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 17: The Daughter of a Traitor (7)

This was the first time Shui Zhizi saw Si Qingquan's emotions so out of control. Even on the day he was forced to marry her, he had never been so irritable. In his heart, Zuo Zhanting was very important.

At this moment, Shui Zhizi no longer cared about etiquette, "What exactly is going on?"

"If you fall off the cliff, you don't know whether you live or die." Si Qingquan's teeth chattered with every word he said. That was the friend he grew up with, the brother who was always with him.

Shui Zhizi clenched her fists and tried her best to control her panic. "Your Majesty, you must cheer up. General Zuo will be fine. What we need to do now is to find a way to save him."

"I'm on the battlefield now and there's no one I can trust." When Zuo Zhanting got into trouble, Si Qingquan immediately sent a message to ask people to rescue him, but now there is no one Si Qingquan can trust.

Zuo Zhanting was not injured on the battlefield, but was ambushed while on patrol. If those people were trustworthy, they would not have let Zuo Zhanting encounter such a thing.

So Si Qingquan is now almost at a loss.

Shui Zhizi almost bit her lips, it was the worst case scenario. Shui Zhizi made up her mind and had to take the risk and go that way.

"Your Majesty, we need a child." Shui Zhizi said shockingly.

The huge shock almost overwhelmed Si Qingquan's anger and worry. He never thought that Shui Zhizi would say such a thing under the current circumstances.

In an instant, Si Qingquan thought of all the possibilities. Everything that happened before was pretended by Shui Zhizi. This was the conspiracy of Shui Zhizi and Shui Fengguo. They wanted to catch him off guard after gaining his trust.

Shui Zhizi and Shui Fengguo were threatening him with Zuo Zhanting's life. As long as he made Shui Zhizi pregnant, Zuo Zhanting would come back safely. Shui Fengguo and Shui Zhizi knew very well that he would agree, because Zuo Zhanting was extremely important to him.

Such a guess made Si Qingquan almost breathless. He pushed Shui Zhizi away suddenly, and Shui Zhizi was pushed to the ground without any preparation.

Shui Zhizi realized that Si Qingquan had misunderstood her. She could fully understand the situation, but the grievance in her heart almost overwhelmed her.

Shui Zhizi said that she was sincere to Si Qingquan, and as long as you are sincere, you will inevitably be hurt.

But now it's not that Shui Zhizi never complains about such things. Shui Zhizi knelt in front of Si Qingquan and said, "It doesn't need to be true, it's just the news that has spread."

Si Qingquan regretted it when Shui Zhizi was pushed down, but he still let Shui Zhizi kneel on the ground, waiting for her explanation with a cold face.

This concerns Zuo Zhanting and David's world. Si Qingquan must always stay sober and not act on his emotions.

"Spread the news that I'm pregnant, and then proceed with the selection that has been on hold as soon as possible. It would be best to skip the cumbersome process and directly select a few powerful women to enter the palace. Then I will leave the palace in the name of protecting the pregnancy and go to find General Zuo."

She should have stopped Si Qingquan from postponing the talent show again and again, otherwise she could have saved a lot of time this time. It really is not good to act on emotion.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely bring General Zuo back safely."

Si Qingquan sat down in front of Shui Zhizi in an awkward manner and hugged her tightly to hide his tears. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I really can't do it. I dare not gamble. That's Zhan Ting. I really dare not gamble." This was the first time that Si Qingquan did not call himself "I" in front of Shui Zhizi.

Shui Zhizi listened to Si Qingquan's choking voice and smiled bitterly with resignation. Who made Si Qingquan so pitiful now? Who made her the daughter of Shuifeng Kingdom?

"It's okay, Your Majesty. I understand. It will pass. Everything will be fine."

"But Your Majesty, please do not hesitate any longer. Trust me once. No one is more reliable and more suitable to rescue General Zuo than me. We absolutely cannot lose General Zuo. Without him, we have almost no chance of winning the confrontation with my father."

"And there is another very important matter now. The war with Jin State has reached the most critical moment, but our commander is unknown whether he is alive or dead. If this continues, the survival of the entire David will be in question."

"What if I go to lead the army in person?" This thought has been lingering in Si Qingquan's mind ever since he learned that Zuo Zhanting was missing.

Although Shui Zhizi was surprised, she tried to think about this method calmly. After a long time, Shui Zhizi said in a frustrated tone: "Your Majesty, I can't defend the capital. My identity is special, and your people won't listen to me. I'm afraid that my father will control me as soon as you leave."

After Shui Zhizi finished speaking, the meeting hall fell into silence until Si Qingquan hummed softly a quarter of an hour later.

Two hours after Shui Zhizi left the council hall, Si Qingquan's imperial edict arrived at the home of the Minister of Personnel, appointing the Minister of Personnel's daughter Lin Xuan as a noble concubine and requiring her to enter the palace early the next morning.

In addition to Lin Xuan, the daughters of two ministers who stood on Si Qingquan's side were also made concubines.

The whole government and the public were shocked. They all thought Si Qingquan was crazy. Even though they didn't know whether Zuo Zhanting was alive or dead, Si Qingquan still had the mind to take a concubine.

But soon everyone knew the reason.

As soon as Emperor Si Qingquan issued the imperial edict, Empress Shui Zhizi summoned Prime Minister Shui Fengguo to the palace.

Soon after, all David's courtiers knew a piece of news that made them not know whether to be happy or sad: David's queen, but also the daughter of David's treacherous minister Shuifeng, was pregnant for two months.

Those who stood on the side of Shuifeng State naturally thought that this was a great thing. Their idea of ​​using the emperor to control the princes could finally be realized.

But those who stood on Si Qingquan's side thought this was a bolt from the blue. Si Qingquan's most capable assistant Zuo Zhanting was still unknown whether he was alive or dead, and the queen was actually pregnant. When they closed their eyes, all they could think of were the scenes of Si Qingquan being assassinated and Shui Zhizi and Shui Fengguo taking the throne by holding their young son.

These were no longer something Shui Zhizi should worry about, because on the second day after the news of her pregnancy came out, Shui Zhizi was sent by Shuifengguo to an unknown farm outside the capital to take care of the fetus.

The idea was of course proposed by Shui Zhizi. Shui Zhizi told Shui Fengguo that she had had a reaction some time ago, but she was not sure so she didn't tell anyone.

Who knew that Si Qingquan had noticed something while she was having a meal, and had just tested her in the meeting hall.

Shui Zhizi didn't need to say much about the rest, Shui Fengguo also understood. Si Qingquan and those who supported Si Qingquan would never allow Shui Zhizi to give birth to this child. As long as they were in the palace, no matter how careful they were, this child would be in danger.

What's more, Si Qingquan took in three concubines at once. Not only were their positions not low, but Shuifeng State also knew these three women well, and they were not easy to get along with.

Shui Fengguo was the person who least wanted the child to be in danger. Shui Zhizi only gave a little guidance and Shui Fengguo proposed to take Shui Zhizi out of the palace to take care of the fetus.
