The quick travel journey of the cold heroine
Chapter 181 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (35)
He was whipped again.
Why did Xin Zhuyin always beat such a capable and loyal minister?
Moreover, every time he struck, he would hit the place where others could see it most easily, without giving anyone any face at all.
It is truly a miracle that Xin Zhuyou is still loyal to his king.
"Why were you beaten this time?"
silence.
Xin Zhuyou didn't answer Shui Zhizi's two questions in a row.
This was a situation that had never happened before. Xin Zhuyou always answered Shui Zhizi's questions.
Shui Zhizi noticed something unusual and asked, "Is it related to me again?"
Xin Zhuyou still didn't speak.
"Answer my question." Shui Zhizi stood in front of Xin Zhuyou, staring at him with sharp eyes, not giving him a chance to dodge.
"It's my fault. I promised the queen to send a letter to Dongmeng every six months, but I forgot."
Shui Zhizi was so angry that she laughed, "I remember that I made it very clear at the beginning that all the conditions were proposed to your King Lai.
Even if King You wants to cover up for your king, he should come up with a better excuse."
Shui Zhizi thought that no one in Lai State would remember to send the letter.
Shui Zhizi should have been happy that someone still remembered the promise, but seeing how Xin Zhuyou was devotedly defending his king, Shui Zhizi couldn't help but get angry.
"King You, you promised me that as long as you don't harm Lai State and its people, you will follow my arrangements.
I have done a few things for your country of Lai, but it is not worthy of you, King You. Can you tell me the truth?"
She was really angry. Xin Zhuyou's heart was pounding. He was afraid and felt guilty.
Shui Zhizi was already unhappy in her country, and he didn't want to make her angry again.
"I'm sorry, it was the king who didn't want to send a letter to Dongmeng. I had a few arguments with the king and made him angry."
Shui Zhizi looked at Xin Zhuyou with some surprise. How could such a loyal person like Xin Zhuyou argue with their king?
Why is she a little unconvinced?
Xin Zhuyou found that Shui Zhizi was no longer angry, and then saw that Shui Zhizi's expression was somewhat helpless.
He said to Shui Zhizi seriously: "Queen, I am not as loyal as you think. I have seen the situation of Lai Kingdom later. Queen, I just have no choice."
Xin Zhuyou's words made Shui Zhizi's pupils shrink slightly. What Xin Zhuyou meant was that if there was a king more suitable than Xin Zhuyin, he would be loyal to someone else?
Can I say this to other people?
Without looking at Shui Zhizi's expression, Xin Zhuyou knew what kind of suspicion his words would arouse.
But even though Shui Zhizi was suspicious of him, Xin Zhuyou wanted to let Shui Zhizi know that he was not wholeheartedly on the side of Xin Zhuyin, who was treating her badly.
Xin Zhuyou wanted Shui Zhizi to know that he and Xin Zhuyin were different.
"Queen, I was negligent about the letter. I have already persuaded Your Majesty to write it and it will be sent out soon.
I will definitely fulfill everything I promised you."
"Can you think of a way to stop him from sending it?" Things would be difficult after he sent it.
Xin Zhuyou didn't even ask why and answered "Yes."
"Then don't let him send it. I will handle this matter myself."
"Yes."
"Take care of yourself first in the future. Every time your king breaks his word, you will be whipped. Do you still want to save your dignity?
I can handle these matters myself."
"Yes." But this was something that didn't need to be dealt with. They had clearly discussed it in the first place.
Ultimately, it was his incompetence that prevented him from anticipating this and completely convincing the king.
Shui Zhizi was unaware of Xin Zhuyou's self-blame, but seeing Xin Zhuyou obeying her orders, she came up with a plan.
"No matter what you find out about the assassin, you must not reveal a single word to your king."
"Yes."
Shui Zhizi found it a little funny. Was he really unable to react?
"Does King You know what he has promised?"
Xin Zhuyou's eyes were clear, "Queen, the king's personality requires someone in the court who can compete with him."
This time it was Shui Zhizi who avoided Xin Zhuyou's sight. He really knew everything.
"Can I ask King You a question?"
"Please speak, Queen." There was nothing he couldn't say in front of Shui Zhizi.
"What is all this for?"
Why is he still loyal to Xin Zhuyin even though he is suppressed and humiliated by Xin Zhuyin every day?
Why would he obey the orders of Princess Dongmeng?
Even though Shui Zhizi already had her own answer in her heart, she still wanted to hear Xin Zhuyou say it in person.
"Because I want the people of Lai to live the same life as the people of Dongmeng."
If that's true, I hope Xin Zhuyou's wish will come true.
After getting the answer, Shui Zhizi turned around and got on the carriage. She didn't notice Xin Zhuyou's still trembling lips.
"I hope the queen can live a more relaxed and happy life."
When Yan Guo wanted to ask about planting techniques, Shui Zhizi agreed without making things difficult for anyone.
In fact, such a simple greenhouse cultivation technique is not difficult, and someone will definitely be able to imitate it in two years. So it is worth it to use it to win over another wave of people.
The ceremony of conferring Mei Fei the title of imperial concubine was held with great grandeur. Although Shui Zhizi was not there, she heard everything about the royal court.
Of course, someone else wanted to let Shui Zhizi know about it, but Shui Zhizi did not comment on it.
For a time, the rumor that Princess Dongmeng was stupid, rich and easy to bully spread throughout the capital of Lai State.
First it was the matter of Concubine Mei. The people of Lai thought that their king was going too far, but Princess Dongmeng did not say anything.
As for the assassination, since it was Beiying who did it, the matter was never resolved.
Princess Dongmeng agreed to learn the skills of Yan Guoxue so easily.
But everyone in the capital of Lai State was thinking, no wonder Emperor Dong Meng gave their eldest princess such a large dowry.
You are so stupid. If you don't have a big dowry, you will probably be eaten alive in Lai State.
When rumors were flying all over the capital, someone finally realized something.
The dowry, in addition to what Princess Dong Meng brought, also included annual food.
But a year has passed and there is no sign of food from Dong Meng.
Under the urging of court officials, Xin Zhuyin finally sent Xin Zhuyou to ask about food.
But Xin Zhuyou was turned away.
"Weren't you able to come and go freely at Shui Zhizi's place before? What happened this time?"
Xin Zhuyou dodged the whip calmly, and when it hit his face again, Shui Zhizi wanted to ask again.
"The queen said that this month is the New Year of Dongmeng. According to custom, they do not receive guests during the New Year."
"Bullshit! Don’t you know that they must visit relatives and friends during the New Year?" Xin Zhuyin’s eyes almost popped out.
Xin Zhuyou remained silent. Shui Zhizi said that she wanted to tell everyone clearly that she was just being unreasonable.
Just someone who doesn't want to see the King of Lai's court.
