The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

“Take half of the guards and return to the royal court with us. From tomorrow on, no matter what happens in the royal court, all we have to do is protect ourselves.

Send a message to King You, even if you have to suppress the Sixth Prince by force, you must do it quickly. "

It is imperative to stabilize Lai State before the Dongmeng delegation arrives in Lai State.

"Yes."

As expected, as soon as the news of Xin Zhuyin's death spread, the royal court of Lai Kingdom was in chaos.

The supporters of each prince were equally matched, and they all did the same thing, which was to find Shui Zhizi as the queen.

Almost everyone had the same idea as the Sixth Prince. Even the Second Prince, who already had a wife and concubines, said that as long as Shui Zhizi supported him, he would let Shui Zhizi continue to be the queen.

Shui Zhizi gave a unified answer to everyone who came to her, she wanted to support the sixth prince Xin Zhushi.

So Master Xin Zhu experienced several assassination attempts within two days, but after all, there were more people in the court supporting the Sixth Prince.

Therefore, these assassination attempts did not harm the Sixth Prince, but instead allowed the Sixth Prince to catch hold of evidence against the other princes.

He controlled the other princes at the fastest speed, and even Master Xin Zhu killed a prince in public.

He seemed to think that with Shui Zhizi's support, everything would be fine, so he did things without any scruples or concealment.

While everyone was fighting to the death, only Xin Zhuyou was doing his best to hold Xin Zhuyin's funeral. He didn't take any action.

What surprised and relieved Shui Zhizi was that no one took Xin Zhuyou, the King You who had always been by Xin Zhuyin's side and had made outstanding military achievements, seriously.

Everyone seemed to think that a son of a slave had no chance of ascending the throne.

Shui Zhizi suddenly understood why Xin Zhuyou chose to assist someone who was inferior to him in every way. No matter how well he did, he would never be seen in the eyes of the court officials.

Unfortunately, the court officials miscalculated this time. They forgot the principle that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind.

After the Sixth Prince controlled all his competitors, he rushed directly into Shui Zhizi's bedroom without even notifying anyone.

Shui Zhizi did not blame anyone at all. After making a promise, she asked Yingfu to send the person out respectfully.

"Princess, Prince You and his men are already prepared. If any of the Sixth Prince's men make any unusual movements tomorrow, we will be able to control them immediately."

"What about us here?"

"According to the princess' instructions, we have found the confession written by the assassin who tried to kill you. The imperial physician who tested the poison on the dagger is already in the royal court. We are just waiting for King You to bring the military physician who was disciplined by King Wei to the court tomorrow for a confrontation."

Shui Zhizi breathed a sigh of relief. It was much faster and easier than expected.

How confident must Master Xin Zhu be to use the same poison twice?

The poison in Xin Zhuyin's body was the same as the poison on the dagger of the person who wanted to assassinate her.

Tomorrow his crime of assassinating the king will be confirmed, and then only Prince Xin Zhuyou will be left.

"If nothing unexpected happens, King You will ascend the throne tomorrow. What will the princess do after King You ascends the throne?"

"Make Xin Zhuyou promise that Lai will never initiate a war against other countries again."

Yingfu thought for a moment and said, "In this way, Lai State can always be under the control of Dongmeng. The fifth princess doesn't have to stay."

"Not necessarily. There is still a war with Xilin. If Lai joins the war in the future, they will definitely divide Xilin's territory with Dongmeng. Our emperor may not be reassured."

"What should we do then? Does the Fifth Princess have to stay?"

"If the emperor is still worried if we get King You's promise, then I will stay." Shui Zhizi's eyes were firm.

Yingfu bit her lip. "Princess, do you really have to do this for the Fifth Princess? The Fifth Princess may not appreciate it."

Shui Zhizi shook her head and said, "I just feel that if our emperor is still worried after we have done this, we will not be able to live well when we return.

Even in East Meng, we might as well have a say in Lai. Maybe we can live more easily if we stay in Lai.”

In Dongmeng, although the court and the people respected her as the eldest princess, everyone listened to the emperor Shui Hao.

In Lai State, according to Xin Zhuyou, as long as what she does does not harm the people of Lai State, Xin Zhuyou will listen to her.

"Then the princess still needs to be the queen mother?"

Shui Zhizi was stunned. She remembered what Yingfu said that Xin Zhuyou liked her.

"What do you think?"

Yingfu asked because she had other ideas. She answered immediately, "After three years on the battlefield, King You's feelings for the princess have not changed. I hope the princess has someone she can rely on."

"Let me think about it again." Shui Zhizi said after a long silence.

Remarriage is not an uncommon thing in Laiguo and Dongmeng. In fact, if Xin Zhuyou insisted on letting her stay in Laiguo and marry him like the Sixth Prince, Shui Zhizi would eventually choose to agree.

But now Xin Zhuyou wanted her to stay not because of benefits, but because of feelings, so Shui Zhizi backed off.

She didn't know how long Xin Zhuyou's love would last, and whether she could report the same feelings to Xin Zhuyou.

The next day, the battle for the throne quickly came to an end.

The Sixth Prince has completely controlled the other princes, and Shui Zhizi and Xin Zhuyou produced evidence on the spot that the Sixth Prince had murdered the King.

Outside the royal court was the army that had returned with Xin Zhuyou. When Shui Zhizi suggested that King You ascend the throne and take charge of the situation, everyone was shocked.

Everyone also knew that Xin Zhuyou had won.

"Thank you, Princess." Xin Zhuyou still performed the etiquette of a subject to the queen.

"When is the king going to send me back?" Shui Zhizi stared at Xin Zhuyou.

Shui Zhizi is already an excellent judge of people, and now she is determined to see Xin Zhuyou clearly, so she can't avoid Xin Zhuyou's little tricks.

But in fact, Shui Zhizi didn't need to spend so much effort to understand Xin Zhuyou's thoughts, because Xin Zhuyou was ready to confess.

"The Dongmeng delegation will soon arrive at the capital of Lai State, and they are bringing the fifth princess of Dongmeng with them."

"What do you mean?"

“They should be here to take the princess home. If the princess is willing to wait, I will send her and the delegation away after they enter the capital.

If the princess is unwilling to wait, I will send her to meet the delegation tomorrow."

"You mean you are not going to meet our Dongmeng delegation?"

"There's no need to meet her. I won't let the Fifth Princess stay."

When saying this, Xin Zhuyou looked directly at Shui Zhizi and did not give Shui Zhizi a chance to dodge.

"Princess, if Dong Meng insists on sending someone to keep an eye on Laiguo, I will only accept that person as you."

Finally he said it, Xin Zhuyou was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.

But when Xin Zhuyou guessed Emperor Dong Meng's plan, he decided to fight for himself.

This time, Shui Zhizi clearly saw Xin Zhuyou's unconcealed look.

Shui Zhizi realized that Yingfu was right, Xin Zhuyou had feelings for her.
