The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 21: The Daughter of a Traitor (21)

No wonder Shui Fengguo suddenly had a daughter not long after the Zuo family got into trouble. But at that time, Shui Fengguo told others that the child was already two years old and that he was the result of a conspiracy when he was away from home two years ago. Now that the mother came to him, he brought the child back.

No one had ever seen the child's mother back then, but no one questioned it. Everyone thought that Shui Fengguo must have killed the person. After all, with Shui Fengguo's temperament, how could he let the person who plotted against him live in the world?

He and the emperor were in a state of collapse at the time when the Zuo family was wiped out and they could not maintain their relationship, so they did not pay close attention to this matter. They also did not think that Shuifengguo would keep the Zuo family's child alive after discovering her.

And this is the evil taste that Shuifeng Kingdom left behind Shui Zhizi. How interesting it is to train the daughter of Zuo family to kill the son of Zuo family.

It will be a great scene to tell them the truth after it is done.

Zuo Zhanting's questions about water gardenia were finally answered.

No wonder his mood becomes strange whenever he is with the Queen. He always can't help but pay attention to the Queen and always wants to believe the Queen.

All this is because of blood, because the queen is his biological sister whom he failed to protect and find!

When this idea came to Zuo Zhanting's mind, he did not resist at all, nor did he have any doubts. He didn't even need to verify it, because his heart had already given him the answer.

Zuo Zhanting was even certain that the Queen had known this fact for a long time, which explained all the Queen's special feelings towards him, and also provided an answer to why the Queen wholeheartedly stood on the Emperor's side.

Zuo Zhanting understood even more the way the Queen looked at him the first time at the banquet.

Zuo Zhanting finally couldn't hold back his tears. How could this happen? His sister had been right under his nose for a long time, but he didn't recognize her.

When he and the emperor heard that Shui Zhizi had become a military general, they even wished that Shui Zhizi would die on the battlefield.

Zuo Zhanting couldn't imagine what he would do if Shui Zhizi really died on the battlefield.

Zuo Zhanting was extremely grateful that he and the emperor were able to suppress the greatest hatred in their hearts and not transfer their hatred towards Shuifeng Kingdom to Shui Zhizi, otherwise he would probably have killed his own sister with his own hands.

Zuo Zhanting couldn't even imagine how Shui Zhizi had survived all these years. How could Shui Fengguo be nice to Zuo's daughter?

How much suffering did Shui Zhizi go through to become what she is today, smart, strong, capable and rational.

Yes, how rational must Shui Zhizi be to not tell anyone, not show anything, and walk alone step by step to where she is today even though she already knew her identity.

She had gained the trust of the emperor and herself through her actions, and was even now helping him and the emperor gain the upper hand in the battle with the Shuifeng Kingdom.

It was obvious that if she told him her true identity, he and the emperor would definitely protect her, but she said nothing. Not only did she not need their protection, but she was protecting them instead.

Zuo Zhanting has such a good sister, but he has not been a good brother. When he was a child, he couldn't protect her and couldn't find her. Now she is right in front of him, but he didn't recognize her.

Although Shui Zhizi's actions all proved that she was on Zuo Zhanting's side and wanted to protect him, Zuo Zhanting couldn't help but wonder if Shui Zhizi was also blaming him, so she would rather be misunderstood than reveal her true identity.

"Mr. Zuo, why are your eyes red?" Doctor Li, who had just come back from washing the dishes, asked the first thing he did when he saw Zuo Zhanting's eyes.

After all, how could General Zuo cry? His red eyes must be caused by some injury to his eyes, which he hadn't noticed before.

This was no small matter. It would be fine if he told the Emperor that he couldn't help the Empress when she asked for help, but it was not okay if he, a royal physician, couldn't even diagnose the disease completely.

Afterwards, Zuo Zhanting witnessed how difficult Doctor Li was. He insisted on examining Zuo Zhanting's eyes. In the end, Zuo Zhanting could only lie on the bed and let Doctor Li do what he wanted.

Zuo Zhanting thought helplessly that Shui Zhizi was probably pestered by Doctor Li on the road at that time and ended up asking Doctor Li to look at her birthmark.

"I want to go back to the military camp." Zuo Zhanting stopped Shui Zhizi, who was leaving after dinner like she did in the previous two days.

Shui Zhizi looked up and met Zuo Zhanting's eyes, "Okay, we'll set off tonight." Zuo Zhanting's eyes told Shui Zhizi that he couldn't wait any longer.

"But Mr. Zuo's injury has only recovered for two days and we don't know how it is going." Doctor Li never thought that the Queen would agree.

"I myself..." Zuo Zhanting did not use the reason he had carefully considered for a long time. Instead, Shui Zhizi was the first to answer Doctor Li's words.

"Master Zuo is not in the mood to rest here. If he has something on his mind, it will affect the treatment effect. Besides, Doctor Li, we don't have enough medicine."

"But……"

"My other injuries have almost healed. I will be careful with the injury on my arm. The army must be in a panic right now. I have to go back quickly."

In fact, Zuo Zhanting wanted to leave on the day Shui Zhizi and Doctor Li came, but he saw that Doctor Li and Shui Zhizi were tired, and later he learned such a shocking secret that he didn't know what to do for a while, so he delayed it until today.

Zuo Zhanting thought he would have to put a lot of effort into convincing Shui Zhizi, but Shui Zhizi's performance was unexpected. But on second thought, this was Shui Zhizi. Just like the emperor said, she was always unexpectedly understanding and could always stand in the other person's shoes to know what the other person wanted most.

But how much suffering did she endure to grow up to be so beautiful?

So they left some money to the family who saved Zuo Zhanting and left quietly at night.

By daybreak, they had just reached the town, which was only an hour's journey away from the military camp, but this was the most dangerous time.

"I don't know what's going on in the army. You and Doctor Li should find a place to rest first. I'll go get some information."

"No need!" Zuo Zhanting's voice was a little loud because he was anxious. After realizing this, Zuo Zhanting immediately lowered his voice. The voice could almost be described as gentle.

Imperial Physician Li sighed for the umpteenth time, it seemed that the Queen's actions this time had deeply touched General Zuo. He had known General Zuo for all these years but had never seen him so gentle.

In the past, General Zuo and the Emperor always appeared in front of him at the same time. The Emperor's emotions were unpredictable and difficult to understand, but he was still approachable.

General Zuo was always silent and stood coldly beside the emperor, sending out a signal from his whole body: Anyone who takes a step forward will die!

However, the Queen's behavior not only touched General Zuo, but before they left the palace, the Emperor also repeatedly told him to protect the Queen. But the Queen didn't need his protection at all.
