The quick travel journey of the cold heroine
Chapter 23: The Daughter of a Traitor (23)
"As long as you don't tell anyone, I won't be in danger." Shui Zhizi still needed to confirm. "Including the emperor." Shui Zhizi controlled her voice but pointed out Si Qingquan very clearly.
Zuo Zhanting hesitated, but only for a moment. "I will help you keep it a secret from the Emperor."
Shui Zhizi was completely certain, she almost threw herself into Zuo Zhanting's arms. She was finally not alone anymore, and finally someone was helping her.
However, Shui Zhizi just smiled and said to Zuo Zhanting, "I lied to you. The emperor knows everything. His visit to you went more smoothly than expected. You must listen to Doctor Li and take good care of your arm. I don't know what the situation is like in the capital now. I'm going to ask for help so that we can be more relaxed after returning to the capital."
As long as they can catch the enemy by surprise, they are not afraid even if the Shuifeng Kingdom is desperate.
When the emperor said "the emperor knows everything", Zuo Zhanting suddenly realized something. His eyes reddened. She was worthy of being his sister, Zuo Zhanting. She was so smart.
"Protect yourself, I'll wait for you to come back." Zuo Zhanting also wanted to hug his sister and cry, but they both knew it was not the time yet.
"You too, you can't be missing an arm when we meet." It was the first time Shui Zhizi made such a joke to someone.
There was no crying, no complaining of grievances, and they didn't even change the way they addressed each other when the brother and sister reunited. But they both knew that from now on, no matter what they did, there would always be someone standing behind them.
Fortunately, although there was some turmoil in the army, it was eventually suppressed by Zuo Zhanting's men. The people in the army came to pick up Zuo Zhanting as promised, and Doctor Li also followed Zuo Zhanting.
Two days later, Doctor Li sent a message to Shui Zhizi, saying that everything was fine, and the letter to the capital was also sent. So Shui Zhizi went alone to a place no one would have thought of, Hongzhou where Prince Qing Sihe was.
Yes, the reinforcement that Shui Zhizi wanted to call for was Prince Si He of Qing. Everyone thought that Si Qingquan had no other help except Zuo Zhanting, even Si Qingquan himself thought so.
Almost everyone has forgotten that Si Qingquan has a good-for-nothing and dissolute brother, Prince Qing Si He.
A dandy who deceived everyone, he made the client and Shuifeng Kingdom suffer a lot in the previous life. Shuifeng Kingdom was almost defeated, but in the end, because of Shui Zhizi, Si Qingquan and others, they just fell short by that little bit.
Prince Qing, it is said that he even chose his own title because he wanted to live a comfortable and happy life. He is a well-known playboy.
But in fact, he just doesn't like to fight for power and profit, and likes to travel. His greatest pursuit in this life is to visit all the famous mountains and rivers in David and even the world.
Moreover, his fiefdom has something that can help Si Qingquan and Zuo Zhanting win: the army.
Yes, the army!
The previous emperor had few children, and they all fled the palace early. The only one who had the talent to be an emperor, Si Qingquan, was young. In order to make Si Qingquan's future easier, the previous emperor helped Si Qingquan train many assistants, and Shuifengguo was the first among them.
By the time the late emperor discovered the evil ambitions of Shuifeng State, it was too late. Shuifeng State's momentum had already grown stronger.
However, the former emperor was in critical condition, and Zuo Quan, the only general who could contend against the Shuifeng Kingdom, had also encountered an accident.
It was because of the incident with the Zuo family that the late emperor gradually became aware of the problems of the Shuifeng State.
So the late emperor secretly recalled Si Qingquan's biological brother Si He, gave Si He enough supplies, and asked Si He to train a group of people for Si Qingquan, and send them to Si Qingquan if he needed help.
Since it concerns his own empire, Si He naturally has no choice but to do his duty.
Si He once promised the late emperor that he would train a reliable helper for Si Qingquan, but only Si He and the late emperor knew about this.
Later, Si Qingquan ascended the throne. He didn't want his carefree brother to be involved in the right and wrongs of the capital, so he didn't tell Si He about his situation. Of course, Si Qingquan, who knew nothing, didn't think that Si He, who only wanted to travel, could give him any help.
Therefore, in his previous life, Si Qingquan never asked Si He for help. Until the end, it was Si He, who had been paying attention to the situation in the capital, who took the initiative to help.
Why does Shui Zhizi know it so clearly? Because Si He was the client’s husband in previous life!
In his previous life, Shui Fengguo also wanted to use the emperor to control the princes, but his idea was to let Shui Zhizi marry Si He, the playboy, and then after he killed Si Qingquan, he would support Si He, the playboy, to take the throne and achieve his goal.
Si He also thought that if he put Shui Zhizi in Hongzhou, he could help Si Qingquan look after Shui Zhizi, so he took the initiative to deliver it to the door.
As for the big age gap between Si He and Shui Zhizi, no one cares at all.
After marrying Si He, the client took control of almost everything in the Prince Qing's Mansion, excluding the army, of course, because no one except Si He herself knew of the existence of the army.
When the client first got married, Si He was dissatisfied with everything about her, and he was not as good at acting as Si Qingquan, so the client and Si He lived a very exciting life.
But Prince Qing's heart was elsewhere and he had little experience with this kind of struggle. The training of that army was done by reliable people hired by Si He.
Moreover, he thought that he was older and more experienced, and that he was in his own territory, so he looked down on the client.
Therefore, it wasn't long before Prince Qing's Mansion was under the control of the client, and from then on the client used the identity of Princess Qing to do things for the Shuifeng Kingdom outside the capital.
Apart from the sudden appearance of the army which caught the client and the Shuifeng Kingdom off guard for a while, the client had a very smooth time in Prince Qing's Palace.
Before leaving the palace this time, Shui Zhizi told Si Qingquan about this matter. She only said that the Shuifeng Kingdom had sent people to contact Si He before, but was rejected by Si He. However, the people of the Shuifeng Kingdom were ambushed by a mysterious team before leaving Hongzhou.
Of course, the story was false, but after hearing it, Si Qingquan agreed with Shui Zhizi's suggestion to ask Si He for help. Si Qingquan himself knew that after this incident, the day of a showdown with Shui Fengguo was not far away.
If Si He could really help, that would be the best. If not, Si Qingquan actually sent a letter to Si He privately, asking Si He to help him keep Shui Zhizi in Hongzhou. If he and Zuo Zhanting lost in the future, he would let Shui Zhizi hide her identity from then on.
Because according to the arrangement of Shui Zhizi and Si Qingquan, once Shui Zhizi appeared in Hongzhou, it meant that she had found Zuo Zhanting and had sent Zuo Zhanting back to the military camp safely.
Si Qingquan knew very well that Shuifeng Kingdom would never allow Shui Zhizi, who helped him do all these things, to live, and without reinforcements, Si Qingquan could not guarantee that he would win, so he wanted to send Shui Zhizi away early.
Shui Zhizi felt that she was very lucky. Si He was in his fiefdom at the time and did not go out to play. When she took out Si Qingquan's letter, Si He told her the existence of the army without even looking at it twice. He also did not consider bringing his own army to Beijing to help.
