The quick travel journey of the cold heroine
Chapter 24: The Daughter of a Traitor (24)
Everything went smoothly. Shui Zhizi originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince Si He of her identity. Of course, this was because another letter prepared by Si Qingquan himself had already reached Si He when Shui Zhizi was still with Zuo Zhanting.
Si He had naturally heard of Shui Zhizi's name, so he found it amazing that Shui Zhizi would help his brother. However, he did not understand these things very well and did not want to get involved. Since his brother asked for help, he would just hand the person over to his brother as he had promised his father.
As for keeping Shui Zhizi, Si He didn't consider it at all. Since he had already provided military help, he should let Shui Zhizi return to Beijing. Someone that his brother protected so much would definitely stay with him in the end, so he wouldn't make things worse.
However, in the end, Si He led the army back to Beijing alone. According to Shui Zhizi's suggestion, the army was divided into two parts. One team went back in the name of escorting Si He back to Beijing, and the other small team disguised themselves as ordinary people and entered Beijing secretly.
Shui Zhizi rode back to the capital at full speed. She had been away from the capital for nearly two months and didn't know what the situation was like in the capital.
It would be best if Si Qingquan could hold Shuifengguo back and Shuifengguo didn't go to the manor, and everything remained unexposed.
If this is the case, Shui Zhizi is going to continue staying at the manor to buy time for Zuo Zhanting and the others. It would be best if this lie could last until Zuo Zhanting defeats Jin Guo and returns to Beijing.
If Shuifeng Kingdom had already discovered these lies, then all this would be troublesome. The capital would probably be in chaos. Si Qingquan wondered if he could control the furious Shuifeng Kingdom.
No matter which possibility it is, Shui Zhizi needs to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Although she didn't know what the situation was in the capital, Shui Zhizi still received a lot of good news on her way back to the capital.
David's missing commander Zuo Zhanting suddenly appeared on the battlefield, catching the Jin State off guard and causing the Jin State to suffer defeats in the following battles. Some even speculated that Zuo Zhanting's disappearance was just a ploy by David to let the enemy relax their vigilance.
Zuo Zhanting also caught David's spy. It was said that the spy had already given out the mastermind and was just waiting for Zuo Zhanting to win the battle completely and bring the spy back to Beijing for settlement.
On the way back, Shui Zhizi felt the joy of the people along the way, which was completely different from the panic when she left.
But Shui Zhizi did not relax, because she knew that Zuo Zhanting was anxious, otherwise he would not let the matter of the spy spread.
Shui Zhizi could also understand that Zuo Zhanting did this to make Shui Fengguo feel guilty and thus fearful in the capital.
However, based on Shui Zhizi's understanding of the Shuifeng Kingdom, compared to being wary of it, the Shuifeng Kingdom is more likely to do something desperate and fight to the death.
Shui Zhizi felt extremely guilty because she didn't know when her identity was exposed in front of Zuo Zhanting, which was why Zuo Zhanting was so anxious.
Moreover, the client's wish was not to recognize Zuo Zhanting. Shui Zhizi could even feel that the client seemed to be somewhat averse to the idea of recognition.
Shui Zhizi felt that she had done a very bad job on this mission. First, the mission was delayed, and then such a mistake occurred. But it was too late to think about these things now. Shui Zhizi could only remind herself to be more careful and attentive in the future.
Shui Zhizi forgot the reason why the client did not acknowledge his brother. Besides not wanting to, it was more likely because he did not dare.
In particular, the client has already experienced the situation where Zuo Zhanting and Si Qingquan were restricted because of her identity and failed in a hurry.
She knew even more about how much influence her identity would bring to Zuo Zhanting. Moreover, the client had always felt that the identity of the daughter of Shuifeng Kingdom would bring trouble to Zuo Zhanting and bring shame to the Zuo family, so the client just didn't dare to acknowledge her, not that she didn't want to.
You have to know how much the client values family affection and how much she longs for it. When the Water Sealed Country didn't treat her well, she could do so much for a word of recognition from the Water Sealed Country. Now that she knows that her relative is someone else and has been thinking about her all the time, how could the client not want to acknowledge her?
The capital was surprisingly peaceful, and the situation could even be said to be very good. Shui Zhizi had never expected this.
Shui Fengguo has not come to the manor for the past two months, so nothing Shui Zhizi has done has been exposed.
The most unexpected thing was that Shui Fengguo was punished by Si Qingquan and confined to his house, but Shui Fengguo did not resist at all and just stayed at home obediently.
You have to know that this is the first time in all these years that Shuifeng Kingdom has been humiliated by Si Qingquan, and he did not take any action, either overtly or covertly.
People in the capital now say that because Zuo Zhanting has been winning battles continuously and uncovered spies, the Shuifeng Kingdom became afraid and finally quieted down.
But how is this possible? If the Shuifeng Kingdom was the kind of people who would give in so easily, how could Zuo Zhanting and Si Qingquan have had such a hard time over the years?
So when Shui Zhizi heard the news from Amo, she felt that it was just the calm before the storm, and she became more vigilant.
But this kind of tranquility lasted for three months after Shui Zhizi came back.
After Shui Zhizi came back, she didn't dare to go anywhere. She was on high alert every day, fearing that Shui Fengguo would suddenly attack.
After all, the news of Prince Qing Sihe's visit to the capital had already caused a sensation in the city, and Shui Zhizi thought that Shui Fengguo would come to find her no matter what.
During the days when the incident with Si He was the most serious, Shui Zhizi tied a fake belly to her body when she slept.
But in these three months, except for the letters every two weeks, Shui Fengguo had not come once. All the preparations made by Shui Zhizi seemed like a joke. She actually stayed in the manor for three months without doing anything.
If she hadn't received a letter from Shui Fengguo every two weeks, Shui Zhizi would have thought that Shui Fengguo had forgotten her existence.
Just when Shui Zhizi finally couldn't wait any longer and wanted to find a way to contact her boss Qingquan to find out what was going on, Shui Zhizi looked at all the letters between her and Shui Fengguo piled on the table and suddenly an inspiration came to her, and she suddenly figured everything out.
The contents of these letters all have one thing in common: Shui Fengguo never cared about her before, but in these letters Shui Fengguo would always ask her to take good care of herself and the children.
The Shuifeng Kingdom was not afraid and quieted down. It was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that could solve all problems. As long as the prince was born, all the problems of the Shuifeng Kingdom could be solved.
Si Qingquan no longer needs to exist, and Zuo Zhanting can just listen to the new emperor.
That's why Shui Fengguo has been so low-key during this period. He doesn't want to attract attention. He wants everyone to relax their vigilance. As long as the final result is a win, Shui Fengguo won't mind the grievances he has suffered during this period.
Therefore, Shui Fengguo never contacted her except for the letters every half a month. Shui Fengguo wanted to make sure that no one could find her and the child except himself.
