The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 25: The Daughter of a Traitor (25)

As long as no one could find her and the child, even if everyone finally discovered that Shui Fengguo did not send her and the child to the royal summer resort as he had told the court officials, no one could do anything about Shui Fengguo.

As long as they can't find the person, whether it's someone who wants to kill her and her child or someone who wants to protect her and her child, they can only wait for Shui Fengguo's action.

Of course, if the court officials failed to discover that she and the child were not in the Summer Resort at all, it would be easier for the Water Sealed Kingdom.

He just needs to wait until the child is born and let her and the child appear in front of everyone.

Shui Fengguo probably never thought that his plan was problematic from the beginning because the child did not exist at all.

We have to thank the client, because she always listens to Shui Fengguo, so Shui Fengguo trusts her very much and has not come to check for her for such a long time.

After figuring out Shui Fengguo's plan, Shui Zhizi also realized that everything was about to end. Because according to the time, the child should be more than eight months old.

At this time, news came from the border that Zuo Zhanting was about to return victorious. He had defeated the Jin State without any chance of fighting back. The Jin State had already sent people to negotiate. They offered three cities in exchange for Si Qingquan's agreement to cease fire and negotiate.

Such a brilliant victory won Si Qingquan the hearts of the people.

Shui Zhizi looked at her flat belly and took a deep breath. The final showdown was about to begin.

Sure enough, the next day after the news of Zuo Zhanting's triumphant return came, Shuifeng Kingdom sent a message to Shui Zhizi.

Si Qingquan and Concubine Lin Xuan will go to the Mountain Resort to visit the pregnant queen in three days. Shui Fengguo asked Shui Zhizi to return to the Mountain Resort as soon as possible to wait for Si Qingquan. Shui Fengguo also said that he would send people to protect Shui Zhizi and the child at all costs.

Shui Zhizi had never expected that Si Qingquan would be the first to take action. But this was a good thing for Shui Zhizi. Only by meeting Si Qingquan before facing the Shuifeng Kingdom could she better understand the situation in the capital and deal with the Shuifeng Kingdom in the most appropriate way.

So Shui Zhizi naturally obediently took Amo and her fake belly back to the Summer Resort, and Shuifeng Kingdom did not send anyone to send Shui Zhizi back.

I wonder if the Shuifeng Kingdom will regret trusting me so much in the future, Shui Zhizi thought with amusement.

After not seeing Si Qingquan for five months and having no contact, the first thing that came to Shui Zhizi's mind when she saw him again was "The truth is right!" Si Qingquan and Lin Xuan beside him looked at the truth. Shui Zhizi made some efforts to put a decent smile on her face.

"Your Highness." Shui Zhizi bowed to Si Qingquan with her big belly. Si Qingquan almost trembled as he helped Shui Zhizi up. However, Shui Zhizi, who had something else on her mind, did not feel Si Qingquan's excitement and nervousness.

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen." Lin Xuan bowed respectfully to Shui Zhizi. Shui Zhizi helped Lin Xuan up without any hesitation, with a kind expression on her face.

"Your Highness, you don't need to say more..."

"Your servant greets the Queen." Shui Zhizi was interrupted by a crying voice before she could finish her words.

Shui Zhizi was extremely surprised. She had not seen Jasmine following Lin Xuan just now, but she thought it was Jasmine who was spying on them again. However, she found that Jasmine was crying. She had never seen Jasmine cry before.

This time Shui Zhizi had wronged Jasmine. Jasmine did not come here voluntarily. If possible, she would rather stay in the palace alone, but now no one cares about her thoughts.

"Hey, sister, look at your maid. I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much that I want to cry." The voice was obviously teasing. Shui Zhizi didn't know how to respond.

Shui Zhizi subconsciously wanted to see Si Qingquan's expression. Shui Zhizi needed to know Si Qingquan's attitude towards Lin Xuan in order to confirm her own attitude towards Lin Xuan. If Si Qingquan wanted to protect her, then she would naturally have to avoid Lin Xuan's edge.

But before Shui Zhizi turned her head, she saw Lin Xuan winking at her playfully. Shui Zhizi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lin Xuan meant no harm.

Shui Zhizi felt relieved. This was the best. Although she was the queen, she would eventually have to return the position to someone else. It would be best if she didn't have a conflict with Si Qingquan's concubine. Moreover, if she hadn't interfered, the position of queen should have belonged to Lin Xuan.

This was purely Shui Zhizi's assumption. In his previous life, Si Qingquan never took a concubine until his death in order to prevent Shui Fengguo from inserting his hand into the harem. He chose Lin Xuan as the imperial concubine just because she was suitable.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty. Jasmine has been with me since she was a child and has never left me for such a long time." Shui Zhizi felt that she should not call herself "this concubine" in front of Lin Xuan, but since there were a large number of servants following them, she followed the rules.

Hearing Shui Zhizi's words, Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with heartache. Sure enough, the emperor was right. That bastard Shui Fengguo was very mean to the queen. The maid who had been with the queen since childhood didn't even know what her master liked to eat.

"Ah? Jasmine has been with the Queen since she was a child? Then how come she knows nothing about the Queen's preferences?" Lin Xuan's tone was full of surprise.

Without waiting for Shui Zhizi to respond, Lin Xuan continued, "Mo Li is such an incompetent maid. I dare to ask the Queen to lend Mo Li to me for a while. I will definitely return you a brand new Mo Li when the time comes."

Before Shui Zhizi could reply, Jasmine rushed to Shui Zhizi and said, "Queen, the Prime Minister has arranged for me to be by your side since I was a child. You cannot hand me over to others."

It was the first time that Shui Zhizi saw Jasmine so flustered. It seemed that she had been having a hard time during this period. Shui Zhizi was in a good mood.

As for Jasmine's threat, Shui Zhizi pretended not to hear it. Shui Zhizi would definitely agree to Lin Xuan's request. At this time, she certainly couldn't let Jasmine come back to her and do something bad.

"Pa!" It was the maid beside Lin Xuan who hit Jasmine. "You have no right to interrupt when the masters are talking." Then she dragged Jasmine to the back.

"Please forgive me, Queen. I failed to complete the task assigned by the Imperial Concubine and failed to discipline Jasmine."

Lin Xuan's personal maid apologized to her. Shui Zhizi's first reaction was naturally to look at Lin Xuan's expression. As a result, Shui Zhizi found that Lin Xuan was looking at her, with a look on her face asking for praise.

Shui Zhizi was stunned. It was the first time someone looked at her like that. Shui Zhizi inexplicably wanted to touch Lin Xuan's head, but she controlled herself.

"Nothing, since Jasmine is already with the Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine has the final say on all her matters."

"Don't worry, Queen. I will definitely discipline Jasmine well." Shui Gardenia actually heard excitement in Lin Xuan's words.

Shui Zhizi also saw that Jasmine wanted to continue talking but was covered by others, but she just pretended not to see it. Because of her status, in order to prevent Shui Fengguo from suspecting anything, she had almost no way to deal with Jasmine. Now that someone can cure Jasmine, she is happy to see it happen.
