The quick travel journey of the cold heroine
Chapter 36: The Daughter of a Traitor (36)
Your Majesty, before I met you, someone told me that you would be a good emperor. Later, after I really got to know you, I was very sure that person was right.
Being both intelligent and brave is your least noteworthy quality. The most important thing is that you care about the world and the people, and are able to restrain your own selfish desires for the sake of the world.
I know that you were in great pain when making many decisions, whether it was letting General Zuo go to the battlefield, or letting me rescue General Zuo, or wanting to use me to deal with my father, etc. You were the one who suffered the most and was the saddest in these things.
But you are also the one who has no choice and is most helpless. I really want to help you, but your identity is destined to be beyond the reach of an ordinary person like me.
So I can only tell you, Your Majesty, you did nothing wrong. I have never blamed you. On the contrary, I admire you very much.
You should also know that no one in this world can blame you. What you have done for David, or what you are about to do, proves that you are a good emperor. So, Your Majesty, don't doubt, keep moving forward, don't look back, and don't regret.
I am very fortunate to have been able to accompany you on this journey. Of course, I won't be able to accompany you in the future, but Your Majesty, please remember that no matter what you do, there is a woman who will always support you.
Now I can only help you one last time. When father brings the child back to Beijing, someone will definitely think that you are lying. You can then ask the imperial physician to check my body. You and I have not consummated our marriage, and my body will be the best proof.
Of course I will try my best to stay alive and prove it myself. If I don't live up to my expectations, then Your Majesty will have to work harder.
Although I feel this sentence is useless, I still want to say that Your Majesty should not feel guilty towards me. Every step from entering the palace to now has been my own choice, and I did it willingly.
Even if you still can't control your guilt, you can only feel guilty for a short period of time. You still have to be a good emperor next, and it will be even harder for you, so don't waste your time on such bad things.
Finally, let me say one more useless thing: take care of yourself and General Zuo. I know you will do well even if I don’t say anything.
This is the letter that Shui Zhizi left for Si Qingquan. After reading the letter, Si Qingquan could no longer suppress his emotions and broke down crying in the carriage.
All the people that Si Qingquan brought with him this time retreated far away under the command of his personal eunuch Shan Qi.
How could Si Qingquan not feel guilty? When he saw Shui Zhizi lying motionless on the bed, Si Qingquan already felt extremely guilty. But he told himself that he could not feel guilty, he could not be weak. This was his choice. The moment he chose to leave Shui Zhizi to Shui Fengguo, he no longer had the right to feel guilty.
But now, Shui Zhizi's letter stabbed Si Qingquan's already deflated heart, making him unable to control his emotions any longer.
How could Shuifengguo raise such a good daughter? Why was it Shuifengguo's daughter? Why is he the emperor? Why does he always have to consider the overall situation?
Si Qingquan did not complain when he first took over David's mess, nor did he complain during the years of fighting wits and courage with Shui Fengguo, nor did he complain when he was overwhelmed by various political affairs every day. But the moment he finished reading Shui Zhizi's letter, Si Qingquan complained for the first time, and the only time in his life.
Time passed little by little, and there was finally no sound in the carriage. Shan Qi finally dared to lead his men over. "Your Majesty, where are we going now?"
Shan Qi also saw when Ah Mo handed the letter to Si Qingquan just now, so Shan Qi probably guessed the reason why Si Qingquan lost control of his emotions. In this world, the only person who can make the emperor lose control of his emotions like this is General Zuo and the Empress, Shan Qi thought silently.
Si Qingquan's hoarse voice came, "Go back to the palace." What would happen if he went back to find Shui Zhizi? He couldn't change anything.
Shan Qi was not surprised at this answer. The emperor he was loyal to was always so rational, so rational that it made people feel distressed.
"Your Majesty, you can't listen to those old stubborn people. Although the Queen is the daughter of Shuifeng Kingdom, you have seen everything she has done for you." As soon as Si Qingquan entered the bedroom, he heard Lin Xuan's anxious voice.
"Those old stubborn people actually want you to kill the queen as well. Are they crazy? It takes so many years to produce a female general. Are they out of their minds?"
Si Qingquan paused. Are they so impatient? Even if they don't know what Shui Zhizi has done, they shouldn't be so anxious.
"Where is the child?" After Shui Fengguo was arrested, he handed the child over to Lin Xuan.
"I was originally planning to return it to the family whose child was taken away by the Water Sealed Nation, but after searching around, I couldn't find anyone whose child was lost, so I gave it to a childless couple outside the city. Don't worry, I found someone to disguise themselves before delivering it, so there won't be any problems."
Si Qingquan finally looked up at Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan's work was quite reassuring.
"Why are your eyes swollen?" Lin Xuan exclaimed. This was the first time Si Qingquan looked directly at Lin Xuan since he came in, so Lin Xuan saw it.
Si Qingquan said nothing, but asked Lin Xuan, "Then how do you think the Queen should deal with it?"
Lin Xuan had thought about this question many times before. "It depends on whether Your Majesty likes it or not. If Your Majesty likes it, then let the Queen continue to be the Queen. If you don't like it, then let the Queen continue to be a female general to protect the people."
"Of course, I still think it's best if you don't like the Queen. A woman like the Queen shouldn't be trapped in this deep palace. She will have greater achievements outside. Although the Queen will definitely make some achievements in the harem, I always feel that it is not good for the Queen."
Si Qingquan stared at Lin Xuan, who had always treated him with disrespect, and realized for the first time how much Lin Xuan was obsessed with the outside world and with the idea that women could also make achievements. No wonder she said she wasn't afraid of rumors, as long as he gave her a chance to show her talents.
"Do you think it's so easy to go against the majority opinion?" Si Qingquan felt depressed.
"It's not easy, but Your Majesty, you have tried so hard to get rid of the Water Sealed Kingdom. Isn't it because you don't want to be checked and balanced by others? Are you going to give in to those old stubborn people who know nothing? Aren't you cultivating the next Water Sealed Kingdom?" Lin Xuan stared at Si Qingquan closely, fearing that he would agree to the proposals of those old stubborn people.
Si Qingquan was dumbfounded, and he came to his senses instantly. Yes, why did he think that Shui Zhizi's matter was so difficult? Shui Zhizi was capable, and he knew what she had done for him that others didn't know, so this matter only depended on what he, the emperor, thought.
Among those ministers, who contributed more than Shui Zhizi in the affairs of Shui Feng State? What right did they have to point fingers at Shui Zhizi? And why didn't he act tough as he wished after he took over Shui Feng State, so as to establish his authority and protect Shui Zhizi.
