Chapter 190 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (44)
He would not do anything that would bring trouble to Shui Zhizi.
Wang Feng looked at Xin Zhuyou's cautious look and smiled helplessly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. No one else should know about this except me. I have never told anyone about it."
Xin Zhuyou had a look of doubt on his face. He didn't care what others thought of him, but when it came to Shui Zhizi, he had to be cautious.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that when we first brought the queen from Dongmeng to Lai, the first fur coat she wore was obtained by the two of us when we went hunting together?"
Xin Zhuyou clenched the bag in his hand in silence. So that's how it was.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. No one knows that you can sew except me and my brother."
“I was there when the people of Dongmeng celebrated the queen’s birthday.
Your Majesty, in recent years, whenever it is around the Queen's birthday, you will bring back a few prey with bright fur and personally handle them.
But I've never seen you wearing a fur coat in such good condition?
On the contrary, the color of the fur coat that the princess wore when she gave us a farewell party looked very familiar to me."
After all, leather of such good quality is rare, and it just so happened that Wang Feng had seen Xin Zhuyou hunt such prey.
"She knows nothing." Xin Zhuyou was a little anxious.
"She didn't know I made it, she thought it was just an ordinary gift and accepted it."
"Your Highness, you were not so anxious when others said that you were of low status." Wang Feng said the most truthful words in a joking tone.
"So why don't you seize this opportunity, Your Majesty? You are the most capable person to compete with the Sixth Prince, and only you can truly benefit the people of our Lai Kingdom."
“I have no interest in that position.”
"Your Highness, you should fight for the Queen. Maybe the Sixth Prince has already taken action. Do you really want to give up this one and only chance?"
Xin Zhuyou's heart trembled.
"She won't fall in love with Master Xin Zhu. She is afraid of the cold and doesn't like to eat meat. She doesn't like it here and she will want to go home.
I've already forced her to stay once, and this time I want to make her happy."
"Food, we can solve these problems, right? She has even solved this problem herself.
And will she be happy when she returns? What should a princess who has been married to a man from another country do when she returns to Dongmeng?
She might end up alone for the rest of her life.”
“No, Wang Feng, you’ve seen how the people of Dongmeng treat her, and with her abilities, she can live well anywhere.
As long as she is willing, there will be many people who like her.
If she really died alone, it was only because she wanted to be that way."
If Shui Zhizi were here, she would be surprised that Xin Zhuyou saw through her so thoroughly.
"My Lord, leave the queen behind and let her support you in ascending the throne. Your career will be much easier.
But if you send the queen away, you will be going against the entire Lai Kingdom. Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"
Xin Zhuyou lowered his eyes and said, "We have to rely on ourselves."
"What if the queen herself wishes to stay?"
After a long silence, Xin Zhuyou's unreal voice was heard.
"Then I will fight for myself, or let her be the high and mighty queen mother, but she won't want to stay." She never regarded Lai State as her home.
Xin Zhuyou was silent all the way back to the capital.
The three words "Does he deserve it?" kept circling in his mind.
Until he separated from the main force and went secretly to meet Shui Zhizi.
Without knowing the exact situation at the royal court, he couldn't let anyone take the risk with him.
Even though Xin Zhuyou entered the capital city at dark, the capital city was still very lively.
The news that Lai had won the battle and was about to return to the capital in triumph had already spread throughout the capital.
Everyone seemed to think that the seriously injured king was no longer a problem.
Shui Zhizi had already sent someone to tell Xin Zhuyou to go to the palace outside the royal court to find her secretly after he returned.
Xin Zhuyou walked a long way and went straight to the Son of Water's mansion.
As soon as Xin Zhuyou arrived at the gate of the mansion, he found that all the people who had stayed here to look after Shui Zhizi when he left were gone.
He had previously instructed the people he sent to follow Shui Zhizi's orders first, so he was not worried about the people sent by the king.
With the help of his people, plus Shui Zhizi's own people, it is not difficult to control the king's people.
There were no guards guarding outside the mansion, and no one knew except Xin Zhuyou that he had been waiting at the door for a long time before entering.
He has been on the battlefield for three years, and the smell of blood on his body is getting stronger. I wonder if Shui Zhizi will hate it.
Xin Zhuyou looked at his empty hands and his heart ached.
He finally put away all the birthday gifts he had saved up for three years.
Since Wang Feng could discover something, others might also be able to notice something.
He couldn't let Shui Zhizi suffer from rumors without knowing anything.
If she finally chooses to go back, she should return to Dongmeng in glory and without a trace of gloom.
Go back to your own country, find someone you love, get married and have children.
Or she could continue to lead her people to study more things that could benefit the people under better conditions in Dongmeng.
Anyway, as long as she returns to Dongmeng, she can live a good life no matter what choice she makes.
Xin Zhuyou comforted himself, tried hard not to notice anything unusual, and then walked into the mansion with heavy steps.
But all his calm disguise disappeared after Shui Zhizi's first words came out.
He was instantly thrown into disarray.
“The Sixth Prince’s people are ready to let him ascend the throne once you enter the city.
I only want to ask you one question. If I fully support you to take the position, what will you do? "
Ever since the news of the complete victory reached the capital, the Sixth Prince's men have been spreading the news that the King has passed away.
As the time for the army to return to the capital drew closer, the people on the Sixth Prince's side became more and more rampant.
Shui Zhizi tried her best to suppress these people.
So she had no time to reminisce with Xin Zhuyou. Of course, in Shui Zhizi's eyes, there was nothing to reminisce about between them.
In fact, Shui Zhizi was just asking Xin Zhuyou whether he was willing to ascend the throne, but Xin Zhuyou's mind was full of the words of the people around him asking him to marry Shui Zhizi.
So Xin Zhuyou gave Shui Zhizi an answer that left Shui Zhizi dumbfounded.
"I will only marry the princess in this life."
When Xin Zhuyou said this, the words had already escaped his mouth before he could even react.
"Ah?" Shui Zhizi didn't react for a long time.
Shui Zhizi has made up her mind during this period that if Shui Hao really lets her remarry the Sixth Prince, then she will completely give up this royal brother.
There is no point for Dong Meng to go back without his relatives, and her mission is to make Dong Meng stronger.
So she would fully support Xin Zhuyou to take the throne, and then become the queen mother herself.
She would not make other plans until Dongmeng and Xilin went to war, and Lai State helped Dongmeng win the war.
