Chapter 188 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (42)

"But with me watching over Lai Country, Dong Meng will be able to know the situation in Lai Country more clearly, right?"

If Shui Hao didn't agree, why would Dong Meng send an envoy? Shui Zhizi couldn't be optimistic.

Yingfu's heart was in a trance. She couldn't imagine how devastated the princess would be if the emperor agreed to such conditions.

This is clearly giving the princess to the State of Lai for free.

Shui Zhizi had a bitter smile on her pale face all the time, "Yingfu, you know, I have always been prepared to never go back to Dongmeng.

I have also thought about cooperating with the Sixth Prince to make Xin Zhuyin the puppet king.

But I have never thought of marrying a man who is not as good as Xin Zhuyin. "

Shui Zhizi paused for a moment and continued tremblingly: "Or even if I marry someone else, it doesn't matter, but Shui Hao can't agree to this."

Shui Zhizi no longer cared about not getting married, but Shui Hao couldn't ask her to do this.

She was abandoned in her previous life because she was cowardly and did not shoulder her responsibilities as the eldest princess.

So this time, did Shui Hao know what kind of person Master Xin Zhu was and let her remarry?

Shui Zhizi thought that she had no expectations of her royal brother Shui Hao anymore.

But when the Sixth Prince said that Shui Hao agreed to let her remarry, she felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.

"Princess, that won't happen. Nothing has come of it yet. We can still change it." Yingfu held Shui Zhizi's trembling hand tightly.

Yingfu would rather Shui Zhizi cry at this moment, rather than smiling with a pale face and disappointment in her eyes like now.

But Shui Zhizi didn't cry, even though her whole body was shaking, she didn't cry.

She even calmed down as quickly as possible and came up with a solution.

"Yingfu, send two of my personal guards to escort our best doctors to King You.

Let King You save the king's life at all costs.

If you can’t protect him, let King You return to the capital and come to see me in secret.”

"The princess wants to push King You to the throne? But didn't the princess say that King You has no such ambition?"

"If the king really dies, if he doesn't fight for it, Lai will fall into the hands of that idiot Xin Zhushi. He won't sit idly by."

Now it is not a question of whether Xin Zhuyou has ambition or not, but a question of what he has to do.

"Slave, go right away."

The guards were already familiar with the route to the battlefield when they were escorting food and fodder, and they had just returned not long ago, so it shouldn't be a problem to make another trip.

"Also, let the people of Dongmeng know what we have done in Lai Country in recent years, so that they can see our value."

"I understand." Let the people of Dongmeng see their value. They will definitely want them to return to their country. When the emperor makes a decision, he will need to consider the opinions of the people.

If King You eventually loses to the Six Princes, they will have no choice but to return to Dongmeng.

In fact, their mission in Lai State has been almost completed. Lai State now has the national strength to protect itself without any problems. If something really happens to the king, they can return to Dongmeng.

The next half month was the most anxious and tiring half month that Shui Zhizi spent in Laiguo.

He had to keep an eye on Master Xin Zhu's actions at all times, stabilize the court of Lai State, and wait for news from Xin Zhuyou on the battlefield and the Dongmeng delegation.

As soon as Shui Zhizi closed her eyes, she saw the scene of Shui Hao forcing her to remarry Master Xin Zhu.

Just when Shui Zhizi was about to get used to the nightmares she had been having for half a month, the personal guard she sent to find Xin Zhuyou actually came back early.

"King You sent people back?" In half a month, her personal guards would not be able to get to the battle site.

"I met King You's personal guard halfway through my journey."

Fortunately, they had met each other when they were delivering food and grass to King You before, so they were able to recognize each other when they passed each other on the road on horseback.

"What's the situation on the battlefield now?" Shui Zhizi didn't have time to ask how they met, and immediately asked about the situation on the battlefield.

The guard who was asked looked nervous.

"The king was stabbed by a poisoned arrow and died on the spot."

Shui Zhizi fell down on the chair and asked, "Who else knows this news now?"

"Only King You and a few of his confidants know about this. In the capital, King You only asked his personal guards to pass on the news to the princess."

Shui Zhizi closed her eyes, fortunately Xin Zhuyou was reliable enough.

"What about the battle with Beiying? Can we still win?"

"King You said he would definitely win, and told the princess not to panic, to stabilize the court, and to wait until he comes back before deciding on anything else."

Shui Zhizi's eyes were dull and she said mechanically: "I understand. You can go and have a rest."

Worst outcome.

"Princess You Wang also said that no matter what happened in Lai State, he would protect the princess and asked the princess to trust him."

Shui Zhizi waved her hand and asked the guards to go down and rest.

Protect her life? But from the beginning to the end, no one wanted her life. Everyone wanted the interests represented by her, the Princess of Dongmeng. No one cared about Shui Zhizi as a person.

"Princess, don't be afraid. I will always be with you."

Yingfu held Shui Zhizi's shoulders, trying to give her some strength.

"Yingfu, if King You is willing to fight for it and wins, should I stay in Lai State as the Queen Mother, or return to Dongmeng and continue to be my eldest princess?"

Where Shui Zhizi couldn't see, Yingfu's face froze.

Yingfu has always known that what his princess meant by cooperating with other princes was just using her own power and influence to support a certain prince to take the throne, and it never included remarrying herself.

Because of the Sixth Prince's attempt to assassinate the King, the princess saw clearly that the Sixth Prince would not be a good king.

Therefore, no matter whether the Sixth Prince allows the princess to remarry or not, the princess will not cooperate with the Sixth Prince.

But the princess didn't seem to have thought about cooperating with King You, and King You would also let her remarry and would not let her return to Dongmeng.

"What if King You is also unwilling to let the princess return to Dongmeng?"

"He is devoted to the people of Lai. As long as I am willing to give him everything we have researched in the past few years without reservation, he will not stop me from returning to the country."

Yingfu's eyes flickered, and it seemed that the princess had never had any thoughts about love.

Should she tell the princess about King You’s thoughts?

But it has been almost three years since the incident, and King You's mood may have changed.

"What if King You thinks we can create greater value by staying in Lai?"

"That depends on whether our emperor is willing to let me go back." Shui Zhizi laughed at herself.

As long as Dong Meng is willing to let her go back, what anyone in Lai State thinks is insignificant.

Yingfu sighed silently. She didn't know since when the princess lost all trust in the emperor.

The princess always seemed to think that between interests and her, the emperor would definitely choose interests.

"What if King You really wants to keep the princess?" Yingfu continued to ask without giving up.
