Chapter 187 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (41)
The letter that was about to be sent was almost retrieved by Xin Zhuyin's men, but was stopped by Xin Zhuyou.
When Shui Zhizi saw Concubine Mei in armor, she was actually happy in her heart. At least this woman was not completely trapped in the harem.
"I wish you all a triumphant return." Shui Zhizi said the last wish sincerely.
And the State of Lai did win, but the war lasted for nearly three years.
In the end, even the food and grass prepared by Shui Zhizi were used up, and Xin Zhuyin, the king of Lai and the commander-in-chief on the battlefield, was also injured.
When the news reached the capital of Lai, the royal court of Lai was in chaos.
In the end, it was Queen Shui Zhizi who returned to the royal court and stabilized the situation.
With the help of Lai's court officials, the Sixth Prince Xin Zhushi, who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, was stabilized.
"Princess, you said you would cooperate with this prince." Master Xin Zhu smiled confidently, and the queen stopped calling him.
“The premise for me to agree to cooperate with the Sixth Prince is that the King does not respect me.
But I, the Sixth Prince, haven’t seen the King for almost three years. How can I know the King’s attitude?”
"He can't survive." Master Xin Zhu smiled more confidently.
Shui Zhizi's eyes went dark. If she had something in her hand, she would have smashed it on Master Xin Zhu's head without hesitation.
No wonder the news that came back was so confusing. It didn't say that Xin Zhuyin was injured on the battlefield. It turned out that he was plotted against by people from his own country.
"Do you know that this is the last battle with Beiying? As long as you win this battle, your Lai Kingdom will completely take over Beiying." Shui Zhizi almost shouted.
Yingfu's face darkened when she saw her princess was so angry that she was in a restless mood. She should have killed the Sixth Prince by means of the assassination.
"Princess, do you really think this prince is stupid? Who will support this prince after he takes over Beiying?"
Taking Beiying was such a great achievement that Xin Zhuyin would become a king praised by everyone in Lai.
"So you had to attack him at the most critical moment. What if something happened to the coach and we lost the battle?" Shui Zhizi had never been so angry.
No wonder some people said that Xin Zhushi, the sixth prince of Lai State, cared nothing but internal strife.
Xin Zhuyou would rather be whipped every day than not support Xin Zhuyin.
This Master Xin Zhu is a madman and a fool.
"Everyone knows that we have been able to win the wars over the years because of Xin Zhuyou, the King of You. As for the commander Xin Zhuyin, it makes no difference whether he is there or not."
Master Xin Zhu's face was full of disdain.
Shui Zhizi was so angry that her stomach hurt. "The commander-in-chief is in trouble and the army is in chaos. Are you stupid?"
Master Xin Zhu was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly: "So what if we lose? We have already captured so many cities, there is nothing wrong with talking about it now."
It was the first time that Shui Zhizi was so angry at someone that she was speechless.
Why would she want to work with such a fool in the first place?
"Princess, you don't have to do anything now, just wait quietly for news.
This prince will also give you face and stop making trouble. When Xin Zhuyou brings Xin Zhuyin's body back to the capital, you and I will cooperate and you will remarry this prince and I will continue to be your queen. "
Shui Zhizi was stunned. "What did you say?"
"This prince has already written a letter to Emperor Dongmeng. When the war in Lai State ends, the Dongmeng delegation will come to Lai State again to attend our wedding."
Shui Zhizi grabbed the chair tightly and said, "My royal brother agreed?" Does my royal brother know what kind of person Master Xin Zhu is? She was abandoned again.
"The delegation should be leaving in a few days."
Yingfu was also panicked. She held Shui Zhizi's shoulders, trying to calm them both down.
"The delegation has set off, which means that our emperor has not agreed, right?"
Master Xin Zhu’s smile froze.
"Princess, with your current influence in Lai, neither the people of Lai nor the officials of Lai will let you go back.
This king can give up the dowry and give Dong Meng more betrothal gifts.
The princess can still live wherever she wants and do whatever she wants, just like she has in the past few years. Isn't that good?"
The grain developed by the people of Shui Zhizi has brought a lot of extra harvest to the people of Lai State in the past three years.
Moreover, the people of Shuizhizi have been making other attempts. If this continues, Lai State will be self-sufficient in food in a few years.
In addition, the fruit and vegetable business has been growing bigger and bigger. Almost every small country in the north comes to Lai to buy fruits and vegetables. He is reluctant to let such people go.
Even if Shui Zhizi did nothing, he had to keep her just because of her identity as the Princess of Dongmeng.
The fact that Emperor Dongmeng did not agree to his proposal immediately shows that Princess Dongmeng still has a status in Dongmeng.
Shui Zhizi felt sick when she saw Master Xin Zhu's determined look.
"The Sixth Prince's king hasn't come back yet, so we'd better wait and see before making any plans." After Shui Zhizi finished speaking, she stood up, straightened her back, and helped Yingfu out.
The Sixth Prince's almost arrogant voice came from behind, "Xin Zhuyin can't survive, maybe he is already dead now."
Shui Zhizi's face began to turn pale, but she didn't look back.
"Prime Minister Lu hasn't written to me in this period of time?"
"No." Yingfu's voice was also trembling.
Judging from the Sixth Prince's expression, he was probably not lying.
If it wasn't such a big deal as a lie, why wasn't there any news from Dong Meng?
Unless the news was true, Prime Minister Lu didn't know how to tell the princess.
Shui Zhizi staggered.
"Princess, it's okay. It's okay. The king may not be in trouble, and our Emperor Dongmeng may not agree to the Sixth Prince's conditions."
"You really won't agree?" Shui Zhizi asked with a smile.
“Whether or not Lai State can completely capture Beiying this time, Lai State’s strength has increased.
If the Sixth Prince promises His Majesty that as long as I stay, he will attack Xilin with Dongmeng in the future, do you think His Majesty will refuse?"
"The Sixth Prince may not propose this condition. Lai State has not yet finished its own war." Yingfu tried hard to persuade Shui Zhizi, and also tried hard to persuade himself.
“The war between Kelai and Xilin was inevitable.
Back then, it was Lai State and Dong Meng that defeated Xilin together. Xilin has always held a grudge and has been confronting these two countries to this day.
If Xilin defeats Dongmeng, Lai will be next, and there is no way Lai can escape.”
"Then why does the princess still help Lai State so much?" Since Lai State has to attack Xilin together with Dong Meng no matter what, it doesn't matter if the princess doesn't help Lai State.
“But the same is true in reverse. If Xilin attacks Lai first, we can’t just sit back and watch.
I am helping Lai because I want Lai to become stronger and not hold Dongmeng back. I also want to help Dongmeng.
"So the Sixth Prince is just exchanging a princess with Dong Meng for something that Lai Country must do? The Emperor will definitely be able to see through this, and he won't agree to it."
