The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 178 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (32)

If King You had not happened to see it, and if Shui Zhizi's maid had not reacted quickly, no one knows what would have happened today.

If Princess Dong Meng was assassinated right under their noses, no one could guarantee what Dong Meng would do.

If it is found out that the people who attacked Shui Zhizi were from their country, it is unknown how Shui Zhizi will deal with it.

Moreover, the water gardenia has just brought so many benefits to the State of Lai, and now is the time for them to use the water gardenia.

No one wanted anything to happen to Shui Zhizi at this moment.

"Princess, it's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid." Yingfu supported Shui Zhizi all the way back to the bedroom. She could feel Shui Zhizi's fear.

Yingfu herself was also very scared. If King You had not shouted in time, she might not have been able to stop the assassin.

Shui Zhizi no longer had the strong voice she had just now in the hall, and her voice was trembling.

"Where's the assassin?"

"I'll hand the slave over to King You, and he will send the person to our house."

Shui Zhizi tried her best to calm herself down.

"No, we won't return to the palace until the king's trial is over and the truth is revealed."

She couldn't let people think she was afraid. This was her first assassination attempt in the King's court of King Lai, and she had to handle it well.

"But you should go back to the mansion and pick out a few things from the storehouse for Prince You, the Sixth Prince, and Concubine Mei as a thank you gift for their protection of me just now."

"Should you choose the princess for King You yourself, or give her something more expensive? After all, she saved your life."

Shui Zhizi recalled Xin Zhuyou's shout in her mind. She thought for a moment.

"Dong Meng should have another set of specially made armor. Give it to King You. Also..."

Shui Zhizi, don't worry. For a favor like saving your life, any gift would seem a little light.

"Why don't I go and ask King You directly what he wants?" Yingfu suggested.

"He just wants the people of Lai to live a good life and wants Lai to become stronger." Shui Gardenia immediately took over.

The princess seemed to understand King You very well.

Yingfu looked at his princess who seemed to notice nothing, his eyes flickering.

"Princess, have you ever thought about why King You did these things?"

Shui Zhizi was puzzled. "What's the matter?"

Yingfu probed: "No matter what the princess ordered, King You had no objection and always did a good job.

Even when he went out to fight, he would remember the princess' birthday.

This time, you were the first to discover the danger around the princess. Princess, don’t you think King You listens to you too much? And pays too much attention to you. "

“Because he is smart enough, he can see clearly that Lai State needs Dong Meng, and he can also see the changes that I have brought to Lai State.

He knew very well that this palace and Dong Meng could change the current situation in Lai State and make the people of Lai State live a better life.

He has something to ask of me, so he will naturally listen to me and guarantee my life.

Of course, he is one of the most grateful people in Lai State."

Yingfu was stunned, so the princess didn't notice anything at all.

"King You, your face was full of fear when you rushed to the princess just now." Yingfu tried again.

"When something happens to this Princess Dongmeng, who in Lai country wouldn't be terrified? Yingfu, what do you want to say?"

Yingfu looked at his princess's bewildered expression and shook his head firmly.

"Nothing, I just think King You is pretty good among the people of Lai State."

Everyone was worried that something might happen to Princess Dongmeng, but only King You noticed something was wrong at the first moment and rushed to the princess immediately.

Others' fear was mixed with guilt, because they were afraid that the princess would hold them accountable, but King You's fear was simply because of the princess herself.

All these blessings are clear to see.

Since the princess doesn’t know, then let her not know. What’s the point of knowing it except to add to her troubles?

"Don't ask him anymore. Just tell King You that I will give Laiguo another 10% profit in the fruit and vegetable business. He should be satisfied."

"Yes."

"Princess, who do you think might have been behind this assassination?"

Yingfu's eyes were full of murderous intent, as if as long as Shui Zhizi told her who it was, she would tear that person into pieces.

Shui Zhizi closed her eyes for a long time before speaking, "If it turns out to be the Sixth Prince, we can put the blame on Bei Ying."

"Why? If it was the Sixth Prince, the King would definitely agree if we wanted to kill him."

The Sixth Prince is a thorn in the King's side, and the King would be happy to see him killed.

Shui Zhizi opened her eyes and said, "That's why he can't be killed. You can see that the king doesn't have the good qualities of others.

We have done so much for the Kingdom of Lai, but the king still only guards against and uses us.

When Lai State becomes strong enough, he may turn against us at any time. Then we may not even be able to save our lives, let alone ask Lai State to help Dong Meng.

Therefore, we must keep those who can compete with the king."

"Then why does the princess think it's the Sixth Prince?"

“We have been staying in the mansion for a year and have avoided him, even sending guards to chase him away.

But today he came to protect me, he really wanted my and Dong Meng's support."

Yingfu suddenly realized.

"So today's assassination might be a plot by the Sixth Prince? A hero saving a beautiful girl?"

This might make Yingfu even angrier.

When she was controlling the maid, she had already stabbed her with the dagger. If she had acted a little later, the princess would have been stabbed.

But the Sixth Prince hadn't reacted at that time. What kind of hero saving the beauty was that? It was obvious that he was going to hurt the princess.

Shui Zhizi held Yingfu's hand and comforted him, "So this is just my guess. It doesn't necessarily mean that the Sixth Prince should investigate first."

If it was the Sixth Prince's plan, he should have reacted faster than Xin Zhuyou.

"I will take people to investigate now. The princess's personal guards are all guarding outside. Princess, don't be afraid."

"I'm fine now. I was just frightened by the sudden incident. Don't worry. Go check it out."

After Yingfu went out, he first gave instructions to Shui Zhizi's personal guards before preparing to go find King You.

As a result, after taking a few steps, he saw two people coming towards him and retreated back to the bedroom with even greater anger.

She almost forgot that if there had been no assassination today, what would have been more infuriating would have been the two people coming towards her.

"The princess, the king, and Concubine Mei are here."

Logically, the woman had not yet been named a concubine, but Shui Zhizi and Yingfu did not know the woman's name, so they called her that.

Shui Zhizi asked Yingfu to tidy up her appearance, and then stood there waiting for someone to come in.

"Your Majesty, your servant." Shui Zhizi had just finished paying her respects to Xin Zhuyin. Before Xin Zhuyin could say anything, Concubine Mei knelt in front of Shui Zhizi with tears in her eyes.

Shui Zhizi looked at Xin Zhuyin, wanting to ask what Xin Zhuyin meant.

But Xin Zhuyin avoided Shui Zhizi's sight.

It looked like he wanted Shui Zhizi and Mei Fei to handle today's affairs.

Shui Zhizi suppressed the sarcasm in her eyes. She was afraid of angering her because of the issue of conferring the title of princess, so now she let a woman come to apologize.
