Chapter 167 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (21)

But now that this letter exists, if Shui Zhizi can finally choose to stay.

Xin Zhuyin and the entire Lai Kingdom will only be grateful to Shui Zhizi.

In order to keep Shui Zhizi, Xin Zhuyin must agree to some conditions.

A letter can resolve yesterday's rift and help you get what you want.

Is Shui Zhizi, the eldest princess of Dongmeng, respected by Dongmeng only because of the coincidence of her birth time?

Xin Zhuyou thinks that may not be the case.

But he did not feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. Instead, he was very happy that Shui Zhizi had the ability and wisdom to protect herself.

"What should we do now?" Xin Zhuyin was anxious.

Xilin is just mobilizing its troops and will not necessarily fight with Dongmeng.

But the plight of Lai State needs to be solved urgently now.

Moreover, the war with Xilin was started by Lai State and Dong Meng State.

If Xilin were to start a war again, Lai would certainly not be able to escape.

Although Xin Zhuyin is warlike, he also knows that eggs cannot hit stones.

Therefore, it is even more necessary to keep Princess Dongmeng in Lai State at this time.

Since this princess is so important to Dong Meng, as long as Princess Dong Meng is in Lai State, Dong Meng will not give up Lai State when a war breaks out.

Xin Zhuyou thought for a while before answering the question.

Xin Zhuyin raised the whip in his hand several times, but ultimately did not swing it.

Although Xin Zhuyin has always looked down on Xin Zhuyou, he has to admit that Xin Zhuyou is the smartest person around him.

He can't leave Xin Zhuyou.

“We can first tell Emperor Dongmeng that Xilin is just a normal troop mobilization and has nothing to do with Dongmeng.

Our Lai Kingdom also participated in the war with Xilin back then, so Princess Dongmeng means the same to both countries whether she is in Lai Kingdom or Dongmeng.

Let’s use these two reasons to stabilize the ASEAN emperor first.”

"What happens after you stabilize it?"

"Based on what I have seen along the way, Princess Dongmeng can decide whether the marriage will be successful or not.

With the favor that Emperor Dongmeng showed her and Princess Dongmeng's prestige among the court officials of Dongmeng, Princess Dongmeng has the final say on whether to leave or stay.

It was Princess Dongmeng who agreed to the marriage against all odds.

If she could convince the Dongmeng people the first time, she could convince them the second time as well.

Therefore, I think our top priority now is to make Princess Dongmeng willing to stay."

Hearing this, Xin Zhuyin became even angrier. He thought of Princess Dongmeng's bloody and swollen hand yesterday.

If it wasn’t for Xin Zhuyou, how could he have injured Princess Dongmeng yesterday?

Now, as a king, he is asked to apologize to Princess Dongmeng. With that pretentious look on her face, is Princess Dongmeng really willing to stay?

Of course Xin Zhuyou quickly understood what Xin Zhuyin meant, and he continued expressionlessly:

"Your Majesty, we are the ones who need your help now. We have wronged you, but Princess Dongmeng is not someone who makes trouble for no reason. She probably didn't take yesterday's injury to heart."

"Then how can we make her stay?"

She didn't take the injury to heart. If it were before, Xin Zhuyin would have thought Shui Zhizi was quite sensible.

But now, doesn't the meaning of not taking it to heart mean that not apologizing has nothing to do with whether Shui Zhizi can be kept or not?

"Princess Dongmeng's request for marriage should be considered as putting Dongmeng's interests before her own. We should consider this point."

Xin Zhuyin glanced at Xin Zhuyou and waited for him to continue speaking.

"So the king can promise Princess Dongmeng that if Dongmeng and Xilin go to war in the future, Lai will definitely stand on Dongmeng's side as before."

Xin Zhuyin rolled his eyes. This required a promise, and there was no choice.

Back then, Lai State and Dong Meng fought against Xilin together. If Xilin fought with Dong Meng again, how could they let Lai State go? Therefore, Lai State could only stand on the side of Dong Meng.

Yes, so this does not require Laiguo to make any extra efforts.

Xin Zhuyin understood. But he still sneered at Xin Zhuyou.

The son of a lowly slave is quite clever.

"anything else?"

"The princess also said yesterday that she needs the king's protection, so the king can also promise that no matter what happens, he will protect the princess.

Of course, we must let Emperor Dongmeng know about this promise so that he can see our sincerity.

Therefore, the king can have someone write to Emperor Dongmeng every six months to report the princess’s situation.”

"I myself have often encountered assassinations. How could a woman like her, who is defenseless, not be injured?"

Princess Dong Meng's life must be saved, but how could there be no problems at all?

Xin Zhuyou hid the disapproval in his eyes. At least at this moment, the king must be determined to protect the princess.

"Princess Dong Meng has her own guards, so we can only ask the king to agree that the princess's guards will always guard the princess."

"That's fine. The princess of Dongmeng should protect herself."

Xin Zhuyou smiled bitterly. So the king didn't consider at all that the princess's personal guards were in the royal court of Lai. If they had any ulterior motives, they might hurt him?

Or was he confident enough that the princess's guards could not hurt him, but he did not have the confidence to protect Princess Dong Meng, or did he just not want to bother with it.

“In addition, Emperor Dongmeng said that everything in Princess Dongmeng’s dowry, whether it is the arrangement of people or materials, is up to Princess Dongmeng herself.

The king can also promise the princess that he will never interfere with her dowry."

Xin Zhuyin finally smiled with satisfaction. What Xin Zhuyou said was the request of Emperor Dongmeng, and he couldn't refuse.

But now, Xin Zhuyou has used them as conditions for negotiations with Princess Dongmeng.

It seems that the Lai Kingdom did not pay any price.

Xin Zhuyin was very satisfied.

"Okay, I'll leave all these matters to you. Make sure to keep Princess Dongmeng. Otherwise, you don't have to live anymore."

Xin Zhuyou took the order and retreated, with a look of worry in his eyes.

I don’t know whether his guess about Shui Zhizi’s feelings is correct, and whether this is what Shui Zhizi wants.

If he guessed wrong and failed to satisfy Shui Zhizi, would Shui Zhizi really turn around and go back?

If Shui Zhizi really goes back this time, it will be a big trouble for Lai State.

Other countries will definitely think that it was Lai State that made Dong Meng unhappy, which is why Dong Meng would go back on the marriage proposal at all costs.

By then, those countries that are hostile to Lai State will surely take advantage of the situation. The peace that Lai State has managed to maintain for several months will probably be broken again.

No matter what Shui Zhizi thinks, Xin Zhuyou will do his best to keep Princess Dong Meng for the sake of Lai State.

Early the next morning, Xin Zhuyou took the officials of Lai State to find Shui Zhizi.

It was the first time that Shui Zhizi saw Xin Zhuyou wearing his official uniform.

Looking at the few people behind Xin Zhuyou who were also wearing official uniforms of the Lai State, Shui Zhizi's eyes rolled.

It seems that Xin Zhuyou has understood what she meant.
