The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 143: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (51)

"If the witness has been dealt with by the prince, then I beg the prince to testify for me personally."

Zheng Hong's eyes lit up, his heart was moved, and he saw hope again.

"Okay, but I have a request."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Marry me as your consort."

Zheng Hong knew that with the way Shui Zhizi hated him now, he had no chance to take it slow, so he could only seize this only chance to force it.

Shui Zhizi was stunned for a while, then laughed out loud, in a mocking tone.

"My father wants me to protect Ying Wan'er's life. Shui Zhizi, if you marry me, I will not only hand over the witness, but also make Ying Wan'er pay the price she deserves."

Apparently Shui Zhizi's ridicule made Zheng Hong lose his mind.

"Your Highness, guess why I came to you to ask for witnesses?" Shui Zhizi spoke to Zheng Hong for the first time without hiding her sarcasm.

"It's not because I have nowhere else to go. Your Highness, you may have forgotten that when you sent my eldest brother and his wife away, you told them everything in person."

Zheng Hong's hopes were completely shattered, and he laughed, mocking himself. What he had just done was no different from humiliating himself.

"Your Highness, do you think I would not seek help from my elder brother and his wife for such a big matter as revenge? Your Highness, I am looking for you because I want you to let the people back then tell the truth in your own way, so that it will not affect your image in front of the emperor.

Because you and King Rui are in a cooperative relationship, King Rui has given me a lot of help in getting to where I am today over the years, so I don't want to cause him any trouble.

But this doesn't mean that I have only one way to go, which is to ask you for help. Other ways may be more troublesome, but I have waited for seven years, so what if it is more troublesome?"

Shui Zhizi smiled happily. Now that she had come this far, she could finally stop being bullied by others.

For the first time, Zheng Hong felt humiliated. His face seemed to be slapped, burning and painful.

"In that case, there is nothing more for the prince and I to talk about. I will take my leave."

When she left Prince Zhan's Mansion seven years ago, Shui Zhizi was full of resentment and sorrow, but now Shui Zhizi felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

Thinking of Li Chuan's confused and painful expression, Shui Zhizi felt relieved but also very curious about what Li Chuan would do next?

It is for everything he has now. Under the pretext of amnesia, he pretends that nothing happened, protects Ying Wan'er, and maintains everything he has now.

I would still take the risk of doing everything and help myself.

"Shui Zhizi, you are really careless. After causing such a big mess, you still have the leisure to go shopping?"

Shui Zhizi didn't go shopping, she was just thinking about what to do next.

Zheng Hong just said that the emperor wanted to spare Ying Wan'er's life, but she would never allow Ying Wan'er to live.

"This commoner greets King Rui."

King Rui looked at Shui Zhizi who was performing the ceremony as usual, and he began to doubt whether what had just happened at the celebration banquet was just an illusion.

"You still have the mood to go shopping, and after shopping you return to Corning Building. Shui Zhizi, you are really a talent." He had already sent people back and forth to look for Shui Zhizi many times.

"I didn't go shopping. I went to look for evidence."

King Rui choked up, "It's been so many years since the incident, do you think it's so easy to find evidence?"

The two of them walked into Corning Building while talking.

"Your Highness, I won't file a complaint unless I'm absolutely sure." Besides, what was lacking in the burning of the Li family's house was not evidence.

Prince Rui had another heart attack. "You are really amazing. Over the years, I have never noticed any connection between you and Li Chuan. Where is the evidence?"

"There is no connection to begin with. What's the point of being connected with a man who can't even protect himself? The evidence will naturally appear when the prince formally tries the case."

King Rui opened his mouth. He found every word Shui Zhizi said incredible, but he asked first, "You don't believe me?"

Shui Zhizi remained calm and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have finally reached the last step and I cannot take any risks."

King Rui was so angry that he had nothing to say. He thought his attitude had been clear enough over the years.

If he didn't think Shui Zhizi was a rare talent, he would have kicked Shui Zhizi out long ago.

He kept a prince in the dark for so many years and now he still doesn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

Although he was extremely angry, King Rui still patiently asked the question he had just asked, "Do you hate Li Chuan?"

Shui Zhizi just mentioned Li Chuan without any reluctance at all. This is not the attitude a fiancée should have.

Prince Rui thought that Shui Zhizi had been able to hold on until now because of her love for Li Chuan, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Shouldn't I hate him? He knew Ying Wan'er had other intentions towards him, but he was still framed and lost his memory without any defense.

He never thought about regaining his memory after losing it. I don't believe that no one has exposed himself in front of him over the years, but he has never tried to find his memory.

Doesn't he really see or know how many innocent girls Ying Wan'er has harmed over the years because of jealousy?

If he really never saw it and never suspected it, then he was really stupid.

But if he saw it, he never restrained Ying Wan'er and never thought of seeking justice for those innocent women.

That only shows that he is greedy for the current power and dare not offend Ying Wan'er and the forces behind her.

My family was destroyed by such a stupid, irresponsible, and irresponsible person. Shouldn't I hate him?"

Shui Zhizi's tone was very calm. If King Rui had not seen her swollen eyes, he would have really believed that Shui Zhizi was as calm as she appeared.

When King Rui saw Shui Zhizi for the first time, he noticed that her eyes had turned into walnut-shaped ones and her makeup was already messy.

But Shui Zhizi obviously never cried, whether at the banquet or now.

In fact, if she acted more pitiful at the banquet, perhaps she could arouse more sympathy from everyone, but in front of everyone, Shui Zhizi always seemed to show her strong side.

Perhaps over the years she has become accustomed to using her strong side to support herself along the way.

"Shui Zhizi, I will thoroughly investigate what happened and give you justice."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shui Zhizi knelt down with all her heart. She knew very well that she could not have come this far without the support of the Rui Palace.

"I will inform you when I have finished my investigation. You can hand over any evidence you can produce. However, due to Wan'er's special status, I will do my best to make her pay the price she deserves."

"I understand." Understanding does not mean Shui Zhizi will do it.

What Shui Zhizi didn't tell King Rui was that he didn't need to investigate anything. She had all the necessary evidence, but she just had to wait a little longer.

What are they waiting for? Waiting for the people's will, waiting for the moment when the emperor has no choice.
