Chapter 114: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (22)
"Shui Zhizi, quick! Cloak!"
Shui Zhizi climbed ashore quickly, and Zheng Qian's cloak immediately wrapped Shui Zhizi tightly.
But the two of them didn't even have a chance to talk, as the prince had already reached the shore.
Shui Zhizi looked into the prince's eyes at a glance, he would not give up!
Shui Zhizi pulled out her hairpin from her already wet hair and held it against her chest.
"If the prince comes ashore now, I will poke my way in, and then fall headfirst into the pond of the prince's mansion, leaving the mansion haunted by wronged spirits every day."
The prince sneered and started to climb up.
"Water Gardenia stabbed her own heart without hesitation."
Zheng Qian was so frightened that he screamed, and the prince stopped climbing up.
From the direction of the prince, you can see that Shui Zhizi is exerting a lot of effort.
In just a few breaths, blood had already seeped out. Because Shui Zhizi's clothes were wet, she looked particularly terrifying. At least Zheng Qian and her maid who were surrounding Shui Zhizi had become weak in the knees.
However, there was no change in Shui Zhizi's expression. She just looked at the prince who was about to rush over at any time. There was sarcasm in Shui Zhizi's eyes, and she secretly called herself stupid.
Last time he wanted to burn his own property, he forced Zheng Hong to back down. Today he thought that if he used himself as a bargaining chip, the prince would definitely back down.
But why is it that I am always the one who gets hurt? I am clearly threatening others, so why do I have to threaten my own life?
Thinking of this, Shui Zhizi sneered and took the hairpin back in her hand.
"Prince, you have miscalculated. Reputation is worthless to a commoner girl. Even if you come up now, it will be useless. You can try!"
"Your Highness, do you think that if a commoner like me cared about these things while doing business, would there be Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower today? There should be a lot of rumors about me in the capital, and I don't mind having one more."
"But as long as the prince comes up today, as long as I can leave the prince's mansion today, I will sue everyone in this mansion!"
"I know that suing you powerful people in court will have no effect, but what if I sue the emperor?"
Shui Zhizi wiped her hairpin as she spoke, and declared that from today on she would never hide again.
"Prince, according to your plan, I will definitely have the opportunity to see the emperor, unless you can prevent me from seeing him forever. But if that's the case, your purpose of plotting against me today will not be achieved, right?"
The prince plotted against her not only to prevent Prince Rui from cooperating with him, but also for Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower. In this case, it would be impossible for the prince to hide her from others.
"Of course, Your Majesty can also make this matter a minor one, but if the common people spread the word that all the women attending the banquet today fell into the pond and were rescued by men, how will the prince respond?"
Shui Zhizi heard the sound coming from behind her, and the women all came over.
Zheng Qian, who was supporting Shui Zhizi, found that Shui Zhizi's whole body was trembling, not sure whether it was because of the cold or fear.
"Your Highness, you know that with the influence of Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall, I have the ability to do this!"
Shui Zhizi stared straight at the prince under the water, even with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Boss Shui, you don't dare. You don't dare to offend so many powerful people at the same time."
Shui Zhizi held the cleaned hairpin in her hand and pointed at her still bleeding wound. "Your Highness, you forgot that I am an orphan. There is nothing I dare not do!"
The prince's eyes were sinister. Shui Zhizi was an orphan who had nothing to care about except herself, but she was not even afraid of death, so nothing could control her.
In order to plan today, the women invited by the Prince's Mansion today are all the wives and daughters of ministers who stand on their side. If Shui Gardenia spread such rumors.
These women had met with trouble in the Prince's Mansion, and the price was something that he, the Prince, could not afford.
"Is the prince coming up? If not, I will take my leave first." Shui Zhizi forced herself to turn around.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Nothing happened in your mansion today. I had a very happy time." The happiness made her unforgettable for the rest of her life.
"Sorry for the trouble, Princess." Shui Zhizi leaned on Zheng Qian. She could no longer walk.
If she hadn't been forcing herself to hold on, she would have fainted, but she couldn't faint because she hadn't yet safely left the Prince's Mansion.
"Hurry, the prince has fainted, someone come, find the imperial physician!"
Shui Zhizi finally softened. Everything was fine. No one cared about her anymore.
"Princess, please send me back to Mingyuan Hall. Princess, please don't hand me over to anyone except my master Wu Kai and my senior brother Wu You. Please."
At this moment, Zheng Qian finally saw weakness and fear in Shui Zhizi's eyes.
"I promise you, even my fifth brother and King Rui can't take you away from me!"
"Thank you."
"Princess, Boss Shui fainted."
"Don't shout! Go get the carriage waiting at the door." If it was her, she would have fainted the moment she fell into the water, and Shui Zhizi is still injured. It was the first time that Zheng Qian realized that a person's potential could be so great.
"Yes."
Fortunately, Shui Zhizi knew that she was going to attend a Hongmen Banquet today, so she was well prepared and asked Dazhuang to follow. However, Dazhuang was a man and was not suitable to attend the banquet, so he waited outside the door with the Third Princess's men.
"Princess, I will drive the carriage."
"Are you able to?" Shui Zhizi's condition cannot be delayed.
"When I was doing business with my boss, I often encountered robbers, so I am quite good at driving a horse-drawn carriage to escape." Da Zhuang spoke because he knew the situation was urgent.
Zheng Qian was stunned. These two masters and servants were really...
"Okay, come on."
When Zheng Qian got off the carriage, he looked at Da Zhuang who looked anxious and nodded. It turned out that he was not an ordinary person just like his master.
"Doctor Wu, hurry! The boss is injured!"
Mingyuan Hall was full of patients at this time, but as soon as Wu Kai heard Da Zhuang's voice, he hurried over, and the Mingyuan Hall, which had been a little noisy, instantly became quiet.
Then there was another round of greetings, as if everyone was worried about Shui Zhizi, not only the doctors and waiters of Mingyuan Hall, but also the patients.
Because of the assassination attempt on Wu Kai last time, Wu You was able to step forward quickly this time to stabilize the situation.
He continued to let the two doctors hired by Mingyuantang see the patients while he comforted the patients. Soon Mingyuantang was stable.
Wu Kai had already gone in to treat Shui Zhizi.
It was obvious that the wound was caused by himself. Wu Kai felt very disappointed with him. Fortunately, Shui Zhizi had learned a lot of medical knowledge in the past few years and knew how to avoid fatal areas.
Wu Kai suddenly felt that being a doctor in a small place like they did in the countryside was good. At least there would not be life-threatening situations.
But when Wu Kai heard the expressions of gratitude from the people outside from time to time, he really couldn't bring himself to go back to the countryside.
