The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 165 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (9)

Shui Zhizi was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Xin Zhuyou couldn't help but stop her.

Looking at the watery light in Shui Zhizi's eyes, Xin Zhuyou's heart trembled.

"Princess, do you want to change your place of stay? I will arrange it now."

Xin Zhuyou really wanted to know whether Shui Zhizi heard what Xin Zhuyin said before he hit him.

What would she think if she heard it?

Will he despise him like other princes and princesses of Lai Kingdom, or will he be able to treat him as usual?

Even though he knew the hope was slim, Xin Zhuyou always hoped that someone would ignore his background and just look at him as a person.

Shui Zhizi stared into Xin Zhuyou's eyes and said, "Third Prince, do you think that I and my people living in your house disturb your peace and quiet?"

Xin Zhuyou clenched his fists. Shui Zhizi heard it and knew that this was his mansion.

This is where he lived when he was still unknown.

No one in the royal court of King Lai wanted to see him, the lowly son of a slave, so the Sixth Prince drove him out of the capital.

But he also entered the army under an assumed name, and finally found a place in the court of King Lai, and also had his own place in the capital.

After a few years, everyone in the King Lai's court had forgotten about this place, so he arranged Shui Zhizi and the others here because it was relatively safe.

But there were too many people looking for them, and they were eventually exposed.

"The princess may not know my origins. I am..."

Looking at Shui Zhizi's calm eyes, Xin Zhuyou felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

She heard it, but she didn't seem to take it seriously.

Shui Zhizi interrupted Xin Zhuyou and said, "Third Prince, I have known everything about you since you entered Dongmeng.

I thought that the Third Prince no longer needed to care about other people's opinions and words. "

Shui Zhizi was a little surprised. Xin Zhuyou had been neither humble nor arrogant along the way. Shui Zhizi thought he didn't care about what Xin Zhuyin said.

Xin Zhuyou slowly lowered his head under Shui Zhizi's puzzled gaze.

How could he not care? If he didn't care, he wouldn't want to change the current situation in Lai Country and want there to be fewer poor people like him.

At this moment, Xin Zhuyou remembered the admiring look Shui Zhizi had given him before. She would even be on guard against herself sometimes because she saw the situation too clearly.

So Shui Gardenia looked at him this way after knowing his background.

So what kind of image does he have in Shui Zhizi's eyes?

Resourceful or cunning?

But no matter what kind of image he has, in Shui Zhizi's eyes he shouldn't care about his background and shouldn't feel inferior.

For some unknown reason, Xin Zhuyou didn't want Shui Zhizi to see his inferiority complex.

"I don't care, but the eldest princess is of noble status and shouldn't be burdened by me."

"Third Prince, we didn't let any of the assassins go today, so there is no place safer for us than here.

The Third Prince has not done anything that would cause trouble for me."

A faint light appeared in Xin Zhuyou's eyes, so Shui Zhizi meant that it didn't matter about his background, it only mattered what he did?

Could Shui Zhizi be that different person? For the first time, Xin Zhuyou clearly heard the sound of his accelerated heartbeat.

"Princess, that King Lai is really not a good man." Yingfu held Shui Zhizi's uninjured hand and trembled slightly.

"Yingfu, I am here to marry, not to marry someone. What is my future path? I have thought it through very clearly.

Don't worry, I won't let myself suffer any loss."

"Princess." Yingfu felt very distressed. Whether it was getting married or marrying a foreign prince, it was a lifelong thing.

Is the princess going to spend her whole life with a man like that?

“What happened today was an accident in itself. If I hadn’t stopped the whip, I wouldn’t have been the one injured.

But this is also a good thing. Through this accident we can get a general understanding of the character of King Lai.

I already have my own ideas about how to negotiate with the Kingdom of Lai after the delegation arrives.

Yingfu, I know you are doing this for my own good and you feel sorry for me?

But you also saw what happened along the way into Lai State, Yingfu, do you really not want to change all this?

Don’t you want those refugees to have food and clothing like the people of East Bengal?”

Yingfu's pupils shrank slightly, "Princess, this is difficult."

“But we have to try. If Guolai can become stronger, it will be a great help to East Bengal.

But if Lai State remains like this forever and always seeks help from Dongmeng, I will not be the last princess to marry between Dongmeng and Lai State."

Yingfu was puzzled. "Why? They have already exchanged the late emperor's promise for your marriage. We will ignore them from now on."

Shui Zhizi smiled helplessly.

“It’s not that simple. Today, there are four powers on the continent, and there are exchanges of one kind or another between the northern countries and the other three powers.

Even though we have dealings with several other northern countries, they are still neutral on the surface.

But if we abandon Lai, which once helped us in times of crisis, what will other countries think? "

They will feel that Dongmeng is ruthless and ungrateful, and their originally neutral attitude may change and turn to the other two countries.

Therefore, it is impossible for Dong Meng to give up Lai State.

Yingfu suddenly realized that if they could make Lai better and better, other countries would also see the benefits of being on good terms with Dongmeng.

When making a choice, you will most likely lean towards Dong Meng.

“So Yingfu, I must stay and change the current situation in Lai State. I will try my best to make the marriage come to an end here.

Even if I don’t have such great ability, as long as the environment in Lai Country can be better, even if someone comes to marry in the future, they can live more easily.”

The determination in Shui Zhizi's eyes moved Yingfu. The princess who grew up with her had grown into someone she could be proud of.

"Princess, I will accompany you."

"I know."

After Xin Zhuyin returned to the palace, he felt guilty for a moment when asked by his mother.

But when he thought that it was Princess Dong Meng who rushed forward to stop the whip, he felt that he was not wrong.

He told his mother the truth about the situation.

"Mother, you don't have to worry too much. I have already sent people to keep an eye on Xin Zhuyou and will not let any assassins get close to Princess Le Meng.

Although it is not my fault, I will apologize to Princess Dongmeng in private after the marriage.

She has already come to our Lai country's territory, can she really go back?

Can those envoys and the emperor of Dongmeng really let a woman make her own decisions on state affairs?"

Xin Zhuyin really didn't like the way Shui Zhizi spoke to him today.

Although he couldn't find any problems, Xin Zhuyin just felt uncomfortable.
