The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 128: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (36)

"But Ying Wan'er is not stupid enough to attack them at this time. It should be that the Ren family is afraid of retaliation, so they ran away on their own."

"Will Madam Li still chase after him?"

"She doesn't have the guts. Now the people of Beijing and even the officials in the court are discussing this matter. After all, Prince Zhan and Li Chuan should be optimistic about her."

"So don't worry too much. After this incident, Ying Wan'er should be more restrained."

Shui Zhizi sneered in her heart, "She has restrained herself, so does that mean all the things that happened before don't count? I heard that there is still a life lost."

King Rui heard the coldness in Shui Zhizi's tone. It was normal for Shui Zhizi to stand up for ordinary people.

"You're still afraid, and you're worrying about others?" Although it was a joke, King Rui did not laugh.

"That's how things are in this world. Those powerful people never seem to care about the lives of ordinary people. But this time, because of the fire at the Ren family, Li Chuan should give some money to the servant who was beaten to death."

"Really? But the prince himself is also a powerful person."

Li Chuan also uses this method to solve problems. It seems that he is used to this job as an official.

Prince Rui was not angry when Shui Zhizi said this, but he looked at Shui Zhizi with a serious look.

"Shui Zhizi, that's why I chose you as my partner. I am protecting you and supporting you now because I want you to open clinics like Mingyuantang all over the world."

The pupils of Water Gardenia shrank slightly, it seems that there is a reason why it is so famous among the people.

She seemed to be lucky enough to have met such a partner.

"But now I can't even save my life."

"I have already thought about it for you. The generals standing behind Ying Wan'er have some achievements in the army, but they will not attack you for no reason."

"So someone attacked a common woman for no reason?"

It doesn’t really matter whether they attack her or not; the most important thing is that they protect Ying Wan’er.

"Most of them are reasonable. For example, some generals still have complaints about Ying Wan'er this time, but after all, she is General Ying's only daughter, so they can turn a blind eye."

If they could turn a blind eye to human lives, what else could they see? Shui Zhizi was very skeptical.

However, King Rui's next words gave Shui Zhizi hope.

"But Ying Wan'er's behavior has become more and more excessive in recent years. If she continues like this, I'm afraid some generals will no longer care about her."

"So the only person you have to be on guard against is General Zhongwu Feida. He followed General Ying as soon as he joined the army and was promoted by General Ying himself.

He is very loyal to General Ying, and most importantly, he helps Ying Wan'er unconditionally, and he also has some strategies."

"Unconditionally?" This means that he doesn't distinguish right from wrong regarding Wan'er's matter.

"I heard that he was the one who arranged Ying Wan'er's marriage. Li Chuan seemed to have a fiancée, but for some reason, Li Chuan inexplicably lost his memory, and no one in the court mentioned this matter again."

"Is Li Chuan's amnesia related to this General Zhongwu?" Shui Zhizi took a few steps forward.

“I don’t know the details. After I came back, King Zhan had already suppressed the matter. I only heard some rumors.

It's not important and has nothing to do with us. You just need to be careful with this person."

Shui Zhizi stepped back to her original position step by step. Not important? Didn't anyone think that Li Chuan still had parents and family?

Has no one ever wondered?

"I understand, girl."

"By the way, my lord, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"You said."

"I am going to the south in a few days. Mingyuantang is short of some medicinal herbs, so I have to go buy some. While I am away, please help me look after the store."

"It's a small matter, as long as you don't run away. But aren't there any medicinal herbs in Beijing?"

"Most of these herbs grow in the south. We can choose from more herbs where they grow, and the quality is easier to control."

"Fortunately, your Kangning Building is profitable, otherwise I don't know how long Mingyuan Hall can be open."

Even when treating ordinary people and prescribing medicine, Mingyuantang never does it in a perfunctory manner.

"The reason why Mingyuan Hall can continue to operate for such a long time is mainly because of the protection of the prince. Otherwise, those colleagues would have driven me out of the capital long ago."

King Rui shook his head and said nothing. Some patients might not be willing to compete with Mingyuantang. They couldn't afford to pay a penny and just waited for Mingyuantang's free consultation.

"I have noticed that Mr. Shui has become more and more polite to me recently."

"Your Highness protects Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower without asking why, so I must be worthy of your care."

Prince Rui left Corning Tower with a smile on his face. He was not wrong about the person. Shui Zhizi was the most grateful person.

Shui Zhizi is going to the south to buy medicine, but she also wants to see Ren Yue on the way.

Shui Zhizi spent several days arranging everything in the capital. However, the night before leaving the capital, Shui Zhizi met an unexpected person in Corning Building.

Li Chuan was drunk.

Watching Li Chuan staggering out, Shui Zhizi looked around the store. There were not many people in the store, so Shui Zhizi couldn't bear it anymore.

"Master Li, I have something to ask you."

Li Chuan turned his head subconsciously, but what he said was something Shui Zhizi did not expect.

"Shh! Stay away from me. If Ying Wan'er sees you, she will kill you." Li Chun spoke in a halting manner and it was obvious that he was quite drunk.

Shui Zhizi was surprised by what Li Chuan said, but also became angry.

"So Lord Li knows about everything Madam Li did?" Li Chuan knew that Ying Wan'er was disregarding human life and beating and killing servants at will, but he didn't stop her at all?

Could it be that these years of official career have really changed Li Chuan? Shui Zhizi was angry and sad.

That was her second brother who taught her to read and write.

That was my second brother who was devoted to serving the country and wanted to be a good official. How could he become like this?

Could it be that amnesia can even change a person’s character?

"Know, what?" Li Chuan looked at Shui Zhizi with blurred eyes.

"Oh, I know. I should know."

If he had known it earlier, so many maids in the mansion would not have been beaten to death or sold, and Ren Yue would not have been sold to that kind of place.

But he knew nothing. Ying Wan'er said that she arranged those maids to live in a farm outside the city.

Ying Wan'er made such arrangements almost every once in a while, so he believed it.

Why did he believe it? Why didn't he ask a few more questions?

So many lives were lost because of him. If he didn't let the maids bring him water, tea, and things...
