The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 118: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (26)

Shui Zhizi slowly picked up the medicine on the bedside table and took a sip, hoping that Ying Wan'er would be prepared, as her revenge was about to begin.

Shui Zhizi originally wanted to wait until the time was right and until she was strong enough before taking action.

But when would she have the chance to take revenge? She would never be strong enough compared to those high officials in the capital.

So Shui Zhizi was not going to wait any longer.

"Boss Shui is awake." Prince Rui went to Prince Zhan's mansion, and after getting Zheng Hong's attitude, he turned back to Mingyuan Hall.

At this time, Shui Zhizi was drinking the special medicine that Guan Kai gave her.

"Master told me that Prince Rui came over right after I returned to Mingyuan Hall. I would like to thank Prince Rui for his concern."

Prince Rui said somewhat embarrassedly: "It was I who pushed you in front of others, so I naturally have to protect you. What happened today was my mistake, and I didn't expect the prince to be so despicable."

It is obvious that the prince has never seen Shui Zhizi, so isn’t he afraid of marrying a woman with a disease or who is extremely ugly?

"I believe that Your Majesty will seek justice for me." The prince was targeting her just to deal with Prince Rui, so this matter should be resolved by Prince Rui.

It is a great thing that she can protect herself today. When facing the Crown Prince, Shui Zhizi doesn't mind using the means of King Rui.

"I have already checked and found out that it was definitely the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess who plotted against you, but the one who really pushed you into this was Ying Wan'er."

Shui Zhizi's face changed when she heard Prince Rui's words. She had not anticipated the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess's scheme against her, and she did not pay attention to who pushed her into the water.

It's true that enemies often meet on a narrow road! She and Ying Wan'er have one more grudge.

Facing Shui Zhizi's expression, King Rui just thought that Shui Zhizi was so angry because she knew who pushed her into the water.

Prince Rui continued, "Ying Wan'er is the wife of Li Chuan, the Minister of War. Li Chuan is the right-hand man of Prince Zhan, so I came here today to ask you whether you want to put the blame on the Crown Prince or make Ying Wan'er pay the price as well?"

"Since Li Chuan is the War King's man, how could his wife attack me? What does Your Majesty mean? Do you want me to not pursue what happened today?"

Prince Rui felt amused when he saw Shui Zhizi's sharp eyes. Shui Zhizi was already on guard before he said anything.

Even if he really told Shui Zhizi not to pursue what happened today, Shui Zhizi would have to listen.

Wasn’t the assassination incident last time of the same nature as today?

Xiao Wu was forced to injure Doctor Wu by the assassin, but Shui Zhizi did not let Xiao Wu go either.

Because Xiao Wu clearly has a choice, he can completely choose not to do this.

But Xiao Wu didn't care about the life and death of ordinary people.

The same goes for Ying Wan'er today. No matter how the Crown Princess instigates her, with her status she can choose not to do it.

Although she didn't tell King Zhan about this in advance, she still did it. In the final analysis, she still felt that Shui Zhizi was worth her effort.

It's time to change those habits of not treating people as human beings. From the beginning to the end, Prince Rui never thought of letting Shui Zhizi let Ying Wan'er go.

"Boss Shui, since you have already cooperated with me, I will definitely stand by your side. I may not be able to do anything to the crown prince for the time being, but you can do whatever you want with Ying Wan'er, just don't hurt her life."

Shui Zhizi smiled nonchalantly and said, "Even if I pursue the matter, what can I do to the Minister's wife? So, Your Majesty, rest assured that I will not pursue the matter this time."

Naturally, she had to collect all the things Ying Wan'er owed her and settle the accounts one by one. Otherwise, how could she enjoy herself?

"Boss Shui?" Prince Rui was puzzled.

Shui Zhizi usually has an unyielding personality even when talking to a prince like him, so why did she seem to not care at all even though she suffered so much this time?

"But I have a request. If there are any difficulties from the Crown Prince's Mansion in the future, please help me solve them."

"Of course. The prince targeted you because of me. Even if you didn't say anything, I would not let this happen again."

"I think Boss Shui should teach Ying Wan'er a lesson. Although I don't know Ying Wan'er very well, I have heard of her character. I'm afraid that Boss Shui won't be grateful to Ying Wan'er if he takes a step back this time."

Grateful? Shui Zhizi sneered in her heart. Would someone like Ying Wan'er have such an emotion in her heart? "

"As a commoner, what will happen if I attack the minister's wife?"

"It's okay. I still have the confidence."

"But just because we can't do anything recently doesn't mean we can't do anything in the future. My Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall are about to reopen branches. I don't want to cause trouble or offend anyone at this time."

For someone of Ying Wan'er's status, Shui Zhizi would not take action rashly if she could not kill her in one go.

Prince Rui thought for a while and felt that what Shui Zhizi said made sense. After all, Ying Wan'er still had General Ying's followers behind her. If Ying Wan'er completely hated her, it would be a big trouble for Shui Zhizi.

"Of course, if Your Majesty really feels bad about it, just think of it as Your Majesty owing me a favor and repay it to me next time."

After hearing Shui Zhizi's words, King Rui agreed before he could even react. After he came to his senses, he could only sigh inwardly at Shui Zhizi's cunning.

"Boss Shui, no matter what, I still have to apologize to you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be dragged into these fights."

Shui Zhizi said seriously, "But if it weren't for your Majesty, I wouldn't have been able to develop so smoothly and so fast with Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Building. Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what's good for me."

Because of Prince Rui, she met Ying Wan'er earlier than expected, and Shui Zhizi was very content.

Shui Zhizi was still injured, and Prince Rui was about to leave after finishing his business.

But before leaving, he couldn't help but say something.

"Why does Mr. Shui's medicine smell so strong? I smelled it before I even entered the room. Can't you ask Doctor Wu to come up with something?"

He is a grown man and he can't even smell it, so how can he drink the water gardenia?

"It was my master who found a way to do it for me." Shui Zhizi smiled bitterly.

"what?"

"It's a lesson for me. I've suffered enough this time, so I won't be so impulsive next time."

If it were in the past, Shui Zhizi would definitely throw a tantrum and ask Guan Kai to change the medicine.

But this time Shui Zhizi also wanted to learn a lesson. It was someone else who made the mistake, and she shouldn't use herself as a threat.

Next time a situation like this happens, I will threaten the other person with his life.

King Rui frowned but said nothing.

In Prince Rui's opinion, Shui Zhizi was very capable for being able to react so quickly under such circumstances and leave the Prince's Mansion on her own.

After Prince Rui left, Shui Zhizi could finally rest.

Shui Zhizi's fever hasn't subsided yet, but because the matter is not over yet, Shui Zhizi has been holding on.
