The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 105: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (3)

"If the War King loses, the Rui Palace will be finished."

"Besides, the War King may not be afraid of the military power in my hands. If he wins, there is a high possibility that he will cross the river and destroy the bridge."

"So the prince pulled me into the game. As long as Mingyuan Hall has a good reputation and Kangning Building has a big enough influence, no matter who it is, they will not be able to easily attack Rui Palace because of the people's will."

"Yes, but this is premised on the fact that Boss Shui's Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall are strong enough, so Boss Shui still needs to work hard."

"Without the protection of the Rui Palace, the current Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall may be destroyed by the War King or the Crown Prince at any time, not to mention letting Boss Shui protect the Rui Palace."

The cold sweat on Shui Zhizi's body had dried up. She smiled calmly.

"Why is Your Majesty so sure that it is ruined? Since Your Majesty can see the usefulness of a commoner girl, then the War King and the Crown Prince can certainly see the usefulness as well."

"I can guarantee that I will never interfere with your business. I only ask Boss Shui to protect the Rui Palace when he has the energy to do so. But do you think that King Zhan and the Crown Prince can keep their distance from your business?"

"I, the gambling boss, am definitely not someone who is willing to take orders from others. I can guarantee that we are just cooperating. Apart from borrowing the reputation and money of Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Building, I will never force you to do anything."

"I bet the owner is a grateful person."

Shui Zhizi was a little discouraged. She had to admit that almost every word King Rui said accurately grasped the points that she cared about.

"Your Highness just said that we were just cooperating, how come it's a favor now?"

"Boss Shui, do you know why I came to you when Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall have nothing but reputation and no ability to protect themselves?"

"Why?" There are many people who want to cooperate with King Rui. Reputation and public support can be gained as long as one works hard.

"I have said before that it is because you are kind enough. This is not a lie. It is true that I want to protect myself, but it is also true that I want to help the people of Yan Dynasty."

"While supporting a businessman, I would rather support you who is willing to do good deeds."

"Of course the most important point is that Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Building were small enough at the time."

Shui Zhizi wondered, could being small be an advantage?

"It's small enough, and there is no involvement of any forces. You have to fight alone. I am the first person to lend you a helping hand, and Qi Yu truly regards you as a friend."

"Now, I have nothing to hide from you. I believe sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. I also bet that you are kind enough and will never betray the person who helped you when you were at the lowest point in your life."

Shui Zhizi became even more frustrated. Every word from King Rui really touched her. The key point was that Shui Zhizi could see that King Rui was telling the truth.

"What if the prince loses the bet?"

"I am willing to admit defeat."

"Then I bet that the prince will win."

"It's a pleasure to work with you, Boss Shui. Now can you tell me what's going on between you and the War King?"

Shui Zhizi's smile froze. It would have been better if King Rui had chosen another partner other than Zheng Hong.

If they win by then, Zheng Hong might protect Ying Wan'er.

But Shui Zhizi was not too worried about this. Judging from the way Zheng Hong was trying so hard to gain power, there was nothing he would not give up as long as he was given enough benefits.

"A few years ago, my home suffered a fire, and the War King brought me back to his palace. I forgot several years of memories due to the shock, but as soon as I opened my eyes, the War King asked me to be his maid."

"I was a free woman, but he made me a slave with just one word. I am annoyed when I see him now."

"If I hadn't run fast enough, I'd probably be working as a slave somewhere right now."

Shui Gardenia had already thought of the answer before they changed the topic just now.

"Hahaha, good thing Boss Shui ran away, otherwise I would have lost a great general."

"I promise that Prince Zhan will never let Boss Shui be a maid again. Not only Prince Zhan, but no one else in the Rui Palace can let Boss Shui be a maid."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shui Zhizi knew that she had passed this hurdle.

"Then I will go home first. After all, the prince has very high requirements for Kangning Tower."

"Okay, Boss Shui, go ahead and do your work. If you need anything, you can always come to me or Qi Yu."

"Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness. After today's incident gets out, it will be hard for any small incidents to happen in Corning Tower." The implication is that any incident must be a big one.

Shui Zhizi was prepared for this when she was pushed in front of people by King Rui, but she did not expect such a big event to come so soon.

"Boss, the War King is here. He's in the same box as last time."

Because of King Rui's high hopes, Shui Zhizi now spends almost every day running between Corning Building, the main building, and the branch stores, either researching new dishes or trying every possible way to attract customers.

"Just record it directly. I have already told everyone in the building that Zhan Wang does not charge for his visits. You don't need to come to me specifically for his visits in the future."

That is King Rui's partner, not hers. Even though King Rui has said that, Shui Zhizi is not prepared to have too much relationship with Zheng Hong.

"But the War King wants to see you."

"No, can't you see I'm busy?" Shui Gardenia said without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go and tell you right away."

After receiving the answer, Zheng Hong was stunned for a while. It seemed that Shui Zhizi had made up her mind not to have any contact with him.

He really was worrying unnecessarily that Shui Zhizi and Li Chuan would recover their memories due to mutual stimulation. Shui Zhizi was now busy with business and had no time to think about the past.

This woman is really stingy and holds a grudge.

When Prince Rui was in court today, he jokingly told him why Shui Zhizi hated him. He was so angry that he almost laughed when he found out.

Does Shui Zhizi think that anyone can be a maid in Prince Zhan's mansion?

He felt sorry for her and wanted to take her in because of Li Chuan.

It would have been fine if Shui Zhizi had just tried to avoid it at the time, but she actually remembered the incident for several years.

King Rui also said that he almost buried a great talent.

Even so, Zheng Hong was not angry. He even wanted to find Shui Zhizi to clarify the misunderstanding. As a result, he came to her house in person, but Shui Zhizi was unwilling to put down the dish in her hand.

Zheng Hong had never thought that he couldn't even compare to a single dish.

"My lord, be careful!"

When Zheng Hong was feeling annoyed and complaining to himself, his guard Xiao Wu suddenly shouted.

But it was too late. Zheng Hong, who was feeling indignant, had already lost his usual vigilance and was still stabbed in the arm by a sword shot from the window.

"My lord, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. You go chase the person and take him alive." Zheng Hong only brought Xiao Wu, a guard, with him when he went out today.

Zheng Hong originally thought that since they were in Shui Zhizi's Corning Building, Shui Zhizi would not ignore him under such circumstances, so he sent Xiao Wu out without thinking too much.
